CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL The unknown package
It was days after Rebecca returned back home, she had finally agreed to move in with Eric after giving it enough thought, and she picked today to move her things to his house.Eric was busy, there was an urgent board meeting so he couldn’t be with her to help her pack her stuff.Whitney and Ella took a day off work just to help her and she was indeed grateful for the friends she had.As Whitney carried the last box into the truck, she spotted a teddy bear bulging out, it couldn’t fully enter the carton. She pulled it out and her eyes dimmed the moment she saw it.She dropped it in the box after a thorough stare at it, and then slowly moved her gaze to Rebecca who was happily chatting with Ella few distance away.No matter how she tried to understand her friend, she just couldn’t understand her to a point. Rebecca had always reveal her hatred for Axel because of what he did in the past, but why did she still have this teddy with her? Why not thrash it?She was there when Axel handed th

”Nice flowers.” Wendy commended as soon as Rebecca entered the room. Rebecca on the other hand didn’t pay attention to what was said. She was lost in a world of her own thought. She didn’t see the face of the biker, but from the sound of his voice, she could tell who it was. It was a voice she would recognize anytime, any day. The voice of the devil who haunts her in her dream. A pat on the shoulder brought her back to reality. She jerked and the flower slipped from her hands, but Wendy caught it before it could fall to the floor.“Thank you.” She mumbled.“You are welcome… By the way, was it Mr Eric that sent you the flowers?” Wendy wanted to know so badly. Because why didn’t the delivery guy hand over the flower to her? Why did he insist on giving it to Rebecca himself? Wendy thought it was something important and secretive, but it was just flowers. Or was there any other package given to Rebecca? Did she hide it? Wendy was so curious.“No.” Rebecca’s short reply added to her

As Rebecca walked out of the house, Wendy tried as much as possible to stop her but all to no avail.“Mr Eric would get angry if you leave without telling me your whereabouts. By the way, it’s getting late and he’ll return soon.” She had tried all she could to persuade her but Rebecca was stubborn. She needed answers and she would get it. She took a taxi to Ella’s apartment and fortunately the sitting room door was opened slightly, indicating Ella was home. As she was about to enter the living room, she heard familiar voices chatting, more like an argument. She wanted to go inside and see what was making them raise their voice at each other, but her steps halted when she heard these words, “You can’t lie to me! I know you called Axel.” Her heart skipped a beat at the mention of his name. What were they talking about? And who called him? Unable to suppress her curiosity, she walked into the house and the two girls were shocked to see her.“Rebecca?” Whitney called, flabbergaste

Whitney and Ella could be seen pacing to and fro in front of the ward Rebecca was in. Immediately Rebecca passed out, they called for emergency and the ambulance arrived in no time. The doctor in charge of Rebecca’s treatment walked out of the ward and they rushed to him immediately.“What happened to her? Will she be okay?” Ella questioned. The doctor’s lips curled up in a charming smile, and they both wondered why he was smiling in such situation.“It’s good to see you genuinely worried about her, she’s so lucky to have both of you.” He commended. “Thank you, but is she okay?” Whitney asked. She wasn’t concerned about his comments on their friendship, that was the least of her problems, but she also didn’t want to sound rude to him.“She’s fine. Her body reacted to shock… By the way, what was going on before she passed out?” The doctor asked keenly.“We were having a normal conversation. Now, if you don’t mind, can we go see her?” Whitney asked.“Sure, you can.” “Thank you.” El

Rebecca pulled her wrist away from Axel’s hand and then moved away from him.“My husband is here, please leave.” The urgency in her voice wasn’t unnoticed. She watched as Axel covered his face with the hoodie and left the ward silently, which was strange. Because she knew Axel so well, he would have tried to protest and won’t leave till she pleads. Something was strange, but she just didn’t know what it was.****** Eric was getting tired of Whitney’s narration, he needed to see Rebecca and Whitney was delaying him by telling story of how Rebecca passed out in the middle of their conversation. Earlier, he was getting ready to leave the company when he received a call from Wendy that Rebecca left home. He called Rebecca non stop but she didn’t pick, he called Whitney too and she also didn’t pick. It was only Ella that answered her call and told him Rebecca was admitted at the hospital. He headed straight to the hospital and met Whitney and Ella at the reception, they were surpri

