“Dannis, is this telephone functioning?“ She asked.

“What do you mean by functioning?“ Dannis teased.

“Stop, I mean does it work?“ Talia asked.

“Uhh, yeah, why?“ Dannis gave a questioning look.

“I want to call my boss, he's the reason I was abducted by those men, and I need to warn him also, those men are after his life,” Talia grumbled.

“How can you call him when you do not know his number?“ Dannis asked.

“I do,” Talia said as she bent to pick up the telephone. She pressed some numbers as she waited for Wayne to pick up.

WAYNE.

Wayne was seated outside his porch. While Ruby and Theresa were still tied in.

Wayne was outside on the look out when his phone rang. It was an unknown number.

“You finally decided to call huh?“ Wayne scuffed, he thought it was Theresa's father who decided to call with him with an unknown number.

Wayne answered the call, placing it on his right ear. His eyes flew open in bewilderment when he heard….

“Sir, hello, Wayne, can you hear me?“ It was Talia. Wayne q

You open your filthy mouth, blurting rubbish out of it. It seems like you have forgotten what I told you, huh? Well let me remind you. Once this whole thing is over, I'll make sure I kill you personally, and maybe you can say hi go Crystal in hell,” Theresa threatened.“Wait!“ Fuby scuffed, blinking several times as she felt her tummy ache.“YmamAre you trying to tell me that you had a hand in Crystal's death, the former cashier, you brutally murdered her?“ Ruby asked as Theresa giggled.“How come you look so surprised. You don't think I am capable of handling that? Well, that's good for you, it will be fun watching you witness your own death, that way you'll learn not to run your mouth in your next lives to come,” Theresa said, Giggling again.“I'm sorry Theresa, w

    I reached for the doorknob, opening the door to see who it was.“Kelvin what are you doing here?“ I asked, staring at my little brother, standing at the front porch.“Bro, I should be asking you the same question, how would you run out of everything? Tomorrow is our conference meeting, which you're meant to attend. Or do you want Uncle Smith to take over our company? You only have one job, one job to defend dad's sweat. And the only thing you could do was run away from everything?“ Kelvin huffed.“You make it sound like it's easy. What if they don't buy? afterall, I have been nothing but a loser to everyone since Laila passed away. And now suddenly, I should be a hero,” Dannis lamented.“You and I know that this is not about Father, this is really not about anyone but yourself. You're meant to prove to yourself that you are capable, Dad is gone, Laila is gone, and now, you want Dads Company, the only thing we have of him, you want everything to go, just like that?“ Kelvin grumbled.TA

She couldn't stand his gaze, not after what had conspired between both of them.“I hope I didn't ruin anything?“ Doctor Trevor asked.“No, not at all, in fact, you saved me lots of stress, I wasn't ready for his drama,” Mrs Laurette mumbled. Doctor Trevor smiled. “Atleast, that's good to hear, I am pleased to hear that I was of help, and not the other way around. Amber, how are you doing?” Doctor Trevor directed his attention to Amber. Amber nodded her head, while her focus was on hdr phone. The Doctor smirked, turning back to Mrs Laurette.“She seems to be receiving treatments properly, so in a few days, she will be released, and you both can return home,” Doctor Trevor said.“Wow, thank you so much, thank you for investing in my daughter's life, I'm sure that If you hadn't taken this case seriously, God knows what could ha

    “What if she's our sister?“ Dannis mumbled as Kelvin stared at him dumbstruck.“You've got to be out of your mind,” Kelvin stood up, pacing around.“Why do you keep obsessing over Laila, were you in love with her or something?”“Kelvin, why would you say that?“ Dannis questioned.“Obviously, Laila isn't our blood. She was obviously adopted, do you think we didn't notice how her death broke you into pieces, you loved that girl, just admit it,”“Kelvin, it's our sister you're talking about here. Shit! You know what? You're right. Maybe I loved her, maybe I wished she wasn't taken away from my life, maybe her death ruined me. But what difference does it make when you say it? It doesn't make any difference Bro,”“When then did you say she could be her?“ Kelvin said, pointing at Talia. Talia sat there, shocked and dumbfounded.“I didn't die,” Dannis and Kelvin paused, turning to Talia, who was surprisingly crying.“I don't really remember my past, but all I could remember was that I woke u

And how did he know she'll be here?“ Kelvin questioned.“I don't know, but all I know right now is that we should get the hell out of here. They'll be back, I saw it in his eyes,” Dannis said. Kelvin ran his hand through his hair.“Well that's not a bad idea, at least that's what I came here to do, get you out of here. But, what about the girl?“ Kelvin asked.“You mean Talia?“ Dannis asked. Kelvin nodded.“She's coming with us,” AMBER.After Mrs Laurette got food last night, Amber dozed off after eating.

They turned to him, including the nurses.“I'll advise you to read it some other time, or maybe once I'm gone,” Mr Oliver mumbled. Amber turned to Mrs Laurette. Mrs Laurette slightly nodded her head, Letting her know that it was okay to read the letter once he was gone.“Thanks Dad, I love the gifts you brought, mostly, the book,” Amber said with a smile. Mr Oliver cracked his throat, he had done that no less than five times. And Mrs Laurette knew that was a sign of him being nervous. Why Was he nervous?“You're welcome honey. I decided to see you for the last time, before I leave,” Mr Oliver mumbled. Amber furrowed her brows“You're leaving?

