Chapter 45
How It All happened
*Dung Town*
*Hospital*
Mr. Jenkins woke up with a slight headache, groaning in process as he tried opening his eyes. His eyes caught the sight of beings putting on white as they stare down at him.
“He has woken up” he heard one saying, as he turned to stare at the other people in the room. It became dawn on him that he is in somewhere strange, completely different from his room. He tried remembering what happened the previous night but it came with a bang of headache.
“Save you strength Mr. Jenkins” The doctor muttered, holding him down as he tried getting up. Noah had no choice than to relax, focusing his gaze on the young man and how he knew his name.
“Where am I” he managed to speak after a short silence
“You are in the hospital, you passed out and we were trying to revive you. Thank goodness you are ok. You need to rest as my nurses will attend to you” he smiled, nudging the nurses to do their jobs before leaving the ward
He wanted to ask him how he got to the hospital and who brought him there. Because he couldn’t remember what happened last night, the striking headache isn’t helping matters.
“Who brought me here….” He asked one of the nurses, who smiled at him in return.
“She claim to be your distant relative, she went to get you some food, she will be back soon” the nurse replied. He exhaled softly, not knowing whether to believe her or not. As long as he is alive, he doesn’t believe he has a distant relative, who will come to his aid at a dying time. Perhaps the savior was just a friend or Good Samaritan.
The nurses left afterward as he decide to take a nap for some time, waiting for the savior to come and explain what really went wrong with him.
~~
Elsa stared at room as she entered; locking it immediately she closed it. She exhale softly as her mind went back to how Mr. Jenkins looked when he was brought to her. He looked lifeless to her, but the guy assured her that he is still alive, just unconscious. She was beginning to doubt Brittany and her job. Why will she ask someone to bring a living dead man to her to take to the hospital, and leave afterward, lying about being his relative? She thought, remembering the scene of last night.
She was just coming in from work around 9pm in the night, well, that was her last job. She work as a waiter in a restaurant during the day time, and work as a nanny from noon till the time the parent of the children arrive from work. Until then, will she be able to close for the day. A close by neighbor helped her secure the job and she has been forever grateful. She had been coping with the two jobs, which has been giving her some money apart from the ones that Brittany sends to her. She can’t depend on Brittany alone so she had to work. She entered the room only to meet the shock of her life. A man dressed in black wearing a nose mask and face cap, was seated on her bed, pointing a gun at her. She felt her heart come into her throat, as she gulped down nothing.
She shivered in fear, thinking of the possible way she could escape the wrath of this stranger, but nothing was coming to her head. She seems stuck as her eyes went to the gun he was holding.
“Shhh” he muttered, signaling her to keep shut, which she obediently did.
“I’m not here to hurt you, just cooperate with me” he stated. She nodded. He brought out a recorder from his pocket, stretching his hand for her to take it. She seems confused at first, what does this guy wants from me, she thought. Is he here to rape me, or steal from me, why is he giving me a recorder? Nevertheless, she collected it, her hands shaking in process
“Play it” he mouthed in cold voice. She did as he asked her. Brittany’s voice came up as she gasps. She listened keenly to was she was saying, taking note of everything
“Hey Elsa…I know that by now my friend would have given you the tape to play, ok, this is what you are gonna do. I want you to take Mr. Jenkins to the hospital; he is currently unconscious and needs rapt attention in the hospital due to the large amount of drugs he was drugged with. You will tell them that you are a distant relative, stating that he came to your house here in dung town passing out immediately you ushered him in. You will only tell them that if at all they ask about it Mr. Jenkins is well known, so I believe the nurses or doctors will know him well.
Try to leave afterward without their knowledge, his family members will take it from there. By the time the news of his kidnap will get to them, you would have down your job. His hospital bills has been sent to your account, pay it and leave, thanks darling.” She muttered, and it ended. Elsa stared at the man in front of her, confused at the mention of Mr. Jenkins. She was so focus on the gun and the stranger, not noticing Mr. Jenkins body lying on the bed, covered with a blanket.
“You heard all that she said. We are moving now, I will drop you and this body at the hospital while you take it from there” he stated, getting up on his feet. She couldn’t see his face well, but a good look at him, he seems to be good looking. But why will a good looking guy like this be involve in such jobs, what happened to Mr. Jenkins by the way, how did they managed to get him, where are his guards? All this questions kept ringing in her mind, but she couldn’t voice out a word.
