As she stood in front of the building, an unexplainable fear grilled her and she sighed, the chances of her getting out of the building alive were very slim but as usual, she had to put her life on the line. She walked into the building, hands still on her stomach and the moment she walked in, she heard bullets being fired from the top and on looking, a pillar almost landed on her but she was swift to move out of harm’s way.“Daniel! Daniel” she called amidst the bullets that were being fired and she had to hold on to her stomach. She climbed up the stairs and even though it was very painful, she had no choice… she had to fulfill her duties. On getting to the final floor, she gasped in shock, Daniel had been held down by goons and he looked badly injured. The goons also did but he looked worse and she immediately hid, she couldn’t risk being founded out by the goons. She looked around, she wished she had a dagger at this point in time, she would show these goons who the boss was
She angrily moved forward as they led her to the same area where Daniel had been kept only that she was now far from him. The guns were now pointed at her head and it was distracting Daniel and he was getting beaten pretty badly.She was angry and humiliated, she couldn’t imagine herself being the source of pain for him.She turned to one of the goons, “shoot me… shoot me if you have the guts” she told him and she fixated his gun right on her head“What are you doing Kathryn?” Daniel asked and this time when the man wanted to hit him, he bent and sent the man flying across the room into a pillar “I said shoot me… or don’t you have the guts?” She asked with a smirk on her face and the man stared at her shocked“You look like someone who’d just escaped a hospital.. you’re still wounded.. we don’t wanna kill you or your family would die “ he told her and she chuckled “Your mistake then” she told him and before he knew it , she turned the gun at shot at his head immediately. The other g
She stared at the unconscious Daniel in shock before proceeding to shake him, “Daniel, Daniel “ she called as she rolled him over her so she could get up. She winced in pain as she held on to her stomach, the stitches from the surgery were bound to have come off after the day’s activities. She looked at her clothes, they were bloodstained and when she put her hand beneath his head, she saw blood and gasped, he’d been injured on the beads. She gasped before shaking him.“Wake up Daniel, wake up” she told him as she tried giving him chest compressions but they weren’t helping.“If he doesn’t wake up, it means I’ve failed” she said to herself before putting her hand on her forehead.. she couldn’t fail, there was no way she could fail.She’d failed once as an assassin, she couldn’t fail now as a guard. She managed to get him on her back despite how weak she was as she used the shaky walls for support while many parts of the building came crashing down as she walked out of the building.
Daniel slowly opened his eyes as he looked around and he saw Kathryn opening a cupboard and keeping clothes. When he saw that she was turning to him, he immediately closed his eyes. He wanted to know how she’d been treating him the whole time he was unconscious. She walked to the bed and sat beside him before putting a towel in a bowl and then squeezing the water out before putting it on his forehead. She did it so carefully like she was his wife and he couldn’t help but smile. Despite being such a talented assassin and goon, he’d hands still felt so delicate when they touched his forehead and it was when he smiled that she realized that he had regained consciousness.“Daniel?” She called like a mother would call a child she’d just caught stealing ice cream in the middle of then night.He slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his face and as he tried to get up, she put her hand behind him before putting a pillow so he could sit well. He saw that an IV drip had been connected to
Not wanting the whole atmosphere to become cringy, she acted like she didn’t hear what he’d said.“I know you heard what i said but it’s not what you think” he said and she stared at him.“And what do you think I think?” She asked“I don’t love you as a person, I love you as a chef” he said and for some reason, his words hurt her but she decided to play cool.“That’s what I was thinking “ she said and they both chuckled“But for real, I love your food. It’s the best I’ve ever had” he told her and she smiled“My cousin thought me to cook “ she said and paused, it was obvious she didn’t want to continue but she’d already started and gotten him interested in the conversation so she had to continue.“And your mum, I’ve never heard about your mum” he told her and she got off the bed“You don’t know me so it’s fine if you don’t know her.. you don’t even need to know her “ she said before going to get a napkin and cleaning his mouth. After she had finished feeding him, she took the plates
Kathryn gulped, there was no way she could tell him the truth. She couldn’t tell him the main reason she took a billet for someone she barely knew but one thing was for sure, she had to get answers, answers that couldn’t be gotten had that man been shot. She inhaled deeply,“I’ll tell you but you’ll have to answer my question first “ she told him. She was doing her possible best to divert his attention, she didn’t want him to know her plans yet. It was only after she’d gotten the answers she sought that she would confide in him.“Tell me, what is it?” He asked. If answering any question of hers would get her to answer to the reason she’d taken a bullet for someone who wanted to ruin him, he was willing to do it. According to him, there was no question she wanted to ask that he would have an answer to. His personal life, professional life, mafia life, he had answers to all of these questions so hence, he was willing to answer them. Besides, what was it that she wanted to know?
