Molly:After a few minutes of driving, the taxi came to a halt in front of Larry's house. I was hesitant at first but then I mustered up courage. I got out of the car, and then I walked to the gate. Taking a deep breath I clicked the red button on the wall. A few minutes later, a man in uniform poked out his head, and looked at me. He had never seen me before because I have never been to Larry's house."Is there a problem ma'am?"he asked, and then I stared blankly for a while wondering if I was making the right decision.The whole house was big, and I knew that it would be difficult to get out once I was in."I work as an editor in the company, and I have something to give Mr. Faucher," I said to him, and then he glared at me deeply.My breathing increased and I wondered if I was ever going to get through."What's your name?" He asked, and I didn't twice before giving the name of an employee."Okay, just a moment," he said, and then he made a phone call while I bit my lips continousl
Farrell:Looking at my phone, I noticed that Molly had stopped moving. We were still about ten minutes away from her location, and even though Pedro was the one on the wheels, I felt uneasy. I wanted to grab the wheels from him or speed up the ride but I was completely helpless. The man who kept whining at the back made things worse."If you make me repeat myself one more fucking time, I promise to blow off that empty skull of yours!" I yelled, taking out my gun, and placing it in his face without looking back at him.At that moment he shut his mouth at once, and I remained that way with the gun."Pedro, drive faster!" I ordered, and he nodded.He stepped on the gas, and then he swerved around the whole city, honking really loud. It was hard maintaining a steady position with the gun, so the more we swerved, the more the owner of the car yelled. It was amusing because the gun had no bullets in it.The driver got rougher, and the moment we ran into a pothole, the gun flew out of my han
Molly:When I saw Kate's body drop, I couldn't believe my eyes. I wanted to scream but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I was lost for a moment, and my mouth was sealed tight. This had to be a dream and I would wake up really soon, because my best friend couldn't be dying in my arms.Where was Farell when I needed him? It was just like that day, and I wished he wouldn't swoop in to save us once more.Seeing Kate's body on the ground, tears began to drop from my eyes. I bent down to hold down the wound but before I could get to her, I heard Larry's voice."Seize her!" Larry commanded, and two men gripped me but it didn't move me. My body was too numb to feel their hold on my body.My whole body was stained with Kate's blood, and I wished it was just paint from the annual color festival, but I was only delusional. I was coated in fresh blood and she was losing more. Kate stared at me with a smile on her face then she grabbed my feet, making my whole body go cold. Nothing was more pai
Farrell:After the driver sped off, I didn't hold back. My heart ached badly because I imagjned Molly dead. Initially we were supposed to go slow but at the moment I could no longer wait.I walked to the gate, and I hit the button by the wall. This alerted the security, and he poked his head out at once. I was dressed corporately so it won't be news that I was here for business."The boss expects me,and you wouldn't keep a grown man waiting will you?" I asked, and he looked at me for a while, and I placed my hand on my pocket which had my gun. It was obvious he was going in for an attack and I had to be prepared.The moment he disappeared to open the gate, I clutched my gun. I walked in when the gate was slid open, and I didn't hesitate to shoot him. When his whole body crashed on the ground, his gun flew out of his hand, and I ordered my men to pick it."Once bitten twice shy," I muttered.We advanced towards the front door, but we didn't make it far before shots were fired at us. T
Molly:After Larry shot Bruno and Pedro, he pointed the gun to my head. My whole body shuddered in fear, because he was going back and forth with me. If he was going to kill me then it would be a good time to do so."Why won't you kill me! I want to get this over, fuck!" I groaned as tears dropped from my eyes.He groped my butt from behind and then he grabbed my neck really hard as though he wanted to strangle me."I've had every female I wanted but you, and I must have you in bed before I kill you," he said, making my stomach knott.My whole body tingled, and I wished there was a way to take Pedro's gun from his lifeless body which was a few inches away.After Larry said those words, he grabbed my hand, and dragged me out of the room. Deep down I prayed Farrell would make it to us in time, but it seemed almost impossible. I had no clue on which floor he was at, and I didn't know where Larry was taking me to."You know you'll be so dead if he gets to us," I said but Larry didn't bat
Molly:I couldn't believe this was happening. Farrell was shot? My heart beat increased, and I began to pant for breath as I watched my husband crash onto the ground. I wasn't the one in pain but my head spinned and my breath hitched for a moment. I fell to the ground, and I held my chest, gasping for breath.This has never happened, and the thought of losing him clouded my mind. Everything was about to go black when I heard gunshots, and Larry dropped dead before me before I totally blacked out.************"Molly, wake up. It's me, Kate," When I heard Kate's voice, I opened my eyes to see her putting on a white lace gown. I lay down on a field with bright blue blooming flowers which smelt really nice. Kate's large eyes stared at me in a weird way, and I smiled when I saw her."Stop staring, you are creeping me out," I said, and I chuckled.She lay down beside her, and then she stretched out her hand to hold me. Her hands in mine were gentle, and it radiated warmth in my stomach and
Molly:After I was thrown into the endless pit, I heard the sound of a machine beeping and then I pulled my eyes open forcefully. I looked around to see a lady dressed in a white cloth."Ma'am, are you okay?" She asked, and then I looked around without a word.I was in a hospital. I tried to recall what had happened but my head thumped really hard. Then I remembered that Farrell was shot. I stood up at once but then she tried to hold me down."Where is he?" I asked, as the woman tried to hold me down."Where is my husband?" I yelled at her, and then the door to the room I was in was pulled open.Farrell walked in with his hand tied in a bandaid. My heart was calm a bit and I sat down, burying my head in my lap. I couldn't bear to see him that way. His face was rough, and he looked tattered. This was all because of me, and it made my heart ache terribly."Leave us, please," Farrell said calmly to the nurse, and then I heard the door close. His footsteps echoed as his shoe struck the ti
Farrell:My hand hurt badly from the injury I had but I needed to save Molly who was in the hallway crying out her heart. I knew this would happen, but I couldn't stop her. This must have been her first time facing a thing like this, or maybe she didn't face it often, because I was already immune to losing loved ones. At a point in my life it seemed like a trend. It was one person to another, but I never lost my life. I had been to the funeral home a thousand times in my life."Molly!" I called out, grabbing her hands before she could make it out to the reception with patients."What more do I have to live for?" She asked, looking at me.My heart ached the more I watched her tears flow, but I knew it would be selfish talking about how much I loved her."You live for Kate!" I said, and she paused for a while, sniffing slowly. "She asked you to do that, so why don't you want to? Live for her, and fulfill your life. We all will be there, and it's a matter of time. Our prayers should be t
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

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
