Molly:Merely thinking of everything that has occurred raised a lot of goosebumps on my skin. I couldn't believe Benjamin was gone. This made me remember when I told Farrell I had seen more dead people this year than my whole twenty three years of living, and I didn't mince words.When I was younger it was only the old people that died, and then people started dying from diseases, and accidents. But with Farrell people died almost everyday.While I pondered on the things that had happened, the door to the room was flung open, jolting me back to reality, and in fear. I was scared that it was someone from the rival group, but Farrell walked in with his face scrunched as ever."Pack your bags!" He said to me, and then he walked to the closet, and got out his luggage.He took his clothes, and dumped them into his luggage without bothering to fold them. Does this mean Genevieve was dead? I questioned myself but I couldn't afford to ask him. He said we would leave once they found her."I d
Farrell:"You have five seconds to answer, and I'm not a very patient person!" I said, gritting my teeth."I came on my own, I wanted revenge for my uncle's death," Genevieve said with a shaky breath."Wrong!" I growled, and then I pulled the trigger.She screamed in fear immediately, and no bullet came out. She was lucky."You might not be this lucky the next time, so answer me wrongly and stand a chance to lose your head!""Please, I… I.. no one sent me. Please!" She pleaded with tears streaming down her cheeks.A moment ago she acted really tough, now she was at my mercy, so pathetic of her."For the last time, who sent you?" I asked.She took in a deep breath, and then she opened her mouth to speak."Father sent me, but don't go after him. He is ill and bedridden, and…""I know that Marco is ill. You do not have to spell it out for me, and what I do with him is none of your business," I said to her."Please don't, I beg you…kill me instead," she said, crying and pleading with all
Molly:"Get out of there Pedro. Let's go home," Farrell said, and then he ended the call. We got into the car together while he waited for Pedro. When Pedro arrived we drove off from the hotel. Farrell was cold throughout the drive. He looked like he was very angry, and I was so scared to even speak to him. He barely looked at me. His head was turned towards the window, and he was lost in thought until we got to the airport, boarded the plane and got home.Deep down I blamed myself for all these. I knew it was the Dark Mambas, and maybe if I wasn't foolish, this wouldn't have happened. If I didn't run off that night, I would have been on my vacation, probably tanning under the sun.********The car pulled up to our house in no time. As soon as the car stopped, Farrell got out and marched into the house, while I slowly came out. Pedro took our luggage inside with help of the maids while I walked to my room sadly.When I got to my room, I threw myself on the bed, and sobbed harder. I
Molly:The next day, I woke up in bed, and I noticed Farrell was nowhere to be found. I pushed myself out of bed, and I headed to the bathroom to take a shower.After I was done, I got out, and slipped into a robe. Then I made my way to the door. I barely had anything to eat yesterday. I had tears for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.The moment I grabbed the door handle, Farrell pulled it open. He was dressed for work ,and he had a smile on his face.He smiled like everything was okay. Like he didn't just kill Benjamin yesterday, and probably that lady. Sometimes I wondered how he slept so peacefully at night with all that he was doing. I could never do that. I mean just seeing him kill other people still haunts me. It would take a while to get the picture of Benjamin out of my mind, just like when he killed Bruno."You are up already?" He asked, and then I nodded with a smile.He kissed my cheek, making it flush instantly. Then he took my hand."Come," he said, shutting the door of my r
Molly:I waited for the call to end, because I was dumbfounded. This was just a case scenario if speak of the devil. But then I was only thinking of her.What bothered me was why she could be possibly calling. I thought that by now she would hate me so much. Taking a deep breath, I waited for her to call again.Just like I expected, my phone began to ring again. I stared at it one more time, then I slid the green phone icon, and I picked the call."Hello,"she said, and then I felt a tear drop from my eyes.It was unbelievable. She was really the one and hearing her voice after a week was nice. I had missed her so much, and I really wanted her back."Hello, Molly," she said again."Paula," I managed to say in a calm voice.I didn't want to sound too excited, because there was a possibility that she didn't miss me at all. Maybe she wanted to speak to Farrell and couldn't get him. It may really not be about me."Hey, I missed you over this past week, and I thought I should call," she sai
