The following morning…

‘I survived the first gun shot and then these guys came out looking to finish up what they started and I miraculously escaped. I really have to be one lucky bustard’ I thought to myself.

As I was in deep thought, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in” I said.

Christine walked into the room.

“Hey, how you feeling?” she asked as she closed the door behind her.

“I’m better” I said as I sat up on the bed.

“Okay, I’ll be out for a few hours and uhm I will send my neighbor’s son to come check up on you” she said.

The fact that she was living the house and they previous day we were dodging bullets didn’t sit well with me, I felt like she was putting life in danger since everybody who got involved with me had possibilities of catching a bullet or two and this time I had to be concerned.

“Are you sure that you

    1 month later…Christine treated me so good, mainly similar to how Charlotte treated me when she found me at her door step, Christine’s humanity was way out of this world. Johnny and Sophie kept me company all the time Christine left the house, we became close to the point where they were more than just friends to me but family. It felt like I ended up with Christine for a reason or a specific purpose. Since Johnny and Sophie couldn’t go to school because of the so-called tax, I decided to home school them. Johnny was more interested in computers so I borrowed Christine’s computer then downloaded coding tutorials and coding apps for him. Sophie was a different one, the different kind of a girl who loved competitive sport, I looked for a local football club online and applied for her.The application was successful but first Sophie had to undergo trials before she could officially be part of the team. So, the day came when we had to accompany he

    The next morning…Still worried about what happened the previous night and what was it that the counselor held this neighborhood by, I woke up early in the morning fixing the broken window. Christine came looking for me.“Oh, I checked in your room and you weren’t there” she said.“How did you sleep?” I asked.“With one eye open” she sighed.I understood what she meant by that; I also didn’t sleep because of the counselor’s guys. I kept on feeling like they were going to come back again. Deep down I still felt that I needed to do something about this counselor and I had to come up with a solution that was going to make him back off.“Can I make you tea?” she asked.“please” I replied.She went back to the house as I followed her.“Hey so what are you doing today?” Christine asked.“I promised to assist Johnny wit

    In the morning, I woke up to a knock on the door.“Come in” I said.Christine opened the door as she entered the room.“Morning” I greeted her.“Morning, uhm can you please take Sophie to her practice? I know I promised to take her but I’m not feeling well, take my car” she pleaded with me.I remembered that before I got shot, I was actually learning how to drive but I wasn’t sure if I was perfect yet. I thought to myself ‘why not try it?’“Yeah, I will take her there. What time?” I replied.“Around 10 AM” she said.“Okay cool” I said.“Thank you very much” she replied.“Anything for you” I replied.Christine left my room as I sat on the bed trying to figure out what to do with the email that I came across the previous night. I knew that taking the information to the police or any kind of

    Christine and I were still sitting in the sitting room, with me waiting for her response. It was very much clear that whatever the counselor did to her had a severe impact on her. We never had a deep conversation about this counselor and what he actually did to her in the past and this time I had to ask. I gave Christine a concerned stare.“Look, I don’t want you to agree helping me out because I forced you” I cleared my throat “can you please decide? I will respect whatever decision you take” I said.“The truth is I hate that man and he had put my family through hell, since I was a kid, he has been terrorizing this community especially my family” a tear fell from one eye “this man killed my parents and nothing was done about it. So, if this is how justice is to come and if this is how I get to avenge my parents, then I’m in” Christine wiped her tears with the palm of her hand.I nodded “Okay then

    “Do you understand me?” I asked Sarah.She nodded without saying a word back, I took out a burner phone and handed it to her.“This is a burner phone, immediately when you leave here you will go straight to the counselor’s office and you will give me a call. After planting everything I gave you in his office, you’re going to throw it away then that’s the end of me and you” I instructed her.“It that all?” Sarah asked.“Yeah, that’s all” I replied.Sarah got off the sofa and gave me a very cold stare as she silently walked away and slammed the door on her way out. I felt bad for what I was doing to her that moment but that was the only way I could access the counselor’s office so I had to make her agree. I sat down immediately Sarah left the room.“I didn’t know you could be such a bad ass sometimes” Christine said.“Only when I have t

