She was so different from all the ladies I had come across. She always spoke her mind, and feigned nothing. Unlike most ladies who were good at pretending. She didn't even give a care about the way she dress. And I would've sworn that she could put on a garbage sack, and wouldn't mind.
We hopped out of the car and made our way to the house.
"So, you live here with your family." She inquired as she followed me into the house. Pushing her glasses up which seem to be falling down every second, because of how small and delicate her nose was.
Why was she so carefree after the incident that occurred an hour ago? Hell, she was acting like nothing happened back at her apartment.
"I bought this house." I informed her, and then watch her jaw drop. She blinked

Charles"Now that she's recuperating, she needs proper care and attention. You need to be there always. If she's left alone, I'm afraid this will happen again. So, young man, her life is partially in your hands." Dr Murphy, our family doctor informed me. He has been our family doctor for as long as I can remember."Alright, I've heard you doctor. I'll stick to your advice." I said shaking hands with him, with that, I strolled out of his office and headed straight to her ward. But I refused to go in and let my presence be know because of guilt.Flash back"How could you have been so careless?" I bellowed with fury, glaring so hard at her."I'm so sorry, Charles. I truly am. I was gone for a few minutes to talk to an old friend. Ruby was so engrossed

Bolu"You guys did what?""We had-"Yes!" Jordan squealed, interrupting me from going on with what I had in mind to say."I've not said it yet." I chuckled playing with the spoon inside my ice cream. I was at a bistro, having lunch and gossiping with Jordan over the phone."I know." A pause, I could hear the chattering of pots and pans "You know I'm busy in the kitchen right now." There was another pause. "That's it, done." I heard the slapping of palms together. My heart swelled up with amazement, because Jordan was at home cooking for the family. What a relief. I hummed in satisfaction at this. "So tell me again girl. You and Alex actually did it together, huh?""Yes. I still can't believe we did it, it was all like a dream. Jord."

BoluI walked up to her, then hunkered down to her height, so we were on the same eye level."Hey big girl, you don't know me and you want me to be your mom? How the hell is that even possible?" My eyes widened immediately and I bit on my tongue, when I realized I just cussed in front of a kid.This made her giggle."Cause you're the nicest of all the ladies I've met. They either hit me, or push me away. Calling me all sorts of bad nanes. Like dirty, flirthy and stupid." She wiped away dirt from her face with her palms. "l am not dirty, neither am I stupid. And you're the only lady who haven't told me that."I could feel a huge smile forming on my lips, she was so smart and well spoken. Definitely not a street kid."What's your name?"

MiaIt felt like I was having a hangover, when the screeching of Alex's car tires woke me up that afternoon. I was a light sleeper, even the slightest noise could wake me up.I got up, groaning at the one sided headache I was beginning to have. What the hell? It wasn't like I consumed cans of beer, boxes of pizzas until I got drunk and barfed my guts out. Jesus H. Christ. What the hell!?I slowly got out of bed, cursing whoever the hell that whined my windows glass up, and put the curtains out. Something that made the harsh angry sun, an uninvited visitor, make it's way into my room. It nearly sent me to my feet."Shit!" I hissed through gritted teeth, shielding my eyes away from the sun, and then accidentally staggered into empty cans of beer.

AlexThe door of my office jerked open, and my secretary bursted into my office. Panting."Mr Friedrich?" The habitually calm and cool-headed girl, whisper-yelled my name. "I told her you were meditating, that you weren't seeing anyone now. But she wouldn't listen to me."Calmly, I raised my head up from the giant book I was reading."Anything the matter, Miss Hampson?"She nodded, keeping her clothes in check. "She ordered her body guards to forcefully push me out of the way, and made her way here all by herself." With that, she stepped aside and let the woman make her presence known at the door of my office.It was no other person than Rachel. Dammit.She was looking authoritative and wealthy as usua

MiaI had had enough of him, and I was going to leave his house that moment. I was stupid. Stupid to have agreed to live with him. He had no right to treat me like that. I scoffed when I realized Alex was treating me like an animal, and was treating his dogs like humans.I had no clothes inside the wardrobe, all my clothes were in my bag. All I did was changed into an ill fitting shirt, my grey short, and my flip-flops."Get out of my way!" I yelled pushing Alex's hard chest. But the guy was so strong. He didn't even move an inch, change posture or move stir. He had his arms folded and was standing at the exit. This caused his muscles to stand out in the long sleeve shirt he is putting on.

AlexI turned to face her and saw her hand rested on her chin as she watched at me. I couldn't help but admire the sight.The sight of her on the bed, soft, innocent, was so fucking beautiful that I clenched my jaw hard, fighting the sudden swell of emotions in my chest.I stared down at her lips, they were so full and pink. I knew she would never put on a lipstick, but her lips were perpetually pink like she always wore one. I couldn't help but imagine how it would taste like, how it would feel on mine. And how she would let out a moan.Would it be loud, inaudible, shaky or forced from her throat in helplessness?Darn it! What was wrong with me?How could I welcome such wayward thoughts into my mind? I swallowed hard

Bolu"Good day." Said the girl who flung opened Alex's doors when I had knocked after three rows. She had big eyes, a very tiny nose and a wide mouth. Her medicated glasses were on the bridge of her nose. She was putting on an oversize shirt which I suspected belong to Alex. Jean shorts that displayed her long long legs. She was quite pretty and looked like a fresh face teenager. Jealousy embedded and flowed as I stared from her face to her legs. She was really skinny but had nice straight legs which were a little bit hairy."Hey, when you're done checking me out, you can tell me who you are. Okay?" She said as if we were making an agreement. As she frowned at me. She was even two inches taller than me.

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
