The guards were taken aback by the sudden arrival of a black car that zoomed into the building; the drive was rough and fast, bringing the guards to their feet and immediately getting their guns ready. They pointed the guns toward the car, but when the driver jumped out, they were relieved.They furrowed their brow in surprise and curiosity when they saw Kyle run in like he was being chased by death. He ran like his life depended on it and arrived in the sitting room; his sudden run-in startled the men inside and also took them by surprise." Kyle?", Damien jumped on his feet on seeing Kyle. He looked at him all over and furrowed his brow, " What happened, brother? What happened to you?".Kyle collapsed on the floor exhaustedly and the men quickly helped him up to sit on the chair. Damien stood over him not asking a question and waiting for one of the men to give him water to do. After drinking the water, Kyle heaved a long sigh of relief." I'm glad I made it here"," What in the hel
Blue trailed behind Clinton to welcome Christian. It was morning and he had just returned from work. They approached him, and without being told, Blue took the handbag from him with a bow alongside Clinton." Where's Ari?" he asked, walking upstairs as he loosened his tie." I don't think ma'am would want to see you," Clinton said, trailing behind him.Christian halted in his track and turned to him," Why? Is something wrong?"," She's too pissed to see you", Blue replied not looking at him," Why is she pissed?"," Because you stood her up", Clinton replied," I did?"," She waited all night ", Blue added," Made three different kinds of dishes", Clinton added," For you", Blue completed," Spend lots of hours and effort to make the dishes"," Only for you not to show up"," Waited for you"," All beautifully dressed up with nice perfume all over her"," But you didn't come home"," She got worried and called"," Only for you to say you won't be coming home"." Wait! Wait! Wait!" Ch
It dawned on them that the truck was aiming for them but it was too late. Clarisse was frightened to death as she covered her ears and let out a deafening screamChristian's eyes widened, his pulse raced faster, and like a flash, his survival adrenaline hit his hand he immediately took hold of the car gear and took a speedy reverse, looking back and forth to avoid the cars. The Rolls Royce black car's speed was insane and frightening; every car drove out of the way, avoiding it and the truck that sped after it. Like a car rider expert, he skillfully whirled the car around, creating a loud screeching sound from the tires, avoiding the truck and letting the truck crash into a pole before it tumbled and began to release smoke.Like the time stopped, every movement stopped for a second. Christian held the wheel panting and trying to catch his breath before turning and grabbing Clarisse by the shoulder." Ari, Ari, look at me", he called in haste as she shivered.Still shivering from shock
Her grip around his wrist tightened but she tried to calm her mind and let go of his wrist," Tell me, what makes you think I'm different?".He said and turned to her properly, "You've gotten more free, bold, and more relaxed"," I've always been relaxed with you".He shut one of his eyes half closed, " I don't think that's totally true", he giggled, " you gave me a hard time"," I'm sorry about that", she smiled shyly," But that's not what I'm talking about. Right now, I have no idea what you're thinking, what is going on in your head, what you have in mind, you're confusing me"," How?"," I have feelings for you, Ari, I haven't had the chance to tell you but I need you, I think of you now and then, worry about how you're doing, if you're okay, if you've eaten, I want to wake up every day of my life with you by my side. I'm not a man of many words, but I love you, Ari, the thought of any other man's hand on you drives me crazy", he said closing his eyes and gritting his teeth, " I
Blue hopped on her feet, beaming with smiles as she strides towards her home through the not-so-bright alley, calculating the days with her fingers." Oh", she cooed," it's finally here. Five more days to get my salary", she grinned happily.Images and thoughts began to pop into her head, visualizing herself in the mall doing some shopping, buying some materials she had always wanted, the type of meal to cook, and what she needed to get.She unlocked her phone, still walking, and slid into Pinterest, searching for the kind of dinner gown to buy." I should buy myself some fancy female wear; I don't have a dinner gown, so let's get one that's not expensive", she mumbled to herself as she strolled through the images, her eyes switching from the road to her phone and back to the road again. She could see her house in sight now, " I will check more when I get home .."," Hey", a sudden rigid voice startled her. She turned to see who it was and saw two street men walking out of a corner
" huh?".Her eyes widened, and her cheeks became redder with her racing heart as she stared at him, standing on her feet but close to him." I'd have preferred you crash your lips on a wood instead of crashing it at my shirt," he said angrily and quickly looked at his shirt, " Oh, thank God, I thought you'd stained my shirt with your lips gloss."Blue sighed with her face that dropped, she rolled her eyes and leaped away from him.' what was I thinking?' she groaned in her mind.She proceeded to check the painting, and it touched it.' it's dry, 'she confirmed in her mind, her fingers curled up, and her mind skipped. She turned back at him," Not yet; it remains small," she said, stepping away from it and avoiding his gaze.Gael tried to conceal his smiles." Ugh! Guess I have to come here once again", he feigned a groan," No one is forcing you, I can get it delivered to your place"," Of course not, I can't risk it getting broken or something, I'll come and get it by myself "," You
With all hands on deck, accompanied by the silence of concentration that determines the string life of a soul, the only sound that could be heard is the beeping sound of the heart monitor."Scalpel", ordered the surgeon in a calm and firm tone. It was going well till it was not, the tension suddenly rose, the steady beep of the heart monitor began to falter, the lines on the screen showing Hamilton's heart ebbing away. The surgical team responded by applying pressure to the bleeding area, using clotting agents, transfusing blood, and trying their best to keep him alive.Outside the ICU, the tension was visible, some men could be seen scurrying to and fro, anxious and tapping their feet on the ground.She glared around, looking at their face that were busy with anxiety and fear, everyone was too busy with their feelings and emotions to pay any attention to her, her bandaged head hurt, she had run away from the nurse attending to her to search for her parents and seeing her family here
12 years later Smack! The thunderous slap across the cheek in the room could be heard. The sting of the slap was like a lightning bolt, jolting her senses. Her cheek burned with pain, her head reeling from the force of the blow. She winced, trying to hold back tears as she felt the humiliation and anger welling up inside her. This was not the first time she had been struck by Patricia, but the embarrassment and fear never seemed to fade. The rage in Patricia's eyes was like a shadow that hung over her, a constant reminder of her powerlessness and insignificance. " How did my clothes get stained!?" She yelled at her, but Clarisse could not utter a word, knowing the gravity. Not talking back at her is one of the rules she must not forget and not responding to her when she's talking is like looking for the tigress's trouble and cutting the tail of its baby. She had received the slap cause she was trying to explain. " Are you deaf?" She yelled, but all Clarisse could do was q
