ALFRED:My knees and hands were growing weak and numb at the same time as I sat down on the chair in the hut pushing it back and forth recounting on the altercation I had just had with Anna a pang of regret crept in my heart. “I think I crossed the line. I shouldn't have argued with her about planning to kidnap her kids when I was fully aware that she hates hearing me talk trash about them.” I thought out loud, biting my under lip. The guilt gnawed at me, a constant heart pain that refused to subside. I had acted rashly, driven by anger and fear, and now the consequences were looming large, “I have to ask for her mercy so we can settle things once and for all.” I sprang up on my feet shaking my neck back and forth, cracking my fingers so loud before stepping out to search for her. I don't mind if I was the one at fault or she was the one at fault. The only thing certain is that I have to ask for her forgiveness so she won't see me as a bad person. If I can be able to win her trust
MIKE:I woke up feeling quite dizzy which was unusual for me. I couldn't wrap my head around the cause of the dizziness even though I've been trying so hard to think what could be the cause of my dizziness.Could it be because I haven't received a call from Anna yet or the strange text I received from her or the response I'm still yet to get from the private investigator. I pondered out loud in distress in deep thoughts while picking myself up from the bed sluggishly to go to the bathroom to take a quick shower. Knock! Knock! “Alpha Mike, the kids are waiting for you to come join them in the dining room.” one of my workers addressed me through the door. “Tell them I'll be joining them shortly. “ I picked up my face towel to dry my face properly. “Alright, Alpha Mike.” The young mistress nodded her head before making use of the stairs to inform the kids.A deep sigh of relief crept underneath my breath, “Anna, your kids needs you at this point. I don't think I'll be able to keep up
MIKE“What did you just say Andy?” I queried him with my defensive eyes. “Mike, I want you to tell us and stop waving off my countless innocent questions.”“Andy, what have gotten into you?” Mandy and Sandy both stood up from their chairs, gawking at their young brother who was ever ready to take the bull by the horn when it comes to matter involving me. “Shut up your mouth, Sandy and Mandy!” His hands hung up in the air instructing them to keep shut. Both Sandy and Mandy were in awe of what was happening before them. Most times, I try to convince myself into believing that Andy is just a little boy who grew up with so much love hence the disrespect but with the way he's been acting up lately I think he is an adult in a baby's body. “Can't you guys sit your ass down and ask your silly self where mother went? For the past how many days we haven't heard from mother and you think it's okay. Answer me!” he banged his fist on the dining table, splattering the cutleries on the floor.
MIKE:My eyes stood upright at the sound of the notification that came through. I didn’t want to focus my attention on the fact that it might be a notification from Anna after the last text I got from her left me afloat.“I hope it’s something positive,” I whispered the words under my breath.As much as I’ve always been an optimistic fellow I still find it so hard to be positive about Anna’s dilemma. Everything about her sudden disappearance kept me abridged.“Common Mike you can do this!” a sharp tiny voice flew past my ears, summoning up the courage to reach out for the phone.Like the flash of light, I ran to my desk, picking up my phone to open the text message that had just popped up on my screen earlier.My mouth fell down in shock, “What! How come?”My legs were suddenly getting cold and numb at the same time, finding it so hard to stand for that long just to absorb what I’d just read. I reached for my bed to sit, “What exactly is going on?” my hands ran through my hair figurin
MIKEThe tightness of my arms rested on his chest, waiting for him to answer the question I had asked him earlier. “Answer me! Who are you?” I pulled him closer to me and pushed him back harder than before, my heart palpitating. I watched the unknown figure who was fully clothed with black from his head down to his toes, brought out a heavy envelope from the back of his clothes and handed it over to me without saying a word. “Envelope? For what?” I queried him, eager to know more about why he handed me an envelope. The unknown figure muted himself without saying a word to me. I couldn't even see the person’s eyes to know who I'm dealing with. “Can't you…” the unknown person pushed me off without hearing me complete my question with so much power,running so fast without turning his face back to see if I was coming from behind. I held the envelope in my hands looking at it for minutes,”What could be in here?” I pondered out loud, turning the envelope back and forth, “Who might ha
MIKE:“How do I present this news to Anna? What will she think of me?” I wailed out loud in distress my hands still placed on Sarah’s unconscious body. “Who did this to me? Where exactly are the kids? Where have they gone to? Who took them?” I bit the underneath part of my lips, fighting back the tears from breaking out. “I think it's earlier I report everything that had just happened right now to the police. It's best if they follow everything up right away.” Slowly I lifted Sarah’s head and placed it gently on the sofa. Calling the police and reporting them was the best decision to take. I knew that my brain hasn't comprehended all what happened but I still need to take action the earlier the better. I reached out to the telephone that was hung in the wall and called 911. My hands were vibrating as a voice behind the phone call responded to my call, “How may I help you?”“I've been..robbed and my kids are missing. I need an ambulance…right away.” I stuttered with my speech, spea
