Christian's POV I have always seen fast and furious in the movies but I never thought I would be practicing it one day. My heart was in my mouth at the sight of the horrid look on the assailants faces. Coming after us in powerbikes with guns that look murderous enough on its own. Oh, lord save my soul. If I end up dying in this type of attack, I should definitely belong to the members of heavens. I can't go to hell like this. "How the hell are we getting out of this?" I blurted, bending down to avoid getting hit. Not even a bullet proof car would save me from the bullets of those wild guns. "We have more men on the way sir." The wounded guard assured me. How they could be calm in this ruckus is something I would never be able to fathom. And I really don't care at the moment I just want to be save. I tried to pay attention to the attack, the gun men weren't exactly shooting at the car windows, it's more of targeting the car tires. Almost like an attempt to bring the car to a
Audrey's POvThe back of my neck ached as I tried to understand what the fools in front of me were trying to say. This is the second time in a row I am sending my men out to get me a person and they return with no good newsI really don't want to believe what I am hearing right, I chugged down the rest of the vodka in the glass I held in hand. Tossing the glass at the stupid men in front of me, it hit the wall directly. They are lucky I have a poor throwing capability."What bullshit are you telling me right now?" I inquired in the calmest tone i could muster.The head of the team, Carlton stayed stiff. "We did our best sir, but their men and the police had outnumbered us.""I asked you to get Lauren. My brothers girlfriend, how can someone like her have access to guards?" I was boiling with steam now."She was with Mr Christian, sir." Carlton responded.I sucked in a breath, gritting my teeth hard. Whatever it is protecting Christian really has to be something unheard of. I have neve
Christian POVWords about my attack has been rounded in the news before I left the city, this local news seem to enjoy drama. I had called Donna to ensure its brought down before I return.Lauren's noise was getting to me, I had asked for her to be gagged. Her stubbornness is really out of this world. Despite being tied down, she keeps trying hard to free herself. Lauren thought I was joking when I asked for her to be taken into the prepared jet for our flight. I don't want to hear anymore excuse that she has, it's enough that she boldly looks me in the eye and gives me curt responses. The day would have been a bit of pleasant if Audrey didn't call me. It's the nerve for me. He makes it seem like everything happening has nothing to do with him and it irks me that I have to put up with his bullshit till I get to the bottom of everything. If I try to talk to dad about it, Audrey might end up doing something worse. The depth in his words being said to me was delivered well. For now I
Christian's POVI dropped my cutlery staring at him in confusion, "what do you mean?" The guard cleared his throat, after drinking water from the glass handed to him by Dora. "she started fussing and throwing things at the door. When I got in to see what was going on, she attacked me and bit me hard on my hand. I had to hold her back and run out of the room to come to you." I hissed in irritation, "is she still throwing tantrums?""She is locked back in now, boss." He bowed."Alrighr, that works. You can go." I told him.Silence reigned and I can sense Dora's eyes trailing my movement. As delicious as the casserole was. It was beginning to taste watery and all of the flavor I imagined to savor was all gone. "What is it, Dora?" "I know this might sound nosy, but I hope you know what you are doing?" "Pack up the food Dora, I will microwave it when I return." I muttered, standing up. My head reeled in anger as I made my way towards the room Lauren got locked up in. A guard had open
Lauren's POVI couldn't control the muckus that kept drooling down my nose. The thought of Aiden being ignored by the doctors because they didn't hear from me or get any money sent to them for the treatment. Had my head reelingI will never forgive Christian, if anything happens to my brother and I wouldn't mind going to jail because of him. I would kill him and burn his deadbody. My body ached from all of the tussle and my throat itched painfully.The scream I had let out at burned at my chest badly. The door opened again and the woman who I had seen by the house entrance when I was being dragged in. Walked towards me with a tray in hand.I swallowed a dry spit at the sight of the water glass in the tray she carried. She calmly placed it on a nearby stool, with her eyes filled with pity she fed me the water. I would have refused, not knowing if I was about to be drugged.But, her aura gave off that of a good person. I gulped it down my throat like I had been starved for years. Today,
Christian's POVScrolling through my phone, I hissed at each post of the attack that had happened earlier I'm the day. It's almost midnight and they are all going crazy over the comments. Many of the blog posts have written more fabricated stories than I would have imagined actually happened to me. I had to leave the confines of the house and take the bicycle towards the end of the road where a gadget store, where WiFi could be used. The house and it's surroundings don't have reception and that was the plan for the house. Far from all of the city rustles, however I had called for some installations. Just that I need something else to hold Lauren down and prevent her from making any crazy call.I sighed, texting Donna. Instead of replying, she opened up a video call almost immediately. That lady has nothing like courtesy in her dictionary. If I wanted to see her face, there wouldn't have been a need to text first.Sighing, I picked the call. "Learn to seek for permission before carry
"It still doesn't answer the question, Christian. Lauren cheated on you, does that mean you should become a monster?" I kissed my teeth, "You know nothing about this, Dora. Just let it be.""She has a brother who is on a sick bed and his life fading out! How did you not know about that?" "That's a lie, she has no brother!" I argued"How about you call the same hospital you pick her up from. What is wrong with you, Christian. When did you lose your humane conscience. If she cheated,then you let her go. Both of you going on your separate ways. Don't act so petty and expect your wounds to heal." Dora huffed"Who exactly is this brother and why do I not know about it?""Maybe, you would have known if you cared to listen.""Listen to what exactly? We were together for four years and I practically know nothing about her. How do you think that makes me feel?" "Like an actual fool." She replied to me bluntly.I hissed, pushing the bottle away from me. "That woman had me giving her every pa
At 15 hours, the guard who was asked to go to the hospital (Maybean Hospital) for confirmation about Lauren's brother came back with a positive news confirming truthfully that Lauren's brother Aiden Palmer has been admitted for almost 3 years his life and now and his body is depreciating day by day, and the doctor attending to him, which is Doctor Shelby told the guard to tell Lauren to hasten up with the money for his operation on or before two months or get ready to transfer him to a better hospital because of the lack of enough materials to cater for his medical needs. When Christian heard this from the man sent, he put his hands on his head, confused and finding every piece of information given to him was true, he was having a mixed feeling his pride was telling it was not his fault, while his other thought was telling him that he should have given her (Lauren) a chance to explain herself seeing him in that situation. He decided to leave the bar to let Christian think, Christ