    The next morning…I woke up to Christine’s sounds in the kitchen and I decided to wake up and greet her. I walked out of my room, knowing that the awkwardness was not yet over I went all the way to the kitchen where she was preparing breakfast for Sophie so that she could eat before going to her soccer practice. I walked into the kitchen and Christine was right there waiting for the water to boil, she gave me a shy look.“Morning” I greeted her as I grabbed a cup.“Morning” she replied.“Can you please make me some?” I pleaded with her.“Okay” she replied as she took the cup from me.“Look…” I couldn’t finish the sentence as I was interrupted by the door.Sophie and Johnny who seemed to be in a very good mood walked into the house without knocking, seeing Sophie smiling and laughing, Christine and I glanced at each other wondering why she was this ex

    “I’m here” the counselor said.“Okay in 15 minutes there will be a train coming that side, I want you to get on it and get off at the next station” I replied.“Okay” he replied.The counselor must’ve been very pissed by the fact that I was doing all these things to him and there was nothing he could do. I kind of enjoyed ordering him around and the power I had over him felt so good. I glanced at Christine who was quietly seating next to me, she seemed like she was in deep thought or maybe hoping that the counselor got what he deserved.“Okay, I’m here” the counselor said.“You should learn how to follow rules, next time if you come with these puppies of yours, I’m going to take all your dirty laundry and give it to the public” I said.“Look for him, he must be somewhere around here” he yelled at his bodyguards.It appeared that my instincts

    The following day…It has been a few hours and Christine had taken Sophie to the soccer practice. She would have been on her way back at that moment. Johnny was sitting right beside me being busy with hacking tutorials which was his most favorite aspect when it came to IT and I was busy checking locations which I could meet the counselor at that day. As I checked, there was an old abandoned house which I assumed we could use for the meet up, it actually looked perfect for a secret mission that I was embarking on.I checked all the surroundings and I discovered that nearby there was a small complex which could be a great a diversion if the counselor would come with his body guards this time. I drafted the plan and how I wanted it to go and what was supposed to happen at that time. The counselor might have known how I looked like or who I am, so the plan was to send Christine to the meet up with him because I still wanted to remain anonymous but I had doubts and d

    “Who do you think you are?” Mr. Jackson asked.“I think I am the guy that makes you shiver,” I replied.“Give us our property and we’ll leave you alone, we won’t come for you or any of your family members,” Mr. Jacksons said.“Speaking of properties,” I scoffed “I found out that 99% of everything you too own is actually mine,”“Where did you get that nonsense?” Mr. Zhang replied.I raised the contracts.“Here’s the proof right here,” I said.They gave each other a look of shame as I threw the contracts on the ground, they just stared at me with no word coming out of their mouths.“So, I give you, your property,” I said “you give me my property. Deal?”“I told you that we were supposed to kill this fool,” Zhang yelled at Mr. Jackson “feed him to the dogs just like we did with his

    I thought that the process was going to take months and months but fortunately for me, I just went out for a week. It was unfortunate that I couldn’t get my memory back but I did remember that my dad mentioned something about the bookstore. So immediately when I woke up, I told Johnsons to send on of his men to go search for a small safety deposit box which might have been in the bookstore. Christine and I were booked into a guest house because we couldn’t go home, Mr. Jacksons’ men were surely watching my place.“So, who brought you to that room because I told Kevin not to bring you?” I asked.“John fetched us,” Christine said.“Okay,” I replied.I took my phone and dialed John’s number and after a few minutes of ringing he answered.“John listen, I want you to report about that file in your news bulletin tomorrow,” I said.Christine glanced at me.“Okay no

    At 10 PM, I got into my car and drove all the way to the place I met John when he took me to Dr. Johnsons for the first time. John was already there, so when I got out of the car, he had one of his guys drive my car to a safe place. We walked all the way to Dr. Johnsons’ office with me feeling nervous about this treatment because it was an experimental treatment, we weren’t even sure if it would bring back my memory. We walked into Dr. Johnsons’ office and we found Dr. Johnsons and the middle-aged man ready to start the treatment process.“Are ready?” he asked.“Yeah,” I said “let’s get on with this.”“You have to go through these papers first,” the middle-aged man said.“What is this?” I asked.“This is proof that you actually agreed to this treatment, in case something goes wrong,” the middle-aged man said.I went through the page and everything

