Dennis rushed toward Cole with an uncontrollable rage and yanked him off Kelsey. He grabbed him by the collar with both hands and pinned him to the wall."You son of a bitch. What the hell are you doing?" Dennis growled at his face.Before Cole's lips could part, he received a resounding strike on his right cheek and his vision automatically became blurred.Dennis shifted Cole from the wall and slammed him against the door. Cole came crashing on the hard floor while Dennis roared in anger."Speak you bastard. What were you doing to her?"Kelsey had now slipped into unconsciousness. Janet saw the way Dennis was rough handling Cole. She covered her lips with both hands. Meanwhile, Peter was exploring the other side of the building, screaming Kelsey's name.Blood was already gushing out from the corners of Cole's mouth. "Who are you?" he managed to ask. He tried to stand up but Dennis kicked him on the belly and he fell to his knees.There was no denying that Cole was frightened to deat
Kelsey struggled to open her eyes but felt its soreness. There was a non-stop beating going on in her head and the lumps underneath her eyes were still there. She staggered out of the bed to her feet and clung to the door knob. She turned around and supported her back against the door. She opened her eyes and her vision wasn't clear enough. She managed to stand firm. She opened the door and began tracing her way down the stairs.Kelsey felt her joints aching. She could barely see her surrounding. The wares weren't manifesting properly before her eyes. She gradually climbed down the stairs and entered the first room she managed to see."Aunty Kate, Uncle Ben" she cried out but there was no reply.She went out of the room and moved to the next. "Peter? Are you there? Is anyone at home?" she screamed at the top of her weak voice.Fear began to run through every corner of Kelsey's body. She rubbed her eyes countless times with the back of her hand and was able to see a bit clearerShe sa
Dennis wrapped his arms around Kelsey and tried to make her sit but she fell back to the floor."Open your eyes. Kelsey, please stay with me." he cried out and swept her off the cold floor."Damn it!" he yelled and ascended the stairs with Kelsey in his arms.He hurried to her room and met the door wide open and he was glad. He ran into the room and carefully placed Kelsey on the bed. He tucked a pillow under her neck and wrapped a blanket around her.Kelsey had passed out. Dennis began to pace aimlessly around the room. If she fails to open her eyes in a few minutes more, he'll be forced to drive her to a hospital.While he was still analysing his thoughts, Kelsey's lips parted and a silent cough escaped. He ran to the bed and sat beside her.Kelsey opened her eyes slowly and blinked severally. Dennis was standing above her."Water! I need water," she begged."I'll be right back."Dennis darted out of the room and returned with a glass of water almost immediately after he left. Kelse

Dennis walked out of Kelsey's room and headed to the garage. He opened his car trunk, dropped a toolbox in it and drove away.He drove into the woods and parked the car in front of a bungalow. Two men were standing at the entrance and when they spotted Denni's car approaching, they hurried to meet him."Good morning boss!" the men chorused and slightly bowed their heads before Dennis."Is he in there?" Dennis demanded and stepped out of his car."Yes, boss."Dennis pulled the toolbox and passed it to them. They took the lead and walked Dennis into the torture room. When they got into the room, they turned the lights on.Cole was sitting on a stool at the centre of the room with his hands tied behind him. Immediately the lights came on, he lifted his head slowly and groaned but his groan was suppressed by the cloth covering his mouth.There were cuts all over his body and his eyes were barely opening due to the swelling. His forehead had a deep cut and blood was gushing from it. His en
Alice and Kelsey were in the living room, watching a crime thriller movie when Dennis walked in. Alice greeted him with a side hug and he gave Kelsey a peck on the left cheek. She faked a smile. "You can go now, Alice," Dennis told his sister with a smile. "Thank you for taking good care of her. I'll take over from here," he added."Siblings don't have to thank each other after a favour bro," Alice replied with a broad smile. She stood up and gave Kelsey a warm hug. "Take care of yourself." She then turned to Dennis. "You better take good care of Kelsey."Dennis nodded. "Trust me, she's in good hands." he turned to Kelsey and said. "I'm not letting her out of my side." Kelsey feigned a smile."Take it easy on her bro. She's too fragile so you might not get to..." Alice gave Dennis a wink.He smiled. "You mischievous girl.""I'll take my leave now. You both should take care." Alice said and left the mansion."Do you need anything?" Dennis asked Kelsey."No I'm good," she replied and a
A few days later, Kelsey was ready to resume school. Dennis offered to take her to college. After getting dressed that morning, Dennis dropped her at the college entrance and wished her well.Immediately Kelsey got into the school premises, she phoned Janet. Janet had asked her to give her a call the moment she set her feet into the school.Janet left the place she was and ran to the spot Kelsey was standing. She pulled Kelsey into a tight hug. "I missed you so much." Janet cried out.Kelsey replied with a smile. "I miss you too Janet. It's been four days.""How do you feel? Are you ready to hit Rovado?" Janet asked.Kelsey laughed. "I'm always ready Janet. I missed Rovado by the way."The two friends walked into the classroom and settled in their favourite row, the back row. After they sat, Janet wrapped her arms around Kelsey after she noticed how tense she was. Kelsey kept rolling her eyes around the classroom and her head was lowered."Relax Kelsey. No one knows about a damn thing
"I....don't know what you are talking about." stuttered Kelsey. She lifted her head and cleared her throat loudly. She felt as if Cassie was piercing into her soul with the look she was giving her."But I saw you with Cole," Cassie argued. "You guys went up the stairs together and I know what I'm talking about because I didn't drink much at that party so I wasn't drunk. I know what I saw." she maintained.Kelsey opened her mouth to speak but no words came out of it. She forced herself to speak but ended up stuttering. Peter decided to intervene immediately."Cassie, what's your problem huh?""My problem? I don't have any problem. I just want Kelsey to tell us what happened between her and Cole last night. That's all." Cassie replied with her palms wide open."Nobody cares about that," Peter screamed."Yes." Daniel and Janet chorused.Peter went on to address Cassie. "Whatever happened is no one's business. I trust Kelsey completely and I don't want any explanation from her so if you
