THE SURPRISE 2. THE STORY CONTINUES...

Well, Krestal was prosecuted and went to jail. 

Alero steadfastly testified against him in the court. Other girls he had humiliated and either quietly bore the shame or were denied of justice due to Krestal's ability to buy his way out of justice were brought in by the prosecution to also testify against him. The FBI was determined to send him to jail for a very long time. Some of Krestal's rough friends wanted to scare the witnesses away with threats, intimidation and various attacks; but the FBI rounded them up and also sent them to jail. All the witnesses were placed on constant surveillance for their protection. Non was hurt in any way. Non of the rough guys went near Alero to disturb her, since they now knew she was a tough one and could take care of herself. 

Alero's explanation to her colleagues at work, neighbours, Lisa and other friends was that she learnt martial art for self defence only in a martial arts school near her home while she was also in the University studying accountancy. All these was true. What no one knew was that the FBI owned the school. Alero gained admission into the university at the age of 22 and also registered at the martial arts school for evening, weekend and holiday training. She graduated from school at the age of 26 with first class in accountancy, proceeded to her masters degree programme which she finished at the age of 28. She completed her martial arts training at the age of 29. Her present job at the engineering firm was her first employment. She explained she hid her martial arts prowess from people so that they will not be afraid of her. Everybody accepted her explanation and were happy for her. She continued working for a while at the company, but later resigned to set up a private security outfit, collecting security contracts from the Police, intelligence agencies, government and other private bodies. She often travel for brief holidays running into days and weeks and then return for a short rest. Her security outfit did well. She married an easy going banker who did not interfere in her work or lifestyle. 

She and Lisa remained close even after Alero left the job. Lisa continued working at the engineering firm. Lisa did more courses in engineering, specialising in surveillance gadgets and indoor security technology. She rose to managerial level at the company. She was happily married to a school teacher. 

Well, Krestal's sisters and their husbands fought hard to keep Krestal out of jail. They got him a good lawyer and paid, but the case weighed heavily against Krestal and he got a ten years jail time. The Police also succeeded in placing his bank accounts under freeze, claiming ongoing investigation into his financial dealings. His sisters kept financing his stay in jail until he was released. He had no one else to turn to. Their husbands and in-laws visited him too with clothes, gifts and other prison needs. 

Krestal left jail after ten years, a hardened man, now wiser in the art of staying safe. He vowed revenge on all women, but didn't let it out of his mouth. No one knew his plan. His accounts were unfrozen since he was not involved in any illicit business. All his money was inheritance. The Police had no case against him. He immediately took charge of his money again, visited his sisters and in-laws in appreciation of all they did for him while in prison and left town for another state where he was relatively unknown. He arrived at an hotel where he lodged. His target, Lisa's younger sister just graduating from school. 

While in jail, he mingled with other criminals and heard things. He stumbled on information about Lisa's family. He was no more interested in Alero, best to stay away from that one. He will revenge, sure. Lisa will be punished for Alero's sin. Alero and Lisa are still close, too risky to go near Lisa. He will go for someone close to Lisa. He heard she has a younger sister, the youngest in their family. Lisa was the first born. Her two immediate younger ones were men, he had no interest in them. The last one in the family was a female. Margaret by name. 25yrs of age. A very disciplined and moral girl, still a virgin. He got all the information he wanted about her in jail. Different men had tried dating her to no avail. He determined to defile her without force or hurting her. It will be done in such a way that the law will have no case against him. No rape, no assault. He will be nice to her, make her like him, have his way with her, impregnate her and then walk away. Lisa and Alero will be brought to shame. He was overjoyed when he heard she was schooling far away in another state far from the state where Lisa lived with her husband and was about to graduate. By the time Lisa will hear, it will be too late. He is now settled in the state where Margaret lived and ready to strike. 

Krestal repackaged himself. He bought neat and corporate clothes, rented an apartment and furnished it. He set up a car sales shop. 

He bought a few cars for sale and employed a sales man. He set up his private office and made it very corporate looking. He resumes 8am closed 6pm each week day. He also started attending Church, the same Church Margaret attends. They met in Church and she fell for him. He was very gentlemanly and never moved to touch her. Church members liked him. He was always eager to help them. She visited his office and liked what she saw, a bachelor with vision. He shared his vision to expand his business and take very good care of his family when he eventually get married. He stayed away from every other woman except Margaret. Margaret was staying alone in a room she rented as a student living off campus. She just graduated and was still thinking of her next move in life. She planned to travel home to see her siblings who just send her money for upkeep and were not near her. They were all in different states far from her. Their parents were late. Krestal asked her to delay her travel for a while so they can get to know each other better before she goes to break the news to her siblings. Margaret agreed. 

