Is she dead?Maxwell moved out of the room into the bathroom to wash his face.It's been two days since he had been in the custody of the unknown abductors.He was feeling very hungry but they never gave him anything to eat since he got there.Although was conversant with maintaining a hungry stomach because his mother had taught him how to fast from a very young age staying without food and water for two days was becoming unbearable.He walked back into the room wiping his wet face with his shirt and met one of the guy standing at the doorway. The guy looked at him and said in mockery "You look terrible" Maxwell looked at him from the corner of his eyes and sat mute on the bed. The guy hissed and dropped a pair of neat trouser and a shirt on the bed "Get yourself ready, you should be somewhere tonight"Maxwell stared at the clothes on the bed and his gaze reverted to the guy. He cleared his throat and looked into the guys eyes "Are you guys planning on letting me go?" He asked.
Maxwell pushed her away from himself and walked into the bathroom. He couldn't believe that he had allowed himself to be drunken and unaware despite being in custody of strange people. He sat in the bathtub thinking about how things has been before he was brought to this dungeon, the remembered Amelia's condition before he left and wondered if she wash m gb awake now. Clearly if she dies, Wilson will have no use for him anymore and the deal will be terminated. Her survival meant a lot to him and his family. He said a short prayer for her there in the bathroom before coming back into the room. He didn't meet the lady when he got out of the bathroom and he was grateful that she had left.A part of him felt guilty for being so unmannered and ending up on bed with a lady he didn't know. He waved off the feeling and sat on the bed.His head was beginning to hurt and there was a painful pinch in his stomach reminding him that he had not eaten anything for the past two days expect fo
Riya tried to follow the nurses that carried Maxwell into the ward but she was not allowed to go it."I'm sorry ma.. You'll have to wait for a while" A nurse said to her softly standing on her way."What?" She said casting her frowning face on the nurse."You really can't see the patient now. He is in a very critical state and he needs emergency attention" She said trying to touch Riya's arm but she moved away.Amelia's attending doctor suddenly came out of the emergency ward.She walked briskly towards her office and without noticing Riya's presence she asked the nurse "Does he have any family present?"The nurse glanced at Riya and replied instantly "Yes Doc, she says she's family" She said pointing at Riya.The doctor stopped walking and glanced at Riya before asking "Miss, aren't you Amelia's..."Riya didn't wait for her to complete her statement. "Yes... I am Amelia's sister and he is her husband" Riya replies came very fast and the doctor could notice the fear in her voice.The
Justine and Helen dressed as a street janitor a they parade round the Wilson's mansion the next day trying to get sight of their son.They had come out early with some cutting and weeding tools,Pretending to be out for work.Justine walked behind metal protector fence peeping into the big compound until he got to the end but no one came in or out of the mansion. Helen was becoming very worry, she sat at a spot directly opposite the Wilson's gate waiting for Justine to return. Shortly after, Justice came back looking very exhausted. He had walked round the the long fence and was sweating profusely. They sat at gmthe spot opposite the gate resting from their search when a car hoot sounded. The car was driving into the gate. They ran to the fence and peeped through it. Justine instantly docked his head upon seeing that it was Wilson who out of the car. He turned to Helen and signaled at her to go back. They returned to the spot and Justine said in a low voice "We should go before
His Parents Visit. Riya left Maxwell to have some time alone with he's parents. She went over to Amelia's ward to bid her farewell for now. She wasn't going to tell her about the way her father had inconsiderately sent her out his house and although she was angry, she didn't want to hold it against Amelia She walked into the ward without knocking and Amelia's face brightened upon seeing here. Riya noticed the presence of an elderly woman in her early forties sitting at the corner of the room. She wasn't on a nurse dress neither was she in a doctor's coat.She took a sit beside Amelia as the woman walked over hastily to stop her " Who are you, miss?" She asked immediately she stood bdfore them.Riya smiled softly and tilted her head up at the lady "I am Riya... Her cousin" Riya announced slowly."She was the one had care of me since I got here when you or my father were away... She's a better company" Amelia's sharp voice chimed in. Riya watched the lady's mouth curve into a snee
As the footsteps of the person who called her name approached, a familiar presence enveloped her. It was her college mate who was surprise to see her in the hospital Riya slowly turned around, blocking Maxwells parent behind her with her tiny body.She let out a reliefing sigh when she figured out that it a school mate, John."Hey John.." She said faking a smile to cover her restless gaze.John walked closer to and pulled her into a short embrace.He tilted his head and said when he saw Justine and Helen "Are they your parent?" He asked anxiously.Riya smiled and said "No...they are actually my aunt and uncle..."She turned over to them swiftly and made a brief introduction "Aunty.. Uncle meet John, my college mate" She said softly.Justine smiled at her smartness and quickly extended a hand to John "It good to meet you Johnny... I must say I have never heard anything about you" He said teasingly.John smiled broadly and replied " Well.. That's because Riya here doesn't like my compa
Riya got a call from the lady who had given her her card the next day and the spoke for a while.The lady who happened to be real estate expert and agent mentioned something about a job and Riya felt interested in it. They both scheduled to meet the next day at the lady's office. At the office, Riya was warmly welcome and unlike the others at the wait room who had come to see her too, the lady was exceptional warm towards Riya. "There is an old couple who needs someone to help them take care of things in their home..." The lady said after offering Riya a chilled glass of orange flavoured juice. "How safe is the job?" Riya asked narrowing her eyes as she looked at the lady. "I'll say 98% safe because they do not have a child of their own and they are incredibly wealthy.... It's safe" She said and Riya smiled at the level of confidence she spoke. "I actually have been friends with them for some years now" She added and Riya nodded her head in response. She didn't want refuse the
Wilson sat at the back of his high quality and expensive car as the driver ignited the engines and soon they were on their way down to Helen and Justin's neighbourhood.Wilson's wanted to get the truth from them before punishing Maxwell for breaking the rule of the contract.Unbeknownst to Wilson, Maxwell had already told his parents what would happen if Wilson found out that they had visited the hospital to see him.After a few minutes drive, Wilson car parked in front of the old building and he got out of it, walking briskly towards the door.He had a big wrap of cigarette in his mouth and a silver colour walking stick that complimented his coat and hat.He knocked on the door and Helen came to open it almost immediately."Mr Wilson" Helen said moving away from the door in fear.Wilson casted a long cold stare at her before walking over to the old couch were Justin laid pretending to be down."You look terrible" He said to Justine squatting before the couchJustine stared at him in
