“Why did she run out on me like that? Joe asked the workers, who were equally shocked at Bella's sudden action.Joe could not bear the embarrassment, so he left the restaurant. But not without addressing them formerly as the boss.“Drive me to the club” he commanded the driver as he got into the car.“The club? But we agreed not to go there again” Emily reminded.“I know and I am sorry. It's just that there is something important I need to do” Joe defended.“I just hope it is not something illegal?” She asked.“No it's not,” he replied.“Is it gambling again?” Emily yelled the question.“Of course not!” He yelled back. “I am done with that shit now” Joe assured her.“I just hope so” she sounded as though she was doubting that.“Come on sis. Do not tell me that you do not believe me?” Joe sounded sad about it.“I was only being cautious” she made him know.“We are here” the driver alerted. “Good! Take us in” Joe ordered, and the driver drove in at once.The club was as lively as alway
Mark followed Freddy, who led the way to the warehouse. He had a suitcase in his hand, one which contained excess money.Joe smiled at their departure. His smile was quite mischievous, as though there were a hidden factor behind.The warehouse was an underground basement for hiding hard drugs.They were workers at every corner, performing one duty or the other. “I see this place has grown” Mark commented on the large building.“Yeah! We did our best to maintain it” Freddy boasted.“So, what do I offer you?” Freddy asked his customer.“Cocaine” Mark replied instantly.“Alright then the prices have increased though” Freddy informed.“Come on! I am your buddy, right? So why tell me this?” Mark joked about it.“You know I do not make the prices Mark?” Freddy complained.“How much is the current price then?” Mark asked.Freddy whispered the price to his ears and chuckled after that. “Whoa, that's too much!” Mark exclaimed loudly.“So. Are you purchasing?” Freddy asked.“You sound as thou
“So give us a hint of your plan” Jack commanded the boastful Brian.“We just have to find his weak point” he replied.“Is this a joke?” Jack yelled at him.“No! What do you mean?” Brian asked.“It means that there is no way that can happen” Tyler, the other man replied.“We need to find another clue and fast. I can wait to tear that fool apart” Jack said to them.“Did you see the look on his face?” Joe questioned Emily with amusement. They were in the car and on their way home.“You derive pleasure in mocking people, don't you?” Emily questioned him.“Come on! Wasn't it fun?” Joe propagated. “Of course not! I have told you to stop going to the club, but you would not listen. Every time you go there, it is one problem or the other” Emily poured out.“Fine! I will stop taking you to the clubhouse” Joe yelled.“That is not what I wish to hear bro” Emily voiced out her mind.***Eric struggled to open his door, he had a lady's lips attached to his own. They were both in a rush to get in
He lifted her bedspread and chuckled as he sighted her.Bella pushed him away from her with her leg.Every time he gets drunk, he becomes a demon.“Come to me, I have been waiting for you” he confessed.“I warned you not to drink, didn't I?” Bella yelled as she struggles to run away from him.“You know it makes me happy, don't you?” It was tough to get outside, but she managed to escape. It has become a daily routine since he could not quit drinking. She was unable to take it anymore but leaving her father would be more sad. Besides, it is not his fault he got addicted to drinking. It was because he was betrayed by a friend who sold his company.This habit of drinking is only a sign of depression that may look like a relief to the victim.Bella had tried many times to make him believe that there was actually hope for him, but it was just as if she had been speaking to a dummy.Nothing was more painful than watching her father die slowly. She could not help it anymore.Getting her fa
Joe followed Vanessa into the changing room. He released a groan from his mouth as he had already pictured himself in the clowns uniform and found it to be insulting. “It would never suit me” he commented.It took a while for Joe to change into a clown's costume. By the time he was done, the kids had already arrived and were preparing to begin the games soon.He eventually concluded that the clowns uniform can be a source of promotion for the company, as the children admire this. It was thirty minutes before time, yet the whole place was occupied with a massive number people who took the seats of the spectators.Joe was already contemptible of the large number of people he saw. There was no doubt that this exercise was going to promote his company's name. Mr. Julius, on the other hand, was equally excited.In thirty minutes time the host, who happens to be Georgia, began welcoming people in. Vanessa went about ensuring that everyone and everything was in place.Well, they were exce
We need to end this right now” Joe suggested to Vanessa.“No, Peter, I mean sir. Can't you see it's really fun for the people?” Vanessa insisted.Joe took a deep breath and decided to proceed with Vanessa's idea.He asked her out so he could change.It was a good thing the people were on break. It would allow him some time to get himself together, since he had already been in a hot temper.The children were catching fun all around. Everything that happened earlier did not seem to spoil their mood. It was only part of the show to everyone. No one talked about it anymore.The only reason Joe wishes to end the show was because of Bella's presence in the place.He knew it would bring distractions for him if she stayed. It wouldn't have been a problem if she was alone because he was obsessed with her. Seeing her with Eric only kindled this obsession in him.He knew he would be shy if he dares come out, so he decided to give an excuse to escape that.He plans to leave were however shattered
