Robert wasn't there yet and Karina scoffed. It was past forty-five minutes. She decided to call him and tell him she was leaving the shop already since she already got the coffee she wanted. Karina heard a shot outside the coffee shop and she panicked."Are you okay Miss?" One of her guards asked."Yeah, but we need to leave." Karina said. This was still the place she was abducted and even though she still comes for the coffee. She didn't feel too excited anymore."No Miss we can't leave until we're sure it's safe outside." One of the guards said."Okay." Karina nodded. She picked up her phone and dialed Robert's number. "You know you're really annoying dad." Karina said as soon as the call got connected."Hello, Miss." She heard another man say."Who are you?" Karina asked. "This man was just shot a few seconds ago." The man replied."Oh my God. Dad!" Karina said disconnecting the call she knew the incident was just outside or close by so she ran out of the coffee shop and her gu
Robert's mind flashed to a figure but he didn't want to believe it. Why would that person want him dead?"Dad?" Karina called out."I... Am not really sure but...""But what?" Karina asked. "Three days ago, Albert and his mother I overheard them talking." Robert said."About? Killing you?" Karina asked with a frown. "No." *Cough *cough*"Am so sorry dad, am being insensitive. You just woke up when you're a lot stronger you can tell me about it." Karina said with a sigh. "How are you feeling Mr Brantley?" The doctor asked. "I feel a lot of pain. Especially in the place I was shot." Robert replied. "That's normal, in time it would heal I would give you some pain killers and you need to rest." The doctor said."Dad, I'll be going home now." Karina said forcing a smile."Okay, I'll see you soon I hope." Robert said."Yeah." Karina nodded. Dalia picked up her phone and saw her husband's bodyguard calling. "What is it?" She asked. "Ma'am, someone shot Mr Brantley." "What? How the
The bartender did as Yeager ordered and gave the duo their drinks."Wait let me take this." Kendra said walking away with her phone. Before she returned Yeager had already spited her drink with an aphrodisiac. Kendra sat down and Yeager offered her her drink."Your drink." He said with a smile."Thank you." "Who was that?" Yeager asked referring to the phone call."Oh it was my friend." Kendra replied."Is she coming?" Yeager asked."No, she just wanted to ask if am feeling better." Kendra replied."Are you?" Yeager asked like he cared. "Am not really sure." Kendra replied taking a sip from the drink. "Mm." Kendra sighed. "So what's this with you and your husband?" Yeager asked. "I don't want to talk about him. He is a douchebag." Kendra said."I see, so he is the kind of typical husband isn't he?" Yeager asked. "I guess.""You know that's why I remain single." Yeager said."You're quite a catch why? You don't want to commit to any woman?" Kendra asked. "The one I love broke
Charles remembered Kendra snubbing him when he introduced himself as the man she had a night stand with. "But you acted like you didn't know me?" Charles asked."I was just hoping you'd give up and forget about it. I knew it was you but I was hoping my past wouldn't come haunt me." Kendra said with a sigh. "How can I forget when I have proof of Theodore's real identity and also the fact that you're the woman from that night?" Charles asked. "I just didn't want to forget you and our son. For years I just hoped. I just hoped you'd leave Robert." Charles said with a sigh."I didn't want to, I thought maybe... Maybe our family could be whole besides that's what my parents wanted." Kendra said."But I guess I should have chosen what I really wanted and not what my parents wanted or what people thought. Besides I didn't know who you were back then." Kendra said."You shouldn't let anyone dictate for you." Charles said. "You're right.""So speaking of which what are you trying to archive
Dalia called out to the priest but got no reply. "Is anyone there?" Dalia asked. "Dalia." She heard a spooky voice call out. "Who's there?" Dalia asked.Then she heard a sinister laughter. Dalia became slightly scared. "Who are you show yourself and how do you know my name?" Dalia asked. "It's me, it's your very good friend. Am all around you." She heard Kendra's voice.Dalia saw a lot of Kendra's. It was a hologram but since it was getting dark it felt real like a ghost. Besides she was in a church."Ah!!!" Dalia screamed. "You, what the hell are you doing here this is the house of God?" Dalia asked. "And you Dalia do you deserve to be in the house of God? Why did you kill me?" Kendra asked the holograms nearing her. Dalia involuntarily took a step back. "You bitch stay away from me. I said stay away. You're such a bitch. You're dead now you're just a ghost." Dalia yelled. "Oh am I really?" Kendra asked. "Dalia there's something I want and it's to take you with me." Kendra
Theodore was really sorry, and deep down he wanted to hug her and tell her he'll always love her but he didn't want to. Doing that might just attract his enemies to her and he didn't want that to happen. He loves her too much. "Am sorry I didn't come visit but I was busy. And besides Janelle... Am not your boyfriend." Theodore said. "Theo...""If you don't have anything else to say you can leave." Theodore said. "No, I still have something to say, what really happened after that day at the hospital?" Janelle asked. "Janelle, this is for your own good. It's better we don't see each other anymore. As a matter of fact I don't love you anymore so please don't push it." Theodore said coldly. But deep down it was like arrows piercing his heart. "I see, Theodore. Please you don't have to worry about me getting hurt in a crossfire." Janelle said holding his hands. Theodore separated his hands from hers. "All the more reason why I have to worry. Well Miss Ryder I have work to do. Pleas
Karina had a smile on her face. She had a plan in mind and Belle's birthday was the perfect thing to make her plans a reality. And with Belle saying 'Yes' she was more than elated. "Miss Karina don't listen to Belle she is just a kid she doesn't know what she's saying." Becky said."I will listen to her and don't upset the little girl, she wants to come over to my house for her birthday party tomorrow so let her. Am going to order a dress for her tomorrow and a tiara." Karina said thinking about a lot of things. "Miss Karina you don't have to do all this." Becky said."Don't worry, if you don't want me doing this for Belle then how about I do it for me. Am doing this for my own benefits. Belle is a natural charmer and am sure she would do well at the party tomorrow." Karina said with a smile."You sure about that? I don't want my daughter to embarrass you." Becky said."Nonsense, am inviting some close friends of mine tomorrow. Go help nanny in the party's preparations tomorrow. It
Theodore sighed. He wanted to stay with his mother tomorrow and get his mind off things but he had to be there for Karina he owes her as much. "Okay I'll see you tomorrow." Theodore finally said. "I love you." Karina said."I love you too." "Oh hey I want you to get a gift." Karina reminded."What gift?" Theodore asked."A birthday present." "For whom?" Theodore asked with a frown. "For a little girl." Karina replied. "A little girl? Are you trying a role-play or what?" Theodore asked. "Just get a nice gift for a little girl." Karina said. "But how do I know the little girl's preference? How do I know what the little girl would like?" Theodore asked. "Just buy something pretty okay?" Karina said. "Fine, I'll do it.""I'll see you tomorrow." Theodore said disconnected the call. He wondered what Karina was up to making him buy a gift and for a little girl too? Well he would just buy what Karina used to love as a kid and that's a headband.She had always loved wearing one but
