Rise of The Outcast Chapter 96
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

CHAPTER NINETY NINE Owen sighed as he fell on the cushion, the party had ended and all the guests had left. Some who were scared to return home by that time of the day decided to take shelter in his home and they were given rooms for the night. The party was successful, he didn't think it would be this great as it was not properly planned, it was a dying minute invitation and he didn't expect most of those guests to attend, but they ended up surprising him. Although it was stressful as hell, he really appreciated their efforts. He knew this celebration wouldn't have been easy without Rina and Mia and he had a lot of thanks to share, but right now, he was glad it had ended and he needed to take a minute or so to rest his throbbing head. He closed his eyes for a minute but he couldn't manage to find rest. Something was missing, and he knew what it was. He needed Rina and he shook his head before standing up to go look for her. His head was calm right now and he would try his b

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED Owen saw that she was on the verge of giving in, so he made a solemn expression and Rina sighed before giving in. “Ok, but you'll promise to call me if you get lonely” she said and Rose chuckled “Oh, yes I will” she said as she gave her a tight hug. “I'll be on my way now, the guards are waiting for me” she told Rina who nodded her head and let go of her hand. She watched Rose leave the hallway and when she was gone, she walked into her room, leaving the door ajar. Owen saw the way she left the door and he took that as an invitation. He let himself in and his eyes searched the room where he saw her shadow, she stood at the balcony and he could see the way the cool air carried her hair around. He walked to her and stood about a few feets away from her. He didn't know where to start from, he knew the image she saw earlier was clear enough and he didn't know how to have a decent conversation with he

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND ONE Maria had just finished speaking with Kate on the phone, she had managed to calm her down after some time and now, she knew she had to do something. She dialed Esme's number and it didn't go through at first, she sighed before trying again and it went through the second time, she was relieved. “Good evening Esme, hope I'm not disturbing?” Maria asked and Esme replied “No you're not, I was even having trouble sleeping, I could use the company” Esme lied through her teeth “You're having trouble sleeping, why?” Maria asked, trying to act concerned even though she was not interested in whatever it was. “Well, stuff and stuffs “ she chuckled lightly “But I do not think you actually called to know if I was asleep or not, so what's it? Why did you call?” Esme asked and Maria took that as a cue to stop asking questions and go straight to business. “Uhmm, Is Jake with you?

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWO “Wake up” Jake heard someone say. His sight was blurry and the sounds came in huge waves. He wondered where he was as his brain couldn't gather enough details to match with his current situation. He couldn't feel his legs and his hands felt as if they were tied or something. He struggled to free his hands but his efforts were in vain because it felt as if the more he struggled, the more the hands tightened. “He's waking up” He heard someone say, But he couldn't see who was talking. The whole place was dark, he shut his eyes and opened them again, but it was still the same thing. Slowly, he became fully conscious and the memories started to pour in. He remembered how he was with Kate when his mother called him, down to where the stupid guard knocked him out. He cursed under his breath, he knew Kate would be worried about him. He realized the weight of his situation. The real Jake was back and now, they ha

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THREE “Arghhhh” Mario screamed as he felt the hot iron on his chest for the umpteenth time. ‘These people were demons’ he thought in his mind. He had given them every piece of information that would have been important to him, but they were still hellbent on knowing who he was working with, and he was not ready to tell them anytime soon. His chest hurt, but he wasn't going to give them the satisfaction they needed. He knew it wouldn't be long again, they would let him go as they wouldn't want to kill him. “Who do you work with? I ask again” the man asked again and Jaje smirked “Is that all you got?” He asked the man with a cock of his brows and the man sighed. He had tried all means possible to hear an answer from Mario's mouth, but it seemed like the guy was not willing to give him any more information. “Just one simple answer and we wouldn't have to go through all these processes. But you are t
