It was night time, and I was driving my car on the highway when suddenly a car stopped right in front of me. "Who are these people, and why are they driving roughly?" I asked myself, as I tried to sign them to get out of my way.
My car, and theirs are the only cars on the road, because it was really late, and there were bushes all around us.
"Please get out of my way." I yelled from inside my car, trying to make them Leave my way, since they weren't making any sign of leaving there anytime soon.
They didn't make any effort to leave, so I thought they did hear what I had just said. I quickly brought down the glass on my window to tell them to get out of the car, but I saw them pull out guns from their car, as they opened their car door and stepped down.
I gasped, and became frightened immediately, not knowing what to do, as I just remained seated in my car calmly, as I watched them.
They all walked over to my car, and opened the door while I just kept calm and glanced at them.
"Get down from there immediately." They ordered, and I quickly raised my hand up, as I slowly got down from my car obediently.
"Bring her here." One of them said, who I think might be their boss, because he just started beside their car, with a cigarette in his mouth.
He wasn't really holding a gun, but he was respected from what I noticed. He actually spoke to them in a commanding tune, and that showed something.
I was brought before him, and he glanced at me, and smiled. "She is the one, take her away and kill her." He commanded.
"Yes,boss." They responded, and started pushing me away.
"Please don't harm me, I will give you anything you want, please just let me go." I pleaded.
"Be quiet, else I'm going to kill you here." One of them yelled at me, and I got more frightened than ever as I shut my mouth immediately.
I raised up my hand and covered my mouth with it, as hot tears flowed down my cheeks.
"She is beautiful, do you think we should have a taste of her first before doing anything to her?" One of them suggested.
"I would have really liked to do that, but I don't think that would be a good idea, because I don't want my boss to get angry at us." Another one said,
"Boss would never find out, as you all know he isn't here with us, and also he asked us to kill her, so there is no way he would find out what we did." The first guy said,
"OK that's true, I'm in then." The second man spoke up.
They both continued leading me deep into the bushes, as I cried, and pleaded with them not to do anything to me, but insisted they shut me up with a resounding slap.
They continued leading me into the bushes, when one of them stopped and said he was pressed, and would like to ease himself.
The other one stopped too and also ordered me to stop which I did almost immediately.
We all stopped, and the other one started talking to the one easing himself. I noticed they weren't paying attention to me, and decided to grab the opportunity, and escape since I wasn't tied to anything.
I slowly moved backwards as I stared at them, but they weren't still looking at me, but rather they were laughing at something I don't know.
My back touched a tree, and I turned over to look around, before turning back to the two men, who were still busy talking and laughing, and totally forgetting about me.
I quickly took off my shoes, and started running as fast as I could, but just then the men turned over to where they had left me, and saw me running, and immediately started chasing after me, as I ran as fast as I could.
I ran deep into the woods without knowing where I was heading, but I just had one thing in mind, which was to get away from those people who wanted to kill me.
I am still too young to end my life just like this, So I really need to fight for my freedom. I held my shoes tightly in my hand as I ran for my dear life.
"Stop right there, stop now." I heard them saying, but I'm not ready to do that or give up so easily.
I totally ignored them, and continued running as fast as I couldn't. They warned me to shoot if I refused to stop, and kept running, but I'm not ready to stop running anytime soon, so I didn't bother to listen as I continued.
Just then they started shooting at me, as I ran, but after a while I was shot in my shoulder, and I fell down immediately on the ground.
The pain was really so unbearable for me, as I rolled in the ground, holding the spot I was shot. I cried in pain, as I held my bleeding shoulder.
I saw the man stand close to me. "So you think you are smart, and you can escape from us?" They said, as they both laughed hard.
"Oh why are you laughing, the little princess needs to be taken to the hospital for treatment." One of them said, and they both started another round of laughter.
"We want to have you, and believe me there is nothing you can do to stop us from doing that." The other one said, and I didn't bother saying anything to them.
"Do you know what to go first?" The first man asked the second man.
"No you can go first, while I watch out for you." The second guy replied to him.
