“It did. Why are you concerned about that date?” I asked.He took out a lighter from his pants’-pocket,lighting the bottom of the cigar with it.“Nothing. It’s just a stupid date. Reece said something about the date coinciding with a past we’ve forgotten. A man named Ryan Trautvein who got killed that night...” he glanced at me,“... come to think of it,you said a night that...”“It was just a night of discovery,Collins. You shouldn’t be too forward with your thinking and start assuming baseless things.” I said,cutting him off.He frowned,his eyes were slowly observing me. He then let out a smile.“Come have breakfast with me two days from tonight. I wanna host you to a treat.”“What if I pass?” I asked,smiling back at him.“You wouldn’t dare,you know...” he patted my shoulders,beaming with smiles,“... you are way too tall,Mr Jake. Reminds of me of that traitor,Ryan. The goddamn son of a whore whom I took pity on and gave him a life. If not for me,he would have died alongside his family
⚫️REECE⚫️ Collins called for a meeting in his lodge,it was almost midnight. Many thoughts ran through my head.Firstly,that motherfuckin’ two-faced gangster... Jake De Vande.How is it possible for him to maintain both profiles?A famous artist and sculptor.That’s not all,he is having an affair with Rachel.I scowled.“Are you okay,Reece?” Collins asked.“I’m fine.”“You look like you gonna shoot someone in the head. Anything the matter?” He asked.“I said,I’m fine.”Everywhere was silent.We sat in the parlor,having a bottle of wine together.Collins cleared his throat.“It was a wast of my money to have bought that piece of junk.”“That’s because it’s Rachel naked body that was being sculpted.” “I can’t agree less,Reece. The sculptor himself,Deamus or whatever that he is called. There is something familiar about him.” He said.“Pfft. I thought I was the only one who noticed it.” I said,folding my arms acRyan my chest.“Reece,You have the resources. You call the shots here. I want you to pu
🍀RACHEL🍀|9:05am|Birds chirping softly as the day brightens, the sun rays hitting my face, I could perceive the smell of coffee. I opened my eyes slowly to my consciousness, staring at the lavished ceiling up above me. I heard taps and clicks, I looked down to see Ryan was sitting behind a desk, working on a laptop. A steaming coffee mug stood beside the table with a plate of sandwiches. His hair was tousled, still, it didn’t matter to me. This man, he is so handsome, sometimes I would wonder if he was made out of a faintly told fairytale.He was wearing a round-neck, loose, long sleeved grey shirt, with matching grey sweatpants.He looked encrossed in whatever he was doing.I sighed... what a man.A pleasing sight to behold. His eyes glanced at me and then, he smiled.“Awake?” He asked.The deep tones of his rich, manly voice brushed against my subconsciousness so erotically. It made me blush.I slowly sat up from the bed.“Yes...” a sharp pain seared across my back, making me wince
♠️Ryan♠️ |Evening| 7:54pm|: I went out to a grocery store to get few stuffs to restock the refrigerator. I had returned to my apartment and I had Patricia waiting for me in the car outside.I picked her up from work as we promised and I was to drive her home. Also, the car was low on fuel. A fueling station was very close to the store, and that’s just fine.After swiping my card, I nodded at the cashier with a smile on my face. We have been talking for a while and laughing over stuffs. She smiled back, returning the card to me.“I can’t see your face properly, the cap’s covering the substantial details. But, you’ve got a very cute smile.” She flattered.“So do you too, ma’am. I should be going now. Some other time.” I said, picking up with plastic bags with the groceries, beverages and drinks in them.“Later!” She said in a melodious tone, waving at me as I walked out of the store.The weather dropped drastically low.It seems it would be snowing earlier this year and thankfully,
angrily stormed into the parking lot.That worthless, old shit!How dare him kill Patricia right in front of my eyes?!!Did he just try to tell me that I am nothing?!!Did he just made me feel powerless?!!!Screw that old geezer and fuck him over!!!I reached where my car was parkedI am going to pound him into pieces!I’m gonna rip his eyes out!!Fucking old fool!!!“Jake!” A voice called.Rachel’s voice.I quickly turned around to see her approaching me.“What are you doing here?” I asked.“I didn’t come here to apologize to you about anything. I came to know, was she truly your girlfriend?” She asked.I frowned.“No... she was just a friend.”She stood in front of me.“But you kissed her and...”“Everything you saw, was just an act to convince your father.”“He killed her because of me, I know. I shouldn’t have...” she began sobbing,“... I was jealous... angry that you kissed her and called her your girl. I should have controlled my emotions, now she’s gone. I-I’m sorry, uncle Ryan. I truly am..
I shrugged a shoulder, giving him an unbothered look.“You already know. Jake De Walter, Seamus or... do you think I’m something else?” I asked, smiling sheepishly at him.He moves backwards, shuddering in fear.“I-I need to go,s-s-something came up, and I,I need to sort it out quickly.”“What about our money?” Bennile asked.Reece’s eyes were observing me intently. I smiled, running my fingers into my hair as I turned around to go sit on the wooden chair.“Will send it as soon as I leave here.”“Good... make no mistakes.” I stood in front of the chair, turning around to look at him.“And do yourself a favor, leave Rachel alone. She is mine...” I scowled at him,“... stay away from her, understood?”“Yes...” he furrowed his brows at me,“...I do.” I smiled.Slowly, I’m getting close to the big day. Right now, by playing with their heads, I can successfully break them and crush their ego. But in real sense, Reece is going to go down quickly and then, Collins is next.••••••💠ANNA💠|My Apartm
💠ANNA💠 My head stung as I regained consciousness. I opened my eyes slowly, blinking severally and wincing to the blinding light that shone on my face.I looked down to see I was tied to a chair.I began wriggling and struggling to break free but it was tightly tied that I could feel my skin burning at each tear the rope gave.“You have some nerve, you know.” A voice said.I couldn’t see who it was or where I am. A lamp was above my head and my eyes haven’t adjusted to the brightness.“Who are you? And, how dare you kidnap me?” I snapped.“No. You shouldn’t think of it as a dare. Instead, how dare you spy into my daily activities? Oh... the number you gave was a spyware and you thought I wouldn’t know, right?”I gasped on remembering that voice and the spyware thingy.Reece Norman...“You don’t have to keep me here. It is your greatest mistake. My boss, he will find me and you are only going to make it easier and quicker for him to kill you.” I said.I noticed that the side of my head
I took him into the mansion. I was in front while he was behind me as I led the way.We walked down the huge passage hall that led to the main building and I heard him exclaim.“WOAH! Sir...?!”I halted on my steps, turning around to look at him.“... sir, do you live here?” He asked, his eyes glistening as he was expecting an answer.“Yes. This is my home, my mansion. Just like you, I have boys working for me and they also live here.”He was astounded.“Your boys live in your mansion?”I tilted my head to side, smirking at him.“Yes. You will be staying here as well. I will be introducing you to them and they will get you acquainted with the kind of things I do.”He lowered his head as though he was ashamed and sad about something.“What is it, Darren?”“Sir, its just that...” he sniffled.‘Shit!. Is he crying?’I moved closer.“Why are you crying, Darren?”He scrunched his head up to look at me. I haven’t seen much tears in life, more especially, it was coming from a grown man.He grabbed my arm
