An Even Harder Task

"He's still not picking his phone. Why is he not picking his phone?!" I paced about the living, almost out of my wits. The television was on. I'd turned it on with the hope of hearing the President making his denouncement speech regarding Jared. The voices of random people talking on TV buzzed around the room, but I didn't pay attention.They weren't what I was interested in."Hey. Hey. Hey. Come here." Jared stopped my agitated pacing and drew me into his embrace. "Calm down, worrying yourself will not help.""That girl is counting on me to save her. I have to save her. Oh God! She gave me a clue, I have unraveled it and now, I have... I have to save her." My heart was beating faster than usual. Time was running out. Just few hours ago, the kidnapper had called just as I was leaving the room assigned to Denise until she recovered and reminded me, in no mirthful or light tone if I may add, about the deal. I had no idea why the President was doing this to his own daughter. Now, he w

At The Location

"Please be safe." Uncle Pete hugged me tight. I felt the fear radiating off of him. I hugged back, keeping back my own fear from surfacing. "I will.""God be with you." Miss Nancy enveloped me in a warm hug as well. "I hope." Was my low response.It was Celine's turn. One would think I was embarking on a journey of no return with the many hugs and dreary faces. Well, with dangerous and desperately power-hungry men like Philip Pillax, it might as well be. "I haven't known you for long but you're a good person. Please come back." Her hug was shorter but nonetheless warm."I will." I checked the time once again. It was ten past four in the morning. Location had been sent a minute past four. I couldn't sleep. No one could. We had all kept vigil.Jared came out just then, he hadn't been with us ever since. I had gone to find him and talk to him, but he wasn't speaking to me so I left him alone. Uncle Pete too. I wasn't even expecting him to come out. I spotted him coming down the sta

Task Gone South

"You don't have to do this, please." I begged while trying to rack my brain for a way out of this situation. "I can pay. I will pay you, name your price. A blank check?""I already have my money. Philip paid me well, I just need your pussy to run wet enough for me to cum all over your pretty face. Keep moving." We were walking towards a building.The sun was yet to be up but I could make out the skeleton of an uncompleted building in the growing dawn. Maybe Nina was there. "Can I at least know where Nina is? Or how she is?""She's fine. Now shut the hell up or I'll put a bullet through your head and fuck your corpse. Either way, I'm good and you'll be dead." His laugh was maniacal.He definitely wasn't alright upstairs. His words caused chills running through my veins. He was, in layman's words, a madman.And the behaviors of such deranged people needed to be kept in check and also avoided. This guy might actually do as he had said if I didn't keep shut.He shoved me into the buildin

Just In Time

"How did you...""Ask questions later." Jared cut me off amidst a struggle with this masked green-eyed bastard who'd tried to take advantage of me. Jared threw him off of me like a sack of corn, his body hit the wall and he fell helplessly to the ground. Picking up the shard of glass, he raised himself from the floor and lunged at Jared.The latter was already expecting him. Jared was quick to pick up the gun but this guy was smart and deft enough to kick the weapon out of his hands.It landed a few feet away from me, close to my clothes. I made a quick work of getting dressed while Jared fought and exchanged blows with him. He was having a hard time using the broken shard on Jared who was dodging every slice and nick just in time before it cut his flesh."Jared!" I called his attention, throwing the gun at him. The balaclava guy wanted to catch it first but Jared was quicker. He had the gun in his possession in seconds and moving to action with the light of speed, cocked the gun,

Rescue Mission Accomplished!

Rather than fear, anger flooded my veins combined with the knowledge I already had against Philip Pillax. I stepped forward, Jared tried to restrain me from going further, he was showing care for my wellbeing. But I snatched my hand from his and approached Rashford, the medic attending to him didn't bother stopping me, probably resigning herself to the fact that her words would not be adhered to anyways. Letting him see the determination and anger lurking my gaze, I leaned in. "I will be waiting for him. In fact, Rashford, I am ready for him."I swerved on my heel, inwardly smirking for my dramatic flair and that he was watching every second of it. "He's going to use your son..."Before he could finish that statement, Jared had him by the throat, his rage instantly palpable and emotional restraint broken. "One more word about my son and I'll will make sure you do not live long enough to witness your sentencing."Rashford's eyes popped, they went red and scared. His shortage of bre