The drive to Eric’s house was awkward, their last conversation had ended and no one said a word to each other. The girls had a lot on their mind, but they couldn’t say it out because of the presence of Eric and his driver whom were at the front seats. Rebecca was still feeling dizzy, she just couldn’t wait to get home so she would sleep. She had been so stressed lately, and she wished she could go back to when things were just between her, her friends and Eric. She didn’t know why Axel had to return, because ever since he came back, she had lost her peace. They arrived home in no time and after having dinner, she went straight to her room and slept off. While Whitney and Ella were taken to the guest room. She slept well that night and when she woke up, it was already morning and Eric wasn’t in the room. She stood from the bed and went to check the bathroom, but he wasn’t there.“Where did he go to so early?” She muttered, going to take her phone from the bedside table. The d

It was her final decision, and no matter what, she would go through with the plan. She wouldn’t trade her peace of mind for anything.“Are you sure?” Whitney asked. The plan sounded good but it was scary. How would they find his address? What if the plan fall through? Surely he’s going to come for her and he meant what he said the previous day.“I’ve never been sure about anything.” Rebecaa replied, thrashing all the second thoughts going through her head.“Then how do we get to Axel?” Whitney questioned.“You still have his number, right?” Rebecca asked. “Yes, but…”“Worry about nothing, I’ll deal with it.” Whitney nodded slowly.****** Rebecca remained quiet as Whitney answered the question asked by the policeman. They had gone to the police station to report the case beforehand, it was part of her plan.“Investigations are currently going on, and there’s no proof the man killed the lady.” The officer said. They were in the questioning room and was being questioned by the ca

AXEL’S PRIVATE BUILDING* In a large bright room, Axel was asleep on the bed and Trent was seated close to the bed. His gaze fixed on Axel the whole time, especially the arm that was wrapped with a bandage. Axel slowly opened his eyes and the first thing it came in contact with was Trent’s face. He tried to sit upright but pain hit from his arm. He groaned and still sat upright, resting his back on the bed frame. “I’m wondering if you’re an imposter, cause this isn’t the Axel I used to know.” Trent said, giving him and indifferent look. Axel didn’t question his statement, he knew what Trent meant by that. Axel Thomas Leonard wouldn’t go for an exchange and get shot in the process. He does the shooting, not the other way round. Last night, after returning from the hospital where he went to see Rebecca, he went for a drug exchange, with few of his men. Things turned out nasty, and he got shot in the arm.“What were you thinking about? Because you were clearly not in your righ

