"There's no point in knowing my name." The voice on the other side of the call said. "Who the heck are you?" I asked, my voice towering a bit."My name is not important here." The voice said, "Then what is? Get it over with, I don't have all day!" I exclaimed.A call came through from Aaron, while I was still on this call with the stranger. I didn't hesitate to cut the stranger's call."Aaron. Any updates?" I said calmly, clearing my throat. "Not quite exactly, Boss. Did you get a call from a number?" Aaron asked."Don't be an asshole, Aaron. Strangers call me everytime." I said, "okay, my bad, Boss" Aaron said, repeating the question."Well, I don't quite know how exactly to answer that and be correct. I did get a call from unknown numbers."But I was on the call with one of them when your own call came in. I thought that was out of line and strange." I said."I think someone is on his way to ambush you. And he's not the only one. He is coming in the company of his men and I tell you
As I watched my father's car leave the driveway, I felt empty inside in an empty house with noise. I had to leave as well, but where the hell was I going to go? With the pandemonium I had escaped down there, it was no place for me to be going back onto the streets. While the reality of the situation was still dawning on me, my cousin was gone, my friends were no longer to be trusted, possibly not even my father, and now, I and Marianne were no more. My legs wobbled beneath me as I stood from the chair. The house was suffocating me, the walls closing in upon themselves as I felt more buried under guilt with each passing second. I sighed and headed to the garage. I had to get my head cleared, and there was only one way: drive like a bat out of hell. I chose my birthday present from last year: a shiny red exquisite car. A night like this deserved a beast of a car. The engine jolted off, and I heard it reverberate inside the vast garage.I started it and heard its roar, its comfortin
The calls of the sirens were getting closer, and I knew it was time to leave. I stuffed the note into my pocket and in a mad dash out of there, diving into the car. The tires screeched as I tore out of the driveway, leaving the law enforcement miles behind. With my head spinning, I tried to make a decision. I couldn't even run to the police; they'd just use me as a convenient way of getting to my dad. My father told me loudly and often that I was alone. My only option was to pray and rely on my yogi training. Gina was in danger of being harmed by the armed men, and she might be killed trying to right this situation. Right the wrongs, at any price. The clutches of the car growled as I stomped on it, whipping through the narrow lanes of the road. It was my night, and I would seize the opportunity. I controlled this part of the city through various connections I had with many people who owed me favors. I would bring in every single one of them to assist with this search. I had to!
Reaching for my nightwear, I was more than eager to head out of the hotel room where I and Mark had spent some good time together. I was thus unaware of Mark’s piercing eyes starring lovingly at me. I had met Mark the day before; just when I had decided to cut off all flings and just focus on me.He was attractive-to everyone and of course me too and I found it so hard to resist him. But with the way we had met frequently, I was kind of getting weary of him.Probably because I had a lot of access to him, I couldn’t really tell. It’s human to not place much value on something you have a lot of.Holding tenaciously to my slender waist, Mark planted a deep kiss in my neck. He bit my neck lightly in just the right way. He knew just how to do exactly what he needed or wanted to do. Surprisingly somehow I found fortitude to get a grip of my self.Still under the intoxicating effect of his touches and subtle romantic signals, I managed to let out a few words as I still even struggled with th
"My pink heels carried me elegantly into the blasting music at the clubhouse. I wore matching pink short skirts and a cropped top that was a lighter shade of pink. My robust breasts sat beautifully in this cropped shirt, as my large nipples screamed hello to every eye that cared to look.I made sure to look my absolute best, you know what they say; your ex should never meet you the way they left you. I made sure to keep to that on this occasion. My hair nicely packed in a beautifully round wrap with pink rose shaped hair clips that sat alluringly on my round head. To crown that all up I touched my already beautiful face with light matching make up.I sat lonelily at the counter as I ordered my favorite mix of tequila, for some unclear reason I was a little tense. Intuitively I sensed something wasn’t right. I tried to shove it under the carpet- it could just be tension; I was going to be seeing my ex after a long time at this party so it was expected to an extent.I sipped on my tequ
I kept walking till I got close to the pharmacy that stood adjacent to my house. Upon approaching the pharmacy I remembered that I’d needed to take a health test. But I had a problem. The owner of the pharmacy was my mother’s best friend, if she by any chance gained knowledge of the fact that I came to take a health test at the pharmacy, that would be trouble!I had a plan regardless.“Good evening Ma’am, please I’ll need to know how it goes if one wants to have a check up, asking for a friend” I lied. “May! It’s good to see you here!” A voice called out from behind.The voice sounded so handsome, masculine and alluring. It sounded very familiar too. I prayed it wasn’t my guess of who it might be.“Oh Hi Mark! It’s been a while, how have you been?” I was still trying to get used to addressing him by his name. I was disappointed at the fact that the voice calling out from behind was him. I wasn’t expecting to see him, I had been so disgusted at how gullible he was with me, I didn’t ev
