Chapter: Chapter five CHAPTER FIVEAs army drove in silence, I felt the city’s cool breeze and liveliness outside the window. Though I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched completely, but with Army by my side, I felt a sense of safety. We finally got to army’s apartment it was a very small one, but the street looks and feels calm that I couldn’t help but think.“I think I’ll be safe here” I thought.Army unlocked the door, and we stepped inside. I took a deep breath as a sense of relief washed over me. For the first time since I got released. The apartment was cozy with few touches that made it feel like home and I absolutely loved it.Army quickly excused herself to the kitchen. I sat in her small living room while waiting for her show up.Few minutes later, army came back with a cup of steaming coffee.“Here” she said handing the cup of coffee to me.“And welcome to my humble abode” she said, with a broad smile plastered across her face.I returned the smile, while I took the coffee in silen

Chapter: Chapter four CHAPTER FOUR I stared at the stranger’s retreating figure as he stepped out of the hospital room, leaving me with more questions than answers. Who was he?, why is he trying to help me?, And what did he mean by “uncover the truth?”. I was tired, tired of everything, I just want to leave everything behind and live a free life, but with these stranger’s appearances, it seems like everything is just getting more complicated and draining for me,as it feels like my past, present and future are tied together.My gaze drifted to the window,watching the bustling streets which seemed worlds away from me,from the turmoil growing inside of me.I let out a hiss as the stranger’s word echoed in my mind.“ they’re going to stop at nothing,just to make your life a living hell”. Why?..what did I do?. Will things have been better if I had listened to father?should I go back to my family? will they keep me safe this time?.. I winched as pain shot through my head. the nurse had advised me to rest, b

Chapter: CHAPTER THREE CHAPTER THREEI let out a groan as I slowly regained consciousness, slowing taking in my environment, the room was dimly lit “still in the hospital” I murmured.Sitting beside me was the guy who saved me. He didn’t know I was awake as he was gazing out of the window. I took in his features and tried searching my memory to know if I had seen him before the incident..but my memory was blank. The nurse gentle voice came in “Miss smith,you’re awake” she said with a bright smile.“Good morning nurse” I replied with a lit smile.This had brought the attention of the stranger to us. his gaze was fully on me, which made me uneasy.“How are you feeling now?” The nurse asked as she did a general check up on me.“I’m fine, just tired and hungry” I replied letting out a yawn.“I’ll get you something to eat” the stranger replied and walked off. Leaving the nurse and I. “What’s ur relationship with that guy” the nurse asked.“ No relationship, he’s just a random guy that saved me.” I replied, eve

Chapter: CHAPTER TWOCHAPTER TWOI slowly opened my eyes in an unknown room, I was feeling so blank as I tried to take in my surroundings,when it occurred to me that I was in an hospital room. memories flooded back _ being released from prison today after two years, the car, the figure, the eyes and him calling my name.“Who was that? It can’t be Eric, he was announced dead two years ago..but, what if ?””“Ahh” i winced as I tried to sit up, but a sharp pain shot through my head.

Few moments later, a doctor walked in.“M

Chapter: CHAPTER ONECHAPTER ONEStaring out of the window in deep thoughts, fighting back the tears threatening to spill down my face, as the last thing I want to show now is “weakness”. I can’t afford to show it, I can’t afford to break down now, not when I’ve finally gotten the freedom I’ve always wanted.I let out a deep sigh as I pulled my eyes away from the window bringing them back to reality, standing before me where to sack bags piled up with clothes, I gave the room one last look before stepping out and with a confused mind, I shut the door. Leaving back all the pains and traumas I have once felt during the years I stayed in there. “Camellia,Camellia,” I could hear my little sister’s voice from a distance as I walked towards the front desk.“Hello! miss camellia,we’re so glad that you’re finally free, and I hope you’d stay away from troubles henceforth” one of the female cops there spoke with a smile while handing some papers to me.I picked up a pen from the desk and signed without saying a w
