“ My family! What has my family got to do with this?” Patrick asked“ You are still young and remember the life of your family depends on you,” David reminded.“You are speaking in a way I feel so hard to understand,” Patrick replied.“ Do not trust people so easily the same people that would force you to go will be the same people who want you dead,” David was sure of his words.“Which people are you talking about?” Patrick questioned but the was no answer.“Hello……hello…” he checked and the call was hanged.As he was meditating on why David would talk like that he saw Mr. Ninson calling“ This is strange , for the two to call him at the same time,” he answered it“ Hello Uncle,” for a long time in a while he addressed Mr. Ninson as his Uncle.“ This is so weird, why do you call me Uncle rather than Boss?” Mr. Ninson asked with a wryly smile.“ I’m sorry about that Boss,” Patrick apologized.“Its been a while I heard from you after the death of your Boss Dragon, how have you been?” M
“ What is wrong with her?” Patrick asked“I really don't know what's wrong with her but she has been complaining of no feeling well for days now,”replied Patrick's sister“Have you been taking to the hospital? She needs to see a doctor,”Patrick suggested“How do I get out of here? Who is even going to help me?” Patrick sister said with tears flowing down her cheeks“It's fine I will handle this I'll make sure I take her to the hospital,” Patrick assured.‘I don't want to go to the hospital,”his mother finally spoke up.“What'!you should not say that you need to see a doctor,”Patrick replied“I am fine!I am going to be fine so you don't need to worry about it that,” mother saidPatrick was surprised at his mother's attitude it was strange he took her mother and placed her head on his laps she felt her mother's face with sweats he had a clear look and saw tears flowing down her mother's eyes he became worried and asked why she was crying was she in pain that's much better“No I am fine
“What!” Patrick Exclaimed David was confused…“No I don’t think is what am thinking,” “What do you mean by that? Who would do such a thing to my mother?” Patrick held David’s collar.“ Calm down,” the doctor said.“ No! Don’t tell me to calm down!” Patrick yelled.David rushed outside and drive off to Mr. Ninson’s place.He walked straight to his room and saw him laying on the bed going through his phone“ How dare you barged into my room?” asked Mr. Ninson“Tell me you didn’t do!” Patrick breathed heavily.“ What do you mean!” Mr. Ninson questioned.“The woman you raped….. Do you know who it was?” David asked.“Its in the past and I don’t want to talk about it,” Mr. Ninson replied.“You really did not try! How could you do that to such an innocent woman?” David said disappointed.“which woman are you talking about?” Asked Mr. Ninson.“The woman you raped was your brother’s wife!” David asked.“Huh!” Exclaimed Mr. Ninson.“ Yes! You just did! And am very disappointed in you,” Dav
1999 - OSU“Alfie run, they’re coming. Don’t let them see you!!” his mum exclaimed.“But I can’t leave you mum, they’ve already killed dad. If I leave, they will kill you too! and small sister and baby Rona!” Alfie shouted back to his mother. He couldn’t bare leaving his mother to perish under the mercy of these men, whoever they were and for whatever reason why they were raiding his family. They had already shot his father and set his house on fire. Now they were after his mother, and he was pretty sure they would come after him next.Fortunately for him, they had no idea his little sisters were hiding in the kids’ room upstairs. So if only he could make it to them, he would lock the door and stay with them there, hope and pray they won’t be found by the men and the fire will not burn them to ashes. He wiped his tears and got ready to move. He stumbled over his dead cousin, Richie; who was stabbed by one of the men. He clenched his fist at the sight and continued his mission unt
CHAPTER 2“Let her go”. Coming from a man who thinks he can just barge in his mansion and interfere in his business. This moment was his, everyone was at his beck and call. He was controlling this enormous crowd. He was the only source of authority in this hall and even Claribel’s family could not stand against him for molesting their daughter. Why then would a strange man have the audacity to command him? Does he not know him? Have he not heard of Frederic of the Great Five Family? Does he not know he can make his life miserable within a twinkle of an eye? Who even gave him the permission to enter the this mansion?“I said let her go!” the man growled again. Frederic was astonished as to how this man had the nerve to talk to him like that. “Who are you and how dare you talk to me in that manner?” he decided to question him. For the past thirty(30) years of his life, he had been the centre of authority in every place he found himself. His father, the most powerful man in their c
The weather was very sunny today. The rainy season was over and the harmattan was lingering in the air. It will be Christmas soon. The sun was so bright and everything seem to come alive. The grass surrounding the environment was so green and animals, including the birds, insects and the mammals all seem to match the energy of the sun. White, fluffy clouds drifted across the clear, blue sky, whiles the sun kept on casting a radiant shine. Everything seem to be still and at peace, everything seem to be alive.The atmosphere looked like it had a connection with Claribel’s life. As she looked through the glass windows of Alfie’s great villa, she realised how the weather had been in tune with her life. During her dark days, when she was being tortured by Frederic, the weather always seemed to be gloomy, it was always dark and rainy. She remembered how the sky was cloudy and dark when Frederic nearly married her to a pauper; that she prayed fervently that there would be a very heavy d
Danger was setting in. He had to act fast. It was clear that Dragon General purposely came for him, to end his rule, to end him.It was not as if he could not handle that soldier. He had dealt with people stronger, powerful and energetic than he is. Everyone was afraid of him, everyone cowered when it came to him, he had every authority and power he needed to proceed in destroying Dragon General ; but his father.His problem at the moment was his father. His father had always supported him when it came to his evil deeds. In fact, he was his only motivation. When it came to killing and torture, his father had destroyed and murdered many people than he, Frederic had even done. His father had a heart of ice and showed no mercy to anyone who crossed his path. Even in his old age now, he had accomplices who continued doing his dirty works for him. He was a Mafia, and Mafias never fold.So for his father to actually tell him to stop dealing with a man who disgraced his entire dignity an
