Kelan's POV

As I alighted from the cab and walked towards the wooden gate, a thousand thoughts cloud my mind. The past few days of my life had been dedicated to the search for my mum. I had talked with almost all of the old staff that worked in the company as at that time I figured that she was still around. But all of them had communicated their regrets of no longer having her contact. I had even looked up the internet but I realized that she wasn’t on any of the social media platforms. This woman whose house I approached, turned out to be my last resort. But I can’t help it but think if this search would turn out to be successful? If I wouldn’t get the same answers?

Well, there is no better way to find out than finding out. So, pushing the gate silently, I walked in casting quick glances at my surrounding. Lilies and hibiscus flowers lined up at one end filling the atmosphere with the beautiful scent of nature. Standing at the door, I hesitated a while before I rang the bell. On the

    Aliyah's POVMy heart raced. My mind throbbed. My head pounded. I stood apprehended not knowing the exact emotions to process. Fear? Anger? I wasn't certain of the particular one to settle for. So, I paced from one end of the house to the other, running my hands through my dishevelled hair. I stopped abruptly and turned around immediately the front door creaked open with Kelan running towards me."Hey honey," he rushed towards me and held me in a tight embrace."Are you okay?" he asked with a tone of concern. "K... Kelan..." I called in a teary voice."Baby," he responded, running his fingers through my hair."Talk to me. How did it happen?" he released me from the embrace and cupped my cheeks in his palms."Our boys... They... Our boys..." I trailed off, welling up in tears."Honey, put yourself together and tell me all about it," he dried my tears with his eyes.I sniffed then blew my nose noisily into a tissue."Come, sit," he draped his arms around my shoulder and walked me to th

    Jason's POV“I cant believe Kelan’s got the balls to boldly say no to me. His boys should be more important than the company or money.” I nagged, kicking my feet in the air. “Clearly, he is not as dumb as you think he is. I did not see that coming, I had already imagined he would come crying and begging for his children.” Carley said to me with a smirk on her face which was quite confusing. I furrowed my brows from feeling displeased with her facial expression. “What?” she snapped.“What? Are you really asking me that?” I walked towards her and paused my steps when I was right in front of her. “What is this look on your face?” I asked her and I could hear her whimper. Clearly, my facial expression got her terrified and that is exactly what I wanted her to feel. “Nothing Jason. Get out of my face.” She said and pushed me to the side but I gripped her hand before she had the chance to take another step. “What was that about?” I asked her again. “Nothing! Jesus!” she exclaimed and

    Kelan POV“Jason, let's not do this. Just listen to the officers and put down your gun.” “No. I will do no such thing. I'm walking out of here with Carey and my mom and no one here is stopping me,” His voice retorted with anger laced all over his tone. “Sir, permission to fire,” one of the FBI agents called out to his superintendent. Their eyes glared at me as I threw quick glances at my phone screen awaiting Aliyah's call. We had agreed to split just in case Jason was smart enough to leave the babies behind and come here alone. He was and currently Aliyah and another team of agents were following the trace of the last call. The tracker was still on the phone line and we hoped to find them before Jason or Carey realizes. “No one is shooting my brother,” I jumped into the rising tension. Jason hands still held the gun firmly as I gradually walked to the front of the men. My hands we up, and I knew it wouldn't cost him so much to shoot me right now, but it was a move I was willing

    Aliyah POV“Fuck,” I shouted. I had been trying so hard to fix the hairpin in the right direction on my well-permed hair. It would tilt sideways at intervals, and I would have to straighten it. Maybe I was looking at the mirror for too long. If Carey was here, maybe. My mind flashed to the last time I had seen her – body bagged up, headed to the morgue. It was a gory sight, one I never expected I would see Carey in. Kelan had told me how everything occurred; how she grew in rage after Jason shot himself, and fired at an officer. A bullet in her chest, and another buried deep into her head killed her instantly. “Fuck. You didn’t have to die like that, Carey,” I cursed, and soon fell to the ground, my face soiling with tears. I didn’t mind my wedding dress, as I kept pounding the floor, taking the hurt from every nudge I gave the hard floor. She was my best friend for as long as I have lived. The only person who could stand beside me on a day like this. She didn’t have to betray me

    Aliyah’s pov"Cheers to the good old days!" I say, rising my glass of Hennessy into the air. "It's been a roller coaster ride and I'll definitely miss you guys." The fresh air at the rooftop hit me full force, making me shiver. I used the excuse of the cold to wrap my arms around Jason. One look at him and I knew he was already craving me. "Happy graduation day baby," I muttered seductively. "Congratulations to us all." Carey said, glancing round and lifting her glass in the air to a toast. "To more happy years!" Everyone else on the rooftop yelled. I laughed out loud when I saw all of our friends engrossed in dancing. I and Carey were already tipsy. We had been drinking all day. I had been a good child from zero to - I was turning 24 tonight, I and Carey are both turning 24 tonight - it was a good enough reason to get drunk and not be a good girl. I and Carey quietly sat back at a small corner table, enjoying the city view while we watched our classmates have fun. Where had

