Chapter 69(Welcome to the Band)“Hey…are you set” Jane asked as Cassandra went to join them where they assembled. They are to be addressed by Macho who will give them their last instruction before they commence on their mission.“Yes….where is Brittany” she asked“Speak of the devil….and she is here” Jane grinned on seeing Brittany walking towards them. She was dressed in a black Kaki, with her hair rapped in a bun, leaving some strands to fall on her face. She wore dark sunshades, giving her killer looks.“What’s up girls?”“Nothing is up pretty, come on we are going on a mission, and not some parade dearie, you look dashing in this outfit sis” Jane hailed. Brittany smirk“Hi Brittany” Cassie greeted as Brittany nodded to her greeting. She isn’t really getting well with Cassandra just like the way Jane was free with her. “Where is Macho…he should be here by now” Brittany stated“Yea…” Jane replied“I think he is meeting with the top clan me
Chapter 70(Freaky Jealousy)Red Fox Clan~“Just like I have explained to you all, this mission is gonna be tough, more than the other ones we had been going on. But I believe that we are all prepared and will succeed. We are visiting the safe warehouse of a senior agent in the military. And trust me, this guy is bad and has lots of tough gangs keeping his warehouse safe. He got strength, he got power and lots of bodyguards, but he ain’t got sense.He is a greedy freak, wants everything for himself; he killed one of our men and took some of his properties, but we are gonna go take everything from him, including his own. I want you all to remain alert and follow the instructions given to you by your commander. I will lead on group, dragon will lead one, while scorpion will lead the other.” Macho shouted on top of his voice, so as for them to hear him well. They are about going on their mission, and are twenty in numbers, but only the good ones where chosen.“What about this Cassandra;
Chapter 71(Friends)“Your hands in the air…if you make one move, I will burst your brains out” The voice stated, as she slowly raised her hands up. The person was behind her and it was a female’s voice….Brittany tried to turn to see who the enemy is but the voice made her stop.“I said if you f**king make a move, I will rip your head off” She yelled“Ok, ok..I’m still, what do you want from me” Brittany resorted. The lady spoke into her mouthpieces“I got one boss, will be heading to the safe room now” She stated. Brittany squinted, she thought Macho will be in the safe room now, what does this lady mean by, we will be heading to the safe room now or were they going to the wrong direction.“Move…” she yelled“I’m f**cking moving” Brittany snorted; as she heard her cocking her gun, sh
Chapter 72(We Are Not Couples)Ariel’s POVI was just preparing to leave for the last rehearsal when Josephine came to tell me about having a visitor. I quickly dressed up, going downstairs to meet the so called visitor, though I wasn’t expecting anyone, perhaps Mia decided to stop by, I thought. On getting to the living room, I met a young lady of about twenty or more. She was patiently sitting on the couch; a glass with a pack of juice was placed in front of her, perhaps Josephine offered her the drink.She seated up on seeing me, as I stared at her with a questioning look, I don’t think I know her from anywhere.“Good morning ma” She greeted with a smile. I was a bit taken aback, people don’t refer to me as Ma, and it sounds strange at first in my ear. I’m sure I will get use to it with time; these are what one gets on becoming a celebrity. I also compo
Chapter 73The Crown Contest“Why are you looking at me that way” Sophia asked Axel, as he watches the makeup artist fix her face. No doubt, Sophia is also beautiful, but there is nothing in this wide world that will make him fall for her. She still look like the b!tch she is. He sometimes wonders if she is the real daughter of Mr. Jenkins..“Is it a sin to stare?” he returned a question, she smiled.“Well it’s not..are you scared that I will win the crown again” She grinned, looking at him through the mirror. He was already dressed in a navy blue tuxedo with diamond stripes. He had his hair jelled to the back giving him a killer look. Mind you, he is back to his natural hair color which is deep black. Perhaps he is tired of dying it into different colours or just wanna look normal for the main time. The crown contest is just in few minutes time, as they all will mount the stage.
