“I did not know about any of it. When I heard about what you had done I was confused and scared. I did not understand what could have driven you to do something like this. So I ran home to you. I thought you had been hurt or even worse, but when I found out you were alright I breathed a sigh of relief and allowed my fear to turn to anger. I had gotten so angry that it clouded my thinking. Why did you kill her, what made you do it.”“so I exploded at you after I came back to see you so calm and nonchalant about it. As if you did not know the crime you had committed. So I said all those things.”“You called the police,’’ I whispered angrily. The words hurt but my heart hurt more. I needed to hear his story. Part of me yelled that it was all lies. How could he pretend not to know about the killers he had hired to take my life? The warden had said it all and I fully believe her.“No.’’ his eyes opened wide as he protested. “ That was not me. I was furious when I found out the police were

"what are you doing here?" Joseph asked in awe. He still had that look of shock on his face. something was transpiring, something that I was not certain of. "You should not worry about that, but from now henceforth my niece is under my care." my uncle replied hotly. His words annoyed me greatly, how dare he just come into my life and try to assume control over me? I belonged to no one, no one at all.I wanted to say something about the matter but Joseph staggered and nearly fell over. I watched him with concern but he seemed to have gotten pale all of a sudden."Uncle you have no right to talk to Joseph like that uncle. Do you know he is?" Sarah fired back at my uncle. she crossed the room and stood between my uncle and Joseph. I had previously been sympathizing with my husband but the site of Sarah getting so worked up annoyed me greatly.I watched her with anger, my mind was stinking up a million ways to hurt her. "I am very much away of who he is?" Uncle Benjamin said calmly. H

“I watched you insult me, you forgot I was your uncle. I cared for you but this is how you repay me. Very sad my dear Sarah, have you become so materialistic that this is all you care about? Money?. I heard you had a fiance, what happened to him?” Uncle Benjamin asked.Sarah looked at my uncle as Ufvsge could not see him. She turned away from him and walked to the window. Uncle Benjamin shook his head sadly.“You have changed so much my child,” he said in a tired voice.“I'm sorry uncle.” Sarah turned to him with tears on her face. I was thoroughly shocked. What was going on here?“I did not mean to say such things, I was just trying to cover up for this wicked man.” Sarah turned to Joseph and gave him a look of absolute hate.“What?” Joseph nearly lost his mind. He stared at Sarah with shock written all over his face. His brows were raised and his lips parted.“You heard me right,” Sarah said disrespectfully. “Don't act like the victim now, not after everything you have done to me an

The sounds of her lewd moans filled the entire room. On another day I would have been bothered by what other patients would have thought but not today.“Joseph please don't. Please stop.” Sarah pleaded in between moans.“No” Joseph grunted in response.Was that the voice of my husband? He sounded like a completely different person. But still, why would he do that?I remembered the day of Marcus's departure, Joseph had attacked me for walking to my room in the skimpy nightdress he had gotten for me. So ironic, he had run off to a hotel less than a day later to sleep with the man's wife-to-be. I turned to look at my shameless husband. Joseph's face was extremely pale and for a second I thought he was going to pass out, but he didn't, he just stared at the phone. Uncle Benjamin turned to him with that angry expression only this tuneihe was a hundred times angrier. Sarah ended the video and turned to Uncle Benjamin. “I begged him not to, I pleaded with him, but he was like an animal.

My eyes opened slowly and I tried to focus on what I was seeing in front of me. Everything was so fuzzy and that crazy headache was still something that plagued me. I tried my best to understand my surroundings but I was still super disoriented. From what I could see, I was no longer in the hospital, we were moving in a car. There were two people seated in front of me, I could make out the outline of an elderly man and a woman. Sarah?I fell back into my confused sleep and was thrown into an abyss of endless nightmares. My mother, my father, Uncle Benjamin, Sarah, and Joseph all seem to be the new fuel for my nightmares.I awoke with cold sweat all over my body. I was lying on a strange king-sized bed in a strange luxurious room that I was not familiar with. Where was I? Think, think, think. The entire room was completely white. Whoever the interior designer was he must have lacked an imaginative mind. The curtains were white, my bedsheets were white even the little sofa at the side o

He cleared his throat and sat upright on the stool. This was going to be a long story, I was certain of it. “Well you obviously remember that I was once part of the main executives in the family's company. Although I had very little shares I was still treated with respect by everyone, and I am grateful for that.” He began. If you were so grateful for the respect you got, why did you leave? I wanted to ask this question so badly but my condition held me back. “You're probably wondering why I left the company, why I ran away from everyone even when I was treated so well by everyone.” He said, almost as if he could read my mind. He saw the look of shock on my face and chuckled. “It's not that hard to see what you're thinking. Your face gets all scrambled up.” He joked. That must be it then, I smiled back at him and he sat upright once again on the chair.“I was in charge of the company's external affairs with other sister companies. You know what I mean by sister companies. They we

