Sauntering to the castle with Damian on my side, my head is almost exploding from all of today's episodes. It's been like a horror movie with nanny Sonnia's murder as the most traumatic horror episode. The poor woman wasn't faulty of anything! Why did she have to die? I can't get her out of my head, and Gracia's threat is draining me of all the remaining peace in me, and finding these servants perched in the castle like this isn't settling well with my overworked-up self.We have always been caring for these people as more of a family than servants. We have employed more than we needed, just to avoid overworking them because we care. They sleep in absolute comfort, and we feed them well. They dine the same meals as we do. We pay them more handsomely, more than they can ever be paid somewhere else in this nation. We have done so much for them, yet some have the mettle to betray me and side with the enemy? The aftermath of their deception to which has claimed the life of an innocent per

"Try to relax, babe. Everything will be alright." Damian speaks as he stresses on the accelerator."I tried to conceal my trepidations back there but, Damian, we both know this woman is a psycho maniac. What if she hurts my friends?" I fume."I assure you we will rescue them before she does anything to them. Trust me." He assures as we enter the Hilton hotel gate.I hope we do liberate them soon because any more mishaps would kill me. They are innocent in this and they don't merit suffering at all. That monster better not do anything to them."We are here. Let's go. We need to make it in the office before we arouse any suspicions." Damian says, opening the door to his side but I grab his hand first."Wait." I speak.If we are meeting the detectives then I will have to lay out everything that I know, including my suspicions that Damian doesn't know. I don't want him to be caught by surprise."What is it?" He asks, closing the door."There is something I haven't told you, but that's bec

DAMIAN'S POVEllie was right about this disgusting woman. I didn't have to do anything. She brought her stuff here, and even started these useless conversations. It's been barely hours since I have known this woman, and all I can feel for her is hatred and pity. She is all that my wife described, even worse."So, why did you rush the marriage? I mean, you threw away the chance to enjoy life and try other fishes in the sea. Was it all worth it?" She asks, placing one leg on top of the other, her dress riding up pretty too high, I would say.An obvious move that makes me want to drag her out of my office and throw her out of the cold like garbage, but then the thought of Ellie and how all this shit is important to her makes me glue my ass on this chair and suppress my disinterests. I never would have considered doing this kind of suffocating shit for anyone in the world, but for my wife, for my beloved wife, I will swallow my pride and ego if need be only for her. "Hey, cutie! It's an

We get into the car and lock the doors, the curiosity to know about this misery that has been surrounding my family for ages threatening to kill me, and the desire to end it itching me."So what happened? Did papa accept your mother when mom went out of the picture?" I ask."It was worse. Riccaford loathed my mother with so much passion, and even forbade her to even show her face to him."Huh? "Then?""My mother never gave up. So, on this particular day during their last day at a college party, she drugged your father."OMG! So, they had sex? And Nelly? Nelly was the fruit of that act? So, she is..."The alcohol and the drug rendered your father a deadbeat. He blacked out the whole night. My mother had sex with another guy that same night and returned to your father's room, and he made him believe that they had intercourse. I was the fruit of that night "Deep sigh! I feel a bit relieved."So, you are the reason why my father had been sending money to your mother's bank account over

Forty-five minutes later.I reach to this seemingly three-storey house located in a secluded area in the outskirt part of Nairobi. It's a gated area, and it's surrounded by a jungle. No neighbouring houses, not even one. It looks a bit old from afar, but not that old to be termed abandoned. This doesn't look like a house to live through. Maybe it has its purpose.It's the time!I dial Damian's number."Ellie?" He picks on the first ring."I can see it. I am going in now." I say through the microchip.This was his idea. I also have a gun perfectly hidden on my back, and the back is just around. They needed to keep their distance to avoid any risks. We can't afford to screw this up. "Before anything, love, your safety comes first. You remember our deal?" Damian speaks."Yes, love. Don't you worry. I got this." I respond."Okay. How is the scene? Anything you can see? Security?" "No. I can't see anyone and that's so weird. Anyway. I will update you once I get inside.""Okay. Be careful