Vanessa stood and watched them the whole time. The book she held fell off her hands. She used her finger to wedge off tears from her eyes. She never thought Peter would love anyone else but her. So sad how he has moved on and forgotten completely about her.Vanessa was not ready to take this, something needed to be done. She must appear in Peter's life again regardless of what. The fact that her father had to plot to take over the company and was caught does not make it her fault that she would have to bear the pain alongside.“I must get her lover back at all cost” Vanessa determined to herself.***Joe had completely lost his attention to the children's presentation. Bella and Eric were no longer around the area. His mind thought of her all through the present children's presentation.He suspected that Eric was only using Bella based on her weakness, but what he cannot seem to figure out was what Eric's plan was?“Well, whatever Eric's plan was? It sure wasn't a good one” Joe th
“Bella Chase” he called her name and waited for a reply."Yes, manager" she replied as he intended.“You are fired!” The former said to her.“Fired?” Bella repeated.“Yes. That is right” he replied to her.“What have I done, sir?” Bella questioned as her mood changed to that of a sad, innocent girl.“I am sorry Bella, but it was not my will but that of the owner of the restaurant says he does not want you working here any longer” the manager spoke.“What is his complaint?” Bella questioned with her feet stamping the floor. She was in tears and did not know what to do?“He did not give a specific complaint, he just kept grumbling, mentioning your name.“That to trickster. I knew he would never change”“By the way, how do know the boss?” The manager asked with great concern.Bella ignored the question and left the restaurant. She was boiling with rage. She could not wait to hear the actual reason why Peter had made up his mind to terminate her employment.Bella got into a taxi and heade
Peter blinked his eyes opened. “Oh, thank God you are alive Peter!” The doctor commented.“Doctor Sam?”.“Yes Peter, it's me”.“How about Eric?” Peter asked.“He is still breathing but hasn't woken up” the doctor replied.“Who is that?” Eric asked.“It's some kind of old man that offered to save you guys, I heard”.“Can you do me a favor?” Peter pleaded.“What kind of favor?”“You are an expert in plastic surgery, right?” Peter asked.“Peter! What are you asking me to do?”“I will pay you, massively. Please help me” he pleaded with the doctor.“You may lose your life?” The doctor warned.“Not me, them”.****His hands were handcuffed while the cops led him into their vehicle.There was another patient on a stretcher being led into the ambulance by paramedics.He appeared to have lost so much blood and could hardly breathe.***The news was all over the media. The true identity of Eric, a killer. Joe's name was finally cleared from his charges, and he can now live freely if he surviv
Attention!! Unit one, you shall be surveying the park. Two! You shall take the street that leads to the park . Three take the look out, the rest team will be coming with me. I want ears and eyes strictly focused" the chief of police gave the command.They were all armed with guns and bulletproof. They began setting out immediately the command was given to them.***The building was covered in cobwebs and scanty weeds grew in some corners. That was the only thing that made it look old. The building was in the abandoned park.It stood in the middle of grown trees that lacked wild lives.Eric had sent words to Joe to meet him there.He made sure to have positioned his men in strategic places.His plan was to kill Joe on arrival, but he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to have a conversation with him.Joe on the other hand only had five men with him, which he took to the park with him.No one knew what his plans were? Not even his sideman Freddy."This could be the end of our lives,
She was still lost in thought and did not notice the car that almost ran her over. Thanks to Joe who pulled her out of the way. "Are you insane?" Joe yelled at her. "You almost got yourself killed" he reminded.Emily snapped out of her thought and took a glimpse of the environment which she was and patted her head softly with her hand.Jow supported her as she almost fell after she had realized her actions. She smiled at him warmly and rapped her hands around his neck."I thought you left me" Emily whispered to his ears as it was near her lips. She closed her eyes slowly as her sight faded."Emily!" He yelled her name."Get out of the way!" Occupants of vehicles kept yelling at them.Joe took Emily in his arms and dashed out of the road in order to fulfill the road users demands.Emily's body was cold and getting stiff. It occurred to Joe that she had spent the night outside."Eric will pay for this" He muttered those words to himself.Joe took Emily to an apartment and laid her on
