Daniel brought in the man whose wrists were tied together.
His dark brown wavy hair was rough with his clothes dirty.
There were slight wounds on his face. Daniel made him kneel before Jericho as he turned to look at him.
"You...are one lucky man, Cyphers...for having such a daughter that pleases me. A daughter that is quite my taste.
"I'm still keeping you alive because of her,bro." Jericho said and laughed when Cyphers spat on his feet.
"Go to hell, Jericho. I don't care what you do to me! Just do not hurt my daughter!" He yelled madly.
"Leave him." Jericho said to Daniel as he punched him from behind.
"Now listen to me, Cyphers. I've informed tour daughter about me abducting you and I'm pretty sure she's on her way again.
"In exchange of your life, she's gonna be my slave. Again." Jericho said with an evil smile as Cypher's eyes widened.
"You bastard!!!" He yelled, trying to pounce on Jericho but Daniel held him back.
Valerie came down,one hand over her stomach as she stared down at Stacey from the stairs. "And who are you? Are you the new maid?" She asked.Stacey scoffed, looking around with amazement. She's never been so insulted!"Me? A maid? Are you crazy!" She raved.Valerie came closer,still confused. "Me? Crazy? Hold on a second, young lady. Do you realize you are insulting me right in my own house?" Valerie asked.Stacey stared up and down at her disdainfully. "Hold on. Do not tell me you see actually carrying my Jerry's baby?""Your Jerry?, Are you nut?" Valerie yelled into her face.Stacey laughed. "I can't believe this!" She screamed madly trying so hard not to slap the woman before her."What's going on here!" Jericho's voice sounded from the top of the stairs.They both looked up and watched Jericho descend
Nina got to the dinning and sat down. She opened a dish and served herself.She was still eating when Stacey walked into the dinning room.Nina rolled her eyes.She was beginning to get fed up already.Stacey huffed as she got nearer. "You really got some nerves... don't you?" She snarled.Nina rolled her eyes again and decided to ignore her. She continued eating but Stacey's next action shocked her.She picked up her plate of porridge and poured it on her chest."Ah!" Nina gasped, rushing up to her feet. "What?"Stacey smiled evilly. "Little witch! What really have you right to sit on this table and eat? The last time I checked....you were nothing but a slave! And where are slaves supposed to be before they eat?Somewhere that suits their place fool!" Stacey yelled at her.&n
Jericho sat on the large couch in his room as he smoked from his pipe.He was thinking about Nina...how mad and more hungry he makes him feel.No one ever make him so fulfill like she does. He inhaled deeply and stared out the window, feeling a little pity for her.Should he just release her father and keep her to himself Instead?No! He killed his father for Pete's sake. Why the hell should he show Mercy to the bastard?Jericho shook his head. No. He's never letting him go alive. Not when he's still the fire squared leader."David!" He called and few seconds later,David walked in. "You called?""Yeah. Send Nina in here." Jeremy ordered.David shot him a stare and hesitated. Jeremy looked up at him with his eyebrows raised. "What?"David smiled. "Don't you think something is wrong?""With what?" Jericho was confused."With you Jericho. Aren't you getting too attached to her?""To who??"David s
Jericho stared at Nina as she said those words and smirked. "I hope the money isn't there,Nina cos I'm really gonna make you . David?"David quickly grabbed Nina's wrist and they both left the room.Jericho starred on,really furious.Someone right in his house had the fucking mind to steal from him?He couldn't believe it but yet,the truth was staring at him straight in the face.**David and Nina walked into Nina's room and immediately they did,Nina looked around suspiciously.She could tell immediately that someone had come into her room."Someone was here." Nina said, looking around.David looked at her. "Someone? How did you know?" Nina was silent as her eyes scanned the room. David shrugged and decided to carry out the search. He was walking towards the wardrobe when Nina suddenly stopped him."What?"Nina pointed at her bag hanging from the window. "Ch...check that bag" Nina stammered.
