I don't know what's real no more from them, they are in disguise All my dad did was to love without condemnation, he wouldn't put any through pain, especially his brothers but it hurt the heart to feel hatred instead of love after all we've been together as ONE. Uncle Randy being the eldest and yet the mischievous brother had quite a history and a bad reputation at that, he has been reported many times by different eyewitnesses that were never opportune to see the next day after every trial. till the day he pleaded innocent and was released he had been the man in a black suit all times. A master to drug lords, a public human trafficker. How he manages to get back on his feet is quite a shock that no one has ever discovered. No evidence at the end of each tomb but death for anyone who vows to leak his secret, but it never bothered me so well till the day my father's hitman died a day before the trial date and Uncle Randy was nowhere to be found. I still suspect he. But I'm quite
LATIFAS POVIt was a beautiful evening, my friends had called me but I was far from getting my phone and when I actually did, I was out of credit. But as usual, they left some text that made me conclude that all was well and they were together, perhaps on the street like our usual days Probably wondering why, I am not with them tonight. I just feel unnecessarily sick. Maybe I don't want to be found there, not today. And don't want to end with a random mentally draining soul. No!********Betty. pov"You could imagine, I can't even boast of three clients in the past few days,” Betty said, beating off some accumulated dust behind my shorts as I walked. “Maybe that’s my bad luck to even have to think of it.” She gasped afterward. “Oh Wendy, yours is better, I had better be off like that than to be humiliated like I was the last time…you needed to have witnessed the scenarios'' I confronted her, as I began narrating my last dirty affair. “Seriously? What!?”“...it was a complete dis
ALASTAIR’S POVIt was a blissful perfect morning. I was Sliding through a short curve along the road as I continued jogging down the lonely estate with my music pod blasting in my ears. It was as early as 5:00 in the morning when I had left to burn up some accumulated calories and sugar that I had last night through late dinner. It was just like a normal routine to work out three times a week. Two hours lasted as I sprinted through the neighboring basement, seeing a couple having their garden cleaned. There was lots of trimming work going on the plant flowers. Their furious-looking dog was taking its lesion moment on a cleared part of the garden, as saliva dripped from its mouth; two seconds later, it began barking. "Shut up, bullet!" An older voice shunned, who I assumed to be the owner. The lady looked older than the man, likely in her late 40's. I waved at them but didn't stop till I got home. It was more of a greeting from strangers because we never get to roll well as compatr
Alastair’s POV I have always looked good, comfortable, or rather stunning in suits. It was never the first time but I felt uncomfortable today. I dressed in one of my new designer's white suits that I had custom-made in Hong Kong. it’s Always professional… like a regular thing to be in a suit anyway. It was a funeral service of one of the ranchers who had been a good friend and a lot of brothers. I glanced at their faces in the arena, they were weeping and some others were standing with their mouths covered with masks. 'Not everything that glitters is Gold, trust no one not even trust yourself'. the strong belief came through again but I didn't mind as I continued. Within hours, the corpse was placed below the pebbles and everyone was paying their due reverence, I had stayed just long enough to pay my respect and sample the carefully prepared luncheon. Saddened that a good friend had gone on to the other side of the world, I headed for my car. The cars were also white w
Latifa’s povCall him. Don't call him. Call him. Don't!Those were rent-free in my head and its repetition slavish. Dizziness flooded my sense of reasoning and as tipsy as I was, I was still concerned. My friends could laugh for all they cared but I was enticed by my thoughts. Last night, I was not having it when I tried making out with a client for ease of mind's sake. I went to the very club where I had met Alastair for the first time to have a drink. On getting there I popped into a man who convinced me to keep my night warm. We had a couple of drinks, a few chops, pizza, and extra drinks. My friends and I were enjoying the whole company and at the same time, they were scared for me, they knew how captive I had been held by Alastair's love, and with the act I was displaying right there, they were totally against it. They left with their sponsors for tonight leaving me with the least of them. I pulled up with him in a room he had paid for and let him kiss me all over my body, with hi
