Chapter 31

All this while, I didn't know James and Justin trailed me. They drove in James's car. How quickly they resolved their issues. They were going to create another problem for me I thought. I was at the point of death yet the only thing that crossed my mind was Justin and James making the issue worse. Dean inflicted pain on me physically and emotionally but I cared less about myself. My decision still stood. If he wanted me as a slave in exchange for my Children's safety then I didn't care. Dean chuckled and lifted his gun away from my head. Justin and James were behind us.James was holding a pistol and pointing it directly at Dean. He always had one in his car. A few months ago, James and I were about to leave for a date when I found the gun laying harmless inside of his armrest. I asked him curiosity what he was doing with a gun and he told me it was a licensed gun and he had gotten one for security purposes. His reasons for having a gun were unclear to me but he explained

The tingling sound of the bullet rang through my ears. It felt like I was in a time loop. With Justin constantly calling my name. His voice was faint and his touch was cold. My blurry eyes, my cold feet, and my blood that ran cold in my veins. A fell to the ground With a teardrop from the side of my face. "Ja ... .James" I whispered softly as my tears dropped on his lips. Dean had fired a shot at Me, yes, but I wasn't hurt. James took my place. He made himself my shield. He always made himself my shield and even today, he did the same without thinking twice. James was bleeding profusely from his abdomen. Dean lay there with a smile of satisfaction on his face. He wanted to kill me but he couldn't, yet he was happy that someone was going to die at his hands and that was James. He was in a lot of pain and his time slowly passed. He too was losing a lot of blood. James slowly gasped for breath On the floor. He placed his hands carefully on the pierced area but nothing could

It's been 24 hours since James's death. Aiden and Amelia were fast asleep. They didn't bother to ask about James. Yes, they were little and naive but something about everything just added up and made them less inquisitive about the obvious. Justin decided to stay and grieve with me. The least he could do was pay his last respect by honoring the dead. They didn't get along well but Justin still was human with feelings. I was numb and dumb for hours. I barely spoke a word to anyone. All I did was sit by my bed, grieve, and Blame myself for James's death. I curled myself up with my head buried in between my legs by my bed. I was cold. My legs were shivering and my Palms were Freezing. The cool winter breeze that came in through the opened window ran down my spine and gave me goosebumps all over. I enjoyed the discomfort and the freezing weather. My pain and discomfort were nothing compared to what James had felt that afternoon. I was struggling to adapt to the weather when I

"What have you decided, pretty?""Your offer Is interesting but I'll pass."Wow…. She said "What?""I mean for a woman like you, you sure make innocent decisions.

"How do you think I got so many to work for me?""Think about that. '' She chuckled with a smile. I reciprocate the same energy she gave off.

" You are my Christen. ""My child ""My Christen."She kept on shaking me violently even after slapping me. "Stop it, Mom.""Mom" Mneso yelled at the top of her voice. She pulled her away from me and dragged her to her room. While being pulled away, She still called out the name "Christen" staring at me helplessly. "Come back, my child.

For a few minutes, Mneso and I stared at each other with heavy mouths. It was all too good to be true. The feelings were overwhelming. I didn't know whether to hug her or stop her. I couldn't differentiate my rights from my wrongs there. My sister and my mother were Back in my life after so long. I yawned for the affectionate touch of Mneso. Her little hands on my mind just like were kids, My mother's soothing words and her tender kisses on my Forehead I yearned for. I never would have imagined a day like that was coming. A day when I would be able to look my sister again in the eye. I never believed it. I was getting excited and impatient to run home and tell my mother I was her Christen. I was her lost child when I remembered the state of her health. The excitement I felt instantly vanished into thin air. I was the reason for her condition. If I hadn't left home that morning then maybe she wouldn't have been in that situation. Over the weeks, I got so used to blamin

My file my Soaked so were all the files on his desk. The hot tea only burnt my hands but the angry look on his face was enough to melt off my Delicate skin.

CHAPTER 42( Chapter 40) "What?" What are you saying, Mneso? I mean he was popular and probably that was one of the many reasons why he was attacked and he lost his love wasn't it?", I asked defensively."Calm down sis, Justin and I are just having a harmless talk. Nothing more Okay? ", Madison said. I decided to calm down and observe her moves. I felt like she was trying to get Justin angry."Can you get us something to drink please? Justin and I would be waiting, " She asked me with a pretensive sweet smile on her face. I obeyed and went to get the water while both of them took their seats adjacent to each other. I didn't have a problem with Mneso and Justin vibing and bonding. I was at a greater advantage obviously. But I had a feeling that she was planning something sinister. " I wonder what they're talking about right now", I thought as I was getting the glasses. After getting the water, I didn't go straight back to them but stayed in the corner to eavesdrop on their conversation

I won't join you in a fight against Justin all because of an enmity started by our fathers eighteen years ago.I will not ruin mine and Justin's life just to avenge Dad's death. ", I said boldly.I gathered enough strength to pull myself together. I took her hands away from mine and stood up. "I will not do that D. I won't jeopardize my future and that of my family over a stupid feud.", I said.Madison stared at me with disbelief and disgust. She scoffed, kissed her teeth, and rolled her eyes. " I knew it. I just knew it . I know you only think about yourself . I know how selfish you are ", she said, "For once Christen, can you not think about yourself alone?", she asked with a look of disdain." This same man you are rooting for, Justin is the son of your father, my father, our father's murderer ", she said, "Are you not ashamed of having a bond with him ? Are you not choking with guilt? Think about Mother, the poor woman
