The explosion of the mansion was the talk of the whole country as it was in a very popular area and caused lots of casualties and decreased the value of houses. The police notified the public it was due to a mafia dispute, and many feared more of it may occur again. Tracy and Susan sat across the television with saddened expressions, it's been months since it happened yet it felt like yesterday and they couldn't get over the fact that their friend was dead and didn't even get a chance to have her child. After the decision they had told the police to search for the remains of their friend but there was no sign of her existence which left them in a haze."Any leads from the detective?" Tracy asked looking up at Susan who kept typing on her laptop."Nope! Seems like they've given up looking for her, we can't even have a memorial for her." Susan mumbled with evident tears in her eyes, she still couldn't bring herself to accept the fact that her friend was dead. She clenched her fists tryi
The man walked away from the car and spoke to the driver inaudibly before walking away, the driver walked back to the car revving up the engines, and drove toward town."So you know that guy huh?" Alex asked the obvious truth but wanted to strike up a conversation with the driver since there was an intimidating silence in his car."Of course, although he doesn't look it, he's pretty rich." The driver smiled as he spoke."Really?" Alex asked as though he was interested in knowing more about this man that seemed like a threat when he was so close to him. "Tell me more about him.""Why would you want to know?" The driver rolled his eyes leaning his hand out of the window. "Why would a poor fisherman like you want to know more about my boss? Are you some kind of detective?" "I would be happy if he patronized my business, I sell nice and fresh big fish." Alex forced a smile trying to convince the man to spit out more information."Tell me what makes you think you would get to meet such
Alex held the iron bar in his hand tightly as he approached the man who had no idea what was to occur, Alex felt somewhat guilty about what he was about to do but remembered he needed to do away with George so that Ashley could be safe. He lifted the bar and just in time the man turned around but it was too late as it hit his head making him pass out instantly."Forgive me." He mumbled while dragging the man and looking around to ensure no one noticed him. He hid him in a corner and quickly changed their clothes. He put the hood over his head and a piece of clothing to hide his face. He walked into the car and revved the engines driving down the road to where he was to meet with George as discussed. After a while, he found him by the side of the road looking around somewhat nervously and felt relieved when he saw the car approaching. Alex parked by the side not getting out of the car and just looking at the window trying to act unsuspicious."I'll go get my things." George walked back
"How are you, Baby?" Alex asked awkwardly as they had been staring why at each other for a while."I should ask you that instead." Ashley smiled weakly as she stared at the tea in her hand, not knowing what else to say."Miss, you can go have a bath." A maid said and went away. Ashley slowly got up along with Alex who seemed scared to leave her again, worried that she might disappear again."I'll take you there." He offered. She just nodded without hesitation and walked behind him, she wanted to speak to him but had no idea where to start, she didn't know if it was okay to bring up the note he had left for her to see or the fact that he disappeared and how he came back. She didn't even know how to tell him that the child in her stomach was his since he hadn't known she was ever pregnant for him."Why don't we bathe together?" Alex offered taking her by surprise, she stared at him in shock and her cheeks beamed with a light red color."Um… I-""You don't have to if you don't feel comfo
The news had reached the whole country about the return of Alex who was thought to have been dead for months now. Alex stared at Ashley who seemed to be lost in thoughts as she sipped her glass of juice."What seems to be on your mind darling." He placed a gentle kiss on her lips while stroking her hair, she watched him beside her."I never thought this day will come, those dreadfully long months that slowly ate me up…" Ashley stared at the guests who had come to celebrate with them, her eyes filled with tears but she held them in so as not to ruin her makeup."It's alright, we are together now." Alex soothed her, pulling her closer to him as he sipped his glass of champagne."I'm glad you're okay." A couple approached them with a warm smile, Ashley couldn't help but notice how beautiful the woman was, her perfectly made-up face and her pointed nose along with her neatly curled brunette hair. She had an hourglass shape which was snatched with a cream-fitted dress."Why don't we catch
The whole room went silent and a piercing scream erupted with people panicking around."There's blood!" Someone yelled in fear."Someone got shot!" Another screamed.Ashley stared in horror frozen in a spot, the glass of champagne smashing to the floor as she tried calming herself down, she gasped for breath as her heart raced in fear."How can this be?" She mumbled to herself as she tried to make sense of the situation. Some of the guests made their way outside the house so they won't be questioned by the police."Are you okay?" Alex held her in his arms slowly stroking her back to calm her down."He's here…. He's here." She repeated as hot tears filled her eyes. "It's going to start all over again." Her lips quivered in fear.Alex looked around also confused at where that bang came from but what mattered to him at the moment was that she was okay."I'm the only one here with you darling, calm down." Alex convinced her but it didn't seem like she was buying it"Someone just got shot,
Ashley silently stared at the file in her hand still looking around to know who had dropped it, the first thought that came to mind was that George had found her again but she decided to be sure and slowly opened the file to know what it was that had been dropped at her doorstep. She took out the paper and furrowed her brows in confusion. 'It's high time you knew the truth' was what was written and nothing else was detailed in there, Ashley was more awestruck in confusion than she has ever been. What truth is there for her to know? Who could this person possibly be? How does the person know her whereabouts?"What's going on?" She mumbled to herself while walking back inside when she saw Alex approach her."What's that and why did you go out all alone?" He scrunched his face in worry."I found this at the doorstep". She handed the paper over to him and he glanced at it and bit his lips, he started back at her furrowing his brows trying to make sense of what the paper said."What's th
Ashley was filled with curiosity and at the same time fearful that things might go wrong. She continued to stare blankly at her phone still thinking if it was a good idea or not to go, she slowly sat on her bed still engulfed with curiosity, she planned to tell Alex but discarded the idea that if it was George, then she couldn't possibly put him in harm's way.She quickly washed up and dressed up rather casually, she put on a flowered maternity gown Alex had bought for her recently accompanied by a scarf to cover her hair and sunglasses. Thankfully no one was aware of her little sneaking out plan as she didn't want to bother anyone, she needed to find this out on her own or she won't be able to take it off her mind. She snuck into the garage where a driver was already waiting for her, she told him the address and got in, a few minutes later she arrived at a small cafe that wasn't at all busy even though it was the middle of the day.She got out of the car and walked in slowly looking
