The big question

Eggust's POV The weather was bright and sunny. I just couldn't believe it. It had started out stormy but sometime between the time we left and when we arrived, the sun had started smiling. "It's lovely weather we're having today." Ezekiel commented as we headed out. "Yes indeed. It seems like luck is finally on our side." One of the policemen concurred. I didn't remember his name even though we'd been introduced. Actually, Ezekiel had told me his name during the briefing last night but with so much on my mind and little interest, I totally forgot. He was a tall burly man that seemed to wear the buzzed haircut like it was made for him. In general, he was the billboard perfect image of a policeman. "With the plan we've hatched out, nothing could possibly go wrong." I almost groaned. Overconfidence was always the bedrock of failure. He must have noticed my frown because he rushed to assure me. "You don't need to worry sir. We'll catch her today." Well, I certa

All I need to know

Marco. I pushed open the creaky door and stepped into the old library, where I had asked Hera to meet me. The bell above the entrance rang out and the few people there peeked up from their browsing. I mustered a smile, as everyone looked in my direction. The last thing I needed right now was attention, but still, I played it cool. I scanned the room, taking in the unfamiliar sighs and smells. Shelves upon shelves of books stretched towards the ceiling, their work covers and yellowed pages filling the air with a dusty scent. I had chosen this this place to meet Hera because it was discreet. I found it yesterday when I happened to walk by and met an old lady who needed help with her bags. It was the first time in a long while someone smiled at me with kind eyes and the memory of that small act lingered, making me feel more at ease here than I had on the busy streets outside. Out there, I couldn’t walk without looking over my shoulders, worried that Eggust’s men would

A deal

Eggust’s Pov. I stood outside the station, taking a long drag on my cigarette. Huffing and puffing as the smoke filled my lungs. And for a moment, I forgot about the chaos around me. Ezekiel was inside negotiating with the other man that claimed Hera was his prisoner and not mine. Who knew the poor bitch had it in her to go around causing troubles for herself. I always thought she was the spineless chicken and Isla was the hothead but people are indeed full of surprises. Take my mum for instance, going after my girlfriend who also happened to be her best friend that is pregnant with her grandchild/godchild. The world is indeed crazy. Taking another drag of my cigarette I cackled at my analogy and decided to enjoy this moment as best as I could. However my peace was short-lived. “Eggust!” A voice called out, it was stern and disapproving. I knew that tone all too well. and like you must have already imagined, it wasn’t from my father. No, you see my father wasn’t rea

A strange man

Hera’s Pov. I sat on a cold metal bench in a cell void of light. The cell wasn’t only dark in terms of lighting, it was also dark because of the people there, people who made my skin crawl. I didn’t belong in a place like this. The air was thick with the smell of sweat and fear. Well, sweat from the bodies of the other women here and fear from me. But somehow, I preferred being here than facing Eggust. My mind raced with thoughts of the past few hours, replaying every moment like a bad movie you somehow got stuck on. I had been here for a day now but it felt like eternity. How did my life spiral out of control so quickly? One minute I was at the top of my game and the next, I was trapped in this nightmare, which had only just begun. I thought about my family, my aunt, Mia, even Isla. were they safe? Had they been released from wherever they were being held? And David…. What about him too? My heart ached with worry, as I thought of all the people suffer

Another revelation

Juss’ Pov I picked a table at the corner of the cafe. It was cozy and surrounded by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, plus no one would really pay attention to it. The sunlight streaming through the large windows brought a sense of warmth to the cafe and helped with the dreadfulness I felt inside of me. There were art works plastered on the walls, each carrying a different but soft meaning, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I chose this place specifically for its privacy and comfort. I hadn’t heard from Eggust since he walked out of the hospital that day and I just needed to talk to him. As I waited for Eggust to arrive, I felt a tingling sensation inside my belly. I couldn’t help but smile. My baby was growing bigger every day and it still felt surreal that I was meeting them soon. I took a sip of the herbal tea I had ordered earlier, savoring the soothing flavor while taking a whiff of the aroma, which helped calm my nerves. I kept glancing towards the door, hoping Eg

