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
As he walked into the room, he saw her sitting up on the bed. She stood up and walked towards him as he shut the door. She held his arms and followed him to the bed.He sat on the bed and let out a slight groan as he felt pains in his abdomen"Should I switch on the lights?" She asked and he shook his head."You shouldn't have gone out," she said as she sat beside him"I really needed to see him" he said as he took off his shoes"Should I get your medicines?" She asked and he nodded.She walked to the shelf to get his drugs and then she returned with a glass of water. She sat beside him and watched him swallow the tablets. He sighed and removed his hoodie.She looked at his wound and he looked at her face."Did you get something to eat?" He asked and she smiled"Yeah, I ate like a bull," she said and they both laughed. "Lucia was here this evening" she said "Oh, really?" He asked"Yeah, and I was able to call my dad too. I told him I'm fine and he wanted me to come home immediately" s
She pushed him into the room and planted a hot kiss on his lips. He wrapped his arms on her waist and responded to the kiss immediately."I've missed you so much" she said amidst pants as she broke from the kissWithout a word, he lifted her from the floor and took her to the bed.The next morning, he woke up and found her on his side with the duvet covering their bodies. He sighed as he recalled the steamy night they both had. She rolled to his body and placed her hand across his chest."It's morning already and you should be getting ready for lectures" he said and she chuckled silently."I want to stay here all day," she said as she opened her eyes and wrapped her hair in a bunHe smiled and rubbed his palm on his face."I've missed you so much, Eden," she said as she planted a quick kiss on his lips"How about your boyfriend or should I say, boyfriends?" He asked and she slapped his chest slightly."What have you been hearing about me?" She asked with a slight frown"Nothing," he sa
He stood in front of the coffee shop watching the few people moving to and fro in front of the entrance door. It was dark and the whole place was lit up with streetlights and different lights from the few shops and tall buildings around."Eden, over here" he heard a voice behind him.He turned and a smile appeared on his face as he saw Julius standing behind him, dressed in a black long jacket. "I'm sorry for taking so long, there was much work at the office today" he said as Eden walked towards him"I haven't waited for so long," Eden said and they both smiled"Can we sit in the car please?" Julius asked and he nodded.They walked to his car which was parked at the roadside and they both entered the car. He brought out a cup of chocolate raspberry parfait and handed one to him."I don't have time to cook, so I settle with junks sometimes before going home," he said and Eden laughed."Maybe it's time you get a woman" he said with a smile as he watched him eating a burger"Seriously, b
