Ashley jerked up to the sound of gunshots being fired, fear gripped her as she sat beside her bed trembling. "Have they found me?" She thought to herself, if they did know she was in this house then she had better go outside so they can find her easier. She stood up making her way to the door trying to open it but it was locked, she had forgotten that George wasn't one to take risks and was yet to trust her."Damn!" She bit her lips thinking of what to do, she didn't know how to pick locks so she looked around the room for anything that could help her get out of the room. She banged the door hard trying to gain the attention of the guard standing outside her room door."Get me out of here." She screamed banging on the door constantly but he didn't listen to her and maintained his position. Ashley saw that and immediately stopped, looking around the room in a desperate attempt to run, she tried breaking the window glass but it didn't even make a crack. She brushed her hair backward wi

"What makes you think you have the choice of leaving this place?" George asked gazing at them with deep seeded anger, he pointed his gun at them with another hand in his pocket with a coy smile as he got closer. "What do you take me for?" "Bastard!""Now's not the time to chit-chat, we need to make a run for it." Kay reminded Alex who was glaring at George."Don't you think that's what he wants us to do?" Kay pointed out."It's better than standing waiting for him to sink a bullet in us?" Alex replied."Why don't you run off, I'll hold him back." Kay offered since he could hardly move but Alex wasn't buying the idea, he can't bear to lose someone at this moment."Not today buddy, you need to survive." Alex carried him up and they both walked through the door that led to the garage, bolting it from the inside. They both raced to the car but a gunshot made them stop in their tracks, they stared at the direction from which it was fired."Just where do you think you're going?" George as

The explosion of the mansion was the talk of the whole country as it was in a very popular area and caused lots of casualties and decreased the value of houses. The police notified the public it was due to a mafia dispute, and many feared more of it may occur again. Tracy and Susan sat across the television with saddened expressions, it's been months since it happened yet it felt like yesterday and they couldn't get over the fact that their friend was dead and didn't even get a chance to have her child. After the decision they had told the police to search for the remains of their friend but there was no sign of her existence which left them in a haze."Any leads from the detective?" Tracy asked looking up at Susan who kept typing on her laptop."Nope! Seems like they've given up looking for her, we can't even have a memorial for her." Susan mumbled with evident tears in her eyes, she still couldn't bring herself to accept the fact that her friend was dead. She clenched her fists tryi

Alex held the iron bar in his hand tightly as he approached the man who had no idea what was to occur, Alex felt somewhat guilty about what he was about to do but remembered he needed to do away with George so that Ashley could be safe. He lifted the bar and just in time the man turned around but it was too late as it hit his head making him pass out instantly."Forgive me." He mumbled while dragging the man and looking around to ensure no one noticed him. He hid him in a corner and quickly changed their clothes. He put the hood over his head and a piece of clothing to hide his face. He walked into the car and revved the engines driving down the road to where he was to meet with George as discussed. After a while, he found him by the side of the road looking around somewhat nervously and felt relieved when he saw the car approaching. Alex parked by the side not getting out of the car and just looking at the window trying to act unsuspicious."I'll go get my things." George walked back

The news had reached the whole country about the return of Alex who was thought to have been dead for months now. Alex stared at Ashley who seemed to be lost in thoughts as she sipped her glass of juice."What seems to be on your mind darling." He placed a gentle kiss on her lips while stroking her hair, she watched him beside her."I never thought this day will come, those dreadfully long months that slowly ate me up…" Ashley stared at the guests who had come to celebrate with them, her eyes filled with tears but she held them in so as not to ruin her makeup."It's alright, we are together now." Alex soothed her, pulling her closer to him as he sipped his glass of champagne."I'm glad you're okay." A couple approached them with a warm smile, Ashley couldn't help but notice how beautiful the woman was, her perfectly made-up face and her pointed nose along with her neatly curled brunette hair. She had an hourglass shape which was snatched with a cream-fitted dress."Why don't we catch
