TAMING MR HATEFUL

❣️ BEYONCE ❣️

I looked at the orphanage home again knowing I was going to miss it so much. I can't keep staying there. I am old enough to feed myself.

All my friends since I was young are now in their new homes and as for me. As the unfortunate child, can't get any parent.

I wonder what my parents used witchcraft for. I walked away from the door trying not to cry. My guardian begged me to stay but I refused.

I am twenty. I need to continue my life as a young free living lady. I need to know how out there really looks like.

My bags were in my hand, they contained my clothes and other things like my cream and hair comb.

I looked around the streets not knowing exactly where to head to. But I didn't want to go back so I kept walking.

Anywhere the night meets me, there I will lay my head. I had packaged food in a small bag. My guardian had it arranged for me when I insisted on leaving. The food would serve for the whole of today.

She told me something that kept ringing in my head. Which is;

"There are bad men out there, all they want to do is get in between your legs. Beware." She told me and it has always been on my mind.

I got to the main road and I saw many shops opened. Don't be surprised I am acting new in the place I have lived for 20 years.

They never allowed me leave the compound because they knew I could get molested or killed by the people of the town.

Immediately some shop owners sighted me. They ran into their shops and locked it up. Some ran inside and began to whisper things to themselves.

I felt so ashamed as they did. Now I see why they never allowed me step out of the compound. They knew this would happen.

I took to my heels running down the road in pain. I realized that if I want to start my life brand new, I needed to go to a place where they have never heard of my parents.

No one will ever give a job around here.

I kept running and I felt my heart would cease any moment from now. I got into two buildings to catch my breath.

I rested my back on the wall breathing very hard. I looked around me and I saw i was in a different place.

"Did I run that long?" I thought looking back to see I have ran almost five streets.

"Wow."

I guess I can start my life around here. I walked out of the buildings and when people saw me they looked away like I was a normal person.

I was so happy that I wasn't chased or something. They didn't know me. That I was sure of.

It looked like another town. Or will I say another City? I walked admits the shops and I sighted a shop which pigeons in it.

"Wow." I exclaimed in me. They looked beautiful, they had different bright colors.

I brought out the rice balls ma'am Anita packed for me and put some on my hand. I raised up my hand and when they saw the grains, they rushed to my hand eating from my palm.

I laughed as their beaks tickled my palm. I looked up and I saw a woman looking at me from the inside of the shop.

I guessed she was the owner of the shop and of course the pigeons. She watched me from inside the shop as they finished up the rice in my palm.

When it was finished, they flew back into the shop. I smiled looking at the birds one last time before turning my back to go when the woman spoke up.

"They like you." She said and I looked back to see her smiling at me.

"I like them too." I said walking closer to the shop.

"You are new here?" She asked and I nodded.

"Yes it's quite obvious right." I said raising up the bags of my luggages and she shook her head.

"Not that. People around here mind their business. They have never fed my birds before, but when you did I realized you were new." She explained and I nodded.

"I'm new. Looking for shelter and a job." I said and she invited me in.

"Sit." She said and I smiled sitting.

"Thanks." I replied and she sat in front of me too.

"What's your name?" She asked.

"Beyonce." I replied hoping she won't ask for my father's name.

"Well am Tonia." She said and I smiled nodding.

"So where are you from?" She asked and got lost in thoughts. I can't let her know where I am from, she may end up chasing me out of the shop.

"My father died before I was born, and my mother died a day before yesterday. Since then I have been deprived of their properties and I have been on the streets." I explained and I saw pity on her face.

"Don't you have a family?" She asked and I shook my head.

"No I don't." I replied and she sighed.

"I can help you. I see you have a pure heart. You can start working here as from today. But you have to sleep here cos my husband won't want a stranger in our home." She said and I felt so happy.

"Thank you so much Ma'am. I am so grateful. I will be fine staying here." I said and she smiled.

"Good. Drop your bags in the shop, I will show you how things are done here." She said and I nodded standing up with my bags.

When I was walking out, I heard the noises of cars and I saw the women, both young and old peeping out their shops with a large grin on their faces.

"What's going on?" I asked Mrs Tonia as I saw she was also staring outside her shop.