Wayne giggled bitterly.“So this is really who you are. You were working for them all this while and had the guts to pretend to my face?“ Wayne said. Blake had handed the gun over to Mr Kain. His gun was in his car, so right now he was harmless.Wayne could see how terrified Blake was. And even from the distance between them, Wayne could notice Blake trembling from his head to his toe.“Boss, please,”“Don't fucking call me that, Do you dare call me your Boss,” Wayne said.While Wayne was busy, focused on Blake. Mr Kain felt it was the best opportunity to end Wayne life once and for all.“Bang!!!!“ Talia gasped. Her eyes focused on Mr Kain who was just shot on the head.

Bang!“ Wayne and the rest of the men heard gunshots coming from inside the warehouse. Wayne's eyes flew open in shock. What if Talia had been shot.Wayne ran towards the door. One of the men ran after him, gripping him on his shoulder.“Where do you think you're going, huh? Bang!“ Wayne heard another Gunshot.With Wayne being distracted again. The man threw an unexpected punch at Wayne's left rib cage. Wayne heard a cracking sound. He groaned in

The boss might have called in more of his men.Four men hopped out from the G-wagon, all armed as they advanced towards the order men.They glanced at the ground, gazing at the guns on the floor. They all giggled, turning to themselves. Throwing their own gun to the floor. Because they understood what was going on.Wayne stood alone injured with gun shot all over his body, facing twelve men.Without warning, the first man lunged towards him, fist swinging widely, Wayne dodged, delivering a quick and swift punch to the man's temple.

Tell your men to let her go,” Wayne took a step closer, pointing the gun at Mr Kain.Mr Kain took out a blade from his pocket, he held the knife at Talia's neck. Pressing it tight that it gave Talia a little cut.Dannis attempted to stop Mr Kain, but one of the gang men held him back. “Where do you think you're going?“ The gang man said to Dannis.“I'm sorry but you'll have to go through my men, provide my daughter if you want your girl back. Boys! handle him,” Mr Kain ordered.Wayne turned back because two cars had pulled over behind him. More gang men stepped out of the car.

    An Explosion..Ruby eyes flew open in shock, what was that noise. It came from outside, immediately Theresa had stepped out. Could it be that Theresa, No! No way!Wayne had planted bombs specifically for Those gang men. In case they would find their way to Theresa and Ruby. Wayne had chained Theresa and Ruby, thinking they wouldn't be able to leave until he was back. He hadn't planted those bombs for Theresa nor did he plant it For Ruby.But it was quite unfortunate that Theresa was a victim. Ruby was scared to death. What if Theresa had released her. What if they both were together. She would have died too. Sometimes good things come in bad ways. And TmRuby had just realized that.TALIA.Talia was being carried because she had been shot on the leg. She was unable to walk and the warehouse was hours away, Dannis and Kelvin were behind, with three other guards who followed behind them.“Move!“ one of the guards pushed Dannis.

We could use it to unlock these locks. If you want to get out of here, we would have to work together,” Theresa mumbled.Ruby stared at the pin. Wondering how a pin was going to help get them out of the situation.“How does this basically work?“ Ruby asked. Theresa rolled her eyes in annoyance..“Just pick up the pin first, i'll tell you what to do next,” Theresa said. Ruby tried to reach for the pin because Theresa spat the pin next to the chained hand, so t

    A few hours later. The boss arrived.“Who would build such a beautiful cabin in the middle of the woods? I almost lost my way here,” The boss said. Two guards were behind him. Talia hadn't seen these guards before. Obviously they were his personal guards and they had no business in the warehouse where Talia was locked. Unlike those filthy, disgusting gang men. These men were dressed in uniforms. They both seemed unaggressive. But not like all these things Talia had noticed about these men would change the fact that she would be dead soon. And the sad part was that she had to bring Dannis and his brother with her.Speaking of Dannis, his bleeding had stopped. He just knelt there, quiet. Kelvin on the other hand couldn't stop mumbling.“If I knew, I would have stayed back, I would have let you face this whole bullshit alone. Now you're going to lose everything, both the company, and soon your life. Oh! God! I wouldn't have come here,” Kelvin kept rumbling until the Boss had arrived.

    Talia took the phone from Dannis, she dialled Wayne's number, and on the last ring, he picked up.Wayne got into his car, he was on his way when his phone rang.“He finally decided to call,” Wayne scuffed. “Hello,” Wayne said.“Hello Boss,” it was a familiar voice, not that of Blake, It was Talia's voice.“Talia, where are you?!“ Wayne said.“Uhmm, I don't know, they kidnapped me, Blake…. Bang! Hey! get down, on your knees, all of you!”“He—Hello, Talia! Are you there?“ All Wayne could hear was shooting. But there was something intriguing about the other voice. It sounded so familiar. And why would she mention Blake's name, what was she about to tell Wayne? TALIA.Busy when Talia was about to warn Wayne about Blake. There was a loud noise on the door. “Bang!“ The door fell to the floor. The phone slipped out of Talia's hands.“Hey! get down, on your knees, all of you!” Blake walked in pointing the gun at all of them. Behind Blake were about five of the men who had kidnapped Talia.