Molly:"Where the hell did I leave those papers?" I heard Farrell say, and then he rummaged through the rack of books.I hitched my breath for a while, hoping he would hurry up and leave. I was in the least favorable position, and cobwebs got in my way, making me really uncomfortable.Suddenly, I heard something fall."Fuck!" I heard him growl.At that moment, I heard the door open. Then I heard his voice outside in the hallway. I tried to steady my breath, but then I saw a huge spider in front of me, making me yelp in fear. Within the twinkle of an eye, I jumped out of the back of the cupboard. Then I made my way to the door when I saw a trickle of blood on the ground. This meant that Farrell had cut himself.A lot of books had fallen from a shelf. I wondered what must have cut him, but then I remembered he could be back any moment.I opened the door quietly, then I peeked a bit to survey the hallway. When I saw that the coast was clear, I moved out and then I increased my pace. Th
Molly:I went through the hallway that led to the back door. Pulling the door open, I saw that there was no security. The universe was finally aligning with me. I ran to the little gate, and the moment I pulled it open, I heard someone yell."You can't do that!" I turned back to see one of the men by the door. Without thinking twice, I ran out, and slammed the metallic gate. Then I ran down the street, and flagged the first taxi down."Move, please!" I yelled as soon as I got in.As soon as the man zoomed off, I saw Farrell's men standing in the street that led outside the house. I sunk back into the taxi. Then I gave the man the address, and he drove to the venue.When I got down, I looked around to be sure that I wasn't followed. I figured it would be difficult for the guards to go back, get a car and still catch up with us.After I paid the man,I walked into the cafe. The moment the bell on the door jingled, Paula looked back at me. A smile formed on her face, and I returned it ba
Farrell:I knew the city was evaded with the Dark Mambas. They were probably keeping tabs on me from aftar which was good, because they dare not interrupt in real life. Keeping out for them was all I could do at the moment. At least they were trying to take me out, and not one of my family members, except Molly of course. But it would be easier to pass a camel through a needle's eye than to get to Molly."I'm off," I said to Molly who was still wrapped up in bed. Then I kissed her forehead.I wanted some action last night, but she got her period early.When I was about to leave, she pulled her eyes open, and pulled me closer. She kissed me softly on my lips before she started to kiss my cheeks."I love you," she muttered in her crackly morning voice."I love you too," I said to her, then I stood up to leave.One thing I had achieved was selling off the lands of the Elcardo's, and boy was I glad. If the Dark Mambas weren't careful then they would suffer the same fate as the Elcardo's.
Molly: I sat on the terrace, taking in the breathtaking scenery, from swaying trees to flocks of chirping birds. Everything was lovely, and it gave me a warm feeling in my chest. I reflected on my life five years ago with my eyes closed. I could have sworn I made the wrong decision with Farrell that night, but the opposite has been true. Everything went swimmingly, except for the fact that my mother died without recognizing me. Rest in peace, sweet soul. But I am grateful for that night at the club and whatever made him magically attracted to me. I was still trying to enjoy the moment when Corduroy let out a piercing scream. I blinked open my eyes and sighed heavily. How could I have forgotten the most exciting, yet stressful, part? Being a mother! “Mummy!”Corduroy called out in a shaky voice, forcing me to stand. I walked out onto the terrace and into the penthouse. Corduroy pushed the door open before I could reach for it, and he looked up at me with teary eyes. As he cried, I
This is me releasing a sincere apology for my readers, and I have a good reason for not updating. 1. I have been sick for a while, and this has been due to stress, and pressure. I am a final year student and my course is not an easy one, plus my exams are near. 2. This story has only one chapter remaining actually, and I have been editing it ahead of completion.

I would give you all the opportunity to choose your preferred genre, and I will get to work. I love you all for giving my first story this kind of opportunity, and I can never thank you enough. I'm really sorry for my shortcomings. please if you see this, don't forget to comment with your preferred genre. Thank you.
