"Damn it, how's he here?" Kay mumbled to himself as they both hid in a corner, he watched as George walked past where they hid, he was sure he had spilled the right amount that could make him fall into a deep slumber yet here he was walking majestically, and moments from now he would find out that Alex was missing."I thought you had given him an overdose." Alex snickered staring at Kat who was still processing everything."Now isn't the time to talk nonsense, we have to abort the mission.""What nonsense are you speaking, let's leave now!" "And die?""What?!" Alex "He's going to eventually find out that I'm missing, this is the only chance we got to leave.""Calm down, I know my way around here, wait here.""What if someone comes here?"."Don't act like a scared little girl."."Hey, what are you doing there?" Someone called out while approaching them with a cigar between his lips as he walked nonchalantly with a gun by his side, Kay and Alex exchanged glances as the man walked tow
Ashley jerked up to the sound of gunshots being fired, fear gripped her as she sat beside her bed trembling. "Have they found me?" She thought to herself, if they did know she was in this house then she had better go outside so they can find her easier. She stood up making her way to the door trying to open it but it was locked, she had forgotten that George wasn't one to take risks and was yet to trust her."Damn!" She bit her lips thinking of what to do, she didn't know how to pick locks so she looked around the room for anything that could help her get out of the room. She banged the door hard trying to gain the attention of the guard standing outside her room door."Get me out of here." She screamed banging on the door constantly but he didn't listen to her and maintained his position. Ashley saw that and immediately stopped, looking around the room in a desperate attempt to run, she tried breaking the window glass but it didn't even make a crack. She brushed her hair backward wi
"How?" She stared at him in shock as he slowly walked towards her, she moved back trying to open the door but it was locked, she banged on it screaming as hot tears flowed down her eyes."Please let me go!" She yelled turning back to see him closer to her, her lips quivered in fear as he grabbed her arm, yanked her from the floor, and pushed her to the bed, thankfully she landed on her back."Tell me, do you think you can leave here just because you think there's ongoing chaos?" He grabbed her cheeks roughly making her look at him. "I warned you not to mess with me yet over and over you do the same thing.""Let me be!""Not when you're mine for life." "In your fucking dreams! Let me pay back what my father owes you so that you won't bother me anymore." She tried reasoning with him but his face said otherwise, he wasn't planning on letting her go neither was he planning on listening to her just yet instead he burst out laughing at her bad words amidst the fear she felt."You are one
"What makes you think you have the choice of leaving this place?" George asked gazing at them with deep seeded anger, he pointed his gun at them with another hand in his pocket with a coy smile as he got closer. "What do you take me for?" "Bastard!""Now's not the time to chit-chat, we need to make a run for it." Kay reminded Alex who was glaring at George."Don't you think that's what he wants us to do?" Kay pointed out."It's better than standing waiting for him to sink a bullet in us?" Alex replied."Why don't you run off, I'll hold him back." Kay offered since he could hardly move but Alex wasn't buying the idea, he can't bear to lose someone at this moment."Not today buddy, you need to survive." Alex carried him up and they both walked through the door that led to the garage, bolting it from the inside. They both raced to the car but a gunshot made them stop in their tracks, they stared at the direction from which it was fired."Just where do you think you're going?" George as
"Do you think you won?" Those were the first words George said to Ashley as she opened her eyes staring at him leaning over her in the dimly lit room. She tried to understand what was going on, her head ached in pain as she sat up, and she immediately touched her belly to know if her child was okay and thankfully it was."What made you think you could pull that stunt on me huh?" He laughed standing up from the bed, facing the wall as he tried to calm the rising anger in him."You're crazy." She spoke slowly getting herself, she tried moving her legs but couldn't so she thought it was because they were still in shock."I hope you won't feel guilty finding out that you caused the death of those men.""I did nothing you insolent fool, why do you keep acting inhuman? Take a break and think of the negative impact you keep having on everyone…. Those men trusted you with their lives.""It was time to atone for their sins, sad I didn't give them a speech, they must have looked forward to it."
