Something snapped Kelly Brownson out of her thoughts, and she widened her eyes, she glanced around her until her eyes landed on the knife. “Ddn't I just kill myself?” She was confused as to why she was still alive.Her mind was reeling with questions and confusion as she turned her head to see Arthur staring back at her. He was still standing by the bed, his eyes fixed on her with the mixture of disinterest and annoyance.“Aren't you going to do it?” His voice interrupted her thought process.“Huh?” She asked, confused.“What are you doing now? Or have you suddenly gone dumb or something?" Arthur asked, his voice laced with sarcasm. “You brought out that knife to stab who? Maybe me?"Kelly's gaze darted around the room, trying to make sense of what had just happened.“I could have sworn it was real,” she looked at the knife again, and then back at Arthur.“I'm sick and tired of this Kelly,” Arthur lamented. “Always trying to get attention but now, you've gone overboard, by bringing
“Do we really need the other chic? I mean, she's crippled and of no use,” a man said in front of the vehicle. The car was turned on and the engine was rumbling. Kelly and Khloe seated at the back seat, their hands tied and far covered with a mask. Khloe couldn't believe how she was tricked by Sylvester.“Where are you taking us to?” Kelly let out, fear laced in her tone but she tried to act like the bigger sister and stay confident.“Shut up. You're very useless to us and if you don't keep that mouth shut, I'll make sure to gouge it out in no time,” the man threatened and Kelly remained quiet.Khloe sat back with her mind reeling with a series of possibilities of what things may occur. It's obvious she was being kidnapped and whoever set it up, Sylvester was working alongside the person.“We are to meet them down at the station. Around the abandoned gas station,” another said over the phone who was at the location.“Who sent you?” Khloe was so confident and firm that it even surprised
“What happened to her?” Arthur remembered asking her after she had called. “She was kidnapped by some people. I don't know...” Kelly voiced out but her tone was inaudible as she was sobbing so hard. “Calm down. When was the last time you did see her? How did you know she's missing and where are you?” He asked, trying to extract as much information as possible.“Someone abducted us both but left me and took her. I don't know where I am right now. I'm in the middle of nowhere ” she replied. “I think they want to kill her,” immediately those words left her mouth, Arthur jerked up from his bed and grabbed his keys making his way to the airport.Arthur Cassius was on his way to the airport, driving riskyly and almost colliding with every vehicle that passed by. After Kelly Ferguson had broken the news to him, he hasn't been at ease.Now he was on the road driving like a maniac and not caring about the traffic lights. It was three am in the morning and so, the road was free and less bu
After so many attempts to take the key from her, Khloe finally gave up and handed it over to them. Tay and Kasy left her all alone, still tied down. Her body was covered in blood and all her muscles ached. She tried calling out for help but nobody heard her and soon, she became weak and wary.“Somebody, please help me,” she said, her voice coming out as a whisper. Khloe tried moving her body but the pain was excruciating and she couldn't move a muscle. Suddenly, she began losing consciousness. She had lost a lot of blood and she felt so dizzy. Her vision, so blurry as she laid in her own pool of blood.“Is this how I'll die? I don't even get to see my sister, not to talk of falling in love again,” she said, coughing out blood.Then slowly, her vision shut down slowly as her heart beat also deteriorated. Before her eyes could finish closing, she heard a screeching sound of a car. “Is someone there? Are they here to finish their job? I wish they would let me be,” she thought and praye
Khloe was still on bed rest for like a week now and Ryder was in search of Sylvester though it was as if he had disappeared from the surface of the earth. Lucas tried contacting his parents but their numbers weren't going through. “I just can't believe he'll do such a thing to me,” Lucas lamented back in their mansion.“We wouldn't know that his son could be capable of doing something like that. Don't push yourself too hard because it's not your fault at all,” Emily consoled him. They were both resting on the bed at night and were getting ready to sleep.“I know someone with ill intention would have done this but once I get hold of that person, I promise to send him or her right to jail,” Lucas clenched his fist. Emily covered his fist with her hands as she said, “We will find the culprit. Don't stress about it. Just go to bed, okay?” she assured and he nodded. “I have been so worked up ever since the news got to my ears. I wish to sleep,” he said, covering his body with the duvet
Tension continues to build up as they all stared at Kelly like she had just said the most ridiculous thing ever. “What?” Lucas asked, his brows arched in confusion and he directed his attention to Emily who had the biggest shock expression on her face but it immediately changed.“Is this true? Are they your kids as Kelly claimed they are?” Lucas asked, his voice stern and resolute. “Well…..uhhmm...the truth is……” Emily was stammering, and scratching her neck at the same time, as she tried to come up with another lie.“Don't you dare lie to him. I have heard them calling you mom on several occasions and on some phone calls you made, I heard you speak like they're your actual children,” Kelly bursted. The anger in her slowly cripping up and she didn't hold it back.Lucas then turned to Emily again, desiring nothing but the truth. “Well…?” He asked, expecting an answer.“It's true,” she admitted and Lucas' expression changed. “I am so sorry for keeping the truth away from you. But I
Arthur Cassius noticed the subtle movement from Khloe and got up. Khloe adjusted her body a little. “Khloe?” He said, his voice coming above a whisper. Khloe battered her lashes, before gently opening it. She noticed a familiar face looking down at her. “Khloe…” the person's voice called out again then she realised who it was. “Mark?” she wanted to say but her voice was barely audible. “You're awake,” Arthur said excitedly. “I'll go call the doctor,” he said, leaving Khloe alone. “Where am I?” She thought to herself. “I thought I'd die. But thank God I didn't. My body aches so much,” she said, trying to get up. “Was that Mark I just saw? Was he the one that saved me? And why did he look so different?” These questions reeled her aching head. “I should just rest for a bit,” she said, closing her eyes again. Few minutes later, Arthur came with the doctor and he started checking up on her. “Are you sure she's still awake. Because if she is, then it's a miracle,” the docto
“Who sent you?” Ryder asked the tied down Sylvester. His gaze was unwavering and he seemed no to be scared of the situation. “I have told you severally, no one sent me,” Sylvester said confidently looking Ryder dead in the eye. Ryder gave him a tight slap which made him cough out blood. Instead of begging and pleading for his life, Sylvester found the torture amusing and began laughing hysterically. “You think that those tiny hands of yours will make me confess the truth? Well think again big guy,” he said chuckling. “This guy is a lunatic,” one of Ryder's men whispered to him. “For the last time, who are you working for? Why did you kidnap Ms. Ferguson and what were your demands from her?” Ryder asked, his voice more cold and intimidating than before. Sylvester stared dead in his eyes and smirked, “Make me,” and with that Ryder struck him with another ear deafening slap. “Ah, you son of bitch. You broke my jaw,” Sylvester said, spitting out a tooth alongside blood. Ryder squat