“Yeah! Bye! Take care!” I replied still trying to sound as natural as possible. I feigned a fake smile just to cover up even more, I watched him take the left turn before heading back to my position to continue listening to the phone conversation I was on.“Is it just me or was Anna faking a smile?” I insinuated, as we walked home. “Oh come off it!” I snapped “What were you expecting her to put up? A real smile? For that pretend of a thing you and Mark have going on? By the way nothing about him looked fake to me.” Rita said on the phone.“He doesn’t know how to pretend, if he was upset, infuriated or what not, he’ll show it“ I concluded.I kept listening eagerly as we walked on. The conversation seemed to get more heated with every passing second. “I’m thinking we should just eliminate him, why stress when we could just kill him” Rita suggested in almost a whisper as I heard her lit a stick of cigarette.Upon hearing this my heart missed a beat, I didn’t know how much time they had
“I was trying to not hit him when I crashed into the side light.” They went on and on asking questions that seemed unnecessary to me, finally the questioning came to an end.“Well noted Miss Anna, thank you. We’ll get across to you if we have anymore questions.” Before the last word could leave the head officer’s mouth. Anna’s supposed father came rushing in.“Baby! How are you? I came rushing down here as soon as I heard what happened! How serious is your condition?” he said, obviously concerned. It was very clear that he loved her dearly, she was his daughter so why not!"“I’m better Father, how’s the company and who’s in charge now?” In almost a frown she waited impatiently for her father’s reply.“The deputy is functioning as Acting CEO for now. Health is wealth baby. Please get well, that’s what matters now.”“I know Dad, I just asked an important question” with that she lay down and rolled over to the other side-facing James. He stared lovingly at her. I could still see she was
Butterflies grew in her belly, Lau had a jovial demeanor and he was good looking too. He was irresistible."Take a break! Lau!" Ris said calmly, she was a bit envious now, but was good at hiding it. Nan on the other hand, pulled Lau to herself, pretending to play.Dita wasn't even about any of that, she admired how well they got along. She found Lau attractive and that was all there was to it.She knew she was too young for any kind of emotional entanglement. She had a strong resolve to be very studious and thus she often came tops in her class."What did you say your name was again?" A rude voice asked, from behind her. "My name is Dita, she let out."I only asked of your name. Why are you so nervous?" The rude voice had now become soft, Dita was used to hearing those phrases, as much as she hated hearing them, there was not much she could do."I'm Mr.Ri" he said, speaking on when she didn't give an answer to his question. He was a new teacher and strikingly hot! He was drop dead gor
"You shouldn't have gone through the stress." I said, looking sweetly at him. "It's no stress when it has to do with you my love." He said. We talked briefly, he then left the office to his as work was calling. Thompson was such a sweet and loving man. I blessed the day I met him in my heart.I arrived home after work, reminiscing on how beautiful the day had been, it was indeed a beautiful day and indeed a sweet one. I couldn't stop thinking about the sweet treatment Thane gave me. He seemed different from Mariano, I tried to convince myself of that. But you couldn't tell by the fact what these men were capable of, I thought to myself. They always seemed nice at first. I arrived at work the next day, to find we had a new recruit. "Goodness! She's so gorgeous!" I heard one of staff sat from behind me. For some weird reason, I felt a surge of envy rise within me.Nuka had just been recruited by the company, she was excited and sad at the same time. Excited at the fact that she'd mee
"Yeah, you shouldn't. You should just use the door. That's something I'll recommend you do now." I answered, I could see she was getting angry already. "Did you think bringing that up was necessary? And how did you even know about that? Are you watching me or something?" "I don't know why I'm the one you're asking these questions. You should he trying to explain to your fiance what was going on." I added, about to walk away, before stopping in my tracks. "Don't worry, I'm not anything like you, I didn't give him any details, although he begged that I give him details.""Next time, be more careful, the wall had ears and the air has eyes. That's just something for you to remember, if you would want to remember of course, not like I'm forcing you to." I added, "anything else I can help you with?" I asked, looking sternly at her. "Um.... Thank you." She said, as if forcing the words out of her mouth. "Thank you for the save. For... Not revealing every detail." She added."I'm curious t
