Anna shoved her car keys in her drawer, and lay under her duvet. After waiting for three hours, the old man didn't show up. She recalled he clearly told her that he would be there, he lives around the cemetery, but after all her wait, no one showed up. She looked around, but there was no house in the vicinity, it was purely a long graveyard, who would build a house there. Anna rolled on her bed, hitting her head really hard, even though it hurts, she didn't care, seeing him is making her go nuts. She suddenly flinches and stood up from the bed when she recalled seeing a small boy passed, he was crying but even while she called out to him, he didn't stop, he kept walking until he got out of sight. 'Are my going crazy? This is all weird stuff, I can't be a psycho, are my, it doesn't make sense' She thought. Even when Christ turned to him, he didn't see anything, there was clearly no one there, but how did she see him? He even smiled at her before he disappeared. She was deep in he
Anita pulled out Lorenzo's card from her bag and dialed his contact, and in one ring he picked up the call. "Hello, Lorenzo on the line, who are my on to?" He asked in a calm tone, waiting for her response. Anita exhaled and relaxed back on the couch with her both legs crossed together, her hands on her hair, twirling it. "It's Anita, we met earlier today at the restaurant, remember." She replied in a low tone that could still be heard by a third party. Lorenzo grinned when he heard her voice, it was like he had expected her to call already. I knew she was going to call, everything went easier than I thought, maybe I should have showered her with more compliments, he thought. "Apologies, I'm sorry, I should have recognized your sweet melody voice, I got carried away, that's why I didn't get it." Anita's cheek turned red, with the tip of her nose, she was red like a tomato with just a small compliment, he deliberately showers her. "Oh please, you don't have to tease me, why show
Anna turned off her car engine, inhaled and exhaled. She shook off the feeling she had been having since she woke up. She felt something strange and has not been acting her usual self. She has been having the feeling of something bad was about to happen, but has no idea why she felt that way. She picked up a banquet of flowers and her bag before stepping out of her car, and stride further to Maria's office with a tight-lipped smile on her face. It's being awhile she visited and thought it would be best to pay her a visit. "Is your Boss around?" She asked her secretary. "Yes, ma'am, I will notify her you're here." She replied, and turned to the direction of her office. She came back and asked her to go in, Anna thanked her and made her way into the office with a smile marred on her face. Immediately she walked in, she came into view with Maria and William, the gentleman she met from last time at her office. "Aunt Maria, I have missed you." Anna said, and hurriedly pulled her into
They walked for another thirty minutes, and finally, they could see a light a bit far from them. It was a mud house, with three small rooms built close to each other. They halt in front of the house breathing fast. Anna was almost lifeless carrying Christ on her back, it was something she had never done in her entire life. She never had brothers nor sisters to carry on her back, but today she was carrying someone in his middle 30s. After regaining a bit of strength, Billie turned to Anna, their gaze locked together. Anna nodded her head in approval, and slowly started to bring Christ down from her back "Hello! Hello! Hello! Is anyone here." Billie called out, but got no response, which made Anna panic even more. Anna nodded again, signalling her to try one more time. Billie lean closer to the entrance, this time with her voice louder. "Helllloooo, anyone here?" She called out again. Suddenly, an old woman in her late 80s holding a stick to support her, slowly strode out of the
"Father, we have been waiting for over twenty minutes, and Christ isn't here, did you not say you called him?" Frank asked and gritted his teeth. The punch he gave him from last time still makes Frank angry anytime the memory creeps into his head. He has been staying on a low-key to avoid getting caught by Lorenzo. The last time at the club he didn't get to see the person's face because of the dim lights. But the voice, were still very fresh in his head, and he would remember it even in his dreams. He had a plan for Christ, but he was waiting for Christ to inform them he had gotten rid of Lorenzo. "Why are you so impatient? How many times has he waited for you? You can't even count it, but for just twenty minutes you're already complaining." Ruth spat at him. "I wasn't talking to…." He was cut off by the glare his father threw at him. The redness in his eyes made frank shrieked. His father could be a monster just like Christ, even much more than Christ himself, Christ took afte
It's been two days, and Christ hasn't woken up, the old lady already said there isn't much possibility for him to survive, his chance of surviving was low, which got Anna even more worried.She has become pale and disheveled, her features have gotten dark, she was slowly loosing hope.Anna was never an optimist, she has always tried to be, but thing's just keep falling apart, making her lose hope even more.Billie had been the one giving her strength, encouraging and praying more for a miracle to happen.The old lady has been kind to fed them and give them a place to sleep, but Billie hasn't slept for days because Anna keep having her nightmares.Billie walked into the mud, she strode further and tap on Anna who was deep in her thoughts, with her gaze on a sleeping Christ.Anna had sent her to go check up on the car they brought with them. It was a long walk, but Billie had to do as instructed."Sis I'm back." She whispered into her ear. She diverted her gaze back to Billie, her lips t
