The day of the ball arrived without any fanfare. That morning, Kara was unusually quiet. The main reason was due to the fact that she wanted to align all of her plans in a more understandable manner. She hadn’t told Paulo this yet but her plans were mainly scattered. Fine, she had the understanding of what she wanted to do but at other times, she was really confused about what she wanted to do.Kara, still in her night robe, made her way towards the window, looking out of it. This whole group was here's to rule and command and still, she couldn’t quite believe that it was her’s to rule. ‘’How did you do all of this father?’’ Kara murmured.Just then, there was a knock on her door and she knew that it had to be Paulo. There was no other person that dared come to her room that morning. It was either him or any of the guards.‘’Kara.’’ Paulo called out.‘’Hold on.’’ Kara said.She tied her sleeping robe around her body before walking towards the door. She knew Paulo wanted to find out a
‘’I know it's not my business Kara but I just wanted to know how you were able to kill that man so fast and accurately. It's just seems like you knew the right placed to punch or kick.’’ the driver said in wonder.He wasn’t sure if he would get a reply seeing that all her mind was on the ball. She was very anxious, it was written all over her face and he knew her heart was just like that. No human on the face of this earth would be at peace knowing fully well that they were about to go into a battle that would no doubt be the greatest they had ever undertaken.Kara chuckled as she thought about what he had said. She knew he was bound to ask her and she was quite marveled at his boldness. Kara took no offense in this. As a matter of fact, she was quite glad about his boldness. That was how she loved her men to be bold and very daring.‘’I learnt that from my father.’’ she simply said.The driver remained quiet as he drove towards the front entrance of the great hall where the ball woul
Paulo who heard everything Kara was saying to Reed couldn’t quite believe what an actress she was. No one would ever know that everything she was saying was a lie. It would only take an expert liar to do what Kara was doing. She was good at it and that’s all that matters if they wanted to have their revenge.‘’Boss. I see another car coming up.’’ a voice said.Paulo looked in the direction of the voice and realized that it was one of his men who he had stationed at the east corner of the block they were scouting out from. His eyes were quite filled with something akin to fear and for the life of him, Paulo couldn’t quite understand what was going on.As far as he was concerned, they had the whole place surrounded and there was really no need for any of them to feel fear. It wasn’t just a part of the plan.‘’What is it?’’ Paulo asked.‘’I’m sorry to come here sire but i see a lone car approaching the venue of the ball and from the looks of it, the car has no other company.’’ the man sa
‘’Hey, you’re back.’’ Reed smiled.Kara stood for a moment without saying a single word as she simply stared at the man who had taken her breath away the first moment she saw him. His face looked like one that had been carved and when he smiled, a prominent dimple was noticeable. No!, this man was all shades of handsome and there was nothing anyone could say about that.‘’Yes, i’m back.’’ Kara said, finally.She had to keep her head back in the game. She wasn’t here for romance and the earlier she realized this, the better for her. There was nothing more to all of this than her taking her revenge.‘’You’re thinking… is everything alright?’’ Reed asked.‘’No, i’m fine.’’ Kara quickly said.Reed stared at her like he couldn’t believe her but he decided not to push it. Still, there was still something vaguely familiar about her but for the life of him, he didn’t know what that was.Just then, the event compere announced that Reed was to give a speech and just before he left her side, he
"Jamie, what do you mean by she's just been killed?" Parker asked.He was trying to come to terms with the fact that their greatest enemy and threat was dead. It was really hard to believe but Parker knew that there was nothing new under the sun. There were times when things would just happen and no one would even know how it came about. Things happened but this kind of thing was very strange to say the least."After the ball, she was back in her home and suddenly a bomb just exploded right in the middle of the humongous compound. She died on impact." Jamie said."How do you even know all these things?" Amanda asked.Parker had quite forgotten that she was around. He had been so occupied by the news he totally forgot his girlfriend was there with him."That's... Well, that's a good thing. Seeing that her father was an evil man, I'm not quite surprised." Parker said."So what's the situation on ground now?" Amanda asked."Right now, the police are there trying to see what they can find
It's been over a week since reports about Kara's death got to Parker and Amanda. It had also been a long week of healing, pain, tears and a whole lot of tears all over again.Parker had to hand it to Amanda, she was one hell of a strong woman. The way she carried herself and tried to encourage herself was something worthy of emulation. For a while Parker thought she was only pretending but he saw first-hand how she fought through her pain and was determined to heal even though it could never be whole.One afternoon, they were having lunch downstairs at the dining table. Jamie who had taken up position as the cook was in the kitchen, flipping fried fish. The aroma filled the whole house as Parker's stomach rumbled in hunger."Was that your belly?"Amanda smiled.It was one of those rare smiles Parker had been praying for ever since and now that he saw how it lighted up her face, he was desperately trying to see if he could make his stomach rumble again just to see the smile on her lips.
