On The Run

Ciara ran as fast as her legs could carry her without even looking back. She was afraid that if she did, she might find Samuel Fury right behind her.All the times she had made an escape, he had always found her somehow, but this time around, until she got what she wanted, she could not afford to be found. While Samuel was out, she had been thinking about how to get out of the penthouse again knowing that Samuel would never let her leave willingly. He had also refused to give her any money, and Ciara was broke.Ciara had done what she needed to do.She had searched through Samuel’s unlocked room, luckily for her, and had found some money in his drawer. Ciara had never taken what does not belong to her, but it was essential that she took the money, because she had expressly asked Samuel for money, and he declined even though he knew full well that he owed her some money.So Ciara took the money as part of hers. Whenever Samuel decided to pay her what he owed her, she would refund it. T

Hard To Catch

Samuel paced his living room, enraged.“How did she escape without anyone knowing?” Samuel barked. Kingston took a step backward to avoid the wrath of Samuel’s anger. “You were parked outside, weren’t you? How couldn’t you have seen her?” Samuel turned to Kingston in mad rage. It was as though he would grab him and strangle him for such level of incompetence.“Sir, maybe she left before we arrived, because I did not see anyone sneak out of the penthouse, or I would have notified you,” Kingston tried to defend himself.Jess just sat there and watched Samuel exhibit his anger.“Get out,” Samuel told Kingston and he bowed and exited the living room.“You are barking up the wrong tree,” Jess said plainly.Samuel put his fingers through his hair and roughed it up in annoyance and frustration. It was clear as day now; Ciara Summers would be the death of him. He knew that Jess was right. He should not have poured the entire blame on Kingston, because truly, Ciara might have fled the house

Perfect Meeting

Ciara was woken up when the train stopped. Tired and exhausted, and certain that she wasn’t being followed anymore, she had fallen into a deep restless sleep. As usual, she had dreamt about being mercilessly tormented by the two inmates, and there was no one to rescue her. In fact, this time around, they had taunted her that Aunt Mary had died, and there was no Samuel Fury coming to save her from their torture; as Aunt Mary was dead now, Samuel Fury had abandoned her to their torture.Ciara had wanted to wake up badly, but she could not even though she struggled to. Then they also threatened to rip her stomach open and bring out her baby. Ciara had begged and cried, but they had refused. Again, she had seen the knife in their hands when the train stopped and Ciara was forced to wake up. The passenger sitting close to Ciara, a middle-aged man stared at Ciara weirdly, and she knew at once that she probably had been acting funny as she slept.“Rough sleep?” He asked.Ciara nodded and go

Some Truths

“What is your name, and how did you know my mother?” Ciara asked him.She was more than fortunate and grateful to have run into someone who knew something about her. Being that it had been years since she last came here, Ciara wasn’t sure she would find people she knew, or people that would even know her.“Johnway,” he answered.The name did not ring a bell at all, and for a moment, Ciara almost felt as though the man was making things up. What if he had been sent to get her? Ciara was extremely careful and mindful now, because it would be stupid of her to underestimate the power and influence of Samuel Fury. “I don’t know anyone like that. I do not recognize the name…or the face,” Ciara cautiously said. She made sure she kept her voice at a guarded level. Initially, when he had mentioned her mother, she had let her guard down, relieved that her trouble had finally been eased, but now, they were back up.“Of course, you wouldn’t. You rarely came around after your mother’s illness det

The Request

Samuel drove to the main house in a mad rush. His mother’s call had turned his world upside down, and as Samuel raced through the traffic and past other cars, he worried if something terrible hadn’t happened. His mother rarely placed a distress call to him. In fact, she has never placed such a call to him, and she sounded really weak and frantic over the phone. Samuel decided that driving himself to the main house would be better.And hopefully, he would be able to evade the cops. Samuel really did not fancy staying in the main house, because it brought a whole of ugly memories to him; memories that he would want to keep buried for the rest of his life, but his mother had insisted on staying there after she was released and discharged from the hospital. According to her, she had wanted to feel the warmth of a home before dying. Samuel was more than willing and capable to rent her the most luxurious apartment the city could find, but none of that would make his mother feel more at hom

