Mayor Lycan with seven-armed security men followed gingerly behind him, they ducked in the darkness when they heard footfalls.The building that Mora was kept in has three floors, the first floor is the one she was held, hostage.The building has a back and main entrance, and a large room that served as a reception desk before it was vacated for the operation.“I heard footfalls,” a voice said from inside, “are you sure man? It might be one of us” another voice responded with disinterest.“Let me check it” Torchlight beamed towards the backdoor entrance, as he walked towards it, Mayor Lycan have already envisaged this.So, they all leapt through windows and got into the dark room that was devoid of their enemies, but the door was tightly locked.The man who suspected the movements beamed his torchlight in several directions before he retreated, “I told you no one is there” his partner taunted.But he had a bad premonition and started patrolling the place, Mayor Lycan realized they ha
The one close to the door tiptoed and opened the door slowly, he peeped and saw no one.“Let's get her out,” he told his partner.The one holding Mora hostage shook his head, “Boss said we should keep her safe, we can't take her out while we are under attack” he protested.The other one stood helplessly and nodded thoughtfully “then, we lock her up, and support our men” “Okay,” his partner said and the both of them ran out of the door, he locked it and the both of them jogged away.The moment he arrived at the open space, the armed men hiding away, came out of their hideouts and opened fire.Thud!Thud!!“Ahh!” the both of them were shot down, Mayor Lycan came out and checked the both of them, he signalled his partner.Mayor Lycan straightened up and headed towards the room Mora was kept hostage.He kicked the door twice, and the door frame slammed on the floor, and he got in, Mora was tied to a chair, she lifted her head and saw Mayor Lycan, her eyes widened in shock.Mayor Lycan qu
Mora's eyes widened in shock, she stared at Mayor Lycan with an incredulous look on her face, and she became pale immediately.Her lips slightly parted, but no word came out, she was in shock, “what did you say?” she reposted in disbelief, her chest tightening.Mayor Lycan saw her reaction and deduced two possibilities “you shouldn't panic, the doctor is yet to confirm it, you have to stay in the hospital for one or two days” he said to calm her down.Mora nodded, she was scared, she clutch the bedsheet, and buried herself in her thoughts.Mayor Lycan left the hospital the moment Mama Sarah came in with their food, he reached home, and Pretty was the first person to welcome him.She embraced him, and clung to him tightly, Madam Vanessa wasn't at home, so the both of them went in together to their room.Pretty was particularly happy “Lycan, your mother spoke with my parents, and the both of them agreed on the date of our engagement,” she said smilingly, but, Mayor Lycan's heart twitche
He broke out in cold sweat, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his legs started wobbling.He fell to his knees and kowtowed several times, pleading “I am sorry, boss” he said repeatedly.The man wearing a hat smirked, and drop the gun on the table, he stood on his feet and strode towards the window, the corners of his lips twitched.He glanced at Mr. Stones, whose head is bowed and his body trembling intensely. “I would have killed you, but, the organization will be asking questions, I don't want anyone to know I have a daughter,” he said, and turned to Mr. Stones, who has raised his head to look at him.He nodded without uttering a word “good, then, find out the hospital she is in, and report to me” he instructed, and face the window.Mr. Stones stood on his feet, relief washed over him “I will do so, Boss, do you want to visit her?” he asked, but he took back his words and fled when his Boss's lips curled up.At dusk, Madam Vanessa arrived at the hospital, she wore an eyegl
At the Agora's family mansion, everyone in the family gathered for dinner, when they are done eating, Madam Vanessa looked at Mayor Lycan.“Have you decided the date of the engagement party?” she inquired.Mayor Lycan stiffened after hearing that question, he shook his head, the images of that night have started flooding his mind. He couldn't wait for his steward Philip to return, so he could find out what happened that night.“I have not, mother, we will come up with a date,” he said and glanced at his fiancée dotingly, she blushed.Madam Vanessa frowned, she could sense her son is stalling“I don't think there is a need to delay it, this weekend is the best time, all the preparation will be done” as the matriarch of the family, her words are laws and orders, and no one dares counter her.She stood from the dining table and left, Arnold chuckled and leaned on his chair “why do I feel like someone will be a dad soon” he teased.Mayor Lycan angrily stormed out of the dining table, Arno
While they were caught in the heat of their enclosure, the door burst open.“I…” the words about to be spoken by Arnold, Mayor Lycan's brother, stuck in his throat when he saw the scene on the bed.His heart twitched painfully, he couldn't believe his eyes, he turned around and slammed the door, and the sound resounded in the room, startling Mayor Lycan and Mora.Mora jumped in fright, Mayor Lycan felt guilty, he moved from the bed, and sat in the chair “I do apologize for my brother's misbehaviour, is he your boyfriend?” he asked, eyeing the gifts he brought earlier.Mora's eyes widened in shock, she explained calmly “Oh-” Mayor Lycan nodded “I think my brother likes you a lot, I can tell by his reaction” he told Mora, who looked at him and sighed heavily.“I have a boyfriend,” she said and pouted, Mayor Lycan's heart became heavy, and he couldn't explain how he feel.He stood, “I will go and see the doctor,” he told Mora, and strode out of the room.When he came back from the doctor
After venting his frustration on his car, he got in, and started the car, he sped off.--In the evening, the doctor finally discharged Mora.“Child, we should get home first, I will go and visit your friend's family” Mama Sarah assured Mora once again.She nodded dutifully, and the both of them left the hospital using a cab, .when they arrived home.Mama Sarah left afterwards to see May's family, she arrived at the door. dark clouds have already gathered in the sky.She knocked at the door, and heard a voice ask from the inside, “who is that?” Footfalls started approaching the door, May's mother opened the door, and she looked shocked before she disguised it with a smile unnaturally.“Welcome, Mama Sarah, come in” she ushered her in, the moment they settled down, Mama Sarah cut the chase and pursue the issue “Maureen, did your daughter leave anything behind before leaving for the capital?” she asked.A glint flickered in Maureen's eyes, and she shook her head “not at all, my daughte
“Mora, the owner of the school will understand if you don't go today” Mama Sarah insisted.Mora sighed silently “I know Mom, but that isn't a reason for me to skip work, I missed my pupils,” she told her mother, who doesn't want to let her go.Mama Sarah sat down after trying to convince her daughter from going to work, barely twenty-four hours after being discharged from the hospital, and she is returning to work.“Fine, you can go, I will go to the farm, and see how the workers are doing, don't stress yourself so much” she gave up completely.Mora looked at her with an appreciating smile on her face, “thank you, Mom” she said and got out of the house.She walked to the only primary school in the peasant community, a big frown etched on her face, when she sensed that she was trailed.She turned around and saw a car, some meters away, the entire windshield was tinted, she swept her gaze on the car, before entering the rusted gate.The pupils gathered in assembly, reciting the country
