CIARA I froze there for a moment, the thought of what he might do to me sent shivers down my spine, the knock continued but there was nothing that I could do with a gun pointed to my head. “Who is that?”“It is me, Mrs. Ciara I wanted to know if you are ready for a touch up of your makeup.”“I… I am… Sorry dear but you have to go away for now, I will send for you when I am ready for a touch.” I knew even without seeing her face that she will be perplexed by the response that I gave her, hoping that she was going to insist on seeing me but instead she compiled and stepped away. “She is gone Gerald, can you let me go, I can help you find a safe route to escape and I promise you that no one is going to know that you were here.”I was hoping to get through to him, but instead he scoffs, his gaze still filled with disdain. “You think that I am frightened of anyone around here, I dare Ryan to come forward and he will have his head on a stalk as a souvenir to his guests, if I can't have
RYAN I was out by the beach side attending to the guest that flew in from far and near to the wedding when Herzl hurried out to me as he tuck the strain of my trousers. “Daddy you have to come with me!!” He cried out and admitted the crowd there. “Come on Herzl, today is not the day for play, I am sorry, but I can't come with you to have fun.”“No!! Uncle Gerald is at the Hallway and he has mommy, he is also holding a gun that is bigger than mine.”My eyes immediately widened in shock and without waiting for another word from him, I dashed out to the hallway. I was half way through when I recalled Herzl talking about a gun. If he is armed, there is no way that I will be able to take him down alone. I immediately pulled out my phone from my breast pocket and called the police, luckily there was a dispatch close to our venue and they arrived just in time when I could have lost my life on my wedding day. “Your hands where I can see them!!” an officer yelled out at him, he dropped th
CIARA Ryan shielded me away from the gun shot, and even as the sound echoed through the arena, he stare at me with a smile that filled his face, but I did not realize that those smile were consumed with pain, just then the cops arrived and surrounded the entire place. I tried to pull away from Ryan but my gown was now covered in blood, fear took hold of me, at first I thought that the blood was from me but then I realize that I could not feel any pain. Until I watched my husband slowly slumped out of my hand, his hand was clutching to his stomach and he was bleeding profusely and gasping for breathe. “Ryan!!” Anne called as soon as she realized what she just did, her eyes widened in terror. “Ryan, I am so sorry, I didn't mean for it to be you, you just happened to be in my way, please do not die.” Anne cried out but the cops had already apprehended her and clipped a handcuff around her wrist. I went on my knee and held his side where the blood was gushing out hoping to stop the
Herzl barely had enough bite and reassured me that he was satisfied so I put him to bed. I was barely halfway through his bedtime story when I noticed that he was already fast asleep.I took a hot shower, dressed up in a casual plain gown and stepped out of the house, this time it was more convenient to get to the hospital in my car. Mrs. Smith was fast asleep in the waiting area when I got there and the doctors were still operating on Ryan so I sat beside her waiting for news from them, but when the doctors stepped out of surgery, they were all looking worn out with traces of sweat on their face. “Doctor! How is he?” I jumped out of the chair and Mrs. Smith, who was fast asleep, jerked up in shock. “We were able to pull out the bullet but it had hit a major artery, and he lost a lot of blood before coming here so it wasn't easy operating on him.” He explained while we both had our eyes wide open in curiosity. “So doctor, how is he now, how is my son now?” “He is out of the woods

The atmosphere was good that evening as a lady sat comfortably with her legs crossed, watching her favorite series. Her phone buzzed softly on the center table, diverting her attention away from the soap opera she was watching.Lisa picked up the phone hastily to check whatever message might have come in. She had thought it was her husband, Alex, who had messaged —probably to inform her he'd be staying out late that night as well.If it was, she wouldn't be surprised as it had turned into a routine that he would never cease from; sometimes, she wondered why he still sent her those kinds of messages! But then it turned out she was wrong. Again, she received the same message from an anonymous sender as before.“... The earlier you divorce Alex and leave him for me, the better for you, woman! You have no place in his life, you know where you belong instead...” The message reads. “This isn't a joke or an empty threat —divorce Alex if you know what's best for you!”Lisa felt a chill run do
