Presidential candidate

Detective Peter sat across Steve with a worried expression. He was excellent at his job and strongly believed the Steve and Aziza required police escort but the department had turned down his request stating lack of evidence of the couple being in danger. He also had other concerns about his department, personnel were being reshuffled to different departments, stations and towns while evidence on arrested suspects went missing and department computers wiped out of all the evidence. Aziza hid at the corner eavesdropping on their conversation. She had excused herself to go rest in the bedroom when she noticed their hesitancy in talking in her presence. Peter who was usually joking around was all tensed up today and Steve was too protective now with the baby on the way and keeping away anything that could upset her. She had been logging on social media and dark web and knew that the racial incidents were getting worse, citizens we

Attacks on Jay and Marlones

The following morning all Asherway news networks and social media were buzzing with the news of Steve finally agreeing to stand for elections. Behind doors different political parties were uniting to prevent loosing their jobs and status. Steve did not belong to any political party and had been very critical of all of them. If he won, he will definitely choose different ministers and heads of departments and none of them had any chance of being appointed. Since they will not be able to stop people from voting for him, their only chance was to hit him with everything they had until he is so preoccupied, discouraged and decides to pull out of elections. Without wasting time plans were discussed, decision made and implementation started immediately. At midday the famous Marlone farm that provided solace to activist was wiped out, burned to the ground. A drone flew from nowhere, dropped a fire bomb and vanished on thin air. Luckily

Aziza’s abduction

The following weeks Steve was the name on every house hold in Asherway. He was covered extensively by the media, frustrating politicians even more. It was now clear to them that the attacks they executed on the people close to him did not do much to deter him. They were desperately trying anything to get Aziza and baby Unity but it was proving hard as there was nothing helpful on records they could use to find her. They had Steve’s home on constant surveillance for two months but he never showed up and no one new where Aziza stayed, even her former and current colleagues had never been to her house. The police department had completely disintegrated with the upright police officers and detectives including Peter expelled for different fabricated reasons. There was still no clarity on who was calling the shots as the minister remained on special leave for undetermined period. Luckily for Steve, while the whole thing was fr

Baby Unity

Steve sat on the couch in Aziza’s ward his eyes red from crying, his whole body shaking. She hadn’t woken up since they found her in the factory three hours ago but the attending doctor expected her wake up as soon at the sedation she was given by her abductors weighed off. A part of him wished she could stay unconscious longer, hours or even day then maybe he would be ready to talk to her. Nothing in this world ever prepared him for this. Seeing her turn on the bed he stood up quickly and rushed to her bedside and held her hand. Opening her eyes, their eyes met. Steve, she called his name weakly. I’m here babe, he responded squeezing her hand and watched her drifting back to sleep only to open her eyes again few minutes later. Our baby, she win

Accepting defeat

Baby Unity’s gruesome end shocked the people of Asherway with condolences pouring in for Steve and Aziza from different social groups and organisations. Steve spent all his time in the hospital with Aziza who thankfully was drowsy most of the time due to the strong pain injections she was receiving. She would ask about their baby whenever she woke up. He would lie or change the subject until she drifted off to sleep again but soon he will have to tell her the truth.  In a resort 500 kilometres away from Palmville, the president, the leader of opposition party, defence and police ministers met for a secret meeting. The atmosphere in the room tense with accusations flying around. “The plan was clear and simple. Get the fiancé and the baby, use them to get Steve to drop out of the election

Painful discovery

Jack’s sudden death did not arouse any suspicions from the authorities but Jake Reed was certain that it was murder. Jack had always lived an unhealthy sedentary lifestyle but he was completely fine and as cocky as he has always been when he left the secrete meeting they had the day before. Initially he was worried that Steve and Aziza had discovered the truth and this was revenge which meant he would be next but he found out from his spies that Steve’s investigation had hit a dead end and he had not left the hospital because Aziza was still admitted recovering from the operation. He was also informed that she was yet to be informed about her child’s death, this excluded her and her supporters as suspects. On top of his list of suspects remained the two other people who were in the secrete meeting with him but he couldn’t just accuse the president of the country and the defence minister of a crime he had no evidence of but it was clear to him that if they were ruthless enough to kil

Complete shutdown

“Az, please talk to me” Steve pleaded, his heart breaking. He had rushed back as soon as the hospital informed him what happened.

After that she had completely lost it and became hysterical until the doctor sedated her. Now she was awake but staring blankly at Steve. Steve didn’t know it yet but this was the end of the road for them. From now on she will not emotionally connect with him anymore. They were on two separate journeys now.

Dark web

The following day the people of Asherway woke up to the news that Aziza and Steve have parted ways. Justakid the journalist shared a video of Aziza explaining her reasons for breaking things off with Steve. The video ended with a message urging people to support Steve as he was the best candidate for the country. While the country was still processing the news with some disappointed that Aziza will not be their first lady after all, the police department employees received an email with a sexy girl in a revealing outfit. It was a departmental policy not to open any advertisements attachments on the work computer but it was too tempting to ignore. As a result, few employees secretly opened the attachment, giving the sender a back door to the whole system. Aziza was disappointed at how easy it was for her to gain control of the police department. “No wonder criminals are roaming free, the department is just useless” she thought to herself. She was even more disappointed wh

Revenge

Two months later Steve still had no clue about Aziza’s whereabouts but dead bodies were pilling up on daily basis, putting her on top of the most wanted list by the police and military. He was still a mess from loosing Aziza and his child. Fortunately for him he did not have to go out often even to campaign as his victory was guaranteed. On the other side, the president, defence minister and acting police minister met for the third time that week. They were all under tremendous amount of pressure from the public who demanded transparency on the investigation of murders of fifteen officers police officers and twenty two decorated military officers that happened in one month. “Sir I suggest that we give them the name” Timothy the acting police minister suggested. He was starting to regret accepting the position. Not only were they under pressure for the mur

Little traitor

In a secluded house at the west street of Palmville, Harry laid lazily shirtless on a couch. He has been more busy in the past two months than he had been in the past five years since he became the president’s assassin.  It seemed the president was really tying all the loose ends before stepping down. He was not bothered though because that meant more money for him but he needed to be careful in case he decided to get rid of him as well. Luckily for him, the president had no idea what he looked like nor the sound of his voice. He made sure that worked alone, all his clients knew absolutely nothing about him, all his orders always came via email with payment upfront. That was how he could do the job and still live a normal family life with his wife and kids who had no clue what he actually did for a living. Thinking about his family, he made a note to call them that evening and explain that his business trip was taking longer than
