Where was she? Was she dead or under more excruciating pain than me? Whatever she was going through was all for my sake. I owed her a decent life. If I won't die today will live to make her safe and happy.But the secret... She will never know that I am the killer and all the she went through was on my behalf. I didn't know for how long I had dozed but the screeching of brakes in what I thought was the car park jolted me back to reality. I remembered Jacob was on his way here. He was a furious driver who drove anywhere as he was racing against some imaginary enemy. Possibly he was the one who had just arrived. I sunk my head between my knees in pain. In a second I had all the best and the worst moments through my subconscious mind. And this was the day I was probably going to meet with the same girl whose appointment with devil I had fixed.'Forgive me Monique. In one way or the other I had to do but I wouldn't have done so if I wasn't forced to. I... " The iron door violently we
"I knew you will attempt to do this after killing her. You ain't lucky at all! You are going to get married to him weather you like it or not!" He boomed as he shoved into the backseat of the Jeep. I was now used to pain. I wished he could just kill me instead of taking me to Clemont Hill if that was about to do."Dad... Am... ""Stop calling me dad! I have been so merciful to you all this time and you tried to fuck up the whole plan! If Will Still learns about your f***king attempt he will just thwart you!" He shouted as he sped down the highway.Deep down I wished they could just have killed me earlier instead of letting me go though all this. I was already paying for the mistakes I didn't commit. "Your wedding is going to be in two weeks time! Don't dare make a fool yourself into trying to make another clumsy move again. I will kill you this time," he threatened.What I heard was reveberating and distorted voice from a distance as the strength and consciousness slowly slipped out
I don't know how many times in I had faintted until I could not longer bear the pain. At some point I felt like my skin was peeling off under the impact of the hot water.My fingers were almost flattened by the cold giant pliers. The sharp pain in my chest and the strong aroma or roasted meat startled me from the deep fanatasy I hadn't sunk at the pain.One minute I was dreaming about her the other I was groaning and yelling under the pain, cursing the very day I decided to love her. On my chest was the fresh tattoo of the a logo I had never seen before. My tormentor was smiling at me with satisfaction. I let out an eerie scream and the echoe resounded in the room but the devil just smiled at me while holding the hot iron.I don't know what else he had done to me when I had passed away. The feeling of my whole body made me I had been under fire. I was restless and desperte. The well of my tears had tried up. "Let me go?" I yelled in pain as I struggled to free myself. He stood up
There was no single reason for me to anticipate happiness even in the next minute of life. I was being prepared to live with the most inhumane person I had ever before. This was the most realistic nightmare ever. I hated drugs and the sight of the transparent bottle full of some purple tablets on the table almost made me puke. But an idea struck my mind. I kept hoping I would one day see Rotimi again. I loved him for his cheerful attitude, always optimistic. I wished the universe would just keep him alive for my sake. Even if we had to meet in heaven, it would still be fine.We had a business to finish together. A week had elapsed and I regained my senses. Once in while mum had come and for the few minutes she stayed I wished she couldn't have came. My dad and my uncle were my regular visitors, they came to insult and threaten me. Lyza was the most caring person ever but I had learnt that she worked for Clemont Hill. What she sold me were pieces of fake hope and I had to buy them
Clemont Hill was the most feared man in the city and the news had gone around that I was the small boy standing his lane between him and his wife to be. I had been given examples of people who had dared meddle in his affairs. All were their in the it new homes, the graves in the cemetery and other mass graves scattered in the outskirts of the city.And who was going to be the next victim? I was sudden his men were already secretly watching all my movements. And that son d**k head , Alvarez! He would one day live to regret what he did to me. It was useless to try running away into another country or city. But I had a certain feeling, my instincts affirmed my actions. This time I was going to wait for death. I was going to wait for the jaws and claws of the dragon."Look here, there's fire on the mountain," Jacob said as she confidently folded his hands on his wide chest. I anxiously waited for him to break the bad news to me."Been told Clemont Hill may consider seeing you in the co
Whenever I reminded myself of what was awaiting me, throbs of pain sprung up in my head again and again. They talked of taking the bull by it's horns but for me I was going to take the dragon by it's jaws.The wedding plans were underway... I smiled. I was like a dead body waiting to be kept somewhere dark. I was just the collateral damage... But my tears were not counting and my pleas made fhem angrier than before.They were bargaining with me at the same time but I had no chance to have a say in whatever the were saying. If wishes were horses...She told me I was just inches away from my destiny... Little did she know I hated her for stopping me from accomplishing what my soul wanted. She worked for Clemont and that's why she was so committed.I still loved Rotimi... I would never stop loving him. Ryan... Why did he look so familiar? The longer I tried to remember things the more fhey slipped away into the darkness and I just got angrier."My name is just enough for now!" He said
