After a while, Mustapha started to lower his hands. He smiled and picked up the suitcase he had dropped. "You do not have the balls to pull that trigger," he told Xavier. "Or do I?" Xavier said and pulled the trigger as he aimed it at Mustapha's left leg. Mustapha let out a loud cry of agony and fell on his ass as he gripped his foot and cried out, "fuck! Fuck you! Son of bitch! What did you just do to me?!" Mustapha yelled. "I shot you. That is what I did. And you had a better mind that dirty language of yours when you are around me because it might be your last." Xavier threatened. "How... What sort of a gun is that?!" Mustapha asked Xavier. "Oh? This little thing?" Xavier said. "Just something that my gang had been working on. Can you believe it? We finally succeeded." Xavier answered. "With this new creation and others as well, we can easily take over the entire Mafia," Xavier added. "Mr. Cranston will hear about this. You and your family will go down the drain once we turn
Devon POV: The wedding reception got over and we were back in the mansion once again. Tamira had been silent throughout the whole thing and appeared to be very sleepy. We went to her room together and she entered while I stood at the door. A few minutes later, Mrs. Wilson came to me. "What are you doing?" Mrs. Wilson asked me. "I'm guarding Tamira's room just as I used to," I replied. Mrs. Wilson gave me an awkward look, "guarding her room?" she questioned. "Yes, " I answered. "Get in there. You are her husband now and you have the right to sleep in the same bed with her." Mrs. Wilson said to me. "On the bed. Not on the floor. I will still keep coming to check." she added. "Yes madam," I said and opened the door. Tamira had not locked it. I walked up to her bed and stared down at her. She was already asleep. I lay there decide her and with a distance. Mrs. Wilson watched for a while and then left. Mrs. Wilson POV: The more I torture Tamira then the greater chance I would hav
*The next morning*I woke up to the loud screeching sound of a female scream and received a slap the second I opened my eyes. "What the!" I said as I immediately sat up in bed. "What happened?! Was there a cockroach? A spider? What?! Speak up already!" I said to Tamira."No, you perverted idiot! What are you doing in my bed?!" Tamira screamed at me. "Just that and you started to scream like a Banshee?!" I yelled back at her. "Just?! Just?! What gave you the right to enter my room and sleep in the same bed as me?!" Tamira shouted. "Well, for one, I am your husband and I have the absolute right," I said to Tamira. "And secondly, this was your mother's doing and not mine. Probably, she is trying to push you to your limit." I said to Tamira. "How do you mean?" she asked me. "Are you that ignorant of the kind of person your mother is? It's a clear thing. She is trying to force you into meeting up with your lover boy." I replied to Tamira. "Devon is not my lover boy." Tamira retorted
Devon POV: Xavier got up almost immediately after Tamira did and I found it suspicious because of the way he kept glancing back at her. "Excuse me," I said to Mrs. Wilson and got up. I went in search of Xavier just in case and found him when I was going up the stairs. He was standing under the staircase but I could see part of his phone. How come he was watching the front of Tamira's room door? Wait... Did he... I walked faster up the stairs and I hoped Tamira was not saying something she was going to regret saying later. On my way to Tamira's room, I spotted the particular camera that faced her door. I knew that kind of camera to have a very penetrating recording system when it comes to listening to people's conversations. I slowed my pace and entered the room casually because I knew that he will not just be listening but also still watching. I entered Tamira's room and somehow managed to see the name of who she was calling on the phone. It was Alex. Damn it! This girl was goi
I waited in my room and watched through the same camera on my phone. Roco came out of the room with Tamira and a car key in his hand. Where were they planning to go?I came out of my room and followed them at a safe distance. Tamira sat in front and Roco stayed in the driver's seat.They drove out of the gates and I entered my car and drove after them. I made sure that would not be seen and after some blocks where passed, Roco stopped the car and dropped Tamira in front of a building.She waved at him and he continued the rest of the way without her. That was strange... I followed Roco instead of watching Tamira. She was none of my business after all.He continued to drive for twenty minutes more and I was beginning to question if he was going someplace within this country or out because the entire drive from the mansion was a full-on one hour.He kept taking strange turns and sometimes I felt like I had already gone past some places. I've had enough of this! I went closer and closer
I didn't know if it was just his bad aim or my good luck but thankfully, Xavier's bullet scratched me only on the side of my stomach.I used the shovel and covered up the hole in which I had I had thrown Xavier. I wondered why he had a shovel in the booth of his car. Until I saw the shovel, my original plan was just to throw him into the thick bushes.I finished up and drove Xavier's car into a corner in some different set of bushes that hid it well. Now how will I get back to the mansion? This place is empty. The longer I stay away then the higher any suspicion of me would grow.Just as I was stuck wondering how to get back, I saw a truck far off. I ran towards the road and stood at the roadside as I waited for the truck to come near me. I made sure to hide the side of my stomach with my other hand and I waved at the truck. "Hey! Hey! Help! Please pull over!" I shouted. Luckily for me, I was noticed and the truck driver stopped near me.I went to the truck and looked through its win
In the heat of the moment, I wondered if I could tell Tamira about Xavier. How I was almost killed and that was how I found out about the Will.Still, I wasn't sure if Xavier's words were the truth. Me being swapped with Tamira at birth and Mr. Wilson handing everything to me.But why would Xavier use that as a form of lie? There is some truth in what he said and until I find out for sure, I cannot let Tamira know about anything concerning it and about me killing Xavier. I don't know what she will start viewing me as."You know... Underneath all the arguments and quarrels they usually had, I thought they loved each other but this changed everything. Even while their father was sick, his mother seemed to only care about his money and property. On the day of the reading of the Will, the Will was nowhere to be found." Tamira said and then scoffed."Maybe they weren't mentioned in it after all," she added."You mean you believe what I am saying?" I asked her, surprised at how she took it
Tamira POV: I opened my eyes and found myself in a strange place. My first thoughts were 'Where the hell am I?' Suddenly, I recalled what had happened earlier. It was my mother. I had to get back to the mansion. I don't know what she would do to Devon. I can't let her harm him. I dipped my hand in my pocket and at the same time looked around for my purse. My mother had abandoned me here with nothing, not even a phone. Now I am done with it. I fell to my knees in a burnt surrounding with which I felt no familiarity and I cried my eyes out. What am I supposed to do now? I'm trapped here and will most likely starve here. After some minutes passed and it was slowly beginning to approach the night, I got on my feet. I could not just seat and wait for my fate to be decided by my situation. I had to find someone or at least some place which I can recognize my way back home through. I went in search of a road I could follow and in no time, I found one. I walked for what felt like hours w
