Her phone beeped as she stood at the roadside. She glanced at the screen and she saw several missed calls from Fernando. It was getting late and she put a call through to him. "Hey babe, are you alright?" He asked anxiously from the phone"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm standing in front of the fabric mall down Xavier's lane" she said to him"Hold on, I'll come get you" he said and she sighed as he hung up.She put a call through to Lucia who would probably be worried by now"Jess,!" Her voice came through from the phone"Hey," she muttered tiredly"How are you? Where are you? Did he hurt you?" She asked anxiously"Eden would never hurt me. I'm fine. Nando will be coming to get me" she said"Ok babe, please stay safe" Lucia said with concern.After a few minutes, a car drove by and stopped in front of her. She let out a sigh of relief as she thought it was Fernando. The door opened and Eden stepped out of the car.He removed the hood on his head as he walked towards her. She sighed in frustrati
She wiped the tears off her eyes as she thought of everything that happened last night. What if Eden hadn't intervened? She reasoned as she let out a sigh. At one point, she felt guilty for moving on pretty fast. She knew she didn't agree to date Fernando because she truly liked him. Everything was just a facade, just as Lucia has said.Her phone rang and she sighed as she picked up the phone from the bed. She saw Lucia's name on the caller ID."Hey babe, you didn't come home last night. I went to your place this morning" Lucia said"A lot happened and we will talk when I get home," she said"Where are you? And why is your voice like that?" Lucia asked She sighed and licked her lips while running her hand through her hair"We will talk when I get home," she said again"Jess, are you sure you're fine?" Lucia asked"I'm not fine, but I'm okay where I am. We will talk ok?" She saidAs she hung up, she saw the door opened and Eden walked into the room, wearing only black shorts. She looke
They were still speaking, when his phone began to ring. He looked at the phone screen and he could see it was a video call from an anonymous number.He looked at Pedri who urged him to pick immediately. As soon as he pressed the green icon on the screen, Jessica's face appeared and he became devastated as he saw her crying with her mouth tied, and her hair roughly scattered on her face. A man's face appeared on the video and he quickly recognized him as Fernando."Lover boy. As you can see, I've got your lover girl. Why don't you come over here and let's finish this once and for all," he said with mockery all over his face as he looked at Eden. "What the hell.." Pedri tried to speak but Eden halted him.Fernando smiled."You have less than an hour to be here" he said with a serious look on his face"Where is your location?" He asked boldy"Eden, don't even think about it! They're gonna kill you!" Jessica spoke as she removed the cloth from her mouth forcefully. Fernando sent a heavy
She cried so loud as she saw the men dragging him into the passage. She grabbed hold of Fernando's legs and he pushed her head away from him.“You think by trying to avenge, you will get your peace back?” She asked as she looked at his faceHe scoffed and turned away from her“Who needs peace, anyways?” He asked with a chuckle.Some of the men walked out of the passage and they could be seen holding heavy metals and whips“How is it going?” He asked as he looked at them“Boss, it doesn't seem like the beating is having any effect on him” One of them said“He’s proving tough,”Fernando said and chuckled. “I want to hear him scream! I want to hear him scream bitterly! I want to feel his pain!” He yelled on their faces“What do we do now, boss?” They askedHe kept silent and began to breathe heavily“Slice his skin with the knife” he said and Jessica's eyes popped out of the socket.“We’ve done that boss,” the men said and he became amazed“Electric shocks” he said with an evil grin “You
As soon as the phone fell off his hands, Eden made a lunge for his legs and pulled him to the floor. As he fell on the floor, he tried to crawl towards his gun which was opposite him but Eden dragged him back and pounced on him. Jessica stood up immediately and she tried to reach for the gun but one of the men grabbed her hair from behind and pulled her up. Eden heard her screams and he turned to see one of the men holding her hostage.He dropped Fernando on the floor and stood up facing the man who was holding her hostage. Fernando stood up and licked his lips. He sighed as he stretched his hand towards one of the men who was handing a gun over to him."Your fucking men has my mother," he said amidst pants as he stood in front of Eden. "Tell them to let her go, else I'll blow her head off!" He yelled as he walked over to Jessica and dragged her away from the man holding her."You bastard!" She cursed as she wriggled in his arms."You hurt her, and you'll find your mother's corpse
As he ran through the corn farm, he felt the leaves of the corn sweeping his skin. With his hands holding his bleeding tummy, he staggered along the farm. He felt so weak to run and his eyes became dizzy but all the same, he had to keep going, else he would be caught.He fell on the ground and began to breathe heavily. He looked back and saw the trace of his blood on the ground and he became alarmed. There was no way he could stop the wound from bleeding and he knew they could track him using the blood drops.*As he ran along the corn farm, he began to follow the traces of blood drops on the ground. He could see some blood stains on the corn leaves and he smiled as he knew there was no way his target could escape from him. He cocked his gun ready and he wiped the sweat off his brows as he increased his race.*He breathed heavily as he removed his palm from the wound which was covered with blood. He began to ponder on what to do to make the wound stop bleeding. As he looked around the
“Let’s run away” he heard the little boy say as they both held each others handHe looked back and saw his mother walking into the passage“What are you both trying to do?” Run away?” She asked angrily as she rushed towards them and pulled him away from the boy.“Julius!” He screamed as she dragged him along the passage“Eden!” He screamed back as he tried to run after them“Eden, wake up” he heard a voice in his head as he struggled to wake up from his sleep. A heavy slap landed on his cheek and he woke up and began to breathe heavily as he looked around the room.He saw her face in the dim room and his nerves relaxed as he laid back on the bed and placed his head on the pillow.“I'm sorry, you were hallucinating again” she apologized as she held his palms tenderlyHe exhaled and shut his eyes for a moment. His whole body ached and he let out a groan as he felt the acrid pain from the wound in his tummy which had been bandaged.“Sorry, you need to relax” she said as she held his arms
The car stopped in front of the old four storey building. He looked out of the car window and he could see how serene the neighborhood looked that night.It was cold and the street was empty. Only the barking of dogs could be heard from a distance. She looked at his face and she could see anxiety written all over him."Are you sure you wanna do this?" She asked and he kept silent as he continued to look out of the window"What if Tracy was right, anyway?" He asked and she sighed"Tracy can't be right. He is ready to see you, his response says it all" she said"What was his response?" He asked as he looked at her face"He texted back and said,"Noted" but I think he is eager to see you too, else he wouldn't have agreed to come," she said and he nodded."You know, he could have turned you into the hands of the police if he didn't care about the friendship you once shared. I guess he didn't let them know of his encounter with you" she said and he sighed"You're right," he said"Come on, s
