"Josh, they took my baby," I said to my brother, who had caught up to me trying to bring me away from there. The woman got out of the car panicked. It seems she did not expect them to notice her too soon.
"Give me my baby," I shouted at her, trying to get out of Josh's grip.
"Back off. All of you," the lady shouted, holding the baby in one hand and a gun in the other. My heart dropped.
I didn't expect that outcome. My mind was all on getting Ethan. I didn't want anything to happen to him.
"Please, my child is only hours old. He has not done anything to you" I tried to reason with her in between sobs. I could not speak properly. My body was becoming weak. My face was covered in tears; I could feel it sticky and rigid. I didn't care all about my image. All I wanted was for the kid to be okay.
"If you want your son to be alright, better ask these men to
“It’s me, Jane Smith, your wife,” I said shakily “I am married?” he asked again “Yes. And we have a son.” I said, wheeling myself closer to him lifting Ethan to show him “Ethan, meet daddy.” I said jovially before sobbing, “Honey, don’t scare me again like that. I didn’t know what I would’ve done without you.” I cried. He lifted his hand and parted me on my head. “Don’t cry.” He said. I could see the tenderness in his eyes though he seemed distant. At that moment, he held his head, groaning in pain. I cried out, calling his name before pressing the button at the bedside to call the doctors. “Babe, Hold on. The doctors are coming,” I said to him, calling his name over and over. “It hurts.” He said before the doctors barged in the room “Excuse us, Mrs. Watson.” The doctor said to me before one of the nurses wheeled me outside. “What is going on?” Mr. and Mrs. Watson asked me at the same time “James woke up. But …” I said shakingly “But what?” they asked, annoyed “He can’t reme
My heart stopped for a moment. I wanted to see what Cynthia had to say “It’s true. You and I are supposed to be married soon. After your divorce to Jane,” she said without batting an eye. I couldn’t take it anymore and pushed the door open “I see. This is your plan.” I said to the scared Cynthia. The expression on her face said it all. “You could not help and take my man away the moment you get a chance.” If looks could kill, Cynthia would’ve died “Wha... at are you doing here?” she asked, panicked “How dare you hit on my husband lying to him just because he has lost his memory?” I asked in anger “Cynthia. I have never done anything wrong to you. I don’t know much about your history with my husband, but please leave us alone.” I said, slowing to her “Leave Cynthia out of this. Mum says you forced yourself in my life.” James started, “I hate women that force a man to be with them.” He said, looking at me in disgust “Huh. And you believed her?” I asked back. He looked surprised a
Peter hugged me tightly, not letting go until he was sure I had calmed down. "Don't worry. You are not alone. We are here for you," Peter said, giving me a peck on my forehead. I dictated what was to be written in the agreement. The lawyer didn't waste time and came back the same day with the written and printed agreement. Though it did hurt me. I didn't waste a moment and signed the agreement. I had told him before. I would only leave when he didn't want me anymore. It didn't matter whether he was of sound mind or not. His family will never give me peace. I asked dad to wheel me to his ward later at night I didn't knock and pushed the door open. Mr. and Mrs. Watson were with their son. Mr. Watson seemed very angry. "Here are the papers. Sing, and we will have nothing to do with each other." I threw the papers at him together with a pen. He somehow seemed hesitant to do. But was urged by his mother. "Son. Just sign it. You will be free from this gold digger." She said, pointing
“It’s nothing to be worried about.” He said, parting my head lovingly “Dad. Though I have problems of my own, I am a grown-up. I can handle it.” I tried to persuade him some more “Girl, you never give up. Okay. We have noticed some strange activities around you lately. It seems someone is targeting you.” I was stunned by the revelation “What?’ “Yes. That’s why I hired all the guards here to protect you. It seems whoever is after you are determined to get rid of you,” he said, and my mind drifted. I even forgot I just got divorced. My mind was racing, trying to figure out who was it after my life. I didn’t place James on the list. He was the last person that would try to do it. The image that kept on coming to my mind was Mrs. Watson. She was the only one that had the motive and intention to get rid of me. “Could it be Mrs. Watson?” I asked dad. He looked at me, surprised “I don’t think she would go to that extent. Probably one of Watson’s enemies or something.” Dad said, but a
Unknown POV I just landed back in the country after a long business trip. Being tired, I wanted to rest. I didn't know I would meet a horrible scene along the way. "Go through the provincial road," I asked my driver. I felt too tired that I had a severe headache throughout the flight. I wanted somewhere quiet, and the highway was not giving me that. Just as the driver took a corner, we had gunshots. There were people on the road looking down the steep hill. It seems there was an accident. "Just drive through," I said to my driver as he stopped due to the cars ahead of us. We had to go round the vehicles and drive-by. I was going through my emails when the driver called for my attention. "Sir. It seems the gunshots came from up ahead." He said, pointing where a woman was on the road crawling towards what seemed like an infant. A man was standing beside the child, pointing a gun. I cursed under my breath. "What should we do.?" He asked me. I threw him a stern look "What can we d
