DEDICATION

Today's leaders have backtracked taking us back to medieval times. The whole system has gone bonkers relying on digital-man-made-agents to function properly. We still spend $trillions globally making weapons. Sometimes war is the answer. A new beginning. Destruction of the things we don't need; weapons. Ladies and gentlemen above all, this gives me the President the chance to play God and eliminate all evil once and for all. Uphold the rule of the law. Surely you don’t want to be on my To-do-list, or you will feel the full force of Directive 17.

CHAPTER ONE

One bright afternoon a door of one of the houses suddenly opened and a tall beautiful lady walked out toward a car parked outside a huge mansion. She stopped outside the mansion next to the car. She instantly opened the car door and stopped and looked at the top bedroom window. Instantly a man flipped open the curtain and looked on talking on the phone.

I love you.

I know darling.

The woman entered the car leaving the door opened.

I have to go darling see you later.

Karolina. I love you very much. I just don’t know what I would do without you, my love.

I know darling see you soon...

I know that’s all you have to say?

What do you want me to say?

How about I love you too?

Words can’t come easy to some of us. It’s obvious I love you too darling.

I know but it’s nice to hear the words from you.

Can we talk when I get back?

Sure. I am just saying that one day you will come back and find me gone.

The woman stopped and threw a quick glance at the bedroom window.

Where would you go?

I just can’t understand that if I love you this much why you don’t show me the same love.

I have to go. Can we talk when I get back? I understand what you are saying, darling. I just have been busy of late.

The man lowered down the hand holding the cell phone and looked through the window.

A huge white Volvo executive class car pulled out of the driveway and into the road and silently disappeared up the highway. The woman looked in the rear-view mirror before the ringing of the phone startled her.

Yes. Karo speaking. How can I help you?

After a while, the car turned into a side road before pulling up on the roadside outside a house. She wore her sunglasses and stood just by her car. Momentarily another elegant woman smartly dressed came out of the house.

Right on time! she shouted.

Big day we can’t afford to fuck up. Everything should be as smooth as planned.

Nothing to worry about it should be okay. Karo.

Soon afterward the two women’s car headed out of the suburbs.

What’s that teenager-smile on your face?

Karolina smiled even further and threw a quick glance at Californika.

Jonathan?

I don’t know why he is acting like a teenager in love.

What happened?

He has been very emotional lately.

There was a moment of silence. All they could hear in the background was the song; Seductive Handsome Man by Carolinadeivid.

It began on a lovely Saturday evening.

He was handsome and the most Seductive Man that night.

He was my lover to be, I knew it then and there. My Seductive handsome man. My Man.

…...That’s how it happened:

Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

I ogled a Seductive Man.

Feeling insecure?

I don’t think so. I think he is feeling unloved lately. Honestly, I can’t blame him. I have been very busy lately. I am pushing very hard to make everything go according to plan. It’s not easy you know.

Maybe he needs some TLC’s.

He is saying that I am taking him for granted and that one day he might leave me.

Californika looked at Karolina briefly before looking outside the window.

Leaving you? I thought you had something going on between you.

He doesn’t feel my love nowadays, and he thinks that I am lucky to have him. Just this morning, he said that I am taking him for granted.

Do men really show that kind of love? Mine can’t be asked every time I raise the subject. He is like, off course I love you that’s why I am still with you.

I must confess Jonathan has been showing some real love toward me it’s only that I was too busy to take notice.

The background song can be heard as silence broke out.

Last summer I kissed a seductive man

Still, he is in my thoughts.........

The car approached the city. A few minutes later it stopped outside one of the main buildings in the city. The women got out and entered the building. A lot of people were in the reception talking.

Excited?

Not really. It could have been better if we owned this.

You are never satisfied. Are you?

It’s not that. If this new shop was mine, then I would be very happy.

We are getting paid that’s what matters to me.

I am just saying that maybe it’s time we go it alone.

Californika stopped and looked at Karolina.