    The police officers arrived at the station, and led us to the counter, we quietly followed."Mom!" I and Carey screamed when we saw both of our mothers discussing with the police officers."Glad you're here, they arrested us unlawfully." I said to my mother, mustering up my spirit. "How did you know we were here?"Mrs. Elsa looked at Carey and I in vexation. I knew what my mother was thinking. That I and Carey had started following the bad kids they always warned us about."Mom.." Carey moved to Mrs. Thelma, her mother. "Tell them to let us go right away, how dare them?!" She turned to fully face officer Jerry. "My father can get you arrested, I just need to put a call across to him.""Not when I was the one that ordered for the arrest." Mrs. Thelma moved her glare from Carey to I. I immediately looked away."You what?" Carey asked, made a face and cursed. "Mom! Have you gone insane?""Mom," I moved closer to her. "What's Mrs. Thelma saying? You guys had us arrested? Why?" My voice wa

I pulled away. "My mom is probably looking for me by now, what is important that couldn't wait until tomorrow?""Tomorrow is my elder brother's wedding," He cleared his throat and straightened. "He's getting married tomorrow.""Oh..okay.." I said patiently, waiting for the part that was important. "Kelan?"He nodded. "But there's a big problem..""Tell me.." I silently wished nothing was wrong somewhere."His bride to be was kidnapped the early hours of this morning.." He broke into tears."What?" My voice softened and I moved closer to pull him into my embrace. "I'm so sorry to this..this is disheartening..how? Why?""Envy and jealousy.." He held my hands.

"You both should have a splendid wedding night." She chuckled then slammed the door.I recognized her face as one of the few people that were in the hall. I raced after her and caught up with her in no time. "Excuse me ma'am.." I tapped her shoulders.Mrs. Rosa scowled over that and brushed off my hand. "Don't you ever put your dirty hands on me, ever again, do you understand me?"I swallowed hard, nodding. "I'm sorry." I needed my dark mood to be cleared. I had so many questions and I needed answers to all of them. "I want to see Jason, please ma." I forced myself to look into her eyes."Oh no, don't worry about Jason, get busy and worry about Kelan, your husband." She said in an obvious mocking voice."There's something you need to know, I can't keep it to myself anymore." My voice was breaking. "Please hear me

    Aliyah's POVMy soft hum filled the atmosphere as I gently stroked Jared whom I cradled in my arms. His body relaxed against mine while his little fingers curled around my index finger. I brewed a smile as I could see my face when I look at him, my exact prototype. Jacob, sat beside us grinning with content in his baby bouncer, sucking on his teething toy. His chubby cheeks curved into a smile then a chuckle, which was suddenly followed by a cry. I took the cry as a clue that he was trying to communicate that Jared's time in my arms was up. So, I carried him and Jared took his place in the baby bouncer. Minutes later, the front door creaked open, revealing Kelan, dressed in a black shirt tucked into an ash-coloured trousers. He loosened his tie as he walked over to where we were. "Hey, honey," he smiled. "Hey darl," I winked. "How was your day?" "Stressful," he sighed. "As usual," he replied, his voice sounding exhausted as he kept his briefcase gently on the table."My boys," he

    Jason's POVPushing myself off the hard bunk with a grunt, I strode out alongside my fellow inmates into the dark corridor of the prison. In a single file, we dragged ourselves to the prison yard where we had our morning drills. During my first few days here, the space of about a plot of land was apportioned to me to clear up, but with my transition to the chief bully, such was no longer the case. I was even nicknamed Don Jay after I served the previous bully, loads of punches. "Would you all stop dragging your feet?" the prison officer barked. The question must have provoked the inmates as the shuffling of feet intensified. "Man, are you deaf? Lift your feet off the ground," I heard an inmate say. Swiftly turning around, I shot a fiersome gaze at this new scrawny inmate who probably doesn't know who I was. Because the rest of the inmates knew better than to question me or challenge my authority. Giving him a second chance, I ignored him and assumed my steps. "Hey!" he barked, wi

    Aliyah’s POV“Your honor, my clients here,” the lawyer spoke, gesturing to Jason and Carey, “Plead not guilty as regards to the alleged murder,” his voice pierced through the hushed voices of the many individuals occupying the rows of wooden benches in the tensed atmosphere of the courtroom. I shift uneasily on my seat, eager for whatever verdict.Kelan must have noticed my uneasiness, as he pressed my palms. “Aliyah, relax,” he whispered.I heaved a sigh in response and reclined backwards because the last thing I wanted for myself was clouding my head with lots of thoughts, slumping again, and finding myself back at the hospital I had left a week ago.My gaze fell on Jason and Carey both wearing a smirk on their faces. I searched in vain for the expression of remorse, but I found none, not even a tiny bit. They seemed to be super confident in their lawyer or something else only them knew about. Slowly, my gaze travelled upwards to the elevated perch where the judge sat, peering throu

    Kelan's POV Sitting in the front seat, next to Mr. Lanez, the silent ride was seemingly uncomfortable as I noticed the worry lines drawn on his forehead. There was this invisible cloud of tension hovering in the car as the engine hummed in melody. "Uhmm," I cleared my throat to gain his attention. "Thank you for saving me back there," I fondled with the handkerchief in my hands. I was taken aback by his silent treatment. Was he mad at me because of the way I relentlessly argued over his revelations yesterday? "I'm sorry for not believing you yesterday. I just found it so difficult to believe that they could be as terrible as that," I blabbed. "Mr Lanez," I called aloud, then immediately regretted my action as the eyes he flashed out me weren't friendly at all. "Did I do anything wrong?" I asked calmy."Kelan, you did everything wrong," he yelled. "You just added to all of the current complexities," he sighed, tightening his grip on the steering wheel. My mind raced, my heart
