Springs of fire - Season 1 - Episode 4

It seems somebody is in love.’ Lily winked at her brother.

She’d watched his whole face the entire time he made the call. She had never seen her brother being so excited about a woman.
‘Don’t put a label on it yet. I don’t even know if she is the one.’ Gavin replied.

He had gone to that bar to find someone, but he had left ten minutes after because of the urgent call he received from a member. The Holy Spirit had not yet revealed who his destiny was.

But one thing was for sure, he liked Ore. He loved her meek and kind spirit. She was very beautiful too.

He loved how radiant her dark skin was. It was smooth and flawless. Her hair flowed to her back and it was natural. Her brown eyes were pools of serenity, welcoming and trusting. Ore was not just a dove, she was a beautiful one.

‘Tell me a little about her.’ Lily was curious.
‘Well, her name is Ore Martins. She teaches in a High School. She is born again. Humble and caring. She is a black beauty.’ He replied.

Gavin noticed a slight change in his sister, her smile faded, her brows wrinkled and deep frown settled over her features.

‘Are you alright?’ He watched her closely.
‘Not really, there was this girl in my Secondary school, her name was Ore Martins.’ Lily returned.
‘And?’ Gavin raised a brow.
‘She had a mental problem. From the stories I heard, she was into prostitution and drug addiction. Most of the girls didn’t mix with her.’ Lily said.

Gavin felt bad for the person his sister had just told him about, but he was quite sure that was not his Ore.

‘Too bad, this Ore is different.’ He shook his head.

‘I hope so.’ She replied.

‘There’s someone I’d love for you to meet. The applicant that I told you about. I like her already; she is quiet and knows her place. I just want you to take a look, maybe ask her a few questions.’ Lily needed her brother’s approval before employing the lady.
‘Nice, send her in.’ Gavin affirmed with a nod.
‘You may go in.’ The receptionist motioned her to the door just as she dropped her phone.
‘Thanks.’ Julia smiled at the young woman.
She couldn’t believe it would be this easy to gain access to such a huge empire. Her heart raced as she grabbed the door knob, she always felt this blood lust, this excitement whenever she was about to meet her prey for the first time.

She pushed open the door and stepped inside.
‘Good morning Sir.’ She bowed her head politely as she spotted the man she was to eliminate in fourteen days.

One word, “hot.” Julia felt pity that such a handsome man would go to waste. He was tall. Caramel skinned. Jet black eyes, and curly hair. He welcomed her with a smile that would’ve melted her heart if she were into men. Too bad she wasn’t.

‘Welcome Irene, I hope you don’t mind me using your first name?’ Gabriel rose to his feet to receive her.
‘No problem sir. Thank you.’ She took his hands.

‘My sister Lily has told me much about you. She thinks you are very good and suitable for the job.’ His hands were still bound to hers in a handshake.

‘Yes.’ Irene smiled, trying her best to win his attention.

She knew deep down, that it wouldn’t be easy assassinating a man like Gavin Adediran and this was the reason she had been given two weeks.

Irene was a fair complexioned lady. She had light brown eyes and full red lips. But there was something about her; Gavin couldn’t place a finger on it. Her eyes reminded him of Ore, but he quickly pushed the thoughts aside.

Julia could feel Gavin’s eyes boring into her, did he like her? Was she attracted to her? She hoped he was, that would be the fastest way to eliminate him.

He was still looking into her eyes when a vision flashed right before him.

Gavin was immediately transported to another realm. He found a man on a hill, dressed in black clothes.

‘I know you are Gavin Adediran.’ The man bellowed at him from the top of the hill.
‘Who are you and why are you there?’ Gavin asked.

‘My name is Paul.’ The strange man replied.

Then he began to laugh, a wicked gleam filled his eyes, before Gavin could respond the vision faded.

‘So do you have any experience at this kind of work?’ He asked Irene.

Though he looked composed, the strange vision troubled his mind. Was Paul a demon? Was he human?

Who was Paul and what did he want with him?
The Island of Carida…
Delilah was not happy with the way Julia left her, she suspected that her partner was cheating on her, but she was not too sure. She decided to pay her parents a visit for the few days Julia was out of town.

She came from one of the wealthiest families in the Island. Her family had a goldmine, so they would never be poor. They were very religious people, this was the reason she had not opened up about her sexual orientation.

Delilah was bisexual. She was attracted to both men and women, though she had fallen for Julia. If her family ever got to know about her dark side, they would be so disappointed.
‘Welcome home mistress.’ One of the maids greeted as she brought her convertible to a halt.
‘Harra, how are you?’ She winked at the girl.
‘Fine thank you madam.’ Harra replied.
‘Where’s everyone? The compound seems empty.’ Delilah noticed how quiet the place was.
‘Um, a visitor came, an important one.’ Harra informed Delilah of an unfamiliar person who’d been openly welcomed by her parents.
‘Okay, get my stuff from the boot, see you later.’ Delilah walked briskly towards the mansion, wondering what her parents were up to.

She found them laughing and dining with a middle aged woman who was very beautiful. She had never seen this woman before.

Delilah took a deep breath and stepped out of the shadows, into the fluorescent.
‘Good evening everyone.’ She announced her presence.
‘Darling! I was about to call you, how have you been?’ Her mother rose to welcome her.
‘Jesus has been faithful mother. He has been with me this whole time.’ Delilah did a little acting, if her parents knew she was no longer religious they’d really be unhappy with her and she didn’t want that.
‘Praise God!’ her father waved his hands.
‘Meet our guest, Mrs. Adediran, all the way from Dania Republic.’ Her mother pushed her gently towards the woman.
‘Hello Delilah’ Mrs. Adediran was very sure she had found the perfect wife for Gavin, her son.