His fiance made her way in, "what exactly is going on here?" She asked, looking at him irritated, "nothing. She's a top staff." He said, for lack of words and how to start explaining the fact that there was nothing going on. "Staff you say?" She questioned calmly, in almost a whisper.She came close to Mark, inches away from him, she whispered something in his ears, from the expression on her face and his, it wasn't good. "There's nothing going on between us. We're just colleagues. If there was something going on, I'll tell you to your face, you know me too well, right?" I said, looking squarely at her now. "By the way, you don't want us to get started on your time at the beach, yesterday." I let out. "What.... What are you talking about?" She stammered, "Time at the beach?" Mark let out. "What is she talking about?" He continued."I don't know what she's talking about, I have no idea." She lied, "Are you serious? You are supposed to know what I'm talking about, or should I just go
There's no point in thanking me! I'm going to be needing your help in no time! I said to myself as I watched him walk out of the door. I was hopeful about my wish on getting my revenge, because I knew if the odds were on my side there's a lot I can better work on in that direction.The day slowly came to an end as always, I was always excited when it was finally time to go home, I missed the cozy arms of my bed. This time however, I didn't want to go home, I was feeling nostalgic, I wanted to take a walk.I stayed close to a beautiful beach bar. The streets were always beautifully decorated and everything was so naturally alluring. I got home just in time to get prepared and head for the beach.I wasn't exactly going there to run along the beach, just a way of resting, but not in my bed this time, resting around nature this time. I lay on the warm mat I had seen, as I watched the oceans swirl back and forth, slapping against the white sand of it's own shores.I thought back to how bea
"She was my friend, so as you might have guessed rightly, I have a lot of information, even the ones you might be hiding. She told me everything before her passing. I'm letting you both in on this because I want to help you. But I'll be needing that help in return. I'll tell you when and why.""Your father, or let me say, the person you know as your father, he's not your real father." I let out, whispering into his ears. "Let this stay between you, the boss and I." I added, looking around the room before bringing my gaze back to him."You must be sick. That's not true!" He let out, screaming a whisper. "What do I gain by lieing to you? I'm just trying to save my face here, at least I'm not the one who is an accomplice to crime in anyway." I said, taking my focus back to the screen of my computer."I'm not sick at all. I'm just telling you the simple truth. What you choose to make of it is up to you. Let me continue. Please don't cut me off again, it's to your own detriment because the
Marianne's POV "Hallucinations? Why would I have hallucinations? I'm not mentally deranged or something." I added, "not only mentally deranged people experience it. Those who are going through a tough time emotionally might also experience that, if they're not careful." He explained."I don't think I'm having hallucinations. Issues? There's nothing that even has to be about it in the first place. I'm very fine." I defended again, refusing to accept something that was so clear. "Well, here, that's the picture. And don't ask me how I got that because you wouldn't want...""Wouldn't want to know?" He cut in, collecting the picture from my hand. "Wow." He mentioned, with suspense in his tone, as he looked on fearfully at the paper he held in his hand. "Wow?" I asked, "who's Wow?" I asked again. He had now slowly sat back in his seat.He suddenly, finally seemed to understand what I was going through. "Talk to me! Do you know him?" I let out, confused. "Yes, I do. But you must keep this a
Marianne's POV Sitting in my office, I felt a strange nudging to get up and head for the door. I didn't know why but I knew something might be going on. I was no more with Blake but I still felt a strong attachment to him.It was like I could almost tell when he was in danger. I had a strong nudging on my inside to scroll through his face profile. What I saw shattered me into tiny pieces. I was not completely over him I'll be a liar to say I was. Driya, the lady I knew he had been cheating on me with before the divorce, I was following her on all platforms. That was how obsessed I was with Blake. I noticed Driya had a sister too, Dranca.Maybe that would be the helping hand she had to tear down all I and Blake had built over the years. I stood at the door, pacing around it like I was chained to it by an invisible chain. I came across another name Ifti, quite a rare name.From the nature of the comment he left on the post, he was obviously angry at Driya's mother, Gifa and the entire
Ifti's Point of View“Bastards! And you let them escape!” I stare at my men in anger. I squeeze my fists so tight my hands become hot. “Track them now!” I slide my phone from my pocket and I dial Imelia’s phone. I can hear the phone ringing but the stupid girl does not pick up. “God damn it!” Veins in my head shows boldly. “Track them!” I can feel my pulse rising, if I as much as set my eyes on them, I would kill that stupid Driya of a girl and the rest, I will make sure they grovelnon their knees and beg for death. My men run around looking like confused chickens too scared to disobey my command, their faces pale with fear, I throw a blind eye to it. Anything outside laying my hands on Driya has nothing to do with me at this moment. They know better than to fail me again.I pace to and fro in the living room, my mind racing with anger and betrayal, my brain cannot seem to contain a simple thought. How could they escape? How could Driya defy me like this? No one, absolutely no on