"Ok then, if that's what you want." The first one said, and turned to walk to me.
"But make sure you are fast, because the boss will be waiting for us." The second man said,
"OK, I remember that, and I promise to make it snapping." He replied, and started walking towards me, while I slowly crapped away, but he kept coming.
"I can't believe that you are not yet tied princess." He said, with a wild smirk on his face, but I kept pooping as I finally stopped beside a tree, and sat down and rested my back on the tree.
"So how far are you able to go now?" He mocked me, and I couldn't say anything.
He bent over to my height, and moved towards me, and he kissed my lips forcefully. I bit his lips, and that made him quickly pull away and slapped me again.
I could see how furious he was but I didn't really care much, since they were still going to kill me. I really can't believe my life will end here, but nevertheless I still have to fight a little for myself.
"How dare you do that, I'm going to make you regret it." He yelled as he grabbed my head, and hit it on the tree, and immediately I started feeling dizzy.
"Please let me go, I didn't do anything to you." I said, with a faint voice.
"In your dreams," he said, and hit my head again on the tree. Just then we started hearing gun shots.
I wonder who were those people as I heard the noise coming closer to my direction, while the man has stopped hitting my head on the tree, and he is now looking back, to see who were those people coming.
I was already bleeding in my hand which I was shot, and my vision was blurry now. The people coming shot the men that wanted to killed me, and I became scared, but I wasn't too worried because I know I was going to die anytime soon.
The other group of men walked over to where I was lying in my pool of blood, and I tried to open my eyes to see them clearly,but I couldn't. I only knew they were close to me with their footsteps and just then I blacked out.
I flipped my eyes open, and I saw a ceiling. I tried to sit up, but my head hurts too badly. "Where am I?" I asked myself, just then the door flipped open and a lady in uniform walked in. "Oh, you are awake already?" The lady smiled at me. "Who are you?" I asked, and she just smiled, and said, she would be right back before leaving the door. I sighed softly as I glanced around the room. After a few minutes the lady returned with an elderly man, who you could say was in his fifties. The man approached me, and stopped right in front of me. "It's good you are awake, so you can finally tell you who you are and also where you are from." The man said, as he stood beside my bed side. "Who are you sir?" I asked. "I'm Mr onward, and the owner of this Mansion, and who are you?" He asked me after introducing himself. "I'm.. I'm…" I stuttered, as I couldn't remember anything about myself, and my life before I arrived at the spot where I was being chased by gunmen. "What aren't you saying
I slowly stepped forward Hoping that he wouldn't also behave like his mother. "Son, meet Macey, the girl I saved last night from those men." Mr Onward said, and he just gazed at me before turning back to face his food.Mr Onward also told me to have my seat, and I went over there and did as he had said. I was served my food almost immediately, and I started eating.Somehow it's was really awkward being at the dining table, with Mr. Onward 's wife and son, but Mr. Onward tried to make me feel comfortable there.After dinner, I quickly rushed off to my room, because I couldn't stand the gaze that was given to me by Mr. Onward 's wife and son. I just need to be out of their means as soon as possible, and that was what I did immediately when I got the opportunity.I relaxed back on my bed, as sleep took me off almost immediately.Soon it was finally morning, and I was calling for breakfast, but I decided not to go, as I requested for my food to be brought to my room. I tried to avoid g
"Yes, Carter that's my decision,so you are going to do it." My father said,"Dad, you can't be serious about that, are you?" I asked him, still finding it out to believe what he had just said."Son, I'm more than serious, if I wasn't then why would I come here to tell you about it?" He asked me."But dad, I'm not ready to get married anytime soon, so please don't try to bring Macey into the picture because I won't do that." I told him."Then get ready, to lose everything, because I'm going to Will everything to the orphanage then, because I can't sit back and watch you play with everything I have worked so hard for." He said,"Dad what are you talking about, as much as I remember? I have always been doing all the work I needed to do in the company well, so why are you bringing this up?" I asked him."Look Carter I don't have time to listen to all this you are saying to me right now. I have told you already either you get married to Macey or forgot about my company, and wealth." He sai
