CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE Kate and Jake were having their time at home, they had just started their own honeymoon phase and they couldn't get enough of each other. It was past ten in the night, but none of them wanted to get out of bed. They had been in bed since noon and Kate had just woken up. She rolled on her back and raised her hand in an attempt to place it on Jake, only to feel the empty space, she opened her eyes slowly, he was not there. The place was warm, which meant that it hadn't been long since he got up, but the question was where could he have gone?” She rubbed her eyes with the back of her palms as she stood up from the bed with a long sigh. She felt refreshed, although her neck hurt, probably from her sleeping position. She arranged her robe and put on her flops before walking out of the room. She headed straight to the kitchen as she had an idea that he would be there. She was not surprised to see him there, he had once told her that he loved cooking. Well
CHAPTER NINETY “Hey mum” Kate answered enthusiastically over the phone and Maria chuckled. It's been a while since she got a call from her and she was kinda happy she called. “Hey baby” She replied “Although I love that you call, but I am still curious tho, to what do I owe this unexpected call?” She asked and Kate chuckled “Nothing serious though, it's just that Jake left the house and I am kinda lonely right now. I needed someone to keep me company, and you were my best guess, so I decided to call you. I thought you would be asleep already, but thank God you aren't” Kate said in one long deep breath and Maria nodded. She already guessed so. “So, what's popping?” Kate asked “How's the company and everybody?” She asked again and Maria rolled her eyes as if she could see her “Well, if you wanted to know about the company and the others, you would have come to check up on them, but you didn't and why, if I may ask?” Maria sounded annoyed, but Kate knew that she
CHAPTER NINETY ONE “What was that?” Owen asked Rina, referring to the attitude she displayed earlier. She took slow steps to his bed and she sat on the edge. “What was what?” She asked “Don't try to play dumb with me Rina, what was that you did with Mia?” He asked, annoyance clearly showing in his voice “I did nothing, and if we were placing blames and sharing faults, then you would be the most faulty one in the room, since I walked in to see you happily exchanging saliva with some whore I have no idea where the fucking hell she came from, how do you explain that?” Rina heaved at the end of her statement. Owen took a deep breath to calm himself down. “That is not what happened” Owen tried to justify himself even though he knew she wouldn't listen to him at this moment. She was too hot headed, it was even a miracle that she didn't harm Tyla. “Oh really?” She asked, her brows cocked and her head tilted a little. “It is not what it seemed like, Tyla is an old friend of
CHAPTER NINETY TWO “What did she say?” Rina asked her mother. They had retired to her room, as the sitting room was still crowded due to the ongoing party. She didn't even get the chance to enjoy the party, it was from one bullshit to another. She was surprised to see her mother, as it had been a long time since they saw each other, and she was well aware that if her mother wanted something from her, she would call her. So seeing her here, she knew that whatever it was, it was very important. Her mother was a busy person and the fact that she came to meet her personally, meant that whatever it was, it was not something that could be discussed over the phone, but of all the thoughts that had ran through her head, the one she was hearing was the least of her expectations. Although she knew she would be back, she didn't think it was gonna be this soon, she thought she would at least wrap up the mission and go for a short vacation before she arrived. **Flashback** The woman
CHAPTER NINETY THREE The woods got darker, and although she knew they were safe, since it was close to the highway the federal government made sure to take out all the animals close by, to avoid them coming out and causing an accident,she couldn't help but fear. Every leaf rustle and every bird chirp only increased her fear She ran for a while and she decided to rest a little, as she needed it, but the moment she placed her head on one of the trees, she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes, it was already morning and the woods were bright, she was happy to see that they had not caught up to her. She took her backpack and continued on her journey. Danny would be back already and she would have sent out search parties for her, so she couldn't waste any time. She didn't bother to run this time, she just walked and in no time, she came out into the open. She discovered that she was in another city, and she was beyond joyed. She was really hungry, she hadn't thought of what she
CHAPTER NINETY FOURShe saw the way Veeda's eyes quivered and she thought she would leave her and run away but she was surprised when she saw that she stood her ground, shielding her more from the man. “You don't get to give me choices, Rina is my friend and if you want her, you'd have to go through me” she said with conviction and the man shrugged. “Well, if you say so” he walked towards them and when he was close enough, he tried to push her off but she landed a kick straight to where the sun never shines and the man winced as he held into his trousers while Veeda took Rina’s hand and they ran as fast as their legs could carry. They knew that if they made it to Rose, she would protect them. They were almost close when the man caught up to them. He flinged Veeda hard and she screamed at the top of her lungs “Mummy” and all the people there heard her. They turned to see what was happening and in no time, there was a crowd “What happened?” One man asked as he tried to raise her
CHAPTER 95 She told Danny that she would love to be enrolled in a taekwondo class and Danny agreed immediately. Her relationship with Danny seemed a bit rocky due to the way they had started, but seeing as she was the only surviving child of Danny, Danny made her her heir and as it stands now, if anything happens to Danny, the whole property becomes hers. Danny allowed her to visit Rose anytime she liked and she would stay for some time, but she would later return back, as that was their deal. **End of flashback** About two years ago, Danny had left, she had told her that she would be back in a little time, but after a year and no sign of her, Rina relaxed and let her guards down. She thought she wouldn't come back anytime soon, but it felt like her hopes had been cut short, she needed to see her, to know why she was here, why now? And what she wanted from her. They had a hell of a discussion pending. They were seated on one of the cushion and she rested her head on he
CHAPTER NINETY SIX Jake got to the house and he expected questions from the guards, as it was their usual routine but he was surprised when they let him in without any delay. He surmised that Esme had given them another command. He drove into the compound in his black Chevron and from the gate, he could see Esme standing outside, she wrapped herself with a shawl while she stared ahead. He sighed within him, why not stay inside if she was feeling cold? He thought within him. From the fierce look in her eyes, he could see that he was in for some argument or whatever. He parked his car at a corner of the compound and when he came down, he walked to her without wasting time. He wanted to see if he would be fast enough, so he could go make the food he had planned on making for Kate. “Hey” he greeted. She had warned him against calling her mum and he wasn't in the mood to pester her, so he kindly respected himself. Esme stared on for a while before walking and he followed behin