Kara's cousin (morning after the blast) Aliyah woke up that fine morning as she prepared to attend the Mafia Lord’s meeting. As it stood, stakes were already high and it was up to her to set things right by taking her revenge. That was the only thing that could lessen the pain in her heart.Patrick walked into her room at that moment without knocking. Aliyah rolled her eyes as she buckled her shoes.‘’What?’’ he said.‘’You just walked in without knocking, what if i was naked?’’ ‘’Trust me child, i’ve seen you naked plenty of times and also because i’m old enough to be your father.’’ Patrick smiled.‘’Yeah but that’s only when I was little. Now, i’m a grown woman.’’ Aliyah said.Patrick just rolled his eyes before dropping the file he was holding on the table. Aliyah stared at it with absolutely no recognition in her eyes.‘’What’s this?’’ she asked.‘’Details of the meeting today. In there are all the likely questions that could be asked so be prepared.’’ Patrick said.‘’But how di
‘’How did it go?’’ Patrick asked as soon as he walked into the room.Aliyah sighed, walking towards the bar to fetch herself a drink. There were many things that she wanted to tell him but all that was in her mind at that moment was the anger that was burning within her. She felt insulted, felt weak and above all felt a burning anger within her.She had never been insulted this much in her life before. There were many things she had faced in her life but not this much insult from her greatest enemy.‘’Sam insulted me.’’ Aliyah said.If Patrick was surprised about this, he hid it from his face. Aliyah knew he was angry, livid instead but like the man he was, he kept his cool and waited for her to say what she had in her mind.‘’What did he say?’’ Patrick asked.Aliyah poured herself a drink, sipping slowly as she made her way towards the large couch. She took another sip, looking at nothing in particular.‘’He called me a slut but i know he’s just frustrated because he just discovered
''Thank you.'' Parker said.Amanda who had been in the middle of waking up and sleeping yawned as she opened her eyes. She had just had the best sex ever and she knew that in time to come, she would never forget any of this. Parker made her feel like a woman, a woman who was dignified and not like those other women men used, stories she had heard from her friends.''For what?'' Amanda asked.''For starters, for doing this with me. I know you can easily get your pick from all the numerous men out there but you chose me. That means something to me.'' Parker smiled.He moved closer to her, taking her warm hands in his. He couldn't quite believe he had a beautiful woman in his bed. It all seemed like a dream but Parker knew it was no dream, it was real. As real as it could get.''You don't have to thank me. I love to be with you just as you are to me so no need to thank me. All we have to figure out now is how to manage this without letting anyone else know about it.'' Amanda said.Parker
"How do you feel baby?"Amanda asked.It's been a few days since Parker was attacked and to say he made a speedy recovery would be an understatement, it was amazing.At the beginning, when it first happened, Amanda had her doubts whether he would recover but at the end, he not only surprised her but everyone who knew.Jamie and Amanda both knew that it was his strength that saved him but at the same time, Parker was so strong on his own that nothing could actually hurt him."I'm okay baby, you don't need to worry about me. I told you to stop asking about me, I'm more concerned about you. Tell me darling, how do you feel?" Parker asked.That was just one thing about him. Even though he was in pains, he would still make sure she was alright. That was the kind of man she loved and Amanda was quite glad she got him."Asides being scared that you might not make it, I'm okay over all." She smiled.Parker leaned closer to her, giving her a warm kiss on her lips.This was the best moment for t
‘’The Dremis’s have sought for outside help.’’ Aliyah began.If Lucas was surprised to hear this, he hid it well. For a group not so grounded as the Dremis’s, he had a feeling that they might likely have sought outside help. Now, it was happening and he didn’t know what to make of it. ‘’Wow! Really, wow!’’ Lucas said.‘’I know, that was my initial expression when he told me this.’’ Aliyah said.With those words, she had committed herself and she knew it was best for her to tell him everything at that moment because he would never stop until he found out what she really meant by those words.‘’Diabla, what do you mean?’’ Lucas asked.Aliyah sighed, taking a deep breath. She didn’t want to be seen as a traitor. Even though she was the head and could do as she pleases, her loyalty still remained with her group and she would rather die than compromise that.‘’I lied when i told you i went to see the accident victim.’’ Aliyah said.‘’I knew you were lying but I just didn’t know where you
