It was once a haven of peace a few days ago. How fast I became a hostage only my broken soul could understand.The same people l had embraced with dozens of smiles and warm hugs. Everything had now turned upside down... I was in violent whirlpool being dossed around like fragments of pepples.
Why? I had already spent days in bed in the damp store. Awaiting for dark rewards my screwed fate had for me.I don't know if her body had been laid to rest. I wish I had talked to her earlier when I realized that she was not well. She decided to take it in her own hands and I had to face the wrath of the beasts who would not give me a chance to speak.She was so selfish to have left me in this alward state.My body was still aching... I can't tell what they did to me. I constantly felt that they had turned me into their punching bag even after I had blacked out.Being an introvert, the idea of having lots of friends was never my thing. I liked keeping things to my own. My only loyal friend, Lourine, was miles away. I knew this tragic news would never get to her sharp ears or worse if she would ever hear from me again.I can't tell how disappointed she will be when the news would ever get to her. But my sharp instincts discarded the trash.Somehow there was a glimmer of hope even if it wasn't going to last forever. For the first time since the tragic incident... I felt lively. The more I tried to remember the last time I ever saw him the more I got lost.Rotimi became the non-flickering flame in my life when I badly needed one. Apparently I didn't want to let him know I was already impressed. I had not yet entertained the thoughts of dating before.I wasn't just interested with the whole thing.I was still trying to flash back the past moments guys had tried to hit on me when the sudden soft knock followed by the loud ringing phonecall interrupted me. That boring ringtone was familiar. One thing was certain... Trouble was about to manifest. I was dead."Yeah... Yes... Mmmh ... Wait I will be calling you back later... Yeah," he said monotonously before he terminated the call."And ... What are you doing here with this culprit?" He frowned as he pointed at me. There and then my heart skipped a beat. I wished I could disappear in th bed like a ghost."She's... I mean just came to check on her," Rotimi confidently replied."Just get out!" He barked with dissatisfaction before firing his angry gaze at me.I remembered my medical career. I had just got an internship in private hospital in Los Angeles. At this rate I was going to lose it... I had already lost down the gutters. Moments of my childhood memories with Monique flashed through my mind.As sweet as there , to the gutters they sunk together with my superb career and dream.We were friends... We used to be until something cliqued in her mind. I don't know what... But her attitude changed when I graduated. Her attitude towards me suddenly changed but I wasn't moved.The man I had l always looked upon towered over with doom spelled all over his red face.He paced to and fro as if he was possessed before he punched the hall in rage. I froze beneath the bed sheets as I fearfully watched him walk towards me.He slowly dipped his thick fingers in the pockets of his woolen jumper and posed while gazing at me at me again. Fear almost squeezed life out of tensed body. It would be an understatement to say I was shaken."Her ghost will haunt you for the rest of your life, clumsy idiot!" He cursed wrathfully as his square jaws tensed with terror. I made up my mind and waited for the worst. I could feel warm tears find their way to ears.He slowly fished the Colt pistol from his pockets. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. I waited for the worst."No ... Please ... No...Dad..." I stammered breathlessly.His face flushed with anger as he cockef the pistol. For once I knew my appointment with God was going to be fixed the hard way.I knew he was heartless but not this way... My own dad."The same pain you took her to through... Am sure she begged you the same way you are doing. But your evil soul couldn't allow you to spare her life," he was foaming as he lowered the cold pistol my head.I held my breath and waited for last sound... For the hot metal to penetrate my skull once and forever.The cold wind blew through the window in one way or the other to bid me goodbye forever. His phone rung again but he ignored and cursed instead. The second time he picked the call and walked to the window.He didn't say a thing except glanced at me severally in the midst of the conversation."You are lucky in the meantime but am going to ensure you pay for you evil deeds. Your's will be the most painful, right!!" He barked as he returned the pistol to the pocket.I tearfully shook my head in the affirmative lest he changed his mind and did the worst. He slammed the door and stormed out of the room.Whatever the call was about... Whoever the caller was. They deserve an accolade from me. I scanned the room for anything suspicious before I tried to get out of bed.The pain was just too much. It travelled in each organ of my body with much cruelty as I bit my lower lip. I couldn't remember the last