Six months

Sylvester’s Pov. The news. I sat across from my father, the chessboard stood between us like a battlefield. I tried hard to focus on the game but my mind was elsewhere. In fact, my mind had been swirling with thoughts ever since I left Marlani’s house that day. At first, I was shocked, but after processing the shock, I just became plain confused. “Your move,” dad chimed, narrowing his eyes, his brows furrowed in concentration. The old man invited me for a game of chess whenever he had something important to spill or wanted to get into my head, or both. It was an old family tradition. He often said his dad did it with him as well. But I knew that tradition would die in the hands of Eggust and I. I moved my pawn to e4, “Dad, I need to tell you something,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. He looked up from the board, his eyes searching mine, perhaps for a clue of what I was about to say. “You’ve never been one to seek for permission, so, go on.” I hesitat

Soft loving kiss

Marlani's POV "I'm afraid there's no other reason to keep you here Mrs Flemming. You're stable enough to be discharged." I looked at the doctor in exasperation. What on earth was his problem? Was he really kicking me out? I’m a VIP patient!! He told me I was ready to be discharged three days ago but I didn’t want to leave yet, so I pretended to feel general body weakness and he fell for it. He'd told the nurse to let me stay two more days so they could observe me and my time had run up yesterday...... I had no more excuses to use. "But I haven't recovered fully!" I insisted. "Would you really send me home and risk something going wrong again? What if I develop something........ something!" He smiled patiently. "I understand your fears well madam, but you're past any crisis or risk of a relapse. And you'll recover more quickly when you're in a familiar environment in the midst of family and loved ones." 'Well, that's the problem!' I thought to myself, I had no hom

A little faith

Eggust's POV I was at the office, skimming through some important documents, when my phone started ringing . My heartbeat accelerated the second I saw that the call was from the hospital. Has something happened to my mom? She was recovering. At least the doctor has said so. If everything was fine, then why would they suddenly need to call me? Close to panicking, I picked up the phone. "Good day Mr Flemming." I hated being addressed by that name because Mr Flemming was my father. I just preferred Eggust but of course, the caller didn't know that so I couldn't blame her. "Yes, is anything wrong with my mom?" I asked without wasting time. "No, no,of course not. I just wanted to let you know that your mother was discharged yesterday, she said you were on a business trip, and asked your father to pick her up, but I figured I should inform you because you brought her here.” “What?” I fumed mentally. Mom was discharged? Why were they just telling me today when it happene

Into unconsciousness

Juss's POV The worst had happened. The absolute worst in fact. I sensed it when Eggust called me that morning and asked me to meet him at the hospital. I panicked thinking something bad happened to Marlani. "Oh no, she's just getting discharged." He'd told me but I couldn't shake off the bad feeling that something was definitely wrong. If she was just getting discharged, I thought, why would they want me there? It was bound to be a nasty scene and I did not want to be present but there was nothing I could do. I had to go. When we got there, I took one look at Eggust's face and I fell for him all over again. Despite the argument we'd had with his mum the last time and how he'd threatened to cut off ties with her, he had come running to take her home after her discharge. They had such a special bond. As it should be between a mother and a child. Something I looked forward to having with my child as well. Relief washed over me at the fact that

Apology and anger

Juss's POV It was the kind of bright day that didn't seem so bright, and even though the sun was shining, you could just feel that something was wrong. This was one of those days. I was sitting in a beautiful field, having a picnic with my lovely babies. I laughed and clapped in glee as they crawled around the mat and chewed on everything within reach. I couldn't bear to shout at them so I gently took whatever they'd picked up from them and kept it out of reach. Then just as we were about to have dessert, Marlani and Sylvester appeared from nowhere and they each grabbed a baby and started running. I rose up and chased after them but they were too fast. It was like chasing after a race car. From time to time, they would both turn around and looked at me and then looked like maniacs. No matter how I begged or cried or pleaded no one listened to me. They all ignored me and their eyes shone with hatred. Then when they got to a crowd, they suddenly stopped and looked bac