"It is quite unfortunate," Alex said"Prepare everything for the burial. I want you to investigate and know what happened," I said, heading back to my room. I somehow felt dejected. I had not felt that way for a long time. I stood at the window, looking outside deep in thoughts. It was almost dawn, but the day seemed to carry with it a sorrowful atmosphere.I could remember my sister, Bella. She was a charming young lady full of life. Each time I think of her, my heart softens. Her death was a blow to the whole family. The young woman reminds me of how she died. Killed in the middle of the road by Mafias. I thought I could save her, but it was only my wishful thinking. I felt surging anger rise from within me. I turned and gave the wall a hard fist."Aaaaah," I shouted, the frustration away, sliding down on the wall and sitting on the hard cold floor.I wanted to help revenge her. That was the only thing I could do for her. I took out my phone and called John again."Hi man," he sai
I didn't trust people, especially a public hospital where every Dick Tom and Jerry can access your information. Being sick and wounded most of the time, I had to make my own well-facilitated clinic. I had a team of doctors with the best skills in the world. Money can buy skills but not loyalty.They have been loyal to me. Leaving Jane to them was not an impromptu decision. If they could not help her, then no one wouldWalking in the hallway, I stood before a huge glass partition as a wall. Inside I could see a beautiful woman lying almost lifeless. If not for the beeping of the machine and her slight chest movement, one would think she was dead.She was cleaned and her wounds taken care of. I didn't want to see her at first, but I felt attracted. I held the black doorknob and pushed the glass door, intending to go in. before I could step into the room, the doctor in charge called me over."Good morning, sir." Well, it was almost 8 in the morning."Mmmh," I responded."The patient expe
Peter told me about everything that happened between him and Jane. I was surprised"You two have known each other for more than three years?" I asked again in disbelief"Yes."Well, Peter and I had a really long history together. We were friends for a long time until the death of Bella."Are you still going to run away?" I asked, looking deep into his eyes"I am not running away. I just want to spend time alone.""It has been five years. Though Bella's death hit us, we have to accept and move on" This time, it was more of telling myself."She looks just like Bella," He said, and I was shocked. He also saw something in Jane that reminded him of Bella."What are you going to do with Jane?" Peter asked, and this time I didn't have anything to say. I didn't really know what to do with her. I acted on impulse, but I didn't regret saving her."I don't know, man, but I will have to help her till she recovers," I said."I will make sure the Watson pay for what they did," He said, and I could
How did you find me? She turned her body, going back inside. The man on the door did not speak but walked in, closing the door behind him and hugging her from behind. She was stunned. He had lost so much weight. She had seen it but didn’t want to show her concern. She turned to look the other way. He hugging her was a surprise. She thought he would argue with her. Scold her for leaving with his kid without proper explanation. Her protruding stomach spoke a lot about the heaviness she was experiencing. His hands gently laid on her stomach as he hugged her. “ I am sorry. I didn’t tell you how much I love you. I can’t live without you on my side, even if you don’t love me back. Please don’t leave me again. Let me love you for the two of us” Frediano, the big boss of huge Martinez companies, was crying in the arms of a woman. He left all dignity behind for this woman. He didn’t care what others may think. It is rare to find your soul mate, and when you do. Don’t let go. She didn’t know
A beautiful woman in black trousers and a long red coat was seen boarding the train from the capital. Her destination was unknown, and she had only a small piece of luggage. She didn't seem like someone running away from anyone. Just a woman is going away for a day. No one paid much attention to her, with her head covered in a black cap.She had a brand new phone communicating with someone. She took the train to the last destination but opted to get off midway. She changed into a different cloth and hair before boarding the train again to a different location. She did the same severally no one knowing who she wasTwo days later, she had arrived in a small village in Kehna. It was an abandoned village with few visitors. Everything they needed was in the village. They would stay there unless they wanted to go to a good school. Being new in the village, she attracted gazes and curiosity. She went to the village chief and explained her situation. She knew of this place thanks to Peter. H
The following month was no better for Jane. She had lost the purpose of life. She didn't have anything that drove her to work hard or do what she used to. Her purpose for the last six years had been revenge. She achieved her goal. She got even with every single one of those that destroyed her life. But the end result was not something her family members would've liked.Her dad, brother, James, and Frediano tried talking to her, but she didn't budge. It was like she was a living corpse. It was so frustrating. The doctor could do nothing and said only she herself could be able to live her life. But it would be good to surround her with positive energy. At some point, the Smith family proposes she go and live with them, but Frediano will hear none of it. He said they were in a relationship and would be marrying soon. Of course, it was a lie but something he had visualized. He fought the old man for her to stay. It was tuff, but Old Smith knew he loved her so much, and there was no way