Latifa’s POV As early as seven o'clock in the morning I had woken up from my bed, making breakfast, fried plantain with a cereal when I heard Wendy calling out my name from the door entrance."You have a package Latifa, come sign it," Wendy said "I didn't place an order for anything," I said, with my flip-flop responding as I stepped out with my robe on. "Well, it's well described as yours…come down, okay?... She's coming." "Okay?" I purred out Delivery man: LATIFA? please, sign here ma'am."What are they?" I asked the delivery man but he had replied with confidential principles and I let it slide. The package came with a big carton as a package which it can always be. Like a little product from A****n with lots of cartons attached. I began to open the box.I was shocked, stunned on seeing..."Wow! Gadgets?" Betty screamed in surprise with her hands cupping her mouth, her warm eyes speaking more than her mouth could do. She hugged me so tight, then released me and kissed me a
Randy’s POV “That son of a bitch had the nerves to treat me like a trash?” I sparked up, “Why is he too weak and adamant?” I yelled in anger. For damn sake, I’m his uncle to feel belittled. I obviously felt belittled, maybe ever since I knew I had to fight for every single thing, starting from my right, down to my position in the Deacon’s family. Hell! “You mean, your brother’s son” Nina chuckled, “I mean, you had the whole time to get rid of him but you never did, you were Carried away by the mischievous mistress of yours, who did nothing but rip you and betrayed you. worst of worst, you did nothing!” Nina sparked in anger, “you couldn’t slit her throat or hang her in the closest view of the church as a proper sacrifice”Nina, my legitimate sister never liked my guts and mistresses but there are things even I, myself can’t control. She is talking about my ex-sweetheart. Houston, oh, I miss those days. The days I had my freedom to things I could rule, beautiful Women, people, places
Alastair povBack at home. After a long day at the office, I sat at my working pace, unwinding different thoughts. Tonight, I wish to talk with her, but this time, I hope she uses the electronics I got for her_ a gesture to show my sincere interest and how much and far I’m willing to go for the short decision of ours. I couldn’t imagine that I’d spent roughly, 8 hours researching for the best devices. It was never my thing; it was so unlike me. I would have sent the boys to do them but I couldn’t stop myself either! Beneath the excitement, lingers a hint of anxiety surrendered by different questions without an atom of answer. I hope she likes it. Would she be surprised? What If she rejects it or decides to give it away?“Oh please,” I murmured, embracing my brow with my finger in relief. With a quick gaze at my wristwatch, I picked up my phone, unresting my back from the seat as I demanded for a coffee. It’s going to be a long night.“Yay,” I exclaimed in excitement as I viewed t
RANDY POVI gently walked into the dark room with my head up. The dim light flickers from the bulbs hanging by frayed wires casting a harsh shadow on my leather suit, yet on the white blood-stained peeling walls. The room ventilation sucks. The air oozing out from the space is thick with bad smells, sweat, smoke, and blood. I stood finally, gazing around and finally meeting the victims, they were tied to an iron chair, they looked sick, weak, and unable to breathe well.I paces around, with a thick cigarette dangling from my lips, my eyes were clear like an eagle but the only difference were that I obtained mine from the smoke. It clouded my nine. My face and gaze went restless. My gaze was restless but eventually rested somewhere. The victims, who was barely stable, wince as I stood firmly in front of them."What do you do if the good man changes his mind? I ask you one more time, where is the rest of the clip?" I roar, nodding my head to more torture over the two victims. “You think
Alastair POV "Mm mm... mmm," I mumbled and I whistled at the same time as I continued cooking. "I can't believe I suck in cooking!" I despised the inability. "Then, why do I have to spend half an hour on YouTube and still, nothing!" I fumble as I slice through the onion. I was fighting to fry an egg with some coffee, but I was still not getting it right. Breakfast in bed is totally not my style. "She better not waste it" I confronted myself I cracked two eggs into a bowl and added a pinch of salt. Deep fried it, and it got burnt and salty again, I quickly disposed of it in the bin. I let out a frustrated breath and took out the pan from the fire. " I guess I will have to start again." On swinging my face to the kitchen table, I was baffled by the number of broken shells. 8 eggs? Holy lord. Moments of silence flooded my thinking, and I went mute. "Oops," Pathetically, I began the cooking again, and I promised that this would be my last attempt. And finally, it was much better th
