I was pissed. Max refused to let me have more than two bottles of beer. He had said he didn't want me to get drunk.
He was a good friend and cared about my well-being, but that didn't stop from having this urge to continually punch him in the face."Give him a fruit juice like limeades with ice cubes in it. He needs it to cool his brain." Max told the bartender and I shot him a death glare.
"Stop doing this to yourself, man. Ruby would want you to be strong wherever she is. You're acting like shit."
"You are shit." I insulted.
"You're making a big mess of yourself."
I knew he was right, but I just ignored him. I was tired of repeatedly hearing such words. I just wanted Ruby back

MiaLife was unpredictable. And comical. The least things we expect, occur. Putting a stamp to the fact that, the only thing that is constant is change. That people change. Even the most rigid cold hearted person, could turn into a big softie, in a blink of an eye. Could soften at words that touched their hearts.I couldn't believe all that had happened. It was too good to be true. Making my chest full with invisible bubbles. Confusing the shit out of my senses.I heaved deeply, when I allowed my thoughts to flip over to Alex.At first the almighty Alex, had cried over what I had been through. It was the last thing I expected from him of all people. He was a hard man. Nothing moved him. He could be the meanest person ever. Always making use of harsh and hurtful words on

MiaWhen Alex's car drove out of the compound, I decided to take the dogs out for a walk. To free my limbs and my mind off him.The estate was big, and filled with wealthy people. So I could see people jugging and carrying out exercise. And they were staring at me, like I was someone foreign. Plus the dogs were huge like horses, making people back away in fear.I was in their middle, holding their massive chains. My hair was in a messy bun at the top of my head. I hadn't had the time to shower or brush my hair. I was putting on my cotton see through shirt, shorts and flip-flops.I felt a little bit free, like a normal person, like didn't have problems and my life was at risk."Are these dogs yours?" A guy who was jogging at my side, asked me in a fak

MiaI froze when I turned around to see the owner of the voice.It was no other person than Rachel Okafor.Holy freaking Molly.What was she doing out here? Where are her body guards?She had her behind rested against her range Rover Jeep. Dressed in a black expensive, official business suit pants that was ironed to crispy perfection, and black stiletto heels. Her artificial long blonde hair was pulled back into a pony tail. Her make up was light. Giving her the exact Barbie girl look. A Barbie in suit, that had this authoritative aura around her.I haven't talked to her before, was deprived off the opportunity to see her or speak with her one on one.But here she was, because she wanted to see me? Why?

MiaI was feeling itchy, sweaty and gummy all over, so I rushed into the bathroom to take a long long bath.I carried on washing my hair at first, because it was damp with sweat. When I was done, I gave my body a thorough washing, brushed my teeth, scrub and gave my tongue good lashing, before making use of the mouth wash.I stepped out when I felt human again, and wore a white rob which I discovered in the wardrobe and was towel drying my hair, humming along with the birds on the trees, when I heard a gunshot.I shuddered and the towel fell off my hands.What the hell just happened?Was that really a gun shot?I was contemplating on if it was really a gun shot, or it was something different, until I heard anot

AlexFlashback, Military Academy, Dopemu, Lagos, Nigeria. Thirteen years ago."If any one of you make an attempt to run away, because you're chicken enough to face difficulties, then good luck because you would be running through the forest, with no food or water for five days, and die of starvation or get eaten by wild animals." The captain that was dressed in a tailored button down black uniform, with a silver metallic barge at the pocket of his left breast, yelled at us the newbies. Leaning into his Jeep, he took along drag of his cigarette, and blew out curly snake-like puffs in the air.We were in the middle of valleys, mountains, and hills. To top it all, a giant forest.There was a straight colter road that led to the dorms, offices, training ground and the school, M

AlexScoffing, I went to join the rest of the boys, to get we and our belongings checked.After that, we were pulled into a shop were we got our hair scraped bald, because we were newbies.I wandered through the school premisses endlessly, checking for the dormitory that was called 'Sharks' The place was freaking huge.Unsurprisingly, Sharks Dorm hadn't looked inviting as I had thought it would be. The more I stared at the tag on the door 'Sharks Dormitory' the more it felt like I wanted to enter a lion's den. I wasn't frightened, no. It was just that I was new here. And they guys who would be my roommates, had stayed here for years."There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you. Oh, I can see you already found your way here." A voice interrupted me from my thoughts, an

AlexThere was this sharp abrupt pain that overwhelmed my all.He went to join his minors in front, and Hakeem slowly and steadily walked up to the door. Locked it, and threw the key away."You're so dead." Chuks growled at me, then groaned in agony with his hands clutching his stomach.Damn, this was a war I wasn't going to win. They were five, huge, and it was just me. Who felt minuscule next to them.And with that, they started throwing hefty punches, and kicks at me. Making me groan in agony, as I scramble on the floor, looking for ways to escape.But there wasn't any way. The door had been locked, and the steady pains from the blows and kicks were excruciating.I could feel my body being swollen to pulp, and my eyes were g

AlexYou like her. There hasn't been any woman who stood up to you, challenge you, and put you right in your place like Mia has. My subconscious pointed out the obvious, making me exhale in defeat.I couldn't get the kiss of my mind, it came haunting me. Even in my dreams.I came to actualize the fact that she was avoiding me after the kiss. The way she had clamped her fingers protectively over her mouth, and stared at me in shame, made me unsettled. No woman had ever done that before. They were all satisfied I kissed them, and would even respond to my kisses. Something which would lead to sex.Would you have fucked her, if she had wanted you to? My subconscious shot at me.Damn! He was being a perv today, and wasn't helping matters at all.And no. I wouldn't have had sex with her. She needed hug and comfort. The last thing to give to her was sex.