Christ pulled up in his mansion late midnight, the long drive back to the main city finally came to an end.Anna and Billie were still sleeping, he had to drive them back and ask Anna to sleep because she was slowly closing her eyes on their way, while driving.He step down from his car, and his gate man came running towards him, panting heavily."Boss, Boss, where have you been? everyone has been worried about you, the chairman came earlier today but I told him you weren't in, that you left the city, but he wasn't convinced." He rushed out in one breath.Christ took some calculated stride, close the little space between them and pat his back."I'm sorry I made you all worry, but I'm fine now. Quickly call Jake and inform him I'm around, but he shouldn't tell anyone, not even my friends.""I will call him right away, but I think he's at the hospital, he's girlfriend Lucy put to birth a bouncing baby girl." He responded, and Christ face lit up.The thought of having a baby with Anna cre
"Yes, Just like that, Ahhhh…" The sound of moan and thrust filled the room, while Ashley screams in pleasures.It went on for another thirty minutes, they both collapse on the bed panting heavily to catch their breath.Ashley turns to look at the figure next to her, she placed her hands on his chest rubbing it gently, and trailing circles on it."I know you want something, that's why you past the night here, tell me what you want from me." The manly voice said.Ashley, twirls the hair on his chest while she tries to form words in her mouth.He might probably not accept her request, and he's the only one that can get her what she wants."I want you to look into someone for me." She breathe out, and lean in to kiss him."And who is this someone you want me to look into, was his name?" He asked again, she hesitated to tell him because she knows he wouldn't like it."It's Christ, the third Son of Salvador, I want you to find the girl he likes and get her for me, I want to teach her a lesso
The next day.Kaka and Billie were engrossed playing with Anna's baby, laughing, while she looked at them filled with Joy. The pass seven months was a living hell for her, but she was grateful she finally put to birth, even though she lost one of her baby.Maria slid the door open, which diverted their attention, thinking it was the men. Immediately her gaze rested on Anna, she beams at her with love."Where are my babies? Grandma is here." Maria announced, making her way inside."Aunt Maria, I have missed you." Anna said, and pulled her into a warm hug."I miss you more baby, I'm sorry you went through all those pains alone, it's over now." Maria said, and disentangle the hug.Anna cast her gaze down with a small smile on her face."I'm sorry, I lost one of the babies." She mumbled, with a bitter heart. She tried not to do anything with my mind, but it wasn't easy with all those pains she went through.Maria looked at how pale she had become, and almost teared up, but she pushed it b
10:30pmAt Ejimae's MansionAnna has been inhaling and exhaling for the past fifteen minutes. She felt has stomach tightened, and her legs lame. This hasn't happened to her before, but today she's experiencing such.She couldn't bear it any longer, and slowly eased her steps to the living room, to check if Ejimae was back. He had informed her about an hour ago that he was heading out.She strides to the living room, to find a few of his guards whispering to each other. As soon as they felt her present, they quickly bowed their heads."Where is your Master? Is he back?" She asked, vigorously."No, is there something you need us to do for you?" One of them asked, and lifted his head up."I have to go to the hospital, please inform the driver to come take me to the hospital." Anna said, holding back the pains she was feeling."No, you can't leave the house, you have to wait for the master's return, go back inside and wait." One of the figures responded.Anna slowly lifted her head up, on
Ray pass Christ his phone when it starts to ring. Christ took a look at the caller, and smiled."Hello Aunt, how are you doing? And how's grandma?" Christ asked."We're fine. I'm flying back to City L to take good care of you, I'm certain you must look pale." Ruth said, in a worried tone."Aunt you can't come over to City L, I have told you I'm fine, and soon we will find my wife." He assured her."But Christ you don't sound okay on the phone, let me come over, I'm not doing much here. Grandma is taking care of the crucial job here, and your manager is great with his work.""I Know this has to do with my wife absent, but believe me, I'm fine. Ashley quest to help us locate her, and I agreed. If Ejimae is her biological father, he definitely must see her if she requested for a meeting."Ruth heaved a loud sigh, and exhaled."Are you sure about that? You know your relationship with her, it might be a set-up.""I don't think it is, she wants to help, she said she wants to apologize to he
Anita stepped down from her car, and marched to her sister with a smirk on her face, playing with the keys she's holding.She got to where she stood and halt in front of her, making herself comfortable on her sister's car bonnet.After getting seated, she didn't say a word, and just stared at Ashley, who was waiting patiently for her to speak up."You ask me to come over, but you're not saying anything." Ashley spoke up."Ashley, why are you suddenly back? You left without a word after the police came in search for mum, and all of a sudden, you want to see her, don't you think it's strange?"Anita wanted to be certain her sister was not planning to betray them. She knows her relationship with Liam has grown stronger before she disappeared.She thought maybe Liam would be the one prompting her to reconcile with her, so they can locate Beatrice and send the cops over to get her.After all, his father died, when he heard of his best friend's death. So, he blames Beatrice for his death."
