"What is it, Kevin?" Myra moved closer to face him. "Why did your demeanour change all of a sudden?"He let out a short breath, taking her hands into his. "Myra. I want you to take this with an open mind and-"The ping of his phone cut him off. "Excuse me."He reached out for his phone to see another text message from Cynthia.'My plane just touched down at the airport, I'll be taking a cab straight to your place, see you soon, love.'Kevin's gaze turned colder. What the fuck was Cynthia driving at?Why would she want to see him first after landing in the country?After shattering his heart to pieces and all these years of no communication. What exactly does she want from him now?He gripped the phone harder, his knuckles turning white."Kevin, are you okay?" Myra asked again. "Ive never seen you like this-" She was suddenly cut off by the ringing of her phone."It's Amal." Myra whispered, excusing herself to take the call somewhere else.Kevin looked back at his phone, his fingers on
Next morning. Valerisa was woken up by a soft voice calling out her name, she opened her eyes to see Naomie at the door. It's morning already, she must have slept off last night while crying herself out.."Sis we've all been very worried looking for you" Valerisa looked to the door. "what are you doing here?" Valerisa ignored her and tried to get up but couldn't..Naomie rushed to help her, she ducked from her touch. "Valerisa your eyes are swollen and your face is pale, what's wrong?". "Don't tell me you cried through the night".Valerisa kept mute and tried to get up again when Naomie helped her. "What time is it?" Valerisa asked staring at her."It's nine already" Valerisa looked away when she noticed Naomie had black eyes. "We were about to have breakfast when Alicia reported that you weren't in your room". "We all became worried and I decided to look in here".They had gotten to the door. Naomie looked downstairs and shouted "Alicia I've found her" Dad's deep voice came from the
Pablo sipped his drink as he watched Lisa climb up the stairs, she'd been docile ever since he hit her yesterday. Though he didn't miss the deadly glances she sent him occasionally.He grimaced at the name of the casino 'Sculpted'. It was an undercover casino, a hotel to novices. Perfect for secret games. Pablo turned to look around. He winced as pain surged through his head, he fingered the stupid bandage that was placed around his head. Yesterday, he'd bled so much that he passed out.He was sitting at the bar which was quite deserted, everyone was at the dancefloor. It was still 11.30pm. The reason he'd come here was because of this nasty client of theirs: Nathan Corbels. Pablo adjusted his glasses and fake moustache. He'd deliberately avoided the gambling tables, didn't want anyone to recognize him here. Vic was probably still boiling. Pablo smirked. Bloody fool!He took up his phone to check out the message from Braddock.'The police are on the highway, they're searching each
"Common dear, come along to the park with us?" Mrs Brooklyn muttered knocking on Nina's bathroom door. She'd locked herself in her room since she arrived yesterday. Even refusing to have dinner. She'd ran into the bathroom when they forced the door open a while ago. "Do you want to be all alone? It's gonna be fun Nina. Common". A boy shrieked waving a banner up in the air. The Annual Holly Festival was going to begin in the next few hours. It was to take place in the town's Park. Mrs Brooklyn wanted Nina to participate so she'll make some friends. She's too quiet. "Alright" Nina said weakly. "I've got to dress first ok? I'll meet you in the garage in fifteen minutes"Mrs Brooklyn sighed and walked out of the room tugging her over excited son along to give Nina some privacy. She'd found Nina in the hospital three months ago. Someone had found her unconscious somewhere and brought her to the hospital. She met the girl abandoned with nowhere to go. Mrs Brooklyn sighed sadly. Maybe fat
Lisa got to the third floor and walked through the hallway, checking the room labels for 103 when she felt a hand on her butt. She turned and slapped the guy!"How dare you!" She gritted venting all her frustrations out. The dark haired guy slammed her back into the wall! He growled and held her neck."Who do you think you are?" His gruff voice yelled.Lisa tried to grab his hands off but his grip became tighter on her neck. "I'm gonna teach you some lessons. Sorry bitch!"She felt the air in her her lungs squeezing out, her hands and feet were getting weaker, she was suffocating. "P..Please" she gasped for air. He held her back and slammed her back against the wall. She fell to the floor instantly. Lisa got up and massaged her neck where he held her. It hurt like hellThe guy crouched in front of her. "Where were we?" He asked slyly.He smiled and yanked her her up, dragging her to the end of the hallway. Lisa saw the room label was 110, the last room in the hall. Probably where
"I don't want another confrontat.." Pablo answered. "Step out of the car!" Vic ordered. Pablo ran his hands through his hair in frustration, he looked at Jayden. "Can you take the valley? We have to get outta here fast""Eh? Boss!" "It's a slope filled with thornbush! The car will tumble over" Jayden gasped. "Do we have a choice?" Pablo gave him a deadly look.He looked out to see Vic still ranting on. "I'm giving you three seconds to step out. Else!""Fire when I give the order" Pablo whispered to his men and opened the door. Vic laughed immediately the door opened, he moved back to lean against his car."Why did you kill Rico?" He asked coldly. "Rico?" Pablo asked trying to stall the question.Vic bounced up and gave his men a nod. Pablo gasped as he saw them point thier weapons in his direction and open fire.He ducked in time to miss the first bullet, he threw himself to the floor as another bullet went past his ear, grazing his left cheek.Pablo scrambled back into the car
Lisa turned away to face the door. What had she done? Her heart was palpitating wildly now, she'd just murdered someone. Her hands were trembling. Jayden whimpered when he tried to get up. "Shit!" he cursed.Lisa caught sight of blood! The wound was bleeding and had stained his blue t shirt. She heard sounds of feet running up the stairs in the distance. They'd probably heard the gunshot, she panicked, about two men were coming towards them."Barker!" A loud voice growled in front of the door. He tried to open the doorknob, it was locked.Jayden stiffened and cleared his throat. "Sir.."He staggered to the door and poked his head out, hiding his bloodied arm. "What the hell was that about? We heard the shots""Yes sir. This bitch here was being stubborn! I had to show her who's boss" Jayden growled in response."Are you okay?" The man asked again. "Should we come teach her some lesson?"Lisa's eyes grew wide. She held her breath as she waited for the answer. "I can take care of
Lisa walked to the wardrobe, she opened it and gasped! She ran her hands through the clothes, it was filled with clothes suitable for strippers. She backed off as realization hit her! They probably want to use her as a sex slave!As anxieties flooded her, Lisa willed herself to be calm. Her eyes caught a small compartment in the wardrobe. She moved closer and opened it, she froze!A metallic pistol was sitting in there! She took it up and examined the pistol. She'd never seen or held one all her life. She wondered who kept it there, they'd probably forgotten it. Perhaps she could use it as a means of escape. A loud bang suddenly sounded on the door. Lisa flinched! The banging increased. "Why did you lock the door?" A man yelled.Lisa quickly hid the pistol. She closed the wardrobe and hurried to the door to open it, a heavy slap landed on her face instantly! She fell to the floor. The man pounced on her, yanking her up by her hair!She held his hands, his grip on her hair was tight
