Adam sat on his daughter's bed and watched her doze off with her head on his thighs as he ran his fingers through the roots of her hair. He had just finished feeding her her food and administering the right dosage of her herbs and she fell asleep almost immediately,He had decided to stay home with her for the rest of the day to take good care of her. He had noticed that she was traumatised and she was still scared of being attacked and taken away so he had to be around her and reassure her that she was safe now.He stared at her and noticed how much she looked like him and how she clenched her fists just like his whenever he was angry.His phone vibrated in his pockets and that interrupted his thoughts, he quickly reached out for it to turn it down so it didn't wake Ariel up, looked at it and noticed it was Leila.He grabbed Ariel’s pillow and placed her head on it slowly so she wouldn't wake up. He placed a kiss on her forehead and stepped out of the room, shutting the door silently

Cecil sat at the back of the van and watched as the men threw Leila into the truck, staring with a high chin and a smirk on her, the hatred clear in her eyes. She was ready to deal with Leila and end the madness.“Well, see who we have here.”She exclaimed snidely and with mockery, kicking Leila's almost lifeless body that was laid in front of her,“Oohh, the princess can't speak” she continually mocked and let out a loud laugh, Cecil was enjoying the moment more than necessary.With a smile on her face, she picked up the phone to call Louisa and inform her of the latest update, Louisa immediately answered the call, and Cecil wasted no time in informing her,“She has been captured.” She announced with a face beaming and a puffed-out chest,At the other end, Louisa was equally sporting a beaming smile,“Wow! Mother, that was fast,” Louisa exclaimed,“That’s what happens when you trust your mother to get the job done,” Cecil replied with her shoulders thrust back,“Your mother always g

They got out of the van and Cecil followed Logan right behind him as he led them into the woods, trying to locate their hideouts by the border.“Hope we get there soon,” Cecil said breathlessly, While walking, they were still being careful and being on the lookout for the men who had nearly attacked them and were relieved to see that they had lost track of them. “Mother.” Logan called out to Cecil.“We’d bury her body here when we're done with her.” He said pointing at a corner by the border, “That way, they would not be able to trace or find her body.” He added as he continued to move down the sloppy roads that led to the hideouts.“Smart boy,” Cecil responded, with a nod and a smirk. After what seemed like a marathon walk, they finally got to the hideout. The place looked like an abattoir but was for the sale of human parts as there was blood all around and all over the place.Cecil’s breath rasped as she clutched her arms tightly, she looked around and found what seemed like

Cecil and her son rummaged through the woods and found their way to the border bank, they had almost lost their breath and were thirsty and dehydrated. They had been running for hours and had finally come to a stop and tried to catch their breath.They got to a spot and sat down to get some rest.“What do we do now?” Logan asked his mother while trying to catch his breath, bending over and heaving,“They are going to come after me.” He added fearfully as his voice cracked.“Relax, son.” Cecil said, patting his back while her brain churned,“What is important right now is how we can get out of here.” She replied, trying to calm him down.“They might not even survive the wrath of Adam.” She added and winced at the thought of what the bastard could do.“He might have killed them all and wiped them all out.” She said with a mischievous smile as she continued to try and convince him.“What if he doesn’t?” He retorted and shrugged his mother’s hands off his shoulders.“What if they snitch

“How dare you?” Joan thundered at her sister.“You are with that loser of a lover?” She blasted her sister.“You left me hanging here to meet that man,” Joan asked fuming through the phone,“Listen to me Joan…let me explain.” Leila stammered amidst her sister’s anger.“What the hell do you have to explain?” Joan continued roaring at her sister.“You didn’t even think of Dad,” Joan said with a hurtful tone.“You didn’t think of your father, who has been in a coma all this while. You left us and ran into that man’s arms once again, now when your family needs you the most.” Joan said.Leila sat there, still as an igloo, listening to her sister’s words. She felt those words pierce through the skin of her chest right into the depths of her heart. Her warm tears dripped down her cheeks as her sister continued to spew out her hurtful words,“That's why your cock and bull story was inconsistent.” Joan continued to blast Leila who had her face covered with her palm,“You were kidnapped? And a
