The devil who loved me - Chapter 98

]The DVC stuttered..

Prof Agbaide : young lady, who are you, what do you want and how did you find me?

Me: I am here as regards Jafar?

Prof Agbaide: who is Jafar?

I brought out Jafar’s gun from my purse…

The renowned professor of Maths and Statistics fell on the bed..

Me: any other wrong answer and you get a bullet..

Prof Agbaide : Who was he to you?

Me: My life…

Prof Agbaide : I am sorry, please…please…I have a wife and kids…little children…please spare my life….

Me : why did you order for him to be killed?

Me: I have all the messages you exchanged with the cops, you even described him and the car he drove…

Prof Agbaide : I was just following orders..

Me: So you would be the Vice-Chancellor?

Prof Agbaide: that wasn’t the ultimate aim, the school was going in the wrong direction, Jafar and his guys were the stumbling block.

Me: National would probably have won and given you the mandate you required..

Prof Agbaide : Even with National, Jafar was still a problem..

Me : so you killed my best Friend, Abayomi…and Jafar?

Prof Agbaide: I didn’t kill them, I was just following the script..

Me: Good

Prof Agbaide : Now that Jafar and Eli are dead, we can start afresh…I am influential enough to make you the next SUG president. Believe me!

Me: are you serious?

Prof Agbaide : Yes

Me: wont that be lovely?

Prof Agbaide : I will give you 3million Naira cash too..

Me: you are generous sir…do you know people think you have been kidnapped or even killed in Ago-iwoye.

Prof Agbaide : I just wanted to stay out of the politics for a while, you know I told you I am a Christian..i was tired of the deaths..

The image of the girls with him earlier flashed through my mind, I smiled at the Christian..

Me: No problem…

Prof Agbaide : Thank you my daughter, what department are you in? I promise you that you will graduate with a 2’1. Truthfully…

Me: You are far too kind sir…

Prof Agbaide: it’s my pleasure dear…just put down the gun…

I did as I was told. I could see the smile of victory spread across his face.

I started to leave the room..

Prof Agbaide : don’t leave like this, let me give you money..

Me: don’t worry…I am okay…

Uche and “Last-Born” were waiting by the balcony as I stepped out..I walked down to the Hilux to wait for them, in about ten minutes, they joined me. “Last-Born” was holding something wrapped in a piece of cloth..

Me: Uche, wetin “Last-Born” dey put inside booth?

Uche : Na the man head, we no wan waste bullet on top the pig..

Me: Oh…

“Last-Born” joined Uche in front as we drove back to Ago-iwoye..

A Uk number was calling me, it was Toun…

Me: Hello babe..

Toun: I will be coming back this weekend o..heard we will be resuming classes on Monday..

Me: Yes..

Toun: I got you a couple of things, anyhow sha…when we see…

Me: Thanks dear…see you soon!

We were in Ago before 2pm, we went straight to the house, where I closed the door and spoke to Jafar. I didn’t need words, I spoke through my heart…whenever I spoke to him like that I felt peace.

Around 6pm, I called Timi..

Me: are you home?

Timi: yes dear..

Me: can I come now?

Timi: yes you can..

Me: are you sure…I don’t want to disturb you o…

Timi: come jor, after all that has happened, you need somebody to take care of you..

Me: thank you dear.

Timi was waiting by the door when I knocked, he opened the door immediately…I fel into his arms as we hugged..
