Kingston felt the bullet hit his right leg, and he groaned out in deep pain. The dead silence from Lottie made him suspect that she had been badly hit, maybe even dead.

Kingston did not have the time to check who had shot at them, because right after he was hit, more bullets came flying. Fortunately, none of them hit him again as he doggedly went around the car and quickly got into the driver’s seat. Luckily for Kingston, Samuel Fury’s car was a bullet-proof car, so as long as he had been able to enter the car, he was somewhat relieved, because he knew that none of the flying bullets would hit him anymore.

Kingston quickly glanced around, trying to see if he could catch sight of the person who was shooting at them, but he could not see anyone. He was also confused, perplexed and shocked that none of the club’s officials had heard the gunshots and come to their rescue. So Kingston turned on the ignition and proceeded to drive out, because the faster, the better. The fact that the car

    Ciara watched Lori whom she had made to pass out by hitting her on the head with the big gun, and only then did she realize what she had done.She hadn’t meant to do that, but Lori had done nothing but infuriate her and test her patience. Ciara sat in the cabin room, close to Lori and waited. Lori was still breathing, which meant that she only passed out, so Ciara had no fear. The only regret she would have had would have been that she would not get any information from Lottie, but then again, she wasn’t even cooperative, so being awake was practically infuriating and useless to Ciara.Ciara waited and waited. It had been a while that Martin left, and he seemed to be taking too much time. She could not exactly recall the distance of the city to the woods, although she did remember that she had driven for such a long time before she arrived at the cabin, and also, she was certain that Martin would go in search of petrol on foot. It was getting to dawn, and Ciara needed to get all of

    Ciara hurried to the main cabin where she had been kept. It would not be described as a living room, because the features that usually adorned a living room were missing. The only parts of the cabin that could be tagged were the kitchen and their bedroom, because of what they had there. Before Ciara hurried out of the room, she quickly checked to be sure that Lori was still alive and breathing, and when she saw that Lori was, Ciara was a little relieved.Martin entered the cabin just as Ciara came out of their bedroom still holding the big gun. Her eyes met with Martin’s eyes, and Ciara tried to hold his gaze as good as possible, so that he would not suspect anything.“Did you get the petrol?” Ciara asked Martin.“Yes, I did,” Martin answered as he raised a medium-sized gallon of petrol. It was only then that Ciara even began to perceive the smell of it.“Good,” Ciara said.“Where is she?” Martin asked Ciara, then without waiting for an answer from Ciara, he began to call out loudly.

    Samuel paced and turned, breathing heavily and getting more upset by the second. He continued to glance at both the wristwatch and clock almost at the same time, checking the time.It had been almost an hour ago that he had spoken with Kingston, and he promised Samuel that he had already gotten Lottie, and that he would be bringing her to him in no time. That had been over an hour ago, and there were still no signs of Kingston yet! Samuel had even gone outside a couple of times in the last five minutes to be sure that Kingston had come, but still, nothing.“What the heck is wrong with him?” Kingston asked himself out loud. This was why Samuel hated to ask someone to do something. Most times, he preferred to carry out stuff like this himself, because by now, he would not be this restless and agitated. If only the club authorities had not thrown him out and warned him off their premises, he would have easily carried out this task himself. Samuel was even grateful that the club hadn’t p

    Samuel looked at Kingston’s body on his living room floor, frozen in shock. For a moment, he thought Kingston had died. The blood coming out of him was so much that he could not tell the places Kingston was stabbed.“Quinton!” Samuel bellowed.Quinton, who had been shocked and dazed by what she saw from her hiding position rushed out, fazed. “Yes sir!” She responded dreadfully.When she arrived beside Samuel, she began to shiver.“Get Doctor Pedro on the line right now!” Samuel ordered.Quinton ran to where the landline was, grabbed it and dialed the hospital with shaky hands. “Hello, there is an emergency at the Fury’s main residence. Please send an ambulance immediately!” She yelled into the phone.She began to shake fearfully and dreadfully, as though she would pass out, and this time around, Samuel decided to ignore her. Something was fearfully wrong. The people who were against Ciara were obviously strong and callous people; Samuel knew even though he was yet to speak to Kingsto

    Ciara drove to a reasonable distance and stopped. Even if Martin was chasing her on foot, she would have gone too far away from him to be able to catch up with her, and from what Ciara could see, the city was still far ahead.Ciara was sure that she wasn’t done with Martin and Lori for now, but she needed to get away, plan her next move meticulously, so that the next time she would appear in their cabin, they would have no choice but to tell her everything she needed to know.But for now, she needed another plan, one that involved where she would camp for the time being. Ciara could camp in the car, for sure, but certainly not parked by the roadside. Although she doubted people rarely moved these paths , she still would not take chances. “Where do I go from here?” Ciara asked herself, confused.She could neither go back nor go forward.She thought of Martin’s reaction when he would see the woman he loved so much, still tied up, unconscious and bleeding. Ciara hoped that Lori would ma

