The whole room was cold. It wasn't where a human should be. One would freeze to death if left here for long.
Valerie woke up in this room with chains around her hands, but she was on the bed. Valerie couldn't tell what it was because she couldn't see the label on the stacks of unopened cans.
She tried to sit up, but she couldn't, as her hands were tied, so were her legs. She struggled to free her legs, which were tied with ropes instead of chains, but it only hurt her more.
She looked around from the position she was in and turned her head around.
"What happened?" She thought.
Justin started asking them questions and immediately Martin agreed to answer them."How much do you know, Scott?" Justin asked just to be sure they were not wasting their time."I know him well enough. He's my homey," Martin said.Okay, where is his secret hideout? Justin asked immediately."Secret hideout?" Martin asked."Besides the undertakers' home, I don't think he got any," Martin said."You think?" Justin scoffed angrily."I'm serious," Martin said."Y'all already searched the hideout and he wasn't there," Martin asked."If we didn't, we wouldn't be asking you," Xavier scoffed."So much for friendship," Justin mumbled.Martin was taken back to his cell since he had nothing to offer and Ronnie was brought in."He claims they are friends, yet he knows nothing about his homey, shit!" Justin cussed.Martin came in minutes later and they cuffed him to the table as they did to Ronnie.
While Justin tried each door trying to look for his wife, he thought if what Scott had said was true, he wondered if all the people he loved actually died because he wasn't a good person or maybe he was a killer in his past life and this was a way to make up for the deaths of the people he had caused.He wasn't one to pray but he mumbled a prayer as he opened the door trying to find the love of his life. He really didn't want to lose her before he could appreciate her.He opened the last door and he saw someone by the door.He recognized the clothes she had put on before she left before."Valerie" he mumbled."Justin," she said softly and began to cry. He couldn't comfort her there so he scooped her up and carried her in bridal style down the stairs. She was cold and weak, he hoped she was okay more so he hoped their baby was okay as well.He carried her downstairs to see detective Joe had caught Scott."You didn't think I'll let you
The news for the next few weeks was filled with all sorts of things and the tabloid wasn't left out in it."The real owner of STE enterprises reclaimed his company"."The undertakers were caught by the CCPD, the president commends them a job well done"."Fake or plastic surgery man who pretended to be Mr smith the late owner of STE enterprises commit suicide"." Turns out the tyrant who died 5 years ago wasn't a tyrant at all"."The undertakers' group were all sentenced to life imprisonment while the lots who were arrested at Nirvana were given verdicts of their own based on the number of their Crimes""Tyrant who identifies as Jaden was actually a good student of Central City university, the press offers its apology to his family"All sorts of news were on the television, on the internet, and even in the newspapers.The news could really kill a man, Justin thought as he got ready for their day out.They wanted to go out
The sky was dark and the rain continued to drizzle and there was still traffic. It was 7 o’clock in the morning but it looked like it was 9 pm in the night because of the dark sky. “Can’t you take a detour duke?” Valerie asked the driver. “If I take the detour ma’am, we might still meet the traffic on the other side,” he said. “So, I’m stuck in this motherfu...” Valerie said but was interrupted by her older brother. “Nope, you are not going to say any foul word in my car,” Xavier said. “Oh please, Xavier, we are stuck!” Valerie said continuing to complain about the weather’s wrong timing. “I’m driving you, young lady, in my car to your fashion store even though I’m late to work, don’t complain,” Xavier said irritated by his little sister’s attitude. “Please Xavier, you are only 5 years older than me and technically you are not driving, Duke is,” Valerie said and Xavier ignored her knowing
Valerie plugged in her Air Pods and listened to music by her favorite artist - Justin Bieber ft. Ariana Grande in ‘Stuck With You.’ “Hey babe,” Tyler said when she got there. “Is this your 11 am?” Valerie said checking the time. “I’ve been here since 9 am and it’s 1 pm now, Ty,” Valerie said. “I’m sorry okay, I had a quickie with Mr. cute this morning and I ran into James too,” Tyler said. “You don’t know the name of the man, do you?” Valerie asked Tyler. “I didn’t fuck him for his name,” Tyler said. “Okay, so you met James, as in the James? James Taylor?” Valerie asked. “Yea, girl, James Taylor Mackessy, my ex-beast of a boyfriend,” Tyler said. “Are you okay? he didn’t do anything to you did he?” Valerie asked concerned. “I bumped into him at the lounge,” Tyler said. “What?” Valerie asked. “He’s here, in Star lounge?” Valerie asked.
*The next day*Justin settled down into his apartment, he didn’t want to work in his father’s company and still leave in his father’s house.When he was 18, his father gifted him the apartment as a birthday gift so it was under his name officially not his father’s.He checked around and saw there was dust everywhere. The house needed cleaning and dusting and he was the only one to do all the work. If only Jaden was here, he thought.Jaden Blake was Justin’s best friend who died 5 years ago when they were 21years old. Justin could never forget him and it was this house where they were up to mischief and all sorts of things. Jaden was a black young man with green eyes.Well, technically, he was brown because he was born to a white mother and a black father. Though his race nor background never for once affected their relationship. Jaden was from an average family. They weren’t rich n
Acthey came into the house, Valerie cautioned him, “You really should quit riding your motorcycle so late at night.”“You bought it for me, baby, why shouldn’t I?” Scott said giving her a peck.They sat on the couch and Valerie sighed. Her face was swollen and her eyes were getting teary but Scott didn’t even notice.“Why are you quiet?” He asked when she wouldn’t say anything but keep sighing.“Well, I thought you’ll never ask Scott,” Valerie said.“You never call me Scott; I always call you. Isn’t that what lovers are meant to do? To call each other every minute of the day and talk about the day” Valerie said.“I never visit you at night and yet you are not asking me why I’m here by fifteen minutes to eight in the night,” Valerie said raising her voice.“Val, you know I look for jobs during the day and I don’
“Could someone perhaps explain what happened here?” as he returned to his office, Xavier said. Present were a lot of reporters there, and two of his employees were killed and three more were injured.“Are you Mr. Houston?” A policeman asked.“Yes, that’s me,” Xavier said.“Well sir, from the CCTV footage we watched, your company was attacked by the notorious thieves who call themselves the undertakers,” the policeman said.“I don’t understand, why?” Xavier asked.“Can you follow me to the station so we can explain fully?” the policeman asked and Xavier nodded in affirmation.When they arrived at the station, the policeman directed him to the detective in charge of the case.“My name is detective Joe Allen and I’m in charge of the undertaker’s case,” Detective Joe said“Why should these so-called undertakers ro