Chapter 74 (She won the Crown) Ariel’s POV “You will pay for this Ariel, I will make sure I deal with you” I heard her muttered before leaving the restroom completely. Well, that’s her business, it’s so good to be among people that can put her in her place, so if she thinks because she is the daughter of one of the richest billionaires, thinking she will intimidate me with the power she has, then she is joking. I was being afraid of her when I came newly, I couldn’t do anything to her when she tried to bully me then in school. But right now, things are different. Even if I’m just new in the band, I won’t bow to her being the leader, even if she wins this year’s crown contest. F**k you Sophia, you don’t deserve that position, I scoff. “Are you going home now ma’am, or you want me to take you somewhere else” Victor asked. I sigh briefly thinking about what he just asked. Do I really wanna go hom
Chapter 75 (You will pay with your life) Hybrid Musicals “Dad….dad…” Sophia called with rage as she barged into her father’s office. Mr. Noah Jenkins who had been really busy checking out some files and also viewing the live concert while he work furrowed his brows at his daughter’s manner less entry. “Sophia…what’s all this..have you lost your manners, why will you barge in that way, knowing that I will be busy” He reprimanded “F**k the manners, I ain’t got time for your scolding dad…I need answers” She snorted. Noah bent his head in shame. She didn’t even consider the fact that he has a visitor sitting in front of him who watches the little father and daughter drama. She should have at least asked him to excuse her and have a talk privately, but he knows Sophia, she will be bent on getting what she wants. “What is it this time?” he asked “Why w
Chapter 76(The Last Date)Two weeks later“Where are you taking me to?” Ariel asked Aiden as they drove along the highway. They are through with their exams, and Aiden decided to fulfill the last surprise he has for her. They had been going on some friendly dates with Mia, Jack, Axel and Jeffery, the guy that took the third runner up in the contest.The exam had been damn hectic and they just had to chill out together before going back to their various vacations. Ariel on the other hand will be going with Axel for a live concert the next day, so today is just the last free day she has to spend with Aiden before she leaves.“Just be patient, we will get there soon” he assured her. She seems excited to see what he has for her this time. She will just have to be patient like he had said.The journey didn’t last long as they arrive their destination. They got
CHAPTER 93 (BLACK OUT)Police Headquarters~~ “Start talking” Noah muttered as he sat opposite Axel. He just arrived as he decided to know what move the police are taking“Erm..i’m sorry Mr. Jenkins” Axel stated He scoffed“You are sorry…you left for good three weeks, without allowing anyone reach you and all you can say is sorry..what has gotten over you this kid” He snapped. Axel’s head was bowed as he continue to plead“Fine…now tell me, how was she kidnapped and what are they doing about it.” He asked referring to the police“We had an argument, and erm…she left in tears without allowing anyone to go with her. We never knew she had left until her message came into my phone seeking for help in an unknown location”“We?”“Yes..I was with Aiden”“Fine go on…”“We watched the footage of how she left my house into the woods; the live cameras captured the faces of those men who kidnapped her. They were four and a lady. Their records are being worked on; they will be tracked before the
Chapter 89(Where is mum?)Africa~~Ariel’s POVI was so excited to breath in the fresh air, as we came down from the plane. Axel had fulfilled his promised of bringing me here to see mum, and I can’t tell how happy I am. It’s been months since I left home; coming back here is more like a relief. They are my people, the culture is perfect, different for the western culture, but I still love it even if it seems attic.We lodge in a hotel to get enough rest before proceeding to the slum where mum resides, or let’s say my former home. Axel has been himself this few days, none of us talked more on what happened the other day, but I think I’m cool not speaking about it, it’s better that way.“What route should I take” Axel muttered from the wheels. We had rented a car for the main time, before leaving.