    Samuel looked at Linda, shocked. How in the world did she know that he would be at the hospital at that time? “How did you know I was here?” Samuel had to ask her. He remembered specifically telling Quinton not to tell anyone about it, but even so, Quinton had never met Linda, and he also left strict instructions to his guards not to let anyone at all into the building without his permission. Samuel was pretty sure that Linda did not go to the house, so how the heck did she know?“Does it matter?” Linda Luscious asked. She walked closer to Samuel and tried to touch him.But Samuel held her hand even before they could reach his body. “Yes, it does. What are you doing here?” Samuel insisted as he returned Linda’s hands back to where they belonged; by her side.“Okay, fine,” Linda sulked, “I came by for my antenatal check up, and I saw you rush into the hospital with the paramedics, so I decided to come and lend my support,” she lied.Okay, that explains it, Samuel thought to himself;

    Ruby and Colt waited for Linda to return with a positive result.“You were given a simple task, yet failed woefully at it!” Ruby barked at Hayes who stood by the corner of the living room.“I tried my best, but he was also greatly skilled,” Hayes responded.Both Colt and Ruby sent Hayes a disappointing look. He was beginning to act and sound like a broken record to them.“Aren’t you supposed to be the best at what you do?” Colt charged at Hayes.“I am certain he wouldn’t make it,” Hayes changed the tone of his voice, trying to sound sure and certain.“Well, I highly doubt that. You said it yourself that you trailed him all the way to the main house, and saw him stagger into the residence. You also said a few minutes later, he was rushed off in an ambulance to the hospital. Now tell me, if he survived your attack at the parking lot in the club, why would he die when he had already reached a place of safety, huh?” Ruby fired at Hayes. “You were supposed to kill him, Hayes!

    Samuel stayed at the hospital, restless, as he waited for Doctor Pedro to give him the two reports he was desperate to get; Kingston’s state of health and Linda’s pregnancy result.Doctor Pedro had really done him a whole world of good, and he had ensured that Linda would not know that such a test was conducted on her. Doctor Pedro walked up to Samuel a few minutes later. “Samuel,” he called gently.Samuel stood up. He was tired and tense, as he hadn’t slept a wink all through the night, even up until now, but his determination and resilience kept him energized.“Kingston is awake now,” the doctor told him. Samuel sighed in relief, grateful that all had gone well. “Were there any severe damages done to him?” Samuel asked with concern.“His shoulder joint was badly injured by the bullet, and as a result, he would need ample time to recover, but as for his leg, he should get back on his feet a week or two,” the doctor explained.Samuel rubbed his rough face with his palm and exhaled.

    It had been hours, and it was getting dark, Samuel was yet to return. Ciara became increasingly worried.She had eaten as many times as she had gotten hungry for, and did everything else, like launder her clothes, and hid in her room while she got it dried, but still, no sign of Samuel. “Where could he be?” Was the question that Ciara asked herself all day.Then she was beginning to regret falling asleep, but she could not have controlled it, even if she wanted to. As the pregnancy progressed, Ciara noticed that she had become easily hungry, tired, and sleepy now, and this really scared her, because it also meant that she might not be able to achieve most of what she wanted to achieve.Ciara was yet to visit the hospital and register for antenatal health care, and that was another problem that plagued her mind.It would be difficult to achieve, especially now that she was hiding out in Samuel’s penthouse, and was being sought by the cops.Ciara’s phone rang, jolting her out of her t

    "That’s a joke, right?” Samuel asked Jess.“You know I only tease on the phone, and not physically,” Jess answered.She was right, and Samuel knew this. He was just overwhelmed by shock to believe what Jess said. Samuel turned and looked at where he parked his car, and everywhere seemed peaceful and clear. Jess’s place was very open, so it would have been easy to spot anything amiss.“You don’t think your trailer would still be right there waiting for you to see him or her, right?” Jess asked, shaking her head when she noticed that Samuel was looking around, searching for his trailer.“Now I know that you are lying, because you can’t even tell if it was a male or female,” Samuel said, wanting to believe his own words so that he would feel relieved.“It is a black Mercedes with tinted glasses,” Jess said, indicating why she couldn’t catch the identity of the person. “And unfortunately, I didn’t get the plate number,” Jess added.“Are you being serious, Jess?” Samuel said, confused and

    Samuel got into his car and zoomed off, headed straight to the penthouse. He knew that Ciara might be worried about where he went, and also, he needed to tell Ciara about the recent development, and they did need to have a long discussion about what to do next. One thing that Samuel was grateful for was keeping his penthouse completely private, and even so, no one would ever be able to get in except he gave them the code.His phone rang, and when he looked at his screen, it was Jess that was calling him.“What have you found?” Samuel said the moment the call connected.“Slow down, mate!” Jess said, laughing. “Days ago, you weren’t so eager, so what changed?” Jess asked lightly.“Not everything is a joke, Jess,” Samuel said. There were a lot of things running through his mind, and the more he had knowledge of what was going on, the faster he could fix everything. “Don’t bite my head off,” Jess warned. “I am not one of your puppets, Fury, and you know I am not afraid of you,” Jess sa

