View MoreIn a small town somewhere in Australia, Clarisse walked down the snow-covered street vigilantly, dressed in heavy padded jackets with a scarf covering her face tightly. She had been hiding here since she escaped the country and had been listening to the news of Josh and Lana in the country.Hearing of Josh’s death, she was more than excited, she was even glad that she had left him at the time she did, if not, only God knows what would have happened to her now, as for Lana that delusional bitch, hehe. Serves her right. She rang the bell of her home, a small apartment where she lived with her boyfriend who she had found in her first week in this town. He was handsome and romantic and he just made her happy. She rang the bell continuously wondering why he was not opening the door. She walked to the one place where they kept the spare house key, under a stone slab by the door but the key wasn’t there. She tried calling him but his phone was unreachable, so she knew she had no choice but
It was obvious that Josh had finally lost his mind and was trying to get everyone killed. Lana looked around from her hiding place in search of Simon. In this situation, if she could escape with Simon, it would be great. She thought, forgetting that she was wanted by the law. Just as she saw him and wanted to crawl to his side, Josh also saw her, this woman owed him a blood debt, and she dared ruin his plan. He thought with anger as he saw many of his men fall to the ground dead, he also wanted her dead.He aimed for her head. At that moment Lana felt a sense of crisis, looked behind her, and saw him pointing the gun at her. Her eyes widened in panic. Josh smiled at her, he hoped she would regret ever talking down on him.“No!” Lana screamed before the gun was shot and she was silenced forever, a bullet hole in her head. Even until her death, she was looking towards Simon with longing, failing to realize he was not the perfect man she envisioned. He was a man with flaws just like ev
Minutes before the gunshot, Simon walked into the building flagged by Josh’s men, unaware that they had been followed by Asher and that the police were not far behind. The hideout was an abandoned food processing factory in an area marked for demotion in town, no one could have guessed that criminals were hiding in such an unstable environment. He followed the men into the not-so-tidy office that must have been the director’s when the factory was still functioning and saw Josh who he hadn’t seen in the past three weeks seated there with a smirk on his face.“Hello cousin, happy to see me?” Josh, who was resting back in the chair, his arms spread out and a happy smirk plastered on his face asked.Simon didn’t care about him or the men surrounding him, he didn’t even care if Josh wouldn’t allow him to leave this place alive, all he wanted to know was if Alvira was safe and sound.“I have what you want,” Simon said seriously as he placed the black box on the creaking table before lookin
Alvira felt herself sink to the bottom of the transparent tank the moment she landed in, only then did she notice that the rope tied around her waist was inlaid with sandbags to keep her at the bottom and made swimming to the surface hard.She tried to swim upward but it felt as if she was only expending her energy wastefully, while Lana laughed at her from without.Lana knocked on the wall of the tank, drawing Alvira’s attention to herself, before going to pick up a chalk and a board and wrote, “Didn’t you say you would rather die than let my plans work? What then are you struggling to survive for? If you die, Simon might just be free from me forever.” She wrote with a smile and the struggling Alvira paused.It was true. If she survived, what was she surviving for? Wasn’t it for Lana to keep on playing with her, hurting Simon and causing him to do things that he shouldn’t do? What was she living for if she was nothing but a weakness to the man she loved? She thought and suddenly fel
Detective Peter frowned uneasily as he stared at the location where the van had been seen, which was marked on the GPS map. It was about an hour ride away from the St. Joseph hospital and out of town, he didn’t understand why these men would come to a damaged car garage with Alvira.There was no hidden place to keep her there, so why bring her? Was some kind of exchange supposed to go on there? Why did he feel something was off? He was wondering when he got Asher’s call, when he heard Asher’s question he felt even more flustered and confused, was there something he was missing? He picked up his phone and called Kalvin.“Hello? Are you with Simon?”“Yes sir, he had an emergency, so I went to get the doctor for him,” Kalvin told him.“Okay,” That’s understandable, “But your Lane is with him right?”“...No sir, he went to get Mr. Simon something to eat.”“So you mean no one is with Simon at the moment?”“We…ll, yes sir…”“What!” Peter shouted and the detectives in the same car as him lo
