Back at the Southern part of Emerald Hill, 8 year old Becca walked over to the door as she kept hearing a loud bang on the door. She said a feminine figure outside their house, knocking hard on the door. “Aunty!” She yelled then her aunty rushed over to her. “Go back to your room, baby.” Vera said and as the little girl went upstairs, she turned and walked over to the door. As she opened the door, her mouth fell wide open. “Oh my God.” She exclaims, her eyes glaring down at her sister who had a swollen face, was covered in blood and different wounds all over her body. What the hell happened to her? She looked like she had been attacked by a dinosaur or a coyote “Hey sis.” Was all Sophia could say as she staggered and limped into the house. “Careful… your nose… it's bleeding.” Sophia didn't listen, she simply walked to the bathroom and shut the door behind her. When she was done, she walked out and stared at herself in the mirror. She raised her neck, glaring at the wou
Sara swallowed hard and placed her hand on Derek's and was about standing from her seat when Byron held her still.“Just kill me! Because that's the only way you can have her!” Byron thundered!Lincoln and the rest darted their eyes to Byron then to Derek who had a soft smile on his face.“No, I wouldn't soil my hands with your dirty blood. I'd have Sara do that for me.” Derek smirked, letting go of Sara's hand as it seems Byron wouldn't want it the easy way. It was best to give him the hard way.“Sara, what's this?” Byron asked Sara who was struggling to free herself from his hold.“Reality! Now let go of me!” Sara demanded with a frown even though her tears never stopped rolling down her cheeks.“What?” Byron tilted his head with a stunned expression, “Stop, okay? You wanna go with him?” Byron asked calmly.“Yes! Are you satisfied with my answer? Can you let me go now?!” She barked breathlessly.“Something is not right.” Tbaj said in a low voice.“I can tell too. Something is defini
“Hey, are you crying?” Derek asked Sara as they got into his car. She shook her head then replaced her sadness with a smile, “Of course not… the bastard deserves all what he got and more.” “That's the spirit. Oh, and hey…. My men are already searching the place for the cards. You did a great job.” Derek kissed her forehead as their car zoomed off. Her mind wandered off as the car moved. She wished she never got into that particular train when she did in the morning. She had a lot of regrets and pleading to charge her phone was the biggest regret she made. There was actually no good person on earth… And Byron must be seeing her as a bad person by now. - “Where are you taking us to?” Lincoln scowled, applying pressure to Byron's bleeding shoulder. “Yes, you could see my friend here is bleeding and needs to be taken to the hospital.” Sucre said, turning to look at the car behind the car they were in. Vanessa and Tbaj were in the car behind them, then other men were in the c
Vera stood at the corner of the door, overhearing the entire call Sophia made. And when Sophia was done, she was startled to see Vera standing close to her door.“What you're trying to do is illegal.” She uttered.Sophia placed her phone into her bag pack, “I just have some things to take care of. You don't need to worry.”Vera noticed the bag on Sophia's back… and her outfit. She was leaving them again…. But she just got here yesterday. She was probably going to see this person she just spoke with on the call. “Ever since mom died. You've become a shadow of your own self. From having Becca and leaving her here… and getting involved with these criminals.” Sophia ran her fingers through hair before moving close to Vera. “I guess I just do things because it's who I am….”Vera shook her head, “No… it's not… you used to be…”“This time… I have to make sure someone pays! I have been hurt too many times… I have to go…. But thank you, dear sis. For everything… for being you and taking care
“Don't fucking ask questions! Just fucking do as I've instructed, do you hear me?!” Drew barked, frustration evident on his face. He would be a dead man in ten minutes when the timer is off! And these fools are asking questions instead of doing their jobs! If only he could open his chest and tell them that they would be all blown to bits if this isn't carried out but that was going to put him in more trouble with Byron.“What? Do you want me to call the boss now and explain to him how you all are trying to discard and disobey his orders?!” Drew thundered.“Okay… relax… are you crying?” One of the men noticed Drew's eyes ask, concerned in his tone.Sucre resisted the urge of bursting out laughing. “Hold it in, Sucre… don't blow this up.” Byron whispers.“I'm trying..ha..” Sucre bit his lower lip, trying not to laugh. The situation was so fucking funny as he could see the bomb they set on Drew's chest was doing a great job. He must commend Byron for bringing out such brilliant ideas e
“If Byron's is in there….You can't get in!” Tbaj announced, his voice trembling.If both Byron and Sucre were in there, there is a big chance that are probably being cooked by that fire. Just by standing a few feets away, the heat was making his temperature higher than usual.“No, we have to get him!” Lincoln yelled on top of his lungs, his eyes dark with pain and bitterness! He was breathing heavily and sweating hard at the same time! “Shit… Byron! Can you hear me!” He shouted, trying to go over to the gate but the fire was almost brushed over him, but he was quick enough to dodge.He shook his head in frustration. But was determined to go get his cousin. The sight of how greatly the fire has spread across the entire place was to be questioned. Just a bomb couldn't do this! Something or someone definitely has a hand in this! “Don't! Lincoln, it's too dangerous! You wanna get your skin fried?!” Tbaj yells out, far from where he stood, still carrying an unconscious Vanessa in his ha
Lincoln didn't realize a car had stopped behind him when he was trying to pass through the gate to go back and look for Byron who was obviously still in the yard, probably getting cooked alive.The sound of the burning place and the fire made it impossible to hear the cars driving towards him, not until a bullet crashed on his right hand. As he turned, he saw Derek pointing his gun right at his face.There was no time to alert Tbaj, he had gotten to his car and was still being shot at when Lincoln himself was pushed into Derek's car. It was after Tbaj was smart enough to zoom off, that Derek walked over to him to ask for Byron's whereabouts.“Oh, he's in that burning yard?” Derek laughed, “Hahaha! Funny!” He said coldly.“You must really think I'm a fool to believe that.” Lincoln shook his head, “I don't think you're a fool, I know you're a bloody big time fool! I even heard you're 39, it's only a matter of one year until your foolishness becomes permanent!” Lincoln thundered, his e
“Ahhh.. ouch…” Sara cried.Not her stomach again! She had been protecting this one with her life. And now this monster wants to kill it before it even gets the opportunity to form in her stomach!“I'd kill you myself! Before you think of going back to that husband if yours, I'd gladly have your blood as wine!” He had a bloodthirsty look as he placed the broken bottle on her skin, slowly dragging it and cutting deep into her flesh.“No…” Sara whimpered as he cut her hands and her blood gushed out of her body.Enduring the pain; behind her, she placed her hand into her pocket, grabbing the pencil knife she placed there when she was leaving the warehouse. She knew dealing with Derek was a dangerous idea, but not being armed was a foolish idea.Without warning, she pulled and slid it across his cheek. Not satisfied with it, she raised her hand and stuck the knife into his chest.Derek gasped, “Shit!” He yelled as she stabbed him and tried to flee but he grabbed her by her legs. “Let me g
