They were driven back to the lodge and kept under lock and key while Rodney decided what he wanted to do with them.He did not know if he should still embark on the journey tomorrow or not. He was now really angry with Nancy. He had believed her when she had told him that she still loved him and had been ready to do anything for her but the hope he had nursed had shattered and he was filled with anger and wanted nothing more than to shatter her and her hope of having a relationship with Jason. It would be over his dead body before he would allow their love story to continue.He decided that he would teach Nancy a lesson but Jason must be made to see his lover punished and be unable to do anything about it.So he ordered that the captives be brought to his room.It was spacious and the captives we're tie.Jason was asked to sit on a chair and he was tied to the chair though his hands and legs had already been tied up ahead of time.Nancy was asked to stand.Then, Rodney asked the goons
Rodney was shocked at the way, Nancy hugged him immediately her hands were free.He had expected her to fight and struggle against him not to hold him as though welcoming him and asking him to take her.He could never understand women or was it another trick of hers?'What do you think you are doing? Do you think you can deceive me a second time?''I wouldn't dare. I have seen that you are serious and rather than antagonize you and force you into allowing your goons have their way with me, I'd rather submit myself to your ministrations and spare myself the pain of being raped even by you.I am not doing it for you but for me and my unborn baby. Hopefully you would take it easy with me and we both can have a nice time without either of us hurting the other'.Rodney considered this and felt it was a plausible enough reason for her actions. What could she possibly do? His goons are outside the door awaiting any danger signal from him and they could not even cross the gate and as well as
Suddenly, there was sound of a police siren coming their way and Jason heaved a sigh of relief.He was beginning to think that all hope was lost because what use was it fighting with one's fist against a blasting gun by a professional shooter?As he ran towards the rock, a bullet caught him on the shoulder, he still kept running and praying the police would get there in time.As he was about to jump behind the rock, another bullet caught his leg.The police came and so did the last goon to help Maze in the war outside the gate.The police asked them to stop shooting but they seemed to have gun deaf.'You are surrounded, surrender yourselves. Stop shooting. This is the police!'The shooting halted and Jason smiled at Nancy. 'We made it!' he said.Nancy could see that he was growing weaker.'You have been shot!' she screamed.'It is nothing provided that you and our baby are safe! I will be treated. It is no big deal'.'But it is!'She stood to call the police to send for an ambulance
Alfred had waited in the hotel for Jason to teach him but he hadn't and when he had called to find out what was going on there, Jason had not picked nor responded. That was when he started having the premonition that something was terribly wrong.To add to this feeling of unease was the fact that Richmond himself had not made an appearance. He could have called his sister but didn't have her number until he decided to check the phone directory where he got the mansion's number and called.He was surprised at the way the phone was picked up without delay and it was a man called Chris and Alfred guessed it must be Jason's in law.'May I speak with Jason please?''Who are you?''Oh sorry. I am Alfred. I was the one who went out on a date with Nancy'.he said.'So you are the one who has caused us all these problem', Chris said with amusement in his voice. ' A lot has happened since then. I am surprised you are not aware of it'.'Jason sent me to London to go visit Richmond's office and ho
'Nancy, you have to wake for me, please. You have brought so much light and happiness into my life.I know that we do not see eye to eye sometimes and we have rows but those are lovers rows. Lovers disagree and quarrel but that does not make their love for each other a lie. It rather brings them closer together because they understand each other better as a result.I may not have been listening to you the way you wanted and deserved in the past but I assure you that from henceforth, I shall do all that you say but you have to come back to me.Do you remember the joy on the faces of the children as you distributed the gifts you had instigated us to buy for them on that day of the party? I could never forget it and I thought that day that as you like bringing smiles and happiness to people's faces, that I'd do the same to you.And do you know what? It is not late and I promise you that I shall do it. I shall make you the best husband in the whole wide world. I shall give you everything
Jason stayed there weeping and speaking to Nancy's lifeless shape until he fell onto a deep sleep.He was woken by Chris who felt that he had stayed there for long enough and the children were getting bored with talking with him in any case and it was also time for Jason to take his drugs and be injected.Jason left Nancy's ward reluctantly. He knew that he had a duty to perform to ensure that all who did this to them were brought to justice and not allowed to go unpunished.He may have been a fool wanting to be the ideal citizen by leaving justice to the law and that was why he had not shot those criminals when he had the chance to.He had not stop regretting it ever since he woke. He would have gone ahead and shot them and claimed that it was in self defence which wouldn't have been altogether a lie.After his drugs and being injected, he tried to out on a cheerful face as he played with his niece and nephew for a bit.'Uncle, these bandages on your shoulder and leg, are they the pl