“Ok…..” she replied, assisting him in lifting Mr. Jenkins as they head out to his car parked at the back. Brittany has a lot of explanations to do, she thought inwardly.

Red Fox Clan
Brittany whine in pain as the clan doctor treat her wounds. A bullet passed through her arm, creating a severe wound. She didn’t plan for all this, but all she knows is that someone is making an attempt on her life. She hopes she get to know who the person is sooner, to avoid further complications. She is correctly in the hospital redressing her wound after its treatment last night. Macho was standing close by watching her silently. She noticed only his presence and someone else from the clan, but couldn’t find Brad.
“I hope he did the job perfectly last night” She prayed within, returning her gaze to Macho, who only continued to stare at her. She wondered what could be running through his mind. Was brad caught, or what really happened last night after she passed out. All these thoughts kept lingering in her mind, not until the doctor announced that he is done, leaving the ward afterward.
Macho walk up to her, sitting on the bed as she seats up
“How do you feel now” he asked.
“A bit better than yesterday, though my arm hurt” She replied, as silence took in, before he spoke
“So can you tell me what really happened last night? Who was that lady in the restroom, and why did she wanna kill you?” He asked. She sighed softly, not knowing the question to answer first. But to be sincere, she needs someone to answer those exact questions for her, because she is absolutely clueless.
“I don’t know who she is. She only barge into the restroom and picked up a fight with me. I tried asking her what she wants from me, but with the look of things, she was determined to kill me, so I had to fight her too”
“What happened to your mouthpiece, you should have alerted us, but I got no signal from you after you told me about the little distraction which will make you use the restroom” Macho bluff
“She destroyed it, she took me unaware…but I think she was sent by someone. I don’t know who that person is, but I will surely get to the root of it. If you hadn’t show up, she would have shot me, she was very strong when it comes to physical combat, and she drugged me in the process; that made me
Weak and gave her the upper hand”
“But she still shot you….I should have shot her twice or more when I barge in; never knew she will get up to make another shot” Macho stated, regretfully
“You and I know that that was a mistake, but thank God I’m safe” She replied. Macho nodded and left after a brief discussion.
Brittany stared at the wound in her arm, remembering the whole scene of the previous day, starting from the waitress who gave her the drink. She seems suspicious, being that she wasn’t putting on a tag. But Brittany couldn’t notice it in time, all these is now making scene to her,
“That waitress, I need to find her” She stated inwardly, boiling with rage.
~~~~~
The news of the sudden death of two prominent people in the country and the kidnap of Mr. Noah Jenkins, hit the town of Cape Town with a hard bang. The Hybrid collections where in disorder puzzled at the fat that a man with so much guard is found missing from an attacked party. They haven’t receive call from anyone claiming to hold him captive but the death of his guards captured by CCTV camera and how he was kidnapped, though not fully capture, is enough proof.
Sophia could be seen pacing round the room, full of rage, as she throws out whatever her hand touches. Ever since the news got to her, she hasn’t been herself. She screamed others, being bossy to even the guards and police men that came around.
“Hey Sophia, you need to calm down” Axel, who was in the room with others cooed, but she shunned him almost immediately.
“Don’t f**king tell me to calm down, those motherf**kers took my dad away, and you are telling me to calm down …huhnn” She yelled at him
“But the police are working on it, let them do their job and stop barking like dog” Nicki yelled back, already annoyed with her attitudes, as Aiden signaled her not to annoy Sophia the more.
“You are the dog Nicki, you are a f**king slut” Sophia blurted. Nicki became provoked, she tried replying in a harsh tone, but Theo beat her to it
“Hey…hey…babes…let’s not excavate this matter. The police will handle everything just as Nicki as said. Let’s stop this argument” he said in a calm voice. Nicki hissed loudly, stumping her feet out of the room. Sophia doesn’t seem bothered by that; she continued to pace round, rubbing her temple. The others sat quietly on the couch, watching her as she move round
“If my dad isn’t found before the end of 48 hours, then this f**king contest will be cancelled. It will be over.” She grunted, as they all furrowed their brows
“What do you mean by that Sophia, you can’t do that” Aiden snapped
“Try me”
“But..what if Mr. Jenkins is fine somewhere, and probably couldn’t reach you. He will be fine trust me” he continued
“You can’t tell me what to do idiot….don’t be stupid, he was kidnapped, the CCTV camera captured it”
“It was not fully captured, and whereas you don’t have the right to cancel such contest, it can only be postpone, not cancelled, your father won’t be happy if he suddenly comes back and find out about the mess you are about to create” he stated
“Shut the f**k up Aiden, if you don’t care about the asshole of a father you have, just know that I care about mine. I will do everything I can to end this contest. As his only heir, all rights belongs to me, so get it stick to your brain you this asshole girlfriend snatcher that I am not a fool” She sparked, shocking Aiden to his bones.
