Brett couldn’t stop thinking of the message he received on the dinner night. Though it’s been five days since he received that message, he couldn’t sleep a wink. Naya suspected something was wrong with him due to how disturbed he looked, but he couldn’t disclose anything to her. He suspected she might get worried unnecessarily and that was nothing he wanted at that moment.

Unable to forget the creepy chills it gave, he got out of the bar where he hung out with friends and grabbed hold of his car keys.

“Where are you off to?” One of them asked, wondering what’s wrong.

“I have something to handle,” Brett told him sharply before heading out. He got into his car and drove off towards the police station. He couldn’t keep this to himself anymore. He had to tell someone. He really needed to.

“We are still trying to find your ex-wife,” the inspector told him as soon as he walked into the office. “You need to give us time to do our jobs. You aren’t helping by calling us every two days.”

    Naya gazed at both Hailey and Ryan unsure of what the principal wanted her to do with the information she had just given. “You need to caution, Hailey, Mrs Naya,” the principal went. “I know she isn’t as rude and noisy as before, but she should at least stop ruining the peace of the class. How can she run around, climbing over her classmates desk like that? And this knucklehead had to follow her as if he had nothing else to do with his time.” “We were just playing,” Hailey defended herself. “I promise that this isn’t as serious as you think.”“Do not speak when I am speaking!” The principal lashed at her. Hailey rolled her eyes and folded her arms. “We are sorry for what we did, ma’am,” Ryan apologized on their behalf. “Why are you apologizing?” Hailey asked with surprise. “We have done nothing wrong.” “Does it matter?” Ryan whispered to her. “We need to get out of here soon. If we don’t apologize and leave this place, she is gonna put us in detention. How are we gonna attend the

    Naya arrived home as quickly as she could with her heart banging against her chest. Brett was home too. He was seated on the couch, waiting patiently for her. As soon as she walked in, he flung his arm around her and hugged her very tightly.“I almost thought I was going to die,” he said with a broken tone. Naya broke the hug and cupped his face in her arms. “Look, I am here for you, okay?” She reminded him. “Just tell me what is going on.” “Take a look at this message,” he pulled out his phone and opened the message for her to see it. As soon as she saw it, she was dumbstruck and her face turned pale. The message goes as thus “It will happen one day when you didn’t expect. A bullet will be shot into someone’s skull and you won’t know who.” Naya read the message over and over again trying to be sure she read right. Her hands were literally trembling in fright. “Who…who sent this?” She managed to ask. “Must…must it be…. must it be…” She could barely complete her sentence.“I do

    Hailey couldn’t imagine she would have that much fun in her teen years. She’d already imagined her life as a sad teenager, probably mumbling over the wrongs Lovelyn had done to get. There was something deep that Ryan told her that day which she would never forget. “You do not have to remain a victim. You can build yourself from being a victim,” he said. These words replayed in her mind repeatedly and she knew she would never forget them. When they arrived before her home later that evening, Hailey offered Ryan an appreciative hug. “You made my day today,” she thanked him. “Thank you so much.”“You made my day too,” he smiled. “Thank you for hanging out with me as a true friend.”“Of course!” Hailey said sharply. “No one knows if we will get this opportunity again. I will be leaving next week so…” Ryan’s facial expression turned sad. “About that,” he began. “Even though you have been a pain in the neck, you are still an amazing friend. I will miss you when you leave.”“Same with me

    “Could you stop me at Ryan Gabby’s home for a few minutes?” Hailey asked her personal driver who looked displeased by that. “Sorry, Hailey. Your mum had specifically asked us not to drop you anywhere but home,” he told her. “It’s fine,” Hailey rolled her eyes. “I understand that you want to keep your job and all that. But could you let me give them this box of cookies at least.” She showed him the box of cookies that she made for Ryan’s family. “You are making me break rules and you know how much I hate breaking rules,” The driver looked mad as he diverted from their usual direction and went to Ryan’s place. “Thank you so much,” she appreciated, “You can tell Mrs Naya if you are in the mood to gossip. I do not care.”Frank’s experience had thought her a very big lesson. It was stupid to trust such loyal workers with secrets like that. Especially secrets that are against their masters. There is no doubt that they will report the secret to maintain this thing called loyalty.“I won’