Maze had made up his mind to avenge his master and colleagues and the injustice he felt had been done to them and had decided to do that and stop them from testifying against them, he would have to kill both Campbell and Nancy.He contemplated the person to kill first and decided that it must be Campbell.He was the one who had come to the slut's rescue and had called the police. He was also the one who was conscious and could do more harm to them even before they were taken to the court if law.Nancy was already half dead though that did not mean that she would be left alone and given the chance to recover from her coma. She won't. After getting rid of Campbell, while on the attention would be on him, he would go and finish off the slut.He entered the reception in disguise though his weight and height was not something someone forgot easily.Then he went into the doctors' changing room and wore a lab coat as well as a nose mask.It was a big hospital and not all the doctors are know
Chris did not know if he should apprehend the person walking briskly away from what looked to him to be Nancy's ward or to rush into the place to confirm.He couldn't possibly accuse someone just because they were walking briskly away from somewhere. So he dragged his children hurriedly into Nancy's ward.She looked so white with the machines all round her. The atmosphere and appearance of everything was eerie.With thumping heat and trembling hands, he drew close to Nancy to feel her heartbeat.In his haste, he did not notice a moment in the room. The person who had got to the room a few seconds before him hid behind a curtain.He was sure now that this Whitman guy suspected him. Why else would he come to Nancy's ward from Jason's?Chris moved close to Nancy's bed and felt her pulse. It was very faint but it was still there and he heaved a sign of relief.He wanted to leave but something made him hesitate. He did not know what it was but looking at Nancy, he felt like staying a while
Josephine was already six and a big girl. She helped in taking care of her siblings.Yes, Nancy gave both to a set of twins. Both boys not long after Josephine came back home and they were three years old and terrorizes them in the house. Thank goodness for their elder sister who try to keep them in line.Nancy had thought that she would stay a bit longer before allowing herself to get pregnant again but since she and Jason could hardly keep their hands of each other, she soon found that she was pregnant again and had just given birth to a beautiful girl.'Get ready for another set of twins', Jason joked one day and Nancy threw a pillow playfully at him.'You think it is easy carrying them in the womb for nine months and then the ordeal at the hospital to get them out?'Jason hugged her lovingly. 'I know all that and I shall forever be indebted to you. I never thought I could be this happy. You have brought untold joy into my life and I can assure you that I am very grateful''You hav
Mattias took her to the new venue praying that he would still be in the men's trusted books.Like he had foretold, the security was tighter.But raising his hands and asking the ma'am to do the same, they were able to get within some inches of the place.'Comrades', Mattias calked cheerfully. 'I am the ma'am came back from prison where we had gone to see the boss and he had ordered that the little girl be sent back to her parents and that was why we came here to get her. I didn't know that she was to come with me, she was supposed to have stayed at home while I brought the girl to her but she has trust issues because she has not had dealings with us before. She does not know that there is loyalty amongst thieves'.But if that is the case why did you give us the prompt to vacate the place immediately?''The reason is because I was shocked that she had followed me to this place but she is our boss' wife afterall and it's her prerogative. If not for the fact that it will be somewhat risk
As soon as Mattias came out from the prison, Rodney's wife followed him. She was cunning and made sure he did not realise that he was followed.She followed him to a place where she was sure they were keeping Josephine.As soon as he entered, she sneeked in after him and then she saw the girl and those guarding her.'Mattias, who is this woman with you?'Mattias looked back only to find the boss' wife behind him. How had she followed him without him being aware of it? He felt that the boss was going to do away with him because considering what the woman had in mind for the little girl, the boss would never forgive him for such a skip and would haunt him down to the lowest of the underworld to get him and extract his pound of flesh from him.'Ma'am, what is the problem? If you needed something, you could have asked me for it and I would have supplied it''Mattias, who is she?''She is the boss' wife'.'Welcome ma'am, we didn't know that the boss would send you to such a place as this'.