    The following day I had a meeting with the clan leaders so Christine helped me prepare in the morning and then I was on my way to Mr. Jackson’s house. Since Kevin was busy with his granddad’s funeral I had to drive around alone, but his time as a driver now up and he also deserved to be driven too. I didn’t trust Jones’ men so the was no one that I was going to let any of them drive me. I finally arrived at the Jackson premises, and it was a very big house, this one was castle it felt like a king resided in that place. I parked my car in the drive way, then walked to the front door. Looking around, every corner of the yard had a security guard holding an AK. I rang the door bell and a helper opened the door. “Hello,” she greeted me “they’ve been waiting for you, this way.” She led the way to a certain room and opened the door, I looked at her. “Get in there, take off your clothes and grab a towel and leave your phone then follow me,” she instructed me

    After watching the news, I was now confident that these bastards were going to pay for everything they put me through. I could imagine Mr. Jacksons’ face when those news about the gala dinner were reported. My time to celebrate about the small wins was over and now it was time for me to go get my memory back so I met up with John the journalist in the city and we were going to meet the person who was going to help with it. I parked my car at one of the buildings as John instructed me to then we started walking by foot. “So, who is this person we are going to meet and what does he do?” I asked. “He’s just a private psychologist,” John replied “he helps people like you.” “What the heck is a private psychologist?” I asked. John just laughed a little “you’ll see,” he said. “I hope you are not taking me to those creepy voodoo psychics,” I replied. “No not at all,” John said. I took out a piece of paper with the details of the first

    Charlotte and Cindy glanced at each other then stared back at me.“Uhm, Lesly is just a contract killer” Cindy said “he was hired to date me so that he could get a reason to do anything to you.”“So, the story you told me in the guest house about me and you dating, then this Lesly guy stabbing you is all real?” I asked.“Yeah” Cindy nodded.“Where is he now?” I asked.“He is the one who is managing the drug route that comes from Thailand, he was promoted after injecting you” Charlotte said.I couldn’t believe what my ears were hearing, in fact I just didn’t know what to say next because my whole life was basically a lie. Charlotte came towards me and tried to touch me.“Don’t touch me” I violently pushed her hand away from me “you ruined my life.”“We are so sorry Kat” Charlotte said.“What

    “What is doing here” Charlotte asked.“Why are we here?” Cindy said.Without saying a word, I took the file and tossed it to their feet.“What is this” Cindy asked as she was picking it up.“You know I used to see this file in Charlotte’s laptop” I said “but I never dared to open it”Charlotte started shaking, realizing that the tables have actually turned and the chess game was now controlled by me.“I can explain” Charlotte replied as Cindy her gave a stare.“Your father used you too, to get to me” I said “and you guys just tamed the clown in me”Cindy tossed the file on the bed.“Listen,” Cindy replied “my dad used us and I know that what we did to you was unfair but we thought that we were doing the right thing”“The right thing?” I asked.“We were just young an

    Later that day…I grabbed the file and left my office, I found Kevin having a conversation with the receptionist, she was blushing and giggling, it felt good to see Kev building relationships with new people.“Let’s go Kev” I said as I walked past him and the receptionist.“Can I call you tonight?” Kevin asked the receptionist as he followed me.I looked back trying to see her response and I saw her just smiling and nodding, it was no doubt that she kind of liked Kevin. I jumped into the backseat of the SUV as Kevin headed to the front seat.“She likes you” I said.“Who?” he asked.“The receptionist” I replied “she likes you”Kevin just chuckled with no response and then he started the engine, that was sign enough for me to see that he was also into the girl.“Where to boss?” he asked.“There’s an old jewel

    The next morning…I woke up early in the morning and left the house before Christine even woke up. But the previous night I had told her that I was going to leave a little bit earlier. I arrived at the same time with the receptionist, she was pretty much the first one to arrive every day.“Good morning” I greeted her “wow, you look pretty today”“Thank you so much sir” she blushed.I walked past the reception and headed for my office. I sat on my chair thinking about how things were unfolding at this point, and how everything was going my way. I sat in that quiet office being in deep thought and then a call came through the telephone that was in my office.“Hello” I answered and it was my receptionist.“Sir, there are men here looking for you”I wasn’t expecting anyone at that moment but I assumed that it might’ve been Mr. Zhang and Mr. Jackson because we h
