Adrian's P O V"We meet again, SON." His Voice flooded my ears and I was struck with a serious brain cloud that left me Dazed for several minutes.I couldn't grasp what was happening and my swollen head didn't let me a chance to even try.How is he speaking to me right now?How can I see and hear him speak?How is he here?He- He's supposed to be Dead."How- How- How are....." I tried as much as I could to speak but my every utterance came forth as stutters."You must be Really surprised to see me. Well, let me tell you this. Real men never Die so easily." Came his response as though he could see the train of questions I had in my racing thoughts.I could tell I was conscious but I still told myself this is only one of my many nightmares borne from my traumatic experience with having him as A Father because there's no way he's actually here right now and smirking at me.His eyes left me and landed on my mother who seemed like she was soon to pass out where she cowered behind Anthony w
Jordan's P O VFew minutes ago, I stood in place wondering why Adrian's supposedly Dead Father was standing right in front of us but seconds ago, My entire life flashed before my eyes when I saw his gun swing in my direction and he fired without warning.My life played before me in slow motion while I froze with my eyes closed waiting for what was about to come.My head was too busy to make out the number of voices around me that screamed out in horror but I heard them all screaming softly in the background of my head while my eyes were held firmly close.The place went silent and the shot was fired but I felt no impact from it.What had happened?I was more than certain he had aimed at me.More so, I heard and saw him fire.I slowly peeled my eyes open and the first person I saw through my slightly dizzy eyes was Adrian standing a distance opposite me and the look in his eyes looked like he literally was about to shed a good amount of tears. I looked from him to myself in search of
Adrian's P O VBlack has always been my favorite.But right now that I had it on alongside everyone else, it feels more like a plague.Ava's cute little dress didn't get a chance to shine because the look on her face was that of grave sadness.She's certainly the bravest girl ever but I still wished there was anything at all, just a single thing I could do to brighten her even if a little.My eyes left Ava for my Mom who looked to be the most affected by the turn of events.Her tear sunken eyes looked as red and broken as ever and all I could do was gaze. Ralph stood afar off with Brittany wearing somewhat matching expressions on their faces and Fred stood nearby them with his wife's face buried in his chest.I swallowed hard after carefully studying each of them.I found myself in distress but not so much that I couldn't notice Jordan wasn't anywhere in sight.I recalled the last place I had seen her and thought she could still be there and after I took a number of steps away from t
Jordan's P O V I feel like life happened to me so fast and I must say it's particularly hard accepting my new reality but it stared me in the face. The little hug from Ava after I finished saying my last goodbyes to Dad was literally the only thing I needed at that point. I squeezed my little sister in my arms and was grateful for her existence. It feels as though she's my only gift from my father and I wished I brought her as much comfort as she did me. She's only just as old as I was when Dad left Mom and I in the first place so I alone knew how difficult it's gonna get and that too, seeing as it's a worse situation right now because he's never gonna come back, it really is gonna be a lot worse for her.Atleast, I clung unto the hope that he would return to me someday but she doesn't have a chance at that hope.She clearly knows he's never coming back. She slowly eased out from our embrace and I quickly wiped my face clean from tears with the back of my hand
Jordan's P O VI was a mess.An emotional wreck at the same time a physical mess because my eyes were not only swollen and red from crying but were also darkened down to little above my chin with the smudges from my mascara.I was still in that same state pacing around the place when my door flung open again."Mom please...." I said out in a weak and broken voice without even turning to see who it was and next, I heard short quick steps reach me from behind and before I could even think to turn so I could see who it is, the person's arms wrapped me from behind.The matching best friend wristwatches we got for both our single asses some valentines ago that sat present on the person's wrist told me who it was and with teary eyes, I turned to face Her and cried into her shoulder while she slowly rubbed my back without saying a word."I'm so sorry." She whispered close to my ears and all I did was nod and wipe on my face with the back of my hand a little too violently."I don't know what
Adrian's P O VI had just watched my Father get carted away with his hands cuffed behind his back and I felt absolutely nothing.He faked his own death and He's been dead to me for several years so i prefered it stayed that way.I probably hated him the more for what he tried doing to Jordan. The original files pertaining to my hotel were retrieved and now in my possession. Everything seemed to be alright now and there was no other issue asides from My Mother giving me a thousand and one reasons why I shouldn't go be with Jordan like I plan to but for the very first time, I found myself only thinking to go against my Mother's wishes.Too much have come between me and Jordan up until this point that I wasn't gonna let my own Mother be the stumbling block now. I couldn't just let that happen.I literally walked out silently with nothing but utmost determination to go grab the woman my world revolves around and preferably take her with me far from here. Away from the rest of the world