I could see the fright in his eyes as much as he tried to remain calm. His chest rhythymically went in and out as Clemont went for his briefcase. Jacob glanced at me again before staring at Clemont Hill who slowly opened opened it using some codes.Probably he was choosing the right gun!"You are now officially under my authority!" He said as he carried bundles of cash in dollars and placed them before Jacob who was now tensed."But I don't mean I have forgiven you for messing with one of my wives. You will definitely pay for it the hard way," he emphasized as he slowly blew the cigarette towards the open window.He slowly turned and stared at me again. The message in his eyes was very clear... I was definitely the one going to bear the most punishment for my weird deeds. Again I regretted meeting Charlotte than anything else. Here was a man who no one pleads with. Whose word is final and whose chambers no one escaped alive! I gasped!"Clinsman, it's your turn to exceute your dilige
I couldn't grasp what was going for a moment. Only disgusting smiles and words... Things that didn't match their outstanding beauty.But how did Abigael choose to get married to him? Was she forced like me? I couldn't afford to look at them straight in the eyes. They were a way distance from their smiles and soothing words. I felt my head spinning around as Abigael stared at me. I looked at my reflection through the glass table and I got lost forgetting that I was in their mighty presence for a while. And what were they even talking about in the first place?"In fact you have no say in whatever that's going to happen on that day! You only have to comply with the order lest you get yourself in trouble again," Bella insisted as she stood up from her sit.I could hear their words from a distance... As if we were in hollow tunnel and I was at the far end only getting the waves of their frustrating echo."And you got a nice hair," Bella said as she touched my hair jilting me from my sma
Few weeks later!"Did the small machine work perfectly?" He inquired as he settled in the comfy seat. Clearlake Livingston, a mafia boss and one of the few people l trusted the most owned a private company that dealt in microchips and phone trackers.A serious and fearless businessman he was! I had bought into his idea of ensuring that l monitored whatever Charlotte was doing using her phone including her location."Yeah... Am so grateful for your advise. My men got up with her in time and the rest as you know..." I paused as he smiled before laughing at me."Hope you didn't kill her or you ain't planning to."Being men of the dark, who ruled in the absence of light in our own kingdoms of hell. Whoever got into our hands for the wrong reasons would really be lucky to get out with their lives. "I gave her just a small dose of what is awaiting her is she tries to fuck again. She's my little doll, hurting her is also a sign of love according to me. Sexy how she behaves while she's in pa
"Thanks you are back. How was the journey, my little doll?" I heard the familiar voice as if it was a mile away. l slowly opened my eyes to recover from the deep slumber.I sneezed as l inhaled the strange air that comprised of a mixture of some dump and rotten tree trunks into my lungs. The room was dimly lit and a man in a long black leather trench towered over me.I tried to reconnect the scenes of the last few hours but my head dissappointed me only bolts of pain sprung up from the temples. I slowly raised my head and found myself staring at his irritated face with the usual smile. The smile that was the obvious sign of death to whomever was in his hands.It was me with a special 'appointment' with the man l had called a husband for just a few months ago. Whatever anyone said about him, l had come to realize it is true.I was now the sample for him to demonstrate his madness. The events now flashed through my subconscious mind like a television set with unsteady signal. As if eve
"Are you okay. Have you lost something, dear," l whispered as l stepped out of his way. He shot a furious glance at me before storming into the master bedroom."What's is not happening," l muttered."So you are trying to play tricks on me? Do you know how much l hate pranks? Do you know who you are trying to mess with?" He breathed as he pinned me against the cold wall.My breaths got stuck in my throat again as my heart drummed in my chest almost missing a beat or two. I couldn't understand what he was talking about. His thick fingers squeezed my neck so hard that l coughed and struggled for air. I couldn't speak anything though l wanted to. He ignored my tears and his scary eyes became monster-like."Don't convince me to do what l do to people like you. Now tell me how this necklace got itself under one of your pillows," he scolded me as he fished out a brilliant gold necklace from his pocket.I had never seen it before, not even a single idea how he found it under the pillow. Was