“Josh! Josh!” Jared walked into the slightly messy but old office with anger just as Josh got off the phone with Simon. “Are you messing with me right now? Why didn’t you tell me when you got Alvira? It’s been five hours.”Josh's eyes flashed with impatience before he turned to Jared with a smile, “What are you so worked up about? I obviously tried to call you but the call was not going through.” Josh said as he placed another call.“Hello? It’s me. I need a huge diversion. One big enough to get those detectives out of the hospital.”Jared's face darkened when he heard the content of the call, “You are planning to send Simon over?”Josh glanced at him but didn’t respond immediately, he ended his call before turning to him, “Calm down Jared, we are all partners now. The least you can do is trust me.”“Trust you? You didn’t even call me over when you got her and now Simon is coming here. How can I trust you when I don’t know what exactly you are planning?” Jared asked unhappily. “If I
It’s been a week since Simon was shot and life became more peaceful than anyone expected. Josh and Lana disappeared from the eyes of the public and the police investigation was hitting a dead end everywhere. Their whereabouts could not be found and it was obvious that some powerful people were helping them, but those helping them could not be discovered either.For Alvira life was pretty much good, she and Simon were reconciled and they were even more attached than they used to be in the past. She guessed that when people go through challenges together, their feelings for each other get deeply rooted. Simon was still forcefully hospitalized, as his hand was still in the cast, and the new physiotherapist didn’t trust him to be careful with his leg even though it was fine. As much as she wanted to stay with him at the hospital, she also needed to rush back to school to finish her exams.She walked out of a high-end restaurant, with takeout bags in her hand followed by the detectives th
[A shootout occurred at a coffee shop down lane 23 today, Mr. Simon Walker who was present at the sight of the shootout was injured and has been hospitalized, as at the time this report was made, his present condition is still unknown. The police, during their investigation however discovered that Joshua Stone, a highly wanted criminal, working hand-in-hand with a woman called Lana Jones, daughter of the millionaire, Mr. George Jones was the culprit in yesterday’s shootout. As a result, these two suspects are declared wanted….]The TV was switched off before the reporter could finish her report and Lana turned to Josh angrily, “What the hell do you think you are doing?! You. Shot. Simon? Why did you shoot Simon?! The one you were supposed to shoot was Alvira! That was the plan! That was why I got you out of jail?!”“Stop freaking out! You were there, weren’t you? He took the bullet for her, couldn’t you see that? He took it for her before my man could shoot her down.”“That’s a lie!
The next time Simon opened his eyes, he was in his private ward at St Joseph Hospital. He looked around confused, tried to sit up, and was immediately helped by Sarah who had arrived at one point in time.“Grandma? What are you doing here?”“Silly child, what do you mean what am I doing here? I am your family.”“Yes.., yes, I know. I am sorry.” Simon looked around the room, “Alvira…, where is she?”“She’s fine. She’s giving her statement to the police as we speak and your grandpa went with her, I must say, you did a good job this time. Alvira finally forgave you.” Sarah teased as she nodded towards his casted hand which was hung to his neck.Simon followed her line of sight and sighed helplessly. His grandma was always like this, trying to cheer a patient with the weirdest joke. “Grandma, I didn’t wish to get shot at.”“But it was still a good thing in disguise, wasn't it?” She winked and smiled.The door to the ward opened and Alvira walked in, seeing Simon awake in bed she rushed to
Three years ago....."Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome with me to the stage the new CEO of Viva group of companies, Simon Walker!" the master of ceremony announced and the crowd busted into an applauding as the brightly smiling Simon stood up from his seat in the front row where he sat with his most immediate family, his grandparent.His black tuxedo complemented the pure black shiny shoes that he wore, his midnight black hair was slicked back and his dimples caused the hearts of the single ladies at the party to swoon.He walked up the small flight of stairs to the stage and shook hands with the announcer before turning to the crowd to give his first speech as the CEO, the light from the chandeliers that stood above him sparkled down making his tall and muscular build appear more enticing to the ladies, they all admired his looks not hearing a single word of the speech he gave."..... I hope together we can move the Viva group of companies to a successful future." He finished an