    Hailey was confused by the sight of Frank. She could swear that his sight was the last thing she had expected to see that day. Frank wasn’t alone. The passenger door of the car opened up and Lovelyn walked out wearing a heavy jacket and sunglasses. Hailey rolled her eyes in anger. “What’s this? This woman again,” she thought to herself with a frown. “She is the criminal, right?” The driver asked her as he dialed an emergency number. “Yes, unfortunately,” Hailey said with disappointment. Lovelyn walked to the driver’s window and knocked on window glass. No one told the driver that it was an indication for him to wind down. He winded down and watched her look in and stare at Hailey. “Can I speak to Hailey for a few minutes?” She asked with a cold stare and showed the gun in his pocket. The driver looked very nervous. He sharply nodded and opened the door for Hailey to step out. Hailey did, trying to avoid trouble. “Why are you doing this?” Wendy asked Lovelyn in disappointment. “Yo

She was very horny that day and all she needed was for Brett to hold her close and grab her tighyBrett was so focused on his laptop to even pay attention to her. “Would you really choose work over me?” Naya frowned sulking like a child. “I am sorry,” Brett apologized, pecking her on the lips. “I just have to complete this job application and send it tonight. I hope they accept me for this job in Germany.” Naya smiled and leaned against his shoulders. “My love, they will,” she said in smiles. “Do you not trust your skills?” Brett laughed. “My skills are amazing. They are 100%. What I do not trust is the company. What if they do not give me this job? I worked so hard to get my CV and the connections who helped me with this.” Naya nodded, caressing his arm. “I love how hard you work. It makes you look hot,” she smiled, as she gazed into his laptop. “Of course, that’s why you

    Ryan ate his meal weakly. He unfortunately missed school for 5 days and the doctor thought it wasn’t a good idea for him to go back for a while. “Rest,” the doctor advised him. “Get your strength back first. Let us watch you and know what our next move will be.” Ryan hadn’t let his pain define him, so despite whatever he faced, he joked with his grandparents and had fun with his mother. The following week, his mother had brought in Hailey’s cookie box, ready to store some old grains in it. “Did Hailey give you that?” He asked intuitively. “He wasn’t sure of why he thought of Hailey, but that was the most likely thing. “Yes dear,” his mother nodded. “Hailey brought this for our family. She even wrote a cute apology letter.” Ryan smiled. “I knew she was going to apologize.” He was silent for a while before something suddenly occurred to him. “I hope you didn’t tell her that I was sick.” Mrs Gabby swallowed a mouthful of saliva. She definitely did since Hailey was worried for him

    Naya sat down at the dining area with Mrs Gabby as they waited for children to speak to each other. The house was silent that day and a lot of things were going on outside that they couldn’t witness. Mrs Gabby got Naya a mug of coffee and offered it to her. She brought her a kettle of milk to add if need be.Naya thanked her and took a sip of it. The taste was so good. “Is this Irish?” She asked intuitively.“It is,” Mrs Gabby answered sharply. “How did you know that?”“My father use to make Irish coffee back in the days. The taste always get me and my mother flabbergasted. We are like ‘What’s this divine drink that fell from heaven.’ My love for it then was something I couldn’t compare with any other. Me and my tea? O! Boy!” “Children will always have the purest form of love,” Mrs Gabby said with a smile. Naya nodded.“That’s true. When it came to friendships, I never had Hailey’s kind of friendship growing up,” Naya admitted. “My friendships have always been short lived. It

