Chapter Seventeen

Melody

Yesterday might’ve been one of the hardest moments of my life. In my heart I know what I’m doing is the right thing because I don’t want to change him. Mikel is a great man. I don’t have any doubt about that, but . . . I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night knowing the things he does. Part of me is struggling with this, on whether or not I’m making the biggest mistake of my life, unsure on whether I should give him another shot . . . but I already know I can’t.

I stayed at a hotel in town last night and now it’s a little after seven in the morning. Even though I know things needed to end, I don’t think I ended them in the right way. To say I felt bitter last night is a dramatic understatement. So, I’m in the back of a cab on my way to Mikel’s home. My hope is we can talk face-to-face and I can leave on good terms, as friends.

“We’re almost here,” The driver tells me.

I glance up from my phone after telling a couple friends I’d be heading back to Atlanta today. I figured it was best to get back in touch with people I’ve fallen out of contact with. It’ll make going back to stateside living a bit easier.

“Perfect. Drop me off at the front entrance and I’ll walk in. Keep your car outside the gate and I’ll come back within thirty minutes.”

“You know you’ll pay me for the entire time, right?” He spits in a rude tone.

I nod, “Yes, and I’ll happily leave you a rewarding tip for your patience as well. I only need thirty minutes.”

“Whatever you say, lady.” He mutters, pulling down the dirt driveway we come to the gate and I exit the vehicle with my purse thrown over my shoulder. Shutting the car door I approach the gate and walk up to the small door area where there’s another spot to put the code in.

Since Mikel and I typically came back using a vehicle I’d never used this entrance, so this time’s the first. I hope it works. I put in the code to grant me entry and sigh in relief as the box beeps, signaling now I can open the door. I push and walk through the entrance, making sure it closes behind me.

It takes me a couple minutes before I’m on his front porch, and I see his men walking around the place. Funny how at first I wrote off the fact he had armed bodyguards. I figured it must be normal for a man like this who’s so determined to build orphanages and schools here in South Africa. They were for simple protection. What I didn’t know was the truth behind it, and how little his charity work has to do with his guards. Now, I see the real reason they’re here. To ensure their boss doesn’t die at the hands of an enemy.

Mikel Lungu is in the mafia.