time I put something in my mouth... The wave of hunger almost threw me to the floor.I limped to the window and peered through the transparent curtains. The familiar neighbourhood reminded of the days I used to be free. The days I used to be me ... Before I became a prisoner under the same roof I called home ,prosecuted and persecuted by my own people.I was too close to the neighborhood yet too far from the peace I longed for in my heart. The mafias would just ensure I got skinned alive as they watched to their satisfaction.The new wave of pains struck me again as I firmly held on the window toll my weak fingers became grey. My head was spinning.I limped to the door, tried to open it but it was just too difficult to. Where I was going? I tried again and I was about to retreat when it creaked open. Even if I decided to run away they would still locate and kill me.I just wanted to put something in my mouth. I had just limped a few minutes in the corridor when a piercing sound made me to hold my breath."Don't dare make a fool of yourself. Stop right there before I do something stupid now!" she ordered loudly almost screaming. I was midway in the empty corridor before her scathing voice made my blood boil."Hey man, what's up. Aren't you supposed to be working on your project now?" Jacob's deep voice startled me. I was almost lost thinking about the girl I thought was dead at that moment. As I sat at my perfect spot overlooking the beautiful pine trees I couldn't stop fantasizing about her. I was supposed to be working on my new song but I just couldn't concentrate at all. My mind was elsewhere."I had to take a small break. I feel tired," I lied faking a smile to conceal my nervousness. His piercing glare made me uncomfortable. I wanted to excuse myself and walk away but he trapped me."What were you doing in Moreno's house?" he asked as he gently patted my shoulder. I composed myself to hide my fear. His dark obsidian eyes looked scary and devilish. I could feel his warm breath right on my ear. "I went to check on her, she's... She was my old class mate in elementary school," I lied again. I had seen her a couple of times before. Many times she had refused to talk to me. "You a
Somewhere in the darkness of my overwhelmed soul, my dimming star was struggling to regain its former glory. Three weeks had gone by and I was merely a shadow of my former brilliant self. All I wanted was to become a doctor and the rest would follow. And this was not part of my plan... There was no way this would be. Some had fixed it there perfectly. So all this long dad had been thinking I didn''t know anything about his illegal deals. The illegal fire arms business deals, the dark and secret hard drug deals he is part of. Things have never been the same since my parents joined the underworld empire. Especially my Dad, he has changed a lot. I don't think if he still looks at me the same way he used to. I get tempted to ask him if am his biological daughter but I refrained from doing so. Until Monique's shit happened... There has always been vengeance in his dangerous eyes. Whatever transformed him into a beast he has become must be so cruel. The nights would go out and I wo
I knew I was just a step away from the death. If Jacob knew o was there he would just put a bullet through my skull or worse inflict pain and watch bleed to death.I wasn't ready for any of that. I wanted to be alive and watch her sad face. I still couldn't understand the kind of force that was pushing me to her room every day. My budding music career was promising, my star was shining bright. Ever since I put a bullet in Monique's head everything was flowing.Not a single day had I had felt remorseful for what I did to her. I hoped Jocob would give me more assignments.That evening when I jumped out of the window into the freezing cold of the evening falling ice. I had my heart in my hands. Some where from the other balcony I saw him staring at me as I struggled to make my way down the stairs of Moreno's building.My hands were sweaty and I almost slipped and dropped from the window from the forth floor of the storey building. I could feel his eyes school me from the other end. His
I was engrossed in the love making session. It was the first time I was making out with a guy I new little about. Rotimi was perfect... His romancing skills were dope.I felt the cold breeze kiss my sensitive skin and it just made me feel better. He was romantically choking me and I coughed. That's when I woke up to the realization and the irritating truth that it was just a mere dream.I was in the same place where the 'beasts' had left a few hours ago. Not that cossy and comfortable bed in the fantasy world.For a moment I had felt like a queen in her own kingdom only to be ushered back to reality as if I had boarded the wrong automotive. I was literally shaking as the hairs on my skin stood arect. I froze with the bedsheets. I wanted to scream but a pert of my mind advised me against the decision. They would think I was just faking it and I would instead be punished for disrupting then.I saw a dark figure or I thought my eyes were just playing tricks on me again. No it was real.