“ Please don’t. What are you going to do?” Loli asked, her voice trembling in fear“You will see,” Jane said and walked to the table and picked a different knife. It was sharp but thick. The men behind the table looked at her and shuddered. They have seen her torture several people, but this one was different. She was going through her past again.She walked to Mr. Roland without blinking and tore his trousers in half. His left leg was exposed. She slightly bent her neck and looked at his leg like a mania. She looked like a designer. Trying to figure out the best art design. She swung the knife, trying to visualize the cut she had back then on her leg.“ Ohh, this was it,” she said as she beds cut Mr. Roland from the ankle to the knee on the inner side. He didn’t see that coming. In fact, none of them saw that coming.“ Aaaah” Mr. Roland screamed in pain, but she was not done. She went even deeper and cut it open with force. She looked at it again and nodded.“ That’s
While Frediano was smiling from ear to ear in his bedroom, someone faced the worst torture of her life.Jane went to the room to meet Cynthia and Loli. It was like always. I went to chat for a bit and go for Cynthia, but it was different for Loli Roland."Hello, guests. Sorry, I couldn't welcome you yesterday, but I am here now. Hope you like the hospitality." Jane walked to them and spoke to Loli"You see. I am not a bad host. I promised you a roommate, and I have fulfilled it. Hope you won't get bored." Jane smiled at Cynthia and said. Like always, Cynthia looked to the other side while she talked," but don't worry. It won't be for long "as she said this, Cynthia's heart skipped. She had known this woman for the last weeks she kept her in the house. She acted crazy and did a crazy thing this time; she knew it was bad."Let me go. You bitch. Don't think no one will notice we are missing" Loli cursed at Jane, and she just smiled."Do you remember what the men you sent did to me?' Jane
She let go and got out of his embrace in embarrassment."I am sorry. I didn't mean…" before she could finish her words. Frediano pulled her in his embrace again and kissed her deeply. He let go of his fears and embraced everything that came with her. She also let go of her fears and concerns and enjoyed the moment. That's what she needed at that time, and she wished he would give her that.On the other hand, he wanted the same and to give her everything she needed. She didn't have to explain. He knew she wanted him, and he wanted her as well.Fred kissed her deeply, not letting her go. She also reciprocated with the same passion. She was like a starved lioness. She wanted more. She was too aggressive. Frediano welcomed her need and came to her with the same aggression. It was like they would never be together again. Like it was today but no tomorrow. They looked like their lives depended on that moment.Jane opened his shirt buttons one after the other while not letting go of the kiss
It didn't take long for Jane to arrive. She ran straight into the house and found Frediano having a drink seated on the huge sofa. She didn't do anything else and rushed to him. She bent down, held his cheeks, and kissed him lightly. Frediano didn't have time to react and almost dropped the glass."That's for saving my day," she said, smiling. Alex, who emerged from the door, was stunned but happy. This was the first time he had an intimate session between the two."Is that all?" Fred asked, looking somewhat disappointed. He didn't expect anything in return when he did what he did, but since she gave him one. It should be a good one."What do you want" Jane was stunned for a moment and asked. She was too excited that she didn't think before kissing him."I want more. I want it deep. At least I deserve that" Frediano explained how he wanted it, and Jane pouted, taking steps to go upstairs. Fred didn't let her and stood abruptly, placing the glass on the table and following behind her.
Mr. Rolland got the news they were coming for him. It was a matter of time before they destroyed his family. He called Loli and asked her to pack her stuff. In minutes they were running to the airport. The moment they left, few cars appeared at their homes."Have you seen them?" one of the men asked. They surrounded the home and looked everywhere, but there was no one. It was like they knew they were coming."Call the boss" I already did"This is bad. We have to get to them before they leave; it will be worse if they do," the leader said, and the other jumped into the fleet of cars and drove off, leaving dust behind.Jane, who was driving on the highway going towards the airport, go the news, and she was not surprised. The good thing is she had everything covered.At the same time, Loli was looking behind their car in a panic on the highway."Dad, do you think they get us" she didn't ask intentionally, but she had an awful feeling. It was like her life was not in her hand."They can't
She had seen how her family suffered at the hands of Jane and her friends. She knew for a fact Jane had friends in a different sector. That's why it was easier to pull off the revenge easily."Come on. Don't say you haven't missed me." Jane mocked as she strode to sit next to Cynthia. This time she was not tied. She had tried to escape severally but was within their plan. It was fun to see her trial fail. Seeing that she was not responding to her sarcasm and mockery. Jane stood and looked out the open window. At least she allowed her to see out and enjoy the sun ray in the room. Well, she didn't mistreat her."I have kept you here as comfortable as I can. The VIP treatment should be over soon." She turned to her again with a sinister smile."What do you think? Don't you think they all deserved it? At least they were not innocent. They all deserved what befell on them?" Jane went direct to the topic without holding back"I hate you. If I ever get out of here, I will make you pay." Cynt
