Fishing For Secrets

Ciara drove to a reasonable distance and stopped. Even if Martin was chasing her on foot, she would have gone too far away from him to be able to catch up with her, and from what Ciara could see, the city was still far ahead.Ciara was sure that she wasn’t done with Martin and Lori for now, but she needed to get away, plan her next move meticulously, so that the next time she would appear in their cabin, they would have no choice but to tell her everything she needed to know.But for now, she needed another plan, one that involved where she would camp for the time being. Ciara could camp in the car, for sure, but certainly not parked by the roadside. Although she doubted people rarely moved these paths , she still would not take chances. “Where do I go from here?” Ciara asked herself, confused.She could neither go back nor go forward.She thought of Martin’s reaction when he would see the woman he loved so much, still tied up, unconscious and bleeding. Ciara hoped that Lori would ma

Not Easily Fooled

Samuel looked at Linda, shocked. How in the world did she know that he would be at the hospital at that time? “How did you know I was here?” Samuel had to ask her. He remembered specifically telling Quinton not to tell anyone about it, but even so, Quinton had never met Linda, and he also left strict instructions to his guards not to let anyone at all into the building without his permission. Samuel was pretty sure that Linda did not go to the house, so how the heck did she know?“Does it matter?” Linda Luscious asked. She walked closer to Samuel and tried to touch him.But Samuel held her hand even before they could reach his body. “Yes, it does. What are you doing here?” Samuel insisted as he returned Linda’s hands back to where they belonged; by her side.“Okay, fine,” Linda sulked, “I came by for my antenatal check up, and I saw you rush into the hospital with the paramedics, so I decided to come and lend my support,” she lied.Okay, that explains it, Samuel thought to himself;

Two Stones

Ruby and Colt waited for Linda to return with a positive result.“You were given a simple task, yet failed woefully at it!” Ruby barked at Hayes who stood by the corner of the living room.“I tried my best, but he was also greatly skilled,” Hayes responded.Both Colt and Ruby sent Hayes a disappointing look. He was beginning to act and sound like a broken record to them.“Aren’t you supposed to be the best at what you do?” Colt charged at Hayes.“I am certain he wouldn’t make it,” Hayes changed the tone of his voice, trying to sound sure and certain.“Well, I highly doubt that. You said it yourself that you trailed him all the way to the main house, and saw him stagger into the residence. You also said a few minutes later, he was rushed off in an ambulance to the hospital. Now tell me, if he survived your attack at the parking lot in the club, why would he die when he had already reached a place of safety, huh?” Ruby fired at Hayes. “You were supposed to kill him, Hayes! Killing only

Two Results

Samuel stayed at the hospital, restless, as he waited for Doctor Pedro to give him the two reports he was desperate to get; Kingston’s state of health and Linda’s pregnancy result.Doctor Pedro had really done him a whole world of good, and he had ensured that Linda would not know that such a test was conducted on her. Doctor Pedro walked up to Samuel a few minutes later. “Samuel,” he called gently.Samuel stood up. He was tired and tense, as he hadn’t slept a wink all through the night, even up until now, but his determination and resilience kept him energized.“Kingston is awake now,” the doctor told him. Samuel sighed in relief, grateful that all had gone well. “Were there any severe damages done to him?” Samuel asked with concern.“His shoulder joint was badly injured by the bullet, and as a result, he would need ample time to recover, but as for his leg, he should get back on his feet a week or two,” the doctor explained.Samuel rubbed his rough face with his palm and exhaled.

Double Results

“How is that possible?” Samuel asked Doctor Pedro.“This is confusing as well,” Doctor Pedro said, staring at the result in his hands.Samuel snatched the result and stared at it too, confusion marking his features. “Are you certain?” Samuel asked even though the result was glaring at him.“I double-checked it,” Doctor Pedro said with certainty.“When was the last time we took the last pregnancy test?” Samuel asked just to be sure that his mind wasn’t playing tricks on him. “More than three weeks ago,” Doctor Pedro answered.“I don’t understand, Doctor. How is it possible for a woman’s pregnancy result to come out positive twice, and at different intervals,” Samuel asked.There was confusion in the air. Something felt off.“Something is wrong. One of the results is wrong,” Doctor Pedro said. “That is the only explanation for this mix up,” he added.“Then which of them is wrong?” Samuel asked, exasperated. He was beginning to have a headache as a result of the test. If it had come ou

