BEAUTY AND ASHES PART 4 (The Final Episode)

Recap from Last Episode
"She folds her arms around him and lets her lips rest on his lips as she unbuttons his shirt…Ben feels the adrenaline rush through his brain, he had never felt this way with any woman. But he his eyes becomes heavy, he can’t move his hands and suddenly his feet can’t hold him up and he crashes down to the ground.  

Three men stand across the table a few feet away from the freezer in the dining room. Mr Ben’s Goons interrogate the man...


...BANG, BANG” Two gunshots rent the air, “Jesus” She muffles under her breath…she lifts up the lid and sees the two men hunched over Tayo. He is on his knees pleading, as the gunshots had been directed at his legs...
 For the first time she noticed. Tayo was beautiful..."

CONTINUATION...

" ...why had she been so blind…so angry. Life rocks you like the ocean and sometimes the storm is so crazy that you don’t think. When everything has calmed you ask yourself “what the HECK was I thinking!” “What the what? Okay what’s going on?” Tayo prods, “Sorry don’t mind me I was just thinking.” Nneka replies. She rests her hands on he’s and for a minute their eyes lock. It seemed like forever but Nneka eventually tears her gaze away from him.



Almost immediately in a flash, the door explodes off its hinges and the two men who left earlier march inside followed by Mr Ben. “So we meet again. Mystery Lady” A demented smile etches across Mr Ben’s face.

Tayo tries to get up but immediately the two men pounce on him, he is restrained to floor. “B$%$@#@” Mr Ben swings his hand across Nneka’s cheek. She crashes into the television stand in the room. As she struggles up from the ground Mr Ben Kicks her in the belly. “Let’s finish what we started…” He loosens his belt and twists her arm, making her to face him. She grabs a shard of glass and scratches Mr Ben’s hands “Arrrrgh…you B#%^%%$” Immediately, Tayo taking advantage of the opportunity breaks free from the Men’s grip. He grabs the gun out of their loose side strap and pulls the trigger.


Gunshots rent the air, and everything goes black and white…glass and debris fly across the room. The sounds are deafening. Moments later she opens her eyes, but can’t see clearly…Tayo leans over her with blood smeared over his shirt and face. “Are you alright? Nneka speak to me” Tayo taps her face.

She tries to sit up but feels a sharp pain in her side, she had been shot! “Take it easy, try not to speak, I’ll get you to a hospi…”, “BANG!!!” Tayo’s blood splatters over her shirt.


Mr Ben staggers over her with a gun in his hands “You think you can bring me down that easy…” Mr Ben spits. Tayo falls into her hands and she feels the gun he held press onto her thigh, she clenches the gun.

“Well, time to join your boyfriend”, Mr Ben lifts up his gun but she stretches out her hand with the gun and pulls the trigger immediately “BANG!” He’s eyes are wide open, bewildered as he feels the blood trickle down his body, he falls to the ground and he is gone. She reaches for his face, Tayo was barely breathing…”Tayo!” She cries. “Start over again…” Tayo coughs the words, “it’s over now I am sorry for causing you so much pain…please, take this!” He presses a key into her hands. “Go to Pastor, he will explain everything…I love you.” The words escape his mouth as he breathes his last. The world seemed to spin as she holds Tayo in her arms. “What manner of love is this…I hurt him and still he died for me…”


THE END