Chapter 88(Confused Feelings)Aiden’s POV“Gosh..I messed up big time..I shouldn’t have done it, but my urge was irresistible” I cursed softy, remembering last night scene. I almost had my way with her; if grannie Naomi’s voice hadn’t ring out behind the door, then it would have been a different case. She had actually been looking for Josephine and decided to come tell me about her getting missing suddenly, not knowing she was in with him. We flipped of each other, as Josephine made for the door.She managed to convince Grannie that she was only checking on me, being that I was depressed and getting myself drown in drinks I was still a bit tipsy though, but was conscious of what was happening around me. Grannie Naomi scolds me for some time, warning me not to go near hot liquors again. And that was all I could remember before drifting into a long sleep. I
Chapter 87(I want you)Sophia’s POV“I can’t believe dad will decide to do this to me..it’s wrong” I scoff, bringing out a pack of cigarette from my drawer. Yea, I smoke, but it’s still a secret to everyone, because I know how to keep it low. I lighted a stick taking a hard drag as my phone rings“Hello” I muttered with a gruff voice as the caller’s voice came up“Hello ma’am”“Any news on where they are?” I asked, puffing out balls of smoke“Not yet ma’am…but we traced them to Texas..it’s won’t be long before we get hold of her”“That’s a bit of good news, but I want more…I’m giving you two weeks to get me her head…and if you fail, consider your head rolli
Chapter 86(Heart Breaks)“Peggy” she whispered, gawking at her“It’s me Gina…come on let us in” Miss Peggy stated, with a wide smile, as Gina engage her in a tight hug“Oh My gawd…is this a dream..I mean..I had thought all hope is lost since the day you left with Ariel, not until I saw the videos…oh gosh…you are welcome..come in…Hi” She greeted Scarlet with a soft smile while scarlet only nodded, smiling briefly.“You can also come in Kabria..” Gina beckoned as Kabria shrug“I don’t wanna pry into your discussion, I will just wait outside” she stated and left. Gina sighed“So what can I offer you both…gosh..I’m sorry..there isn’t any drink at home for now…perhaps water will do first while I go down the street to get you some drinks&rdqu
Chapter 85(Punishment)AFRICA.“Hmm…it’s so good to be home..just take a look at how fresh the air smells” Miss Peggy breathed in as she and Scarlet made their way to Ariel’s former house.“Yuck…this place stinks…” Scarlet grimace, as she frowns“It’s a slum dummy, you won’t expect everywhere to be pleasant..will you?”“I still prefer my country’s slum…this place is more like a dump” Scarlet stated“I think you have forgotten that this is still my country, and I won’t take that insult from you Scarlet.There are other places that are safe and nice..don’t judge a book by its cover “ Miss Peggy muttered sternly. Scarlet rolled her eyes.“Are we there already” Scarlet asked with a stressed
Chapter 84(Curiosity)Cottage~~ Ariel’s POVI woke up yawing loudly as I stretch my bones; it made cracking sounds as I pull the blanket off my body. I noticed feeble sun rays invading the room through the window. Gosh…It’s morning already….nope it’s not morning..it’s already noon, I shriek jumping out of bed after glancing at the wall clock.“Did I really sleep for that long? And where is Axel?” I asked no one in particular.“You won’t be expecting him to be beside you when you wake up duh…” My subconscious replied as I rolled my eyes. My stomach made annoying noises which means that it needed to be fed. I walk sluggishly to the bathroom; well Axel actually showed it to me yesterday. I quickly freshen up; pulled out a cloth from my box and wore it.I made my way out, looking fresh after a warm bath as I head down the short steps that lead to the living room. Axel is actually not in his room, and I’m beginning to wonder if he hasn’t left me alone here, not until a sweet smell waft t
Chapter 83(See You In Court)Texas City~~Axel’s POV.I turned off the ignition, just after parking in front of a cottage. The journey was smooth being that Ariel decided to fall asleep; she has been crying silently before falling asleep. Right now, we are miles away from Cape Town; in the outskirt of Texas City, where the sea, that links to another country is.I own the little cottage that stood few meters away from the sea, in the middle of the shore. This place used to be my secret hide out whenever I wanna be away from everyone. I come here alone, and not even a soul knows that I own here, well, except for the care taker whom I put in charge of cleaning the place. I had called him about my coming while we were still on highway.Ariel mumbled inaudible words in her sleep as I turn t
Chapter 82(No Choice)Ariel’s POV.I just tried mum’s number again but it was still giving the same response; not reachable. I don’t know how long I will have to wait for all this to be settled, because I’m really missing mum right now. I’m just waiting for the time I will be able to travel on my own; I won’t hesitate to grab the opportunity. Africa will be the first place in my mind.I sigh for the umpteen time, dropping my phone on the side stool as I made to have a quick nap. But my rest was cut short when Axel barge into the room, looking a bit enrage. Well, his facial expression showed that he is either angry, or perhaps had cried to have make his face look red.“Get your bags, we are leaving” he muttered coldly, going to pick up some of his clothes in the wardrobe as he stuff it into his box. I couldn’t process what he meant at first“W-What…but why…we just got here…” I shuttered. He heaves a sigh“Yes…but we are leaving now..”“Will you please state your reasons” I asked. I c