“Yes, Felicity, your cousin Sarah is the child of the woman who broke my heart. I was not aware Sarah knew who I was, I thought she would think of me as a stranger but she knew the truth.” Uncle Benjamin said quietly. He looked at me with Sad eyes that bore the entire pain of his story. I wondered how he must have felt when he saw her at the hospital. “You do not know the pain that seared my soul. I have never felt that way in a long time, but seeing Sarah in front of me, the child of my wife's infidelity, hurt me so much.”This part was very sad but I knew the main tale did not end there. He had not disclosed the entire tale and I was waiting to hear the rest of the story.“But I deviate too much.” He said finally after a long pause. “I went back to Mr Dale and he loaned me some money. I went away for a long time and made good use of the money. When I returned, I returned as a billionaire. I came back to see my benefactor, to show him how much I have made over the years.” He paused

Pain seared through my entire body and I could not feel anything for a few seconds. Uncle Benjamin ran to my side and tried to bring me back up to my feet but the pain in my Head was too much and I could not bear standing up.“Ohh Felicity, I'm sorry.” My uncle ran to my side and pulled me back to my feet.“Ow..” I groaned. The word brought about another bout of pain, this time from my throat. Tears blinded Me for a moment.That bitch kicked the wheelchair away on purpose. I saw her do it, I was so angry that my aching body began to shake.“There, Felicity take it easy.” He said gently as he brought me to the wheelchair and I sat down on it gingerly.All that time Sarah had stood watching like someone who was in shock. I knew the act was not for me but she looked pretty damn convincing and it annoyed me even more. What was wrong with this woman?“Ohh my God Felicity, I'm so sorry.” She exclaimed, bringing her hands up to get her mouth. “It was an accident.” She ran to my side and trie

I hesitated, with my heart racing. I was aware I shouldn't get close to anyone in this new project let alone build attachment as I was willing to risk my life and put an end to this, but Iskander's sincerity was undeniable."Iskander," I called out with a whisper, my eyes searching his face. "You've already done so much for me. I don't know what I would have done without you."I stepped closer, my body drawn towards his like a magnet. I could feel the warmth radiating from him, the strength in his arms. The moment seemed to slow down, as the world around us began fading into the background."I know I shouldn't," I said, with my voice low, I was feeling things I couldn't explain. "but I can't fight this anymore."Iskander's hand cupped my face, his thumb brushing against my cheek.I leaned in and closed the distance between us with my lips finding his in a kiss that was both gentle and passionate. I could feel the surprise in his body, a momentary hesitation that quickly dissolved into

The bright and sunny sky with the fresh warm air greeted me as I stepped out of the plane, holding Austin tightly in my arms. My heart, still beating rapidly from the events that I had just experienced, my heartbeat began to slow down. I couldn't believe we had made it out alive, let alone escaped to a place of safety. Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Iskander guiding the babysitter towards the terminal. The sight of him, rugged and determined, filled me with a sense of relief and gratitude As I made my way through the airport, the sight of normalcy around me contrasted sharply with the chaos and danger I had faced back in Hawaii. Yet, even as the adrenaline began to subside, my mind was already fixating on one thing which was retribution."Enough," I muttered under my breath, a strong determination replacing the fear that had gripped me earlier. "I'm going to find out why Sarah is after me, and I'm going to end it."Austin's soft coo snapped me back to reality. I glanced down at his

The babysitter laughed with her bandaged arm at Austin. “He's always looking for one reason to cry,” she said. “No, he's just unhappy that his mother is crying, that's how he consoles her,” He said.We drove for hours, through the city and then out into the countryside. The babysitter was quiet, her eyes closed as she rested. I tried to stay alert with Iskander, scanning the landscape for any sign of danger. But the soldiers seemed confident that we were safe, and eventually, my nerves began to settle. As we drove further and further from the city, I started to relax. The soldiers were highly skilled, and I felt confident that they would keep us safe. I looked over at the babysitter, who was still sleeping peacefully. I felt a wave of gratitude wash over me. She was safe, and I was glad she survived, I didn't want her to be part of something she knew nothing about, and being the victim through death would make me hate myself.We pulled into a street and the soldiers led us through a