“Huhff…you really need deliverance Sophia, I’m out of here. Come on guys, let’s give her some space” Theo suggested, as he left with Aiden, leaving only Axel behind. He stared at Sophia giving her a questioning look. She hissed loudly, going to sit on her bed, bringing out her phone as she made to dial her father’s phone again. It was ringing, but no one was picking up.
“What do you mean by what you called my brother; Asshole girlfriend snatcher” he asked frowning, she chuckled a bit.
“Don’t tell me you don’t know about it, very soon you will” She smirked, going into the inner room, as he made his way to the door, still reminiscing on the word.

Clara barge the door as she made her way into the room, boiling with rage. She sighted Celine making out with a lady on the bed, they doesn’t seem disturbed by her sudden entrance. She had known Celine to be a lesb!an for a long time, that’s why she rarely keep her boyfriends. They had made out some time, and she also loves it. Celine is such a goo k**ser, and f**ks really good. She prefer woman doing the job for her than men, according to her, women are good cl!t suckers. They were both n@ked, with Celine spreading her legs wide for the lady to lick her hole.
“Oh my…gawd…you are so good…just so good’ She moan loudly, pressing the b!tch’s head closer to her, while she fondled with her b**bs.
“That idiot….she is just getting on my nerves. I can’t believe she escape the two plans we laid for her. She didn’t take the poisoned drink, and Macho succeeded in rescuing her…arghhh” Clara gritted, gaining attention from the duo.
“Relax girl, just take a cool piece…okay.. She is just a piece of cake, we will get her soon…..arhhhh” Celine moan in process. As she watches Clara takes off her clothes in anger. She chuckled at the expression of her friend“That face doesn’t suit you babe, come try this” She spreads her legs more. “This girl is f**king good, arhhh…I’m about to cum..” She giggled
Clara ignored them both, stripping to her last piece of clothing. She stepped into the bathroom, turning on the shower as the water came down on her body. It helps to ease her fury, calming her down a bit. She hated Brittany with passion, and all she could think of is taking her out of this earth, and just like Celine said, she will get her next time. She was lost in her thought, enjoying the cold water when she felt a hand on her bre@st, fondling it a bit. She exhale as it went to her cl!t, dipping a finger into her wet hole.
“I will take good care of you” The voice spoke; she knew it wasn’t Celine, but the other lady. She didn’t resist her, as she came forward, taking a mouthful of her b**bs into her mouth, as they began their hot shower section, with Celine coming in to join them.
Chapter 46The Unusual Gift<The Next Day>.Brittany headed to her room after leaving the clinic which was at first against her wish of the doctor, being that she has not fully recovered. But her wish was later granted, since she doesn’t feel like staying in her ward but prefers her room. She hates the smell of hospitals so much that it made her puke, and doesn’t feel like spending more seconds in it.“Make sure you come around so that we can redress your wounds” The doctor told her“Sure”Her arm was well bandaged, as she moved it gently with ease. She was about entering the room when she met Jane at the doorpost, speaking to someone who was in the room, perhaps Nora.She turned to face her after hearing some movement, with smile on her face
Chapter 47Crazy UrgeFlora got down from her car after zooming into Aiden’s compound. It’s just 4:30, exactly the time she was asked t come there as stated in the message. A guard came closer to her, welcoming her as she step down from the car. She sighted him and smiled, but her body did something crazy; it tingles with the urge of being touched by the young man. The guard was not bad looking, his abs seems so visible in the shirt he was wearing and he got killer looks. But she isn’t the type that falls for handsome men easily. This guy doesn’t match the twins’ look, but why does she feel like holding him, telling him to f**k her hard.“Ma’am” The guard called, staring at her. She came back to her sense and gave a fake smile“Oh…yes…”“You zoned out…ermm, this way…a maid will direct you to
