He waited to hear that voice again and when it did come through it was the faint voice of the man he had wanted to speak with all this while.“Hello."“Hello, it is I… Logan, hello?''He heard that fainting sound from the other end and when he turned to look, he found the last person he had expected to see near the phone connection, she had two separate ends of the phone wire in her hands and a wicked smirk.He looked at her with a death stare that would have murdered anyone who was neck-deep in all of this, he was furious.“What did you just do, are you nuts?" He had his fist clenched. He had come halfway across the entire city right to this place, he had done all he could at the party to stay away from trouble and just when he was starting to have that bit of peace again in his mind he bumped into another-“So you thought I'd just let you go like that?" Josie questioned. “You wish, I had my eyes all over you "She was a devil, and if there was anything that he felt for her that ni
It all happened In a bit of slow motion, it was as though time had paused for this one moment and he was caught right there in the middle of it, he could feel that wave in his heart as it ricocheted, each thud as though a pause through time. A sudden gust of wind blew through the Vicinity and with it a bit of eerily silence, as the breeze was caught right there in his hair. It loosened up a bit of anxiety that was already causing a wave of torrents through their hearts. The wind got stronger as he walked towards the edge of the room where they were, with the light shimmering they saw his face.It took a gasp from one of the men after a while to let him know that they might have known who it was.“It is you, I know who you are.” One of them was glamoured.Logan, trying as much as possible to be himself, took a deep breath in, as he did …He walked toward the bar at the corner of the room which he had no business with, and poured himself a glass.He sipped a glass of wine as he look
Josie stormed into the room, hoping that she would find Logan there but there was no sign of him, not even a sign that he had been in that room. She began to panic thinking that he had probably gotten a chance to escape. Her mind immediately went to what her grandfather would do if he found out that Logan had gone missing or probably escaped. The thoughts of what her grandfather would do reminded her of the alarm device he had given her earlier. He had told her to click on the alarm device if anything happened and that would alert him to send help to her. She quickly opened her purse and pulled out the alarm device. Just as she was about to click on it as instructed by her grandfather, she felt a tap on her shoulder. She jolted in shock and turned around to see who had tapped her only to come face-to-face with Logan himself. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw him. He did not escape after all, she thought. "Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you," Josie said.
Logan should most definitely have gotten used to that strange bit of silence that filled the room frequently, but after all this while each moment of silence had been for quite different reasons leaving him in a state of confusion -Logan stood there speechless, he could still feel that sting from the slap burning to the side of his chin, rethinking the entire situation he took a few steps back trying to access through everything.Was Don Moreno aware?It was the first thing that had run through his mind as he found it even more difficult to understand why he was being slapped, he questioned the only person with him who had obvious answers to the entire situation but before he could Josie who had witnessed it all was quick to react.She asked again. “Why did you hit him, I -" She flinched when the old man lifted his hands in fear that he might swipe her too Why he didn't she couldn't tell till she looked up and saw that his hands were held hanging by Logan's.“I take all the fault, fo
JOSIE was startled when she was jolted to her feet, she had thought she'd face an angry Don Moreno but instead, there was a look of concern on his face.“What are you doing, do you want to get burnt?"It was only then that she could hear all the footsteps, heavy running through the hallway. She didn't know where the noise was coming from but she could have sworn that the heat was getting closer.“You need to get out, we are -"Before he could make the rest of the statement, she was out.Josie however didn't make her way to the exit, instead, she made her way to the room Logan was held in as punishment. ****All he could hear was that bit of dripping sound in the distance, Logan with his head hanging down right where he was restrained could feel his strength fade with every tickling seconds in his pulse.His heart thuds heavily as if he will be filled with that bit of darkness.Darting his eye out to the lone window in the room where he was, a soft wind breezed in and with it a scent
Tick.Tick… She could hear it all. Energy, time, the split seconds. Everything, was like a dream but as reality hit her she oddly could Sense the truth. He was gone.Was it karma? As the minutes trickled slowly, the same was her pulse. Josie stood Right there staring at the broken lock, she dropped a tear and let it trickle. She was lost for words, didn't Know what to say or how to start the entire conversation—But who could have done this, she wasn't even sure of what to think. She didn’t think she’d ever felt this worried about or maybe resentful regarding the situation, but she had that feeling that all of this meant worse was coming. She wouldn't say she feared for the worst rather all it left in her was that feeling that seared with a bitter cutting flame. “I don't know what to say honestly," Andre muttered. “Then why didn't you stop them, you should've '' she cried more.“We didn't realize it until after the fire."Those words fell out of his lips calmly but it was st
With darkness zoning deep on them, the two very Controversial couples stood right there in the middle of the hallway in a deep Tete-a-Tete.Logan's instincts were playing hard on all the matters, he didn't see the need to trust her as she had ridiculed him countlessly but still, a part of him wanted to listen to what all this was about.At first, it was all confusing, the entire situation— He couldn't understand what the frenzy was all about, but then as she had explained there was a need for him to pick sides of where he was going to be.In a way, that bit of fraction that he could sense within the family gave him the idea that was needed as he felt the need to use it to his advantage.“So what do you suggest?" He asked after what seemed to be a while.She was all sour and quiet, if there was anything that she had to understand it was the fact that she was right into this as much as she didn't want to .“Well, what do I stand to gain out of all of this," he asked.“All I need to do i
Logan walks further into her room. He had been passing by the corridor when he heard someone crying out in pain even though the cries were not loud. "Josie, are you okay?" He asked but there were no replies from her. He walked towards her bed and saw that her eyes were closed. He wanted to leave, thinking that she was probably asleep. But his eyes caught the medicine container by her bedside. He picked it up and read the description. It was only then he realized something was wrong with her. "Josie, wake up," he called out but still no reply from Josie. He grabbed her hands and tried to shake them realizing her body temperature was too high. At this point, he knew something was wrong with her. He ran out of the room, trying to get some help. As he kept running, he eventually bumped into Andre, Josie's cousin. "What the hell? Can you watch where you're going?" Andre spat angrily. "I'm sorry. I was only running so I could get help," Logan replied. Andre looked at him with a confu
