The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 75

Since she could not see the face of that man, and would be safe within the walls of that coffee shop, she decided not to stress herself too much and confidently walked inside. She chose a table at the back corner of the shop where it was more quiet and and would not be distracted.

She sat down and ordered a cup of coffee along with a few desserts. She then began with her action section of the story, where she added spices and exaggerated some events. She took all what had happened through the day and made it seem like it was just normal scenes from a high grade action movie. She focused on her work for a while but then remembered that it was not safe for her to be in a place like that when she knew no one from those slums, even if something were to happen to her, no one would come to her rescue.

She called a waiter and asked him to wrap up all her untouched desserts pastry, and then called Liam while waiting for her take out bag.

“What’s up, have you eaten?.”

A manly yet tender voice was heard over the phone as soon as the call was connected.

“Jeah, I’m actually at the coffee shop in the downtown slums. I wanted to check if you are still at the office, maybe we can go home together when you are done with your work.”

The man frowned upon hearing what Ciara had just said, and quickly checked the GPS tracker that he had installed on Ciara’s watch.

” what are you doing there?, that place is very dangerous. Do you know what can happen to you if you bump in to the notorious gangster from that area?” he then paused for a second maybe trying to keep control of his anger, and continued with a now much gentler tone.

” take all your things right now and come back, I’m waiting at the office for you or do you want me to get Larry to come and get you? “

Ciara didn’t understand why Liam was getting so worked up over such a small issue, yes it was a very dangerous area that she was in. But she was perfectly fine right now, isn’t she?.

” No don’t bother Larry over such a small thing I will take a taxi right in front of this coffee shop entrance. No need to worry.”

” I’m not bothering him, it’s his job and I pay a lot for him to do what he does.”

” I understand, but I still think I’ll be fine on my own. I’ll be there in no time. “

After packing her bag, she stood up to go pay for her meal and as she took the take out bag from the server, a commotion erupted from outside the shop.

Ciara wasn’t sure what was happening and was still debating with herself if she should continue and walk out of the shop or it would be safer for her to wait till this whole thing goes down when two women casually walked in the shop as if nothing was happening outside.

“arg who does he think he is, challenging the Dube Brothers in their own territory. If he wants to sell drugs he must replace his own space, maybe they would just kill him who knows.”

“You think he’s selling drugs?, you see that very same guy in a black leather jacket and black trousers was following a woman about 2 hours ago.”

” But why would the Dube Brothers replace trouble with him if he’s not selling drugs, or maybe that woman he was following is one of theirs…

Ciara could no longer hear what they were saying as they were now far from where she was, but what kept ring in her mind was the fact that the man who was following her earlier could possibly be the same man they are beating up outside.

Pumped by curiosity, Ciara walked out of the café. She was hoping to see the man who who scared her and was following her but was soon horrified by what she saw.

The man was covered in b***d, and looked so weak from the beating, and the Dube brothers didn’t look like they were going to stop anytime soon. One was pointing a gun at the man, while the other was holding him down , maybe it was to prevent him from fighting back or escaping.

Although the man’s face was covered in b***d, Ciara didn’t mistake the person’s identity. Although she didn’t like the man and maybe hated him a little she just couldn’t bring herself to let him die like that, especially in a place where they both weren’t familiar with.

” Hey, I said who are you working for, why are you roaming around in my territory, you even have the nerve to kidnap a woman here. Who is it that you are working for?”

The man spat out b***d from his mouth, he gathered enough strength to speak and with gritted teeth he responded.

” For God sake I don’t work for anyone, I didn’t kidnap anyone.”

” still denying I see, maybe I should just kill you right here and see who collects your dead body.”

As he said that, Dexter closed his eyes and braced himself for death. He just didn’t have any strength left in him to beg for his life or even fight them . Just when he thought all was over, he heard a woman shouting.

” Hey stop it right there, like he said he did nothing wrong and is not a dealer. Just let him go, haven’t you tortured him enough?”

Dexter who was now on the ground wanted to shout at Ciara telling her to go and let him be, he wanted her to save herself as this was a dangerous situation they were in. Sadly he had no strength, and all he could say was,

” Cee No. “

Ciara only looked at him for a split second before focusing her eyes on the man with the gun.

” I said let him go!!”.
