Mia was right, I needed a break. Ever since she left my study, I couldn't concentrate on the book in front of me. I couldn't breath despite the air conditioner was switched on. My whole body was on fire.
It was like I was locked up in a cage with no ventilation. It felt like I would collapse if I didn't leave the study. So I left the study.
It wouldn't hurt if I took a break from everything. To live a little. Just like she had pointed out. What was it like to be out in the open, just because you had to leave the house?
After a quick hot shower, I put on my clothes.
"Who died?" Asked Mia, when I had knocked on her door, and she flung it open, few seconds later. She had freshened up, and was in clean fresh clothes. With her hair in a bun, and her glas

Alex"Let's go to the karaoke bar." Said Mia as we made our way towards where I had my car parked. It was eight thirty in the evening and a lot of people were heading home."It's late, and I have books waiting for me.""And here comes the old Alex." She pouted, buckling her seat belt. Sleep was completely erased off her eyes this time. And she looked active again. "This is the last I'll ask of you tonight. Please, please, please. I want to sing.""Remind me never to go somewhere with you again, after today." I replied as I started the car. But I didn't mean it, I wanted to go different places with her and try new things just like the way I did today. I wanted her to take shots of me, with me unaware. I wanted to use any means I could get, just to hug her. To get close to

Wondering who the hell put the Alarm clock out.It felt like some one was hitting my head with a hammer, because I was having an heart shattering migraine."Fuck!" I hissed, and then let out a moan that sounded muffled against the pillow I had my face on.When I completely flicked my eyes open my, I was nearly blinded by the harsh aggressive sunlight which, shone through my windows.Who the fuck put the curtains out this time!?Groaning, I pressed my face tight

Alex"I haven't seen Miss Greta today." Mia complained, as she sat down for lunch."I told her to take the day off. She was not feeling too well when she came in.""Oh, poor Greta." That was her reply. And she helped her self with some pancakes and straw berry syrup. I didn't know why I did it, but I poured her a glass of milk."Thanks." She said giving me a beautiful smile. With that, she dug into the food.I ate my pancakes with my eyes fixed on her. I watched her everything, and every movement her hands made. The way she poured more syrup on her pancakes, the way she bit and chewed, savouring every bite with her eyes closed. And moaning in ecstasy. Christ! I just couldn't tak

Bolu"Hurry!""In a minute, I just need to fix this.""Fix what?""My eyebrows, I drew them wrong.""Do you even have to draw them?"It was Ruby. She was in the sitting room waiting for me to come out, so we could head to the park. She was impatient and wouldn't let me get done with the finishing touches of my make up. I could imagine her throwing her hands up in frustration, and pacing back and forth with her skinny legs. Blowing out a big puff of breath, like she used to, when she was loosing her patience."Yes, to make my face look perfect. I have to." I smiled, finally replying to her question."Your face l

Charles"She use to sleep out with the cats, at nightfall." The middled age man informed us. And his wife nodded in agreement to this. They were the couple who had gone to report that they had seen Ruby."It wasn't her you saw. Ruby is allergic to cats. She doesn't even go close to them." I replied rising to my feet to leave. Fighting the urge not to slam my fist against a wall, repeatedly.I clenched and unclenched my fists, ticking my jaw till it hurt.Max motioned for me to wait."You just saw a homeless kid sleep out with your cats and you assumed it was his kid?" Max questioned them.He too was angry as I was, but he kept a straight face. Unlike me, he was good at schooling his anger. Because if he let's it get the best of him,

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.

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
