We had less than an hour to prepare for our mission and we were getting ready. Christine had arranged the injections that we were going to sedate the counselor with. Everything was ready, I had my ear piece and Christine had hers so that we could communicate properly during the execution of plan that we had in place. I took all the equipment we needed, put it inside the bag and threw it inside the car as we both got into the car and Christine drove away from our place, with me in the passenger seat.

“You ready?” I asked.

“Yeah, and nervous” she replied with her eyes locked on the road.

“If we successfully pull this off, we’re definitely going to shake a lot of people’s confidences” I replied.

“I just want to see this idiot taste his own medicine” she said.

I nodded with smile at this moment I realized that Christine was completely in for this. We arrived at the abandoned house, I glanced a

    “What do you mean you were there when my hit was organized?” I asked.The counselor remained silent and it was clear to me that he knew something about my shooting. And since he knew about my shooting, I realized at this moment that things were actually going my way.“Let’s leave that aside for a few minutes Mr. counselor, do you know why you’re here?” I asked.“My men are out there looking for me, you won’t get too far with this. I’m going to kill you” he replied.“You are in no position to make threats dumb head besides they’ll never find you out here so they can keep looking” I said.“What do you want?” he asked.I grabbed my chair and sat opposite him; I gave him an eye contact but he kept on looking away.“I want us to play a game” I replied.“A game?” he asked.“Yeah, I ask you answer.

    After hours of harassing the counselor, it was now around 06:00 AM and every information the counselor gave me was very important, and the fact that he told me about the people who ordered my hit was a cherry on top but I wasn’t done with this guy. “Let me go now man, I won’t tell anybody about this I swear” the counselor begged. “I make the rules and I will decide if I let you go or not” I replied. “Are you going to kill me after this? You better kill me after this because I’m going to find you” he said. “You are in no position to make threats Mr. useless counselor” I said. “Look man, you’ve made your point. I…” he said. “Shut up” I yelled, interrupting him “You’re in no position to make threats and promises right now” I said. He remained silent and just stared at me with fury all over his face. As I was still busy with the counselor, Christine walked in at that moment I didn’t know that she was coming back because I was suppo

Sarah looked concerned because she didn’t know where we were going and she was starting to feel insecure, in fact she didn’t trust me at the this point and she had every right.“Where are going?” she asked.“Will you just trust me for once” I replied.Sarah stopped and gave me an annoyed look.“Trust you?” she asked.I also stopped in silence then went back to her, we locked eyes.“I know I did you wrong and I know that you are here right now not because you want to but because I blackmailed you and that’s wrong in so many levels but trust me, I’m not the enemy here” I replied.Sarah just looked at me in silence as I continued to lead the way, she followed me all the way to the house without saying a word or anything, I kept on looking back

Johnny and Sophie were also there standing beside Christine waiting for me to arrive.I stopped the car “get in” I said.Christine threw the bags into the boot then the three of them jumped into the backseat. Christine glanced at Sarah who was sitting at the front seat and we exchanged looks, her eyes showed disappointment.“Hi” Christine greeted Sarah.“Hello” Sarah replied.It became awkward for a few minutes, Johnny and Sophie sat quietly beside Christine, not saying a word to Sarah. I remembered that Johnny actually had an issue that wasn’t yet fixed and he still looked angry and annoyed.“Johnny” I called him.Johnny didn’t bother to say a

    Early in the morning I rushed to go get food, at a restaurant that was nearby. I grabbed takeaways for everyone. This was the restaurant that Cindy and I ate in, the first time we hooked up. After a few minutes of waiting for food, I came back to the room I shared with Johnny and found him still sleeping, I left some of the food in the room then I grabbed the contracts and went to the room that the ladies shared. I knocked and Christine came and opened the door for me.“Morning” I greeted her.“Hey” Christine replied.“Can I come in?” I asked.“Yeah, what’s up?” Christine replied as she moved away from the door.I gave her the food then walked into the room, glancing at Sarah and Sophie who were in deep sleep.

    I arrived at the police station and parked the car across the street so that it could not be spotted. I took the laptop with me and I walked into the police station and immediately after I entered through the door of the station, some of the police officers started glancing at me, they looked at me like they recognized me from somewhere. I walked towards the receptionist who spotted me the minute I walked through those doors.“Hi” she greeted me.This was not the same receptionist I knew back then; I was expecting to see the eyebrow lady on that reception. I assumed that she must’ve been fired maybe, since she was a rude one. This new receptionist was much better than the eyebrow lady, she was decent and polite with a very beautiful smile.“Hi, I’m actually looking for Detective Jones” I replied.“He’s probably in his office” she replied.“Just go through those stairs, first door on your l

It was as if some kind of fear was instilled in them or something.“I know you’re wondering how that happened” he guessed my thoughts.“Yeah man, I mean you were all so afraid to actually leave that place, what happened?” I replied.“I guess we realized that we were actually oppressed and it was not Charlotte who was doing all that but her dad” he said.All the time I lived with Charlotte I have never seen her dad and now that the driver was mentioning him, it hit me as a shock.“Her dad?” I asked.“Yeah” he replied.“I tho

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.

    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

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

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