Molly:*Beginning of flashback*"I'm hungry, and my tummy hurts," I said to Andrew who had just gotten back from work. He signed and made his way up the stairs, brushing shoulders with me."Foolish child," he said, and I muttered a "God bless you,"I didn't think he would hear me, but before I could tell, he yanked me by my hair and flung me on the wall."If your mother won't teach you how to behave then I'll do that. It's my duty as your stepfather to teach you how to respect your elders," he said, and I scoffed.He slapped my cheek, and then pushed me down on the ground. After which he kicked me on my stomach. Then he crouched down close to me, and pressed hard on my jaw."Remember, you can't say a word to your mother if you want her to live," he said to me, and left while I stayed on the cold floor in pain, sobbing silently.My mother usually returned late because she ran her business from morning until late at night. She did all this because Andrew couldn't provide adequately for
Molly:At first I was dumbfounded when Farrell said those words. I couldn't believe it was finally going to happen. I felt weird for a moment, and I reached out to him when he turned to leave. I walked in front of him, and held his face then looked him in the eyes."You don't have to do this, and…""I have decided to let go of the past, and that is the only way that this would work," he said. "I love you Molly, and I want us to work," he added, and then he kissed my lips briefly, before taking my hand.As we walked down the hallway that led to the room, my heart thumped very fast. I feared what I would see and at the same time I was curious.I felt an in rush of air which left my body with goosebumps as we came to a halt in front of a door. He took out the keys from his pocket, and unlocked the door. As he opened it, I took in a deep breath, and shut my eyes. Then I walked in, and opened my eyes to see a crisp bedroom.At first I was in awe at what I had seen. My room was nothing comp
Molly:My body trembled in fear as I felt Lola's tiny hands hold mine. I was blind folded so I couldn't see her but I knew that something terrible was going on. She sobbed silently, and I placed her head on my lap."Don't cry, we will be fine," I said to her trying to hush her, but she wouldn't stop."Will mummy die?" She asked, and I felt my heart crumble in multiple pieces.Having to accept that your parents were evil hit different, but then she had to be grateful that Courtney wasn't her real mum. Well she didn't know this yet so it was understandable that she would cry over what was going on."Mummy will be fine, and your uncle will save her," I lied even after I had heard the gunshot, and Courtney who was shrieking in pain.This child was going to suffer a lot of trauma, but I promised myself to take good care of her, because the only place close to home would be Farrell's house, and I wasn't sure he was stable.The door of the room opened after a while, and I heard someone appro
Farrell:When I got a hold of the gun, I smacked Courtney gently on the face and she fell to the ground then I put the gun in my pocket, grabbed Lola and walked towards the room I heard Molly's voice.Before I could get to it, Courtney jumped on my back, and grabbed hard on my neck. Her hands were obviously weak, and watching her struggle would have been funny in a different scenario."Can't you see I'm trying to save you!" She yelled, and I yanked her off my back.I pushed Lola into the room."Farrell," Molly called out from where she sat with blind folds but I didn't respond, I shut the door, and faced Courtney.The fact she kept acting as if I was in danger and needed help from her made me angry. There was definitely no amount of help that she could offer me at this point."Save me from what? You had one job but each time you were around, you only made me feel worse. I can't believe I failed to realise it until now," "Ingrate!" She scoffed, and then she stood up."Do you know how
Farrell:"Courtney what is…" I was about to complete my question when I looked away from Lola to see Courtney holding a gun.I became alarmed at once, and I tapped my pocket to see that my gun was gone. I turned around to see if there was anyone behind, and I realized Courtney was actually pointing the gun at me."Come here, Lola," she said, and then Lola shook her head, holding right on my neck.Deep down I wished I could handle the situation better but then I knew that the only way to think properly was to hand Lola over. Lola screamed in fear asI put down at once. "You'll be fine," I said to her as I pushed her over to Courtney who looked blood thirsty. I couldn't understand what was going on, and I didn't want to get violent yet. This had to be a joke because there was no way she would openly threaten Lola with a gun. She loved Lola so much."This has got to be a joke right?" I asked, Courtney and she laughed briefly then she placed her hand firmly on the trigger."Does it look
Farrell:"Maria!" I screamed, and then I jerked up at once. I looked around to see that I was lying on Maria's bed.The sun had just risen, and I guessed I had slept walk once more but this time it was for a good cause. I stood up from the bed,and walked to her dresser where her combs and everything were still perfectly laid out. I picked one of them, and I found a few strands of her hair on them. "You were really here," I muttered, running my hand on the comb. Suddenly a very gentle breeze swept by, giving me a brief chilly feel that had the hairs on my body standing, and goosebumps sprouting out of my body."Rest in peace, my love," I said with a deep sigh.I felt an inrush of emotions as I did when I met her, but this time I wasn't angry. It felt nice knowing she was in a good place, and all that could have been was terrible so I was grateful that it never happened.They said you couldn't have your cake, and eat it so I took a deep breath, shoving off the emotions that engulfed
Farrell:After so much contemplation, I grabbed the keys to Maria's room. I made up my mind to keep an open mind. I had to heal from this trauma, or else I would pass it over to my innocent kids who were on the way.When I left my room, I noticed how late it was. Molly crossed my mind, and I hope deep down that she could hold on a little longer until I figured myself out. Quietly, I walked through the long hallway that led to her room. I placed my ear on the door opposite which was were the old lady stayed. I heard her giggle to herself as usual, and I turned around to face Maria's door.I walked to the door, inserted the key, and pulled it open. To my greatest surprise he lights were on, and I heard the shower running."What the?" I questioned myself, slamming the door, and rushing to the bathroom to turn off the shower.The thought that Molly just have been here got me annoyed a bit but then I tried to push it away. I had to push off every little hint of anger. I began to convince