One morning I received a call from my father that he wanted to see me.I gave him an address to one nearby restaurant, and he promised to be there by noon to see me.I sighed softly after the call dropped, and I wondered why my father wanted to see me out of the blues. Because since I got married to Carter about a month ago, I only talked to my father on the phone, and he had never come to see me or ask me to come to see him.So this meeting was rather sudden, but he was my father, and so if he really wants to see me, I will have to just go. Maybe he has something important to tell me, so I just have to go over to him, and listen to whatever he has to say.I thought as I looked forward to the time he had mentioned that he would come to see the restaurant.I was home alone, so going to wherever I wanted to go wasn't any big deal to me. There is no one to stop me, so I totally have nothing to worry about. All I needed to do now was just to go ahead and get what I would be wearing out pr
I sighed softly as I slowly raised my head, and stared at the other side of the bed where he was laying down.He wasn't sleeping, and our eyes met. "What are you looking at?" He asked coldly, and I immediately looked away."I just asked you a question, so answer me immediately." He yelled."I'm sorry it's actually nothing, I only wanted to see if you are asleep already, because I couldn't sleep." I told him."If you can't sleep does that mean you should check up on me?" He asked."No, I'm really sorry, I promise this won't happen again." I told him."Gosh, I hate you so much, and I hate the fact that my father forced me into marrying you, though I knew you were the one that told him to do that." He said,"No I'm not the one please, I also tried talking to him to stop this marriage of a thing but he refused." I defended myself."Be quiet, and not make me lose my anger." He yelled, and immediately I got scared, and held my lips in my palms.He just stared at me for a while. "You and I k
I hate the fact that I love him now and I think I really need to stop myself from this madness called love. I thought and sighed softly.Days went by but still Carter and his mother kept frustrating me, and now that I had no one else to talk to because Mr James was dead.Somehow I felt so alone, and I really wish Mr James was still alive, so I could tell him every single pain I was feeling, but that is not possible because he is dead and done, so I can never see him ever again.I sighed softly as I thought of calling my dad. I grabbed my cell phone from the nightstand drawer, and was about dialling his contact when I remembered what he had told me the last time.I quickly dropped my phone back, and relaxed back on the bed. It was actually noon, and I'm the only one home. Carter has gone over to his office, while his mother has returned back to her husband's mansion, so there was no one bothering me.But I'm just feeling so lonely that I felt I needed to talk to someone so urgently.
CARTER POVWhen she said she wanted a divorce, I felt strange about it, but I like the fact that she was the one that had said it. Honestly, since my father's death, I should have made that decision, but I really don't know why I still remain in the marriage with her, when I knew that I don't really love her for a bit. I sighed softly and slowly continued my bath.When I entered the room I saw it was completely empty, and I just took a deep breath,as I went to get dressed.I went out of the room and headed straight to the dining room. I met just the cook there who quickly dished out my food for me. Just as I was about to eat, my phone rang. And I immediately took it up. I checked the caller's ID and saw it was one of my guards.I quickly pressed the answer button and placed it in my ears. "Sir, I'm sorry to disturb you, but some people attacked the warehouse and took away some goods from there." He spoke up immediately, and I frowned."I will be there in a minute
Chapter 9"Anna, let's go over to my office." I said to her, as she just nodded, and stood up from the chair she was sitting while I also did the same as we both started walking out of the meeting room.We entered my office together, and had a seat, as we talked about how the party was going to go. Honestly I really don't feel like attending any party tonight because I had a lot of work to do, but since those clients insisted, I had to do it, no matter what.We talked about how it was going to go for a while, and we decided to go over to the mall and get some dress which would be suitable for the party.We left the firm early, and we headed straight to the mall where I bought two dresses, one for myself and the other for Anna who couldn't stop thanking me,as we went over to my house."So Macey, what do you really like to eat now, so I can prepare it?" She asked me."Come on Anna,we haven't even get into the house yet, and you are already looking for a way to cook." I told her, as I br
