"What's in there?" I ask, my voice failing me. What if it's like a letter bomb but in this case, a package bomb?"Is that a joke?" Jake says, his eyes on the door he was opening. "You ordered them. I've been standing here for the last twenty minutes, waiting for you to come back.""You should have called me.""I did. You were not reachable."He picked up the two packages that sat in the corner, each wrapped in brown paper. The door creaked open when he opened it and held it in place with a broad shoulder to enable his free passage. I wanted to say to him to leave the stuff outside but what was going to be my reason? My younger brother will stare at me in that funny way he looks at me when he thinks I'm doing or saying something stupid and then still proceed to take the stuff in.Who could have sent them and what was hidden away by their packaging wraps? I was eager and at the same time, scared. And how the fuck did they get my brother's number? Jake struggled to get the materials thr
The thick silence stayed with us for a moment. I looked him straight in the eye, ready, unwilling for him to see the fear in my eyes or the tremble of my hands. Whatever Leo was up to, he wasn't going to touch my brother. Who was he to come into my life, saving me from perverts and replacing our broken device? Just who does he thinks he is?Finally, Jake said, finding his voice, "What the fuck? What do you mean Hamburg?" He bent down to pick up his keyboard. When I glanced at it, I recognized it as the old one. I was relieved. For Jake's sake."We have to move," I repeated.There was no way I was telling him about Leo and his antics. No way in hell was I going to let him feel unsafe, especially if that insecurity was caused by me. But I had to move him away from here. Gayville was a tiny place and anything could go wrong. In Hamburg, it'll quite difficult for Leo to lay his hands on us. I know he's capable and all that but maybe it'll be much safer there."I got that. My question is,
The man, not at all young but also not old, choked on his spit. That wasn't supposed to be my business. However, he choked once more and then again. Soon, blood flew out of his mouth and into my face and before I could move an inch away in repulsion, he falls to the floor.So with celerity, I was moving instead towards him with panic and concern.He continues to jerk on the floor and frankly, I didn't know when I began to yell for assistance.Funny enough, no one comes to my aid. The man was still conscious and so, I crouched next to him, urging him to stay with me, holding him and supporting his head. I yelled for a stethoscope since mine wasn't with me.A few more jerks and his body stops moving. I start to check his pulse but I couldn't feel anything. His neck, his wrist, and I could feel no movement at all. Almost immediately, two official personnel run towards me, in blue overalls and masks over their faces."Step aside, ma'am." One of them, the female says. Carefully, they tak
What the hell is the blood room?I'm bamboozled with information and a hasty welcome. "Alright. But ma'am, what section will I work in?" I ask, hoping to not piss her off. "General medicine." She answers, hurriedly, as she wants me out of her office soon. "But you can also do whatever you want. I don't care." "Alright then," I say, picking up the leaflet and ID card. "I guess I'll see you on Monday then."She sends me off with a grumble.Here was I thinking I'll have to go through HR, administration, and those other departments.I go through the leaflet and try to familiarize myself with the place and people. I even found the store room and bunk room. I was very much interested in the latter because it was clear now that I will be spending more time at the hospital than at home and even when I have a chance to go home, I won't be able to go half the time.I gave up after half an hour of looking around and talking to new colleagues.By the time I got downstairs, I was sure I had come
"Let me go! I do not want to be with you. Don't take me anywhere, please." I plead.But does he listen? No.He continues to go forth, while I pound my weak hands on his back."Let me go!" I plead.But he doesn't listen. He takes several turns and passes through alleys I've never gone through all my days in Gayville and I start to fear being kidnapped. "Where are you taking me?""Home." He answers from beneath his mask."Home?! Sounds like you're abducting me. Can you please let me down, please?!" He doesn't answer me anymore. I can imagine that a smirk is grazing his lips right now. I look around for help. No one was in sight. Where are people when you need them?!This thief is obsessed with me and he's taking me away to God knows where.I am scared, in pain, and confused but soon, from my upside-down view, I see our house. And in front of it was my landlord, Rogers. One look at us and he dashed inside the house. I am honestly surprised at his rapid escape into his part of the house.
Leo doesn't listen. He continues unbuttoning the shirt until it's all open, revealing the lacy brasserie I have underneath it. I snatch back the two sides of the shirt and hold it close, covering my body but he takes my hands apart and opens them again."Stay still." He commanded, dissolving my resolve. "If you fight it, it's going to hurt a lot more."His gaze is direct, never missing mine for a beat. Desire swam in his eyes. I wonder if truly he wants to sex me right here. His fingers roam my belly for a while once again causing goosebumps to erupt on my skin. "Please, I do not want it. Don't do this." I beg.He rises from his sitting position and climbs into the bed. I fear my bed will break into two from his weight and how deep it dips. He is positioned such that he is almost on top of me. His hands move from one end of my belly to another and then upwards, towards the hem of my bra. "You have a wound here." He says before he takes away his hand and reaches for another ball of co
Her doe eyes are wide open, both desire and confusion in them, causing their blue hue to be even more prominent.She holds on to me like she's afraid of letting go.Fuck!I said I wasn't going to do this. I wanted to keep the thoughts about her that I had inside my head. I wanted to keep her eyes clear and innocent.But right now, with those eyes looking upon me, I'm half worried I'll lose my shit.Her brown hair against her skin was a sight I'd continue to remember even after a long time. It was a sight I am unwilling to share with any other man on the planet. I preferred it like this, as opposed to how she held it in place earlier or how she popped up to the date I was supposed to have with Sofia, with the large bun sitting on her head.This is better.Coily brown against spotless milk.The date an
"You're going to go now?" Her voice was low and unsure."No. Not yet." I place a quick peck on her temple. Gracefully, I slid down her body, open her legs wider, mindful of her ankle sprain, and look at the pinkish plump down there. I feel a tremble in her legs as she quaked with expectation. I could also feel little me rising, resurfacing, and becoming hardened merely at the sight of that beautiful delicious-looking cunt. It is like a flower, intricate and beautiful. For someone who has never had sex, I was surprised to see that she had a clean shave, leaving all parts of her flower bare, open, and alluringly visible."Not yet. Not yet". I repeated in my head.The sight of her vulva is making me rethink my decision. But before I change my mind, I bring my face to it and give her a sweet long kiss. She moans again and just before she tightens her hold on me, I slid off the bed and head to her bathroom. 
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
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
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! A-C-E! in case you can’t spell it.”“The information that reached us last night said that Leo was invading the Halloways Hospital. If you are not Leo, then what are you doi
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
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
Mr. Edwards brandished the gun with a mischievous smile on his face then said, “I sent you to do business for me and you were not afraid to run away with my money? 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