My very own father left my mom and I when I was just eleven. It has been twelve long years already since then and that is exactly why i should perhaps not feel this way about my mother's new husband to-be but I just can't help it.It really does sound extremely selfish of me but I do not like him one bit. He's nice to my mother and she adores him so much but he's not my father! He can never be.She although seems particularly happy ever since they both got together over a year ago and yes, I hate the idea of a new father at this stage of my life but I was more than willing to tolerate him just for my mother's sake."Jordan honey, please tell me you're all dressed up" my mother's voice called out from behind my door and before I could think of a miracle or perhaps some magic spell that would somehow rip my towel off my body and get it replaced by my all too serious ball gown my mom insisted I put on, she barged in then sighed in what seemed to be disappointment when her eyes ran down
Honestly?The only thing stopping me from literally smashing the bottle of hot sauce right on this Jerk's head was the fact that both our parents were present at the table with us and seemed to be having a very good time which I wasn't going to ruin by letting myself get any more annoyed by Ralph who couldn't seem to stop touching me with his feet from beneath the table where our nice meal specially prepared by Mom laid out on the table top.I did think of sinking the tip of my heel into his feet but decided against it. Besides, I didn't wanna attract any form of attention to myself.I planned to just be present, speak only when spoken to or whenever necessary and then get the hell back to my room once all of this crappy dinner is over."So Jordan, you must be excited for the wedding right?" The other woman whom I suppose should be Fred's sister threw her question at me just when I was beginning to enjoy my plate of roast duck."No! I am not excited for the wedding and no, I do not

Jordan's P O V The strange man who is the reason I'm being held captive moved away from me after having whispered close to my ears and he returned himself back to his wheelchair still with a disturbing expression on his face and everything about him was questionable. I mean, who uses a wheelchair when he walks perfectly fine. And why does he have a resting evil face? I watched the man look into his wristwatch then rolled away almost completely out of sight on his Mobile chair while I studied him intently still trying to place an identity on him but I couldn't agree with the growing thought in my head because the door was soon thrown open and a troop of people I very well recognized buzzed in. I couldn't keep my eyes focused on them all at the same time so I kept my eyes fixed on the one I had yearned for the whole night up until this moment and he also had his eyes directly on me since he barged in. His steps towards me increased greatly especially when he noticed
Adrian's P O VMy verbal exchange with Ralph soon ended when we both followed Brittany out of the house and were met with a strange thing staring us all in the face."Is this how you recieve your mails?" I questioned as Brittany crouched down to pick up the little enveloped letter we walked out to meet right in front of the doorway after we stepped outside."Who sends mails when you could just text?" Ralph questioned while Brittany flipped the envelope in her hand back and forth probably in search of words but it was plainly blank."How did this get here?" She questioned to no one In particular and I frowned when a thought dropped in my head."This wasn't here while I got here. The real question should be, Who brought this here?" I pointed out and they both kept silent for seconds before Ralph rushed steps away from where we stood towards the curb and while at a spot, he turned his neck from left to right in search of anyone who could have possibly brought this."There's no one in sig
Jordan's P O VMy eyes slowly fluttered open and what followed was a sharp groan that escaped my lips when my previously shut eyes came in contact with the light that invaded my sight.I should have been confused as to where the hell I found myself but surprisingly, my memories came to me alot faster than I had expected.I remember being hauled from where I stood by the school's yard and I also remember being thrown into the hideous looking van like a sack of potatoes but what I don't remember is the face of whosever sent a blow to my head nor do I remember what any of his colleagues that yanked me away look like thanks to the ski masks they had on at that time.This is the second time I'm finding myself in a situation like this just that this time, I'm all to myself and I had nothing to ponder upon as to why anyone would wanna abduct me.No reason I came up with made any sense at all and all I did as I sat there on the cold floor was slowly Blink my eyes open so I could behold the fa
