last update Last Updated: 2022-10-25 08:04:00

It was hella difficult for Debby to move through the rest of her working day when something as huge as the weight of what she just learned sitting heavily on her shoulders.

When she was done by evening, without even her usual gay goodbyes, and without even knowing how she packed her stuff into her bag, she went. 

She went home.

And no, not Sophia's house. But the apartment she lived in with Jacob.

Drawing closer to the building, after she finally arrived at Gayville, Debby was reminded of what Sebastian said concerning the ownership of the building.

Just like that, she was a building owner? She was just minding her business and just like that, she's now a landlady of a two-story building situated on a promising land? She even wondered if he bought just the building or the building as well as the piece of land it was erected upon.

Debby couldn't bring her

    Debby spent her break the following day at work, after work, reading up on leukemia and its forms and causes.This bloody blood cancer.She went ahead to look at her family history. Someone in her family had blood cancer and of course, that someone was her dad. He was said to have died and she began to wonder if her dad had leukemia long before he gave birth to her.Because, if that was the case, then probably she must have inherited a faulty gene from him but then again, she wondered how long he's been with the faulty gene.That was the only explanation for this occurrence. She began to be curious about how her father could have gotten cancer in the first place.Debby looked up all forms of blood cancer. Yes, she was a doctor and should know already but the depth she went to with studying the illness, it could be understood that there was a hunger in her soul to find some sort o

    "Excuse me, but that's none of your business young lady.""What do you mean by that, old man? I want to see very good things happen before I die. Plus, you get to enjoy sweet and delicious meals like this if you're married. I don't understand how you've not asked her on a date all these past years."But the man had ignored everything else she said, halting the gathering of the takeaways he was doing and looking at her square in the face, "are you dying, Debby?"She had gulped. "Uhm, No." She said, defensively. "Even though we all die a little every day." The man arched a brow as if to say she was spewing nonsense so she added, "Take what happened with my abduction for example. I could be long dead. It just comes suddenly. Do you know what they say about life coming at you suddenly? Yeah, the same thing applies to death.""I'll ask her to when the time is right." Was the next thing she heard the docto

    After she latched the lock of the door, sure that the place was private enough for them to have their conversation, she turned to face him looking at her with a funny expression.Before she exploded, she shifted her gaze from him to look around once more, ensuring that no one was anywhere in the bathroom, behind a bunk, in the air, or something.Then she faced him after dropping her bag, and said, maintaining her stern voice, "what the fuck are you doing here?"He looked at her funny as if she asked a stupid question. "What do you mean what am I doing here? Hello, it's my hospital. I can come and go as I please.""Like I do not know that it's your fucking hospital. The question is, what are you doing here?""Babe, you shouldn't nag me when you've just seen me for the first time in days. I know you're mad but I'm here now. I am here to see you."

    Her gasp made heat zap to his groins.Once upon a moment, hadn't he told Deborah that she has the decision to be with him as Sebastian or not?That she could decide to just be his partner in crime? Hadn't he shrugged and said that he just needed her to be there, by his side?Why then was he trying to make it be fixed, this decision?But again, he thought, that the choice was given to her to make. Never did he say he was not going to try to make her want him.He dipped the finger deeper into her chest as if trying to separate the mounds of flesh packed in there and held firmly by what he greatly suspected to be a ballet.She loved to use them and he had noticed.He made the finger move from one boob to the other."Aren't you just a pervert, a flirt, and a thief altogether?" Debby said, closing her eyes, her long lashes

    Debby called Sophia.The very moment she stepped outside the hospital, after leaving Sebastian aroused and hard in the bunk room. For once, she felt powerful, and like with all forms of power, this one was consuming as well.She didn't want to let go. She reveled in the desire that she had for Sebastian, who was always in control of her.Now that she had a taste of what it felt to be like to be on top of the game, being in control, and making the moves, Debby wasn't willing to let it go.So, with a smile, she exited their little place of temporal intimacy and apology and made her way downstairs, amidst curious-filled eyes that followed her as she advanced towards the door.She ignored them. That was the best she could do. For now, at least. She hadn't gotten the hang of it but she was going to live life according to her terms now. With so little time to live, especially liv

    Sophia was not exactly bothered by Debby's news. However, she was greatly surprised. How possible was it that the man popped out from nowhere to ask her out to a dinner event?"Is there something you're not telling me, Debby?" She inquired.Her friend remained calm. "Uhm, apart from the fact that it's going to be a temporary one, nothing. I'm telling you everything.""Temporary one? Is it a contract or something?""Yeah, something. Something later that."Sophia couldn't believe her ears. Where was this boldness coming from?"Are you tryna take this relationship contract thing to the next level? You know, making it a side hustle or something?"Debby laughed lightly."Nah, I'm just living a little. And why, I learned from the best." She indicated her with her bespectacled face."Nah, not me."&

    The first visible sign came.When she brushed her teeth in preparation for bed, Debby spat out sputum into the basin, the red of blood standing stark against the white foam of worked toothpaste.She rinsed her mouth immediately, her legs shaking. It was probably time for her, with this first indication, to see a doctor like she was advised.But she didn't want to. She didn't want to have the words thrown directly at her. She didn't want to come face to face with the fact that she was wasting away, even if her body wasn't quite showy of the ailment. Given, she had lost weight, so much that her tightest jeans could fit her properly again, and then, there are these bleeding gums but still.People would think it's simply mental stress.But then again, there is that too.As she plopped into her bedroom, managing only to reach the bed, her legs wobbling with

    She proceeded into the building, not paying heed to the whisperings that surrounded her. Or the fingers pointing. Or the sneer she was looked at with.Of course, they'll refer to her as a golddigger.She took more deliberate steps towards the elevator. When she got there, she was trapped with four people, a male who seemed clueless and three women that looked at her like they each wanted to pluck out her eyes and some strands of her hair.She ignored them.On the sixth floor, she met with professor Tedd."Good morning sir.""I have surgery in 20 minutes. Do you want to scrub in?" The man replied, not regarding her message.He said it like a question. She could agree or say no. But she knew it was not entirely a question. neither is it a request? The man was asking her to join him."What's the procedure?"

    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

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!

    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.

    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

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.
