SABINE'S POINT OF VIEWI strapped two knives to my thigh and held my gun in hand before I walked into he warehouse. As stealthily as possible, I moved towards where I presumed Luciana was held"Mrs Vitello? you're back? um.... what are you doing?" Lorenzo asked me, shock evident on his face"I'm making sure we don't have a problem" I said before moving in quickly to the room she was inI opened the door to find her still seated but staring at the wall aimlessly "Luciana!" I yelled and she turned to look at me"Oh my dear...... what is going on?" she asked me but I was not fooled. Judging by the sick vindictive look in her eyes, I knew she was still pretending "Enough with the act Luciana!" I said and fired twice, one in her heart and the other between the eyes leaving no room for surprises as she dropped dead before me"Mrs Vitello! what have you done?!" Lorenzo yelled "Call your boss and have him down here immediately" I ordered as I tried to fight the feeling of betrayal in me,

SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW She sat beside me in the car, her entire posture gave off frightened as she shook like a kitten in the cold on the seat. I looked at her as I drove before shaking my head, so far I did not think she was lying but I definitely did not trust her. I looked at the back seat from the mirror to look at the little boy seated there in his car seat, he was a few months old so he was very much a baby, his pacifier fell and he started cryingLike she was scared that I would kill him for crying, she bolted out of her seat to pick it up before cleaning it up and placing it back in his mouth "I'm so sorry, It won't happen again" she whispered as she huddled in the chair as though she wanted it t swallow her up"I will not eat him, I'm not that much of a monster" I said to her, my focus back on the road. The road was clear, the path to he warehouse was quiet bereft of cars, it was the perfect place to conduct illegal activities, far from the prying eyes of others. "Have yo

DOMINIC'S POINT OF VIEW She stared at me perplexed and curious at my response "I'm sorry.... your wife?" she asked looking at me in that way people in her profession looked at their patients; she wanted to place a label on me"Yes, my wife. I find myself doing things I would not do regularly or.... ever with her. She has me...... confused" I said as my heart did that thing it did whenever the thought of her or of her voice or of anything related to her filled my mind, her brown curly wavy hair came to mind as I remembered how she struggled with it every morning, she had no idea but I had a camera in the room so even when I as not physically with her, she was out of my sight . The image of her cursing as she combed or tried to comb her hair came in. That same day, I had one of my housekeepers restock the house with the best products for her hair, all mango scented. Her obsession with the fruit becoming my favourite headache as I did my best to have everything she had mango flavoured

SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW She sat in front of me shaking visibly as I pointed the gun at her "Start talking" I commanded making her whimper audibly as she shrank back in her seat Her posture and demeanor had me thinking about how she ad Luciana were so different, while she was soft in her aura, Luciana desperately tried to mirror that and she failed but it was a hunch of mine that Luciana thought she was good at fooling people but she was horrible at it "What do you want to know?" she asked "I want to know everything from the time of my parents.... and do not try to fool me with that confusion, I know very well that you know exactly who I am" the spark of recognition in her eyes which she tried to hide was too evident to ignore "I remember you, I was your mother's nanny and I cooked for you sometimes" she said avoiding my eyes "Luciana says she was my nanny and cook and she never mentioned you so clarify " I said " Luciana has always been like that..... as a child she w

SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW Knock knock knockThe sound of my soft knocks made me almost chuckle, I remembered what my trainer said to me a few days ago after she beat my ass into the mat, we had trained for hours and my limbs felt like jelly, I was sweaty, sore and tired; I just wanted some sleep but she refused to ordering me to get up so we could go for another sparing match it was the fifth spar in four hours and her punches were a bitch, she hit me without care for the world because'If your bones break, it means you learn a lesson"" And what's that? " I asked as I laid on the mat exhausted and are as I tried to rein in my breathing,.she had just put me through another round of jumping through burning tires because according to her, it would keep me on my feet and I would need the skills it would teach me Incase I needed to fight or jump certain hurdles, I wanted a warm bath but she did not care"Can't we just take a break please?" I had asked her but she only shrugged her shoulder

SABINE'S POINT OF VIEW The car screeched to a halt as I parked abruptly by the road side breathing heavily as my mind spiraled I had no idea how long I had been driving or on the road for but I just knew that my fingers were trembling and my knuckles white I remembered as someone that was me used my own fingers to pull a gun on Dominic, my husband before I drove off after hijacking this car, was vaguely aware of my surroundings but was very surprised that he did not seek me put I looked out the road to see thaty car was the only one in sight, the cold dark night with the flies a blanket of stars surrounded me. I licked my cracked lips and swallowed My throat cracked and raged in need of some water, desperately. I looked around in the car hoping to see some water, I opened the small compartment behind me to see a gun, some knives and a bottle of water. After drinking it like it would be my last, I drove off the road again, no idea where I was driving to but I knew I needed som