Philip Pillax In A Pickle

PHILIP"I've been calling Rashford. He's not picking my calls." I was on the phone with Derek, my friend and business partner."I've also been trying to reach Catherine, to no avail." He said, a bit of worry in his tone.Ever since he'd told me of his long-aged relationship with Catherine and had given me a friendly but firm warning to stay away from her, after I'd revealed to him I wanted her to work for me and the plans I had to end her life if she didn't follow my instructions, I'd respected my friendship with him and backed off.Though I didn't let him know of kidnapping her son who was later kidnapped right from under my nose by Hailey.Well, Catherine was a closed book for me, I didn't care what Hailey would do to her son. For the sake of my friendship and partnership with him, I had to let go. "Do you think something's wrong?" My eyes glanced over to the TV in my bedroom where I currently was, sipping a glass of brandy. "I have no idea." A short silence ensued. "But I don't t

Love Confessed

"Oh my baby!" The First Lady broke into an emotional run as soon as the door to her husband's office opened and she spotted her daughter still being crushed in a tight hug by the President. "I... can't... breathe...you...two." Nina was sandwiched between her parents.I couldn't stop smiling at the sight, I even felt a bit emotional. Their little girl was back to them. Uncle Pete, Jared and I had made the journey to the White House to deliver her. I wanted to come alone but Jared and uncle Pete had insisted on coming with me. "Sorry, honey. We're just so happy to see you." The First Lady sniffled, tears clinging to her lashes and glazing her puffy eyes. She looked every bit like her daughter — unkempt and weary. Though Nina had tried to cover hers with a smile and more stories on the way back here.I'd never seen such a strong, brave girl at that age. I wish I'd known her six years ago, I would have learnt a thing or two from her about being strong and taking bullshits from people.

A Young, Broken Heart

Startled, I broke off the kiss to meet the teary gaze of a very heartbroken teenage girl who was trying so hard not to cry.Guilt swamped me. "Nina..."She cut me off. "I ask again, what is going on here?""Look Nina, this is adult business, you have no reason being here and questioning us." Jared sharply replied."Jared!" My sharp gaze glared at him.I didn't appreciate his tone on the obviously confused young girl."What? I told you she does not need to be encouraged. She's a minor for fuck's sake!" He appeared exasperated by the unfolding drama."So I should not like you?" Her young tone showed she was deeply hurt. "Yes!" Jared's reply was immediate and firm. "Like your mates. Guys your own age or same age bracket, I am too old for you.""You don't get to decide that!" She cried, tears running down her cheeks. Oh crap! I was feeling an unhealthy amount of guilt. I shouldn't have encouraged a kiss between Jared and me here. Not in her own house where she could easily see."Between

Dinnertime

We all rushed out of the vehicle, heading for the house. I could think of nothing more than to tie Denise and smack her until she collapsed. How dare she try to play a smart one by attempting an escape?!I'd find her, that was for sure. It would only take time but I would find her. I was ready to dial Kazim's number when I spotted Celine dragging someone in from the other side of the house that led to the swimming pool that no one barely used, a patio and a sprawling, well-tended garden. "Where did you find her?" I pressed the red button, placing my phone back into my back pocket. Celine continued to drag a struggling Denise towards us. Celine had her arms around Denise's waist which caused the latter to groan in pain and frustration as her wound was yet to properly heal."I spotted her from my room upstairs, running towards the garden in hope to escape. So I quickly rushed out and pursued." Celine explained, a little out of breath.Miss Nancy was, in that instant, rushing down the

Mothers And Mothers-in-law

MIASounds of chattering carried up to my ears as I descended down the stairs for my morning dose of coffee. A frail, familiar chuckle tightened my stomach and spread some feeling of hate and repulsion aimed at solely the owner of that frail chuckle. Their faces came into view, I plastered on a smile. "Good morning, mom.""Hey, darling. I hope you slept well?" She asked, her eyes roaming my entire frame. I knew that look and the proposed talk behind it. I'd been avoiding getting into that discussion with her. "Yes, mom. I did." I turned to the second person, the one my hate and repulsion was aimed at. "Martha.""Hm." Came the sneer and a malicious grunt as her acknowledgement. "Mom, will you please excuse us?" I stepped further into the living room. She warily observed our faces and rose. "I'll be making us breakfast, Martha.""That is so kind of you, Priscilla." She smiled at my mother, watching her as she left. Her eyes latched on me as soon as my mom was out of sight and ear
