"I don't know, but I'm not going to let them catch up to us. Mason gripped the steering wheel tightly, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror. "Hold on, Precious. This guy's not giving up."Precious's voice was laced with panic. "Mason, what's going on? Why are they chasing us?"Mason's jaw clenched. He swerved into another lane, the tires screeching in protest. The car behind them followed suit, its driver determined to keep up."Mason, please be careful!" Precious cried, her hands bracing herself against the dashboard.Mason's eyes darted back and forth, searching for an escape route. "I am, I am. Just hang on."He sped up, weaving in and out of lanes, the car behind them hot on their heels. Precious's panic turned to fear, her breath coming in short gasps."Mason, we're going to crash! Please stop!"Mason's face set in a determined expression. "Not until we lose this guy."He took a sharp turn, the tires squealing in protest. The car behind them struggled to keep up, its driver curs
“Ma'am this isn't about me naming my price or not. This is about my integrity and the trust everyone in this hospital has for me.” She turned her face to the other side of the window while still trying to reconsider all what Anna has said to her. Anna coughs one more time, “ please, nurse I know I've put you through a lot but at the same time I really need to speak to my mother before it is to late.” She pleaded with her. “If you truly want to speak with her then call her. Pick up your phone and call her. Or, do you still need my assistance to do that?” She rolled her eyes feeling irritated by her order. “Gosh! How else do you want me to beg you before you grant me this one last request? I really need to see my mum before anything happens.”“Anything? Ma'am, incase you've forgotten your man almost disfigured my face. Do you want him to kill me before you let me be? Do you want him to kill me before you see that I'm being serious here?” She cried out to her showing her the mark that
Anna's mum ignored the cry of the poor nurse who had earlier complained to her about her pushing her absurdly. She rushed over to Anna's side and started running her hands over her face down to her legs. “Did anyone hurt you? Where you treated in a harsh way? What exactly happened to you?” She held unto her face so tight with her eyes tearing up. “Mum, nothing happened to me at all I just needed to confide in you about something crucial.”“What exactly do you want to talk to me about that you didn't share it with me when I was here.” She looked at her with a weird face. “I…I…didn't even thougt about seeking your advice when you showed up and that's probably because I never thought not imagined to call you back.”Anna's mum scoffed out loud, “You've always been indecisive. Or, could it be because you missed me that much? Oh! No, don't tell me that you called me back here because of what I said about your man.” She stood up from where she say close to her and distanced herself apart
Precious' heart was racing with different thoughts as she fired down the car looking for the nearby hospital to admit him in. She was scared as she looked at Mason who was still struggling to breathe. Mason held onto her hands softly, his heart racing slowly, “What are you planning to do, Precious?” He pulled the chair forward a bit with his blurry eyes as he made use of his backhands to clear off his blurry eyeballs. “Where exactly are you going? What happened? Answer me precious and stop keeping me silent.”“I don't know exactly what to say right now but all that matters to me is that I have to take you to the hospital before your attackers come for you again.”“That isn't the answer to the question I asked you, Precious. You can't keep driving me around without providing details to where you are heading to.”Precious eyes were more focused on the driving wheel so she had zero attention for him. “Mason, I don't mean to ignore you but at the same time, I can't keep calm knowing
James drove tirelessly while waiting for Lucas to give him a call before it got late. He had no plans to come outside but he just had to come outside for his friend. He parked his car properly at a nearby cafe and rolled up his windows before dialing Lucas's number. Ring! Ring! He bit the tip of his fingernails as he waited for Lucas to pick up the call. “Didn't I just finish speaking with him a few minutes ago? He knows that he has a lot of issues on his neck and he isn't with his phone close to him.” He felt angry at him for not picking up the call. “I'll try giving him a call for the second time.” He calmed his nerves down as soon as he said the words to himself. He brought out his phone and dialed his number one more time waiting for him to pick up the call. As he was about to give up on the call seeing that Lucas didn't want to pick it up he heard the voice of Lucas on his phone screen. “Hey! Man!” Lucas jeered him up a bit trying his best to rub off his attitude of not r
James kept his gaze on him with his eyes peeping out on the wall where he leaned. His plan initially was to confront him no matter where he found him but seeing that the guy is inside the mall he will rather respect himself rather than cause chaos there. He waited patiently for him to be done shopping before he pounced on him to force out some answers from his mouth out of curiosity. He wasn't sure if the bar attendant was innocent yet his instincts still had him in a chokehold to interrogate the poor bar attendant. The moment James realized that some of the people who came to shop in the mall were heading out he decided to hide around waiting for the bar attendant guy to show up. “Where exactly did this motherfucker go? I don't want to believe that he had his way out of this place without me teaching him a lesson?” he bit his underlips as he spoke to himself with so much anger in his voice. He put his hands into his pockets and removed a nose mask from his pocket as he placed it
The bar attendant laughed hysterically before spitting at James's face. “You son of a bitch you think your words can threaten me.” He eyed him and threw his face to the other side of the floor“Really? Is this how you want it to be done right now? Do you want me to keep it tough before you voice out?” He raised his voice at him with a terrified look. “What happens to talking like two grown-up adults you fool? Are you even leading by example? Why are you attacking me over nothing? What crime have I committed?” The bar attendant shoved James's throat with a different kind of question. “Are you now using my words against me? What kind of person are you? See, I don't want to disfigure your face differently so just answer the damn question.” James grabbed him by the collar again and raised his head off the ground. The bar attendant laughed sarcastically, “If I may ask Mr. brokeass, what exactly was the question you asked me?”James gave a side laugh and licked his lips, “Do you think I
James placed his hands on his forehead as he moved from one angle to another in the corner of where the mall was situated. He wasn't conscious of the people moving around him; he was more concerned about what had just happened between him and Antonio. He still didn't want to believe all that came out of Antonio's mouth as his instinct still had it on him that Antonio had something to know about Anna being poisoned. He bit his lips and screamed out loud with his hands heat on his head and his eyes closed tight, “Fuck! Shit!” He let the words out of his mind as he yelled out. Some of the passersby stopped and stared at him from how he was misbehaving. “I think he has recently lost his mind.” someone said to her friend standing beside her as they both watched James misbehave. The friend responded to her with a voice above a whisper, “What if he is going through a lot? Who knows if this is his way of releasing the thoughts in his mind.”“By screaming like a mad person?