ALFRED:The day slowly started drifting to dawn and Anna was no where to be found. I don't want to believe what the guards told me about her. No matter how bad they want me to feel about their conviction I just feel a certain kind of way inside me that there's no way Anna would have left the pack without being caught. “No! Anna, can't leave here just like that.”Muttering the words quietly under my breath despite the fact that my heart was racing so fast.I've searched every corner of the palace from the hut where I last saw her and now to the garden but she is nowhere to be found. If her hearing about my plans about her children is enough reason for her to hide in a place that's more secured for her then I wouldn't burge further having known that I know her location.But, for the fact that she had to run away to hide without giving anyone of my guards her location is one of the major reasons for me to be mad about her decision. “Hey! Come over here!” I yelled at the innocent guard w
Anna. The harsh weather improved greatly as I hid in a corner near the garden so. I wouldn't get caught by anyone working for Alpha Alfred. I've been hiding there for the past two hours as far as I could remember and no single guard or anyone who has been frolicking round the corner and axis of this palace has seen a glance of me. “It's best for me to hide in here until the coast is clear so I'd pave a way to leave this place.” Examining the roads I muttered to myself, my eyes moving from the left down to the right to see if I can find a way out. I was ready to get myself out of this pack to go protect my kids at all cost no matter if it ends up costing me my life. I was sick and tired of playing Alpha Alfred games with him without finding a way out for myself. “Even if I don't end up finding an escape route while I'm still in this enclosed corner I don't mind.” I said to myself, reassuring myself with optimism. I knew trying to escape here wouldn't be an easy one for me so I wa
AnnaMira gave me deaf ears ignoring the question I asked her earlier while she carried on having fun with my kids. “Am I not asking you a question, Mira?” I challenged her my hands vibrating in anger with the way I saw her playing with my kids and having a close relationship with them. She dropped Sandy who she had on her lap and tossed her face to me, “Don't you have regard for your kids anymore, Anna? Why are you creating a toxic space for them?”Out of annoyance, I walked over to her, pulling her up from where she sat with her hair, “How dare you speak to me about my kids in such a manner, Mira?”“Mummy, do you want to hurt her?” Andy asked with a puzzled face as if he was trying to figure out all that was happening. “No, son. I don't want to hurt her at all, I'm only trying to protect you all from her. Do you understand me?”“Yes, mum!” They all chorused their answer in unison, nodding their heads simultaneously to conform to their response. “Thank you, my baby.” I bent over
Anna. “Get your stinky self out of my body.” Pushing myself away from his closeness I gave him a resounding slap. “Never you try this nonsense that you just did again, Alfred.” I warned him intensively using my hands to clean my lips. “Why are you so pissed over nothing, Anna?”“Pissed? Over nothing?” I busted out loud in a deep laugh shaking my head in dismay, “Alfred, you pushed me over to you against my own will and there you are asking me a dumb question of why I’m being pissed at you.”“It's not a dumb question, Anna.” He began walking closer to me, “You just have to admit to yourself that you love what I gave you.”I rolled my eyes taking three steps away from him even though he was still coming closer to me, “Alfred, can you please stop this drama?” yelling at the top of my voice I pushed him backwards on his chest from coming closer to me. “Did you just push me, Anna?” His eyes traced through his chest where I had pushed him. “Yes, Alfred! And, if you don't get to respect
Anna. Shutting the door of Alfred's study room was like shutting out the noise and garbage that came out of his mouth. I was getting sick and tired of seeing Alfred rotate me in circles as if my opinions and suggestions weren't valid. There was nothing I hadn't done to please Alfred even to the detriment of my mental health yet he still didn't want me to live the life I wanted to live. I was slowly losing my happiness just because I was being forced against my will to live in a place I detest with everything in me. “Why can't you just leave me alone, Alfred? Why can't you allow me to go?” slamming my fist angrily on the wall I broke down in tears of frustration and bitterness. I haven't even had the best of my life yet. When it felt as if I was getting to the pyramid of it all Alfred decided to ruin it for me by hoarding me and my kids in this damn place. “Goodness! I hate it here.” I screamed out silently not wanting to gather the attention of the maids and guards who were in t