Lucas was getting ready to leave his office when he received a call from Aliyah. He had been expecting her call and he was quite glad when he saw her name flash on his screen. Ever since his first kidnap, he had also been very careful on how he moved about.He didn't want to do anything that would cause her pain or put himself in a position that wasn't good at all. He needed to be careful now because a baby, his child, was also in the picture.Lucassmiled broadly and picked it up. He heared gushes from her as she thanks him for the dress. He knew she was going to do this but still, he was surprised at how enthusiastic she sounded. This just told him that she actually appreciated the gift and within him, he planned to give her more gifts as the day went by.''Hey baby, I see you like your new dress.'' he smiled.''Aliyah, I not only like it, I love it. Thank you so much.'' Aliyah gushed.She had always been a sucker for pretty dresses and anytime anyone gifted her one, she never faile
"Oh my gosh! No no no. It's not going through." Aliyah said.She had been trying to mind link Lucas ever since but the damn server was being distrusted by something or someone. It was very frustrating to say the least."Oh my gosh! What's going on? Where's Lucas?" Aliyah asked, pacing about.She gripped her phone in her hands, pacing about with tears streaming down her eyes. If anything were to ever happen to Lucas, Aliyah knew she'd never forgive herself nor him because she had warned him not to go anywhere but his stubbornness and insistence to go had caused him a whole lot."What's happening?" She asked.Patrick rushed in at that moment, panthing in her normal form. Aliyah had called her when she couldn't get a hold of Lucas because in that moment, she knew it was only Patrick that could calm her down."You still haven't gotten a hold of him?" Patrick asked, morphing back to her normal form."No and the worst part of it all is that the mind link seems to be scrambled somehow." Aliy
"Babe, I need to get to another town this evening. I need to pick up something from my office there." Lucas said. It was early in the morning, with the birds singing in the air and the morning animals chirping in the forests round about them. It was also the day of the anniversary, the day when both Aliyah and Lucas would be in their strongest form. "You realize what day it is today right?" Aliyah asked. Lucas knew but still, he knew he had to take the trip. It was very important not only to him but to the entire company and he wouldn't trade it for anything else. "This is important to me Aliyah, you've got to understand." He said Aliyah didn't know what was more important than staying home when he clearly knew that going out on a anniversary day was not a good decision. "Can't it wait till the following day?" Aliyah asked. "It honestly can't. If I could, I wouldn't bother going today." Lucas said. Aliyah thought about it and judging from the look in his eyes, she knew it had
LucasI couldn't lie to myself that what Slyvia said hurt me a whole lot. The bite and sting in her voice hurt me a lot but the last thing I would do was to see how much she hurt me. I would rather eat sand than allow her to see that she actually got to me.''Bitch!'' I hissed.Her disgusting attitude and behavior was going to get her into trouble one day and I would be there to watch her downfall and also laugh at her.I made my way back to my room. There were many things I needed to do and the earlier I got on with it, the better for me. I didn't have time to worry about someone like her when there were other things I could worry about.Slyvia was of no importance to me and in that moment, I knew I needed to put her in her place. That was the best thing I could do to someone like her.''So… how did it go?'' a voice said.I didn't need to look back to know that it was Patrick who spoke. He was very inquisitive as well as nosey and would always want to know everything that was going o
"Parker, let's go make some cookies." Amanda said.She was in the mood to eat and actually make some of the delicious cookies with Parker. With him, she always felt safe, like nothing could actually go wrong which was her own safe space."Now?" He asked."Yes, or don't you?" Amanda asked.Not that she'd be angry about that but she just knew that the next time she decided to make it, she wouldn't have the energy to."I'm game." Parker smiled.Together, they made their way towards the kitchen, holding hands like lovestruck teenagers. Sometimes, they couldn't get a hold of themselves which at times was very annoying especially to Jamie who couldn't stand them at all."If Jamie was here, you know he'd probably shout at us for being so cringy." Amanda laughed."Yeah... Yeah, I told the guy to get a girlfriend but he feels so reluctant about it. I'll probably talk to him about it again." Parker said."Is he scared of commitments?" Amanda asked.That was the only thing that came to her mind
"Yo! Parker, I have to get out for a while." Jamie said.His plan was to go to the brotherhood's office to tell them that he would be leaving soon. It hurt him to leave but he had to get back to his mother and also finish up his school."Okay, stay safe bro." Parker said from the inner room.He was helping Amanda with some of her homework which some of her friends had mailed to her. It was off to say the least because it was usually the other way around with her teaching him. But if there was one thing Parker was good at, it was English literature.When it came to that, he was champion, nobody could beat him in that and it was no wonder he aced all his papers in that aspect."Will do." Jamie said.He left the house, shutting the door firmly. Ever since Amanda was attacked in school by that crazy monster, she'd been taking home lessons which was safer and both Parker and her uncle could keep an eye on her.Her uncle who had planned to leave before might not be leaving in a long time.
