“My goodness!"“All these things have happened and I'm just learning about them?"“Kelvin found out before me? Where were you considering telling me any of these? Huh, Becca? And you too, Gregory. How dare you fool me and make fun of my intelligence?" Uncle Theo said, after hearing Becca's narration. His eyes were filled with Intense seething rage, and he clenched his fist in anger. There was total silence in the room as everybody waited for him to calm down. “Uncle please, I know that you're angry, and you have every reason to be, but this is not the best t…” However, before Kelvin could complete his statement, he was interrupted by Uncle Theo’s angry voice. “Don't even complete that statement! How dare you keep me in the dark in such a crucial matter? Do you have any idea how this family has been growing? I am the backbone of this household.”“Without me, my father, your grandfather wouldn't have gotten to the level he was before his death. I gave everything, I gave up the woman
During a stormy rainfall that very night, a young man in his early 30s alighted from a car and sauntered into a martial arts center. He walked down the silent path within the premises and finally came to a halt by a closed large door. The opened after a few seconds, and he entered the large hall that looked like an abandoned warehouse. As he sauntered down to an old elevator, he folded his arm to shield himself from the cold that had punctured his lungs due to his wet clothes. “Elias!" A voice growled behind him, and he turned to see a hefty gigantic figure standing behind him.“State your reasons for coming down here." The looking man roared with seriousness glittering in his eyes. The young man who goes by the name Elias swallowed hard, his fear was evident on his face as he stared back at the man. “I have an instruction from the boss to see the prisoner anytime I want. I have to ensure that she's safe and sound." He said, retreating backward as the huge man kept coming forwar
The next morning, it was a brand new Monday morning. People of Vancouzer cheerfully went about their daily lives. The road was buzzing with passersby as Katherine drove down the company. Entering into the building, she drove towards the parking lot and as she alighted from the car, she caught sight of 2 police vehicles parked at the far end of the park.Fear gripped her, and she swallowed. She darted her eyes around, but there was no one around her. She sighed heavily and sauntered towards the entrance.As she entered the building, it was just a normal day for work, but something felt off. She could feel the danger in the air as she took each breath. “Good morning ma," a cacophony of voices rang out, and she waved them off and continued towards her office. As she entered the office, she settled down and said her morning prayers. It was time to begin her daily duty. Her phone rang, and she picked it up. There was a voicemail from Kelvin. She gasped softly and unlocked the phone, but
Early the next morning, Amara walked out of her apartment dressed in white. It was a new day and the day for the meeting she had promised Kelvin. She drove downtown with a heavy heart towards her mission.“God help me," she muttered as she prayed silently on the wheel. When she got to the usual meeting venue, it was an event center in a small hotel in Vancouzer. A perfect spot that would hardly derive suspicion. Mark had already arrived at the meeting, his security men were positioned outside the hall as she walked past them. “You're late," Mark called out to her as she walked down to their midst.The attendees were Mark himself, a few senators, and Mariana, whom she couldn't identify. “I'm sorry boss, I overslept. I didn't begin my schedule in time." She pleaded with a downcast gaze m, and Mark murmured and gestured her to sit. The meeting was quick and direct. Less than 30 minutes later, they had concluded the meeting. Mark left for his car, and every other attendee took their l
Inside a dark warehouse, Amara lay on the bare floor, her face was covered in blood, and her white dress had been stained with dirt mixed with blood. She lay helplessly on the floor, rolling around and hoping for an unexpected miracle. She crawled up to a pillar standing by the left, and two men trailed her from behind, following her steps closely. The door at the far end opened, and light shunned through the entrance. “Look we have here," a familiar voice spoke up from a distance, and a round of applause followed suit.“Amara Kingston. My beautiful, beautiful Amara.” Hearing those words, she darted her eyes in the direction tiredly and saw Mark standing above her with a mocking smirk. His evil eyes pierced into her, and she began to shiver. “You had the guts to betray me? Everything I did for you, bitch! I fed you. I picked you from the streets when you were nothing. I made you everything you are today. Yet, you ended up with Kelvin, my sworn enemy."She froze and a low gasp esc
Amara lay inside the Jacuzzi with the warm water pouring down on her from the shower. She gasped softly, reminiscing about the incident back in the warehouse. She had lost hope, she never expected help to come from Kelvin. As she lay on her back facing the ceiling, a thought crossed her mind.“What will happen to Debra?” She imagined. She jolted up from the Jacuzzi and searched for her cellphone but she realized that it was in the room.She quickly turned off the shower and left the Jacuzzi She wrapped the white teeth towel around her waist, covering her unclad body.She speedily sauntered out of the bathroom. Debra was her younger sister, and with their parents late and no extended family member to look up to, she was playing the role of her mother. Debra will be going to college in less than 12 months, but now that Mark knows of her location, that might not be possible. She had to protect her sister. As she ran into the room, she collided with Kelvin who had just entered the room
Pamela lay on the sofa white decorated bed in her prison room. Her eyes had gone pale due to excessive crying. She got proper attention, however, her freedom which was the most crucial thing she craved was denied to her.As she stared at the wall with sadness all over her, it dawned on her that crying wasn't the best option at that moment. She had to find a way and get the hell out of the place. A knock came on the door, but as usual, she didn't care to attend to it. The door opened, and the young man ushered himself into the room. It was Elias, the young man assigned to watch over her. “Are you already, Pamela?" He called, but there was total silence. She ignored his call and shut her eyes “Pamela?" He called again, and she rolled over the bed and shot a glare at him.“What is it?" “I'm asking a question. Are you alright? Do you need me to get you anything?" He asked again, his voice soft and compassionate. She scoffed with a mockery on her lips and shook her head disappointedly.
Katherine sat on the sofa reminiscing about what happened back in Kelvin's residence. She recognized Amara, the same girl Kelvin was gonna sleep with back at Mark Muller's birthday party.Her growing anger was visible in her expression as she glared at a distance. Her eyes squinted, a clear sign of her intense seething rage that she could barely control.The door opened and Mariana walked into the house. She was so busy that she couldn't notice the presence of her mother. Mariana stood still, staring at her in silence. She knew something terrible bothered her, but she was tired after a stressful day. She wanted to rest, and she didn't want Katherine's mood to stop her from taking a nap. “Are you ok, child?" She called, and Katherine jolted back to reality. She darted her eyes around and confirmed it was her mother. She sighed and shrugged off quietly. “What's the matter? You seem very disturbed." Mariana inquired, and she sighed again.“Of course, I'm disturbed. I just noticed som
