PRESENT He was awoken by a knock on the door that morning. He yawned and stretched tiredly as he sat on the bed. "Who's there?" He asked as he looked at the door "Open up" A female voice sounded from the outside. "Juliet" He muttered as he took the duvet off his unclad body. He grabbed a white T-shirt on the edge of the bed and wore it under the black boxers he was wearing. As he opened the door, he saw Tracy and Juliet who were both giggling and gossiping "My cutie cutie" Tracy teased as she rubbed his chin He smiled and gave her a slight hug while Juliet walked into the room. They were both casually dressed that morning in black jeans and blue t-shirts. "To what do I owe this visit from my beautiful sisters?" He asked as he walked into the room and shut the door. Juliet smiled as she sat on the bed and crossed her legs stylishly. "Oh, how unkempt your room looks. You sure need a lady to be keeping it clean for you" Tracy said as she arranged the pillows on the bed.
He adjusted the bowtie of his royal blue suit as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. He was looking so stunning that night with a neat high fade haircut which suited his handsome oblong face perfectly. The expensive blue suit he wore fitted his muscular physique which had kept the ladies gushing over the years. No doubt, he was really handsome, he thought as he smiled. He looked at his wristwatch and it was 6:35pm already. Without wasting time, he walked out of the room. He walked down the stairs with his black derby shoes making sounds behind him as he walked. Looking down the stairs, he could see Miguel, Pedri and Spider standing at the foyer. They were all neatly dressed in black suits and ties. "Where's Sara?" He asked as he walked to meet them. "She's.." Spider was about to speak when Sara rushed in to meet them. "I'm here, sorry I'm late" She said at once They all gushed as soon as they caught sight of her. She was beautifully dressed in a long nude color satin go
He froze for a second as he saw her standing behind him with a glass of red wine in her hand which she sipped slowly as she gave him a sinister look which sent shrills down his spine. For a long time now, he hadn't felt this way, he thought as his palm became sweaty. She walked towards him stylishly and stopped in front of him. She looked into his eyes and smirked "Care for a drink?" She asked as she placed the glass of wine closer to his mouth. He remained silent and tried to look away from her. Her scent reminded him of those dark nights. Those nights she had made him lay on her bed and subjected him to different forms of abuse. His heart began to pound and he felt perspiration gather around his brows. "I heard you are strong now. You've gained a lot of money, fame and power. What do they call you again uh? The king of the Ghost?" She mocked and made a chuckle. "Who do you come here to see? Your worst nightmare, uh?" She asked as she walked around him sinisterly. "I am your w
He grabbed the Ak47 Pedri was holding and walked towards the direction the men were coming from. As soon as he caught sight of them, he began to shoot at anything on sight. With bleeding arms and a rage filled heart, he shot at the men sporadically. He didn't care if he would be shot or not. He fired continually till the last man was down. He began to pant as everywhere became silent. He dropped the gun by his side and headed back to meet Pedri who was watching over Miguel. He saw Pedri sitting dejectedly beside Miguel's body which was on the ground. "Come on, we need to leave. We need to get him to safety" He said as he tried to lift Miguel's body from the ground "He's dead," Pedri said with a lump on his throat. Eden paused for a while. He turned to look at him and he shook his head in disbelief. He turned back to Miguel's body which was still lying on the ground. He tried to lift the body up from the ground but Pedri cried out loud; "He's dead!" "Miguel is dead!!" Pedri
12:55 PM ELENA RESTAURANTE He sat close to the glass walls of the restaurant as he observed the few people moving to and fro. It was a sunny afternoon and a few people could be seen at the restaurant eating and discussing. The air smells of tacos and other delicious delicacies. He looked at his wristwatch again and wondered why she was late. As he sipped his glass of water slowly, he saw her walk in. She was dressed simply in a black V neck blouse and black jeans. She stopped a few meters from the entrance and looked around the whole place. He was about to give her a call when she turned and saw him sitting at one end of the restaurant, handsomely dressed in a black denim ripped jeans and black T-shirt. She walked towards him immediately and he offered her a seat opposite him. As soon as she sat down before him, he felt guilty as he stared at her beautiful but pale looking face. Her eyes were sore due to the lots of tears she might have shed. "How have you been?" He asked in a
He was awoken by the sound of their laughter. He opened the curtain on the window and saw them walking out of the house. He sighed and rubbed his palm on his face It was sunset and the whole place was a bit calm. He stood up and wore a white sleeveless top before walking out of the room. As he stepped into the living room, he saw that the house was empty. Everyone must have proceeded to the slum, he thought. He walked to the kitchen and grabbed a pizza which he ate as he walked out of the kitchen. He was about walking back to his room when he recalled the girl who had been brought captive by Ray. A thought struck him and he became curious to know what state she would be in at the moment. He walked to the passage and moved slowly to the room where she was kept. The door was shut partially and he opened it slowly. The door made a creaking sound as it opened and he could see her lying fully unclad on the ground with her hands tied to her back. Her dark long hair was covering her face a
"Wakie wakie" Were the words he heard as he laid on his bed tiredly that morning. He opened his eyes and the sun shone directly on his face. He sat upright and looked around the room. It was morning already and he could hear the sounds from birds chirping in the backyard. He sighed as he saw Ella in his room looking for something in his wardrobe. "Ain't you gonna join us in the slum?" She asked as she wore her earrings in front of him. She was dressed in a black v neck blouse and black jeans trousers. "I'll join you guys later" He replied from the bed as he removed the duvet from his unclad chest. "Ok, I'm off. I didn't make breakfast you can make for yourself" She said and turned to the door. "Wait" He said to her and she stopped and turned to look at him "About the girl Ray brought to the house. Do you really think it's right?" He asked and she smiled "Eden, there are rules to the gang, one of which states, you can't interfere with the business of your fellow man even if it
They both shrieked and pulled away from each other as they saw him standing behind them. "Alves" Eden said at once as he stood up from the field with Rosa who followed behind him "You were lost and you didn't notice when we arrived. Your brother is on his way here and he'll arrive in no due time. Take her back in before he finds out what you have done" Alves said to him "Oh.. thank you" he said at once. He looked at Rosa who was holding his hand and they both ran away immediately. Alves shook his head as he watched them run to the house. As soon as he took her into the room, he shut the door behind him and walked out. As he walked out of the room,he heard Ray's voice from the living room. He was about to walk out of the passage when he bumped into Ray who was walking into the passage. They both stopped and looked each other eye to eye. Eden walked away from him and he smirked as he watched Eden walk away. Alves stood on the other side of the room watching them. He followed aft
