*** Clara had being a pun used by Uncle to make me useless. He knew seeing her would bring memories, bad ones. My question is, what does he want to do with the money he has been forcefully acquiring. Something clicked in my brain. Courtney has been protecting me all this while even at the expense of her life. I remembered every liquid she had knocked out of my hands, every meal she had poured away before I took a bite, every glare she had sent to Uncle, the way she eats a lot and jumped at every single sound. It was almost midnight when everything clicked to place. I took my phone quickly and made a call to mother. " Donald" she screamed excitedly into the phone then continued flatly "if you still want Courtney out of your hair, I'm not doing that" Tears clogged in my throat, I really miss my mother, I miss her voice. "Mother" I said into the phone "I'm sorry." I broke down "I didn't know you were protecting me" "My baby, I knew you'd come to your senses
Jeff The gunshot woke me up. I jumped down in alert and climbed to Courtney's window praying in my heart she isn't the one shot at else Boss will castrate me and cut my body in pieces slowly. One person was lying down in a pool of blood and another is standing over the person. I let myself in to the room and walked towards the scene. Courtney My hands found the gun and was trying to turn off the safety and shoot at him. He released my neck suddenly and reached for the gun while I tried regaining my breath, he collected the gun, turned the safety off. I regained my breath quickly and threw myself at him, letting my weight catch him by surprise and also reached for the gun as he clicked safety off. He had more strength than me and muscles so it was easy for him to over power me quickly.
*** He had more strength than me and muscles so it was easy for him to over power me quickly. He hit my head on the edge of the bed, blood gushed out quickly as the place opened. The pain numbed me but I fought through the pain and grabbed the bed lamp but he was already pointing the gun at me. I threw the lamp at the hand holding the gun and grabbed it when it fell from his hands. I aimed at him and was about taking a shot when three bullets sailed through the air, killing him instantly. I was in shock because I knew I didn't pull the trigger. Simon fell slowly to the floor then I glanced up to see Div still pointing a gun at him and flashing a grin at me. He beat me to pulling the trigger by pulling his first. But how did he know? How did he come on time. "I told you I won't let his blood stain your hands and I'm a man of my words. Besides I saw you love the flowers" he winked at me. I dropped the gun and ran to him, ignoring Donald who just entered and the m
DIV While I asked Jeff to stay guard of the house, I also stationed two more people. When I got report that Simon was heading to her room and destroying things in his bedroom, I knew he was going to do something other than having sex with her this night. So I got into my car and drove as fast as I could. I told her I won't let his blood stain her hands and I'm a man of my words. I'm not going to let her go to jail because of him. I couldn't protect my sister then and she's going to be angry if I don't help Nora. I entered in time to see him choking her and her pulling the gun I gave her out. I stood, watching the entire exchange, waiting for the right time to make a move. When he pointed the gun at her, I pulled my gun out and was about shooting. Then she threw the lamp at his hand, aiming perfectly. She picked the gun quickly and made to aim. I took action then and killed him. From my research, the Simon of a man has about twenty more people in ca
*** After I killed him, she ran over and hugged me, surprising me completely. My sister was the only person that could hug me, here, another person is taking her place. I hugged her back not caring about the person behind me who should be the owner of the house. Hugging another person after a long while felt good and refreshing so I held on to her, not worried about the blood seeping into my clothes. "B-bo-boss" Jeff stammered. "Just kneel and raise your hands up till I come back and clean the mess here" "W-where are you going?" "Police station." Just as I said it, a batch of policemen entered fully armed and took in the state of the room including the kneeling Jeff.
Donald I entered the room and stood in shock as I watched Uncle fall slowly to the ground with a strange man holding a gun. I glanced at Nora, she was holding a gun too. Where did she get the gun? "Who the fuck are you?" I wanted to ask but the words died down in my mouth when I saw her run to the strange man. For a moment, my heart surged with gratitude towards the strange man. He save Nora. I didn't mind that Uncle is dead, after all he had been planning to kill me too. "Who are you?" I wanted to ask again but the police men interrupted this time. They looked at the gun in the strange man's hand and Simon's corpse. "You are under arrest sire" The police man saluted before talking which only made me more curious. Who exactly is this man standing here??
ourtney ️ I watched helplessly as the policemen took Div away. "I'll be okay and probably be back in the night" he said as they took him away but that didn't alleviate my worry. Killing Simon was self defense, the police should know that. Seeing I wasn't convinced "what about bringing your flowers this night?" I smiled and nodded in agreement. After he left with the police, an ambulance came to carry Simon's corpses and I was asked to vacate the room without cleaning as they need evidence. I packed my belongings and moved them to Donald's room. I sat on his bed, reminiscing. Simon is really dead, my nightmare is gone. It still felt surreal. Donald entered and sat quietly beside me. "I'm so sorry Nora, I'm sorry I didn't believe you" he pleaded. I looked at him and placed my hands on his, "If I were you, I wouldn't have believed a stranger over my blood too so I'm not angry."
*** He stared at me as if he couldn't believe what he was wearing and pulled me into a hug. I let myself be hugged and relax in his embrace. It's finally over, we conquered our nightmares. "Know the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw you?" He asked, his chin resting on my head. I shook my head negatively against his chest. "Who's this fierce beautiful petite lady with wild chestnut hair who isn't afraid of my cold aura and broke through, now I have a warm heart willing to love." "What do you think when you see now, after you know, everything?" I asked "Wow, my bossy maid is one hell of a strong woman, beautiful and fierce at the same time, selfless too. She's one of the people I hold dear to my heart now." I blushed, surprised someone still thinks of me as beautiful. "What contract you signed with mother ends today, I'll give you the money"
