Evan turned his head whilst on the floor and saw Hunter and Ludo. On the far left was Ludo’s mother tied up in a chair.“What are you doing here?” Evan aggressively stood up.Hunter stopped him. “I didn’t come here for you,” He said.“You killed my brother,” Evan said angrily.“Oh I see you have been told,” Hunter looked down on Ludo. “Unfortunate how lies spread.”“It’s not a lie, you are the only person I know capable of doing that, you killed Hilary too,” Evan yelled.“Her doing, not mine,” Hunter said.Evan stepped forward.“Don’t you dare,” Hunter furiously looked at him.Evan clenched his fists.Hunter noticed and said, “Constrain yourself otherwise you will get killed.”“Hunter, what do you want?” Ludo asked.“Remember our deal?” Hunter asked back.“Deal?” Evan looked at Ludo.“Yes Evan,” Hunter answered. “Just like Hilary, Ludo played you too.”Evan’s shoulders slumped.“It’s not what you think, Evan,” Ludo said.“These women still end up disappointing me,” Hunter nodded his h
Ludo walked to a nearby phone station and texted her father. After a while, a car pulled over and Joe came out.“Dad,” she ran and hugged him.“It’s alright Ludo, I’m here,” Joe led her to the car.They reached Joe’s house which he was renting and he led her to his bedroom and told her to rest.“How about you?” She asked.“I’ll sleep on the couch, don’t worry,” he answered. “We can shift tomorrow, there is a two-bedroom apartment next door for rent should you decide to stay long.”“I’ll be here for a while yea.”“Good I’ll make arrangements,” Joe sighed. “Do you want to talk about what happened?”“No dad,” Ludo answered.” Maybe tomorrow. ”“Okay baby Rest now you can tell me about everything tomorrow morning.”Ludo couldn’t sleep. She couldn’t get over the fact that her mother was behind everything that has been happening, and for what? Money. She felt betrayed. She slept at five in the morning and was awoken by her father.“Ludo, come and see what’s on the NEWS,” Joe called her.“Wha
A dark orange ford ranger 2016 was parked outside the Chief’s palace in Chisoti village. Opposite it was a white Corolla Altis. The surrounding was deserted despite being eight in the morning. Indistinct voices could be heard from outside the small respected palace but what was more apparent were the voices coming from the Chief’s office further away from the main house. Hearing the voices, one could agree that where men talked, it sounded like a fight would start.“I still stand by my decision,” Chief Chovu said looking at the two men seated in front of him. “That land is sacred, i cannot sell it; my people won’t let me.”The two men looked at each other. One of them sat upright and broke the silence, “Chief Chovu we respect that you respect the land more than anything. I love that in a man,” he paused, “We have been coming here for the last six months and your stance on the issue has been amazing but…..”“What my colleague Ben here is trying to say is that,” the other man interrupte
Arriving at the hospital, Ludo called Melanie. She was fed up with this cycle. If it wasn’t the prison, it was the streets, now the hospital. She had promised herself not to involve herself in Evan’s life but as it stood, she was still in it. She walked to the ward he was admitted and before entering, she took a long deep breath. It had been nine months since she last saw him. She found Melanie talking on the phone while Evan had his eyes closed. She knew he was pretending to be sleeping because he knew it was her. She closed the door behind her and waited on Melanie to finish talking on the phone while she looked at Evan contemptuously.He had some stitches on his forehead, a black eye and a swollen lower lip. Whatever happened to the mighty Evan? She wondered before being interrupted by Melanie.“You’re here?"” Yes,” Ludo sighed putting her handbag on a table.“Good, I have to leave. I left Zeus with the maid, she’s new and I don’t fully trust her yet,” Melanie stepped towards Ludo
Everyone in Chisoti village knew how arrogant and stubborn Walutanga was but some people had never witnessed any of those traits till that day at the site. The workers heard indistinct voices coming from him and his father, the chief. Voices were slowly rising, getting everyone’s attention. The Chief was on top of his voice and so was Walutanga.The Chief saw that everyone was looking at them, he tried to calm the nonstop talking Walutanga, “Okay let’s talk about this at home.”“No father, we are going to talk about it here!” He yelled.Everyone’s heads turned in shock, their mouths gaped. What sort of disrespectfulness were they witnessing, they all wondered.“I won’t tolerate this, young man,” The chief whispered trying to grab the boy’s hand.Ducking his father’s hand, Walu said, “This school will be built. I have managed to bring it this far with no one’s help but my friend’s. Apparently, we are the only ones who think this village needs another school.”“Boy don’t be stupid,” Jun
Ben and Devi exchanged glances after walking around the unfinished school building. They knew they were so close to having the chief sign up the deal. They had been patient enough and it was getting on their last nerves. What irritated them more was the surfacing of the Chief’s young son, Walutanga. Despite him being the youngest, what he was saying could alter the Chief's mind and now that they were so close to the deal, they had to do something.“I’m getting sick and tired of this,” Ben whispered to Devi.“You just don’t know how fed up I am with this already,” Devi whispered back.“Do something.” Ben urged.“What do you mean do something? What do you want me to do?” Devi looked at Ben confused. “Aren’t you the diplomat?”Ben watched the Chief and his two sons argue. “I think this is family business, don’t you think?”“I thought you said you’re fed up?”“I am, but getting involved would only raise suspicions, don't you think?”Devi got tired of the bickering and stepped in, “Chief,
Stephen stood, still staring at the book in his hands. *This book, how can a real life experience be transferred into a book, who wrote it?* he thought to himself.Ameliah walked up to him and took his hand…“What’s wrong?” Ameliah asked worriedly…“It’s nothing, this book…It’s not just a story Lia, it’s real” He said still staring at the book…Ameliah gasped in shock…“What?!” She exclaimed…Stephen walked to her wardrobe and placed it back there then he walked up to her…“Do you still remember who sold this book to you” He asked…“Of course I do” She said..“That’s good, tomorrow you’ll take me to where you bought it” He said and she nodded…“Come on, I want to cuddle with you to sleep” Ameliah said pulling Stephen by the hand.She suddenly stopped pulling him and looked at her hand…“Why am I not feeling any spark when i held hands with you like before?” She asked to Stephen…“I don’t know” He said looking at his hands too…*Something smells fishy*, He thought…He shrugged the fee
He teleported them back to his house. He walked to his wardrobe as he removed his shirt to change. Ameliah walked in the bathroom to have a quick bath. He changed into his night wear and then he laid down on the bed, thinking how the next day would look like…*Tomorrow is the blue moon, I just hope that everything works out well*, He thought…“Stephen?” Ameliah said and Stephen turned to face her.His mouth dropped to the floor as he watched her. She was dressed in a short transparent night gown that exposed her thigh…“How do I look?” She said and twirled around…“Are you trying to seduce me?” He asked…Ameliah rolled her eyes and walked to her side of the bed…“Of course I’m not trying to seduce you, I saw this night wear in my wardrobe and it looked really cute so I decided to put it on” She said as she laid down beside him, facing him….“Are you scared?” She suddenly asked…Stephen looked at her and nodded with a sullen look on his face. Ameliah then crawled towards him and placed