    Samuel arrived at the police station in his own car, following the cops. He was boiling with anger, but his anger was to Colt, and not the cops, because they were simply doing what they were asked to do.“What is the meaning of this?” Samuel asked the moment he got into the office he was invited into before. The head cop signaled to Samuel to sit down, and although Samuel sat, he was still upset. This was the second time in a couple of days that he was being invited to the hospital, and he was no longer finding it a joke.“Mr. Fury, we have a lot against you,” he told Samuel.“How do you mean?” Samuel asked, not bothering to mask his anger. “I was here the last time, and you asked me to go, so what is this about?” Samuel demanded gruffly.“Our interrogation the last time was inconclusive, and we informed you about this, so inviting you back here shouldn’t be strange, or even rile you up,” the head cop said, saying the last words with caution.“You do know who I am, right?” Samuel thr

    Ciara waited for Samuel to return, but he seemed that was not happening any time soon. She had woken up much later after a disturbing dream, and had found the penthouse very empty. For the first time, Ciara found herself lonely in Samuel’s absence. Maybe it was because of the moment they shared together before she fell asleep, but she could not exactly tell.Then there was the deal with Rudge. Although he was yet to call her back, Ciara still did not want to take chances with him. This was her only opportunity to know about what happened, and contrary to Samuel’s belief, Ciara was certain that he truly had something to tell her. If there was anyone aside from the Luscious family who knew exactly why she went to prison, it would be an employee of theirs, especially the one that worked closely with Linda.All the years living with and knowing Linda Luscious, Ciara knew that she was full of shady and dirty things. There were always skeletons in her cupboard. So now that Rudge had called

    So you two created a gang behind my back,” Samuel questioned Kingston after Quinton had left.He intentionally stayed in the study while Quinton sorted out her things and left. Samuel would not go back on his words; he had already fired her, and that was it. Right now, he was even angry with everyone. So while he was struggling to put things in place and make things work out for him, his own employee had been sabotaging every move by reporting to Ciara. Now he understood why he was always seeing her staring at him weirdly; she had been eavesdropping on him every minute and reporting back to Ciara, which was why she had been able to stay two steps ahead.Now he felt like a horrible fool.“What is it with Ciara that everyone just wants to protect her?” Samuel asked himself in frustration. From his mother to his own employee, who was even trying to recruit his driver into the league. For the life of him, Samuel could not understand the hold that Ciara Summers had on everyone else. His

    Linda had locked herself up in the room ever since the scandal. She could not even bring herself to go anywhere as close as downstairs, because she did not even want to deal with curious stares from the employees. Not only had she been skipping meals, she had also been avoiding her parents, especially her mother, because she could not deal with any firm of judgments right now.In truth, the Luscious mansion had been somewhat gravely quiet ever since. Linda was a nervous wreck as she called Hayes. She had been calling him almost every ten minutes, but she could not bring herself to stop.“Anything else?” Linda asked the moment the call connected.“No, Linda. He has been in the main house for hours now. Maybe he has called it a day, and I think I should too,” Hayes said, sounding tired.“Don’t you dare move from there!” Linda barked. They had missed Samuel for days, unable to trail him, because he had gone to hide somewhere unknown, and Linda had quickly told Hayes where to find Samu

    Samuel got into the main house and flopped on the couch, extremely tired. From what he could see outside, all his domestic staff were in good shape and doing their jobs well, so Samuel closed his eyes and tried to take in as much rest as possible. He did not want to think much about anything for now; he just wanted to rest. If he could stay here for a couple of hours, and even take a nap in the process, he would be relieved, but shutting his brain off completely was not something he could do, considering all that was going on at the moment. He would need to take extra caution dealing with Colt henceforth, but Samuel could not tell if Kingston was now strong enough to get back to work. He knew he should have called Doctor Pedro to ask about Kingston’s improvement, but he had been swamped with things. Anyway, now that he was here, he would ask him personally. Samuel opened his eyes and looked around, and everywhere seemed quiet. Samuel was now used to catching Quinton standing by the

    Samuel drove home, his mind muddled up in thoughts. It was a card he played on Colt, and like a mirror, he saw right through Colt.More than ever before, and for the very first time, Samuel was certain that there was something amiss. Colt could not even answer the last question he asked him. Samuel thought of going to the penthouse, but he changed his mind last minute. He hadn’t been to the main house in days now, and since he was still in charge of the Fury house and wealth, he needed to go there and ensure that everything was okay.Changing directions now, his mind went back to Colt Luscious. Samuel knew what he hadn’t known for years now; he was also a victim of Colt and Ruby’s games, but he could not exactly put the points together. All along, he had been worrying so much about understanding what was going on in Ciara’s life and trying to piece together bits and pieces of the things he knew, and he had no idea that he might also need to piece them together. Now, Samuel was begin
