Speaking about an escape plan, Clara wasn't sure of where she was, she didn't know anyone here, most importantly, she was very weak and didn't see herself being able to stand anytime soon, so she didn't understand what he meant.With the cold that seeped into her skin from the onslaught of the cold water, she was forced to remain in a fetal position as she tried to beat the cold. Her lips chattered violently, and she wondered who she had offended that was taking such vengeance from her. No one came to mind.“ Good morning, dear Clara. How did you think it possible that you would set my brother up and go scot-free?” The familiar voice spoke and she froze.Shivers ran down her spine as she thought of what that meant, Terrence was going to kill her. It was Daniel who figured him out. This time she was very helpless.“ You are helpless at a time like this, look around you.” He said and pointed all around, and Clara didn't have any choice to obey and look around.“ There's no one to save
The Next Day, She snuggled into the corner of the room that was a little warm, she was a blubbering mess, and she knew that if she didn't find warmth soon, she might die of cold quicker than she died of his gun or sword. She rested her head on the wall and began to pant from the energy expended in moving that little distance. She tried to stretch her limbs but was unable to.Her back ached, and what wouldn't she give for a dose of pain relief to help with the pain.Her thighs ached, she couldn't move without hearing the cracking of muscles, that was evidence that she had sat in one position for too long.But she also knew she was risking muscle atrophy, so she forced herself to move her legs again and a loud crack resonated throughout the air. She was thirsty, her throat was like a lonely desert road, she had cried throughout the night, and now she didn't know what to do anymore.She didn't hear any footsteps or traces that a living being dwelt in this place with her. She didn't mo
“ What mark?” Terrence swiveled, and Clara pointed at his arm, “ That mark, it's a birthmark, right?” She asked to confirm that she was right. “ Yes?” Clara placed a hand over her mouth," where did you get it from?” She asked, and Terrence stared at her. “ My mother.” He humored her and she gasped louder. “ No, it can't be, it must be a coincidence. I can't wrap my head around it. I can't…" “ Hey, will you keep quiet and make me understand what you are on about?" Terrence snapped, he was already in a foul mood and was very annoyed that she was performing drama.“ My mother has this exact same mark. According to her, it's rare and only found in special children. It's a clover shape like yours.” Clara said in awe as she scanned the familiar mark.“ You are my relative.” “ Was this a trick to get her to be freed, if it was then, she was making a great mistake.He threw his head back and laughed so hard that he felt like pissing on himself. He knew that she was smart, but didn't e
“He isn't on seat, you can call back later, sir.” A female voice replied, she was probably the secretary to Rufus.Pops was annoyed, he knew that Rufus was probably in a meeting, but the lady did not give a chance for him to even ask about it further. “So, when will he be around? I mean, what time will he be on seat?” Pops asked him, getting through to Rufus had always been a great feat right from time. It didn't matter who you were or what position you held, Rufus only attended to people whenever it pleased him.“ I can't say, sir. Kindly call back to check on him.” She replied and he sighed.This lady was very rude, does it mean that she didn't know who he was, probably her boss' attitude had rubbed off on her which was very bad. He was sure that she wasn't as made as Rufus was.“I know he's not on seat but I want his direct number.” He replied.“ I can't give it to you, sir, I can only know that he's not on seat currently and it's not receiving visitors at the moment either.” She
Two hours ago, Elaine touched down at the cell. It was almost two days, and she heard that Henry hadn't been released from the cell, so she decided to go there physically. It wasn't the first time that police officers tried to undermine her authority, so she had no problems putting them in their place.After trying various things, she came to the conclusion that all she needed was a little doze or craziness to show them who is boss.When she entered the lobby, she removed her ID card. “ Barrister Knight, I'm here to see my client whom you detained against the law.” They stood at alert and she smiled. She loved people who belittled female lawyers because of the mentality that they were blockheads who needed to be put in their place every time without failure.“ Take me to your boss.” She said, and they scampered around.“ He's not on seat ,” they lied, and she smiled. Did they think that she was daft? If they did, then they had another thing coming for them.“ Don't make me lose my c
Henry's heart was in his throat when he saw the large truck approaching them, and they couldn't do anything.“ Press the brake pad!” He screamed.“ It's broken!” Elaine replied, and without warning, the large truck collided with their car.Boom! She felt the impact of the hit, luckily Elaine had remembered to press the emergency button, and their faces were pressed into the balloon.The truck continued driving, and soon they discovered what was happening, someone was driving them into a ditch.“ Can you hear me?” Elaine asked Henry. “Yeah.” He mumbled quietly, his head was still reeling from the impact of the hit. How he managed to be alive still baffled him? When he heard the crash, he had concluded that he was dead. The truck pushed their car again, and it gave a grunted sound," What do we do?” She asked as the car took a step back.“ You are bleeding.” She pointed at his head and he shrugged," We need to get out of here.” She said. The only source of escape was squashed and the
Pops paced the corridor where Elaine and Henry lay, he barely slept a wink last night, and he had to stay awake today again. Fast-forward to three hours earlier, he was still on the phone trying to bargain with Clara's kidnapper to let her go. He was willing to pay a ridiculous amount so that she could be free. Little did he know that another hazard was taking place at the bridge. If he had known, he would have asked her to allow him to stay there for a while until he was done.He dialed Rufus' number again, but it didn't go through as usual. Instead, he was redirected to his secretary, who didn't mind pissing him off as usual.“Mr. Rufus isn't on seat.” She said, and he was annoyed, was this a repeat of yesterday? If he knew that he wasn't going to help him, why was he raising his hopes high.“ Remind him about my agreement” He said.“I will sir.” She replied, and he stopped himself from groaning out loud. Caine rose gently," I think you need to rest, you've been awake since yester
“ Captain?” He asked, to be sure that he was hearing the correct voice m," Is that really you?” He asked again, and he looked at Pops. He never expected that he would ever speak to him again in this world.“ Where did you go all this while?” He asked in surprise, a bit of curiosity also laced his tone. The Captain laughed at Caine's inquisitiveness," Caine, ever the inquisitive man. I was somewhere, I think you should be happy that I am alive and well,” He replied. “ I am so surprised to hear your voice, it's almost like a dream.” Caine said.“ Well, it's not, believe that I am here and let's see what can be done. Word is circulating that you are wanted by the Force, how true is that?” He asked.Caine shook his head, that meant that he was in real shit," I need your help.” He said.“ Who would have thought that a day like this would come?” The captain asked sarcastically. “ If you try your best to be serious, then I can know what to say.” Caine replied in a matching tone," You'll