Nina blinked and was almost forced to laugh."What type of a joke is that? Are you trying took make me laugh?"Nina asked with amusement."No,Nina. I'm not trying to make you laugh. That's the truth.... whether you believe it or not. Jericho likes you."Nina scoffed and looked and looked away.She really wanted to laughJericho...the fire squared leader...the mafia Lord?"You really want me to believe that? Well,no man in his right senses will treat someone he likes so badly." Nina replied.David shrugged. "He has his reasons you Know? I will advise you find out if this us true or not.Jericho can be very stubborn in all things... especially in matters like this." David said and left the room after a while.Nina stood up from the ground. She stood beside the small window there and bursted into tears.
"You will beat me? Oh....you are threatening to beat me now, aren't you?" Valerie asked."Yes...that's what I'm gonna do so I can put you in your stinking place!"Valerie laughed. "Look who's talking about stinking! Don't you stink,huh?"Leave my man alone,dumb ass!" Valerie snarled."You are spewing nonsense Valerie. There's nothing like your man. He's equally my man!" Stacey yelled back."I told you before Stacey and I'm gonna tell you again. You are the next person I'm gonna get rid of. Nina's out of the picture now.. get ready for your own downfall." Valerie said, staring wickedly at Stacey.**David was shocked as he stood there, listening to them. I was wasn't very surprised though. He knew they had a hand in the money stuff. He took in a deep breath and walked into the kitchen. The two ladies froze immediately but composed themselves alm
David sighed and walked out of the room, feeling relieved. At least,he finally said his mind. He didn't care what punishment Jericho was gonna melt out on him for talking rashly at him. He got outside the building and just then his phone began to ring.He looked at the call and blinked. It was Alicia.He stared up at the gate and started walking towards him. She must be at the gate.He thought.**Back in the torture room , Jericho continued staring at Nina until she uncomfortably looked away. "Look at me." Jericho ordered ans Nina slowly obeyed."Get up on your feet".Nina did as instructed,her heart playing party drums.Jericho moved closer and pulled her closer. He put his hand under her chin, turning her face here and there, probably searching for a wound.Nina closed her eyes,so scared to make an eye contact with him. He makes her so nervous. Nina thought.She was however surprised when Jericho grabbed he
David walked down the street together with a happy looking Alicia. She couldn't believe David of all people was walking hey home.She was thrilled."I'm sorry you couldn't see Nina. Just like I explained.....the boss is really angry. I hope you understand." David asked."Oh...it's nothing. I'm gonna check her tomorrow ony way to the grocery store." Alicia replied nervously."Are you in anyway angry with me?" David suddenly asked as they waited for a bus to pull over.Alicia nervously tucked her hair behind her hair before looking at David. "Huh? Not...at all. I've always admired you." She confessed.David smiled and just then,a bus pulled in front of them.David waved at Alicia as the bus pulled back into the road. He shrugged and walked back.**Williams looked up surprised that someone was coming into his abduction room at almost midnight. He was further surprised to see it was Jericho."You look like someone comi
Tears of joy rushed down Nina's face as she nodded vigorously. She was super excited!She couldn't contain her joy as soom as Jericho slipped the gold ring into her middle finger.She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately before checking out her finger. "Oh...I love this, Jericho! I do!!" She kissed the ring on her finger while Jericho stared at her with a bright smile on his face.**"Ahhhhh!!!" Alicia screamed as soon as she entered Nina's room and they both ran into each other's arms."He proposed!!" Nina cried as she jumped up, showing off her fingers to Alicia whose mouth dropped opened at the beautiful sight of the ring."Geez!! Oh Nina...I'm so happy for you! When you told me last night over the phone.... I couldn't just sleep! I've been so excited." Alicia said excitedly."Thank you bestie,I wish
You?" Nina gasped. It was beginning to make sense!! Before anyone could stop her,Nina ran forward with her hands like claws as she grabbed Valerie's neck crazily. "Where's is my baby!! Where did you take her,you thief!!" Nina screamed madly, fighting Valerie."Let go of me!!" Valerie cried.Jericho rushed and dragged Nina back into her arms, trying to pacify her. "Calm down love."Valerie scoffed, rearranging her hair. "I do not know what you are talking about! What baby?""You still have the guts to deny,huh!!" Nina yelled, trying to break free from Jericho who held her tightly to himself.The head police,Mr Quentin stepped forward. "You will have to go with us to the station ma'am. All of you."Valerie looked at him and scoffed. "I'm not going anywhere,me man! I have a baby to take care of!" She snapped at the man.
