"I must applaud your hard balls. You turned out more smarter than I could have imagined." He says after ages of shrieking stillness and life-threatening staring. "But you and I, can never be equal. You are nothing, Ella." He adds, dropping the gun and scratching his head with it.Ooh, we are not? Definitely not. But my guts are something that he can't stand nor believe. That is beyond doubt."I don't think so, but it's alright. If that is what you want to believe, I won't try to hurt your ego." I retort."And you can go ahead and think that you have won, but I can tell you for a fact, Ella, I can get rid of you in a snap of a finger." He argues.Smirk! How comical is that! He should have done so a long time ago."Then why haven't you done so?" I challenge."I didn't know until now, but with what you have done, I want to make you bleed before I finally send you over to your parents, while I take over everything that belongs to your family. That will be your punishment." He affirms, bu
One week!It has been seven good days since the news about my plea for justice broke out. Seven days since I became the talk of the nation, and seven days since the country declared war against all aspects of inhumanities. My speech has touched millions of souls in the country. It's not just the government that is fighting this, but the citizens too. I am happy. I am beyond overwhelmed!Yesterday was the acme of all the seven days. There was a protest precisely for justice for my family. It was a pure bang of sensual euphoria to see people walking and crowding the city streets with flags flying high, my family's name scripted on them. If only I had a way, I would have joined the riot, or even just thanked them. But I am caged here. But not for so long, according to my plans.For those seven days, the monster has been a total mess. He has not been his usual monster self since the news came out. He stays here for just a few minutes, but those few minutes drag like eternal hell. He never
It has been a long while since we sauntered inside this room. We have talked and talked and we are still talking."Jeez, I can't believe this is you. I mean, us." Terris says as we finish our dinner.Who can believe it? Terris, and me, like this? Even I can't. But believe it or not, the day has been fabulous. I have learnt quite a lot about her, except why and how she ended up caged by that monster. It seems like a very sentimental topic for her, and I don't intend on imposing so much. I also haven't opened up wholly to her, but I am getting a feeling that we will have more to share in the near future.I agree with Dan. These girls have been impacted in a negative way by the nightmares they have lived through throughout their stay in that brothel. They are traumatized. They are unstable. They need a lot of care and understanding. "Me neither. Hey, once again, I am sorry. I wasn't a saint to you either. " I respond."I understand. It was all my fault, though. If I didn't get on your n
Tossing the phone beneath the mattress, I nod to Terris slightly as I start my way out, the thought of Dan's incoherent tone when he heard her's still jangling in my head. I am baffled by that, but anyways, that is for later. Right now it is time to meet that monster.I don't think it's wise for Ajay to see me and Terris together. He should keep thinking that we are still mortal enemies. He might put too much meaning into this. I slam the door behind me, leaving Terris inside.Ambling downstairs, I find the beast lounging on the settee with his eyes closed, too calm for my liking, like a lion ready to strike. He always keeps a gun with him, and right now, he is stroking his face from the nose up to his forehead with it repeatedly. His disposed gigantic trunk is heaving up and down from his massive breathing. He doesn't look approachable. I don't think I should talk to him right now. I should probably wait for him to calm down a little, if that is even deemed to happen.Before I could
Curling up under the warm duvet, my hands scuffle against some turbulent bare skin that is inevitably neither mine nor is it appealing at all to mine. I peel my eyes in a snap, catching the blinding luster of the befalling morning rays, and my gazes stumble upon with Ajay's owl-like eyes perched on my face. Sigh! I don't recall us getting under this duvet together last night. After that talk we had yesterday, he became wild mute. He turned abnormally mute the rest of the evening. I knew he didn't leave the house even until I went to bed. But I reckoned that he would. I hadn't expected to wake up with him beside me as if he merits that right. What a disgusting site!Catching a glimpse of his upper body on display like this spins my mind a complete degree, making me slink my hand beneath the duvet. I sigh in relief after feeling my clothes on. I even had to rub my thighs together just to make sure. There is no soreness, nor am I wet. Thank heavens! I should sigh out another puff of re
Meeting my sister once again overwhelms me to the cliff of ecstasy. It felt like we were separated for years and not just a week. As we embrace in this emotional hug, I crave for nothing but the day we will be free from this bondage so that we can live our lives freely. And that hikes my zest for vengeance."I thought that that monster will never give us a chance to meet again." Aida says after we pull away. The hug had taken forever, which is why the monster left us because it didn't seem like we were ever going to break the hug, and I guess he has a phobia for emotions such as this."I couldn't allow that to happen. I have just found you, Aida, there is no way I was going to let him separate us ever again." I say as we crouch on the bed.I may not recollect how exactly we were separated, but I know it was hell. I won't allow another separation. No way!"I hope you didn't do anything crazy." She says, dissecting my wounds. She is about to replace the bandages. The monster doesn't wan
