JORDAN
"What did you do?" She screamed the moment she turned around and saw his face.
"Is he the one?" I found myself asking and pulling her closer even as she tried walking away from me.
"What have you done?" She mumbled while placing her hands on her mouth and pulling herself away from me.
"What are you talking about?" I asked her and tried stopping her from going to see the man who was lying dead with his real face revealed.
"What did you do?" She raised her voice and yanked her arms away from me, almost falling herself.
"I don't understand you," I said with confusion and her eyes widened with rage.
"You killed him" she yelled.
"He was pointing a gun at you" I yelled back and her eyes softened. She turned to the dead body and stared at him.
"Was he?"
"Yes," I answered.
"Is he the one?" I inquired of her going
SAMANTHA I turned around and was unable to look at Jordan as his accusing gaze pierced into my skin. "What..." Came his voice and I felt like disappearing immediately. I realized that I shouldn't have said a thing, but he had said he would help me if only he knew the truth. It made me feel like he would understand me and help me. But the look he had on his face suddenly made me think otherwise. "Uhmmm.." "You just said that you did this for us," he said and came closer to me. "No...I didn't...I meant..." I stuttered and I knew I was doing a bad job for a criminal mastermind just like myself but I couldn't find anything reasonable to say and feeling Jordan's eyes on me made it worse. "Samantha" he growled and I flinched. I hated when he was this way, he knew how to scare me whenever he was like this. And he knew how to get the truth out of me most times. Jordan was my friend and w
GENESISI sighed heavily when I realized that it was useless trying to think about something that went wrong earlier that day. I had everything well thought out and planned. I knew that the moment I found him, then Samantha would be exposed and I would stop living with a criminal. But that wasn't the case, he had been shot and killed because the fool had attempted to kill me and every thing was ruined. I was so tired of being angry and just decided to do something else with my time. There was no hiding from Sam, she would do whatever she wanted to do, whenever she wanted to do it. I knew I was supposed to remain in fear of her till she finally leaves but I didn't want to live in that way anymore. I have been scared from the day I entered that house, I have been broken and bartered and wounded and kidnapped. I have lived in fear but as much as I could I didn't want to anymore. I just wanted to live my miserable life in a better way rat
GENESISBelieving that I was safe was the last thing in my thoughts. Samantha was still free and living in the same house as me. Somehow, a criminal had sneaked into the house and had been killed before he could tell the truth. I didn't feel safe, I felt like she had more things that were up to her sleeves and wouldn't stop till I was dead or out of the house. How could I feel safe with such a woman in my house?I rolled over on the bed, groaning loudly because I had tried sleeping but couldn't. I had this fear inside of me that was stopping me from sleeping and it was slowly eating me up. Though I wanted to believe that I was safe, I felt I wasn't safe at all. I couldn't help it.After a long time of rolling on the bed, I realized that I couldn't sleep so I decided to go down and have something to eat. It had slowly become a normal routine for me and soon enough, I w
JORDANI woke up when I felt something heavy on my hands and tried to move my head, a sharp pain hit me and so did the rest of my body feel the same pain. I slept in a very uncomfortable position and it had resulted in why I felt so many pains all over my body. My eyes traveled to my hands that seemed heavy for some reason. Then I saw Genesis holding my arm like it was a pillow that she could cuddle.I stared at her with relief in my heart before I checked the time. It was already 8:am and I had so many plans for that day. I haven't been to the office in days and I needed to at least work from home if I didn't want things collapsing on me. But the first thing in my mind was putting a smile on Genesis's face, I had to do something I knew she would want, something that would make her extremely happy.I turned back to the lady who was sleeping so peacefully. I took her hands off mine
JORDANTears didn't stop coming down her eyes as she stared at me with expressions that looked like gratitude and appreciation. She stared at me like one of those girls who finally met their idol. I understood that girls did that alot whenever they see me buy for a girl her age, I wasn't sure it was normal."It's an honour to have you here?" Mr Connor spoke up with lots of emotions in her voice and I turned to where the both parents stood. They also had that look in their eyes and it made me feel really uncomfortable."Yes, indeed. What happened? Why are you here? Is Genesis alright?" The mom immediately started, worry filled her voice as she came closer to me and I realized how much they really cared about their daughter."Whoaaah, let the man have some peace" her husband said to her and she sighed and turned back to me"I'm sorry, it's just....""
JORDAN I turned to Ava, still confused about what she was saying, her eyes were a bright brownish color but not a blue, like that of her sister. Yet they were bright and beautiful, it also had that same look of appreciation and gratitude it had when she saw him first at their house, and a smile was on her face. "Ava...I don't....." "Oh my God!" She suddenly yelled and turned to the window of the car with wide eyes. "Is that where we are going?" She asked excitedly and anything I was going to say or ask her flew down the window immediately. "Yes...that's our house" I replied her and she shrieked with wide eyes. "That's where my sister lives too?" He asked and I gave her a nod. She shrieked again, loudly, it was killing my ears but for the first time all through our ride, I smiled at her ecstasy and e
JORDANHer eyes widened at my pronouncement and she opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out of her mouth. I turned back to the house angrily and made my way back to my studies.Samantha was slowly getting on my nerves and what was worse was the feeling of not knowing the woman I fell in love with before now.As a kid, she was always around me, always so close, and we attended the same school together. That was till I started crushing on her, she was beautiful and any guy would have understood why I crushed on her back then. But she wasn't only beautiful, she was kind, sweet, and caring. Always involved in humanitarian activities in school and always goes out of her way to save others.I remembered that one time, I was coming out of the cafeteria when I noticed how the crowds were gathered in a place and went closer to them. A bully had shredded a girl's cloth till she
JORDANLooking away from Ava, I got up from where I had sat beside her and turned back to the chair behind my desk. The only problem here was that I couldn't sit down, instead, I relaxed my hands on top of the desk. I was a little confused, a little perplexed, and uneasy. Yet I smiled for a little While then I turned back to Ava. she had this confused feeling on her face and her brows were knitted into a frown.How could I have been so stupid? I thought Genesis was at fault, I called her a deceiver, I called her a liar, I called her a deceitful person and I made her pay for lying to me. I put all my anger and annoyance and frustration out on her whenever I could. I could count how many times I mistreated her with my own hands yet it turned out she was just a victim as much as I was.But how could it be possible? This could have been another lie of hers or a formulated story my mother has, my mom
