After April dropped the call, she closed her eyes for a good thirty seconds before opening them again. Nick begged her to forgive Fedora and she couldn’t say no. Everyone had their flaws and Dora had already learnt her lesson.She was still in that reverie of thought when her door pushed open and the tall frame of her father entered.“Dad” her lips curved up into a happy smile, she was glad that, that bullet didn’t claim her life. Her father would have missed her so bad.“Princess” he drew her to a hug again, Fray had never been so happy to see his daughter, “how are you feeling now?” He sat beside her as he asked.“Am better”He noticed the sad look in her eyes and his heart broke. She was the only person he had after he lost his wife and seeing her on the hospital bed was too much for him to bear.“I am really glad you are alive pumpkin, what would I have done?” His eyes turned misty, “I was almost losing my mind when you couldn’t speak or do anything. Just lying down and fighting f
“You…you were standing outside?” The look of horror on Emilia’s face was priceless. All the color from her face had been drained away and she looked as white as a sheet.Nick had never been so happy to be in a place he was not invited, he wouldn’t have known of their plans.“Don’t you understand the logic behind privacy?” Nessa fumed.He gave a smirk before lowering himself on the chair in front of them, Nick folded his hands across his chest and leaned backwards.“So you still have the audacity to think of escaping this place?” He asked and paused. The mother and daughter looked scared but were trying to mask it up.“Don’t tell me you think I will allow myself to die in this hell hole nick, I mean I still have to get back at you for the bees” her hands flew to caress her swollen face as she talked. This was the highest point of embarrassment and she was not going to forget it. Damaging her face was as good as killing her.“You shouldn’t have come here nick” it was Nessa who spoke, “d
“I need your help” Emilia told the female guard that was stationed outside the clinical center, her face was no longer swollen But traces of the stings were visible.“What do you want?” The woman asked in an uninterested tone. She looked like she was tired of her job by the way.Emilia who read right through her smiled at the thought of how desperate she would be to get a few thousand dollars.“I just want you to help me get some cans of chlorine trifluoride and I promise to pay you really well”The guards lips went from pursed to an “o”“”Are you kidding me right now?”“I mean, you could save your son if you do that, i overhead you on the phone”The woman became speechless, it was true. Her son was dying of cancer and she has not been able to find his hospital bills. Working as a guard in the female prison didn’t give her the kind of money she needed for her son’s chemotherapy.“I just need you to help me get the cans and I will pay you handsomely, what do you think?” The smirk playi
Nick kept pacing up and down the clinic area, he was literally panicking about Caesar's life. He promised Fedora he was going to bring him home and now?How would he face his sister if anything happened to the man she loved?A lot was going on in his mind when the door opened and the doctors walked out of the room, the look on their faces said otherwise and Nick found himself giving a silent prayer in his mind. Why the hell was he always in this kind of situation? The other time it was his wife and now ceaser? Would fedora be able to bear it if anything happens to him?“How is he, doctor?” Nick immediately asked, “is he okay?”Even as he was asking, he was already dreading their answer.“I’m sorry, we lost him”His world paused for a split second, his mind was unable to comprehend what the doctor just said. Lost him? Like Caesar was dead or what the hell did he mean?“I don’t understand you doctor”“The knife penetrated his abdominal wall to a great extent which affected some major pa
“Hello sir” the police chief greeted as Nick sauntered into the office, “i just finished talking with the president and he says his speech is scheduled for 12 noon tomorrow”Nick lowered himself on the chair opposite him, “then I have only today then”“What do you mean?” The man was confused.“Have you ever come across a case of arson?” His eyes were glued to the man as he asked, he was studying the man intently.“We deal with the case of arson almost every year sir, I think people who are involved in such acts are psychopaths” he cringed as he talked which made Nick smirk amidst his anger.Then he leaned forward, “what if I tell you I am about to commit such a crime?”The chief’s face went from normal to horror, “what?”Why was this man weird? Not only did he bring himself to prison willingly, he was announcing the crime he wanted to commit? Wasn’t he even scared of the law even in the slightest?“See” Nick paused for a second before he continued, “I will let you in on the main reaso
Amidst the cries and pleas of the people inside the room, Xavier went ahead to throw the gas around while having an awkward look on his face.He was also scared, for a man like Nick to pull up this kind of stunt In the prison it meant he had a lot of grounds.“How could you betray me like this?” Alvanon growled at Xavier who gave a fake smile.“Always join the winning team sir”After he was done, the three of them were soiled in the liquid gas and tears were still streaming down their eyes.Gregory was begging but all his pleas fell on deaf ears as Nick dragged him out of the room and the iron bars were locked after Xavier.“Don’t do this wickedness nick” he begged and fell on his knees, “please for the last time”Nick’s lips curved into an emotionless smile, “you should say your goodbyes father”After talking he brought out a lighter from his pants pocket and flicked the light on while twirling it in his hands.“Are you really going to burn them alive?” Xavier had to ask.“I am not d
FIVE YEARS AGOMAY 29th, 2018.Nick Furgesson, twenty seven year old son of Gregory Furgesson had a bright smile on his lips as he made his way to his father’s room to give him the good news but stopped by the door when the conversations from the room filtered into his ears.“He is no longer of any use to us, we should kill him before he gets the wave of it, I am tired of having to pretend around him”What shocked him the most was that this particular voice belonged to his father. The man he had grown to love and idolize more than his whole family. Gregory Furgesson was the world richest man with business scattered all over the globe with a family of five and Nick was the third son so to say with two sisters and two brothers, but why would his father order his death.The next voice he heard almost made him go mad, it was his brother. The eldest of them all and he was the most pleasant in the house, how could he also be in support of the bizarre thing his father just said,“Killing Nic
1st June, 2018The chirping of the bed kept ringing in his ears as he slowly opened his eyes to find himself in a different place. For a moment he closed his eyes and tried to remember where he was or why he was here and that was when the memories came flashing back, the memories of his family wanting him dead.The creaking of the door made him jolt and his eyes traveled to the door and there he was standing, the man that hit him with his car that night.“You are finally awake” came the man’s deep husky voice as he walked up to Nick who was still surprised looking at him.“Where is this place?” Nick asked, the man’s face looked familiar but he couldn’t fathom where he heard his voice or saw his face.“Nick Furgesson” the man muttered and sat opposite him as a smile appeared on his face, “I didn’t know I would meet you in such a way,fate” he added.“Who are you?”“Someone you know and you should be sorry towards” the man replied.A look of confusion appeared on Nicky’s face but the man