Chapter 48 Apologizing To Him Flora left the building and went towards the pool, she saw him sitting on a bench close by, his head on his palms. She felt sorry for him, blaming herself for putting everyone in this mess. Why will she always be the one to create ugly scene. Right from when she was born she hasn’t really enjoyed the life she has; living in the slum was a mess not until she met Axel, who came as a savior. But she couldn’t give him back what he had given her, the life she has today is because of Axel, she felt like cursing herself but also thought of her mother. She is being someone’s puppet so as to protect her mum, but no one knows about this, and she just doesn’t how to get out of this dilemma. Axel noticed her presence; he doesn’t have to raise his head before recognizing her footsteps, her smell, and everything about her is just making him crazy. “What are you doing here” He asked coldly
Chapter 49Ariel’s POVI kept breathing hard as we do the morning exercise. If I say that I’m concentrating on this, then that will be a big lie. It’s been two days now after the fourth audition, and I haven’t heard anything from Aiden, but that isn’t really my concern. I have been damn worried about Axel; well I can’t say why I am for sure. But as the hours passes by, my thought just kept going towards his direction. I shouldn’t be worried about him, but here I am, getting drowns; worrying about someone who doesn’t think of me one bit. Tsk…such is life. I thought, but jerk back to reality on hearing my name. It was the female spectator“Ariel… you are leaving your lane” She yelled“Sorry ma’am” I replied her, not looking back. I can’t believe that I had already left my lane just thinking of a guy.&ldquo
Chapter 50 The Secret Video Tape Red Fox Clan Brad’s POV “How is your arm now?” Brad asked, placing soft k**ses on Brittany’s arm. They are currently in his room, enjoying their lovely moment. She rested her head properly on his chest, smiling at the way he treats her like a queen. Brad picked up the remote control from the side stool close by and changed the station of the Tv. It displays the past event of the Hybrid contest, showing the judges and those that were performing. “The black girl is really good. I love her stage management” Brad muttered, referring to Ariel who was busy singing on stage, as cameras capture her. He noticed that Brittany wasn’t paying attention to him, so he turned to look at her face “Don’t you like the station, or should I change it to…” “No no, it’s ok…. Just zoned out, don’t mind me” She smiled fai
Chapter 51(Getting the waitress)Elsa had managed to copy some files from Laura’s phone. Her messages, call logs and other necessary files. She was given a code by Brad, which she will use in getting all the information. Laura could be seen at the other end attending to customers; she was unaware of the fact that her phone wasn’t present in her pocket where she usually keeps it. The day’s work was hectic being that they had lots of customers to attend to, and didn’t give her access to operate her phone. Elsa was in the kitchen section this time, so she had the opportunity to do all that she was asked to without anyone’s notice. They had finished preparing enough food, so the chefs where resting now, only those who are taking others were working. After copying the whole details, she locked the phone and kept it somewhere close to where Laura’s bag is. On a second thought, she picked it up and placed it inside her bag to avoid her curiosity of how it got out.~~“Is this all you manag
Chapter 52(Payback)~The Next Day~“Hey sleepy head, it is morning already” Brittany yelled at Nora who was busy snoring on her bed. She yawned loudly and slum back on the bed but was followed with a hard spank from Brit.“What was that for” Nora yelp“Get up you dump bag and head to the bathroom now, we are needed at the square in ten minutes time, and you know the penalty of coming late” Brittany resorted, leaving the room. She had her plans in place and smiled to herself before leaving.Nora gasps on checking the time; she couldn’t believe that she slept for that long. Though she used to be a heavy sleeper, but doesn’t sleep for this long. What really happened today? She thought, running into the bathroom to freshen up.~~“Hey, didn’t see you at the club game last night, where were you” Jane
Chapter 53(Who is the Mole?)“Mia” Ariel gasp letting go of Aiden, who stood, puzzled. Fluid of tears could be seen in Mia’s eyes as she ran out immediately“Oh my God…I need to go after her…” Ariel muttered, but Aiden held her back“What are you doing, let go of my hand” She yelled“What’s going on, why was she in tears” he asked, but she yanked her hand of, tears already welling up in her eyes“I betrayed her, you can’t understand. I need to leave now” She snapped further. But he held her still“Shh….hey calm down, I know you are kinda hurt, or you might have hurt her in one way or the other that I don’t get, but don’t go after her now. Your quarrel might excavate. Give her time to cry out whatever is in her mind and later on, speak with her. I don’t want any of you to get your
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
