I heaved in a sign of relieve “A perfect plan, on a perfect day" I let out a smirk and headed to the convoy. The weather looks calm and beautiful, everything was perfectly placed in the right position which reminded me of how perfect my plans were going. The gentile breeze wafted through the slightly opened window, blowing to flame the anger that was burning in me. I got to the hospital feeling more energetic and alive than I have ever felt. Seeing the powerful Montenegro who everybody once feared lying helpless on a bed that is half the size of my trashcan gasping out for breath all because of me, his wife stood at a Conner trembling in fear with tears rolling uncontrollably from her eyes. I looked back at Montenegro who had his gaze fixed on me with disgust written all over. I let out a wide smile as his look gave me a feeling of satisfaction. “Montenegro” I called out. “Your greatest nightmare came to see his old friend who is sick of a stroke. Hope I am welcome” I questioned wit
I moved out of the way for him to pass, with smiles on my face trying so hard to hide the nervousness that was slowly creping in because of his presence. I watched him closely as he left the door and walked past me, but then stopped and turned back as though he forgot something. He looked at me with a stern glare and an expression that depict disgust before going to meet my parent. I couldn’t tell why he had that sulky look, but then I could tell that something wasn’t all right. I immediately followed him and ran towards my mother who stood by a Conner of the room with tears rolling down her eyes, and some pieces of dollar note littered on the floor. “Mom, you have to stop crying, and tell me what is going on” I interjected, with a tone of urgency. As my heart throbbed as though wanting to fly out from my chest. I waited for her responds but didn’t get any, stretched out my arm and gave her a warm hug to stop her from crying but that didn’t help, as more tears rolled down her eyes s
“Don’t touch my daughter, she didn’t do anything to you” my father finally broke the silent with a trembling voice, as he struggled to stop the tears that had already started flowing from his eyes. My heart began to throb rapidly, as the boiling sound of anger made its way to my brain causing me to hate with passion the figure that stood opposite me. “Ho, Montenegro, I see you are now very humble" Laughs mockingly “kneel down to me, so that I would consider your request” he said in a command. I was still trying to process everything that was happening, when I saw my mother run towards him and kneel with tears rolling down her cheeks. “Please she is the only child we have got, don’t harm her let her go” she pleaded “Am I the target? Nobody has said anything to me” I knew it was time to act, but then acting in ignorance would only add fuel to the already blazing fire. I needed to think fast and at the same time think smart. “Montenegro, can you tell this whore to get out of my way?
Ashely’s pov“What!?”I thundered, as my heart suddenly beings to palpitate as though threating to jump out of my chest. Breathing so fast, I raised my head gradually in surprise, uncertainty and anger and meet his cold stern glare peering directly at me. His words thundered into my ears like distorted sound of frequency, making the environment sound noisy and rowdy despite it being dead silent. I turned my gaze towards my parent expecting them to say something or rather call the cops on the monster standing in front of me but that looked impossible because, they both had more fear and confusion clustered on their faces. The environment is for real, tensed. And all I can think of at the moment is to eliminate the cute monster who is trying to shatter my family, my dreams to pieces. “This has become my battle, and I am going to fight it to the end” I braced up and faced him, but at first glance, I looked like a baby mouse at the feet of a giant elephant. That didn’t have so much effec
But for now my darling, we need you to run as fast as you can.” This time my mom spoke in a more audible voice but with agitation adorned on her face. As she spoke, I couldn’t help but wonder why they were both scared of him. The parent I grew up with, thought me to face my fear and not to allow anyone treat me wrongly by always standing my ground, but with everything happening now, I can’t really tell if they are still holding on to their principles or has allowed fear to rule their mind. “Mom… are you guys guilty of the accusation he made earlier? Did you and dad really kill his parent to take away their wealth?” I questioned in a very low tone with my head buried in between my legs. A long pause silenced our conversation making it easy to hear the sound of our breath, every second counted as though it’s was decade. Several thought cladded my mind and slowly I began to question who I really was, I expected my parent to immediately interject, the moment I asked the question but ins
I sat with my hands fixed on my chin as several though pooped on my head making me feel scared and uncertain, Ministers Falcon's voice kept playing a sound that wasn’t pleasing to hear at all which made every second seems as long as an hour. I grew up knowing him as someone who doesn’t go back to his words, and until I find a wife for myself, he would go to whatever extent to make sure I marry his friend’s daughter. “Now that he has spoken about getting married, I would be forced to decide for Ashely myself. And at this point, she would be left with no other choice than to marry me” I muttered as I stretched my hands and grabbed my phone that was lying lifeless by the side of my table. My eyes immediately darted towards the time the moment it turned on. “Wow” I shouted in utmost surprise. She thinks she is smart” I yelled sauntering around my office with a gloomy look and a beating heart. I needed to think of a way to go around this without causing extra trouble and dragging so muc
I said, steams of tears gathered in my eyes making it difficult for me to read accurately the number on the card, my whole body started shaking as though dogged into a big jar of ice, and the environment became tensed as everybody had their heart held on their hand. “F**k that wicked man would be here in a minute. Are you sure you want to do this” she asked as tears rolled down her cheeks. I picked up my phone and stared at the number I was about to punch “Yes Mom” I responded.picked up my phone and punched his number with my heart beating as though in a race, as soon as it rang, he answered but decided to stay mute. I couldn’t bring myself to utter any word as all I thought about was horror. “Why did you call me if you didn’t have anything to say” he bellowed at the other side of the phone making me freeze in fear, my heart was already broken and shattered to pieces, all I knew to do at the moment was cry “you know what, I don’t have all the time to listen to you cry, whatever deci
“You should learn to mind your business and not interfering in other peoples matter. Get ready, the boss has a big punishment for going against his number one rule.” He bellowed in a very harsh tone, without an iota of sympathy in it. I placed my hands on my chest, to feel my heart beats” it’s barely an hour here, and I already have a big punishment to serve.” I heaved out in frustration “what kind of a man dose he even think he is?” I questioned, while fighting the tears that had already gathered in my eyes. After a very long walk, we got to a big brown door without an opening handle. The door looked so big and could be likened to the gate of a city. The entrance to the door, was wide and vast but there was something off about it, unlike where we started walking from, the place looked bleak, isolated and dissolute. That added an extra confusion to my already confused state. I still couldn’t tell where I was “his office, his home, a factory, where exactly am I?” I inquired out of cur
