Bolu
"Hurry up!" He barked at me, pulling me away from the sink. That I couldn't even rinse my mouth, and make use of the mouth wash.
He was acting like one who was on hard drugs. Like he was being controlled by something. I couldn't believe this was the Sam I used to know.
"Get your things, let's fucking leave. Now!" He pushed me towards where my bag was. And I hurriedly picked it up, with my shivering hands growing sweaty. Because I was scared. I didn't want to go with him. I didn't want to run away with him. I was carrying Alex's child. And Alex needed to know. He had every right to know that I had his seed in my womb.
This made me awfully sad. That tears started welling up in my eyes.
"Let's go, now!" Sam yelled over my head.
Then he pulled me by the hair, and started dragging me out of the house.Something that caused pain to shoot through
MiaI couldn't remember how I walked down to the road, or I entered a cab. All I knew was that, I was inside a cab, yelling over at the driver for being to sluggish and to increase his pace.Tunde Ibrahim's man who had been texting me, had instruct me not to take the busiest roads of Lagos. Because he thought somehow, I was going to involve the cops.I was glad grandma Felicia was alive. That she didn't die, and it was all a lie. But what was worse, was that she was being abducted by Tunde Ibrahim. Because of me. Including Alvin.I tapped on the cab driver to stop, and hopped out of the cab. Paid him his money, and slammed the door shut.I started walking, until I saw the abandoned school just as it was described over the text message.There was a footpath at the back of the school, and I followed it untill I saw a big building surrounded by thick bushes.
MiaThe gate was flung open immediately, and i was dragged in by a big beefy hand.Fear started surging through me, and moving through every of my insides right at that moment. And I wished I was anywhere than here.I had come. Had come to meet with Tunde Ibrahim, for him to finally take what he wanted away from me. My life.It had been three months that I was running away from him, and to save my dear life. But it was all going to be over now.Swallowing my saliva out of fear, I snapped my head up to look at the person, and saw a scary looking giant, with a milky colored eye.Instantly my knees began trembling that they gave out, and I felt them on the floor.It felt like some strange powers were coming out of him, and affecting me greatly. Making me so weak that I couldn't even move a limb.This giant pulled me up by the collar, and
AlexWhen I arrived at Mia's grandmother's house, I couldn't find her there.The house was even unlocked, when I got it.The faint scent of feminine floral perfume made me realized that she was there before, and had left.I dialed her number countless of times, but it wasn't going through.This made me anxious and extremely worried.And then, I had no idea if it was because of me getting worried, but it felt like I was having a trance.I climbed the stairs soundlessly and watched them from my hidden spot. They searched around for me, until they accidentally collided into each other. They parted ways to search for me for the second time.Fools. I grounded my jaw.The guy who had Mia on his shoulder didn't keep her down as he went in search of me. Instead he carr
Alex"Hello, Alex?" Brown said over the phone."I think we've got to go with the plan today. He's got the girl." I said, with pain clenching my heart so tight, that I was finding it unable to breath. Mia was finally in the hands of Tunde Ibrahim, and it was all my fault. I could have looked after her at the hospital and not let her out of my sight. I was supposed to take care of her, to protect her like I had promised."Shit." Brown cursed. And I face palmed in distress. All I needed to do, was to act fast, so I could save her. I and Brown had already planned on how we were going to get rid of Tunde Ibrahim. But now that he had Mia, things were going to be extremely difficult for us."So how do we go about with the plan?' Brown asked me, as I was making my way out of the house, and heading towards my car.After blowing out a big puff of breath, I replied. "I'd have to go there myself, distract
Charles"Are you being serious? Tunde Ibrahim has got Ruby?" Max yelled, with his eyes widening in their sockets. He had this look on his face like he couldn't believe what just came out of my mouth.A gasp left Lolita's mouth, and her expression mirrored Max's own. Her baby had woken up, as if sensing his mother was in the state of shock.Lolita blinked repeatedly, as she stared at me open mouthed. Like what just came out of my mouth had crumpled the living day light, out of her.I said nothing, but curled my fingers into fists. Wanting to punch something, or someone.I hopped out of the car, and then slammed the door shut with a loud thud.I couldn't believe Tunde Ibrahim had my daughter with him. He had sent his man to go kidnap Ruby, when she was at school.Only God knew what had happened to my daughter, at that moment. She was in the
BoluThey arrived at Tunde Ibrahim's house, then pushed me in. Down to the basement, shoved me in, and then closed the door shut.The impact of being pushed in, made me stumble on the floor, and generated pains all over my body. And right at that moment, I felt nauseous. Because it was my stomach that hit the floor, and I knew it had affected my baby. Something which made me really sad.I thought I wasn't going to be mistreated, but when they had been treating me like a slave all along. Like I had in anyway done something to upset the monster, Tunde Ibrahim.The fact that Sam was dead, was really painful.Yes, he had been a psycho. Acted like someone I didn't know. But I didn't expect him to get killed so soon. Had no idea he was working for Tunde Ibrahim, and was sent to come abduct me. But attempted running away with me, because he was obsessed with me.
Mia The person who was sniffing inside the basement was grandma Felicia, and Alvin had been beaten into an unconscious state. I had told Grandma Felicia how it all started with Tunde Ibrahim. And everything, with tears streaming down my cheeks. She was weak, but she told me not to cry. That God was going to rescue all of us. But I doubt it. I couldn't believe I was going to come out alive, after everything. I felt terrible that this happened to them, but I was still glad that they were alive. There was even a woman, and three kids. They all had rags stuffed into their mouths, with their hands tied at their backs, so they would be unable to speak or move. I had seen all of these, while I was on the floor. And I wondered why they had all those people in the basement along with me. I thought it was going to be just me. And the next thi
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
MiaI was alive, and it was a miracle. Because I had completely given up the ghost, and had woken up, right when I was taken to the morgue.I had survived death twice.After six painful months of getting treated in Indian, I was put on a wheelchair. And the doctor said it could take a year or two, before I could start walking again. Because Tunde Ibrahim had completely broken my legsThe fact that Bolu had taken a bullet for me, and had died, made my respect grew for her. She had exchanged her life for mine. And it was something I would forever remain grateful for. Though I still lived witj guilt, because everything she had suffered before death, was because of me. Was even pregnant for Alex. And had risked her and her baby's life, for mine.Something which always made me cry, inspite of me being in a terrible state.Alex didn't cry out. But it I kne
CharlesThe fact that Bolu was dead was still too hard to comprehend.It had been three weeks after her funeral, and it felt like it was just yesterday. I had cried so much, because I loved her with everything inside of me.She was buried on a cold Friday evening, with her parents and relative crying non-stopingly.Alex didn't join anyone. He had stood and watched from a distance, dressed in all black. Tearing up himself, that I couldn't even hate him anymore.He had cared for Bolu in his own way. And the fact that she had died with his baby, was taking a turmoil on him.I had loss Bolu, but the fact that we were all safe, made me not to feel completely lost.Bolu's death was something that really affected Ruby, that she chose to stay mute and refused anyone coming close to her. She deprived herself off food, personal hygiene, and cried he
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
