"Where do you think you are going with those things of yours?" Mrs. Kiara asked as she approached Brindle in the hallway leading outside. "Are you keeping track of my movements within this house, or are you responsible for everyone's mobility?" Brindle asked firmly while folding her arms and maintaining direct eye contact. "I don't need to figure out your life. How exactly will you be of any use to me?" Mrs. Kiara questioned. "Why do you look like you are not yourself, Mrs. Kiara said. Are you scared of something, oh my baby?" She said and walked closer to her and patted her hair like a baby. Brindle pulled herself away. "Don't put those hands of yours on me again. As-tu entendu? Have you heard?" she said. "Why won't I look nervous standing in front of a scary monster," she added. "Scary monster, you don't say. Then have it that that monster is counting your days in this house," Mrs. Kiara said. Brindle gulped nervously, rolled her eyes at her, and walked away. Yes, she’s already
"Madam, please," the accountant said, "a lady came to withdraw all the money from that account just about nine minutes ago." "Huh?" Tina said and pulled the files in her direction to see what she was talking about. "Vanessa Black," Tina murmured as she examined the name on the files. As she examined them further, Tina wondered just who this person could be. "Can you describe her in any way whatsoever?" Tina asked with a puzzled face, waiting to hear a detailed answer. "Well, madam, I really didn’t make eye contact with her, but she had heavy makeup, and her head was lowered through" the accountant said. "What was she wearing?" Tina asked. "She had on a red wig with an all-black oversized dress, gold gloves matching her heels, and she wore L'Orvea, the Golden Hour, sunglasses," the accountant said. "Wait a minute, I might have passed someone about 3 minutes ago wearing a similar dress," Tina said. Without another word, she ran to the entrance of the building, searched the surround
"I won't let her have the best of me. I will make you pay, Brindle, for coming back into my son's life and destroying his happy home," Mrs. Kiara said, standing there fiercely and gazing into thin air. "Sure, I will help you see the footage of the CCTV camera. I hope Mr. Wood comes to terms to support our company in the future if we ever need some help," the manager said with a wide smile on his face. "Sure, Sir," Tina said, slightly bending down to show appreciation. "We would love to work with your company in the future," she added with a smile. "Follow me. I will lead you to the security room," he said. "Pause it, pause it," Tina said as she leaned closer to watch the video at the moment when she was entering the building. "Can you replay it to 0.04?" she asked. "Wow, that was a great tactic over there," she said, smiling slightly. "She knew who I was... That was a fast move she played, who ever she is she is damn smart" Tina said, with her hands on her waist while nodding. "T
"Your parents must be proud of you by now," Liam said. Natalie looked at him and smiled, "I hope they are," she said, looking up, and a tear dropped from her eyes. "Enough of the emotional talk, hahaha, you want to swim and catch some fish?" he asked. "I can teach you one or two moves," he offered, reaching out his hands to her. "I can't believe I have to do this," Natalie murmured as she tentatively rubbed her palms together. "I think this would be the end of me today," she said, and Liam giggled so hard. "Not in my watch," he said. Natalie dipped the tip of her toes in the water, "Oh, it's cold," she said and pulled it out real quick. "The moment you enter for some time, you will be okay with it," Liam said. Natalie stood at the shoreline with her hands covering her body, trying to warm up. Liam slowly bent down while making sure she didn't notice. Using his hands, he scooped up some water and playfully tossed it at her before bursting into laughter. Natalie let out a deep s
"What do you have there?" Brindle asked Tina as she entered the Wood’s mansion. Tina didn’t utter a word, bypassing Brindle to enter the house. Mr. Richard was already waiting for her arrival. "What does she have there?" Brindle murmured and rushed to follow Tina inside. "It was already too late when I went to the bank, Sir. The person has already retrieved all the money from that bank account," Tina explained. Richard, who was already agitated, said nothing as he pressed his palms against his forehead. "I obtained footage from their CCTV camera that captured the entire duration of the person's entry and exit," Tina added. "Where is it?" Richard asked, eager to see the footage. Brindle's heart raced as she worried about the potential consequences of the CCTV footage. "What if they identify my face? What am I going to do then? My plans and dreams would all come to an end," she thought, panicking. Fear filled her eyes. I have to do something "Let’s go to my office to watch the foo
Let’s get out of here before any of them notice us... They turned to leave, trying not to make noise so as not to be noticed. Out of nowhere, a strange bird started whistling at them. Liam tried everything possible to shoo it away with his hands, making sure to do it discreetly so they wouldn't get noticed. He attempted to shush it away, but the bird seemed determined, continuing to whistle persistently, with her feathers wide open and ready to pound on them… "Who is there?" questioned one of the muscular individuals from the tribe in the language, known to them. All attention shifted towards the source of the noise. They all might have heard some noises from the bush... With a final glance and hope we meet again we leave here alive all printed on their faces, even without any word, Liam and Natalie started running for their lives. They ran with all the power within them, without looking back.... The people did a few turns, and some started chanting in their language with some s
As darkness drew closer, they set fire around, and the noise grew louder. As they roared, animals from far away also roared, which sent a shiver down Natalie and Liam's spines….. The bones of different types of animals they've consumed were hugged around. They started drumming aloud, while some sang and the women brought out another big pot, placing it on the fire, while chanting some words. They constructed a bridge over the pot. The bodybuilders went and untied them, lifting them to the peak of the bridge, which inclined towards the pot. They all gathered beneath them, surrounding the pot, while Liam and Natalie remained tied up. An intense chanting began, and some individuals cried out. Natalie and Liam looked at each other in confusion. "What in the crazy world are they doing?" Liam said. "I think we're their next dinner," Natalie said. The bridge began to lower into the steaming hot water within the pot. Suddenly, a loud noise echoed, and they quickly retreated from the po
The fresh morning air breathed life into the surroundings, causing the trees to sway in their natural rhythm while birds whistled gleefully. "Wake up," Liam said, gently touching Natalie to rouse her. Instead, she scratched herself a few times and settled back into a comfortable position to continue sleeping. Liam chuckled, marveling at how someone could sleep so soundly when their life was at stake. "I'll let her sleep a while longer while I take a moment to admire her peaceful face." He heard noises and carefully pulled up from the cave to see what it was and heard footsteps heavily approaching. He sighed heavily and went back to the cave, "We need to move from here," he quickly said. "Natalie, Natalie," he called her slowly with haste in his voice. "We need to go, we need to go. They are coming," he said. They ran in the bush, bypassing many forest branches while clearing some on the way. Before they could run in the left direction, they heard a loud groan, "Ahh," and one of t
