" boss, she's dead" James said over the phone and hung up.

Alex was shocked, she was what? He hoped it wasn't what he was thinking. She couldn't be dead, what would he tell his mum? He felt fear envelope his entire being.

He called James but got no response.

" This damn fool" he cursed. " Who does he think he is?" He called again.

" Boss!!" James answered.

" Tell me I didn't hear you properly"

" You did sir. She's dead, she fell off a cliff and died in the river" James explained.

Alex did not know what to feel. Was he to feel happy that she was now gone or feel sad that his mum was never going to forgive him if she learnt that he was responsible for her death

" Where's her body?" He managed to ask.

" In the river, I think it has being washed away"

" Which river?"

" Dinero river sir"

" I'll be there in two hours" Alex said and hung up.

    " are you alright now?" Margaret asked Ana, concern written all over her face.Ana nods yes, showing she's fine. Margaret looks at her. " I think you should go see a doctor" she suggests." No I can't Meg. We don't have enough money to feed on let alone go see a doctor" Ana said.Meg gave her a reassuring smile. " It doesn't matter because I already called the doctor here" she said and signalled at Ana to look at the door as a woman walked in." You called the doctor?" Ana whispered.Meg nods in affirmation. " You're gonna have to be fine if you're gonna take revenge on your husband" Meg said and smiled. Ana realized she was right. If she was going to get revenge on Alex, she had to be fine. Her thoughts travelled to how Meg had saved her that very day.Yes! If not for Meg, she'd have drowned in the water the day she fell." Can I examine you?" The doctor asked.Ana nods and the doctor examines her. She feels her pulse, her heart beat, her eyes and boobs. She smiles, " congratulation

    He panicked, was that really his wife he saw out there? He took a cup of water and was about to drink it when he realized that it was now blood instead." Aaaaaaaaaaaaah" he screamed and ran out of the room to his mother's room." Mum, mum, please open up, ghost" Alex knocked loudly but got no response." You can't run from me Alex, you can't" Ana's ghost told Alex as he shrieked in fear. He continued to bang his mother's door and Ana started moving closer. He was losing it, she took out a knife from the white garment she was wearing and started moving towards Alex. He started to beg as he fell to his knees. She shook her head and laughed maniacally. Immediately she was close enough to him, he passed out. Alex rolled on the bed, yelling" please don't kill me Ana, please don't" he jumped out of the bed. He sighed, it was just a dream.

He wouldn't let Ana's ghost turn him to a mad man, he'd have to get protection for himself. Bodyguards!! He agreed. He spoke to an organization and four able bodied men were brought to his service. Two for the day and two for the night.He smiled to himself, " I beat you to it Ana"THAT NIGHT.....Alex went to bed feeling relaxed, he thought that since he had guards with him, Ana's ghost wouldn't be able to hurt him.

Ana wanted a girl but Alex wanted a boy. He wanted someone who he could train to be like him, someone who'll have no mercy on those who defied his orders, someone who'd take over his business after he came of age and according to him, a girl could do none of those." I'm telling you Alex, a girl will be better. She'll be cute, beautiful, nice, helpful and she'll make a wonderful chef" Ana said on one of her conversations with Alex.She thought he'd smile at this but she received a slap instead." Let this be last time I hear you mention having a girl child. Girls are nothing but a liability, give me someone who

    “No! Elena!” Daniel yelled out of his lungs as he watched her traveling down to the ground.He felt his world shattering into a thousand pieces and for the next minutes, all he could do was sit back, with his head buried to the ground.Tears poured out of his eyes like an ocean and for the first time in his life, he felt like a failure.He couldn’t even save the woman who he claimed to love so much. “Elena! Where is she? Did she…”, Gabrielle said as she went towards the edge of the cliff and realized that Elena was no more there.She fell back to the ground and let out a sorrowful wail, hitting her legs on the ground intently and screaming her sister’s name.Daniel got a grip of himself and stood to his feet. Elena had made him promise to take care of her sister and inasmuch as he was broken, he needed to stand there for her.“It’s okay”, Daniel said with a soft voice as he tapped her calmly and pulled her into a warm hug. Gabrielle sobbed on his chest just as they awaited the arriva

    “Elena!” Gabrielle shouted on top of her voice the moment she walked into the scene to see Elena who was now soaked in blood.Elena was barely standing firm, and with each step she took backwards, she was at the verge of falling down the cliff.Jessica quickly turned to look at Gabrielle and immediately, a small scoff made way to her face.“Get out of here!” She said to Gabrielle who couldn’t believe her eyes.Gabrielle ignored her and made to run over to Elena, but Jessica shot her.Luckily, there were no bullets left in the gun. Jessica knew that she was at a big risk at this point. She swiftly dropped the gun to the ground and dashed out of the premises, ignoring Gabrielle who was crying or Elena who was close to falling off the cliff.“Elena!” Gabrielle rushed over to Elena to grab her. Unfortunately, she wasn’t fast enough because in that minute, Elena fell off the cliff.Gabrielle let out a loud scream that shook the entire area. Tears poured out of her eyes as she tried to calm