Take Care Of Her

Ruby and Linda busied themselves picking out things for her wedding preparations.“Mum, don’t you think it is a bit early?” Linda asked Ruby sounding unsure. They still had like two more months before the wedding, Samuel was still very much married to Ciara, although she wasn’t sure how that was going, considering what she told him the last time, and things were still pretty tense with the both of them. Linda hadn’t even said this aloud, especially in the presence of her mother for fear of being condemned, but she was very scared and intimidated by Samuel Fury. He made her want to cower and hide away, but she could not bring herself to spitting this out to anyone’s hearing, not especially with how far they have all gone to secure him for her. Anyway, she hadn’t heard from Samuel since the last time.“It is never too early, love. I want you to have the best wedding you can get; something way more grand and special than what that wretch ever had, okay?” Ruby assured Linda.They had inv

Mild Escape

Ciara had to wait for Johnway to round off for the night after what he gave her, and it stretched into the night. Johnway had suggested that Ciara go to his house and rest for a while, but Ciara refused. She did not want to risk leaving and not getting the full details, because even the file was not giving her all the answers she needed. Just as she had suspected that something had gone down with her mother, some evidences were popping out.“Here,” Johnway had scribbled down his house address and given it to Ciara. “I have a spacious apartment and some leftover food in my fridge. Why don’t you go over, eat and get some rest, then when I get home, we can talk,” Johnway had directed. “It seems I am going to take longer than necessary here,” he said.Ciara had put the address in her backpack and said, “No, I will wait for you,” she had insisted.Another man had come in a few minutes later, and from their discussion, Ciara got to know that his name was Martin, and he also worked there.“H

Under Arrest

Ciara stared at Johnway’s dead body in his pool of blood in utter shock. She could not believe what she was seeing. She bent over slightly to take a look at him and she realized that his throat had been slit. His blood had congealed, and the slit on his throat did not seem fresh at all, which only means that he wasn’t recently attacked. Also, he had already begun to smell; the exact smell Ciara perceived when she stepped into his apartment.So with such retching smell, Ciara’s stomach rumbled again and she threw up, right beside Johnway’s body and blood. Ugh, she was very disgusted now, and everything just seemed to be very irritating. If Johnway is murdered barely twenty-four hours after attempting to help her, then someone knew she was in her hometown. Ciara’s first instinct went to Samuel Fury, but in as much as she knew that he was brutal and ruthless, she did not think he was that heartless to take someone’s life in cold blood. Besides, she already suspected him of something rel

Bad Omen

Samuel held his mother’s weak hand tightly, but also tenderly at the same time as the doctor examined her.After what she had told him, his mother had slipped into unconsciousness. Samuel had quickly called his doctor and asked him to come over to the house for a medical examination. With his mother’s condition, there was no way he could comfortably transport her to the hospital, or maybe Samuel’s fear was that she would die before he even reached the hospital. Samuel continued checking her pulse to ensure that she was still breathing every second before the doctor arrived.“Should we take her upstairs to her room?” Samuel had asked immediately the doctor stepped into the main house.“She has been lying here, hasn’t she?” the doctor asked.“Yes, I did not want to lift her up and get something wrong in her system by doing so, so I just left her here to rest while waiting for you,” Samuel explained.“Then I will examine her here first and see what is wrong,” The doctor informed Samuel.

Gone

“I did not murder anyone!” Ciara yelled from behind bars.Her heart was pounding. Her breathing was faster than normal. Ciara feared that she was having anxiety attack, and of course, PTSD. Then there was the worry about her baby, but the cops were more hostile and adamant than Ciara had ever known.“Please!” Ciara called out. There was no way she could tolerate going to prison for the third time in just a couple of months. She did not kill Johnway, and it would truly hurt Ciara to go to jail for something she was completely innocent for.Again.“This is a capital offense, ma’am,” one of the cops told Ciara harshly. “Johnway was a decent hardworking citizen whose life you snuffed out gruesomely.”“I swear, I have no hand in it. You can confirm from the hotel I lodged. I got there barely an hour before the cops arrived, and Johnway has been dead hours before that,” Ciara explained frantically, but the look on his face shows that he was obviously not buying her words.“I suggest you sa