Lips still pressed against each others’, eyes widened in shock, arousal was taking place and Kathryn knew very well what this was doing to him but she didn’t care, why should she? She wasn’t paid by some random man to seduce the mafia don now was she? He’d paid her himself. He’d given her the offer himself. She didn’t tell him she was in dire need of a job and neither did she beg him to give her a job after providing a résumé that informed him that she was a seductress. He’d chosen to hire her of his own accord didn’t he? He had to deal with it. When she saw that he was beginning to enjoy it, she moved her head back and rested her hands on the bed so she could balance well with a smile on her face.“Did you like you gift?” She asked him as she passed naughty winks to him with that smile on her face, that smile that did things to him.“I….I don’t even know “ he told her with honesty. He could have never believed that she would take such a bold step.“I don’t know? Honestly, that
With a smile on her face, she put a foot forward as she walked towards him before going to sit by him on the bed. “Why are you drooling? It’s just a lady in your room after all” she said with a wink on her face as she put her hand on his shoulder before moving her face closer to his. “Won’t you say good morning?” She asked in a voice as low as the height of a bead on the floor He pulled her by the waist closer to himself before rolling her on the bed so he was on top of her and she could feel her heart begin to race very fast. She gulped as she stared at his face, it was so close to hers and even though he’d just gotten out of bed, he still smelt so good. He tucked her wet hair behind her ear as he stared at her face with a smile. He could feel her heart race and beat so quickly and it made him feel so good. He bent and placed a soft kiss on her slightly exposed cleavage.“Trying to play miss seductress aren’t you?” He asked as he gave a side smile while his gaze didn’t break f
“Kathryn, are you sure you can do this? You’ve waited two years to see him, all this time, all you wanted is to have a happy life with him and Kathy, why are you leaving now? I have no problems if you’re happy, but Kathryn, think about yourself for once. You’re also a human.” Tanya said as they sat in the waiting area, waiting for their time of flight.“Mum, don’t worry about me, I’m very happy. Does it look like I’m sad? This is what we need. At least now, we know everything is fine. I know that he has forgiven me, Kathy is better now too. What else could we want?” She asked, and Tanya tucked her hair behind her ear as she smiled at Kathryn.“Your happiness. Kathryn, for two years, all you’ve being focused on is making us happy, me and Kathy, and I don’t think Kathy wants to be a burden on you forever.” Tanya said, and Kathryn chuckled.“Kathy and you will never be a burden to me because you two are very important to me.” She said, and Kathy raised her head from Kathryn’s laps as she
Days had passed since the surgery, and both Daniel and Kathy seemed to be doing well. More than anyone, Kathryn was happy, and that was because her daughter was better now, she wouldn’t have go through the same pain that her sister had gone through, and she also wouldn’t have to be separated from her.On the other hand, she was also very happy that after two years, she was finally forgiven by Daniel. It seemed like her life was falling into place, until one day, while she was busy with work, Kathy walked up to her.“Momma, are you busy?” She asked her, and Kathryn chuckled as she pulled her closer to herself.“Tell me, when have I ever being too busy for you?” She asked as she tucked her hair behind her ear, and Kathy chuckled as she stared at her.“I’m so sorry, momma, but I just have a quick question to ask.” She said, and Kathryn stared at her, tears streaming down her cheeks.She slowly wiped the tears that were now forming in her daughter’s eyes as she stared at her. “Kath, are y
“They found the both of you?” Daniel asked, shocked, but she chuckled.“No, it was some women. They had heard her screams while she delivered and they decided to help us, but then, after everything that had happened, I didn’t think I could trust anyone. I didn’t think I would be able to let those women help me, but then, Elma, she had a good heart, and she didn’t want the baby to die. She was already bleeding badly, and we had no choice but to go with the women.”“Don’t tell me they were part of the…”“No, they weren’t, but I never got to see my sister again.” She said as she smiled weakly, and he furrowed his eyebrows.“What happened to her?”.“Elma, you’ve got a beautiful baby here, she’s so cute.” Kathryn told her sister who was barely awake.Elma smiled weakly as she took a sixteen year old Kathryn’s hand in hers, rubbing it slowly as she smiled weakly. “She’s not my baby, Katrina. She’s yours.” She said, and Kathryn’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at her.“My baby? What do
His eyes widened in shock as he stared at her. “That’s a lie, you’re joking.” He told her, and she shook her head as she stared at him.“I’m not. My sister was already nine at the time, and it felt like her condition was just getting worse. Okay, you’re not my real parents, where are my real parents? I used to ask them, but no one answered me, they just kept making our lives a living nightmare, and looking at Elma, the sister who saved me many times, she was getting worse. It was like she could barely even talk, and that was when I made a decision, I needed to take my sister away from there.” She told him as she wiped her tears; and he stared at her.“Weren’t you just seven?” He asked her, and she nodded as she chuckled.“I was just seven, but I also couldn’t stand seeing my sister who’d given me life die slowly. We had nowhere to go, but one thing was certain: we couldn’t keep staying at that house. For months, we were on the run, barely surviving because we didn’t have any money or
