Chapter 97“You called for me, and here I am. What did you want from me?” Avon’s voice pierced the silence once again, the chills they brought directed to only one man and it’s the man they’ve cornered against the wall of the entrance where he stood.“Uhm….Uhh… I- Uh…” He stuttered with a statement seeming formidable on his lips. “I’m here to kill you but I don’t think I can. Can you please forgive me and let me go.” After much courage, he had said, hiding the stress that clouded his voice but were much expressed on his face.He stared with anticipation, his hands trembling hard against the guns they held, sweats was beginning to brew on his forehead and he look extraordinarily tensed. “You’re here to kill me.” Avon repeated the interesting part, picking on his jaw as he gazed more widely at him. “Yes, and now I’m not. I’m sorry for even thinking I can or for even trying. Please do not end my life, I really have an important date this midnight, I told your wife about it. She knows
Chapter 98Kory had Finn beside him aiding her faltering stance while they both watch Faye fade into distance with Avon beside her. Kory cussed at her inwardly, she badly want to leave this place without Lorraine getting the chance to introduce her to the family like she planned. “Okay let’s go to the car.” Finn placed her arm around his shoulder before scooping her up in a bridal style. “What the fuck, put me down, put me down right now!” Kory protested as she struggled in his arms, fighting to be placed back on her feet.“Why should I, ain’t you my girl- I can carry you like this can’t I?” Finn said, switching statement his words, and ignoring her struggling antics as he kept on going without putting her down. “Finn stop! Just put me down right now! Please I don’t like this!” Kory gave up struggling, pleading out to him in annoyance. “Fine!” Finn placed her down, holding on to her hand instead. The both of them said nothing to each other, silence engulfing their midst afterwa
Chapter 99The foggy substance cleared off the atmosphere the room was engulfed in. They once again regained a conscious sight and the blurry vision had worn off. “Who was that? What the fuck was he doing here with a gun? Is everyone okay? Where is grandfather?” Charlotte asked persistently looking around the room with perturbation. Lorraine rubbed her face, feeling extremely weak as she held on Avon’s shoulder. Avon quickly grabbed her, drawing her whole body to lean well in his arms. “Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?” Avon quizzed in a voice laced deep in concern. Lorraine groaned softly, rubbing more on her forehead, the pain hazed slightly on her head, she felt extremely disturbed and could only believe the cause must be from the smoke inhaled from the flash bomb machine. “I’m fine.” Lorraine managed to reply, trying to get back on her feet as she pulled away from Avon. “Grandfather!” Charlotte screamed as she ran over to the old man passed out on his desk still sea
Chapter 100 “Faye! Faye!! Faye!!!” Jeffrey called to her silence, nothing was responding. She was still in his arms, her pulse rating low and unresponsive. “Faye! Faye, please what the fuck is going on?” Jeffrey panicked as he bent his head to hear her heartbeat that was still beating, but faint and extremely meek.Jeffrey picked her up in his arms, carrying in a bridal style as he rushed down the hallway. He ran with apprehension expressed wildly on his face. The thought of not knowing what is wrong with her or why she suddenly fainted made his heart race faster than a nitro enhanced running car. Is something wrong with her before that she has no idea of? She seems perfectly okay when he went to her, talking to her and offering her a drink even, all seems well they even proceeded to taking their conversation up to her room.Then all of a suddenly she slipped and fell into unconsciousness. What suddenly happened. Jeffrey ran straight out of the mansion, the guards outside becomin
Chapter 101Charlotte kept on doing everything to bring Lennox back to consciousness. It has been a long minutes now that Lorraine left to go get water with her husband and haven’t returned. She wondered what could be keeping them this long. She took a break from shaking him, resting his back on his chair before folding her fingers into a fist then putting it together as she placed it upon Lennox’s chest, she pressed it on with a little force, then bent her head placing her ear to hear his faint heartbeat pumping back to live. She repeated the action, till Lennox eventually responded, flapping his eyes awake as he began coughing violently. He coughed with heaviness and that set Charlotte on big edge as she ran out looking down the empty hallway maybe she would see a sign of Avon or Lorraine bringing the water. But she saw nothing but the empty hallway, she ran back inside. Going to Lennox and running a relaxation palm down his chest.“Water is on the way. Lorraine is coming with
Chapter 102 Kory gazed with a twitching eye, keeping muted and acting oblivious to the question he just asked, while effectively thinking of a lie to get herself out of the situation but none was coming up.“Kory, I said who-“Kory leaped forward, closing the gap between them as she toed on her heels, reaching his face level as she caught his moving lips in a kiss, cutting short his words before it could make any sense. Sorting into another means to keep his suspicions at bay. Finn pulled away, moving a feet backward from her. “I asked you a question Kory, and after you’ve ignored me for trying to care about you. You suddenly think it’s cool to just kiss me and forgot how you treated me?” Finn pointed out, biting on the side of his bottom lip to express his disappointment. “What-““Who was that guy?” Finn gave no chance for her defense. “A friend.”“What was he talking about when he said you better not be involved in whoever’s death?” He rolled out another question. Kory took a
Chapter 103Charlotte spiraled further trying to understand what is happening, right next to her was Avon laid on the floor still deep in unconsciousness while her fisted hands around his collar kept slamming on him to bring him back.Thoughts on what happened, navigating to her daughter’s disappearance or something happening to her defined in her mind as she kept on trying to wake him up. “Avon wake up! Wake up! Wake up!” Charlotte kept slapping on him till she heard a grunt, not until then did she halted the action. Waiting some seconds before tapping on his smooth cheek again. Avon groaned, feeling a sense of blurriness in his head. A pang of pain hit him from his feelings coming from all over his face. He blended into his environment, arching his spine after sitting up with one hand rested behind his back on the floor. His lashes flapped weakly gaining steadiness to look at the woman knelt on the floor closely beside him. He stared plainly, trying to understand what is going
Chapter 104Oscar left the office, going in search for his daughter so they can talk more on what she just revealed to him that is wrong with her. The previously unknown information which was recently revealed to him stomp massively on his mental state. It was too sudden and unexpected, how could that be happening to his beautiful little girl. Why would that be happening to his beautiful princess. No matter how much he tried pushing the tears back in, the urge heightened as he could feel the liquid brimming under his eyes, before he could push them back they push freely down his eyes. Falling down his cheeks leaving a muddled impact. Oscar dragged his steps heavily, trailing in a languid motion and moving his feet skittishly. He stopped as he leaned upon the wall, slowly his body slid downward, till he could feel his butt touching the ground with his knees curled. Oscar sat on the ground, placing his head in between his knees as he met more tears while reminiscing on the tragic n
