For two good days, Roland never stepped out of the house. It was discovered that many people died in the streets as a result of the gunshot but the reason for the gunshot was not yet known.

"You haven't stepped out of the house since yesterday. What happened?" His wife asked sarcastically.

"I hope you're not trying to mock me?"

"Says who? I am only asking a question because I know you usually go out every day"

"I am very sure you are not deaf. You heard the gunshot and the people that fell victim and you are standing here asking me such a useless question"

Susan wanted to smile but she controlled herself.

"So if not for the gunshot you would have gone out. All thanks to whoever did such a thing to scare you away or stay back in your house. If I hadn't delayed you, I am sure you would have fallen victim to the bullet"

"Susan I am not ready for this talk"

    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?"