She took in a deep inhale as she closed her eyes. “For years, I’ve kept this story to myself. I’ve never shared it with anyone but mum. It hurts me whenever I remember it, but maybe it’s time I said it because how would I heal when I know I still haven’t recovered from the past?” She spoke as she wiped her tears, and he stared at her.“What happened twenty years ago?” He asked her, and she closed her eyes as more tears streamed down her cheeks.“I was born to a very poor family, my parents barely owned anything, and my mother, she was a woman who worked very hard to provide for all of us. She made sure that the four of us, me, her, my dad, and my elder sister, Elma didn’t lack anything. She was a very busy woman, and since she had to work so much for her to fend for our needs, she was never home. She kept us in the custody of our father who didn’t have a job. His only job was to take care of us since she was the one doing all the work, but he couldn’t do that, and instead of actually
Seconds, minutes, and even hours had passed, and the light in the operating theatre still hadn’t gone off. Tanya held on to Kathryn as she patted her hair.“It’s going to be fine, the both of them will be fine.” She told her as she handed her a glass of water. “Here, have this, you haven’t eaten all day.” She told her, but she shook her head.“No mum. I don’t want to have it. Kathy and Daniel haven’t eaten all day too. Mum, my daughter is in there, and I don’t know how everything is going. Until I know they’re alright, I won’t be able to rest easy.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks, and Tanya smiled as she pulled her to herself.“I’m telling you, everything is going to be fine, and trust me, Kathryn. Your life is going to get better from now on. I promise you.” She said, and Kathryn embraced her tightly.“I hope so, mum. I really do.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks.While she embraced her mum, tears streaming down her cheeks, the lights in the operating theatre s
She wiped her tears as she shook her head, staring at him, shocked. “You? How did you know about…”“The day you left the meeting, I followed you. I have being keeping tabs on everything you’ve being doing, and the other day, I had myself tested to see if I was a match for her, and turns out, I was.” He told her, and she stared at him, shocked.“You’re willing to donate a kidney to her even after everything that I did to you?” She asked him, and he smiled as he moved closer to her.“I know the truth now, Kathryn. I know that whatever you did, you didn’t do it for money like I thought you had. You did it because you were a mother. You did it because you wanted to save your child.” He told her as he took her hand in his.The tears she was trying hide to fight in streamed down her cheeks more freely. “Daniel, I’m sorry, and I swear, for the rest of my life, I’ll be grateful to you for saving Kathryn. I’ll make it up to you, I…” he shook his head.“Kathryn, you might not have being the one
She rolled her eyes as she turned on the bed. “What see you doing here, Daniel? Didn’t I already say I’d get your files for you? Didn’t I tell you that my mum would….” Before she could even finish speaking, he cut her off.“We both know she’s not your birth mother, Kathryn, so stop…”“She doesn’t have to be the one who birthed me before she’s my mum. If she gave me life, if she stood by me and gave me a listening ear when no one else did, she’s more than worthy to be my mum. Daniel, I need to rest. Please leave.” She told him, and he chuckled.“For weeks, you’ve been doing your best to try and talk to me. You’ve being putting up with everything I’ve done to you, and now that I’m actually willing to listen to you, you don’t want to talk to me? How ironic.” He said, and at that moment, she could feel the tears start to well up in her eyes.She took in a deep inhale as she stared at him. “It’s like you said, Daniel. I’ve been throwing myself at you for weeks, but you didn’t listen, and n
“Daniel, relax. It’s not what you think. I…” before she could even finish speaking, he grabbed her by the hair as he stared at her.“How many more secrets are you going to keep from me, Kathryn? Tell me, how much more are you going to keep shocking me? How much more are you going to keep reminding me that I don’t seem to know anything about you? Just show me your true color, Kathryn. Stop being a camellion and show me the real you.” He told her, and she shook her head.“Daniel, at least listen to me, let me explain. I…”“Come on, explain. I want to hear everything. Maybe it’s time that I came to know the truth because I’m tired, I’m tired of getting hurt over and over again, because for some reason, I find out that I know nothing about the woman I love.” He told her, and tears started to stream down her cheeks on hearing him say those words to her.“So you still love me Afterall. Daniel, you…” he raised his hand, preventing her from completing her statements.“Let’s not even get start
