CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX “Hands up where I can see them” she heard him say again and she obeyed without complaining. She heard an engine roar and in no time, the whole place lit up. It seems they had put on the generator. She cursed as she saw the person pointing the gun at her. It was the man from earlier, the one she had not killed and she regretted that decision right now. She should have just killed him, but it was too late. Sb couldn't turn back the hand of time. She raised both of her hands up in the air and she saw another shooter come out from the back. It was Danny and it seems like the woman recognized her too because she smirked when she saw her. Tyla gave her a bored look, she had this haughty smile on her face. “What a surprise Tyla, looks like Owen couldn't man up and come by himself, so he sent you instead. That's funny” she said,her smirk not leaving her face. “Well, he didn't seem you worthy enough” Tyla replied with a calm smile and Danny cocke
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SEVEN Tamara sat on the couch in the sitting room, the only thought in her head being the discussion she had with Gabriel a few days ago. She couldn't wipe the thought off her head because as evil as it sounds, it was their best bet at the moment. She knew Daniel was her way out of this mess and he was her best option at getting the company back, but she couldn't possibly put her son in a situation like that What if the court decides to put him in jail instead? She wouldn't be able to live with that. And Daniel, she knew he would never agree to that. He would say she had it planned in her head all along so she could pin the whole thing on him in the first place. Their relationship was at the verge of sinking right now, she didn't want it to end up in the bottom of the ocean. She shook her head as she took a sip.if the wine in her cup. It was not strong, but she could feel herself getting high due to her lack of tolerance for alcohol. It's been a
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY EIGHTWhat?” Tamara asked and the two girls fell on their knees, sobbing. She found the whole thing weird as she couldn't understand why her son would plan with the maids to kill her. It sounded unbelievable. The maid's sobs got louder by the minute, Daniel just watched everything with a bored look, he was amused by the drama playing in front of him. She turned to Daniel with rage. “You tried to kill me?” She asked but he gave her a disbelieving look. “And how is that? I was not the one who served you the drinks, she did” He said, pointing to the maid closer to where she sat. Although his words sounded stupid, she turned to the girl who knelt on the floor, sobbing loudly. “Hey you” she called, her voice, not one but friendly and the two of them raised their heads up to look at her. Her eyes were literally brimming with fire and stone at this moment. “Explain what happened here before I lose it” she said with raw anger and the girl used t
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY NINE “Well, the swim coach asking the divers where the swimmers are. How does that sound? I made it myself” he said with a proud smile. “I'm not in the mood for those gibberish Daniel. If you have a problem, then just sort it out with me” she yelled again. He was tired of being treated like trash by her own son. Someone she carried in her womb for good nine months. He gave her a bored look and she knew that if he could stand up at this moment, he would walk away from her. “I do not have a problem. And if we are talking about problems here, then I think you should start with yourself. Thinking of throwing your son to the Frontline of the battle after starting a war is the most cowardly thing anyone on earth would do. I can possibly take it from Gabriel as he is not my biological father, but what about you? What about you?” He asked, his voice getting louder at the end of his statement “How bad do you think of me Daniel? I would not do such
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY Owen had been driving for the past two hours, half of which he had used to drive into town and the other half he had been using to locate Danny's house, but all his efforts were in vain. He had practically gone round the city twice and yet he couldn't locate it. She sure had a taste for peace and decorum, he commended her for that. He had been able to locate the house that day because Rina had been with him. He took deep breaths as he was clearly losing it. He needed to calm himself down. He tried calling Rina but the moment he picked up his phone, he wiped the idea off. They had an issue a few days ago, but that didn't mean she wouldn't call him. He knew she was at home, the guards had told him. But she didn't bother to ask for his whereabouts. If she couldn't call him, then why would he? That was the thought he had in mind as he ruled the idea off. He took a long deep breath as he tried to remember the landmarks he had used to locate the place
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY ONE‘’Well, well Owen. All these hustle and bubbles just to get someone like you, you're not really worth it though” he heard her voice and that was when he raised his head up to see her. She looked provocative in the long dress she was putting on. One look at her and you would think she was still in her early twenties. “Where's she?” Owen asked, he was clearly not interested in any other thing she was saying at the moment. “Oh, in one piece” she said and Owen didn't like the sound of that. She sounded cheerful and he knew Danny was twisted in the brain, so whatever made her happy would always be at the detriment of others. “Where's she?” He asked again and she sighed. “Oh Owen, always in a hurry” She signaled to the guards and they went in. He saw them drag someone in from the back and he almost screamed in horror. The two guards held her two arms each and she had her head bowed and her clothes were bloodied. She looked half dead and th
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO They had been standing for the past ten minutes and Danny had not said a word to them even after everything Tyla had said. The guards had stopped banging the door and Rose Mary surmised that they had come to a conclusion that banging it would not make her open it. She had a cunny smirk on her face. “What do you say Danny? Just a word from you and those men outside will back down. You can end this, you alone can end it” Tyla continued, hoping she could convince her even though her hope was very low. “So, I should let him go? Is that what you are trying to say” She asked, her gun still pointing at Owen where he knelt on the floor. “Yes, and we can all go home in Peace” Rose Mary replied this time. “Here you are, talking of peace and still having a gun pointed at me. How peaceful that looks” Danny taunted. Owen looked between Rose and Tyla and he gave her a slow nod. She gave Danny a thorough look before gently bringing the gun dow
CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THREE “I shouldn't have fought with her” Kate said, as she lay in bed with Mario in her room. She had thought of what happened between her and her mother earlier and now, she was feeling a little bit guilty. She could clearly understand the kind of pain and confusion her mother was in, and yelling at her that way was like pouring salt on an open wound. She had to sleep over it to realize that. Mario shifted on the bed and she understood he was trying to sit up. She sat up and he did too. They sat facing each other and he gave her a look that said ‘I told you so’ . “Don't give me that look” Kate said as she bent her face. She was already having a bad day without getting out of bed. She stood up from the bed and stripped to the bathroom. She washed her face and cleaned her teeth before coming out. She met him in the same position she had left him and she gave him a questioning look. “Aren't you getting out of bed?” She asked. “Hell, I am
