The small gate pushed open and she walked into the room, holding a small tray of food. She could see the women lying on the floor wearily and laughter emitted from her lips.At her sight, they both sat up slowly and they could see the evil smile she was wearing as the light from the window reflected all over her face.“You..you decided to bring us food today?” Mrs. Selina asked with a shaky voice.“Oh, I thought you’ve died, old witch,” she said with a chuckle as she dropped the food on the floor and pushed it with her feet towards them.“You don’t disrespect my mother in that manner!” Elsa yelled and she laughed.“Look at you, the bossy Elsa,” she mocked and walked towards her.She leaned closer to her face and chuckled.“Your days of being a boss are finally over. One more word from you and I will see that you go hungry for three good days,” she threatened and Mrs. Selina shook her head in fear.“Now, eat,” she ordered and the women looked at each other before looking down at the sm

Marching into the private ward he was kept in, they could see two policemen standing beside the hospital bed where he was lying with fluid running through his veins. They both heaved a sigh of relief as they caught sight of him and his head turned in their direction, hearing their footsteps.Daren walked slowly towards the bed and the policemen offered him a seat.He declined and Charles took his seat diligently with his eyes fixed on the young man lying on the bed, looking debilitated.“You asked to see me. What happened to you?” Daren asked grumpily.“She tried to kill me,” Jerry said with a chuckle.“Who?” He asked with his eyes wide open.“The one behind all of your mysteries,” he replied with a smile.“Be straight,” Charles commanded from his seat.“Your brother’s wife, Diana,” he spilled and their eyes bulged.He turned slowly to look at his father whose eyes were wide open in dismay.“Tell me more,” Daren urged immediately.“I don’t know how she found out everything that was ha

The gate opened and they both stepped into the dark room which was void of light. He switched on the torchlight he was holding and flashed the light against the room. He cringed for a moment as he saw the old woman lying still on the floor. He flashed his light all over the room again and he shook his head and let out a chuckle in dismay. “What is going on? Where is your mother?” Diana asked, walking ahead of him with her eyes looking all over the room. He flashed his light up to the ceiling and the window and then he stopped with the light pointing at the bloodstain on the wall close to the window. “No..this..this is not happening,” he cried in disbelief as he walked to the wall hastily. “She escaped!” Diana cried, looking alarmed. He began to pant heavily and he turned to the old woman who was still lying on the floor. “Wake up!” He yelled as he walked over to her. “Wake up, you witch!” Diana yelled while hitting her with her boots. “Stop,” he ordered and she stopped while pa

He brought the ringing phone out of his suit pocket as the car drove speedily along the road. He looked at the caller ID and his brows gathered as he saw the strange number which popped up on the phone.“Hello,” he answered grumpily.“Hey, buddy,” A cheerful male voice sounded from the phone.“Who are you? Be straight,” he ordered impatiently.“You don’t need to know me. I’m your savior. Turn around quickly and head back to the mansion. Your beloved wife is having a good time with her lover. Hurry up if you want to catch them red handed,” the voice continued.There was a moment of silence and his face hardened. He felt perspiration all over his neck and brows and he couldn’t catch his breath for a moment. He adjusted the red tie over his neck and he began to pant heavily.“Who are you?” He managed to ask.“Like I’ve said before, I’m your savior,” he replied again and his heart skipped.“You can believe me if you want to, you can also choose not to believe me. It’s all in your decision

ONE WEEK LATERInside the spacious banquet hall, beautifully decorated to the core, people could be seen sitting around the tables covered with white linen cloths and flowers. A lot of delicious delicacies, drinks and desserts could also be seen on each table. Slow music played in the background and the beautiful colorful lights could be seen, illuminating the whole place.“May I?” Daren asked with his hand stretched towards Melisa who was walking towards him, dressed in a long beautiful black fishtail dress that was designed all over with beads and glittering silver stones. Her beautiful chubby face was heavily made up and her earrings and necklace sparkled like diamond as she sampled them with pride. Her red full lips broke into a smile as she gazed at Daren who was standing before her, dressed stunningly in black tuxedo and silver bowtie.She smacked her lips seductively as she looked at his charming dark round eyes which were looking into hers. He leaned towards her and his lips l