    Brett sat in the sitting room feeling uncomfortable by the silence of the house. But his wife made her choice, he had to accept it. Hailey came by that morning, giving him a stone look. She silently helped her mum in carrying her things even though she knew in her mind that she had a lot to say. “Will you be able to care for the children by yourself?” Hailey asked her mum as she walked her to the car.“I will be fine, my love,” Naya laughed. I am more gallant than you think.” “I don’t think this is fair on dad’s part?” Hailey gazed back at Brett who watched from the door. “It was mutual agreement between me and your father. We agreed that I leave this nonsense…” “No! It was your choice,” Brett defended. “I don't know why you cannot trust me on this. I have tried so hard to comply with you. I have tried hard to explain all this to you…” “Enough daddy!” Hailey lashed, unable to control her temper anymore. “Just stop! You aren’t helping this matter.”“You ought to be supporting me h

    Herald made up his mind to lead Brett. He wasn’t sure what sort of fool Brett was, or why Brett would trust him. But it wasn’t his own business anymore. He would throw Brett off and he would do it in such a way that the guy would never notice. He accepts the gun from Brett's hands trying to maintain an innocent stare. “I will help you,” he said with a sincere gaze. “That’s very good,” Brett laughed. “I knew I could trust you. I had no clue who else I could call. You are the only one that came to my mind, unfortunately.”Herald let out a weak chuckle. Brett focused on one of his helpers and ordered her to get Herald some wine. “Would you like some wine?” Brett asked with a smirk. “Sure, why not,” Herald eyes brightened due to the thought of wine. “This is a moment to celebrate! We are gonna work together!” Brett smiled and got him the wine. Brett took the glass of wine from him and they both had a toast. As he gulped down his whole cup, Brett felt reluctant to drink his.“I can’t

    When Herald got the invite from Brett, he knew all wasn’t good. Unfortunately, Brett wasn’t dumb. Brett knew who he suspected, and was fond of getting into the matter of things. Herald couldn’t relax in his home. His eyes kept moving to his phone hoping for feedback concerning his flight. “Sorry, all flights have been closed due to the weather,” one of the agents informed him. Gerald frowned. “So you're telling me that I can’t get an emergency flight or what?!” He sounded harsh. His house girl gazed at him from the dining table she cleaned. She’s never seen him so angry before. In fact, his sudden outburst was rare. Herald was a cheerful dude. He was never angry… like ever. Herald’s phone rang again. It was Brett trying to remind him to visit. Gerald shivered. “It’s not my damn fault,” he quivered. “Do not blame me for this…please.” The house girl stared at him again. This time, he was mumbling words to himself and that was absurd. “Sir, are you fine?” She asked. “You are trembl

    Herald couldn’t hide his confusion due to what happened. He knew he did as his father ordered, but what he least expected was the explosion which shook the earth. He hurriedly got into his car to drive Brett’s home. He needed to check up on the family and confirm how they were doing. He needed to know what the police knew. As he drew closer to the location, his phone rang, throwing him slightly off guard. It was his father, feeling proud of what he had done. “Keep this up,” his father said to him. “You have done very well.”“Dad, what the hell are you talking about? The Hazards just faced a huge disaster and…”His father began to laugh heartily. This made him confused for a moment until he eventually realized what was going on. “Dad, did you do this?” He asked in confusion.“I told you that I will always repay evil for evil,” the man wasn’t remorseful at all. Herald couldn’t believe his father would do such a thing. I mean, he knew how cruel his father was, but that amount of wicked

    The Mafia Lord heard of the approaching wedding and frowned as he gazed at the E-invitation card with a frown. Of course he hadn’t been invited. But Brett was stupid enough to keep his enemies closer. Unfortunately, one of Brett’s office colleagues got invited. And that was his son, Herald. The Mafia Lord kept Herald away from the mafia business for a long time, seeing him as a golden child. There was no way he wanted his favorite to get into trouble. It seems that won’t last for long. As long as Brett worked with his son, and his son Herald was an easy way to get across to Brett, he had no issue with that. Things seem to fall in place…right? If only the Mafia Lord was in the same country with Brett to watch him and his family die slowly. The thought was really eating him slowly. Well, since his son was working with Brett, things should be easier. “I see you are friends with Mr Brett Hazard,” the Mafia Lord said to his son over a phone call. “You never told me you were close to th

