Darren was waiting patiently for the bus at the bus stop. Intentionally, he didn't call Easton to pick him up since he was going to meet him at the hotel anyway. After ten minutes of waiting, he sighted the bus but unfortunately, he couldn't find his wallet."Oh no! I must have forgotten it" he muttered, making a U-turn back to his house. Immediately he got to the door, he heard Anita's voice, grumbling "Darren, save me".He threw his backpack to a corner and scurried inside."What the fuck!" He cursed before hitting Albert, who dropped Anita instantly."What have I done?" Albert questioned himself, trembling already. "Anita, Anita, Anita" Darren called repeatedly and fortunately, she muttered but faintly."If anything happens to my wife, I will not hesitate to roast you like a barbecue" he threatened while Albert ran out.Darren carried Anita in a bridal style into his room, he rushed back to the kitchen to get a bowl of warm water with a clean towel. He sat beside her, massaging he
In a dark house, surrounded by bushes on the outskirts of the city. A young lady was going inside an abandoned building and knocked on the door twice before it opened."Good morning, godmother" she greeted, bending slightly."Morning daughter. I called you to deliver this package to Darren Walter and be careful to avoid getting caught" the woman warned while the lady nodded her head before vacating the place.★★★★★★★★★Darren highlighted from the bus, which was a stone thrown at his hotel. He was waiting by the roadside, waiting for the traffic light to turn red, so that he could cross to the other side of the road. While waiting, something caught his attention.He saw Stella, the former hotel manager who was demoted to a cleaner post, trying to help an old woman with her load. He was still engrossed with the scene when the light turned red and all the waiting passers-by crossed the road. He saw Stella, helping the woman to cross the road to the other side. He was amazed, never would
The place went silent after the trigger was clicked. Some of the Robert family hid under the dining table but blood was splashed on the table."Argh!" The Roberts chairman groaned in pain, holding his right hand which was bleeding profusely with his left hand.Anita fell on the ground, thinking she was already on her way to the afterlife, jerking, opening her eyes that were already closed when she thought the gunshot was for her."No! It can't be! Am I still alive?" She questioned herself, noticing her body was still intact."Chairman! Chairman!! Chairman!!!" Robert's family members kept calling their father whose hand was bleeding. Anita realized that the chairman had just been shot.She instantly removed her heels, holding tightly on her purse, and ran out of the building. She started the car engine and began to drive. She was driving in a zigzag way, which nearly caused an accident. Her mind had gone numb and she was trembling while breathing heavily at the same time.She couldn't
Both Anna and Albert were still thinking of the next option, yet to conclude."I think we should call the family members to seek their opinion. We brought the chairman here, doesn't it mean we should be the architect of the decision" Anna suggested."Yes, you are right. Let's call Aunt and let him involve the other family members" Albert supported, motioning to her to go ahead.Anna dialed one of their aunt's numbers but she didn't pick up."I think we should go home tonight to rethink the decision. I'll send mail to schedule a meeting tomorrow morning to them all" Albert suggested."Do you think they will be available tomorrow? It's Saturday and I'm sure most of them would have booked a section at the spa, cinema, or some other place to have fun" Anna retorted, then took a drop of breath." I think I know what to do. I'll threaten them by informing them about taking a video of the meeting. Anybody absent will give the chairman his or her reason when he wakes up"Albert uttered."Yes!
Albert took a deep breath before he voiced out. "It's the chairman. I heard he woke up and started creating chaos in the hospital, biting the medical practitioners on duty. The doctor requested our presence so that the required tests will be carried out as he already suggested transferring him to a psychiatric hospital after the surgery" He responded."Did you mean he is going crazy?" Aunt asked."He didn't say so, but he needed our consent before carrying out the test" Anna scoffed, not hiding her hatred for that Aunt."You guys should go ahead, I'll join you later. I need to branch somewhere" Aunt carried her bag and didn't wait for anybody to talk before vacating the house.★★★★★★★★Darren was in his hotel room, sorting out some business deals with Easton when his phone beeped. He enjoyed working from his hotel room rather than going to his office. His company had many branches under him, which made him prefer working from his room.He checked his phone and it was a message from hi
Darren couldn't close his eyes till dawn. It was the first time of seen himself in a situation like that. He was helpless and hopeless.The thought of his wife waiting for him at the restaurant crossed his mind. Anita would be disappointed and mad at him.The thought of Easton calling him and not picking him up also made him worried. Easton would never try to track him and if he did, it would still be in void."Welcome to the den of death, Darren Walter. No living soul has ever entered and left here alive and yours would not be the first one" came the voice of the queen mother, which echoed through the wall.The woman walked majestically to where he was tied and removed the sellotape."Worry not, I'll feed your stomach and your eyes before deciding on the best punishment tomorrow" She grinned and wanted to leave when Darren's voice stopped her."What have I done to deserve this? I don't know if I've crossed paths with you and for no reason do I deserve this punishment. My wife is wait
Both leaders greeted, smirking at each other. It was obvious that there was an untold story regarding their meeting."I wasn't expecting to see you here so soon. Had I known, I would have killed your son and sent his corpse to you" Morgan uttered."My son isn't someone to be killed like a rat. You have been threatening his peace for the past few weeks now, which shows you are a weakling. You should have come to me directly so that we can settle the score" Jason replied while Morgan let out a devilish laugh."I'm not a weakling Jason but killing him without seeing him groaning in pain wouldn't be fun. Whereas, I chose to retaliate against him because he was the reason you ignored me!" She fired at him."Will you stop that nonsense? I didn't ignore you, Morgan. I had to protect my home!" Jason defended."Defend your home? Defend your home while my daughter and I were in pain, yelling for your name every night while sleeping in an uncompleted building! I even ran to you when my daughter
Darren was Flabbergasted to see Anita's lip smashed on his lips. Before his mind could digest the event, Anita hurriedly broke the kiss and ran to her room.Darren knew he has fucked up! He knew Anita was embarrassed for not returning the kiss. He caressed his head backward, not knowing what to do. If he had prepared or was expecting it, he would have known how to retaliate."Fool! It's not as if you don't like the taste of her lips. How would be so dumb!" He blamed himself.He put his hand on his heart, which was beating rapidly for the first time in his life. The feelings were so different to the extent that Darren was confused and couldn't know what it meant.He also ran to Anita's room but it was too late. Anita had closed her door."Wife, let's chat please" He begged."You need to rest. Moreso, time has already gone" Anita screamed from the inner side of her room.Darren was left with no other choice than to vacate his room. He slumped on his bed, recalling the event.He used his
