Richard wore a black shirt, knee length pair of shorts and sandals walking into the room. Besides the three guards he walked in with, two more came in both carrying torches which immediately lit up the room. Julia looked at the six men staring her down and felt like she was going to collapse. She felt very hungry and was consequently losing her strength, but there was no way she was going down without a fight
"Young lady, you came into the lion's den, all by yourself and now you are tied like a criminal in the dungeon awaiting your miserable death." he said stooping down to her level and staring at her cold eyes"Yes i did it. I bombed the place. But for me to kill a beautiful young woman like yourself will be completely uncalled for don't you think? But then again if i hadn't caught you who knows what you would have done?" Julia spit into his face further infuriating him. Out of nowhere a cold hard slap landed on her face while Richard stood to his feet clRicky felt like he was in some car racing tournament moments after he told Joshua the truth. Joshua wanted to get home at that point, he couldn't just go to Richards house he was unarmed. All he wanted was to arm himself and then leave. But he still couldn't figure out why Julia would be in a dungeon in Richard's house."Did he find out about their relationship?" he asked himself but there was no true telling to that. Another possibility crept in, Julia was an assassin, so maybe Richard had been the target? But he immediately dismissed it, Julia wouldn't kill Raymond's father she loved him. Or so he thought. After struggling to come up with a possibility that makes sense Joshua and Ricky finally arrived home. He immediately got out of the car but was greeted by a sharp pain to his chest. He was still bandaged and his wound not fully recovered, but that was the least of his problems. He wanted Julia in the house, in his sight and safe! He didn't care what she trained in
Julia had subsequently grown numb from all the pain, her feet being something she wasn't sure she still had. She struggled to open her eyes, eyelids heavy and body threatening to pass out. She released a painful cough, her gaze sweeping around the area and she realize she could no longer see properly. Everything seemed blurry, and a voice had her turning to trace it"Boss, at this rate she might die. She is weak." one of the men said. Richard walked closer and examined her. Although her vision was blurred, she could see him looking closely into her scarred face, she wished he would kill her already, the pain being unbearable any longer. But before she died, she saw it as a chance to satisfy her curiosity. Why did this family possess a picture her mother possessed as well. Maybe she once worked for them they were a rich family, and her mother was a maid"The...that picture." she whispered just as she let out a dry cough, blood almost splattering on Richard
Julia felt like puking, and Raymond froze in place. As for Joshua, he was still trying to understand what in the world was happening at that point. Almost a whole minute passed with all four quiet, the revelations sinking in. It was then that the sent guard walked in with a singles mattress and a blanket. He went on to carefully place quivering Julia on it and covered her with the blanket, the four victims still wound up in their different thoughts"Whoaa wait wait what the hell did you just say to Julia?!" fumed Raymond forcing himself out of Joshua's grip and he similarly did not bother to shove him back. He was too baffled to"You were not going to shoot me were you?" mumbled Raymond"Of course not!" cursed Joshua his gaze finding his wife, "What do you mean bombed our farm what are you talking about?" he asked further confusing a confusion struck Raymond"You know what? How about we let father do all the talking and we do all t
Joshua made a slight knock before entering Raymond's house a whole three months later. It had been one hell of a task for all of them to live through the trauma, and even harder to tell Helen since she was pregnant but Raymond did still, she had to know. Non of them had healed since then but they were trying "Hey." he said walking over to the bed where he sat with a pile of papers work subsequently being the only thing keeping him sane. "Hey come on in." he smiled carefully placing the papers away before going to join him on the couch. Joshua helped himself to the wine on the little table before him, pouring another glass for Raymond. Nothing was the same anymore, and that was the first time they were seeing each other since that dreaded day "I just wanted to check on you." said Joshua with a sip. Raymond gulped the wine liquid at one go, then poured in more "How have you been? I'm sorry i couldn't reach out i just..." "Its okay. You don't hav

"Will you stop that already! You have been on it for the past thirty minutes!" Joshua says to his friend.The guy had been roaming around the room non stop, only stopping to fill up his wine glass "I'm frustrated i am pissed i have never been this miserable in my entire life!Why did this have to happen why did i have to meet her i was just minding my own business bro and to top it up she is just some blind girl she is supposed to have eyes and not my heart!"

After a long and exhausting flight Helen was just but glad to finally arrive home that late afternoon. She could not wait to meet her family but above all, her secret love. If her brother ever found out about that one he wouldn't hesitate to shove her into the next available flight and fly her back to Qatar. Laughing at that silly thought she got out of the plane and made her way to meet whoever was there to welcome her. She hoped her dad or even her annoying brother had come but like always non of them were there, only the guards. Sighing in disappointment, she handed over her bags and paced out of the airport to shove herself into the blue mercedes which immediately drove off."Where is my father?" she asked the driver who remained mute."Driver...?" she took off her shades and it was then that she realised she did not know the man driving her."Where is Dominic? Who are you?!" she asked but the man remained silent his dark shades not doing any jus
"Who was that?" Helen asked as soon as Darian got off the call"Your saviour. He is coming to save you, happy?""Raymond?""No. Joshua. He likes to play hero and parades himself like he is the king of the underworld. I will show him i play better than him when he gets here. He stepped on the wrong toes this time." Helen could not help but gawk at the monster standing before her. She was worried about Joshua the most now and hoped he brings someone along hopefully the police else Darian would hurt him"Why would you want Joshua here alone and what has it all got to do with me...with us? Who are you?""Well darling you will get to know soon. If he does not show up here by seven i will feast on you in a way that will haunt you for life. So pray he shows up!""But why do you have so many men to capture one person? Please, please dont hurt Joshua please i am begging you." she said struggling to control her tears. Scary looking Darian shot h
