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
CHAPTER NINETY SEVENI still remember how they promised that they would call me everyday to tell me how their day went and what not” she smiled “I didn't really believe it when they said that, but they surprised me, every blessed day, they would call me at night, or in the morning, whenever they were free. We would talk, laugh, joke around and whatnot” she smiled as she remembered those memories “We did this until they graduated and I got used to it. I took my mind off assigning and employing security details for them, and we were back to how we used to be before my husband died. My son's and I were back to normal, but I couldn't take chances. You can see the way security details crawl in and out of my house, the place’s so tight that a rat can not get in without getting sniffed out” she paused for a while. By now, they were already at the back of the house, close to the garden. “You know, when I didn't get a call from my son for about a week, I knew something was wrong but I w
CHAPTER NINETY EIGHT “What do you think I mean? I was on my own, the safety of my family being the only thing on my mind, but you and those stupid acquaintances of yours chose the wrong person to toy with, and now it's my turn to call the shots here. You time has passed, and now, mine has just started” “I told you Esme, it was just temporary, what the hell have you done? Or what the hell are you about to do? Permit me to inform you that whatever you do would only end up putting your son in more danger. Just a little time and we'll be done with our shit and we'll pack out and leave you and your family the hell alone. How many times do I have to remind you about that?” Jake ran his hand through his hair with the gun still in his hand. “And which son were you talking about earlier?” Jake heard and from the side of his eyes, he saw someone come out through the side door and his jaw almost fell, lo and behold, it was the real Jak