ALFRED:Even though I gripped her tightly on her neck pinning her to the wall she still didn't open her mouth to mention the person she called. She looked at me coldly with her eyeballs but couldn't say a word at all. "For, how long do you think you can flex your muscles on me, Alfred?"“Anna, I don't want to be hard on you as you can see I've been holding myself back from doing something that I might end up regretting so just act all cool and tell me who the hell you called.” She giggled at my command and spat out her words on my face in disgust, “I won't change my words for you, Alfred. I'd rather have my blood spilled by you than mention the name of the person I called earlier.” She struggled a little bit with her speech because of my tightened grip on her neck. I felt so frustrated by the constant response I was receiving from her that I didn't realize when I lifted my hands to give her a resounding slap but she was so fast to wave her face off it. I pushed her off to the groun
Alfred.I wasn't feeling comfortable because the security guard was standing closer to us just to be sure my words weren’t filled with lies but the truth. The way he was looking at us made me feel a little bit restless and eager to act out of proportion but I still made my cool.On the other hand, it felt as if Anna was a little bit excited that the security guard who was standing right beside us came at the right time by saving her silly ass from getting hurt. “What do you think we can do about this situation?” I whispered into her ears so the security guard wouldn’t be able to decode what I had just told her.I wasn't ready to jeopardise all my effort for this skinny-ass security guard. I don’t mind bringing down my ego to Anna just to ensure that I get out of the situation.“Are you asking me that question, Alfred?” she raised her eyebrows, surprised that I'd be needing her help at this point. If it wasn't because I had lied that I and Anna were married couples I wouldn't be need
ALFRED.She went silent and didn’t feel any remorse for her actions while feeding me with her silence. Her breath only brought more heat to my face as she didn’t bother to say anything to me. The only thing my ears could hear was the heavy sound of her breath.“Have you suddenly gone deaf, Anna?” twisting her over with her hair so she could face me and look into my eyeballs directly, “I asked who the hell did you call while I was away.”Throwing her face down to my feet she gave me a cold response, “I didn't call anybody, Alfred.” I laughed out loud sarcastically licking the dried corners of my lips seductively, “Who the hell do you take me for? A child?” my eyebrows were fully raised as I questioned her curious to hear her response.“I never for once called you a child, Alfred.” she backed up her words still putting on a courageous face.“You must be foolish to think that I'm a fool to you and that you can easily brainwash me with your fake lies. What has gotten into you?”“Nothing
ALFRED. “Make sure you look after her. Don't you ever remove her eyes away from her and her kids? Am I clear?” Pulling the three guards from their ears I warned them vehemently.“But, we can't keep in touch with her when she is still with the doctor.” One of the guards spoke up with a shaky voice countering my instruction.“How dare you question my authority?” I spanked his tiny head growling out in frustration, “Most of the time I tend to ponder and ask myself how I was able to employ someone like you?”The guard groaned out in pain rubbing his hands on his head, “I didn't mean to counter your authority, Alpha Alfred. I was trying to state the obvious because it was going to be a little difficult to keep an eye on her and her kids.” He backed up his words defending my suggestion. I was getting sick and slowly frustrated having to discuss certain things with this blockhead because it was pointless proving my point to him. “Can you do the job or not?” Angrily grabbing him from his n
Alfred. “Thank you very much, Alfred.” She stood up from the floor where she was kneeling and wrapped her hands around my body. “Take it easy on me, Anna. Don't you know that your body stinks of dirt?” He shoved me off from the embrace I had on him, giving me a weird stare. “I'm sorry, Alfred. I did that out of joy and I had no idea that you'd end up feeling irritated from the way I hugged you in such a manner.” She felt a little bit dejected from the response I gave her as she moved back her steps. “It's fine.” I tried to maintain a smile but it wasn't genuine, “Guards!” I pointed my hands to the three guards who were standing at the entrance of the door. “Take this kid and meet us in the car right now,” I commanded them, waiting for them to act according to my words. “Okay, Alpha Alfred.” They rushed over to the kids lifting them from the bed as they all strolled out one after the other reaching for the car. I wasn't fully convinced by Anna's words but at the same time I just
ANNA. The guard went silent without saying anything to me. He couldn't even offer any help. All he was good at was standing at the entrance of the door monitoring the kids and I. “Answer the damn question I asked you, Dumb ass.” I almost spanked his tiny little head when the guard who had followed me from Alfred's chamber to where my kids were being kept held my hands from behind. “Leave me alone!” Twisting my hands off his grip I kicked him on his legs pushing him away from my side.“Can you please be calm, Anna? You are making it unbearable for us to think of the best solution to come up with.” He pleaded with me trying to calm me down with a sober tone of voice. Pointing my index finger to his face I gave him a stern warning, “Don't you ever tell me to calm down.” I took two steps closer to the guard, “I know you haven't trained a kid before not to make mention of kids so you really can't relate to the way I'm feeling right now.”The guard was ready to come for me because of ho
