“What are you talking about Vanessa? We are not hearing anything. It's probably just in your mind.”Vanessa froze, her hands poised in mid-air as she tried to a better idea of where the sound was coming from, her face a mask of alertness and caution.But the strange sound soon wore out and she heard nothing again. “Oh, perhaps it's nothing anyway. I thought I heard something,” she said.Koffi and Djene’s face were contorted with a smirk.“Try to get some rest okay? You probably need a little bit of rest and that is why you are hearing strange things. It happens sometimes,” Djene spoke, his voice tinged with a piece of mockery.Djene and Koffi, who were stunned by the news about what Paul did to the Kazitanis agents kept them talking quietly to each other.“I can only wish that when we finally get Paul Leonard in our custody, I will be there when he gets to be tortured. I can't wait to see that happen and if I can participate in the torturing, that would be even much more blissful,” Ko
Djene, not ready to give up so easily gathered all his strength into his legs and exerted enough pressure to swing his legs towards Miriam’s rib area but it was as if his legs were suspended in the air as Miriam used her hands to grab Djene’s legs before twisting his bones dangerously as Djene screamed in agony.Mirian struck a devastating palm strike, her hands lashing out with a blinding speed towards Djene’s chest.Djene felt his soul leave his body as a watery mixture of water and blood spilled out of his mouth with a devastating effect.But Miriam wasn't done with him yet as she used her elbow to prevent him from falling just so that she could unleash more attacks on him.Miriam then delivered an elbow stroke towards Djene’s jaw which shattered every single defence that Djene had. Shockwaves were transmitted through Djene’s body and his muscles quivered at the effect of the rush of attacks on him as his bones creaked in intense pain, sending him to the ground in a heap. There w
Vanessa knew that she was in deep trouble. Her stomach was twisting in knots as she tried to contain the extent of danger that she was. If only there was a way that she could call her bosses and tell them to send agents to her rescue. But her hands were completely tied. She had to refrain from the dangerous act that she was going to do. But was she going to surrender just like that? Miriam wasn't going to pity her because she could tell that she was still very hurt by what happened with Dexter.“If you want to kill me, you can just go ahead and do it,” Vanessa spoke, her voice strong and steady despite the fear that coursed through her veins. Her eyes were flashing with determination. “I know this is about Dexter. You still haven’t healed from his death. But come to think of it, there are a lot of things that you have also not healed from.”Vanessa was referring to the death of Miriam’s parents but she had still not developed the full courage to say it out loud.“You know, Dexter’s d
Djene and Koffi went into the doom of death as the air had been snuffed out of them.Miriam turned to point the same gun towards Vanessa but she was quick enough to defend herself.Vanessa, in a quick burst of action and the speed of lightning quickly picked up Rosette from the grounds in an instant.Vanessa shielded herself desperately with Rosette, her body pressed close to her.Rosette shuddered with a deadly quake of fear and her heartbeat was pounding in her ears as she felt like a light paper the way that she was so easily picked up from the ground. Her thoughts went wild as she darted from side to side with terror. She tried to free herself from the grip but before she knew it, a gun was pressed tightly to the side of her head.The force with which Vanessa pressed the gun against her head was so violent that her head was booming with a destructive quake. She was so sure that she was going to have a headache for two days if she was able to survive the horror that she was experi
Arggghhh! Eeek! Vanessa screamed in pain as she lost a slight grip on Rosette which she quickly took advantage of as she fled away from Vanessa in a sudden motion. Pow!Miriam immediately noticed that Vanessa had been exposed and with her body bracing against the recoil of her gun, she fired a decisive shot on her legs, rendering her crumbling to the ground.Vanessa’s knees were broken by the force of the bullet and she was rendered paralyzed from her knee down to her foot.Miriam then took long strides towards where Vanessa was writhing in pain.“I thought you were running your mouth so vigorously not long ago. What happened to you now?” Miriam mocked, her lips widened in a smug smile.Vanessa had so much disdain in her heart that she couldn't help but spit at Miriam in rejection, her lips curling with contempt. “To hell with you, Miriam!”Vanessa knew that she had lost the contention with Miriam and she was ready to die. She would rather die than beg Miriam like a coward.Miriam to
“Well, I am someone who came to save you,” Miriam responded.“Come on, I already know that. What I really mean is who you are, and where are you from. Who told you about me? Are you sent by my father to save me?”Miriam stylishly dodged the questions as she sipped an energy drink for a long time just to aim for less tension.“I mean, aren't you scared? You have just killed three people just to save me. What if the police come here and find out what you did? How are you going to defend yourself?”“I won't be alone though, would I?” Miriam asked, trying to poke Rosette with some mind games.“Erm, yeah, of course, it is only right that I stand by you but I still need to understand why we are not running for our dear lives because some more of those assassins could still be around.”“Don’t be scared, Rosette,” Miriam spoke calmly. “I can assure you that you are safe with me.”“Alright, thank you. But I need to see my dad. He has been worried about me and I have to tell him the good news a
Even before Sarah got to the wooden bed where Lady Winston was laid, she could see how tormented she was. Lady Winston’s body trembled greatly as if she were a leaf caught in the wind, her body faint and ragged. Her body was ragged with delicate shudders and her skin was pale. Her eyes were also glassy and the bed handles were shaking with effort.Why didn't they let her know that her condition had deteriorated to this extent? Sarah asked within her mind. She didn't like to see her mother suffer in the way that she was suffering. Is this the kind of horrible death that Paul and Doctor Lopez meant for her? Everyone watched with great focus, their eyes narrowed and their attention riveted on Sarah. Some of the other top employees who held big positions with Winston Corporation were also there to witness what was going to happen with Ladu Winston.Only one question was on their mind - Was Sarah going to be the one who would eventually rescue Lady Winston and save her?It was as if Sara
“Yeah, that’s very true. It was never this bad. The foot of the bench is even shaking so much as if it would give way.”“I suggest that they should take her into another larger bed before this one makes her fall - this one is too small, especially with the way that she is convulsing.”“Yeah, that is true. But does this mean that the antidote is not working? I thought Sarah was so sure about what she was administering on Lady Winston.”“My dear, I thought so too. It even looks like the matter is going to get worse and who knows if she will die.”“Stop saying that. She won't die. For the sake of all of us, she better not die. I heard that she was close to having a breakthrough with the company’s finances. If she dies now, how are we going to be paid our previous salaries that have been owed? Frank or Thomas isn't going to take that responsibility on them.”“What then makes you think that Lady Winston would take such responsibility after recovering from a coma that is as dangerous as thi
