*** *** **Adams drives to the dusty road to his parents deserted home in the woods.When their parents were alive, they've been sensitive about living with other people. And that totally work to his advantage now. He alighted his car and knocked rhythmically on the door, it was opened, like instantly like the order person on the other side has been expecting him."Welcome." She grumbled, staring at the nylon in his hands. "Is there any snacks in there?""I got us donuts." Adam announced, going to the kitchen and dropping the groceries. He took out the donut box and returns to the living room.The moment he opened it, she snatched one from the box, biting into it blissfully. "this is heavenly!" She moaned.Adams felt something stirred in him as he watched her ear, situations sure do change people and in her case, it changed her for the better except she's expert and faking stuffs and coming from her, he shouldn't be surprised.He still doesn't know why he saved her in the first. Sin
*** *** ***Whap!!!The whiplash met with Yumi's skin. It's been almost a week now.Jonas has her and the other member tied to a chair."First, the seal is missing and you allowed the lawyer overpower you two??""I was knocked out!" The other family member defend. "The person was fast, I didn't even see who it was. He had help from someone. Didn't you see the person as well?" He directed at Yumi."Need I remind you I was knocked out too?"",I don't believe either of you! Did he promise you anything?? Are you with the inheritance?!""If I was with it, don't you think I would have used it to buy my way out of this?" Yumi retorts back, "So, it's either you release us and let's work together for a solution or you continue whipping us and be stagnant with no lead!"Jonas glared at her, she is right. He hated when anyone else asides him is right.Just for his bruised ego, he whips both of them twice before he let them go.Yumi went to her room to apply ointment on her bruised skin before sh
*** *** "You say you have a job for me?" Olivia asks, knocking on Zara's room.Ever since that day, when the found out Alina's husband is her half brother, Zara has been avoiding her like a plague."I'm coming, go wait for me in the living room." Zara shouts back.Olivia clench and unclench her fist, walking back to the living room. Zara came few minutes after, spraying air freshener everywhere."Something is smelling, aren't you perceiving it?""No." Olivia muttered, she is being careful not to get Zara angry. All hands in deck, no matter what Zara was doing now, she is the one taking care of her feeding, accommodation and all, so she doesn't have it in het to get mad at her."Shall we?" Zara asks, scrunching up her nose. If there was a way to send Olivia out of her home, age would do that instantly. She can't have a labelled murderer who is also sisters to a murderer in her house. What people associates them together. That can damage her reputation forever. She shuddered at the tho
*** *** ***"It's you! I know you!" Eleanor gasps."I know you too!" Asher exclaimed"When you saw me with Ryan, you couldn't take your eyes off right? That's why you looked shocked." Eleanor accused."I'm shocked because I have sincerely surprised. My brother set me up on this date and he went on and on about how you are cool, I'm sure he didn't see you for you.""I bet you saw me and still went ahead to come?"Asher scoffs, "You wish! Would you have rather I stood you up? Besides aren't you all about Ryan, why are you on a dating site, looking for love.""A lady got to expand her choices. If by the end of the day, Ryan decides to stick to his unable wife, where does that leave me?""Just so you know, Ryan is not going to leave his wife, at least, not in this life time.""And what do you know about him!?" Eleanor snapped, looking pained. "You don't even know him half as much as I do!""That doesn't matter, it's obvious, Ryan is not the kind to leave his marriage.""How did you meet R
*** *** Eleanor groaned into the pillow of her bed, her head banging."Glad to see you are finally awake." Grandpa Tony coughed.Eleanor sprang up from the bed, "How did I get home?""A fine young man brought you home." Grandpa Tony smiled."A fine young man?"'"Mmmh....." Grandpa Tony winked, "What was his name again?? Yeah, I think Asher!.""Shoot! That guy?!""Yeah, who ever the guy is. Have you finally decide to stop being obsessed with Ryan.""No way!" Eleanor argued.As if hitting replay, her brain replayed when she'd ask Asher if she could love him and her confession for yearning for love."Eleanor buried her head again and groaned into the pillow."I'll take it something embarrassing happened yesterday." Grandpa Tony chuckled."I don't want to talk about it?" Eleanor replied, the pillow muffling her voice."Did you guys at least kiss?" Grandpa Tony teased, "Such a beautiful night would go to waste if you guys hadn't kissed.""We did not kiss!" Eleanor defended indignantly, "
*** *** ***Alina dressed, her mind made up. She used the last money on her to go back to her family's house. They aren't expecting her and are going to be shocked when they see her. She sneaks out of the house, not feeling obligated to tell Ryan about where she is going. When Ryan wakes up, he didn't find Alina anywhere, he assumed she went on one of her job hunts. He hated seeing her that way, worried over everything little thing. Even though he is being secretive over a lot of things, he wasn't going to allow them starve. He would always send help to her one way or the other..His respect for her increased when she rejects the job offer his company offered, because she doesn't want to be indebted to the owner.He decides to stop by Alex's office, make an offer with him or call in a favour with him or perhaps, since Alina trusts Asher, he could use Asher as an helper to her, yet, he needs to stop by Alex and see how he is doing, maybe back to his usual bitchy and cry baby self.