Never had Davina thought that she would find herself in a situation as dire as this, she didn't need a soothsayer to know that the cold metal she felt at the back of her head was a gun. “Move it” the teenage boy's voice came again, this time with more seriousness. Never had Davina thought that a boy of this age would wield a gun. She raised her hands in the air showing that she was unarmed and that she wasn't a threat of any kind. “You have to calm down kiddo, I'm not here to hurt you” Davina muttered, trying so hard to keep her composure.“Hurt me?” The boy scoffed, “I'm the one with the gun, remember?” He added and pressed the gun more into the back of Davina's head, applying pressure in an attempt to push her out of the room.Davina got the idea immediately “ok, don't shoot I will go out and I won't trouble you anymore, i will leave as you were, trust me, we never met”Davina stepped out of the room and slowly tur
The word ‘busted’ slipped out of Jack's mouth, as he already knew they had been caught. He turned around and could see Jeremy approaching. “What do we do ?” Jack inquired, as he glanced at Damion, who remained silent. “We should run,” Jack suggested as he prepared to run. “No, we should wait,” Damion answered.“Are you kidding me?, if we wait here we will get caught and only God knows what they would do to us, we still don't know if Davina has been caught or not,” Jack complained. “You want us to run? To where? We don't know anywhere around here, if we run he might raise an alarm and you know what that would mean for us” Damion countered. “What would it mean?” Jack raised a brow. Damion slapped his forehead, he couldn't believe that with what he had just explained it was still difficult for Jack to comprehend. “It means we are doomed, man. Totally” “I see, so what do we do, we can't just stand here and wait till we are caught,” Jack replied. “We have been caught already, he i
Walking around with the uniform on had been helpful but not totally, this was because they had encountered a few difficulties on the way which had almost given them out, thanks to Jeremy who had been the one to bring them out of this situation. As they walked through the sidewalk, they finally came out to a place where they could see the clear sky. “Why the hell is this place?” Jack exclaimed as he raised his head, his eyes glued to the dark sky above, it was clear it was already nighttime. Jeremy smiled as he waved at another worker who could be seen parking some boxes into a warehouse, before turning to Jack. “It's called the underground city, due to its hidden nature. To be honest I'm a little bit shocked at how y'all were able to locate this place.”“I can say Jack is the genius behind locating this place,” Damion said, parting Jack on the shoulder.“Genius?” Jack tried to shrug it off. “Common you located it, I'm surprised how you do it, this place is quite hidden from the r
There is always this sense of relief whenever you realize you are no longer in trouble, your heart which was initially a mess, pounding at a tremendous pace, more like it was going to burst or jump out of your mouth gradually began to steady itself. The heavy pounding subsides until it's In sync with your breath, slow and steady like still water and then you figure out that you are suddenly at peace, this was exactly the way Davina, Jack, and Damion felt as they drove through the streets of Gold City.“I thought you guys were gone, I was shocked to see that you came back for me,” Davina remarked, her emotions visible in the tone of her voice and also in her facial expression. “Of Course, we would” Damion chipped in as he held on to the wheel tightly. “I would never leave you behind, you should know that,” Jack added as he leaned forward and stroked Davina's hair. Damion saw this action through the front mirror and sighed “Lo
The calm atmosphere in Mr Lance's office gradually turned gloomy, this was due to the information which had just been delivered by the administrative assistant. They had all had it in mind that they had at least a month before the bug started affecting the lance system, hearing the news had almost diminished their hopes of saving the company. Damion and Mr Lance watched as the lady walked out of the office. Silence trailed after, it was devastating news and it had hit the two men harder than they had expected. After a long while of silence, Damion decided to break the silence, if they wanted to stand a chance of saving the Lance towers, they had to start now. “What do we do?” Damion inquired, his voice echoing in the four corners of the quiet office. Mr Lance shook his head, his fingers running through his hair as he stared at his grandson, his mouth opened but no words came out, he didn't know what to say or do at this poi
The weather was calm, although the clouds seemed to have gathered as it seemed it was going to rain. It was a few minutes past 5 pm, and fleets of cars and vehicles sped down the highway, at some point these vehicles would come to a halt, these were caused by the heavy traffic on the road. Damion had stepped out of his house, he had a meeting with Scott today, and he had told Bella that the time for their meeting should be by 6 pm, Damion hoped that Scott would be kind enough to show up. Right now Damion was caught up in the traffic, he had taken one of the cars in his compound, a fancy one, the same vehicle he drives to work whenever he is not taking a cab. He had been in the traffic for the past 30 minutes which was a little bit strange. Gold City hardly has loads of traffic, something like this would only happen when there is an accident or robbery. The former was likely to be the case as no one would dare carry out a robbery operation at this time of the day, not when they kn
Before becoming a dad, Scott was the type of man who didn't fancy having kids, he had always loved the bad boy lifestyle, having multiple chicks flood his inbox and even his bed. In high school, Scott was one of those kids who loved being the center of attraction, his good looks, tall slender structure, and killer smile attracted the ladies. He also got a few advances from older women. This lifestyle ended when Scott came of age, his dad Gerard Leonard, the leader of the Anslem group, explained to him the responsibility he had on his shoulders which included his inheritance, the Anslem group. This didn't sit well with Scott, he had always wanted to chase his dreams, pursuing his career in the movie industry, he had the charms that made every producer seek him in their movies. While Scott had high hopes for his dreams and ambitions, his father had a different plan. A wedding was held where Scott was forced to get married to a lady he
Hearing those words from Scott brought a certain calmness to Damion's heart, it was a good thing knowing that Scott had this kind of love for Bella.At this point Damion could see that Scott was indeed a good man, he was only judged due to the bad name his dad had created for the Anslem group. “Thank you so much for saving my daughter” Scott broke the silence, his gaze was soft and at that point, Damion could see how indebted this man was. “I did what needed to be done, I couldn't sit back and watch a child die for no reason” Damion smiled. “you are kind,” Scott commented. A thought crossed Damion's mind, as he wondered why someone would shoot a little girl like Tatiana in the first place, but remembering the family she was born into, Damion knew there would be enemies here and there so he decided to twist his words instead. “I want you to take good care of Bella, it seems you have a lot of enemies, I won't be this
