“What are you thinking?“ Mrs Laurette asked.“Oh you wanted to say right. Well, I won't, I'll pretend like nothing happened. You we're just meant to exchange numbers,”“Which I did, why are you acting like there was more to that?“ Mrs Laurette mumbled.“Because there is, and you don't need to pretend about it. I can see it clearly, I'm no longer a child mum,” Amber mumbled, Mrs Laurette giggled.“See what clearly?“ Mrs Laurette asked. Amber rolled her eyes In frustration.“You know what, forget I said that,” Amber mumbled, Mrs Laurette giggled again.“Better,” She said as she stood up, heading over to the table. She gasped.“Amber, you've finishes everything,” “Everything? What are you talking about?“ Amber mumbled. Mrs Laurette nodded with a smile.“I see what you're doing, but it's fine, I'm not that hungry anyway, so I think I'll go get us both lunch later,” Mrs Laurette said.TALIA.One of the men escorted me to the restroom. It wasn't really a restroom, it was obvious that they
“Hello Boss, ah—are you there?“ He said, panting heavily."Blake is that you?" Wayne asked.“Yes boss, I survived, where are you? I think I know where they are, we can get them easily,” Blake said, even if Bmhe knew Wayne had sent the address to Theresa's father, his original boss, he just wanted to pull up a pretence, so that way, Wayne wouldn't suspect him.“But why haven't you reached out to me yet, What about Talia?“ Wayne asked.“She's good, I have been staying out of sight, watching their move, it's not wise that I attack on my own,”“Okay fine, are you fine?“ Are you alright?“ Wayne asked. “Yes I am, please send me your address, we need to plan on our attack,” Blake said.“Sure, I'll do that now,” Wayne said, then he hung up.He focused on his meal, but suddenly he stopped flipping the stake. Something was wrong, he could sense it. Blake didn't sound right. Afterall, it's been days since Blake heard from Blake the night he called. If Blake knew their hideout, and if Blake wasn
Talia covered her mouth, terrified of what the man would do to her if he saw her.Thean turned to her direction, he furrowed his brows, heading to her direction.Immediately, Talia heard more footsteps. The man turned to see more coming towards his direction. Talia was hiding so she couldn't see the rest of the people who came up to the man. Although, it could have been the kidnappers.“Hey, have you seen a girl, brown hair, about five feet six?“ Talia heard one of the men say. The voice sounded so familiar, and obviously, she was their description. It was kidnappers.Talia looked down, making sure she wouldn't step on the branch she had stepped on earlier. Butost importantly, she prayed the man wouldn't expose her, The man seemed to have noticed her. That was why he was heading towards her direction. “No, I haven't,” The man said, Amber sighed silently. She guessed the man didn't see her. He must have thought it was an animal or whatever. As long as he didn't see her, Talia was fin
“What are you doing here again?“ Mrs Laurette asked. As she watched Mr Oliver stutter.“I—uh—i can't,”“You can't do what?“ Mrs Laurette folded her arms, while Amber watched both of them.“I can't live without you, I'm sorry, I keep messing up, and I'm not going to assure you that I'll magically change and be perfect for you. But, I need you to be patient with me, like you always have been. I love you, and I'm not ready to lose you, please,” Mr Oliver pleaded, getting on his knees.As soon as Mr Oliver got on his knees, Doctor Trevor walked up to them, he stood in front of Mr Oliver. “Can you please excuse me,” The doctor said to Mr Oliver who was kneeling by the door. Mrs Laurette covered her mouth, holding back her laugh because Mr Oliver would have to move on his knees, or he would have to get up and move.Mr Oliver looked up at Mrs Laurette. Mrs Laurette's palm was still pressed to her lips. Amber on the other hand couldn't hold in her laugh. She laughed out loud, drawing Mr Oliv
“I think I have a place,” he said.Talia was about to go with him, but she paused on her track, realizing that he also couldn't be trusted. Going with him could be a bad idea, but staying here also was riskier than trusting him.“Uhm, excuse me Sir,” Talia said, causing the man to pause on his track, slowly, he turned to face her.“What is it?“ He asked bluntly.“Sir, please I don't mean to be rude or ungrateful. But, where is it you're taking me?“ Talia asked.“How are you going to know where I'm taking you, when you clearly don't know your way around here, I'm sure this is your first time here, and clearly you don't even realize where you are. But it seems you're having trust issues. I'll be on my way then, if you choose to stay, you can go ahead and stay. I was only trying to help,” The man said.“Please, sir, I am sorry, you wouldn't blame me, I had just escaped from the hands of murderers, you wouldn't blame my action,” Talia explained.“Well, we better hurry, I'm sure whoever wa
“Shit,” Blake cursed under his breath.Hearing this, the Boss furrowed his brows, he turned to Blake.“What is he talking about?“ The Boss asked.“Th—the girl,” Blake stuttered.“What happened to the girl, did any of you kill her?“ The Boss asked as he was running out of patience, he needed to know What was really going on, The more Blake kept beating around the bush. The more The Boss was vetting angrier.“No we didn't,”“Then tell me Why is it going on?!“ The Boss yelled.“She escaped,” the guard Mumbled. Immediately, Theresa's father took out his pocket, he pointed it to the guard who had said she had escaped, pulling the trigger at him.“Bang!“ He fell to the floor. The Boss directed the gun to Blake, pointing it at him. Blake raised both his hands to the air.“Please calm down,” Blake pleaded.“Tell me What he just said is a lie, where is the girl?“ The Boss asked.“Please, put the gun down, let me explain,” Blake said as he began to tremble.“You want me to put down my gun, fin

What do you think would have happened if I had left you there,”“But you said you know a place I can hide,” Talia cutted in.“I said I know where you could hide, but I didn't say it was close by, I didn't say it was three feet away. Now will you be quiet,” Dannis said in annoyance.“I'm sorry,” Talia mumbled. As they both kept going.A few minutes later, Tal
“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