The plan was to first eliminate the guards at the main gate of the villa, extract the keys to the CCTV room, poison the wild dogs and move straight to the CCTV compartment to disconnect the installation. If they were lucky to meet no other guard, some of them would climb the building via a rope already provided for them to Alfie’s room. Whoever gets the chance to do so takes him unaware, battles with him and kill him. For now, Claribel was not in the picture, the moment Alfie is gone she will be easier to capture.The pressure and the silence in the van was so heavy that one could literally hear a pin drop. Everyone was lost in his own dilemma of thoughts. Everybody’s fate was going to be decided tonight. It was a do or die situation and the probability of getting the wrong side of the coin was very high. The only thing that kept their hopes up was the fact that they felt they had a plan and Alfie was unaware of their coming so they will catch him off guard without his weapons; n

Tan threatened.The maid ignored him and left his sight Tan wondered if she was the one holding the copy of the project.“ Tan..” Patrick called “ Patrick you called me.” Tan replied.“ Yes. Where have you been?” Patrick asked “ I have been around.” Tan answered.“ there is something I need to ask you since you were the last person that left with Alfie to the barracks.”. Patrick said.“ Okay am all ears.”. Tan was ready to hear him out.“ Did you hear Dragon talk about working in a project?” Patrick asked.“ A project?” Tan questioned.“ Yes. I have been told he was working on a project before his untimely death and I need to find out where this project is.” Patrick said.“ Really then am not aware of that” Tan replied.“ Okay thank you I need you to help me find this projec
Tan wondered where the copy of the project could be? He went straight to Patrick’s room to xhe k if he was around since he was the only person he needed to look out for before he had that Patrick was not around when he got there..” Great.”. He mumbled and rushed upstairs.Looking around to see how safe the place was he bumped into one of the maids who was coming from Dragons room.“ What are you doing here?” She asked.“ What are you also doing here?”. Tan questioned.“ I cam two clean up the place. what about you?” she asked.“ I came to check up on something.” Replied Tan.“ That is a lie “. The maid replied “Then tell me what the truth is if what am saying is a lie!” Tan glared “ It’s fine. “the maid replied and left him.He watched her leave the place for him to have a clear mind for what he was going forHe went straight to Dragons locker opened ut and found many papers he went through all of him but could not find the copy of the file he was looking for he closed it and mov
“ I would like to take my leave.”. Patrick said and finished his coffee before leaving.His idea to find Claribel with Frederick did not go as he thoughts finally he concluded that Claribel was not with him he left the house.Well what's he going to do He needed to inform his other partners about this.How was the senior maid going to take he went inside the car and drove off to office. He got to the he could not come out of the car because he had no explanation to give to the senior maid. He was in the car for almost 20 minutes when he heard a knock on the car glass.“Why are you here Is everything all right at the senior mate. He said this is really difficult for me to say Patrick replied .You can confide in me just tell me what's the problem the senior maid asked . There is a big problem, I should have listened to you when you said the man informed you to leave this place with Claribel to your village.I was so stubborn and selfish I thought I could only make the decision for Cl
“. Is that how you welcome your brother?” Patrick asked with a smirk“. And since when did you start classifying yourself as my brother !We are not brothers We are just cousins.” Frederick replied “I never knew there was a difference between you be my cousin and you be my brother anyways that is what you think to me you are a brother.” Patrick said “What do you want Patrick!?”. Frederick questioned.“ You are still bossy as you have been always. must you welcome your cousin or brother in this way? Don't you need to offer me a seat and a coffee as you are taking?” Patrick asked.“ I don't give my coffee out! you tell me what you want or you leave this place Frederick replied in a disrespectful tone.“. Must i always remember you that I'm far older than you I remember how you were born so little, I was part of the people that took care of you in the absence of your mother and I am still doing my duty of taking care of you I have considered you in so many words as my brother and thin
“Everyone here in this hospital must be insane!What do you mean you've not set eyes on Claribel? she was left in your custody! I give you 24 hours to presents her else I'm going to shut this whole place down!” Patrick threatened with red and teary eyes.“ what has come over you I have asked you to calm down The police are going to handle everything ! investigation is going to take place. So what is wrong with you?! You need to calm down.” Dr Leo try to convince him but Patrick was at the peak. He was not going to listen to what anyone has to say He opened the door and left the hospital on his way to his car He saw Juvena coming from the gate. She was smiling as she had seen him but Patrick had lost focused his concern was not on whoever was coming from the gate his focus was Claribel who was no where to be found. He noted and rushed out of the compound Juvena was worried. Patrick's action was kind of weird to her She has not heard from him ever since she left the hospital for a
“ What are you saying?” Patrick questioned.“ Can you come over to the hospital as soon as possible?” Dr Leo asked.“ Are you trying to say Claribel is no way to be found?” Patrick questioned.“ exactly I have looked everywhere for her and she is no way to be found?” Replied Dr. Leo.“What of her personal nurse Is she not around?” Patrick questioned.“ I don't think I can explain things to you on the phone.
