When I got to the meeting venue, everyone had arrived and were siting waiting patiently for my arrival. They all stood up immediately they saw me and remained standing until I sat comfortably on the chair. The meeting began and some of top member complained on how there drug trafficking business were crashing and other members complained about one thing or the other. By the end of the meeting, I found out that some of our most trusted members were betraying us, which was the cause for the recently attack we had, but I didn't let them know because I wanted to handle the case myself. I also let them know about my plans to begin training with the young upcoming members, they were all startled immediately I broke the news and I didn't explain any further. The abstruse meeting came to an end and I left, ignoring anyone that wanted to speak to me privately. On getting home, I felt so relieved and maybe excited, I hoped on seeing Clara this time around. When I got to the living room, I wa
CLARA'S DIARYSpending about twenty two hours with mum and Jenny eased a lot of stress for me, I was so relieved and happy about the decision they made to pick me up yesterday night. I and Jenny spent the whole night talking about everything we had missed, but I never mention anything about Leo to her and I felt bad for hiding it from her because we never keep any secret, but it was for the best. My room was still the way it was, my bed had my favourite bedsheet placed on it, Jenny corner had just changed a little because of the pictures she placed on the wall. Mum didn't go to work on Sundays same as Jenny so we ended up spending the whole day indoor, I didn't want any of friends or classmate to see me, but stubborn Danielle got to know one way or the other through Jenny and dropped by the house while coming back from the store. No doubt I had lot of fun and was close to forgetting about going back to Leo's magnificent mansion. Mum, Jenny and Danielle escorted me to the park wh
LEO'S POVI was awaken again by the loud buzz from my phone which was just at the edge of my bed. I sigh angrily and ignored it just like the knock but the caller kept on calling non-stop, I became mad and took my phone to turn it off. With my eyes partly opened, I glanced at the caller, it was Jack. I wondered why he was calling me by this time, after much deliberation I decided to pick up considering the manner in which he had been calling, it must be something important. "Jack! Why "" Where is clara? Have you seen the news? Put on your television now! I just hope Clara is save" Jack interrupted me the moment I was about to question him. He made mention about Clara being safe which frightened me and I ran to get the remote and put on the television which had been in my room just for decoration because I barely watch it. I was devastated in the state I saw Clara in, she looked scared, sad and confused as the reporters rushed to her asking her questions. Blood was dripping from h
For the first time I let a girl sleep peacefully on my bed which was still unbelievable to me, it felt like I was sharing my body with someone else and maybe the other person had carried Clara from the gate to my room and placed her on my bed. "But why am I not reacting?" This was the question I kept on asking my self but there was no answer. I had been sitting by the edge of my bed watching Clara while she was sleeping and now I was also feeling sleepy, I needed to rest. For a moment I thought of sleeping on my bed, beside Clara but Immediately I shook off the idea off my head and decided to sleep on the couch instead. I got up to leave but she turned and I froze, my heart began to beat fast like I had done something wrong. Luckily She faced the other side of the room and within a second, she was fast asleep again. I walked to my wardrobe, took out another blanket and went to lie on the couch, though I wasn't feeling comfortable because the couch was quite small and hard. I jolted
Leo's attitude towards me was quite fascinating, never have I thought that he could be all this caring and calm. I always thought he had grudges for me and now he has proven it to be wrong but I was still scared that he might change suddenly and the beast in him might return very soon so I wanted to leave and he refused. I walked slowly to his bathroom with pain all over my body, I checked his drawer for the supposed brushes Leo said he had but I couldn't find it, instead I saw various type of body cleaning agent, sanitizers... I was about to leave when I looked up and saw something like a box and opened it there were lot of new brushes just as he had said but they were all black in color. "Devil" I whisper and took out one. The tooth paste wasn't difficult to locate, I applied some on the brush stood in front of the tap brushing my teeth thoroughly while I looked at the mirror. After I was done, I went to lie on the bed again."How am I suppose to have my bath in his bathroom, that'
LEO'S POVI was so angry with myself for what I had done, what was I actually thinking when I carried Clara on my lap in the presence of those maid and all she could do was embarrass me. Even while we ate, the courage to look up at her or even talk to her wasn't there. I wanted to find a way to just leave the room, if possible disappear after noticing that she was looking at me, it seemed like she knew how embarrassed I was but still decided not to apologize. I was almost done with my food which I had been forcing myself to eat and wondered if she noticed that also. Suddenly I remembered that I was suppose to go and check on my guard and rose up immediately, walking towards the door with hands in my pocket. "She won't even ask where I was headed?" I said aloud while going down the stairs. On getting to my guard room, I saw him entering the mansion through the main door with an envelope in his left hand. My cheeks curled into a smile and turned back into a frown within a second. I co
Clara was so annoying, I wondered if this was how much she hates me. I have been looking after her since yesterday and didn't even get a thank you, talk more of a hug. "To hell with her" I let out a scoff, heading to my bathroom to have a shower. My mind was made up never to be bothered about her any longer, she was just my maid after all. Hours passed and Clara didn't come back, even when I ordered for my dinner she didn't come with the maids. "Seems like she wasn't fully enlightened about her job" I whispered the moment I saw the maids entering and Clara was no where to be seen. After eating dinner, I brought out her diary and began to read. The next page drew my attention so bad because it wasn't about het normal daily activities, neither was it about her life. The heading was boldly inscribed "The features I want in a guy" I read slowly, unawareness that I was reading it aloud. "Is this some kind of joke? Do people actually do this? What a waste of time" I laughed out loud, fli
During the meeting I chose the able bodied men that were going to accompany me for the attack, while the rest were to work from a distance and others from the meeting room . The maps was duplicated and enough to go round for everybody to study from now till tomorrow. Some spies were also sent to the blood moon estate, they were to report tomorrow morning on how things went there over night and tomorrow morning. No doubt that tomorrow's attack was going to be a dangerous one because, majority of the Blood moon lives in the estate so once they find out about their presence, they wouldn't hesitate to attack from different angles. That's why I wanted to ensure that we go into the leader's mansion without a lot of them noticing. After I was done, someone reminded me of the young boys I was going to be training. "Tell them to meet me at the field in twenty minutes" I replied, getting up from my chair and headed to my car. I drove slowly to the field, taking time to look at the surrounding
