*** *** ***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
*** *** Those working in the camera room at first were too busy to eating and bantering around to notice then one of them caught sight of what was happening in the rear view camera close to the alley and saw two ladies attacking their boss. He immediately raised an alarm to the securities. When security arrived at the scene, the ladies had disappeared, leaving their knocked out boss on the floor. He had a lot on injuries and broken bones. After admitting Alex on the hospital, Devin comes back to the office to finish the day's activities and file a complaint to the police. Mr Morbian enters the office, a smirk on his face. "Mr Morbian!" Devin stood in acknowledgment, "I was just about to lay a complaint to the police so they can find the culprit behind this." "Oh." Mr Morbian chuckled, "that wouldn't be necessary at all." "I'm sorry?" Devin needed to be sure he heard what he thinks he just heard correctly. "I said that would not be necessary at all." "I'm sorry, if I may ask
*** ***Alina visits her new mini company, and true to her suspicion, everything about the company is withered, it's a surprise the building is still standing. The door creaked open, it sound resonating through out the building.Alina took few steps backwards as the stale air from the building hit her. The cleaning company she called arrived just in time.As they worked, Alina noted a few things..The so called restaurant is like a bar house where veterans came to recount stories, have a good laugh, coupled with a drink or two, and also play poker..For the first time in a while, Alina felt alive. She had a sense of purpose and responsibility, asides from Eleanor's hidden threat, she needed to prove her family wrong. A company without her would be missing out on so much."Hey..." Alina heard a new voice behind her, "I was told I'll find you here."Alina turned to see who it was"Olivia?" Alina asks, shock filling her features."Yeah, that's me." Olivia shrugs awkwardly. She knows Z
*** ***Mr Morbian received the phone he's being waiting all day for."It's done" Mr G simply said and hung up.Mr Morbian yelled in victory. Finally, his rival is out of the picture. He turned on his television and waited for the new that will come on soon.Ten minutes later, the TV channel abruptly switched to News. Every channel was rushing to be the first to deliver the news. Ads popped up everywhere, announcing Asher's death."It's been brought to our notice." The reporter started, "That a Mr Asher Fotin, managing Director of the Nolvani company has been shot dead, along side his assailant on bus 3704, Johnson street. It was reported that Asher had just closed from work, his car was down or maybe tampered with and so he used the bus instead where he was killed. We'll be back after gathering more information on his death!"Mr Morbian popped his champagne open happily.. "You are next son." He smirked, eyeing the picture of Alex on his desk. *** "Thank heavens, I've been starving
*** ***Alina needed no one to tell her that her husband is in the operation room.She got there in time to stop the securities that threatened to barge into the room."You can't go in there." She tells them, spreading her arms, he is a doctor and exactly who you need if you want your patient to survive.""We have professionals in there handling the situation, how can a mad man take charge?!" A nurse argues."My husband is not a mad man!" Alina fires back, "He is perfectly sane.""I doubt that. I saw him when he entered."Alina rolls her eyes and gives Adams a once over. He has the body at the build."Hey.!" She called him, "Are you a family of Asher?"Adams frowns at her, "Yes, and you are?""A friend. I need you to trust me and have these men back away. My husband can help your brother but he can only do that if he is not disturbed.""I don't know you, why should I believe you?""Because we both have Asher at our best interests."Adams eyes her and flashes his badge at the securitie
***The insides of Alina tingled. This is their first kiss, their first moment.She could stay in this time lol forever. She knows for sure that once the break the kiss, things are going to be awkward for them, so he allows herself reveal in the moment.She leans forward and kisses him back with just as much passion.Ryan breaks and kiss swiftly, "I am sorry" he apologizes and stands, leaving her all alone."I am not angry!" Alina wanted to yell at him but she already disappeared.Ryan didn't go home that night nor the night after that.While Alina couldn't not get the kiss out of her head, she wanted more of it, more of him.He didn't creep her out the way Dr Thomas senior did and every other male. That is one of the reasons she doesn't want to leave him."I heard the CEO of Nolvani borrowed you some money?" Aunt Sasha entered their apartment. Alina was happy Ryan wasn't home to listen to her family say nonsense again."How did you know?""We came here yesterday, the door was opene
**** "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