They became close and were always seen together. Krestal brought her gifts occasionally and never asked for anything in return.  Three months passed and he still made no move to touch her. Margaret trusted him. Having secured her trust, he then planned his next move; impregnate her and then walk away. He told her he wants to introduce her to his sisters so she will know he means well for her and plans to marry her as soon as she has informed her own family. It will be wise for her to meet his own family first before telling her own people. She agreed and they fixed a date for the trip. Yes, he will take her on the journey to another country not far from theirs where one of his sisters live with her family. They will arrive late at night according to his plan, lodge in an hotel to rest till the following morning. He will make his move in the night. 

Everything was going according to plan. He was happy. The trip was a week away. While in his office, a pretty young woman, in her 30s, walked in, obviously rich, and wanted to buy a car. 

He, with his sales man, attended to her. She asked to seat for a while to make an important phone call and he led her to his office. While making her call, she started flirting with him and his hormones began to respond. He remembered his days of womanising. It has been a while, he should refresh his body. He will make it a secret Margaret will never know. She promised to buy a car, but she will pay in cash. She asked he sends his sales man to come pick the money at her hotel room the following evening. She will then later come pick the car after payment. Krestal didn't want to miss this chance. He offered to personally come with the car the following day and deliver the car and also collect the money. She agreed. The following day, they met at her hotel. The deal went well. She paid and got the car. She offered him a drink and he drank. One thing led to another and he slept there overnight. That was his first sexual encounter after leaving prison. 

The lady never called again. She simply vanished after that night. He also simply forgot about her. Margaret was his target. He had sold his car, made some money and also slept with her. Not a bad deal, not at all.  The day of the trip came, Krestal and Margaret travelled as planned. They arrived at night and lodged at an hotel with Krestal offering to get another room for Margaret on credit while he runs around to get enough money to pay for the extra room for her since the money on him could not pay for two separate rooms for both of them. It was a lie to win her sympathy and trust. Margaret was touched and told him not to bother, she will stay in the same room with him. He offered to sleep on the couch while she sleep on the bed. She agreed. Well, night will come and he will lovingly start caressing her and then impregnate her. He was happy. They secured a room and proceeded to move in.  They unlocked the door, opened it and walked in with their luggage. They switched on the light. They received the greatest shock of their lives thus far.... 

Alero and Lisa were waiting for them in the room. Margaret screamed "sister, what ! How...." as she ran to hug her. Krestal moved to turn and run, but Alero was faster, she tackled him and gave him a dirty slap. 

He made to fight back, but she easily restrained him. A few hand moves from Alero and his limbs refused to respond to all attempts to move. He lay on the floor. Margaret was all the while shouting, "leave him, what is this, why....", but Lisa restrained her from intervening. "Margaret, listen, he is not who he says he is. A friend of ours passed here some weeks ago and saw both of you together. She told me. I Called my friend Alero here and we sprang into action. We have been monitoring both of you since. He is here on a revenge mission...". Krestal, on the floor began to shout, " Don't listen to her, I don't know her, she is lying...", Alero kicked his mouth and he kept quiet. "Leave him alone" Margaret  pleaded. Lisa still held her back. Lisa continued. "We have all your dates and discussion on recordings, I specialise in such things. We knew you were coming here and we know why. That is why we are here, to stop him before he destroys you. He just came out of prison after serving ten years for sexual assault cases; my friend here, one of his last attempts. She sent him to jail. He decided to revenge on us by coming after you." Lisa opened her mouth in disbelief, her eyes wide open, she tried talking, but no words would come. Alero took over. She opened a bag on the table, brought  out some pictures and showed Margaret Krestal's trial pictures and prison pictures. She opened her phone and showed her his trial videos. Margaret took them, looked at them and began to cry. Lisa started talking, "to let you know he has not repented, watch this". She let go of Margaret and reached for a laptop on the table. She opened it, pressed play and Margaret began to watch Krestal's sexual escapades in the hotel with the pretty young woman who just bought a car from him. Lisa stopped crying and began to curse Krestal. Krestal started shouting "so you sent her to trap me....". "Yes, I did to expose you. She was my agent" Alero responded. Lisa continued talking, "my dear sister, as from henceforth, always consult me before you let a man into your life. He brought you here to defile you. He has more than enough money to pay for ten rooms. He lied to you. He was never going to marry you, that was why he ensured you never told us about him." Alero took over, "I used my security connections to arrange with the hotel manager to allow us wait for you both in the room so as to rescue you. Your sister truly loves you."

Alero, Lisa and Margaret left Krestal on the floor in the room after warning him to steer clear of them and their people or else....They also warned him not to attempt to hurt the hotel or the manager lest he returns to jail for the rest of his life. The hotel staff have been briefed and will not hesitate to beat him up if he tries anything funny. Lisa immediately relocated his sister to their family home and kept watch over her.
