Unforeseen circumstances

A man who had his face covered with black nose mask, and was in black clothes, he held a gun and hid behind a palm tree beside a house. He peeped out slowly so no one would notice him.

“Vivian” Mr. Patrick called his daughter who was in the kitchen preparing breakfast for him, “Forget about my breakfast, I will be leaving soon” he said going to the kitchen to get a bottle of water.

“Why? The breakfast will be done soon, just give it some minutes” Vivian insisted.

He looked at the watch on his wrist, “I can't wait, I have no time to sit and eat”

“Okay then, I will make something delicious for you when you come back”

“Ohh…what a lovely daughter and I can't wait” he said taking his office bag.

Vivian smiled at his father's compliments

“I will be on my way now” he said, leaving the kitchen

“Bye daddy”

“Bye uncle” Fifi waved at him from the couch, making him to smile.

Mr. Patrick left the door and entered his car, their gate man opened the gate. He made a turn and was about to follow the other path when he noticed that someone was blocking his way.

“Hello, can you move over?” Mr. Patrick moved his head outside the car window to talk to the person. The person didn't bulge, he continued standing.

Mr. Patrick was confused on why the person was blocking his way, he was rushing and didn't have any time to waste.

“Mr. leave the road you are obstructing my way”

The next thing, the man walked over to him, he leaned on his window and pulled the face mask away from his face. Mr. Patrick raised his eyebrows confused.

“Who are you?” He asked but got no response from him, but pulled out something from his pocket. Mr. Patrick gasped in horror.

The man pointed the gun at his head “One word from you, you will join your dear wife” He smirked like it was nothing.

Mr. Patrick stuttered, “W-what do you want?” The estate was very silent and no one was walking in the road.

“I want your life” he cocked the gun “Greet your dear wife in hell” and with that, he released the bullet in Mr. Patrick's head.

The gun appeared to be a silent gun, nobody heard the sound. The man hid the gun back in his pocket, covered his face and walked out of there, leaving Mr. Patrick lifeless body in the car.

In another estate….

Two guys were strolling on the estate, they appeared to be coming back from the gym.

“Man, what's happening there?” James asked, looking at the place that people gathered like something was going on.

“How is that my business? Just coming back from the gym with you” Romeo replied.

“Looks like it must be something awful, let's take a look” James suggested.

Romeo turned to look at him and scoffed, “You can go, I ain't”

“Make sure you don't leave without me” James said and left him to see what happened.

“Barbie man” Romeo muttered.

James got there and tried to look from the crowd that surrounded the car.

Samuel heard some murmurs and shouting from outside the gate, he opened it to know what was happening. He caught sight of people In front of their house. Their expressions say it all, that something happened. The surrounded a car. Samuel looked well and found out that it was his boss's car. He drew closer and looked from the window, he couldn't see anything properly.

“Excuse me” he uttered in fear, trying to see the inner part of the car.

Just as someone made way for him to see, he saw his boss lifeless body, blood was spurting out from his head that had a tiny hole. What? He screamed.

Without wasting any time, he scurried away, going inside the house to call Vivian.

Soon, Vivian came out of the house with Mansi. She also saw the same crowd, just that this time the crowd has reduced and police made came around with their blaring siren.

“Daddy!!” Vivian screamed, upon seeing her father's body.

James, who had already made his way out of the scene, came looking for Romeo. He found him sitting in one corner under a shade, pressing his phone.

“Romeo” he called, “Thank your stars you didn't see this horrible scene” be said jolting Romeo back to reality.

Romeo stood up, “Yeah, I'm not a curious rat like you”

“Just wanted to know, you know feed my blog”

Romeo sighed and shook his head, just then he heard a familiar voice like the person was crying, he stopped walking and turned to see the person but saw nobody cause the police were blocking his view. He furrowed his eyebrows, that sounded very much like her voice, he said within.

“What is that? Thought you were not interested in the drama” James asked.

Romeo turned, looked at him and continued walking, “Nothing, just imagining something.”

In the police custody.

Vivian was sitting with her Mansi and Kiki. Her eyes had turned red due to how hard she cried. Just one minute she was with her father, the next minute, she came to meet his lifeless body. Was that life?

How would she live without her father? Who was so heartless to leave her with no parents in this world? Why didn't the person kill her too? She asked herself.

This is the kind of pain she can never endure, Her father was gone forever, she won't talk to him again, play with him again, go to the park with him, she won't eat with him again. She used the handkerchief in her hand to wipe her eyes. She won't give up, she must find the killer, the person who took his father's life and left her in pains. Not only that, but she must revenge her father's death, no matter what it will take her, she must do it.

“Miss Vivian” the chief of police called her, “A minute in my office please.”