Rodney, called Mattias and told him what he had decided.Mattias who had not felt very comfortable kidnapping a child was happy that his boss had reached such a noble decision as to give the child back to her parents.He wished though that he had made that decision before the deed was actually done. Taking the child back now was going to take all his wit's because he knew that there were searches everywhere for them. He had barely managed to take the girl out in the first place.'How does she look?' Rodney asked curious for the first time to know how Josephine looked.'I must say that she is going to be a most stunning woman. I pity the men. She will cause alot of heart break. She has dark hair and same colour of eyes as you. Now that I think of it, she looks so much like you'.Rodney smiled. It made him happy that his daughter looked more like him than her mother. It made him burst with male pride and made him more determined to do right by her.They were still talking when his wife
She could not believe what she was hearing and wondered what kind of fish brain the man she had married had.How could he allow someone to know the plan he was making even before he made it? What had given him such confidence ?She had known that Rodney was capable of doing what Nancy had said even without the threat he had made. He had alot of men of questionable behaviour which she was only starting to know since the court case, who were working for him. He could easily ask one of them to do his dirty jobs while he pretended in oven e in prison.'If what you have said is true, then the best place for you to have gone is the Prison. Go there and speak to him. Most probable, your tears would do what nothing else can do. I am a woman and I believe that he is still fascinated with you no matter how he tries to pretend that that isn't so'.'God forbid it!' Nancy said before she realised herself. 'I am really sorry. I forgot myself for a moment'.'For what? You just expressed your emotion
Nancy had been hiding her panic and impatience except for her occasional request to be told of the progress of the search that had been organized for her child.She could bear no more. It was close to a week now since Josephine was abducted. She feared to consider what may have been done to her or what miserable condition she had been kept.She had consoled herself with the belief that her biological father must have given instructions that no one should harm his child but she had no real faith in that assumption.The man was a beast and would not mind doing away with anyone or anything that stood in the way of what he wanted even if that person was his own child.Afterall, he had not wanted this particular child and had gone out of his way to terminate her life, what guarantee did she have that her suffering would touch him on any way?She had not been able to sleep well at night and that she managed to eat was because of the life growing in her She did not want to punish it for the
Jason walked home dejected He knew that he had no evidence that Richmond was behind his daughter's abduction but he knew that he was the brain behind it all. He masterminded the whole operation. All his threat had gone unheeded. He had not even boasted of being responsible because he had come prepared for any contingencies like recording his confessions,boasts and threats but he had been surprisingly in control of his emotions and why not, he must feel in charge nowImagine him congratulating Jason on his wedding to Nancy. 'It had made the papers and news for weeks on end. You have it all now, a wife- a doting wife and a child and soon more children'.It would have flattered him to hear that but it had not brought joy be ause he had also mocked him. 'I hope for this recklessness of yours, Nancy never gives you peace and the marriage that you thought would bring you happiness, let it turn out to bring you misery'.And he was indeed miserable since Josephine had gone missing. Nancy ha
The police did not find anything the previous day and we're going to continue their search of cars that dayVery early that morning, Jason set out to the prison where Rodney was serving term He had been there for about Two years and out of the twenty five years he was given, he was going to be out on parole in the next three years for good behaviour.He had masterminded that because once he had been convicted, there was nothing his wife could do except for him to follow the advice of his lawyer to act well so that he would be paroled.The prison Warden came to tell him that he had a visitor.' Male or female?''Male. What would you want to do with a female in your state?'He wanted to give him a punch on the mouth. Must he have any lascivious intentions towards any female that came to visit him? Couldn't his wife visit? Though not surprising, his wife seemed to have abandoned him. She was already paying him back in kind by having male companions when he was free since revealing her t
The car drive off in high speed. The man considered this the most dangerous job he had ever done and praised himself for coming out of it successful.He had never had to abduct a child before and that too in the presence of her parents.He wouldn't say the parents were careless. How could they have known that their child was not safe in their own premises? The child had wandered out and he had been keeping watch over the house for close to a month now and felt that he knew the grounds. He had not expected to kidnap the girl that day but luck had been with him and it was though his spirit had called out to the girl and the girl had stroll down to his path and he could not believe his luck. He had called her and she had refused to come close to him at first,then he had said he was friends to her dad and mum and where could he find them?She had relaxed then and trusting as the child that she was had pointed towards her mum and dad, while her attention was diverted, He had carried her.