Lisa stood in shock as she watched Rosy sit on Alex's lap with her head resting on his chest and Alex, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying stroking Rosy's hair as they both engaged in a compassionate conversation. They both did not notice her presence, which fueled her anger the more!Lisa felt like she was going to be sick. She had thought she was prepared for whatever Rosy had to say, but seeing this was too much. She couldn't believe that Alex would betray her like this, that he would be so cruel. Even if he's always been a jerk who doesn't care about anything else except himself, isn't he supposed to respect the fact that he's married? No?As if what Lisa had seen a few moments ago wasn't enough, Rosy kissed Alex's jaw lightly and in return, he grabbed her face and kissed her on the lips. They were so engrossed in their shameless activity, clearly not bothered by the thought of someone walking in on them.She wondered how shamelessly they would go in such a place like this. I
"There she is..." Jamel whispered but audible enough to Alex's hearing, who only nodded with out a reply as he strode towards Ms. Carter. They both exchanged pleasantries before he had his seat opposite her."It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Carter." Alex said as he sat down. Ms. Carter looked at him with an inscrutable expression, her green eyes glittering."The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Alex." she replied, her voice smooth and calm. "I understand you're the CEO of The Williams cooperation. It's quite an impressive company, I've heard lots about it."Alex smiled slightly but it was enough to brighten the atmosphere. "Thank you, but I'm hardly the only one responsible for its success. I'm lucky to have a great team." He uttered, still maintaining his slight smile. "A great team, and a great leader." Ms. Carter vocalized with a few head nod. With out much further ado, she cleared her throat, deciding to go straight to the point. "I supposed you are yet to find a shareholder yet, or ha
The long ride was slow and as well as a quiet one too. Alex sighed for the umpteenth times, unable to fathom the reason behind his sigh that seems not to be coming to an end — of course, he has many reasons for his continuous sigh, but he could not pinpoint which one of it was gnawing at him.Though his mind and thoughts seems to be in fuzzy, he managed to forced his focus on the wheels —he can't repeat the same mistakes twice and this time, he might not be lucky enough and might lose his life. Alex did not want that to happen to me once again, he dreaded the thought of it. He had almost seen death once —he won't face it this time.He's currently facing a lot but losing his life shouldn't be the thought on his mind. His mother —he had stressed her enough with his continuous and never seems to end escapades lately, should he add more to it? No, right? And his daughter too, what would happen to her if she's left behind? Times like this, Alex wished he could turn the hand of time and go
When Lisa walked into her office, she was surprised to find that Judas was not there. On a normal day, Judas would be the first one to greet her upon her arrival. But today, he was nowhere to be found. Lisa was confused and concerned, so she decided to call him to find out what was going on.When she pulled out her phone, she quickly dialed Judas's number. The phone rang and rang, but there was no answer after two try. She had wanted to dial the number for the third time but shrug it off, and decided to keep her phone.Just when she was about to do as thought, the phone rang, vibrating softly in her grip. She checked the caller — it was Judas. With a deep frown settling on her face, she reluctantly picked the call. "Hey..." Judas hailed dryly from the other end. "Sorry, I screened your call. I was about parking when you called so I couldn't answer the phone." "Where are you?" Lisa questioned instead, ignoring his excuses. "I just entered my office and find it empty — you aren't her
"I know what I'm saying is true, Lisa." Andy insisted, seeing the doubt in Lisa's eyes. "Since you left for Los Angeles and made me the acting chairman, my father has been pressuring me to take over the company." Andy went as far as explaining every little detail to Lisa not leaving one out of it. He went as far as telling her how Xavier left home since he refuse to dance to his tunes and even him going to apologize to his father thinking maybe he had change. Lisa was dumbfounded after listening to all what Andy had said, even though she had expected those cunning men not to back away easily. The one she mostly find hard to believe was Xavier cutting ties with his son over his petty greed but since it's coming out from Andy's mouth, she has no other choice than to believe it. "— I shouldn't be saying this, but I can't let them hurt you. I've watched you grown up and I see how kind and considerate you've been..." Andy muttered slowly in conclusion. "I won't possibly be at peace if I