Anna sat in front of the mirror, touching her face with foundation, when her soon-to-be husband strode inside the room without knocking.Immediately she heard the door barge open, she cussed underneath her breath. She has complained a thousand times for him to stop making his way inside without her consent, since he has forbidden her from locking the door.As he strides towards her, she drop the brush and stood up to look at him, with a frown on her face."I thought you promised to change? Is this how you want to keep on barging into the room?" She sounded pissed."Why do you have a problem with me not knocking? This is my house, my roof you're in, don't tell me what not to do.""I have every right to, you can't keep treating me like a slave if you want this marriage to work.""Let's not have this conversation, I won't let you ruin my day. If you're done with what you're doing, come to the living room and pick out your wedding gown."Anna's mouth gasped open, at the mention of the wed
Billie trailed behind Christ to his office, pleading with him to work with Ashley, so she can help find Annabelle. But Christ doesn't seem to buy the whole idea. Ashley is the last person he wants to work with, not after what they did to Anna."Uncle Christ please you have to do this for me, I know you miss your wife, work with her please." Billie pleaded, immediately they stride into his office.Christ heaved a sigh, "Ashley is not to be trusted, if you trust her, I don't, not after everything they did to my wife, it's not possible." Christ responded, with his voice a bit loud."Wait, what's with the hatred? Don't tell me this has to do with your relationship with her in the past?" Steve asked.That's the only reason he thinks Christ doesn't want to work with her, not because he can't confide in her."You have to do this for your wife and your unborn child, don't you miss them?" Billie asked, thinking that's the only word that can change his mind.Christ spun around when she made men
SEVEN MONTHS LATERBillie stride to Khalifa's office to drop the documents he quested form her. For the past seven months, ever since Anna got missing and Romeo lost his life, she has been the one who took up Romeo's job.She had to stop the catering she loved to do most, and thanks to kaka who has been coming around to help from time to time.She got to his office, and without knocking, she strode inside with a long face, looking unhappy.Khalifa lifted his head up to look at her. The expression on her face made him heaved a sigh, before he thought of striking a conversation with her."Billie, what's with that face of yours? Are you sick?" Khalifa asked, with raised brows."I'm okay, just a bit tired. You know, I have been working for the whole week."Khalifa stood up and pulled her into a hug, her head rested on her chest, while he strokes her hair."I'm sorry. I just got off the phone with kaka, she will be flying in tomorrow, your work will less when she comes." He assured her, an
Christ step out of his car. He fixed his neck tie, and leisurely marched into his wife's company.As he led his way to her office, all eyes were glued to him, astound to see him. His body was said to be missing, but today, out of the blue, he is striding in the mixed of people heading to his wife's office.He got to her office, and her secretary quickly stood up to welcome him."Good morning, sir, she's not inside." She greeted."What do you mean? Did she call in that she won't be coming to the office?" Christ asked.She cast her gaze down, thinking of what to say to him. She overheard Khalifa saying she's nowhere to be found, and she couldn't tell him that."Are you deaf? I'm talking to you, did she call in sick?""Do not shout at her brother, if you miss your wife, what took you so long to come find her?" He heard Steve's voice and spun around.Steve stride towards him with a sad expression on his face. He halt in front of Christ , staring deep in his eyes."Where is my wife, Steve?
Anna was trying to use her power's but to stop them from dragging her, but she couldn't. Since she conceived, she has been abstaining from using her mind to cause harm because of her unborn child. She's scared of losing her baby.She has abstained from using her power's to avoid killing her child. The last time she almost tried to use it, she lost too much blood, and ever since she's taken precautions.They were still endeavoring to drag her upstairs when Ejimae showed up unannounced."Stop it." He thundered, diverting their attention, and Anita quickly let go.Anna spun around, immediately she saw him, her soul almost left her body, yet she stood strong.Beatrice still clutched her tightly, refusing to let go of her. Ejimae stride closer to her, and the next thing she heard was a resounding slap on her face.That was for disobeying his orders."How dare you slap my mother because of this thing?" Anita spat at him, taking a step back."If I'm still your father, she remains your mother