She could feel his hot breath on her face and she was tempted to open her eyes to see how close his face was. Just as she was about to do so, she felt his soft lips on hers. Her breath hitched immediately, and even though she knew it would lead to this, it still took her by surprise. His lips were warm and soft, and as he sucked her lower lip into his mouth, she felt a spark of electricity. Her body remained still, her legs stayed rooted to the ground as if they were glued there. All of a sudden, he pulled away, leaving her hanging with her eyes closed. Rebecca felt he stopped because she wasn’t reciprocating. To confirm if her assumption was right, she located his neck and wrapped her hands around it. She leaned it, and when she couldn’t feel his lips, she opened her eyes. She felt ashamed when Axel chuckled, but it transformed to satisfaction when he claimed her lips. Her eyelids closed voluntarily and her hand tightened around his neck as she gave in to the worl
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL His cravings
Regret; it was little to what Rebecca felt at that moment. This wasn’t how she pictured the conversation to end. Axel had made up his mind to go away from her life completely, and even though she had craved for this moment, it hit her like a storm. She had no where to go to, Eric was still searching for her. But being with Axel, was like an eighty percent safety guaranteed. Without him, she wouldn’t be able to hide from Eric for long, she wouldn’t be able to find the clan, she wouldn’t be able to claim her father’s properties. How could she be so foolish??? She cursed herself and ran after Axel, calling his name repeatedly, but neither did he stop nor turned. She hastened her steps and was able to get to his front, finally stopping him from walking further. She panted heavily, trying to catch her breath. He stared down at her, his face expressionless. Even though he didn’t display any expression, she could tell the question going through his mind;What do you want?
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Off her life
She was too shocked to say a word. She just stared at him, with different thoughts running through her mind. She stood up and took slow steps towards him.“You grew up to be so beautiful.” Thomas commended, smiling at her. When she got close to him, her steps halted. “What…what are you doing here, sir?” She didn’t want to think it was what she was thinking. Everyone at the orphanage knew Thomas to be a good man. He always showed up with gifts and money, helping the kids in any area they needed help with. The head matron assumed Rebecca was his favorite because he was more concerned about Rebecca’s well being, than the others.“You don’t look happy to see me. I’m hurt.” He held his chest dramatically.“I…” She didn’t know the right words to say. She was perplexed.“I know you have many questions going through your mind right now, and I need you to calm down. Take a deep breath and ask accordingly, I’ll answer the ones I can.” He spoke softly. Her brows etched, and at tha
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL The man behind it
Rebecca kept on checking if their car was being followed by the black car, but fortunately, it wasn’t. She sighed in relief and turned to the front, where she could see the driver from her seat. “What do we do about Kira, what if they try to hurt her?” She asked. “They won’t.” He replied, his gaze focused on the road. “How did you know so?” She questioned curiously. “Because she isn’t the one they’re after.” He spared her a stare. Fear gripped Rebecca immediately. One name kept ringing in her head. ‘Eric’ Thousands of questions filled her mind, but she had no answer to any of them. “Try to contact Kira with the bud, so we can pick her up and head to the airport.” He didn’t reply, and she thought he didn’t hear her, so she repeated her words; loud and clear this time around, but still no reply. She became confused. It was obvious he could hear her, then why wasn’t he replying? She unfastened her seatbelt and moved to the front, using the front seat belt. “Why aren’t
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL A hot chase
As the car drove speedily, the force of the breeze from the window blew Rebecca’s hair all over her face. She was in the car with Kira and a guy, driving to the airport. It was finally the day she would be traveling to Italy and Axel wasn’t around. He promised to meet them at the airport. She had asked where he went to, but as usual, he ignored her question and told her Kira would come pick her up. She was at the back seat with Kira, while the car was being driven by an unfamiliar guy, probably someone Axel instructed to drive them to the airport. The drive was silent, not because she didn’t have anything to say, but because Kira had all her attention focused towards her phone, and talking to her would be a waste of time. All of a sudden, the car stopped in the middle of the road, and Kira looked up from her phone.“Why did you stop?” She asked.“It seems we are being followed.” His reply came with a hint of urgency. Kira’s brows raised, “Followed? How sure are you?”“
CLAIMED BY THE DEVIL Frustrated Eric
She saw an almost invisible smile appear on Axel’s face, but it disappeared immediately. Why was he happy she agreed? She shrugged the thought off and took a deep breath. Growing up, she’d always been portrayed as a weak child, no one saw the value in her. They didn’t think she had potentials. She was tired of being seen as a weakling, she was tired of being used, she needed to stand for herself and prove them all wrong. But then, a question lingered in her head.‘Is he proud of me for making this decision?’ Her father was able to hide his identity from her and her mum, and it meant one thing; he didn’t want them to get entangled in his dark world. But here she was, stepping into it.‘Would he relent me for going into the world he’d been trying to protect me from, or would he be proud of me for taking over his legacy?’ She tried to think through it, but the only answer she could get was that, whatever decision she’d make now, would determine her future. And she didn’t

“Be free tomorrow, I’ll need your help.” He said instead. He patted Trent’s shoulders and walked out of the room, leaving Trent with a troubling question, ‘Why would the man want to hurt Rebecca in the first place?’ When Axel got to his room, he took of his jacket and fell flatly on the bed, like he had no life in him. “And if you don’t keep to your promise?” The grey haired man had asked him.“Then you can go ahead and kill her, it won’t bother me.” He gave his words.“Why are you so concerned about her?”“I’m not, I’m only doing my job.” He had replied after being quiet for a while.“I pray you do your job well, cause if you go back on your words, I’ll make sure she have a reunion with her father.” Those words Echoed in his head, he couldn’t stop thinking about it. He took a deep breath, calming his nerves. He muttered something incoherent and after that, he took out his phone, getting ready for another sleepless night****** Rebecca stood at the balcony, observing the m

“If I were in your shoes, Becca…” He took a brief pause. She noticed he was trying to refrain himself, and she couldn’t help but wonder why. “I would dive into the real world, and take what rightfully belongs to me. And for those who have hurt me, I’ll make them beg for death. But…” Her eyes lit in curiosity, but again, he took a brief pause. ‘fucking talk if you want to’ She suppressed the urge to scream those words at him “You won’t do any of that.” His tone was firm, turning to her direction. Her eyes bored into his in curiosity. “Why?” The words left her mouth in a whisper. He turned away from her, “The world is a dangerous one, Becca. It’s for the strong.” She scoffed, finding offense in his last words. “Are you indirectly saying I’m weak? Why do you…”“Not indirectly.” He cuts her off. “You are indeed weak.” That being said, he stood up and walked back into the bedroom. Rebecca followed suit.“I am not weak!” She snapped behind him and his steps halted. “I had a