"There's is trouble in paradise l think we are losing it, Abigael," l said as l sunk into the comfy seat. I closed my eyes and the events of the previous vividly rushed through my mind. I cringed and threw glance at Abigael who was busy on her phone.Clemont has been a different person since she married this newsflash of a killer in the name of a woman. Now it seems like she has completely won his heart."And what are you talking about ,big girl.""That slip of a girl, Charlotte do you know l got Clemont mercilessly fucking her in the car. And perhaps she's now a proud owner of two new Lamborghini Aventadors," l explained.She frowned, put her phone aside and stood up with her hands akimbo as is she was ready to pounce and tear me apart."What!? But why did he call you when he knew very well he had planned to fuck her?" She questioned as she moved towards my seat.It would be a different case if he could just walk in and eavesdrop on our conversation. He's not a man you can look at tw
"Sir, news reporters are waiting for you. Will you please have some time with them. They have been waiting for almost an hour," my personal said humbly bowed.A thought immediately struck my mind, l had just finished taking my sumptuous breakfast the way l liked the most.I glanced at him and turned my eyes to Charlotte whose smile hid the fear behind it. "What the hell do the news reporters want from me?" I wondered as l wiped my hands with the blue serviette."What do you think they want to hear from me?" I inquired from Erickson who stood their gazing at me.He has been so loyal to me for the past fifteen years of his wonderful service. "Am pretty sure , they want some clarifications about your new project at the coast. Yap." Someone could have told them about the missing men already, the ones who refused a free gift of walking away with their lives from my hands."Okay, tell them l only have ten minutes of my time to listen to their desperate questions.""Okay Sir!"The downside
I would guess one or two things about him, but it always dawned on me that l was totally wrong about everything l tried to think about him.It was a full week of fun and surprises that always stopped my breath in the throat. With him nothing was ordinary, what I expected came in ways l didn't expect at all. From being gifted a brand new yacht of my own to being mesmerized by the glossy pictures of the Lamborghini Aventador cool machines waiting for me in unknown place.His wonderful and unique actions got me wondering if he was actually in love me with or he was just love bombing me into a circus of unknown torture.His wonderful and expensive gifts washed away the worry and pains from my soul. I felt lively and reborn in his world.From me ,l understood clearly that he wanted a son that his other wives had failed to give him. I would be utterly lying to say that l know what will happen if l don't give him a son.If someone asked to define his personality in a few sentences,l would b
I had a couple of other picturesque and glorious islands where I could spent my honeymoon. I got friends all over who offered other wonderful places to spend my small vacation. But I chose Fiji because that's where some of my secrets are kept. Yes... Am a wanted man and I cannot trust anyone with my information. Am a mysterious guy, I don't disclose anything related to my moves and many of my secrets. Even my other lasses are not aware of my presence in Fiji. They are many other things they have no clue about. They had no clue that l was in love with this poor girl. I knew she had never been here before and one way of taking away fear from her was spoiling her with attention.I didn't want to go an inch away from me. The more sex escapades we had the more I got bonded to her. I had something big for her but it was still a secret.That lady looked familiar, I looked away into the distant waves of the ocean as I tried to recapture and remember the few moments we had pumped in each ot
Was the beast in him still asleep? Didn't they tell me he was demon? That it was hard to impress him? Why was he confessing love to me. Was he just being nice just to lure me into unknown dark trap somewhere?If there was something that gave me goosebumps and scared me again and again, it was his nice attitude. It matched his crimson red eyes.I couldn't see the devilish attitude and all the evils I had been told about him. I remembered the day I was told I was going to marry him, how my heart shuddered into pieces.I had cried my eyes out thinking things could just change for the better. I looked at the expensive diamond ring on my finger... To me it meant some voluntary slavery I had no idea about. I was his third option but he was giving me the vibes of the first and most loved wife. It was true I had a string of questions but I would not dare ask him at all. His bad side, I had not seen and I was not about to trigger him into the demon they had told me about.He has been watchi
When I chose the wedding venue I didn't know she will turn up as beautiful as she was. I had my eyes on her as she slowly walked down the isle. The news had spread far and wide about the grand wedding and so many wanted to attend and I had to make it private for our sake. Her tears moved me as she made the vows. I wanted to hold her tightly and passionately kiss her lips, console her from the depths of my heart. For the second time, I proved that I was indeed in love with her.It was a secret I had to to keep away from the rest of the world. For a man like me falling head over heels with a girl in her early twenties! Something was amiss.She already owned half of my heart but the problem was, she was still scared of me. She was still a bit naive and shy. I almost broke down in tears as I lifted the veil to kiss her wet lips. I had to fight my emotions like a wounded lion.None of friends knew I was marrying out of love and not the mere collateral thing about the debts. I knew she wo