The explosion of the mansion was the talk of the whole country as it was in a very popular area and caused lots of casualties and decreased the value of houses. The police notified the public it was due to a mafia dispute, and many feared more of it may occur again. Tracy and Susan sat across the television with saddened expressions, it's been months since it happened yet it felt like yesterday and they couldn't get over the fact that their friend was dead and didn't even get a chance to have her child. After the decision they had told the police to search for the remains of their friend but there was no sign of her existence which left them in a haze."Any leads from the detective?" Tracy asked looking up at Susan who kept typing on her laptop."Nope! Seems like they've given up looking for her, we can't even have a memorial for her." Susan mumbled with evident tears in her eyes, she still couldn't bring herself to accept the fact that her friend was dead. She clenched her fists tryi
The man walked away from the car and spoke to the driver inaudibly before walking away, the driver walked back to the car revving up the engines, and drove toward town."So you know that guy huh?" Alex asked the obvious truth but wanted to strike up a conversation with the driver since there was an intimidating silence in his car."Of course, although he doesn't look it, he's pretty rich." The driver smiled as he spoke."Really?" Alex asked as though he was interested in knowing more about this man that seemed like a threat when he was so close to him. "Tell me more about him.""Why would you want to know?" The driver rolled his eyes leaning his hand out of the window. "Why would a poor fisherman like you want to know more about my boss? Are you some kind of detective?" "I would be happy if he patronized my business, I sell nice and fresh big fish." Alex forced a smile trying to convince the man to spit out more information."Tell me what makes you think you would get to meet such
Alex held the iron bar in his hand tightly as he approached the man who had no idea what was to occur, Alex felt somewhat guilty about what he was about to do but remembered he needed to do away with George so that Ashley could be safe. He lifted the bar and just in time the man turned around but it was too late as it hit his head making him pass out instantly."Forgive me." He mumbled while dragging the man and looking around to ensure no one noticed him. He hid him in a corner and quickly changed their clothes. He put the hood over his head and a piece of clothing to hide his face. He walked into the car and revved the engines driving down the road to where he was to meet with George as discussed. After a while, he found him by the side of the road looking around somewhat nervously and felt relieved when he saw the car approaching. Alex parked by the side not getting out of the car and just looking at the window trying to act unsuspicious."I'll go get my things." George walked back
Alex stepped into the house, he took note of a strand lying on the floor, he looked around for an item with weight, he took a few steps backward and threw the item toward the strand and just like he thought, an explosion occurred. George was on his way to the ship when he heard the explosion. “Yes! “ He yelled, laughing boisterously, Ashley who looked half dead, too weak from her wailing, mourning Alex just stood there as he pulled her toward the ship. Hearing the explosion, she was startled, she wondered why he would blow off the abandoned guest house when he was about to get away. “It's finally the end, we can finally start a new life, with nothing to worry about, Don't worry I will take care of the child since it means a lot to you, All you need to do is love me, much more than you did Alex” He blurted out, caressing her cheek, she slowly pulled away from him. He clenched his teeth, as he watched her pull away, he pulled away as he was filled with ecstasy from the realizati
Alex lay on the hospital bed, watching as the fluids flowed through the line into his veins. “Buzz!” his phone buzzed, he tilted his head to pick up his phone, and he saw a message from an unknown sender. He yanked himself off the bed and he punched his phone to check the message. “If you want your wife and child in one piece, show yourself, and let’s end this once and for all” Alex read it out, he looked around but no one was there, at that moment another message came in “Involve the police and she gets it!” Alex looked around panicking, the thoughts of Ashley stuck with the monster again scared the shit out of him, He groaned, flipping his phone out of sight. He was not ready to dance to George’s tune, more so he wanted all this to end as soon as possible. He looked to make sure no one was watching him, he pulled out his car keys from the shelf next to his bed. He got up, walked toward the door, peeped through, and rolled back to his ward, pacing around the room as Cops w
Alex opened his eyes slowly, staring at the ceiling with his lashes constantly falling on each other, he titled his head to his left but there was no one next to him, he titled to his right, same emptiness, he rose off his bed, he looked around him, nothing felt familiar to him, stroking his hair, he walked through the walkway before him. ''Hey Alex, you’re up" Ashley hurled toward himHis jaw dropped, and puffed out a sigh of relief, seeing Ashley hale and hearty with their child still in her belly. He dashed toward her, pulling her into his arms, ''Oh baby, I was so worried, I thought something bad happened" He shivered as he held her hands. She pulled away gently with an awkward smile, “Something did happen but I'm glad you’re okay, let’s have breakfast” She urged as they walked together “Ashley, where is this?” Alex asked as he looked around the unfamiliar house, “What do you mean? We bought this house months after we got married” Ashley answered as she set out the table f