Valerie rushed in and looked around. Joe could she have forgotten to lock the door?She was really certain someone had been there.Then she took notice of the missing baby stuffs she'd left on the bed and knew there was fire on the mountain.Hurriedly she left her room and went round the house but couldn't find Rita."Where the hell did she take my baby to?" Valerie asked angrily and took out her phone, dialling Rita's mom's line.**Rita finally got to the hospital she'd seen on the TV then stopped one of the nurses. "Can I speak with the head doctor here?""And you are? Does the doctor have an appointment with you?" The nurse asked."I have an important message to pass. I think I have something hltnsr might help him." Rita said nervously and the nurse scoffed with disbelief."Are tiu selling something?, Just go aw
"My baby... Meredith..!" Nina called restlessly from her bed although her eyes were still closed.Jericho was confused on what to do next! He was damn too confused.**Valerie smiled evilly as Janet met her at their agreed location with the baby wrapped into a white shawl.They were both inside Valerie's car beside a free and clear road at the outskirt of the town."What are you gonna do with her?" Janet asked.Valerie look looked at her. "I don't think that should be your concern. I'm gonna give you the money right now and after that you know what to do next. Disappear."Janet nodded. "I know. Stop making it look like I'm disappearing out of the world. I still insist on knowing what you will do with this baby." Janet asked again.Valerie stared down at the baby as she began to stir inside the shawl. "I will think about that on my o
Valerie got to her room and locked the door behind her. She quickly picked the call before it could cut off."Hi, Janet?""Valerie. The lady gave birth not long ago." The Janet lady said from the other line.Valerie's heart skipped. "Good. A girl?""Yeah. What are you planning on doing now?""I'm planning on doing anything possible to destroy that witch! She thinks she can have the last laugh? Huh! That's not possible!" Valerie vibrated."Calm down and tell me what to do next." Janet said lowly and Valerie swallowed."She must not take that baby home. I want her kidnapped. Immediately." Valerie says, glancing back at the door to be sure no one was listening."You remember our deal,right? I give you the baby and you give me my money ASAP." Janet said from the other line."I know! That's what we agreed on. How soon can you get h
Jericho was not a bit surprised. He was ever so ready for this news. So ready.He looked up at the doctor. "I will take my leave now. And thanks." He added abd left the hospital.He got in front of the doctor's office and thought about what to do about Valerie then choose not to say anything to her till they got home.He returned to her hospital room and met her packing up her stuff.Jericho walked over to the baby's cot and looked down at his face. "He's cute."Valerie smiled at the comment. "He is. Just like you."Jericho scoffed and looked at her. "Just like me? He doesn't look like me." He replied.Valerie stared at him abd nervously looked away. "I'm almost done. Are you taking us home now?" She quickly asked, trying to change the subject."Do I have a choice?" Jericho asked with a smirk on his face abd wal
"What happened,Nina?" Jericho asked again."Someone said something wield about Valerie."A course mate of mine back at the university told me she's a girlfriend to one of his friends,Nick. Is it possible.... befriending a pregnant woman?"Jericho stared on at Nina. "Nick? I know Nick.""You do?" Nina asked."Yeah. She claims he's her ex. Are they still together?" Jericho was stunned."Leo said so. I couldn't believe him either.""Am I really the father of the child?" Jericho asked no one in particular."There's only one way to find out." He added.**"So happy for your dearie! He looks so cute!" Nancy cooed as she carried the little pink creature in her arms.Valerie half smiled as she stared at the baby. Nancy looked at her and rolled her eyes.
Nina's eyes widened as she stood up on her feet with wobbling feet. She wanted to faint. The news was overwhelming!"Oh my God....thank you Lord!" Alicia gasped and hugged Nina who was still speechless.The nurse who delivered the news turned and left while the two still stood there, catching their breaths."I...I...can't face it." Nina suddenly said and Alicia looked at her. "I can't..""Why? You've been waiting for him to come out of coma all these days. You've woken him up and now you don't wanna see him?" Alicia was confused."I.... almost killed him, Alicia.""But he's alive now,Nina! Come on. Let's go see him." Alicia said and took Nina's wrist pulling her along with her.**The doctor checked Jericho's palm as he rested his back against the back of the bed. His face was flushed as he stared around.