"Ramson will be passing soon. Those are his men in the three cars in front." She said pointing to the chairs approaching us really fast.

"Why are they in so much rush? Don't they know children can be playing on the road. This is a market." I said and she placed her finger on her lips shutting me up.

"Never say anything against Ramson. You won't last a day. Especially his mother." She said and I looked at the cars which were lined up accordingly as they moved.

"Who is this?" I thought when they got closer and then I saw one of the pigeons on the road eating rice.

"There's a pigeon!" I yelled looking at the car and the distance which was very little. I need to save the pigeon.

I ran out of the shop and I heard the women yelling but I didn't answer, I really didn't want to see that Pigeon die.

I got to the pigeon and took it in my hand throwing it into the shop and shut my eye tight expecting the worst.

To my surprise noting touched me, but I heard the sounds of hits. The car pressed the breaks suddenly and I guess the cars coming behind collided with it from behind.

😻 RAMSON 😻

The car stopped abruptly and I hit my head on the seat that was in front of me. I looked at mother and I saw she also hit her head and her head was bleeding.

"Mother." I called fearfully and I saw she was already unconscious.

"What the f**k happened!!!" I roared in anger.

"Boss we are so sorry. A last tried to save a pigeon so she got in front of the car and I had to apply the breaks as soon as possible so as not to hit her." The driver said through the window and I got so vexed.

"So you hurt my mother for some street b**ch!!!" I yelled and he went on his kneels immediately. I brought out my pistol in anger and shot him right on his head.

I heard the screams of the women as they rushed into their shops. I climbed down the car and then I saw the mess my cars were already.

"B**tch." I mumbled in great anger.

"Get mother to the hospital now! I will meet you there after killing that b**ch." I said to one of my drivers and they moved her to the last car on the line.

They zoomed off with the great speed I was expecting. I looked at the other men who looked so terrified.

"Where is the lady?" I asked and they began to walk to the front. I looked at my cars as I walked, and I sighted the scratches and damages, the anger in me multiplied.

We got to the car in front and I couldn't see any young lady.

"Where the f**k is she?" I asked looking at my men and they looked around.

"She was right here trying to save a pigeon." One said and I sighted a pigeon shop. I then saw a woman there looking at us.

I suspected she knew the young lady in question, so I stormed into the shop. I grabbed her by the hair and dragged her out.

My men didn't help me because they knew when it comes to my mother I love treating it all by myself.

I made her kneel and I heard screams from the other women. My men shot some bullets to the sky and the all went silent at the sound of the gun shots.

"I know you are here somewhere young lady. And I know you won't want me to blow this Woman's head off right in the front of this children." I said pointing the gun to her head.

"I will count to three and if you don't surrender, I will kill her, kill the children and later look for you and kill you."

"One!" I called looking around and I saw no one.

"Two!" I called corking my gun.

"Three!" I called and was almost pulling the trigger when I heard someone yell.

"Don't! Please don't!" I heard the person say. Her voice sounded sweet but full of fear. That's what I wanted.

"Come to my front!" I roared and I waited for the b**ch to appear. And then she walked past me with her head bowed. It was obvious she was shivering.

"So you are the Pigeon savior right?" I asked walking to her.

"Am sorry." She said in tears.

"Raise up your head now." I said and she rose up her head showing me her...

"Wtf! Is she the one?" I asked the men and they nodded.

"Yes boss." They replied and I looked at her again.

"How would she be so beautiful?" I thought raising up her head well with my gun and she was shivering.

"Can you at least let her go. Then you can kill me if you want to." She said and brought me back to my senses.

"So you really want to die." I said walking in front of her.

"I don't think I really have a choice here. So just get down to what you want to do." She said and I looked at her.

"Wow. Such guts." I said looking at her.

"Get her in the car." I said and I saw her look around her in shock.

"Why get me in the car? Why not kill me here?" She asked as the men carried her.

"Maybe I changed my mind about killing you. I have better punishments." I said looking at the woman on her kneels and shooting her on the head before walking to the car.

Someone must die for what happened to my mom.

"Why did you kill her! She didn't offend you!" She yelled in tears as they threw her into the car.

"Take her home. I will get to the hospital." I said and they nodded. I hopped into the car and we drove off the market.

.

.

