“What are you talking about Vanessa? We are not hearing anything. It's probably just in your mind.”Vanessa froze, her hands poised in mid-air as she tried to a better idea of where the sound was coming from, her face a mask of alertness and caution.But the strange sound soon wore out and she heard nothing again. “Oh, perhaps it's nothing anyway. I thought I heard something,” she said.Koffi and Djene’s face were contorted with a smirk.“Try to get some rest okay? You probably need a little bit of rest and that is why you are hearing strange things. It happens sometimes,” Djene spoke, his voice tinged with a piece of mockery.Djene and Koffi, who were stunned by the news about what Paul did to the Kazitanis agents kept them talking quietly to each other.“I can only wish that when we finally get Paul Leonard in our custody, I will be there when he gets to be tortured. I can't wait to see that happen and if I can participate in the torturing, that would be even much more blissful,” Ko

Vanessa knew that she was in deep trouble. Her stomach was twisting in knots as she tried to contain the extent of danger that she was. If only there was a way that she could call her bosses and tell them to send agents to her rescue. But her hands were completely tied. She had to refrain from the dangerous act that she was going to do. But was she going to surrender just like that? Miriam wasn't going to pity her because she could tell that she was still very hurt by what happened with Dexter.“If you want to kill me, you can just go ahead and do it,” Vanessa spoke, her voice strong and steady despite the fear that coursed through her veins. Her eyes were flashing with determination. “I know this is about Dexter. You still haven’t healed from his death. But come to think of it, there are a lot of things that you have also not healed from.”Vanessa was referring to the death of Miriam’s parents but she had still not developed the full courage to say it out loud.“You know, Dexter’s d

Arggghhh! Eeek! Vanessa screamed in pain as she lost a slight grip on Rosette which she quickly took advantage of as she fled away from Vanessa in a sudden motion. Pow!Miriam immediately noticed that Vanessa had been exposed and with her body bracing against the recoil of her gun, she fired a decisive shot on her legs, rendering her crumbling to the ground.Vanessa’s knees were broken by the force of the bullet and she was rendered paralyzed from her knee down to her foot.Miriam then took long strides towards where Vanessa was writhing in pain.“I thought you were running your mouth so vigorously not long ago. What happened to you now?” Miriam mocked, her lips widened in a smug smile.Vanessa had so much disdain in her heart that she couldn't help but spit at Miriam in rejection, her lips curling with contempt. “To hell with you, Miriam!”Vanessa knew that she had lost the contention with Miriam and she was ready to die. She would rather die than beg Miriam like a coward.Miriam to

Even before Sarah got to the wooden bed where Lady Winston was laid, she could see how tormented she was. Lady Winston’s body trembled greatly as if she were a leaf caught in the wind, her body faint and ragged. Her body was ragged with delicate shudders and her skin was pale. Her eyes were also glassy and the bed handles were shaking with effort.Why didn't they let her know that her condition had deteriorated to this extent? Sarah asked within her mind. She didn't like to see her mother suffer in the way that she was suffering. Is this the kind of horrible death that Paul and Doctor Lopez meant for her? Everyone watched with great focus, their eyes narrowed and their attention riveted on Sarah. Some of the other top employees who held big positions with Winston Corporation were also there to witness what was going to happen with Ladu Winston.Only one question was on their mind - Was Sarah going to be the one who would eventually rescue Lady Winston and save her?It was as if Sara

Sarah shared in Janet’s panic, her eyes wide with terror and her body trembling with confusion. Sarah had her heart in her mouth as she prayed silently for Lady Winston to get back to consciousness. The extreme convulsion was definitely a function of the antidote, she thought.But was it something that was going to get better? She wasn't sure what was going to happen but she hoped that Lady Winston better respond positively. She couldn't even start imagining the way that Frank and even Janet were going to turn on her if she died just after giving her the drug that was meant to be the antidote.“Yes, let’s just be patient. She would get better,” Sarah responded. Her voice was low and uncertain and her body language betrayed her doubt.That was the most unsure response that she had ever given to someone in her life.She started replaying in her mind the moment when she fought with Doctor Lopez. What if the bottle Doctor Lopez showed to her actually wasn't the antidote? What if it was on
