I was frozen at a point. I could not understand how the police got there without making any sound. I looked out of the window and discovered that they came with their vehicles. How come we heard no siren blasting from a distance as usual?
“I know you are in there Leo!” the voice came over the speaker again. “Don’t even try to escape because the house is already surrounded.”
Never have I been traced to the place of my operation before. How did they even know I was even there? The guy that escaped must have called the police. Thank God I still had my crash helmet on so there was no way he could have seen my face.
I have no fear for myself as much as I have for Ace. I have signed up for this. But as for him, he does not deserve to end like this. I looked at him and very unusual, he was having a smile on his face, totally unmoved. His gun was ready in his hand to shoot any officer that walks thr
A familiar smell filtered into my nose as I lay on this spacious bed that the king of my heart always sleeps on every night. It was a smell I can recognize even from afar – the smell of Leo, the one they called a loser, yet won my heart without a price.I knew I was deeply asleep and the hold of the alcohol I took at the party could not let me out of bed even when I have laid there for so long.“The one you have been waiting for is back for you. Wake up and have your fill of love,” a voice said to me still in my sleep.The voice echoed like a beautiful chorus. It sounded so sweet and rhythmic, too good to be the voice of a human being. It must be the voice of an angel inviting me on to make use of the moment I have longed for, a moment that seems to hold the key to my happiness for the remaining days that I have to live.Oh! This must be a dream! A sweet dream that
I could see he loves it, the touch of my hand on his temple. I gently placed my mouth on the tip and rammed it for a moment. It continued to get harder until I could feel every vein of it as I ran my mouth on it, taking it in, every inch of it.His hands were holding me firmly on either side of my shoulder as if he was scared that someone would come to get me from on top of him.His grip on my shoulders became weak as my saliva graciously greased his man, giving it a shining look as if it was rubbed with jelly oil. There he was, the great Leo, losing control under me.He started moaning, first slowly. But as I continued to work my tiny lips on his temple, the moaning increased. The faster I was going, the faster he was moaning. I could see he was loving it so I kept at it.My eyes were closed. I was inexperienced. I never really want his temple to cry out into my mouth. I just want to get him high to
“What is wrong this time around? Why are both of them calling me almost at the same time?” My troubled mind continued to ask me repeatedly but there was no answer forthcoming.I was obviously too engrossed in too many things lately to have a clear head.Whatever is wrong I don’t know but I must find out before it is too late. I remember the last time they were both calling me like this, it was the police who were looking for me.“What could it be this time?” my curious mind posed another question to me that I could not still find a logical answer to.Whatever benefit people get from this alcohol is definitely not for me. Last time was the second time I remember taking it and it is already holding a gloomy outcome from all indications. If only I was not weakened by the effect of that alcohol, I would have answered the phone and would have known what was
If one had told me that I was coming home to meet what my eyes are seeing as I stood at the door to Jakes’ room, I would have doubted. Not even the best of gods and goddesses could have made me even have the least believe that it could happen.But I guess that is life right? That shit can be so unpredictable. You never can tell what would happen next, even with your eyes fully opened.That is what my life has become these days, surprises popping up here and there even when I least expected it. First was when I walked up to Leo and asked that he pop my cherry. Strange that I told that to a total stranger whose face I could not even make out because it was covered with hair. But yeah, I did!The shocker came the next day when I learned from the police that the one who I desperately wanted to throw my precious woman treasure at, was Leo, the famous faceless thief!When I was yet to recover from th
There was no way I would have known who sent the message. If I had known, I would have been trembling when I first received a beep sound in my phone.When I opened the text message and wanted to read it, the name of the sender was the first thing to catch my attention, maybe because it was written in bold letters; Lucas Halloway!“Lucas what?” I screamed.A text message from Lucas Halloway is something to worry about. Even though the message was already opened in my hand, I could not bring myself to read the content of it. I was just staring into oblivion, scared to read what he wrote because instinctively, I knew it would be nothing but trouble.I should have wondered how he got my phone number since we never see eye to eye. But I know getting my mobile number is not an issue for him, at least I work for him. But what could be so important that he is sending me a message?&n
As Lucas kept his eyes fixated on mine, they were burning with fire. Whether of passion or anger, I don’t know. I might be able to tell the two apart with others but not with the strange man that was tormenting me with his looks. I was literally sweating and I know he could see what wickedness he was doing to me.One minute he was angry, now he looked calm, very calm that I would he was not because it could spell doom at the end.Are all Halloways like this? Having dual personalities!Maybe he is trying to get information from me. This can never be a normal look.“Is he trying to flirt with me?” I thought.“You might soon have to choose between working in this hospital or staying with that loser called Sabastian,” he dropped the bomb.I wasn’t expecting that. He got me confused. I don’t know how the discussion g
There I was, eyes closed, tongue out full length, kissing the guy I thought was Sebastian. The stress I had been through got a better part of me that I wasn’t thinking.The smell of whoever’s mouth I was kissing was different from that of Sebastian. Though not repulsive, it was still strange.“This cannot be my Sebastian,” I thought.I stopped abruptly and who stood before me was unimaginable!Brian!I was kissing the wrong guy for the past thirty seconds or so. No wonder I was not getting any response from him.“Oh my God! What was I even thinking? This is just not happening!” I yelled so loud on the inside.I could see the shock on his face. He never knew why I did what I did and might be thinking I was into him already.But no!There he stoo
When I finally got to the doctor’s office, I was told that he was seeing someone and so I could not go in immediately. It wasn’t his fault, I was late. I looked at the time and yes, I was truly late, thirty-five fucking minutes late!The option left for me is to wait. There is no way I could all the way go home without seeing the doctor. I really want to know the state I am in and if there is any hope for me at all.With the advanced technology around the world, it is not a hopeless case. But how could a helpless orphan that could not even pay her rent, let alone send her kid brother to school foot the bill of chemotherapy?I slept off in that hopeless state. Was it a sound sleep? Not at all!I don’t know how long I slept, maybe for thirty to forty minutes. But I had terrible dreams, very scary dreams that seem to last for a whole day.In one of those drea
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