    Brett stepped out of his car in his well ironed suit. The ceremony was about to start and everyone ran helter skelter to see what pending tasks were left. Brett wasn’t bothered. He seemed a bit at ease for a new groom, and kept his hands tucked in his pocket maintaining his composure.“The ceremony is about to start. Do you know where your wife is yet?” His mother asked as she cuddled Damian who was asleep on her shoulder. “She will be here soon,” Brett said with a smile. “Let her take her time.”“Are you serious?” His mother looked unimpressed. “We have a freaking time limit here! You can’t just tell us to be patient with the wedding. The priest is already here.”“Trust me. Hailey knows what she is doing,” Brett said to his mother. “You spoil that woman a lot,” his mother hissed before walking out. When she left, Brett shut his eyes and took a deep breath. It was still difficult to believe it was the damn D day. If someone told him, he would never believe it. “Congrats man!” A gro

    Hailey hurried up the stairs in her pajamas carrying a bouquet as the rest of the servants raced behind her.“Please tell me the band is here,” Hailey pleaded as she walked down the well lit hallway. The house was busy that weekend and everyone couldn’t hold back from the noise. There was a huge celebration happening at the Hazards apparently and everyone had their eyes on Hailey. “Why aren’t you ready yet?” Zara asked in shock as she walked out Hailey’s room with a jewelry box. “Do not be upset, I am just busy,” Hailey waved her off. “There is so much going on and we have to make this day a success.” “You need to calm down,” Zara calmed her down. “The marriage will happen anyway. Just calm down.”“No, I can't calm down. The band isn’t at the venue yet. The meals are still pending. What do you want me to do? Everything is a total mess,” Hailey nagged. “Hailey, you cannot get things done with a panicked mood,” Zara rolled her eyes. “You need to think clearly if you wish to plan som

    Few months later, as Naya got Damian ready for daycare, she heard a loud scream from the highway and hurried to look. It was poor Hailey, getting scared for no reason at all…or maybe there was a reason. “What’s wrong?” Naya asked. “Relax, dear.”“Someone has kidnapped Ryan!” Naya cried. “What?!” Naya was shocked. “Why?! How?!” “I don’t know. He asked me to come to this address, we need to go,” Hailey showed her an address on her phone. It was a remote location Naya didn’t have faith in. “Let us go with the police. I do not trust this place,” Naya informed her with a doubtful stare. “No, mum, you do not understand. They will hurt him,” Hailey cried. “We have no other choice,” Naya advised her. “We need to involve the police, if not, they will do something to us.” Hailey couldn’t argue with her mum. In a few minutes, they were on their way to the location with the police. It was an abandoned location with an odd looking warehouse which hadn't been used in years. “Won’t you guys

    Later that night, Naya had submerged her feet in the swimming pool watching the full moon. Brett joined her with two glasses of wine. They cheered and took sips. “Why does the air feel different?” He asked Naya who couldn’t agree more. “We are at a new era in our lives. A live where all our enemies have been put in their place,” Naya told him and took another sip of the drink. “Funny enough, we do not have to do anything. It just falls into place, you know,” Brett boasted. “I love when things fall on our laps. Damn! Let them all be coming, and let’s be showing them where they belong. It feels good to be evil,” Naya smirked. “Your soft heart is incapable of white, unfortunately,” Brett mocked and took the drink from her. He dropped it on the tiles beside the pool and jumped in. “Come on!” He called her out. “Let’s have fun in the pool.” Naya nodded and got in carefully. She swam towards him and poured a handful of water at him, which he retaliated. They swam around like childre
