For a moment, Cecil was momentarily dazed, she instantly felt a sharp and throbbing pain through her skull, and she let out a scream that pierced her skull.“Ahhhhhhh.” She screamed, placing both hands on her head as if to put it in place, for it to not fall, for it felt as though her head was leaving her body. She could feel something drip down from her fingers, one look at it and she shuddered at the sight of blood that graced her fingers.“Shit!” She exclaimed, wrinkling her nose at the sight. It was glaring that she had hurt herself from the fall, wincing from the jabbing pain, Cecil struggled to pick herself up from the floor,Just as she managed to get to her feet, she felt a loud vibration on the van, causing her to fall back to the ground,‘Did these bastards catch up with us?’ She mused to herself as she tried to stand up once more, the banging on the door was becoming a lot louder, and more intense, she could feel the vibration to her toes.Cecil had the urge to once agai
They got out of the van and Cecil followed Logan right behind him as he led them into the woods, trying to locate their hideouts by the border.“Hope we get there soon,” Cecil said breathlessly, While walking, they were still being careful and being on the lookout for the men who had nearly attacked them and were relieved to see that they had lost track of them. “Mother.” Logan called out to Cecil.“We’d bury her body here when we're done with her.” He said pointing at a corner by the border, “That way, they would not be able to trace or find her body.” He added as he continued to move down the sloppy roads that led to the hideouts.“Smart boy,” Cecil responded, with a nod and a smirk. After what seemed like a marathon walk, they finally got to the hideout. The place looked like an abattoir but was for the sale of human parts as there was blood all around and all over the place.Cecil’s breath rasped as she clutched her arms tightly, she looked around and found what seemed like
“Where is the lady?” A voice thundered from inside, letting cold air escape through Cecil and her son’s noses, they were gripped with fear and were without weapons, they weren't ready for whoever it was,“We need to get out of here Logan,” Cecil said, grabbing him by the arm.“This must be Adam’s doing.” She said to him trying to convince him as to why they should leave,“But…but..mother.” He stammered and pointed towards the direction of the entrance of the hideout.Logan knew if he eloped from there, he would be in trouble and the big dog would surely find them and kill them as he was the one who brought the deal to the group,He had agreed with the men behind his mother’s back that when Leila was killed, they would sell her body parts rather than throw her away. And now his mission had brought woes to the group and he would be held responsible and the group would probably come for him and kill him.“I..can’t.”Logan said, sweating fervently while his hands and feet were shaking,“
Cecil and her son rummaged through the woods and found their way to the border bank, they had almost lost their breath and were thirsty and dehydrated. They had been running for hours and had finally come to a stop and tried to catch their breath.They got to a spot and sat down to get some rest.“What do we do now?” Logan asked his mother while trying to catch his breath, bending over and heaving,“They are going to come after me.” He added fearfully as his voice cracked.“Relax, son.” Cecil said, patting his back while her brain churned,“What is important right now is how we can get out of here.” She replied, trying to calm him down.“They might not even survive the wrath of Adam.” She added and winced at the thought of what the bastard could do.“He might have killed them all and wiped them all out.” She said with a mischievous smile as she continued to try and convince him.“What if he doesn’t?” He retorted and shrugged his mother’s hands off his shoulders.“What if they snitch
Raul drove the car as fast as he could as he noticed how restless Leila was becoming, getting antsy for Adam, In no time, they were at Adam’s house and found him in the driveway pacing around the driveway. Leila took a deep breath of relief as she saw him and couldn’t wait for Raul to pull over before hopping out of the car.“Careful ma’am.” Raul said swiftly as he saw her trying to get out of the car when the car was still in motion.Immediately the car stopped, she hopped out of the car and ran towards Adam into his arms for a tight hug. She held him tight as though she was never willing to let go,“Thank you for coming to my rescue once again.” She said to Adam as she burst into another round of tears.“Thank you for not letting those men kill me.” She said as she continued to sob into his chest,“I’ll never let harm come to you.” He said to her rubbing her back gently to calm her down,She continued to cry and in no time, she got Adam’s shirt all covered up in her tears, while
“How dare you?” Joan thundered at her sister.“You are with that loser of a lover?” She blasted her sister.“You left me hanging here to meet that man,” Joan asked fuming through the phone,“Listen to me Joan…let me explain.” Leila stammered amidst her sister’s anger.“What the hell do you have to explain?” Joan continued roaring at her sister.“You didn’t even think of Dad,” Joan said with a hurtful tone.“You didn’t think of your father, who has been in a coma all this while. You left us and ran into that man’s arms once again, now when your family needs you the most.” Joan said.Leila sat there, still as an igloo, listening to her sister’s words. She felt those words pierce through the skin of her chest right into the depths of her heart. Her warm tears dripped down her cheeks as her sister continued to spew out her hurtful words,“That's why your cock and bull story was inconsistent.” Joan continued to blast Leila who had her face covered with her palm,“You were kidnapped? And a
“Come and sit.”Adam said to her pointing to the chair opposite him, Leila reluctantly walked towards the chair and sat down, looking at the food in her front, bile almost rising in her throat, “I don’t know if I have the appetite for this.” She said, and quickly looked away from me,“You will have to eat it anyway,” Adam said and poured some herbal tea, “Take this, it would help with the migraine.” He said and handed her the mug. Leila reluctantly grabbed the mug from Adam and stared into the herbal tea,“Do you enjoy the migraine in your head?” Adam asked, raising a brow.“Nahhh,” she said and took a sip of the tea.“Argghhh.” She said as she tried to spit out the tea from her mouth but swallowed it as she got the memo of what to do from the look on Adam’s face.“It tastes horrible.” She said with a dreadful look.“Good things taste awful at first try,” Adam replied with a smirk on his face as he was enjoying the look on her face.“Can you add some sugar or something?” She asked a
Adam looked at her and thought about how much of an emotional wreck she was, she was already teary up for a story she had not even heard the tip of the iceberg and smiled at her,He nodded his head and grabbed a glass containing water and gulped it down his throat. He took a deep breath and continued,“Her mother sold her to child and drug traffickers.” Adam said and once again he noticed the look on her face change from pity to anger instantly, she had become pissed at what Adam had just said.“You mean, Louisa sold your baby to traffickers?” She asked him flaring up, almost flying out of her seat,“Mm..hmm,” Adam said simply and nodded.“How dare she?” She asked angrily.“Where were you? Why did you let that happen?” She asked Adam and stared at him awaiting his answer, he was silent for a while, his eyes lost in thought,“I was in jail.” He started, and shook his head,“I was framed and thrown into jail.” Adam went on, releasing a sigh,“What the hell?” She blurted out, her mouth
