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
Sarah shared in Janet’s panic, her eyes wide with terror and her body trembling with confusion. Sarah had her heart in her mouth as she prayed silently for Lady Winston to get back to consciousness. The extreme convulsion was definitely a function of the antidote, she thought.But was it something that was going to get better? She wasn't sure what was going to happen but she hoped that Lady Winston better respond positively. She couldn't even start imagining the way that Frank and even Janet were going to turn on her if she died just after giving her the drug that was meant to be the antidote.“Yes, let’s just be patient. She would get better,” Sarah responded. Her voice was low and uncertain and her body language betrayed her doubt.That was the most unsure response that she had ever given to someone in her life.She started replaying in her mind the moment when she fought with Doctor Lopez. What if the bottle Doctor Lopez showed to her actually wasn't the antidote? What if it was on
One of the agreements she had with Janet and the others that led to her getting the antidote was that she was going to be recognized as the hero and everyone would be made to respect her.But could it be that Janet had forgotten so soon or she was intentionally trying to steal her glory?Frank, whose scrutiny and suspicion had melted walked towards Lady Winston, his face edged with concern. “Do you not remember where you are?”Lady Winston looked around once again in an attempt to decode further what she was experiencing. “Oh, yeah. I remember, you are Frank and you are Janet. You are also Thomas, where is Estevan? I remember Estevan is supposed to be her too.”Estevan pulled towards Lady Winston and embraced her tightly. “Of course, I am here, Mum. I am so happy that you are back. I am so happy that you didn't die. I was so scared.”“You see, that is what I don't quite understand. I remember you all but I don’t know why there is a crowd here and why they are all looking at me as if I