Ashley slowly opened her eyes as she had shut them when he was about to pull the trigger. She felt the worst might have happened and was scared to see the horrible sight before her, she slowly looked at Alex to see if he was okay and thankfully he was, she looked at George whose arm was bleeding at the moment, Ashley gazed up to see who had shot him and gasped."I told you I was going to kill you myself." Mika stood in the doorway panting and holding her stomach in pain, Ashley recalled her being shot and thought she had passed away but thankfully she had saved them. George scoffed at her, aiming the other gun at her."If you really intended to kill me then you would aim for my chest or head." He sounded cocky, not a single shred of fear in his voice. Alex used the opportunity to launch an attack on George and punch him in the head thereby making him stagger forward, Alex took the gun from his hand and hit his hand where the bullet had been fired, he groaned in pain as blood gushed ou
I would do it and that's a promise." Alex assured him staring him right in the eye. "All you have to do is let my wife be and live your life."George burst out laughing at him knowing quite well, what the proposal was going to be. "Do you really think I'm that frightened that I can't leave whenever I want?""You can't leave, isn't it obvious to you already? You would need my help and the only way you can leave is if I help you." Alex tried to bargain with him but George didn't seem to be interested in the offer and just burst out laughing at him."I wonder what you would do if people going out with you wanted to help a mafia out of the country just to keep his girl.""She's not yours you idiot!" Alex ranged in anger even though he felt like crap he couldn't stand the nonsense being spoken by George. One more kick in the stomach and he would literally cough out all his intestines if this carried on."Do you really think things are going to go your way because you feel so?" Alex laug
A week had passed and still no response or return call from George which had Alex really worried, he had tried to track the number which was used in calling him but to no avail, it was as though it was erased and never existed. He got a call from an unknown number instantly answering it knowing who it was."If you want to talk, meet me at the location sent to you, bring someone along with you and she's screwed." George said from the other line of the phone and ended the call. Before he could say anything, the call ended. Alex quickly grabbed his keys making his way down the stairs, Tracy stood up at the sight of him making his way down the stairs so quickly wondering why he was in a rush."Have you found anything yet?" She asked him."He asked me to meet him up somewhere.""Let me go with you, maybe I could be of help somehow." She offered seeming somewhat restless, hoping that her friend was alright."Stay with Susan and I'll handle this, besides it could be dangerous for you to be
Ashley silently sat on the cold floor staring in silence and not knowing what to do in her situation, She believed that Susan would be fine and by now they would have realized she was nowhere to be found, She felt sad that she didn't tell Alex about her plan but hoped he would understand her decision.Her train of thought was disturbed by the sound of the metal door opening, she looked up to see George approaching her with a big smile on his face as though he deserved it."What seems to be on your mind, my lady?" He grinned, placing a can of soda and some bread beside her."Predicting your death, what else?" She retorted sarcastically, he let out a light chuckle and paced around the room looking around as though finding if she had created some sort of escape route."Hmmm, dying by your hands doesn't seem like a bad idea you know? I won't make that possible because I don't want your hands to be stained with blood." He winked at her, and she rolled her eyes, staring at the junk beside h
Ashley looked around the place to see if anyone was coming and when she saw no one, she became more frightened, she had left the house under Alex's nose but this was the sacrifice she had to make to ensure the safety of Susan."Thought you weren't going to come."George snickered from behind, she jerked her head to look at him and her body followed, a frown shown on her face as she gazed at him in hatred."Have you set her free?" She asked and he nodded at her reassuringly but it was hard to believe his words but she had no other option. "So what are you going to do to me now?" "Continue from where we stopped." He smirked at her, dragging her by the hair and pulling her closer. She screamed in pain trying hard to release herself from his grip but to no avail. "Did you really think that I would let it slide you bitch?""I dont care if you're angry, you deserve to die.""Who is talking about dying? If at all anyone needs to die first it should be that baby in your belly." He smirked a
Ashley took out the tracker she had in her hair and handed it over to Tracy."I'm glad you're safe, I hope your didn't get hurt." Alex observed her body for any signs of injuries but she was okay."You don't have to worry too much darling, I'm doing just fine." She assured him."What happened to Mika?" He asked her and her face instantly turned to a frown."She betrayed us, she had intentionally exchanged the ring tracker to divert the attention of the cops but thankfully I had another which she had no idea about." ,shley explained."I'm sorry about that… for putting you and our baby in danger." He held her hand in his with a guilty face."It's alright but I didn't have trust for her from the onset and thankfully it paid off." She shrugged."The doctor would be here soon as you requested," Tracy told Alex who nodded frantically, Ashley looked at him in confusion wondering why he called the doctor."What's wrong?" She asked scrunching her brows and waiting for him to respond."I need t
