"No..."The governor cried, dragging his butts on the ground as he banked away from Declan's menacing steps.His back hit the door of his car and the fear that gripped him doubled. Declan was close now so the Governor shut his eyes with his hands up expecting the worst."Little Johnny misses you and sends his regards."Were the next words that hit the governor followed by two finger flicks on his cheeks.He opened his eyes and Declan was squatting just in front of him with the innocent smile he had never seen him wear.Staring closely at Declan was a different kind of feeling, the Governor was literally shivering from the cold sweat that covered his body.Declan stood Dusting his palm. "I will tell him you sent your greeting as well."He said final and walked away.It took the governor ten long minutes to gather himself and enter his car. His men followed him up and they sped off.Declan walked into the house like nothing had happened."You're here. Did you hear that?"Grandpa Asher
"Congratulations on your grandpa's recovery. In everything that went one this past week, it was the biggest stuff that blew off the media"May said with a genuine smile. She had witnessed the struggle Mandy had to go through because of her grandpa's illness and was genuinely happy for her."I return all glory to God. He did that though the love of my life Declan. I can't even begin to imagine why that man was not valued where he was."Mandy said cunningly looking at May's reaction from her side eyes. "All men have who they are made for. Perhaps, Declan King was made initially for you."May shrugged, seeming unaffected."You are right. I hope you find the one for you soon. I have been there in the single hood and I know how challenging it is."Mandy said with a lip smile before she downed the content of her champagne.The women knew what they were doing to themselves, playing who would poke who first and for this round, Mandy was winning only that May did well to hide her pain."Hump
Mandy laid in Declan's arm on the rocking bench at the pitch and they laughed at something and also stared at the sky. The weather was really cool for relaxation and they hopped up right into it."Arhhg!"A loud scream came from inside, followed by some crash of things to the ground.Mandy jerked immediately at the sound."What was that?" She asked Declan, panicked."I think an old friend just paid a visit. Stay right here, I will be back." Declan said, wearing a wry smile as he walked away."Open this door now!"John screamed and banged on the locked door of the room. Footsteps approached l, followed by a creak from the door. The door opened and immediately John saw Declan, he fell back on his butts with shock."You! What are you doing here? Where am I"John asked so many questions at the same time glancing around frantically."You're at my place, welcome back John."Declan's low sneer crept John's skin "Guards! Peter!"Johnny yelled and Declan chuckled."Do you think they will su
"Arggh!"Governor Clark cried out with a loud voice. Nothing could be compared to the amount of pain he felt at that moment.He held his chest and fell to the ground.At the other city Mandy and Declan were at a dinner table set for six. The diner was at the Asher's residence to celebrate the recovery of their grandfather.May Williams walked in at that moment ."Hi... hope I'm not late. She said cheerfully waving at everyone.""The celebrant has not arrived so you're right one time" Mandy replied, showing her a seat across from Declan."Hi, May." Declan greeted and May responded with a small nod. Everyone had expected her to come with her mom considering the fact that her invitation was for two. But to their surprise, a good-looking young man walked in beside her."Looks like someone found herself a catch."Mandy said, her eyes trailing the man from head to toe. The man was very attractive. 6'2 tall, sharp jawline and tan skin. His biceps were well built and Mandy could imagine th
His hands clenched under his table in rage.The man whose name was Timothy. Popularly known as Dr Timo arrived his office. He pulled off his jacket and threw it in the air. His aura exuded rage and irritation. “Get me some water.”He hissed and one of his guards fetched him some from the dispenserHe was downing the water when a woman walked in.“Darling, is anything the matter?”The young slim lady called Zita asked, running her hand along Timo’s chest in a stylish way.“I’m fine.”Timo said with a low icy voice that matched his true feelings.“No you’re not and I think I know what the problem is.”Zita stopped and sat on a chair crossing her legs.“You’re not the only one who share in the feeling. I have looked into him myself but something is not right about him.”“What is that?”Timo looked at the woman.“All his said achievements were uploaded to his resume just in the space of a month and it bugs me to know that the people of this town are so gullible and cannot read the handwr
“Where is she?”Patrick thought inwardly, glancing around. His eyes caught May seated on a chair nearby and a smile crept on his face."You see? You love it too!"Mandy said excitedly, thinking the smile was for her. May did a thumbs up and gestured on Patrick to move closer. He did and her camera was up again. It happened that she had been making a video of everything. "What is this one called?"Mandy said and Patrick's attention snapped back at her. She showed him something on her phone this time and he leaned closer, leaving a tiny space between them."Perfect!" May said almost audibly and captured that moment. From where she sat, one and the angle of her photo, one would think there was something else going one between the two.Satisfied with the number of shots and videos, she dropped the camera outside and brought out her phone to call someone."Hello, the time is now"She said to the person and dropped the call.Barely 2 minutes later. a lady in her mid twenties stormed into t
"Huh!?" She screamed, dropping her bag with a thud with her mouth wide open. She had walked into Declan, pecking Mandy’s forehead and she could not believe her eyes. Declan glanced at her over his shoulders and she immediately snapped her opened mouth shut. “Uhm… sorry for the interruption. I should leave you two alone.” She said turning abruptly to leave. “Thank you for bringing her to the hospital” Declan said and she walked away without speaking to him. “Are you alright?” Clara asked when her daughter stormed in and slumped into the chair. “I’m well. Sorry I was not there on your discharge. I had an important errand to run. Hope Ashely didn’t give you a hard time.” “Not at all. She was very gentle to me. I’m glad she is learning well.” Clare said and May managed a smile. She concluded with her mom and went up to her room. May paced the floor of her room in deep thought of what. “How come he was not affected?” May asked herself for the upteempth time. She conclude
The next time the governor woke up, he was hung on a tree with a rope and his men surrounded him, their guns pointing at him.“What’s going on?”He asked in panic as he looked around. “Have you all gone nuts? Put your guns down now!”He yelled at his men but they didn’t move. They seemed out and disconnected from this world and only stared at him blankly. His eyes trailed all of them and fear gripped him.“What have you done?!”He screamed at Declan on top of his voice and Declan smirked.“You have one chance, governor, where is my woman?”“In hell!” Governor Clark seethed with anger. Declan didn’t say a word to him, but glanced at the side of one of the soldiers, and nodded.“Boom!”The soldiers pulled that trigger, releasing a bullet in the air at the governor.The governor snapped his eyes shut with fear as the bullet hit him straight on his left leg.“Arhhh!”He cried, gnashing his teeth at the pain that struck through him. Again, Declan looked at two other soldiers and their b