**
*** *** ***Alex hung around till Alina left, feeling proud of himself for finally standing up to her after years. As he was about to enter the company, he gets dragged to the alley beside the company and gagged in order for him not to scream. Fortunately for his intruder, there was barely anyone in sight."What the heck!" Alex exclaims after he was released, removing his gag."Olivia? What are you doing here? When did you get out of Prison? How did you?"Olivia threw the first punch at him, bursting his lips instantly."Are you crazy? What are you doing?!""Yes! I'm crazy!" Olivia screams, "And it's all because of you!!"She grabs him by the shirt and slaps him repeatedly until his cheeks were red.Alex tried to rip her off him, but she was too strong, it was like she grew super powers overnight. Olivia gives him another blow to the face, putting half of her strength into the punch, breaking his nose instantly. The instant she releases him, Alex tried to make an escape.Olivia th
*** *** ***Ryan entered the half opened gate, making a mental note to himself to fix the lock later on."What are you doing here?" Olivia stops him by the front lounge.Ryan outs his hands in his pocket, "Checking up on you, how's your health?""Better, you can go." Alina snaps.Ryan stood there, both of them studying each other.Olivia has a memory flash, to anyone and everyone, she's living a life befitting for a princess. No one knows what it was like to live in her house. It was night mares upon nightmares. Only Alex had an inkling of what she passed through and yet he used her as his scapegoat and did not bother coming to her rescue.She grew up knowing her mother had abandoned her here and was her father mistress.Her father, mad he couldn't have her mother for himself always yelled at her and didn't care she was being maltreated by his new wife. There was a time he told her he hated seeing her face because they reminded him so much of someone.She didn't need a soothsayer to t
**** "I don't understand you" I continued when we entered the car "if I'm to be treated like a queen, why are you driving when we have an entire entourage behind us?" I asked "Because I'm treating you like a queen, durh" "I'll think of you as my driver then" I smiled satisfactorily. "I have a very juicy news" he licked his lips. "I can see it's really juicy for you to lick your lips, did you taste the juice?" He glared at me and concentrated on driving. Knowing him, I knew he would continue talking. "My three year old girl is dying to see you. She even decorated her bedroom and expects you to share the room with her" he said admiringly. "I knew she would always be smart, smarter than her father who paid an entire entourage to accompany us home" "It's was her idea, so that means I'm smarter" he bit his cheeks to surpress himself from laughing. "Wow that's so smart of her, she deserves a medal." I replied wiping the smile off his face. "Hmph.." he
Five years later, Courtney I stood at the arrival terminal in the airport, looking for my ride home. I had travelled to Europe for college with the help of Div and Donald and graduated with an upper class in law. I specifically chose to major in law so I can lend my voice to those that are voiceless. I saw a flag raised up with the name CounterKnee. I shook my head and walked to the person who was busy chatting away on his phone with a big smile on his face. I smacked him on the arm "Didn't I tell you not to call me CounterKnee?" I playfully glared at him. "What do you expect me to do when I miss you so much?" He grinned at me "Should I blush now or what?" "None, a hug will do" I hugged him tight "it's been five years" "I know right, it feels like yesterday and it also feels like ages ago" We disengaged from the hug and he collected my luggages from me, leading me to sleek car and I noticed an entourage. "Please don't tell me you hired
Donald "I knew something was up with that Uncle of yours. I never liked him." Mum said after I narrated everything to her. "I still can't believe he tried to kill me and Courtney." "I haven't told your father about it. You mentioned Div just now?" "Yeah, he's the one that helped" "That's new, the Div I heard about is cruel and he's a Drug Lord." Mum explained. "A drug Lord? Courtney got herself involved with a drug Lord? Is that why the police man saluted to him" "Maybe..... I'll head over to the police station. They should wrap up the case, we aren't making any charges. He's dead, we don't need to mention his case in court." I shrugged and eyed mother who was staring at me with mischief. I went over and hugged her tightly. "About Courtney" mum started. "Don't even go there mum..... don't" I disengaged from the hug and flashed her a grin then went to the kitchen where I met Flynn and Eva cooking. It was a sight to behold. "We're sorry,
"What contract you signed with mother ends today, I'll give you the money" My heart plummeted down, I wanted the money for college so I can't rent an apartment till I apply. "I want to work for my money" I argued "No, you've worked enough. I'm going to sponsor you to college and you can always consider this place as home" I wanted to raise my head and look at him. He pressed my head back against his chest "No don't look at me" "Thank you" I said with so much sincerity. "You deserve it CounterKnee" " Sorry to break you guys up, but what the heck happened?" Another voice said "Mum" Donald cried out, not masking the surprise in his voice. His mum?!
*** 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"
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."
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??
*** 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.
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
