Emma struggled violently against the car handle trying to free herself by all means there was no way she was going to be staying in here till he drove her to God knows when.Rufus cast a glance backward and relished the sight of her making a fuss. "I told you not to injure yourself. You don't want to be caught doing this. You're too fine to be doing all of that." She felt like slapping him hard across the face because he was speeding at an insane level that made her blood pressure also rise. Her blood pressure was almost hitting the roof and all that she could think of was the fact that there was probably someone trying to kill her too. "Antonio got you to work against me because I didn't agree to leave my husband alone huh? You're just a pathetic soul who is using that as an avenue for his madness and yes, I would make sure that you lose your life when I get free. I would tell the whole world your atrocities!" Emma spat still, yanking the cuffs. Her hand began to bleed yet she di
Estelle paced in Silas' room when she heard that Emma was kidnapped by the one and only Rufus. "I knew that man was bad news. Emma and seeing the good in people. Of all people to mix with, she went ahead to choose him?" "That is insane. I can't even stomach what that would mean right now. I can't imagine what she would be going through right now." She muttered aggressively as she wandered through the room.There was no need for Silas to join the conversation if he knew that he was not going to contribute anything tangible. All he should have been after was to make sure that he got her out of that calamity..Emma was too precious to go through that. "I knew something was wrong when she hesitated. I hope you have not told Leonard?" "No, I've not. I don't know what he would do if he heard the news but I guess he still has the right to know." Estelle shrugged and ran her hands down her hair to stop the worry that she felt. "Are you sure that you're not going to restrain from telling hi
Emma struggled against Rufus' hold when he kept dragging her toward the place he was taking her to. Although she had lived in this city for the greater part of her life she had never been here before. She was pissed by the way that she was being pulled like a cart."Do you know that you can just let me walk and we'll still get there?" She complained as she tried to observe the landmarks so that it would help her when she was about to leave. There was nothing stopping her from doing what she should have done all these while. "I see you and I hate that you think that you can outsmart me Emma, just accept your fate." Emma sighed and allowed him to drag her along whilst still taking notes. It was until they entered a bushy arena that she knew that there was a problem. It was an expanse filled with land and there was no one to turn to and ask for help. It was so crazy that all she had to do was to turn her head and behold the mess that she was about to fall into. "Are you kidding me ri
Leonard groaned when he heard the news. It was Estelle who broke it to him. She couldn't keep on lying to him whenever she visited. He deserved to know what was happening and that was why she told him "I warned her not to dally with this guy. It was something that I could see coming. Didn't you know the man that was terrorizing the neighborhood when we were younger. That was his father. There was every high chance that he would turn out that way because children are perfect emulators." He turned around in search of Ava. "Where is Ava at? I hope she's not with Sophie?" "No, she's not. I'm just trying to let her lay low. She's at Silas' place. Although, I don't think we are still together anymore." Leonard stroked his few days old beard. His sister was the epitome of a self sabotaging queen. She lived for it. "You are the one at fault this time. That man worships the ground you walk on and doesn't ask me how. I see the way he looks at you but you're always thinking that it's the opp
Sophie landed softly at the airport, she was determined to make something out of her life with or without Emma's input. Emma was not yet found so she used this opportunity to run away. By the time she would be found, she would not have to confess anymore. After reading that her confession could earn her some time in jail she ran away. As soon as she got to the checkpoint, she tendered her passport and watched the officer open her back gently. It was termed safe so it went to the other tarmac. She tendered all the other documents and it became a long wait. As they placed the scanner on her forehead, she heard a beep. That made her jump in fright, for all she knew, she wasn't carrying anything that could have warranted it but right now, she was feeling weird.A lot of people on the line also shot her wicked stares which made her feel very ashamed. "Ma'am, please wait over there." She stood her ground, she wasn't going to move an inch, especially not after she had wasted too much time
Emma woke up in a strange room and jumped immediately she saw her arch nemesis sitting on a bench with his leg on a stool. She thought that she had been saved. "H-how did you...?" She stuttered, unable to form words. "You need not to worry, I am happy about your consciousness but I'll wait for a while before I decide what to do with you. Did you think that you could escape me? That's totally impossible. I escaped because they were too weak to know that I was just pulling their legs. I didn't have any gun like I promised but they didn't need to know that though." My heart thumped loudly as I thought of the damage that he must have caused those people. How did someone just determine to be wicked? Was he trying to prove a point or something? "I don't follow. You said that we were going cross country right? Why are we suddenly not doing that anymore?" Rufus shrugged nonchalantly with a small smile playing on his lips. "Well, my darling, we don't always get what we want right? So I thin
Sophie was stupefied when she saw her name printed and labeled a wanted criminal. This wasn't possible at all. She was being set up. "This is a set up. I can't believe that you fall for all of these? Who can't know that this is all a farce? How can I be a wanted criminal and be walking around? Does it even make any sense to you?" She replied and they stared at her morosely. She was feeling a bit agitated but that didn't stop the annoyance that coursed through her veins. "I can't seem to understand why you are all looking for allegations where there are none. Isn't it obvious that there is absolutely nothing wrong with me? If I was a criminal, my goodness I wouldn't be left to roam." She tried to explain but they kept staring at her. The remorse she felt for not abusing that guy suddenly vanished. He was more than deserving of it. The captain stared at her. There was no way that he would accept or allow her to leave without handing over to the proper authorities. "You can't leave
Estelle, along with Silas and the little girl Ava stepped into the hospital, each one including Ava buried in their thoughts regarding Emma who was lying unconscious in the intensive care unit where she had been for some time already. Ava couldn’t help but look around anxiously and with an expression of concern on her face, Silas could only wonder what was going on in her mind, she was too little to be going through any of what was happening, it was not normal or at all okay for any five year old to go through any of that and he wasn’t even glad that he had to be a part of it in any way. But there was not much he could do, the only thing he could do was what he was doing now, he then looked at Estelle, his expression hardened a bit, and even though he felt he had a lot to say, he decided not to say anything and just remained silent until he had met with the doctor who then led them to where they would see Emma. But that was all they could do, see her, they could not go in and talk
