“I want nothing to do wi…” she swallowed hard as he turned to her. The heated look in his eyes was enough to make her resolve fly out of the window. “You were saying?” His voice felt like a wisp caressing her body. “Huh?” Serena was sure that the heater had been turned up another notch as she wondered what was it she intended to say.

COMING ALIVE Chp 28 - Deaf And Chills
The “room” was actually a suite on its own. Serena was sure that her entire house was just a bit bigger than the suite that was given to her. It has a large-sized bedroom, sitting room, dining room, dressing room, and a separate area furnished with sizeable cushions of varieties of colours. “That is the lounging area,” Lorraine said behind her. Serena turned to look at her and she was immediately annoyed by the sneer on the arrogant lady’s face. “Yes, yes, I know. Kincaid is rich and all a woman wants. Just don’t get too comfortable” she added as she gave the clothes bag beside the door a little kick. Serena had it with this pompous lady and she was about to lay on her when Lorraine pointed at the bag."As you might have expected" she added with a roll of her eyes and a put-upon smile. Yes, I acted the maid fit you and I purchased everything according to what I thought your size will be. Some of them are already in there" she said as she inclined her head towards the dressing ro

Serena was pissed, frustrated and also awed by the grandness of what she saw.When the man she went to meet for a lift in front of the hospital had agreed to carry her, Serenahe had been so hopeful that she would be able to get out of Kincaid’s annoying presence and as a result, leave the island and somehow find her way back home. But then just as she was going to the passenger’s side of the car. She heard the man clear his throat.And he said “Oh, I am sorry, miss. I will not be able to carry you again” Before Serena could even ask him anything, he hurriedly got into his car and drove off. “What the…” Serena had not completed her confused statement when she saw Basset standing in front of the hospital as he gave her a direct look.Serena realised what happened as she looked at him and back at the departing figure of the car hightailing it out of that place.“That was you, wasn’t it?” she asked as she stalked over to him in anger “You made that man run though I didn’t hear you say a

Serena entered Kincaid’s assigned room after she left Rayl’s bedside. The latter was eerily still on the bed as she was strewn up to the life-support machine and the only sound in the highly sterilised room was the constant beeping sound of the ECMO machine. Serena had to leave at last since the sound was only rattling her overstrung nerves too.The scene she met in Kincaid’s room was not unusual as doctors, nurses and even the directors of the hospital were always checking on him not to talk of his men. But what she found surprising was the content of the conversation that he was having with the director when she entered.He wanted his sister and Kevin transferred. The doctors had thought it was not a good idea for the patients who still needed intensive care to be away from the hospital and Serena seconded that thought so as well but then Kincaid had been so adamant about the fact that the patients are more in danger at the hospital than if they were at the mansion.“I have the faci

The door knob turned and Basset entered immediately Serena asked that question. Serena was curious to know what the lady’s answer would have been if Basset had not come in. she would never know now because instantly the lady saw the person that entered, her expression morphed into the very picture of innocence and pure affection. Her pearly whites and perfectly straight teeth went flashed in a beatific smile as she came forward to hug Basset.“Oh, you are here, Lorraine,” he said indifferently. A moment before she wrapped him in a warm hug. Serena could see the surprise on his face but then he patted her slightly on the back.The latter crooned “Oh, I am so sorry about this, Basset” she leaned back from his embrace. “I am sure y’all will get hold of those bastards and this will be properly avenged. The boys are working on strategies right now already” she said before she looked over at Kincaid’s unconscious form on the bed.She moved towards the bed with a sudden mistiness in her eyes

