*** That was pretty intense. What did Simon tell him? I knew he would definitely not believe me if I told him the truth. Well guess I'm super alone now since I can ni longer draw comfort from his presence. I brought the gun out and caressed it, it would be over very soon. I tucked it in my pillow. Simon entered my room next. I removed my clothes without fight, eager for him to go quickly, I wasn't scared of him anymore, I let him have his way. While he thrust himself inside me, I let my hands stray to the gun in my pillow but didn't find the heart to bring it out and pull the trigger. I stopped crying after the second day when I saw it gives him joy. "Unc. ....." The words died in Donald's mouth when he opened the door and saw us. He turned around and left while Simon grinned happily. DIV "Any news?" I said into the microphone in my ear. "We know her location boss" the person I asked to stay guard replied. "And?" I asked, waiting for more.
Donald " One day, she told me she was pregnant, I begged her not to abort the baby, she killed my baby without an ounce of regret. She pleaded for you not to know anything too" Uncle voice kept resounding in my head as I made my way angrily time the drawing. Why I'm angry, I don't know but I have he right to be angry. It's a righteous anger. How could she? They even had the guts to have sex in my house under my roof! I brought out my phone and clicked on mum's number. She had always been my confider before I started hating her. I locked the phone and took out my drawing pen and board instead. Courtney is Nora! She's Uncle Simon's girlfriend, she's a liar. I started drawing, I looked at what I drew, it was Courtney. I removed the paper and tore it angrily. I replaced the paper, I got the same result again. Anytime I tried drawing, I draw Courtney with or without thinking about her. I stopped trying to draw and gave up. I slid down the wall with a heavy
*** "She seduced me and I'm a man, I couldn't overcome the temptation" I paused and looked at him in confusion " Courtney barely looks at men and she'll seduce you? Didn't you say she was avoiding you?" " I-I I'm loss of w-words too" he stammered. Why's he stammering?? "Take" he handed me a cup of coffee. I collect it and was about taking a sip while he looked at me intently. The cup suddenly fell from my hands, shattering on the floor. "If I were you, I wouldn't drink that" Courtney said and head outside to the woods. Uncle looked at her with so much hatred that began doubting if he ever loved her. I was still in shock, how could she fall the cup from my hands? I shook my head and went to my room. Courtney After Simon left, I went to the bathroom and cleaned up. When I came out, I changed clothes and was about heading downstairs when my eyes caught the window. "You're strong my lady" was written in cursory letters. Who wrote this?
Courtney It's over a week I met Div and almost a week I started receiving flowers which brightens my day. The flowers made me feel loved, knowing there's someone out there sending them to me. I started resisting Simon everytime he came to me, then he started bringing weapons as a means of threat. I still didn't find the heart to point a gun at him. One time, a text had entered my phone from Div. I wasn't surprised he got my number. 💬You don't want to do this, you aren't wicked leave it for me. He's not worthy.💬 I left his message on seen, afraid to let anyone die because of me. If Simon detects anything, I'm sure at least one of the gang members will be dead. Also, Simon has been trying to kill Donald at every chance he gets but I'm always one step ahead of him to stop his plan. I laid on the bed, trying really hard to sleep. Donald has been avoiding me like I'm some sort of plague. I understand him, he wants to believe his uncle and at the same time he
Simon I was getting tired of waiting and waiting for a perfect time. Every where I turn, Courtney seem to be there waiting for me. Donaldson father is willing everything to his son in three days time without giving me any. Don't I deserve anything? I helped him in the company too even if it's just a one week, a help is a help. Nora needs to get out of the way, with that, everything will be back to place. Donald won't even worry about her because I'll tell him she ran away. After I dispose of her, all I needs is a injection to make it seem Donald died naturally. I picked her lock and entered the dark room. I knew she wasn't asleep and must have thought I'm coming to have sex with her again. She's no longer of use, others are there if I want to have sex besides I stopped being interested when she stopped crying and begging me to stop. It's what turns me on. I can feel Donald is doubting my words, he'll always believe his blood over a stranger. I gr
*** 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
**** "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