With great speed we got to the hospital, the men opened up the door for me and I ran into the hospital thinking about mother.

Immediately the nurses sighted me, they led me to the ward, without asking me any questions.

Of course they can't. I would f**king blow their heads off.

We got to the ward and the doctor walked out just in time, removing his gloves.

"Mr Ramson." He called smiling.

"How is she doc?" I asked ignoring his greetings and looking into the ward through the transparent glass on the door.

"It was a minor scratch on her forehead. She went unconscious due to the shock, you know she is old now. Her health is weak and she shouldn't experience any shock from now. Or else it will affect her heart." He explained and I kept mute looking at mother through the glass.

"Can I see her?" I asked and he nodded.

"Sure. I will be in my office." He said and walked away. The men opened the door and I walked into the ward.

The nurses in there saw me and walked out, leaving only mom and I in the ward.

"Mother." I called and she opened her eyes looking at me. Her head was bandaged.

"Hey son." She said smiling and I sat close to her holding her hand.

"How are you feeling now?" I asked trying not to cry.

"Am fine Ransom, it was just a scratch." She said and I nodded.

"She will pay for what she did." I said and mother tightened her grip on my hand.

"Please don't kill her okay? She was trying to save the pigeon. She must have a good heart. We were too fast." She said and I shook my head.

"Nothing justifies her. She brought you to the hospital, she has to pay." I said in anger.

"Don't kill her. I beg you." She said and I sighed.

"Fine. I won't kill her, but she will suffer it." I said and she looked around.

"Where is she?" She asked.

"I asked my men to take her home." I said and she looked at me sighing.

"Am serious mother. I won't kill her, but I am not promising you that she won't suffer for it." I said and I shook her head.

"You are so troublesome." She said and I looked away.

"You should be able to go home, since it's a scratch." I said standing up.

"The doctor told me I can go home anytime." She said and I smiled.

"That's good news. We would go home right away." I said and she nodded. As she did I guess she felt pain in my head and she winced.

"Are you okay?" I asked fearfully.

"Yes I am. Just a slight pain." She said and I grew more angry. This girl will surly pay. She will regret this.