AlexAn old woman, and a boy who could barely move his limbs came and held Mia as they wept. At this, I knew it was her grandmother and her cousin brother.My brain couldn't properly align that she was gone.I was still hugging her body to myself, as I wept, until I heard "Bolu."Instantly I snapped my head back, and saw one of the cops rushing to the lady who was on the floor. It was the same lady who had taken the gunshot for Mia.I stared at the lady closely, until I saw that it was Bolu.Taking my mask off, I left Mia in the arms of her grandmother, as I quickly walked up to where she was laying on the floor, in the pool of her own blood.The cop and a little girl was crying so hard, as they held her.And I squated and took one good look at her. Wondering why she was there in the first place. And why she had taken the

AlexWith my eyes, I searched for Mia, but I couldn't see her. It was other people who where tied with ropes, and had rags in their mouths.Tunde Ibrahim who had sustained a bullet on his leg, was on the floor. And he had a gun pointed at a female who was decorated in bruises, and had her clothes coated in blood.I looked closely, and saw that it was Mia.My heart moved to my throat at this, and I felt weak right at that instant.Mia looked half as dead, and I could tell that I stopped breathing.Just as Tunde Ibrahim pulled the trigger, I saw a lady from nowhere diving in to shield Mia away from the bullet.And when the bullet got through her neck, and she slumped heavily on the floor.This happened within the space of two seconds, and I shot Tunde Ibrahim on both hands. Before I rushed in to Mia.She was

AlexThe two cops accompanied me down to the basement, after adding more bullets to their guns.I could recall how Kate had told me, one of them; the tall fair one to be precise. Had saved them, when Tunde Ibrahim had sent a bomb.I knew if I hadn't shot the man who intended shooting him, he would have been as dead. Because he was out of bullets at that time.Him and his colleague had stared at me wide eyed, after I had shot and killed the other Tunde Ibrahim's man, who had wanted to kill the colleague.On getting to the basement, I kicked the door opened with my feet, and gunshots where behind fired at me. But for the fact that I was clad in a bullet proof all through, made no bullet to penetrate into my body.Taking steps backwards, I shot at these men, with the cops at my behind, assisting me.The more we moved backwards, the more they

CharlesMax and I exchanged gunshots with some of Tunde Ibrahim's men. It was really easy, because I was quite scared I was going to be shot dead. Even Max had fear evident in his face. We had our backs against eachother as we hid and shot at these men.It was one of the most difficult situation I had ever been thrown in, because we were surrounded by these men who where shooting at us from different angles. But God was still guiding us.The fact that Tunde Ibrahim had my mom and daughter, was worth panicking. I had no idea what he had done to them. If they were still alive or not.Max and I had killed most of Tunde Ibrahim's men, and it looked like two where still remaining, and hiding at some corner so they could shoot us.Just then, one of Tunde Ibrahim's men jumped out from his hidden place and aimed his gun at me.I tried to shoot at him, but then I r

BoluIt looked like something was on going outside, that most of Tunde Ibrahim's men started running out.Gunshots and screams could be heard.And on seeing how Tunde Ibrahim and the remaining of his men were rendering hefty blows and kicks on Mia, was making me sick.There was a pool of blood on the floor, and Mia's face looked swollenly covered in blood.Guilt stung me deeply, that the pace of my breathing became fast and uneasy. Because it was partially because of me that she was in this condition.I had been blinded by hate and jealousy, to see that Mia was innocent. I knew Alex, he wouldn't fall for a despicable person. He had fallen in love with her for his own reasons.Something I was too angry and jealous to notice.And now, she was thrown into this situation because of me.Like a beast, Tunde Ibra

CharlesThroughout the drive to Tunde Ibrahim's house, Max and I were panicking, to the extent that Max even wet his pants.I was trying so hard to keep my emotions in check, and it really wasn't easy.Tunde Ibrahim had my daughter and my mom, and I didn't even know if they were dead or alive. But I chose to believe that they were alive.Meanwhile, Max had lost all hopes.He broke into tears like a baby, and despite that I was in an anxious state, I still managed to talk to him. That everything was going to be fine, and we'd have our families safely. But Max still refused to believe me. His facial expression was like his world was crumpled, and there was no hope of restoring it.Even me too was scared, because Tunde Ibrahim had my daughter and my mother, but I still managed to stay strong. Because if I acted weak, then it meant I was willing to accept the

AlexOn getting in front of Tunde Ibrahim's house, I made sure I took hold of my bulletproof mask. My whole body was clad in bulletproof, before I wore my clothes.I wore a face cap, so it would be hard to recognize me.Then I banged loudly on the gate, and when I heard a masculine voice demanding who I was, I told him I was the pizza delivery guy.The peephole of the gate was flung opened, and a white milky eye stared at me, and the pizza I was holding in a suspicious manner.Before closing the peephole back. Then my ears kicked in the dangling sounds of heavy keys, which read that the gate was being unlocked.Blowing out a big puff off breath, then waited.The gate was finally jerked opened, and I stepped in.Right there an then, I saw an heavy raccoon of a man, with other shirtless guys who had bullets as necklace, and guns in thei