SEVEN YEARS AGO“BANG! Was the next sound that was heard in the church hall while the door of opened.The groomsman came running with force and anxiety all over his face.“The groom is missing” the groom's man spoke, as he struggled to wipe off his sweats that resulted from a thorough search.He was pushed out of the way by the bride, who headed for her parent's sit. She had tears constantly rolling down her cheeks, which made her makeup ware off gradually as she ran towards her parents.She tried to speak, but was choked with tears. Her tear stained face was puffy and swollen with grief, crestfallen, she realized that her only chance to succeed was gone. However, proving the guest wrong was her aim. Her stunning wedding dress which had buried her suited her perfectly as she was groomed beautifully for this day. Today would have been the most remarkable day of her life if it wasn't screwed up by her groom. Did her suppose groom reject her in the last minute of the wedding ceremony. I
Stop the car!" She demanded all of a sudden."What is it?" The driver barked at her."I want to urinate" she complained."I am sorry but you can not do that" the driver replied."Let her go, it's not like she would fly away would she? Besides it's night she can't hold herself any longer" Bella mentioned.The driver's partner whispered something into his ears and immediately, he allowed Emily to go urinate.After a while of waiting, Emily was no longer showing forth. Bella suggested that one of them look for her. The driver's partner went himself to check for her, but couldn't find her. He then called the driver to assist him in the search.As they both departed from the truck, Bella got in to the driver's seat. She then whispered to Emily who was hiding behind the truck.She got into the car quickly, and Bella drove off."No no!" The men yelled as they saw the truck moving, they tried following it but could not catch up.***Siren sounds could be heard outside the cinema. It showed
They arrived at the cinema not long before the drive. It was their usual spot when they were in love as friends. That was the same cinema they had their first kiss.She and Joe usually went there to have fun.They both located a good seat and took popcorns on their hands."I wonder what we are going to be seeing today?" Joe tried to figure out."Let us hope it would be in our taste" Imelda said.She had actually compelled him to take her to the cinema house. She believed it would calm him down, since he had a lot in his mind.The lights went out and the large screen before them shone brightly it's light.Joe relaxed his back on the seat while he prepared himself to watch something interesting.He happened to look around for nothing in particular but his attention actually went to someone that sat about four seats from Imelda."What is that freak doing here?" He questioned himself, referring to the one he saw. He felt uncomfortable all of a sudden and was infuriated. He recognized the
The day had jerked back to its usual yet the gossip and headlines weren't changing. Imelda was sighted sitting on her couch and focused on her TV screen before her. The famous CEO of starlight company escapes from prison. Why is it that everything revolving around himwas known by the public? It made her miserable that she growled, kicked her legs and gasps and even cried. It seems she was the queen of tears, since she had always been in pain for the last seven years. Nothing breaks her heart than seeing Joe suffer. She was having a rollercoaster of emotions. Her phone kept ringing countless times. She picked the call, hoping Emily had been found.***“The police are coming! The police are coming!” Everyone was alerted and Eric demanded that they as lol move out.They haven't each spent an hour in this hide out, and the police had already tracked them.Eric did not see this as a mere coincidence, someone must have given their whereabouts to the police.“Emily perhaps” he suspected. Sh
The house was empty. The occupants have all fled.Joe instructed his men to storm all over the house again. He was furious that Eric got away. “I will kill that bastard when I get him” Joe stormed angrily.“Sir! We found an underground basement. They followed it quickly and saw that it led outside. “So that was his lucky move?” Joe commented.He ordered two of his men to wait behind, just in case Eric needed to take something from the house. While he and the others went back.***“Where are they taking us?” Emily asked Bella with fright based on how the truck kept bumping onto something.“Shh! Keep it low, else we could be caught discussing with one another.“I am fed up with this Bella” she cried. “This truck stinks” she further confessed.“I am scared Bella” Emily confessed.“Don't be because Eric still thinks I am on his side."If he is not aware you are against him, then why are you locked in the back of the truck with me?” Emily sounded doubtfully.“He just wanted me to keep a
She held the gun tight with her hands and turned the key to open the door. She was scared, but trust her instinct as she held a gun. No one would dare do a thing to her with the gun on her hand? That was her thought."You may come in" she instructed.No one seemed to be opening the door as she waited. She held the door knob and contemplated whether to open.She finally opened the door and pointed her gun quickly to no one.Emily was shocked to see that nobody was standing behind the door.She held her gun firmly in her hands and made an attempt to check outside.She allowed the gun go before her. Unfortunately for her, her gun was seized in a flash and was pointed back to her head compelling her to walk backwards into the room.A spray containing chlorofoam was sprayed at her and she fell asleep. She was placed on the shoulder and taken into a black mobile that drove away.***The blind fold was taken off her face and she could see the environment which she was clearly."Hello Emily"
