All Chapters of Cold And Inhuman: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Alexandro King took a deep breath thirty minutes after he sent his secetary, Maria, away. He tried to calm himself, he reclined on his office chair. He even shouted at Maria, he doesn't like shouting at the older woman at all. She's a good friend of his aunt. His aunty, Aurora, the woman that practically raised him liked Maria immediately she entered the company to visit him five years ago. They became good friends and Maria had always been very good woman and secretary to him. Sometimes, she even looked at him with motherly eyes... His heart hardened. He's nobody's son at all. His mother established that fact when she lost interest in taking care of him twenty years ago, she turned to alcohol and smoking. Gianna was never any body's idea of a mother. She was very bitter. Ronald, her husband--his father--always neglected her. never being at home, smoking and

"You." Was all he said. "Yeah.... Me." She licked her lips nervously, shifting uncomfortably on her feet. "I take it you're the new Emergency nurse." He said coldly, his eyes unreadable. The manager looked between the both of them, bewildered. "You know her, boss?" "Oh I know her. I know her very well." He drawled in an accent. Yap, I'm fired before I got hired. I'm really going back to the convent, Christiana mused in her mind in defeat. Alexandro would have been amused at Christiana's reaction if he wasn't so surprised himself. She was the Emergency nurse? His eyes took her in, in a new way. Well, one thing was certain. She ain't going around with those beads and a white scarf that hides her hair and covers her forehead. It was also starting to make sense the way she took so much offense about his snarky comment this morning.&nb

Eyes wide open in the middle of the night, Ludo was horrified with whatever bad dream she was having. She tried to move her head but to no avail. She could only move her eyes. She could see most of the things in her room but couldn’t reach for them. She usually slept with her bedroom door open. She tried to scream but her voice failed her. The more she tried to move, the difficult it became. She felt a presence in the room and became even more afraid. Her eyes shifted to the door in hopes of seeing her mother coming to her aid. She saw an ominous shadow at the door peeping. In seconds, she felt a weight pressed against her body that she failed to breathe. Her body was paralyzed and there was no way to fight the paralysis.    “Ludo!” Her mother shouted entering the bedroom.    Ludo saw her mother sitting beside her but she still couldn’t move

Hunter checked his time. 11:24. His flight was at 14:00 hours. He had prepared everything and had packed all his gear. Leaving the country was not on his wishlist but there was nothing he could have done, that was his only way to stay alive. He didn’t expect Hilary to betray him like that. Trust, for him, was a big word but he relied on her. He knew she could deliver but along the way, love happened to her. It was the same love that got her killed. Hunter didn’t have any regrets on Hilary’s murder. Killing had become a hobby for him. His phone rang. He looked at it feeling his heart pound. He answered and remained quiet. “Hunter!” A man’s voice answered on the other end of the line. Hunter didn’t say anything. “I can feel you breathing and from the looks for it, you are scared Hunter,”

Zamiwe walked into the living room throwing her hand bag on the floor and herself on the couch. She put her legs on the table as she exhaled heavily. “What a day!” She sighed. “Ludo!” She called. She was very tired that she dosed off within minutes of sitting down.    “Anybody home?” Joe asked as he entered the living room. He was equally tired from his trip. He saw Zamiwe sleeping on the couch and memories flashed back. He remembered how good they were together before Ludo’s sickness kicked in. They were a small happy family. He walked to her and sat beside her. He looked at her and smiled. Her face was covered with her hair. He moved the hair to the side. He was looking at her face clearly now. She was still as beautiful as ever. If only she could have been this beautiful even when she was awake, perhaps they could hav
