Chris is sitting down on the couch which was placed on the rooftop of one of the buildings he owned.he was holding a glass of whiskey in one of his hands while he was holding a cigar which he was smoking on the other hand.He had just finished watching the video of how the conversation between Raymond and Stephanie went.The door to the rooftop opened and his men came in dragging someone who was tied and a handkerchief was tied around his eyes.Once they reached where Chris was,they removed the handkerchief covering the person's eyes.they kicked him on the leg and he went down on his knees immediately."I already did what you wanted me to do,you can let me go already"Raymond Said to Chris immediately he saw him.Chris didn't say anything to him,he dropped the glass he was holding on the table and threw the cigarette to the ground before stepping on it with his shoes."Get rid of him,"he said to his men in a cold voice."yes boss"they replied.Raymond couldn't believe his ears,he though
STEPHANIE'S POV. "I can't force someone to trust me or accept me,I already have too much on my mind now and I don't want anyone or anything to add to my problems as it is already"he said to staring at me with a cold gaze,there was no emotions on his face.I didn't say anything as I listened attentively to know what he had to say to me.One week has passed since I met Raymond.I was sad about how he abandoned me just like that,I know Raymond well and I feel like something is not right with the way he talked but I'm done thinking about it.I hope his reason for abandoning me was really worth it and I hope he is happy with his decision.I've accepted the fact that I was all alone now,I have to be strong and accept my fate now if I wanted to survive.Chris has been away for a week now,I haven't seen or heard from him and I liked it that way since I don't have to see his annoying face again but my happiness was short livened when he came back yesterday.I tried my best to remain invisible by
It was midnight,the night sky was tar black and the clouds scudded by like huge smoky cotton balls.The weather was stormy as the silence of the night was disturbed by the thunder which roared like lions as a shower of heavy rainfall fell from the sky wetting the earth surface.People were in their houses resting or sleeping,no one was seen outside by that time of the night especially since there was a heavy downpour.In the president's Villa,the occupants were neither sleeping nor resting.they were in fear as the villa had been invaded successfully which was still a surprise and shock to the president's strongest and well trained security men.The president's Villa had the highest security in the country so it was sucide mission trying to invade it.no one dared try to trespass.They were tied up and some were knocked off already.The workers were tied and locked in one room as they panicked.In the Living room,the president by name Martin Cruz was holding his belly as he tried hard to
The just risen sun shone softly on the city streets, bringing with it a flurry of early morning activity."Brrring""Brrring Brrring"the alarm clock continued to ring.Stephanie's POV."Arghhhhhhh,fuck"I screamed closing my ears with my palms as the alarm clock continued to ring.I knew it was 7 am already.This alarm was surely a pain in my ass, I've had enough of it.I got up from the bed, picked the alarm clock up and threw it to the wall and it stopped ringing.I smiled in satisfaction,I was going to sleep in peace now.I was very sure that Raymond would buy another one.I have told him several times that I don't need this clock but he keeps on replacing it whenever I destroy it."Poor clock"I muttered before falling flat on my bed and pulling the duvet above me.I got up immediately when I remembered that today was my graduation day.I didn't want to be late since it was a special day in my life.a day I would be done with high school.My dad would be so proud of me,I was the best stude
STEPHANIE'S POV.I was confused, what was this man talking about and why does his face look so familiar?First I was abducted and now he is talking about marrying me.Before I could comprehend anything,the door opened and a woman walked in with four girls."Bathe her till she is clean enough"she ordered with no smile on her face.Before I could say anything,I was lifed up and forced into the bathroom."Let go of me"I said as I struggled with them but they held me in place.they tore my clothes and put on the water.they started scrubbing my body.I was so ashamed,I was not used to people seeing my nakedness but this people are here treating me like they want.After bathing me,they dried my body with a white towel before pushing me into the room.I was forced to seat down.They brought a lotion and applied on my body.They threw an underwear to me which I wore immediately to cover my nakedness.they brought a white wedding gown to me to wear and I shook my head.i would never wear that.I wa
The door clicked open and Chris walked in.he was dressed in a black suit.He Walked towards Stephanie who stepped back when she saw him."Why are you doing this to me?"she asked and Chris was speechless.he had the urge to set her free because of the innocence in her voice when she asked him the question.At the end,he kept to his belief that he had a mission to accomplish and he wasn't going to ruin it by having pity for her.He brought out his phone and showed her a video of a man being held hostage.she looked at the video well and her eyes were wide open as she realized who it was."Raymond"she muttered as she returned her gaze to Chris."Let him go, what do you want from me?"she questioned."I want you to behave yourself in this wedding if you don't want anything to happen to him,I want you to act like you happy and cool with the wedding, that's the only way you can guarantee his safety"Chris said to her."Consider it done but you should set him free after this wedding"she said to h
STEPHANIE'S POV.I was relieved that he wasn't the one that killed my father.I believed him because with the little time I have seen him and took note of how he acted.he wasn't the type to lie,I could see that he was a straight forward person and the type who didn't fear anyone instead he made people fear him so I believe he has no reason to lie.But I would find out the agreement he had with my father and his relationship with my father that he was able to find out that the president has a daughter.something was fishy and I would find that out.Few moments later,a woman walked into the room and showed me the way out.we entered a car which stopped at a church.The door was opened and I stepped out from the car.there were reporters outside with their cameras flashing their camera lights on me.I covered my face with my hands,they approached me to ask me questions but the guards with me stopped them from getting close to me."Why did your father hide your existence?""Why did you show u
STEPHANIE'S POV.I opened my eyes slowly and the first thing I saw was the chandelier which hung on the ceiling.I got up from the bed and I was greeted with a different room.This one was bigger and the design was girlish unlike the previous one.it was as if it was designed specially for me.I would have mistaken it for my room in America but I still remembered clearly that I was held captive by people I don't know. The worst part of it all is that I don't know what their motive was.It wasn't hard for me to locate the bathroom,I brushed my teeth with the new toothbrush I found there and I proceeded to take my bath.I let the shower rush on my head as it helped to calm my nerves, memories of everything that happened the other day rushed into my head.Everything happened so fast,I only wished that I was dreaming.I just want to wake up from this dream.I was trying so hard not to remember or accept the fact that my father was dead.Something in me tells me that my father is still alive.I