Who was that? Her firm nipples pressed against my chest in fear till I could hear her palpating heartbeats. The cold sweat trickled down my forehead though I had favorite hoodie on.I had heard of stories of haunted houses. The way they sounded scary and weird I could better die than be in one. Her wringing hands grabbed me till I could feel some pain. It was as if she was trying to force her way through me. My eyes remained transgixed on the hard mahogany door even as the footsteps dissappeared away into the corridor. I feigned confidence and faked affectionate smiles to please her.Behind the ribcage my own heart was threating to escape. I steeled myself and remained rooted on the floor. My wild thoughts, a few heartbeats away, got me lost in my small world. Jacob... That no nonesense guy. Then demigod of all, the one Clemont Hill. The same guy I was about to mess with his property.I felt like I was a corpse already.I was risking with my life. The end I olcould only hope it wo
My lips parted in a silent surprise as my eyes gawked in disbelief. My mind did a quick flash back to the erotic vidoes Monique used to watch in private. Somehow my heart raced and I slightly panicked as my fingers held his big cock. I struggled to camflouage the shock with the fake confidence. I was just an innocent.... I used to be an innocent virgin before.But I was fond of erotic novels and in my small mind I had the perfect the scenes... The fantasies of the things I admired till I made the superb Rotimi.Wait!I even blamed myself for having underated him before. I was that super shy girl in public but with the dirtiest mind ever. If those who thought I was super cool knew what was running in my head they would just curse themselves over and over.For a moment I had forgotten that I was a captive. That my fate was twisted to favor the brother to the devil, Clemont Hill.If my whole life was a dreamland then it would have been the most perfect. "Just ensure you tell Moreno to
My life had turned into some sort of series of episodes of the most epic horror movie. A day wouldn't go by if without something triggering my adrenaline. Not a day without almost developing a heart attack.Will still had just left in anger again after smashing the socket as if it owed him some peace of mind. Even prisoners in maximum prisons were at more at peace than me. May be these were the very last days of my life. Every day I had that peculiar feeling that my grave... My new home wasn't that far. I was closer and closer to the exit. 'Let it just kill me, whatever it is am tired of this fucking life,' I said in suffocated breath as I bit my lower lip in pain. I lay still in the bedsheets, afraid to even raise my head or breath and waited for trouble.The next thing was the dark figure in the window, and my mind flash backed to Rotimi... What if he was not the one?I had a life! Pieces of fragments of despair, tears , fear and anger weakly held together with some sort of str
I was obsessed with her. I had Lousiana in my mind, I wanted to be there... To brag to my friends and my peers that I had brought a damsel of beauty from the city. I wanted to be respected and bowed down to in honour.Alvarez... I believed was the right guy for the job until everything turned into a lucid nightmare. What awaited me , was a future of fame and I wanted her to be there no matter the danger.At first I thought it was some sort of prank. Yes... The dangerous pranks we used to do back in the ghetto but I was wrong. The mission was about to back fire ... It was no longer a mission!"Hey, what's not happening?" I inquired as the bald masculine guy pulled out a pistol. What followed was a violent blow that left be sprawling on the ground.I dragged myself up as razor-sharp bolts of pain shot up through my back. My jaws clenched in livid ridges . When I stood up another flash of pain shot up through my tight shoulder. I felt as if I had been shot.I stumbled again as waves of a