I'm all flushing white with new bandages, and having a smooth dialogue with my sister, but we are disrupted by the door opening, the monster sauntering in. He took too much time than I had speculated, but he still came back too sooner than I would have wished. It's not like his disgusting presence has nor will it ever be appreciated. Beh! But yeah, actually there is. This one time, this fateful day that I will put an end to him, ooh I will be so delighted to see his face. Only then!"I hope you have made everything clear to your sister about how I want things done." He speaks, parking himself before us."We clearly understand your rules, uncle." I respond as Aida and I stand on our feet, ready to start our charade with this oblivious moron."Good. Now I hope you both know what is in it for you if you mess this up. I will not show anyone any mercy. Are we clear?" He airs his threats once again, ricocheting his dreadful eyes between me and Aida.Mercy! Smirk at that! Better yet, spit at
Jostling my legs in haste through the hallway, I find myself smacking the door to my room open. I run inside. I am seething inside and throbbing with fury as I flip the drawers open, my hands crashing with each inside as they rummage for that one thing.After finding it, I tuck it on my waist under the hood, blasting the drawers shut as I pick up my pace again heading outside. I don't remember closing the door behind me, and I don't even care. It's not like someone would steal anything in there anyway. All I want right now, all I care about this minute is to see that monster devil.How dare he? How could he? Those innocent children have no freaking fault in whatever feud that he has with me. How can he do that to them? I want him to explain, that is if there is any fucking factual reason for his cruelty towards the innocent children."What the hell took you so long?" Ooh, I am here already? Can I just simply blow this monster's brains out once and for all and set everything right?
Our long sweet and cheered kiss is cut shot by Deep's phone buzzing. We were not intending to stop this beautiful moment any time soon for any reasons, but this might be important. We pull away albeit unwillingly, and I had to bury my face in Deep's chest as he receives the call.Uuu! I can't believe we are savoring peace at last. This sometimes felt inconceivable, but I am glad we finally attained it. Ooh, hail God, and I am sorry. Forgive me for those times when I felt like you had closed all the doors and windows of heaven on me. "Love?" Deep calls, stroking my back, and I jerk my face to him."Mmh?!" I ask."It was a call from the hospital. Hannah is asking for you." He says."Is she okay?" I implore."The doctor didn't say much. She only said that you need to go there right away." Deep says, and that doesn't sit well with me.The day is so young and fairing on well. I hope nothing ruins this or anything else forever. I hope she is okay. And her poor baby too."You two can go! I w
"The police have told us everything, Ella. I, on behalf of everyone else, apologize if we didn't understand your course. We are sorry for every single thing we said about you behind your back." One girl says after a long decade of hugging them in groups.God! How many are they again?"It's alright. There is nothing to apologize for. There was nothing to understand in this place. What matters now is that we are all free." I assure her."And it's all because of you, Ella! We owe you our freedom and our lives as well." Another girl says."No. Listen to me, girls. No one owes me anything. If there is someone we should be grateful to, it is these devoted officers, and these two gentlemen who risked their all to come into this war. Nothing would have been possible without them." I say, but Dan steps forward, Grace in his arms.Have they made up already? I thought she was over the edge with remorse towards him. The way she is snuggling to him, huh! What happened to 'I don't want to hear his
"Ella! Babe, please don't!" Deep pleads on behalf of the police."What now, Ella? You might not be able to quench your thirst for vengeance. Your lover is pleading with you, and the police are ordering you. What will you do?" Ajay speaks, and I cock my head, and flicker a weird grin at him."I will do what is right!" I whimper."And what is right, to you? Be careful what you want, baby. Your conscience and your emotions are so weak. Can you handle the weight of my blood in your hands?" Ajay challenges again."Until your ghost manages to torment me from now on, I don't think I am weak, Ajay. Your death will never torment me." I say."Maybe, but you will end up in prison if you kill me. You heard the authorities, didn't you?" He speaks again."Drop your weapon, Ella, or else...""Or else what?" I bark at the police officer who is acting like the 'high and mighty Mr order'. "You are going to arrest me for killing this monster?" I implore."It's the law!" He asserts."Then to hell with la