It’s not easy you know. Do you know how many have failed? How many have blown away all their life-savings with no returns at all?

I am not all those people. I might strike it big.

Or regret it. I think it is still too early to start thinking about all that. You will need a strong partner. Someone who understands and knows about these things.

I am looking at one right now.

Californika walked away for a while. She stopped and looked at Karolina. She smiled for a while.

That’s flattering but you know Tom is after a vacation house in Spain. This business thing is out of the question.

Instantly the lift doors suddenly opened. A man smartly dressed up in a white suit and a blue tie came out. He smiled before rubbing his hands together.

Can I have your attention! This is the time you have been waiting for! Are you all excited?

The people replied but not loud enough.

Are you hungry or what? he asked.

A huge buzz sound filled the reception.

Follow me if you can please!

The crowd followed him. In the building and across the reception on the other side were two big doors. A ribbon was across the doors. Karolina felt confident inside but looked a bit nervous. As soon as the regional director appeared out of the lifts, she hurried toward the door.

Ladies and gentlemen. The regional director Mr. Karl and the head of this store Mrs. Karolina!

A huge applause and jubilation filled the hall.

Months later.

An executive Mercedes Benz rolled out of the mansion's yard and slowly into the road. Karolina looked nervous as she looked everywhere first. The look on her face said it all. Fear. Yes, fear of some kind. The car turned into the main road and disappeared around a corner. She looked in the rear-view mirror and everywhere. She looked at the passenger seat and pulled her bag close to herself quickly looking ahead in the road. She opened the bag while focusing ahead and quickly took out a gun. She stared at the gun for a split second. She placed the gun on the passenger seat. The screeching of the car tires sends her panicking. She looked in the rear-view mirror before she sped off. The chase. She looked at the car behind her. She cursed. Fear and panic sat in. She then abruptly pressed on the brakes and stopped the car beside the road. She grabbed her gun and pushed the door open. Breathing heavily, she stared at the car coming her way. The car driver instantly harsh brakes skidding before coming to a halt just before hers. Inside was an unrecognizable Jonathan. He looked worried and heartbroken of some sort. Karolina didn’t even notice how he got out of his car so fast. She only saw him coming toward her, fast with a face casting a lot of emotional pain and confusion.

Stop there Jonathan! I have a gun!

Jonathan walked fast toward her as if he didn’t hear a word she said.

Jonathan! Stop there! I have a gun.

She raised the gun and aimed at Jonathan.

That’s right! It’s loaded, she cocked up the gun.

That made Jonathan instantly stop for a while.

What? Shoot me for what? I love you, Karolina.

No, you don’t. We talked about this remember.

I love you, Karolina.

Jonathan doesn’t upset me. Don’t start. You don’t walk away from the people you love. Okay?

Jonathan looked down for a split second. He touched his heart and stretched his hand.

Come my darling. You know I used to love you.

Exactly! Used to. I moved on you do the same. Okay?

I mean I love you.

Do you really Jonathan? Search your heart do you have love for me? Do you Jonathan!

She shouted leaning toward Jonathan.

He murmured something with a troubled face and looked at Karolina.

I loved you with all my heart. I just don’t know why I can’t feel the love I had for you.

You are heartbroken. Your heart has no love whatsoever for me. I might start to believe that you never loved me. If you loved me, you could not have walked away from me.

I honestly don’t know what happened.

I know! Let me help you explain. You lost your love for me. It happens Jonathan no big deal but don’t come and rub it on my face. I have moved on. Move on with your life.

Karolina! I love you. I mean I loved you.

Oh my God! I know you told me so many times. Move on. For the good times, we had please move on. You lost your love for me a long time ago. Even then when we were together. Remember threatening to walk away? Exactly what you ended up doing. No big deal. I only get upset that even now you admit you don’t have love for me, yet you keep on nagging me. What do you want from me, Jonathan?

