Author: Bright Henry
last update Last Updated: 2022-12-27 09:31:00

As I wanted to leave the room, my eyes fell on a Rubik’s cube set on a sizable fridge in the corner. “I have seen something like that,” I thought. I tried to remember where and when but I could not so I decided to forget about it and leave.

But as I made to go out, my mind was still on the Rubik’s cube. It was as if there was a rope tied to me from the Rubik’s cube, making my going out without dragging it along impossible. So I decided to carry it along.

Just as I stepped out of the room to go, I felt a piece of metal touch my head. As I turned, there was Joan with a gun. She moved backward to leave some space between us.

“What are you doing with a gun, Joan?”

“Nothing. I just want that Rubik’s cube.”

“And why should I give it to you?”

“Because I have a gun. If you don’t give

    The next morning at the police station, Ace is sitting in the interrogation room. Shortly, Officer Steve walked into the room with a folder and dropped it on the table in front of Ace.“I thought you were the good guy until you started killing innocent people,” Officer Steve said as he sat opposite Ace.Ace chuckled. “You got the wrong guy!” Ace said.Officer Steve looked at him for a while then said, “The records in front of you said otherwise.”“Your records might be correct. But they are not talking about me, they are talking about Leo, and I am not Leo.”“So who are you?”“I am Ace!

    Mr. Edwards noticed the look on Lucas’ face. “What is it?” Mr. Edwards asked curiously.“The Rubik’s cube is gone! Yet my office did not look like it was mobbed when I got in this morning! So how did he gain entrance in?”“He played you by using Ace as a distraction to get in,” Jack said.With the Rubik’s cube in hand of Sebastian, Lucas and his grandfather knew that the Halloways Company is bound to fall, just like Leo took out other companies if nothing is done.“Involving police and asking me to standby last night was the biggest mistake you made, Mr. Edwards,” Jack said. “I have my boy, trailing both Sebastian and Debby since they met at the Wreakin’ club. I am the only one that knows how he operates. I would have gotten him last night if I was allowed but you said you don’t trust me.”M

    When my phone started ringing, I had the least intuition that it was going to be another twist of events.Now my brother is taken. Since I came to know about this paper, it has been nothing but heartache.“They have my brother,” I announced to Sebastian and Walter after getting off the phone.“Shit!” he cussed.We drive silently for a while, no one was talking. My mind was on freeing my brother and nothing else. They had asked for the Rubik’s cube and the necklace in exchange for him. I have nothing to lose if I hand them over to them. They said they are calling in the next two hours to tell me where to meet them and I must come alone and tell no one. That’s exactly what I am going to do, not even Sebastian would stop me from this.“Don’t worry. I will get your brother back to you with no harm done to him,” Sebastian had assur

    In the bar.The figures before me appeared in twos and three. All the bodies moved in sync with the music blaring from the loudspeakers which I cannot see. Given their sound prowess, I can only imagine how big they must be.Never have I been in a place like this before. You'd find me in coffee shops and libraries and in fact, anywhere else but a club. But I ended my housemanship yesterday and Sophia, the bane of my existence insisted on taking me out to celebrate. "Girl! You need to get out there and start living. You can worry about when to start your residency and whether to spend the rest of your life dealing with mental people or touching people's brains later on but right now?! Prepare. I am taking you out. No worries, it's all on me." She had said, in response to my question of what field to specialize in after I practice general medicine for a while. Of course, I knew what Sophia's idea of a celebration is. This is it. Or maybe it is just the kind she thinks I need right now

    "Sure." He said, the small smile still on his lips. "But if you ask for a favor like that, you're not going to get it."I laughed. Favors? I was the one doing him the honors here. He is going to be the very first man that slept with me and I bet the joy will be akin to that of opening a brand new car. So I voiced out my exact thoughts."I am the one doing you a favor here. You're going to sleep with me.""Exactly my point. I am going to sleep with you but I don't have to if I do not want to. You, on the other hand, must find someone to sleep with you before dawn. By the way, are you on some ultimatum? What's the rush to find a man to sleep with you for?"I struggle to wrest my hands free of his hold. He didn't budge.Sophia did not say it'll be this hard. According to her teachings, men do not even care about anything else once you're offering them sex. This one was asking too many questions and I am too tired to engage him. "I am 25." I manage to say. "I ended my housemanship yester

    Hurriedly, I fixed myself up and burst out of the restroom, in a sprint. Momentarily, I wondered where Sophia was. She was probably high on something and on top of a random man's cock, riding away into ecstasy.I have to catch the bastard.He led me outside, past the bouncers that stood guard at the doors while I followed, jogging in between my walk. The wreakin' was an enormous place covering a large area of land. It could contain hundreds of people, most of which were willing women.And this crude idiot thought he could come sneak long looks at me in the bathroom and go free? Jokes. I'm going to hand him over to the police.I walk along the lobby of the club, yelling at his form that was now running ahead of me. He seems to recognize that I didn't give up and was still after him."Come back here you pervert! Come see more. Let me your eyes with more." I yelled. Yes, more slaps and blows to his head."Come back here, you pervert!""Get him. He's a pervert!" I kept yelling, while a