A Different Approach

“How do you mean by your nurse?” Samuel Fury asked. “I thought you vowed to me that you took the tests yourself,” Samuel confronted Doctor Pedro. The doctor was not making sense to Samuel.“I conducted the test myself, but before the test came out, I had an emergency, and I let her continue with it and deliver the result to you and Linda’s family,” Doctor Pedro said.“Are you…what are you saying?” Samuel asked him.“There is something amiss about the results, and from what I am seeing, the last result was the wrong one, because I personally saw this one through till the end,” Doctor Pedro said.“So that means Linda hasn’t been pregnant all this time until now?” Samuel asked, finally connecting the dots.“No, it hasn’t, and I am really shocked at this, because I don’t know why she would alter the test result,” Doctor Pedro was confused.“So Linda Luscious hasn’t been pregnant all this while? Does this mean that she wasn’t the one that night? Have my instincts been right all along? Is t

A Useful Problem

Linda had been resting since she got back from the hospital. She felt weird and strange, and even her parents confirmed it, but she could not read the meaning of the shocked look on their faces.Then she had slept for long hours, and rested after she woke up, which was strange, because that was so unlike Linda.Her phone rang, disrupting her rest. Linda knew that it could not be any good. For years now, Linda had not received any call that was pleasant to the ears. It had always been from one thing to another, even though she had managed to wiggle her way out of all of them every single time.The nurse from Samuel’s hospital was calling.“What could she want?” Linda grumbled.She had wrapped up every single business she had with the girl; it was just a one-time thing anyway, so why was she calling Linda now? The last thing that Linda wanted to deal with was a blackmailing person, because Linda could not see another reason why she could be calling her weeks after the successful deal th

Come Home

Ciara was awakened by the ringing of her phone. She had plugged it to the car to boost up the battery, and she did not even know that the phone had come up on its own.Ciara grabbed the phone sleepily to check who was calling, and the moment she saw that it was Samuel Fury, she jerked awake, all forms of drowsiness disappearing from her eyes.“Why is he calling me?” Ciara asked herself as she watched the phone ring. Ciara cleaned her eyes severally with her palm just to be sure her eyes were not playing mighty tricks on her. Then she looked around her; she was still parked in the woods where she had parked before dozing off.Ciara was still wondering why he was calling her when the call ended and went straight to voice note. She played the voice note, but Samuel did not say a word. Ciara remembered that she was on a call with Quinton who had been about to tell her about Samuel’s findings on her when her phone went off. So immediately the call went off, Ciara quickly dialed Quinton’s

In The Midst Of Lies

“Come home?” Ciara repeated.Samuel gritted his teeth in annoyance. His heart was still broken from Ciara’s remark about his mother, but his annoyance was having to play nice and cool just to trap Ciara into coming out of her hiding.“Yes, come home,” Samuel said. He knew Ciara was not a fool, at least, she had proven that to him now. Then it dawned on Samuel; how did Ciara know that his mother was dead?Ciara had been out on her running escapade to the Luscious residence when his mother died, so how did she know? Samuel was too hurt, angered and heartbroken to even realize that Ciara’s statement meant that she was well aware that his mother was dead.Oddly enough, he had thought to use his mother to lure her back, but now, it was obvious that that was a dead end. Samuel was even grateful that he did not even begin by mentioning it, because he would have come off as a fool to Ciara.“Why would you want me to come home?” He heard Ciara ask.Samuel was disgusted at Ciara’s temerity. She

Not The First Time

Samuel waited for Quinton to finish up what she claimed to be doing in the kitchen so that she could answer to his call.Meanwhile, Samuel called Doctor Pedro on the phone, and he picked up almost immediately.“Less busy?” Samuel asked as soon as the call connected. He was surprised that on a normal random day, Doctor Pedro was picking his call on the first ring.“No, but I am your doctor, and you might need my help urgently,” Doctor Pedro said, reminding Samuel that Doctor Pedro was on his personal payroll just so that he could be at his beck and call. “I have to attend to a patient in less than fifteen minutes, so you might have to be quick with this call,” Doctor Pedro added.“Of course, I don’t intend to keep you anyway,” Samuel said.“Have you been taking your medications and resting as I instructed?” Doctor Pedro asked.“Absolutely,” Samuel lied. The medications would make him drowsy and lazy, and those were the last things Samuel needed to be feeling at a time like this. “But t
