Louisa and her mother were seated in Cecil’s living room as Cecil was dressed as though she was going on a mission, she was waiting for a call and had become restless when she did not receive the call,“What are these stupid men doing?” She blurted out angrily.“We need to get the mission started so we can intercept that b!tch” She exclaimed in a loud and grating voice, in no time, she stood to her feet and began pacing the room,Louisa sat across the room from her, staring at her phone and paying no attention to her pacing mother,“Louisa!!!”Cecil shrilled as she noticed Louisa wasn't paying attention to her, she fixed her darkened gaze on Louisa and demanded,“What do you think you're doing?!" With her arms folded she asked Louisa sternly,“What the hell are you doing that could be more important than what we have going on right now?” Cecil yelled angrily.Louisa looked at Cecil blankly while she stood and yelled, she didn't seem fazed by her mother's yelling, and this further inf
As Cecil walked away, Louisa mindlessly flipped back into her seat and stared at her mother with mouth agape. Her mother's words had left her speechless, with her body trembling. She wrapped her arms around herself as she was numb and didn't know what to say or how to react.She knew for certain that Cecil meant every word, and she wasn't ready for her mother's wrath. One thing was clear, she was caught in between the devil, and the deep blue sea; on one hand, she couldn't face her mother's wrath or sinister plans, on the other hand, she wanted the bitch that was Leila out of the way.Louisa had to pick a side and her battle and stick with it. Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the banging of the door as Logan barged in calling for their mother, “Mother?!” He called out, seeing Cecil, he went on with what he had to say,“The vehicles are ready.” He informed Cecil, and as he turned, he finally noticed Louisa sitting pitifully on the couch while rocking herself. With a sneer on
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 discussed.” He asked and

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