    I tethered in the barrier between wakefulness and slumber. It was plain black and then suddenly, the image appeared. Colors of blood and tears, with the smell of antiseptics, filled my vision and olfactory. I saw her, sitting in that white chiffon dress and bawling out her eyes, wailing uncontrollably. Then it came, in one swift movement, and went through her form, leaving splashes of blood and a loud harrowing scream.I woke up with a start, panting heavily.A slight wave of pain hit me as I opened my eyes. This was coupled with the stream of light that came from the window my face was directly facing. I turned away while covering my face with my hand. My breathing slowed down as I took in my surroundings. This is Sophia's room. The largeness, alongside its rich aura of it, gave it away. But the owner was not here. So, I began scrambling for my phone that I saw in the bedside drawer. Just when I reached it, the door flung open and she appeared.She was holding in her hands a smal

    "The police station?" I asked, eyes wide open. "What for?""We have a couple of questions for you miss." The man stated."Why can't you ask me them now? Is this regarding what happened yesterday night at the club? I already told security what happened. You could even take a look at the cameras.""About that, you will have to give an official statement at the station. But that's not why we're here.""Why then are you here?" I asked again, my eyes darting around. There were two of the officers, apart from the one talking to me. Even without uniforms, they still looked very much like uniform men, scary and full of command."Exactly my point Debby. I do not know what you were up to yesterday but I was surprised to see the police pull up here looking for you. Did you get into something bad?" The hospital director asked before I had the chance to say anything. "This has never happened.""I was at the club," I answered. I heard him gasp. As well as Beverly and Tristan, who were the receptio

    When Sebastian initially approached the building, there was no sign of policemen around, not even the hospital security. Not seeing any security in sight only meant one thing to him; they cleared everywhere just to lure him into the building easily, so they could lock down the building and hem him in. But he was not going to make it that easy for them.“This is going to be tougher than I thought.”That was why he changed his plan and decided to create some panic by going behind the building to the powerhouse to knock out the power source.But just when he turned to go, a bright halogen light flashed at him, and every darkness that hid him before left!“Shit! I just caught made before I even started,” Sebastian muttered.“Oh! It’s you!” Ace said and turned off the torch.“Ace what are you doing?”

    Sebastian and Debby kept arguing without making any progress. She was determined to go.“You don’t have to be worried about my safety,” Sebastian said. “Jack and Ace are going with me. I already notified them. So you just rest right here.”“If you are going down, I want to be there to go down with you. I’m ready to take this risk.”Debby felt it was a risk worth taking, besides she has cancer anyway. Dying from a bullet or getting caught is better than dying slowly of cancer.“Even if you stop me from going with you, I will still come after you. I love you too much to let you walk right into the danger zone all alone,” Debby persisted.“You are so stubborn,” Sebastian taunted her.“Oh yeah!” Debby chuckled and put her arm on his neck then continued, “A trait I picked up

You deserve not to be heard but to be killed!”Jack knew what he did. He knew Mr. Edwards was not blabbing. He knew what he can do.“Now tell me why I should not shoot you right now for betraying my trust for you and running away with my money?” Mr. Edwards threatened.Jack was unmoved. “That’s why I’m here,” he said. “I am tired of running. I want to be free, I want to be able to pay you back all the money I stole from the company.”“And you are sure you will be able to pay that money even in your entire lifetime?”“The information I brought is worth more than your entire company. That is nothing compared to whatever I’m owing.&r

    When Debby walked through the hospital that day with her things, everyone was looking at her, wondering why she was packing. She was so ashamed.Her life since she joined that hospital kept going up and down, from one trouble to another and now she is been sacked.“Life has been fucking unfair to me. So fucking unfair!” she cussed under her breath.From the corner of her eyes, she could see Joan smiling at her as she made her way through the door. She is probably happy that she lost once again. It was only Brian that came to help her with her things. He stood with her until she entered a taxi and left.She had wanted to go home to pick up her necklace after work before going over to Sebastian’s place but no more. The pain she was feeling was so much that only a good cry with her head on his broad chest could be the only remedy. If it were before, she would be thinking of going

    It was a Monday morning already. It’s almost two days since Sophia my friend lured me to a club and made me get drunk. All through the weekend, I didn’t go home apart. I had several calls from Jakes saying he wanted to see me but after getting drunk, all the promises I made of coming home to see him were history.But there was something else. Before I left Sebastian’s house for work, he told me to stay away from my house as much as possible and also try to get Jakes to do so. I agreed. But I know I lied to him. I might not be going home to sleep, for the time being, moreover, I like being with him at all times. But I cannot let my necklace in the room. I need to get it.My dad gave it to me a few days before he died. He told me I would be needing that necklace one day but never told me why nor do I know what it would be useful for apart from just wearing it as an ornament.That’s