Iskander kept mute for a while, then he sighed. “All right, who is this soldier you seem to trust so much,” he said looking at me.“Soldier Bellion” I replied immediately. “You trust him? You just met him”. Iskander said looking like I said something wrong. “She is a female actually, But I address her by her third name since her first is Sarah.” I stopped to catch my breath. “Since Sarah is trying to kill me, we had to use another name” I added. “I see,” Iskander said slowly. Just then Soldier Bellion walked in, she reduced her pace as she stared at Iskander critically. “Is he your brother?” She asked as she stood between the both of us. “No no, he is not” I quickly responded. “I am so sorry,” Soldier Bellion said. “This is a first,” I said grinning. “First what?...” Soldier Bellion asked. “So you see the question usually goes ‘Is he your husband’ This is a first to be ‘Is he your brother?’ I explained softly to her. “I understand now” she nodded. “He is my bodyguard,” I told her. I

"I'm with some soldiers," I say, trying to keep my voice calm. "They're taking me somewhere safe.""Where are you?" Iskander asks again, his voice insistent. "I need to know where you are."I take a deep breath and tell him the location. I can hear him let out a sigh of relief. "I'm on my way," he says. "Just hold on."I nod, even though he can't see me. I'm just relieved that both of them were fine.The Soldiers guard me and Austin to their Barracks. They leave me with guards and a female soldier who attends to me. I could tell Austin was hungry. “Please Ma, can I get a spot to breastfeed my baby” I ask as Austin begins to whimper and stretch his arms towards my chest.“Surely there is, follow me,” she said with a smile. She walked me into a room that seemed like a dormitory. “You must be hungry, I'd get you something” she spoke with sympathy. “Oh no, it's fine I'm okay” I quickly replied not wanting to bother her. “You are a breastfeeding mother, I've been a mother too and if your

My heart suddenly went cold as tears streamed through my eyes. I heard Iskanders Car explode over the phone. For some reason, my eardrums seemed to be functioning. I looked down at Austin, whose blanket was adjusted for him to breathe. My son seemed to understand the situation as he didn't try to play or grab anything. He just fell asleep. I wanted to break down and curse out loud, why me? Why do I always have to be on the run?Suddenly I spot five cars from the side window. I needed no soothsayer, to let me know they were after me. My engine roared as I increased my speed and sped off, taking off one arm regularly to secure Austin.The trees and houses by the road almost felt like I was in the car race which I played as a kid. The wind was whizzing by as I raced down the road. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my breath coming in gasps. I've never driven so fast in my life, but I know I have to get away from the men who are after me. I can see them in the rearview mirror,

The chef chuckled “You have such a bubbly kid, try this one” she said handing me another. It was awesome when it melted in my mouth, It wasn't ice cream but it was awesome. Iskander and the babysitter shook their heads in satisfaction. “Thank you so much for this” Iskander said as we rounded up and our stomachs filled to the brim.Austin had a swell time as he slowly fell asleep. “I'll see you all tomorrow, do have a good night's rest,” Iskander said as he left for his room. “Madam, should I take him for a bath” The babysitter asked as she tried to carry Austin. “No, don't worry I want to be with him, I'd bathe him myself” I replied as I waved her to her room.Bathing Austin was easy, he was barely awake except when the water touched his skin and he quickly slept off from there.I took my bathe and secured Austin with a pillow, kissing his forehead before my head hit the bed.Sarah strutted about the mansion “Why are these men finding it difficult to pick up a call !” she yelled to th

“My son is a clingy young man, moreover the baby supplies here are a bit harsh on his skin. We'd have to get new ones tomorrow”. I replied. “Aww, so that's what he was trying to tell us,” the babysitter said moving closer to him and rubbing his cheeks. Austin chuckled like one who was not about to bring down the roof with his wailing a few hours earlier. Iskander yawned loudly, Austin seemed to watch him as he even chuckled more. “Now you are laughing at me?” Iskander asked as he dragged his foot. Austin seemed to be In good spirits for the evening as he kept smiling and wouldn't let anyone, not even the babysitter touch him.“Guess what guys,” Iskander asked grinning. “You got a secret phone for Austin?” The babysitter responded. “Haha, that will be crazy,” I said laughing. Iskander looked stunned “That's some guess,” he said “but it's not correct” he added. “Fill us in already, I'm bored,” I said. “You can't be bored In Hawaii,” Iskander said. “Yeah I thought so until the stranges

The boy looked at them nervously. "What do you want?" he asked."We're looking for information," the other henchman said. "We're willing to pay for it." He pulled out a wad of cash from his pocket and held it out. "We need to know the room number of one of the guests." The bellboy's eyes widened at the sight of the money, he gasped as He glanced around, checking around to see if anyone was in sight. Then he took the cash and shoved it into his pocket. "What's the room number?" he asked, his voice low.“That's the information we need, we have the picture of the person” one of the henchmen replied. The boy's expression turned sour. "I don't know if I can do this," he said, looking confused. "I could get into huge trouble."But then the money was too much and way beyond his yearly salary he thought and he agreed to help. He led them to a secluded part of the hotel, where they planned on how to receive the information.Felicity's pov Back in the hotel room, I got hungry and quickly orde