    Elena had seen Jessica and suddenly felt a glint of hope in the situation. However, the moment Jessica had taken down the men, she faced the gun to Elena.At first, Elena thought that Jessica was only trying to joke with her and at this, she started laughing out in elation. However, Jessica remained still, without a single iota of excitement on her face.“I’m not here to save you”, Jessica suddenly said, with her hands touching the trigger.Elena was shocked to her bones as she stared at Jessica who had just made the utterance that broke her heart.“What do you mean?” Elena asked as she started walking closer to Jessica who had tears in her eyes.“What do you mean by that? You are not here to help me?” Elena asked again, not wanting to believe what Jessica had just said to her.“I meant what I said. I’m not here to save you but to end you!” Jessica bluntly replied, causing Elena to stare at her in shock.Elena chuckled calmly to conceal the anxiety in the atmosphere, but she quickly

    Elena smiled in relief and walked into the room, feeling so glad that her sister was safe and looked fine.She made to untie her from the chair, but just as she was almost done with that, she heard the cocking sound of a gun, right on her head.This made her stop right in her tracks, with cold shills running down her spine.Gabrielle had tears running out of her eyes as she watched Elena who had a gun pointed to her head.“Don’t move or that would be your end!” The voice said and again, Elena’s stomach twisted in fear and anxiety. She gulped down hard as beads of sweats started forming on her forehead. The room looked empty and the last things she expected was the appearance of someone with a gun.Daniel was standing outside, at some distance away. Elena had been faster than him and all he could do was slowly walk up to meet her while studying the environment and checking for any threat.Just then, he caught sight of someone entering the house, with a gun in his hands.

    Daniel stared at Elena who was now trembling, with her phones in her hands that were barely steady. He needed no one to tell him that she had just received a very bad information.“If you are looking for her, she just got kidnapped”, Elena went through the message again, with tears pouring out of her eyes.Jessica stood beside them, with her hands folded to her chest and her face wearing a look of confusion.Elena started sobbing almost immediately, increasing the intensity of her cries as seconds passed. This made Daniel’s heart ache terribly. At this, he went over to her and hugged her passionately, placing soft kisses on her neck.“We would find her…I promise you that”, he said with a tone of assurance, even if he had no idea of how that was going to happen.“How? There are no clues anywhere. They just took her away and we have no idea of who they are”, Elena sobbed while Daniel hugged her again.Jessica slowly walked over to her and pulled her into a warm hug too.“We would find

    The news was devastating that for some minutes, none of them could utter any word. Elena fell to the ground and broke into loud sobs while Gabrielle followed suit.Daniel returned from his walk and once he met them in that state, he needed no one to tell him that Jessica lost the child.He held Elena up and tried to console her. But then, that didn’t seem to work so much since Elena blamed herself for every single thing that happened.“I shouldn’t have ever known Josh! It’s all my fault”, she cried out while Daniel patted her on her shoulders.He was enraged as well. At this point, he wished that he would come across Josh and give him the beating of his life.“We should go see her. You have to be strong if you need her to be strong. She is the one who is going to be more affected by the news”, Daniel said to Elena who nodded her head in understanding.After what seemed like ages, she finally got a grip of herself. They walked into the hospital room where they met Jessica who was curre

    Chaos erupted in the atmosphere the moment Jessica landed on the ground. In a split second, her head started bleeding and she was barely conscious. Elena let out a scream of distress while Josh took to his heels, not looking back for even a second. They called for the ambulance and immediately, Jessica was rushed to the hospital. Once they got to the hospital, Jessica was rushed into the emergency ward and this placed both Elena and Daniel in a state of panic.Elena couldn’t withhold her tears at this point. She suddenly started crying aloud the moment she recalled the sight of the blood that oozed out of Jessica’s head. It was terrifying that for a moment, she was beginning to have fears that she might lose her.“Stop crying!” Daniel said as he pulled her into a warm hug.It was a difficult time for him as well. He never thought that the day would turn out to be one where he would get such a heated confrontation from Josh. In addition, he didn’t know that such a thing would happen

    Elena was the first to run off to meet Jessica. She had never felt so scared all of her life. She had tears in her eyes as she tapped her calmly, hoping that she would stand up without any issues.Everything was currently happening because of her and she couldn’t help but feel ashamed and guilty. “Jessica!” Elena called out the moment she observed that she was laying on tue ground, looking lifeless and unconscious.Josh scoffed when he saw this and walked back to Elena. He took her hands away from Jessica and pushed her away.“Let her be! We have our situation to solve here”, Josh said, without a bit of feelings or emotions in his eyes. Elena couldn’t believe her ears. She gazed at Josh as she tried to wonder how he could be so heartless even if he was the cause of everything that had just happened. “Can you hear yourself? You caused all of these and yet you stand there and ignore her?” Elena asked unbelievably as she returned her gaze to Jessica who was still laying on the ground.

    Elena was burning in rage at this point. She couldn’t understand how Josh could be so stupid to spew out such kind of things against Daniel.“Not another word from you, Josh!” She screamed out of her lungs, trying so hard to stop the tears that welled up in her eyes.She was truly exhausted at this point. The worst laid in the fact that she could barely look into Jessica’s eyes.All she felt was guilt and she needed no one to tell her that it would take a while to recover from the guilt she felt.“Daniel! You must be feeling like a super hero now. You’ve got a lady supporting you and willing to do anything for you”, he said and started laughing softly. He stopped midway and wore a big scowl on his face.“But I promise you that you won’t get her! Elena belongs to me and you are only wasting your time!” He said to Daniel who wore a scoff and folded his hands to his chest.Jessica felt that the world was currently turning. Her head was banging heavily and somehow, she struggled to keep
