Her eyes bulged and she made to stand up when Samuel held her hands. "Please, just for a minute. Please." He pleaded. She squeezed her eyes shut and turned to him. "What's your problem?""It's been a while, Stacy." He uttered as his eyes scanned around the environment, looking out for Jason. Stacy observed him again, she knew something wasn't good, his looks deteriorated, and his outfit looked odd unlike the Samuel she dated that worshipped his dressing style. He was looking quite haggard and lost."I want to say I'm sorry for everything-""Keep your apologies to yourself. There are highly irrelevant now." She spat, looking away from him. He ran his hand in his hair not knowing what to say. Immediately his phone rang and showed caller ID A22, his heart thudded in fear, he switched it off and shifted it aside."How can I make up for what I did?" He asked again looking so pathetic. Stacy turned to him with a blank expression. "Don't approach me again, stay in your lane. I've forgiven yo
"Save my family. Please! That's all I ask for." Fernando pleaded, his knees upon the rough ground and his gaze descending on it. His eyes grew misty as he reflected on his actions. So many innocent ones have lost their lives and families because of his frequent information about them to Stone. He was the "rat" in the gang. Things were not always like this. He grew up with his mom here and left for college as an obedient and responsible boy, but at college, he met guys who loved crimes and for one reason or the other, he felt the need to belong and all. He enjoyed his stay with them while in school, that was how he ran into Stone and began working for him in secret. The other guys in the cartel knew not of his business with Stone. He was the shadow of the night. Later on, he met Mia and fell in love with her. She liked him but declined his proposal because of his unruly ways. Then he had to choose between his friends, Stone's deal and Mia. Finally, he chose Mia and that irritated Stone
SACRIFICEWith a flick of his finger, he ordered them to come. The guys looked at themselves and roared, running to him. Jason jumped and kicked the first man in his mouth, making him lose a few teeth. He landed and kept fighting. The villagers hailed and clapped, seeing that those "no-gooders" were beaten to a pulp. He twitched the arm of one and pushed him to the ground. "Look behind you!" A little boy yelled and he dodged. The man behind him, hit his fellow with a stick on his head, making the villagers laugh. The fight continued when-"Enough!" The headman shot a bullet into the sky creating utmost silence. The villagers ran into the houses, while some fell to the ground in terror, covering their faces. The man lowered his hand and pulled the trigger at Jason. ***************"You are under arrest for the attempted murder of Mr. Peters." Police men flooded into Matteo's abode during his resting period. He looked outside to see his men ambushed by them already.Standing up, he w
Jeremy took a deep breath as he sat inside Meldis stores, glancing at his watch now and then. He combed his hair backwards with his hand and adjusted his jacket. It was 5:48 pm and he was expecting-The bells at the door rang at the push from Alya. She walked in gently and Jeremy couldn't help but admire her. She had an oversized t-shirt over a pair of jeans trousers. Her mini bag hung across her body and she removed her earphones as soon as she saw Jeremy, walking to the table. Her hair was falling to her back. She quickly adjusted her face cap. "Hi," she greeted Jeremy who was taken aback by her appearance. With a little hesitation, he responded, feeling very excited. "It's nice to see you. I almost thought it was a prank." "Really?" "Yes," Jeremy replied feeling quite nervous."So what do we get?" They made their respective orders and in no time, they dug in.************ Fernando was being examined inside while Jason and Mia stood outside. Mia couldn't get hold of herself. She
"Rose?" Jason blinked to chase off the dimmed vision. He weakly sat up on his bed. While Rose sat down beside him, touching his face gently. "I miss you!" She whispered while he stared at her in awe."You can't be here." He stated confused. Rose smiled faintly. "I'm here-" she halted her words and looked down at her stomach. A dagger had pierced her from the back. She held her stomach, her lips parted as she fell off the bed screaming. Jason opened his eyes calmly on his bed. "Of course, she wasn't here." He sounded angry and stood up. He raised his window and breathe in the fresh night breeze. His heart rose and fell stately, while he studied his environment as though he has never seen it before, flashes of the men who he killed about Rose's case interfered. "That one unfinished business. Mr Woodbead, your leisure time is over."BETHANY'S DIARY"I've read books, I've attended burials but I've never been this shocked. It seems so... "not true." It's true, Everyone gets to die one day
"Why didn't you tell me, you weren't working at Xeparando anymore?" Ma'am Sonia interrupted Alya in the dining room. She dropped her fork and gasped."It wasn't relevant. I was done with the project, I was done with Xeparando." She explained, picking up her fork to continue eating, for some reason, she found the question offensive. Hearing the name "Xeparando" gives her a negative sensation. Ma'am Sonia shook her head, wondering what she would do to her beloved problematic daughter. "What about Jason, I thought you took a liking to him?" She asked lowly, avoiding her gaze. "Mom! That's my privacy!" She sounded angry and her mom waved as a sign of surrender. Alya saw that her mother was determined in asking her questions. She took her plates and headed to her room, leaving her mom alone at the lengthy table. Slamming her door, she sat on the bed with her meal and cast a glance at her laptop. Tiredly, she picked it up and logged in."Jeremy...? Jeremy what? Shit! What's his name?" Sh
BETHANY AND XAVIER 2NEXT DAY:Xavier opened his door after a knock came to see a smiling Bethany on his door porch. He squinted his eyes as the view seemed unreal, especially the smile. His brow creased, waiting for an answer."Hi... Hello... Good morning..." She cleared her throat, showing off her perfect white dentition and waved her hand at him which didn't convince him enough of what she came for. Dropping the act, she sighed and lowered her shoulders. "Can I enter inside?" She asked lowly, pointing her finger to the door. He glanced at her and his door before moving back in, allowing her to walk in. Her eyes sparkled with mirth as she felt the warmth of the room wishing, she doesn't leave anytime soon. It looked like hers but has this manly vibe... It was cool. she thought. He was still wondering how a girl who was overwhelmed with dead vibes, became so vibrant. He shook off his thoughts and saw how she observed his apartment like she hadn't seen it in years..."Are you done w
Stacy felt excited about the morning exercise with Blaze. She had been in the field since 6 am, kicking and punching the air. Blaze came behind her, massaging her neck. "Seems like someone is ready." She turned to her with a smile, a tiny can in her hands. "What's that?" Blaze asked, she looked at the can and faced her."I was looking for an item in the attic this morning and I saw it on the shelf. It's a pepper spray.""A pepper spray?" Blaze laughed and folded her hands, watching as Stacy explained."It's not funny. I can do more harm with this, you wanna be my test subject?" She came closer to Blaze, pointing it at her eyes. "Easy there, Miss! My eyes are my babies." She took a few steps back while Stacy brought down the can. "Ok, first things first!" Announced Blaze with seriousness.********Jason sat on his fluffy chair in his room, his windows were opened, allowing chilly breeze to find their way in. The trees danced to the tune of the breeze and the birds chirped. The seren
