*** *** ***Ryan storms into the Thomas Jnr house, "Didn't I warn you to drop your charges!!!" He yelled angrily.News had just reached him, his half sister is in the hospital, fighting for her life."I swear I did.". Thomas Jnr said quickly, holding his hands up, maybe it's still in processing." After the incident, his doctor's license was collected and banned. He has been put on probation while investigation is going underway. He couldn't leave anywhere."Processing?? Processing for how long!?" What good will it do it he knows he has a half-sister somewhere and he can't protect her."I don't know, maybe someone doesn't want her out of the prison yet." Thomas Jnr answered, his eyes darting here and there for escape.Ryan paused, he hadn't thought of it that way. It was possible someone really doesn't want her out of there. Maybe Alex? Ryan shook the thought away as soon as it came. He had the tape recorder with him, giving him a leverage against Alex, so he possibly can't be the one.
*** *** ***Hayley strapped her baby on her chest, packing her bags. She can't stay here anymore, not with Ryan going all AWOL and her father being scared of him.Her heart skipped when it beeped, then she visibly relaxed when she saw the message wasn't from John. It was a message from Clyde and he just sent her, her ticket.No one was home now, she had sent all of them on an errand. As a new mother, they were all willing to do her biddings, which made everything perfect.She finished packing quickly, going only with her essentials.She closed the box and placed it by her door, then sat down to write few notes, one for her father, one for her, another for Zara and most importantly for John."Dear John" she wrote."When you get this letter, I would probably be long gone. First off, I'm going to start with how much I am sorry and I love you. You are literally the best and your future wife will be so lucky to have you. I'm sorry I have to go but I don't think I can bear it anymore, also
*** *** "Get the best lawyer you can get your hands on and have Olivia released on bail." Ryan ordered Asher. "What if they don't accept?"Ryan frowns at him, "What part of get the best lawyer do you not understand??""But how can they get bail without....""Thomas Jnr dropped the charges. That should be enough.""Okay..." Asher nods. Adams had came home that night feeling dejected and unhappy. He had kept on rambling on about how he was deceived by the family and now he was never going to work for them.Asher wished you he could ease his brother's worry but as crazy as it may sound, his loyalty goes to Ryan first, besides, he can't have his brother know about what he did. "You dropped my number as family in the hospital." Asher stated.Ryan barely glanced at him."I got a call from them" Asher added when he got no response."What did they say?" "Olivia is out of danger and should be awake anytime soon.""That's great, have her bailed out. She at least deserves that news. She's
*** ***"Why?" Aiya asks in her robotic voice, "I missed you.""Just for today, Aiya. I'll be back."Ryan lays Alex on the worn out breath and did a quick check up, he could see Alex's organs were failing him. He could die anytime soon. "Get me the medic tools.""Where?!" Asher asks, confused."Behind that cupboard." Ryan pointed outAsher rushed towards it and brought it out, handing it over to Ryan.Ryan opened it and brought out long acupuncture needles, putting it in certain places in Alex's body.Ryan writes a list of herbal leaves on a piece of paper, "Go behind this place, you'll get everything you need!"Asher stares at the paper confusedly, "I.. how do I know which to pluck. I know nothing about this one things."Ryan snatches the paper from Asher and proceeds to go outside."If you notice any change at all, call me! I'll be just behind this place."Asher nods and went to stand over Alex who is taking in short, ragged, painful breaths."Ryan got the leaves he needed quickly
*** *** ***Olivia opens her eyes gradually, trying to make sense of her environment. She notices she wasn't hand cuffed to the bed like the first time she woke up and she's still in the hospital, she notices. She opens her eyes fully with a smile, her plan worked! She did it!! She is finally free."Hello there." A nurse peered at her, "I see you are finally awake. How are you feeling?""I feel good." Olivia rasped out. "I need to call my parents to pay the hospital bills.""We've tried reaching out to your parents but they are not in the country presently but rest assured, your bills have been paid.""Really? By who?""A man, he said he is your brother. He also helped you do away with the police officers offering over you. They were really reluctant to leave here."" My brother??"Yes your brother. You must have a fine gentle man." "You didn't see him?""No.. I didn't. But he should come in today."Great!Olivia frowned, wondering who might be disguising as her brother. It could b
*** *** Justin hears the clucking of a gun and the next second, it's noose was kissing the back of his head. Justin swallowed loudly, "I wasn't with my phone when you called and it was on silent. I'm sorry." "Really, should test that?" Mr Anonymous asks.Justin nods, he hated he couldn't see the person he is talking to and he is in darkness. "Where's your phone?""Inside." Justin replied. Mr Anonymous places the car, a smirk on his face. "If my men so much as hears a noise, I'll take it you can't be trusted anymore."Justin nods, there was no way they are going to find out, not when the phone is with him and really on silent. The only problem now was, Zelda shouldn't make a fvcking sound.Mr Anonymous hated that Justin was calm and isn't squirming like he used to. He hates the sudden boldness, now he couldn't play with his favourite toy for long anymore."You're lucky!" Mr Anonymous said, ", Now back to business.""Yes sir." Justin squirmed.Mr Anonymous wore a big smile, perhaps
*** *** ***It was the day to finally meet his parents and yet, he has no culprit in mind, except Justin. Was it only Justin he was going to tell his parents he found. He promised them to start when he is ready and but with him now focusing on the task, they must be thinking he took everything as a joke.He allowed himself to get caught up in other things, there's no excuse for that, especially with the Bruce family.Ryan shakes his head at himself in the bathroom mirror, he doesn't deserve to dress well to his parents as a means of punishment.He and Alina were back to their silent treatment and all, he can feel she's mad at him, but he can't be too bothered about it, not with the things he has on mind.He took his phone and head out of the house, the second Alina answered an incoming call.He could allow himself the luxury of taking the bus but he doesn't deserve it, he doesn't deserve anything good.He put his phone on silent, he doesn't need any disturbance from Asher, especially
*** *** ***Alex enters his company, feeling on top on the world. He wouldn't let that low life words get to him."Where are you coming from?" Mr Morbian asks, Alex enters his office and meets his father there, sitting cross legged."A trip to death land!" He snapped at his father, "I can't believe you wanted be brain dead.""What good is it to have a child to barely listens to me. You're better off as dead.""Sorry dad, but I am here to stay." Alex glared at his father."Thanks to your nonchalancy, the company lost the contract. I invited them over and we lost the contract to another company.""And you want to blame for that?""Who else am I to blame? Me? You had a job and it was to get the contract which you lost?""I fell sick father!!! Shouldn't you have an ounce of sympathy for me?!""Did I put that sickness in you? Did I ask for to be that way? All I asked for was a son who would listen to me.""Why don't you find another son to do your biddings?!""Why else do I need your sper
**** "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
