"What's your decision?" Asher asks, "You usually say family comes first, why aren't you moving. Alina needs your help."

"Why are they going there?"

"I don't know exactly why but surely, it can't be something good."

"Fvck this!" Ryan swore under his breath.

Mrs Bruce called her butler and instructed him to put a hole on the tyres of the vehicle the family planned to drive out.

Grandma Joan almost swore when she saw the flat tyre in the garage. It was her favourite car.

"Should we go with another car?" Jeffery asks.

"No!" Grandma Joan snaps, "Get a mechanic to repair this!"

"Are we going to wait?!" Sasha asks.

"We aren't in a hurry, we have all the time in the world."

Mrs Bruce sneaked in to the back garage, driving out on her own accord, going before the mechanic came.

The look in his face scared her. This was the first time she is seeing him like that, all defensive over Alina who's probably just using him to get the family angry. "Alina did you do whatever the accused you of doing?" Ryan asks, locking gazes with her."No, I didn't.""You heard that officer, she didn't. I could have you sued for wanting to cuff her and taking her against her wishes without evidence and only based on speculation."

After the break down with her car, she had went back home angrily but the look on Grandma Joan's face as entered was enough to tell Mrs Bruce everything didn't go as they planned, and that was enough to make her day. Grandma Joan glared at her in response, "Your daughter is bringing shame to this family, is that how you brought her up? To disgrace us later on." "Of course not, we both brought up Alina together in this house, so all the blames can't go to me alone!"Grandma Joan clutched her fist in anger, "Are you talking back at me?"

"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.

    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.

"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,

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."

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??

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."

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