Basset looked at Serena as they waited in Kincaid’s newly assigned room and said “You are covered in blood” Serena looked down at her spandex gown and sighed “Yes, I look a mess alright but so do you” she nodded towards his blood-spattered yellow shirt and the dark splotches on his khaki trouser. “Yeah” he muttered nonchalantly. He stared into space for a while before he muttered “A lady shouldn’t look like that” Serena looked at him and he nodded even without looking back at her “Yeah, I know. I was an asshole. I shouldn’t have dragged you into this like that” Serena had no idea what he expected her to say. Especially when he added “But then I am sure I will do the same thing again if the situation repeats itself. So yeah, I am an asshole” “Uhh” Serena hummed as she find something to say even though she agreed with him. Basset looked back at her with a humourless smile that did not touch his eyes “At least let me make up for that by getting you out of that disgusting dress” he sm

Serena had to stay with Basset in the waiting room. She smarted at the fact that the nurses had not allowed her to go in with the victims. She had even told one of them personally that she was a certified nurse.“Really, in which unit are you practising?" the caucasian nurse had asked her. Serena had no choice but to tell her that she had never practised before. When she saw the look on the nurse’s face, she was about to explain to her that she had taken care of Kincaid on the way to the island though but the woman had hurried off after telling her to go sit in the waiting room.She was just getting to the waiting room when Basset passed her without a second look. “What the…” She saw where he was headed in a minute. A team of doctors were hurrying down the corridor and the way they all greeted Basset respectfully made it evident to Serena that they knew him. Basset hurriedly pointed towards the ICU where they took Rayla and the others and he hurriedly led him towards the unit.A nurs

The frenzy that followed was unlike anything that Serena had ever set her eyes on before. The intruders were all wiped out and then Basset dropped his gun as he ran with all his might towards where his brother lay. The irony of it was that Kincaid and Rayla were not far from each other. Basset looked torn as if he has no idea who to run to first. Then, he shook Kincaid hard “Don’t you dare! You can’t die on me, bro. You can’t. Who will avenge those bastards?! You….somebody checks Rayla. Check her! Fuck this” he cried.Serena jerked out of her shock as she rushed towards the lady she only met a few minutes ago. Serena was shaking so badly and her stomach seemed to be in a flip-flop contest. Yet she forced herself to look at the gory scene before her. It was messy, to say the least. The bullet had pierced Kev’s stomach from the side, taking out a chunk of flesh with it on its way out with a strip of his shirt. What was left of his blue shirt was soaked with blood and it was not showing

Rayla dragged her down with her as she ducked beside her car. "Those bastards!" She said in fury as she patted her body as if anything could be hidden in her skin-tight one-piece suit. She seemed to realize that her guns had been handed to someone else and she swore, long and hard. Profanities that Serena was sure would make her mother develop migraine and probably make Eugenia drop dead. "Illinois!" She hissed at one of the men returning fire to the men shooting at them with guns fitted with silencers. "Yes, miss" Illinois, a lanky young man that couldn't be more than in his early twenties replied to her even as he ducked behind the car and returned fire. "How many are they?!" She yelled. "About…." He shoot back as another silent ping hit the car, rocking it with a jarring sound that made Serena flinch "...Ten this time, miss" "Shit! Who are these people? How dare they…scoot down more, Serena! How dare they do this on Aslanov land?" "No idea, miss but they seemed intent on tak

Stupid, stupid shaking Serena thought to herself as she tried to atop the spasmodic reaction of her body yet no amount of “You are fine now" from Kincaid nor her determination to stop the shaking changed anything. It was as if her body was functioning independently from her will, so she just huddle there and shook like a leaf in the winter night. A whistle from Bassett had her looking up "Wow, babe. You look hot! No wonder the men couldn't shoot straight" Serena craned her head to see who he was referring to. A gorgeous redhead in a pink leotard with what seemed like mile-high leather heels on her tanned, dainty legs stood with a pistol in each of her hands as she rolled her eyes at Bassett. "Oh, hush. Remind the bad guys to give me some ample warnings next time they decided to strike and not do it when I am in the middle of my training, will you?" She leaned in to kiss his cheek soundly before shifting her gaze to Kincaid. Her eyes shone with curiosity as she saw Serena and she
