Cecil and Logan headed into the car and were ready to leave when they sighted Louisa walking towards the car, She had made them upset and she was ready to make things right, with a sigh she called out to them, “Mother, Logan…. Please wait.” She called out as she approached the car. “I’m sorry,” Louisa said with her face downcast, “You should be!” Cecil retorted, “I know, Mother,” Louisa replied, “I’m sorry I allowed my weakness to get the best of me.” She continued “I didn’t mean all that I said, Mother. I need this mission accomplished more than anyone else.” Louisa nodded, trying to reassure her mother and brother who were looking at her with scepticism, “I promise I won’t let it happen again.” She said tilting her head to exude a sorrowful look to get her mother to believe her. “It’s okay Louisa.” Logan began, “But you need to put your mind in the game. We don’t have time right now, we need to leave.” He added as he started the car. “You remember all we d
Adam sat on his daughter's bed and watched her doze off with her head on his thighs as he ran his fingers through the roots of her hair. He had just finished feeding her her food and administering the right dosage of her herbs and she fell asleep almost immediately,He had decided to stay home with her for the rest of the day to take good care of her. He had noticed that she was traumatised and she was still scared of being attacked and taken away so he had to be around her and reassure her that she was safe now.He stared at her and noticed how much she looked like him and how she clenched her fists just like his whenever he was angry.His phone vibrated in his pockets and that interrupted his thoughts, he quickly reached out for it to turn it down so it didn't wake Ariel up, looked at it and noticed it was Leila.He grabbed Ariel’s pillow and placed her head on it slowly so she wouldn't wake up. He placed a kiss on her forehead and stepped out of the room, shutting the door silently
For a moment, everything was black and Leila was dazed, trying to look up to understand what had happened, she suddenly felt a sharp pain throbbing through her veins in her head, that immediately made her feel light-headed causing her head to fall back on the steering wheel,While wincing in pain, she tried reaching for her phone to call for help but before she could reach her bag, her car was surrounded by men who had stormed from different angles and had her car covered. They were dressed in black with masks covering their faces, leaving only their eyes, noses and mouths visible. The sight of these men sent cold shivers down Leila's spine.Her face turning pale, her lips and chin trembled as she tried glancing around, searching for a familiar face, but she was surrounded and she had no means of escape,‘The seven brothers of the coast’She thought to herself with a weak grin, but they had promised to not come after her again, she missed. Before long, they jerked the door open, and s
Cecil sat at the back of the van and watched as the men threw Leila into the truck, staring with a high chin and a smirk on her, the hatred clear in her eyes. She was ready to deal with Leila and end the madness.“Well, see who we have here.”She exclaimed snidely and with mockery, kicking Leila's almost lifeless body that was laid in front of her,“Oohh, the princess can't speak” she continually mocked and let out a loud laugh, Cecil was enjoying the moment more than necessary.With a smile on her face, she picked up the phone to call Louisa and inform her of the latest update, Louisa immediately answered the call, and Cecil wasted no time in informing her,“She has been captured.” She announced with a face beaming and a puffed-out chest,At the other end, Louisa was equally sporting a beaming smile,“Wow! Mother, that was fast,” Louisa exclaimed,“That’s what happens when you trust your mother to get the job done,” Cecil replied with her shoulders thrust back,“Your mother always g
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