Jonathan looked at Karolina and sauntered toward her. She lowered the gun and dropped it to the ground and started sobbing.

Oh, Jonathan what is going on with you? You are confusing me now. What do you want?

Jonathan silently hugged Karolina, and the two stood there for a while before getting into Karolina’s car. The cars parked there for some time before Jonathan jumped into his car and sped off.

Months later one sunny beautiful day a lot of people had gathered outside a huge store in the city. A large crowd had gathered outside to witness the opening of a new shop. The usher appeared as the door opened. He walked toward Karolina and poured some champagne. She took the glass and smiled before looking at the people in the crowd. She raised the glass and smiled further. Californika and Tom appeared from one corner.

Congratulations Karo you made it. I am proud of you. I never thought you can do this on your own?

Thanks, Cali. If it wasn’t for you and my new man, there... She looked on the other side and raised the champagne glass.

I probably could not have made it.

A lot of effort and money had gone into this project.

Imagine how things turned out in the end. The separation was somehow a blessing. I ended up with a new store of my own. If I was still with Jonathan, I might not be standing here today celebrating with you my friend.

So how is he any news?

Last time I saw him he was heartbroken, confused and suicidal. Even now I can’t understand it. You don’t walk away from love and become heartbroken yourself.

They all laughed.

Are you sure he was not taking any drugs? That’s not human behavior. What did he say about all this?

Stolen heart. Someone stole his love. Speaking of which....

She looked in the other direction and saw Nick coming toward her. A handsome strong man with short yet volumized hair, dimples, a million-dollar smile, and oozing charm.

Yeah, I can see why after dumping you Jonathan now feels that someone stole his love. Where did you find this guy?

Jonathan is very funny. He said that someone literally stole his love for Karolina.

Quipped Californika looking at her partner before all eyes were on Nick.

Ooh, my darling. You look fabulous. I am lucky to have you. What did I do to deserve such a beautiful and successful lady, my true love?

Californika and Tom looked at each other and nodded in admiration.

I am proud of you darling. Not many would go through what you went through. I admire that in you. In fact, that’s one of the hundred reasons why my knees melt at the thought of you. Cali and my best friend-to-be Tom. I am one lucky guy because of this beautiful woman here.

He opened his arms and hugged Karolina before the couple started kissing.

Instantly everyone started clapping hands and applauding. He took center stage soon afterward.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have been to many places and met new people. All kinds of people but I have never met such a loving and ambitious lady like my lady, Karo. That first day I met her, I knew it straight away that we will be a successful couple one day and today is just the beginning. Ladies and gentlemen. Ms. Karolina. The owner of this new shop. Best wishes to us too.

He started clapping hands and the whole crowd joined in. One strong breath and the stage was hers.

It took a lot to be here today ladies and gentlemen, but I tell you this, it was worth it. How funny life can be. I lost my love but got an even better man in Nick. A man who shares the same dreams as me. A visionary and successful businessman. My business partner and my love....

He stole my love! He is nothing but a thief. A love-thief if you ask me. A heart-thief. That’s my love. shouted Jonathan within the crowd pointing at Nick first and then at Karolina. Some people in the crowd started laughing, but the others looked at Jonathan surprised.

Yes, you heard me. He is nothing but a love-thief. He stole my love, my Karolina from me.

He looked down as if to cry.

What are you doing here? You are not invited, Jonathan.

Shouted Californika.

Jonathan staggered ahead as the crowd opened the way for him.

Oh no! You are drunk again! You heard Cali; you were not invited nor are you welcome Jonathan.

He stopped and looked at Karolina.

You can’t say that. I.I. I. used to love you. I mean I love you.

He stopped and wore a frown face.

I just can’t understand why I don’t feel all that love I had for you.

He raised his face and looked at Nick.

Don’t look at me mate. I can’t help with that. You can’t walk away from love and expect to walk back in and find everything the way things were. She is mine now. My love now. Okay?

Jonathan kept silent. He threw a quick glance at Nick