BEYONCE

The car came to an halt and I looked out of the window, trying to see where we were. "Bring her." I heard one of them say. "Where are you taking me!" I yelled in tears. I'm so done. The man that sat next to me grabbed me by the hand and led me out of the car dragging me. "You are hurting me! Don't you know how to treat a lady?" I asked in anger and they bursted into laughter. "Why not ask our boss when he comes, if he won't slit your f**king throat." They said and I kept mute swallowing hard. I can't believe I got myself into such a huge mess the first day I decided to live on my own. I looked up and in front of me was a very large mansion. When I saw Large, I mean a really very large mansion. "Wow." I said not knowing when it escaped from my mouth. They led me into the gates, this time I didn't have the strength to struggle with them. I mean, I was lost in the beauty of the mansion. "Do Ramson own this?" I asked not talking to anyone in particular. "How dare you call him by name!" They yelled making me flinch. "So what do I call him?" I asked as they dragged me to the main door. "You have no right to call him anything. Just shut up." One said and I nodded keeping shut. The main door opened and they led me into the house. "Woah." I said as I looked at the living room which looked like Heaven. The ceiling was far above and a very beautiful chandelier dropped down having such glittering colors. "Where does she stay?" One asked the other. "I don't know. Boss didn't mention. She stays here still he is back." He replied as they left me. I began to walk around the living room looking at it well. "Don't touch anything. We are still here." They roared. "Won't you offer me a seat at least?" I asked in a sweet voice. "No. You stand till the boss has arrived." They said looking at me and I nodded sadly. At least I will get killed in a beautiful mansion. It's better than dying on the streets. After some minutes of standing, by legs began to hurt and I really needed to sit. I looked at the men that followed me in and I saw they weren't looking tired at all. "Can't I at least sit on the floor?" I asked and their deadly look shut me up immediately. I sighed feeling so tired and I felt tears roll down my eyes. I heard the noises of car entering the compound and my heart began to beat fast. "The boss is here." They said and grabbed me by the hand to themselves. This is death time. I really wanted to see this Ramson well. At the market,I couldn't see his face properly. I was too scared to notice his face. The door opened and a man walked in. I looked at at his face and I got lost. Like wtf! Why would he be so handsome and kill people with ease. He was so so cute and I couldn't take my eyes off him. He had such a great stature, black shinning hair, a very beautiful skin. And then as he approached me,I noticed his small cute lips and narrow nose. "Don't you think it's time you looked away?" He asked as I realized he was right in front of me. I kept mute bowing my head. As i remembered the death of Ma'am Tonia, anger arose in me. But what can I do? I am helpless! I don't know no one, absolutely no one here. I am on my own. I was still in the middle of my thoughts when I heard and saw him cork his gun, and my heart stopped for some few minutes. "Your last words." He said pointing the gun to my forehead and I began to shiver. I summoned courage and then spoke up. "Why did you kill Tonia when you knew you would kill me? I told you to let her be, kill be instead, but you did the opposite." I said in tears. "One minute more." He said adjusting his handling on the gun. "I wish your deeds doesn't led you and your mother where you don't want." I said and shut my eyes very tight. I felt him press the mouth of the gun on my head and my heart nearly stopped. I was prepared to hear a sound and then that's it. I waited for the bullet but I heard nothing. I opened my eyes and I saw him staring at me. "You should thank mother for saving your life. Though she didn't save you from my punishments." He said withdrawing his gun. To me the punishment sounded like more pain than death, I really wanted him to kill me. Don't want any punishments from him. "Why not kill me and save yourself the stress?" I asked and he looked at his men. "Lock her up on the third floor, the last room. After that, you call the maids to do their job." He said and walked up the stairs. "The maids to do what?! What job?" I asked the men that held me and led me up the stairs but they altered no word. We got to the top and I saw some ladies and women walking all around. They looked like maids, cos they had the same uniforms on. They were pretty many in number. "How come he has so many of them? Don't they have parents? Or better works to do?" I thought and I saw that they looked at me and shook their heads in pity. "Another machine." They whispered to my hearing and I looked at them not knowing what they meant. "Hold on. What do they mean by "another machine?" I asked the men, but Instead of answering me, they kept their straight ugly faces up. I guess we got to the room Ramson described, cos we all stopped and they reached for the door. They opened it and pushed me into the room. I almost fell but I gained my balance rapidly. I looked up and I saw the room was very beautiful. It had a very large bed in it. It was painted in blue, and had other amazing furnitures, like the drawer, the mirror, they were made of shinning stuffs. It wasn't ugly as I thought it would be. I mean, where they keep people meant for punishments shouldn't be as beautiful as this. They threw me on the bed and I felt great comfort as I landed on it. "Wow. The bed is damn comfortable." I thought not knowing when the took my hand and began to handcuff me to the bed. "Hey, this would hurt me." I said as they did. "It isn't meant to make you happy." One said. I tried struggling but I only hurt myself as I did. They handcuffed my hands and legs and walked out of the room. I breathed hard looking around the room again, then to my handcuffed hands. After few minutes, some ladies came in looking sad. But one was smiling at me, I guess she would be someone I can talk to. "Loose her." One said and they reached for my hands and legs, they began to release me. "Thank you." I said and she smirked. "We aren't here to save you. No one can save you here, so just act cool." She said and I nodded keeping mute. They made me stand and reached for my blouse. "Wait! What are you doing?" I asked in shock. "To give you a bath." They said. "I can take a bath myself. I don't need multitudes okay?" I said and they laughed except the lady that kept smiling at me. "We all said the same thing when we go here. Strip her and get her into the bathroom." The lady I supposed was the leader said. "Wait. I won't struggle with you. I guess you have been in my shoes before, trust me I will do anything. I will strip myself and take my bath. If you think I will try anything, you can leave someone with me." "You can take a break. I will do just fine with one of you here. And the boss won't know about this." I said hoping they would listen to me. "I! I will stay with her." The lady who kept smiling said and I felt so happy she was the volunteer. "Fine. Everyone out of the room. Mary I give you ten minutes to be done with her." The woman said and she nodded. They all walked out of the room and I sighed dropping my hand from my chest. "You look beautiful." She said and I smiled faintly. "Thanks." I replied faintly hoping she wasn't nice to me because she wanted something or had a plan.