Alastair closed the door behind him. There was noise coming from the neighborhood that seemed like a fight. He wanted to react, but I held his hands and stared deep. I was faded in his gaze. "Please, sit," I managed to murmur. With his hands cupping mine, he sat beside me and hugged me with my head resting on his chest like a newborn resting on her mother's arms. He didn't make a noise but tightened the hug as I began catching my breath. "Uhm, is… tight here," I murmured as I attempted to separate from his hold. He stood immediately and asked if there were items. Ingredients for a meal. "Potatoes? Can you cook?" "Hell no! But maybe it might come out pleasant or something," he assumed, I giggled as I watched him demonstrate how possible it was going to become. Right there, I could see a man trying his optimum best to make me smile. I felt cared for, and at the same time, I felt like a burden because shouldn't he be at the office by today? "No, no, come back…you are fast an
Alastair POV My feelings are getting complicated and messed up by the day, I can’t place my mind on anything other than LATIFA. Her body. The scars! I’m too curious to meddle in her past affairs especially now that I'm fighting not to be deeply attached to her, that is, if I haven't. My thoughts were loud in my heart but numb to anyone's hearing. I watch her lay unconsciously on the medic bed peacefully, and the nurses carrying out their job. Supposedly I met my fingers supporting hers, tempted to kiss them but I let it be. On her right upper arm was a wound I believe she must have been scratching always. It's still fresh and needs some dressing. I let the nurse pay attention to the wonder site. After a while, I left to get us a meal. LATIFA POV The week rushed to a close, and before I knew it, it was the last day of the week, Saturday. I ended up spending minutes, hours, and days in the hospital receiving treatment that reminded me of my lifetime trauma, all because of bruis
As early as 5:00 a.m., I got a call from an official number but was too tired to pick up my phone. After a while, I did, and it was from whom I expected. His call came in again… Alastair: Today is supposed to be the doctor's appointment, Me: Seriously? _I forgot, give few minutes to freshen up. Alastair: I'll be at your place in the next hour. Please be ready. Did you forget about tomorrow's dinner as well? Me: No, I didn't forget the meal part. I was going to make it. Alastair: okay, beautiful. I'm close, see you soon. I toss the phone on my shitty bed and proceed to the bathroom, I unzipped and laid down every bit of clothes that I was on onto the floor and I dash into the tube. I squeezed toothpaste into my brush and had it scrub my teeth, I scrubbed and washed, rinsed, and dried every crucial area my mind asked me to, in case the doctor had to carry out private consultations. I was prepared for this shit. On getting to the reflector, I raised my leg and had it placed on
Latifa’s POV"Seat belt_" a hard voice commanded "Don't talk to her like that" Alastair shunned his driver's decree over me as he made his way. Fixing up the belt himself. Sexy. I laid back and watched as this man who had been smiling at me switched up. He raised his face to mine and I felt his breath with his clear eyes and then back to the driver. "You are fired!" Alastiar declared and positioned back to me, If anything was holding the tension between his lips from touching my lips, I would put the blame on the wind and space between. They were probably envious of the moment. But did he just sack the guy? Holy fuck! Now, I'm caught between pleading for his kiss or the poor guy's redemption. I cleared my throat as well as the second thought. It wasn't the best time to ask for a favor.I missed those lips on mine. Damn! He smelled so well; I peeked through the dark flour of the car and the gleaming sparkles reflected. It was his shoe. Nice brand anyway. Raising my gaze to meet h
LATIFA POV Keeping his mistress' visit off the chat was difficult, especially now that we were seated for a really rare reason. I avoided eye contact with him. I was shy for no reason, but I maintained my sneeze and composure.“Woah…aah” I giggle at the pop-up sound of the champagne, as I watch it being poured into a round-shaped glass which is almost equalized in its volume, it has an amazing shape. Any little stuff would make me happy right now, can't remember the last time I was this comfortable or rather felt safe. “Here you go.” Alastair served me as he bowed, gesturing with his right hand to drink up and the other hand attached to his back like a granny with some back pain. He made his way to the seat fixed opposite mine with a huge smile on his lips. He sat down, swiped his fingers across his face, and wiped mucus from his nose line, just right above his lips. surprisingly, I met his eyes fixed on me with his mouth taking in the drink. Alastair had on, a black fitted p