It's total chaos on this road. I'm sure this will be on the news tonight. I'm even afraid to check the speed at which he is precipitously driving at. I have howled and pleaded with him a million times to slow down but my pleas and cries are falling on his deaf ears."Fuck it!" He condemns as he slams the phone onto his lap. He has been trying to conceivably call the club but with no response all those times he has tried and that is not only aggravating his wrath but also endangering our lives.I am hugging the poor tiny thing as tight as I can with one hand while I hold on to my seat with the other since the safety belt doesn't seem to work today. I am fretting and convulsing in my seat from the phobia brought about by his savage driving. My heart is throbbing somewhere in my throat and my stomach feels like a bag of ice."Watch out!" I scream, and just by a slight gauzy miracle, he swerved right in time to evade the oncoming lorry. "Could you please slow down for God's sake!?" I scre
"I see you have miraculously survived. How did you manage to manoeuvre my men, huh?" Ajay asks."Did you think you are the only slippery jerk? You think you are the only one with an army of security? Well, good news, I also do have my battalion, and here is some bad news for you - your men are no match at all to my men. They are being butchered like some fucked up incompetent helpless fools that they are." Deep scoffs."You must be joking! My men have the best-high quality guns. I personally train them and you, boy, don't have the skills except that of holding that toy you are holding. Do you even know how to use it?" Ajay mocks back."I would love to do a test for you, but I am not as heartless and insensitive as you, Ajay. It's too much of a chaos here and this isn't the place for this at all. The police are on the way up here. Surrender in peace. This is the end of the road for you, Ajay!" Deep says, and that blew the monster's cool."Police?! How the..." He starts, not believing h
Two hours later!It's been freaking two whole-deadly hours of dread ever since we left that cursed club with Hannah, and about forty minutes of anxiety, panic, and dread of waiting in this lobby. God knows how nervous I am ever since Hannah was taken into that room.Our hospital, the Silvano hospital has always, over the years since its establishment, had a thumbs up in every service we provide. I have no disputes whatsoever that Hannah is in the best safest hands. We have the best doctors, some from the prominent country of Cuba, and I have absolute faith that they will do their best for the survival of both Hannah and her baby. But these forty minutes feel like the forty years of terror that the Israelites spent in captivity. Gosh!"You are so restless. What's the matter?" The monster remarks, holding my hand to stop my pacing.He seems too cool for my liking. He is even more cooler than a raw cucumber. What does he have to worry about anyway? He must be mulling over the best and mo
Taking the stairways, Ajay has summoned a squadron of guards to get the cars ready. As usual, he doesn't go anywhere without his goons, but that is none of my fusses right now. I need to alert the girls and Deep too.As we pass by the rooms, I draw from the crowd of goons escorting us little by little while Ajay is on the call trying to call I don't know who.By sheer chance, and without spurring any alarm, I manage to skim inside my old room as they make their way forward.There is no time to sigh or even thank God for this, but I manage to murmur another short prayer to God as I find the switch and flicker the lights on, rushing to the drawer where I normally hide the gadget. Finding it, I reach to the upper drawer, meeting with my two babies - the guns. I grab them, and tuck them under my jeans. I scour for some long trench coat and slid it on top, buttoning it all the way up.I swipe my phone, making a call, and crossing my fingers in the hope that he is sti
I am whizzing a cheerful hymn as I help this monk prepare the dinner in this house that we have been sharing for weeks. The glee of what tomorrow holds for me is throbbing with rebounds in my heart, shaking its walls, but I am doing everything I possibly can to suppress the tickling thrills.It's almost one after midnight. In a few hours, doom will occlude the evil, and the good will shine bright.I am still in incredulity at how serene this place has turned into ever since I made that pact with Ajay. The activities go on around as usual, but the tranquillity that has beffallen this place is beyond ingenuity. No murders, no extraneous cacophonies, and no superfluous squabbles. It's like this is no longer the club that we all knew.The monster has embraced humanity or is at least trying as far as I see it. Mental note - I have not fallen for that completely. I don't know where he hemmed that monster side of him, or where he borrows all this humanity to showcase, but too bad! This shift
Standing on the door of Terris' room, I take in a deep breath and heave out as much amount before knocking slightly on her door, and practising patience as seconds feel like hours before the door flings opens.Her angelic face pops up, with no discernible reaction or impression at all. No astonishment, and no questions on her face, and neither is there even a subtle glimmer of appreciation. It's like my presence means absolutely nothing to her. Honestly, it maims me. It stings so bad because we had just started getting along. She had just asked if I could take her as my friend too and I don't even recall responding to her that time. I didn't have any qualms whatsoever, but we just had a zillion things to talk about. Now here we are, back to oddballs again. I understand her sentiments, but I am albeit clenching on tight to the hope that the yearning she had when she asked me not to leave her behind when I leave this place is still stroking her heart, or at least, there is still love