As Andy stood there, staring at his father, he knew that their relationship was irreparably broken. No matter what he said or did, he would never be able to repair the damage that had been done.The man standing in front of him was not the father he had once known and loved. He was a stranger, a man consumed by greed and ambition. He was lost to him forever.Slowly, he turned and began to walk away. He didn't look back, didn't say another word. He simply left, and never looked back.Andy couldn't help but wondered how his father had turned this way — at this stage, he's beyond repair and no matter the amount of words said could bring back his old self which seems to be lost forever.‘Am I really doing the right thing?’ He asked himself, giving his actions a second thought. ‘Leaving him and walking out of his life the moment he's alone and needed someone by his side, is it really okay to desert him like this?’He's not alone, he has his brother who are always supporting him, no matter
"Whether it's sinful or not doesn't matter to me." Xavier cut his son off, matching his angry tone. "Did you think I wish to remain hidden while that bitch enjoy all the luxury to herself and her illegitimate kids?"Andy would have calmed down a bit but his father was only adding more fuel to his anger. "How dare you, father..." He uttered repulsively, trying to defend Lisa. "Why would you speak such ill words of her and her kids who had done nothing wrong against you?""Nothing wrong, eh?" Xavier muttered with a scoff. "Her existence alone has wronged me greatly. Now that I'm into it already, I won't back down until I see her got ruined completely."Andy shook his head sideways, the look of disgust that was on his his face deepen. "You aren't worth living with, Mr. Xavier. It's a good thing you left me on your own." He said with scoff. "I see why mom left you two decades, taking Stephanie along with her.""You..." Xavier yelled with anger written all over him, pointing his index fing
Ever since Andy could remember, he has never been anxious as he is at the moment. He wasn't even sure of the best words to say to his father when he see him. It was at that moment it all dawned on him that he has not planned all of these well enough which made him let out a low but tiring sigh.The moment Andy stepped in and as though his father had been expecting him to come, Andy was welcomed by his father's blazing gaze — if only looks were capable of ending one's life, Andy was sure to have dropped death on spot."What is this ungrateful brat doing here?" Xavier's thundered in anger, his voice laced with hatred and he did not hesitate to give his son that same look as well —hatred, anger, frustration and fury! He turned towards his brother's direction. "Fred, why did you allow this boy in?""I think he has something to say to you." Fred muttered, though audibly to Xavier's hearing with a slight shoulder shrug, collapsing on the nearest couch. "Let's listen to what he has to say. H
It was barely past noon when Andy had returned home from work that afternoon, he couldn't come back home the previous day because it was already late in the night when he finished from the theatre room so he took his rest at the hospital instead. Andy sat on his favorite couch with a heavy sigh of relief but his relief did not last more than a few moment, because his relief was swallowed with his gnawing feeling of emptiness. Everything seems empty to him — and he felt as though he's alone in the whole big world. He knew something was amiss somewhere and tried figuring it out. Alas! He figured out that it was the absence of his father. He had missed his father's presence in the house, his nagging and miss seeing his scowling face as well —all of these had made the past five years bearable for him but for the past one week, he has no one else to do all of these to him. Andy couldn't help but blamed himself for the emptiness he was feeling, he was the one who had sent his own biolog
Once they were gone, Lisa let out a sigh of relief. She was glad to have a moment to herself, and she was looking forward to the peace and quiet. Although she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty about sending the kids away but she had things to discuss about with Judas.Judas moved closer and sat down on the seat opposite Lisa's desk. Lisa, as well, sat down in her usual position, her eyes fixed on the man before her. His facial expression says it all, of course he has a lot o say to Lisa and could not wait to be permitted so he could relay his words. "It seems you have something to say, Judas." Lisa finally voiced out after observing Judas for a while. She's not too blind not to have noticed —she knows Judas too well. "What have you come up with this time around?" "Uh, yeah." He nodded his head in agreement, adjusting slightly on his seat. "You can guess..." his voice was drawling and far from usual.Lisa raised her left brow slightly. "Beats me. What are you up to this time, Jude
