"His men will be here soon.""Those men would be caught soon and our Amelia and Aiden would be with us soon Okay? ""No, No,No… ""Don't get the police involved in this. Justin, you don't know what you are doing. ""Amelia and Aiden, don't get the police.""Please " I pleaded With him with my two hands together. My head was clouded with worry . All this was happening because of me, because I took a wrong step so many years ago and I wasn't ready to make another mistake. For all I knew, Dean wanted me for something and until I fulfilled his wants, my children would remain with him and if I tried to Make any move against him, he wouldn't hesitate to harm both Aiden and Amelia. He was that ruthless and callous. "Are you crazy Isabelle?" "Our kids were kidnapped and you do not want to involve the police? ""I know everything. I know they were kidnapped,I am aware of everything."Then why do you want to put our kids in danger ? We were raising our voices at each other. I was rai
"Then get ready to mourn the death of your children Isabelle ......."" On second thought, I can just train them like I trained you. ""Your daughter is just like you. "I grabbed his suit in anger. Ignoring the fact that I could be killed and buried without anyone coming to know about my death. I thought of nothing but the words he said. My anger clouded my head and ruled over my mind. Guns were pointed at me from all directions in the room with men that were willing to pull the trigger without thinking twice. "You better watch your tongue. ""Do you expect me to fall on my knees, begging you for mercy like I did all those years ago? ""I will not ."He took my hands carefully away from his suit. "I wasn't expecting you to beg." He turned away from me and signaled his men to drop their weapons. Aisha, you will be haunting down Shinke Shinga. My partner. Ex-partner. All you need to know about the job is that he owes me and he is a dirty politician. "Why do I need to squash yo
Amelia and Aiden were home.I knew Dean considered my opinion, now I knew I had a spot. I was excited to see them again. The only thing I ever wanted was to see them again, well and free. Oh my God! Aiden? Amelia? I held both of them closer to my chest. Tears began to roll down my cheeks. It had been a day since I last saw them but it felt like ages. My tightened chest became lighter and my lips had nothing but their names on it. My sweet children. Are you okay? Are you hurt? Tell me. Did anyone hurt you? I freed them from my warm embrace and started searching for bruises On their skin. I found nothing. "We are fine Mummy, the bad men got a good scolding from an old man for tying us up," Aiden said. Dean scolded the men that kidnapped them. He scolds them for treating my kids the way he"They did? "I asked Yes, Mummy, the old man was fun. He gave us a lot of toys and told us he was your good friend. Amelia added. "Mummy, I miss you," Amelia told me. Justin was outside
My phone was lying on the dining table while I watched James and Justin make up. " YOU GOT YOUR KIDS BACK. ""9 pm, you will get my job done.""Don't mess this up, Isabelle.""I took your children once, I won't hesitate to take them again. ""This time far away from you. Trust me"Dean's messages rolled in. I was so occupied with whatever was going on in my living that the Beeping of my phone all fell on deaf ears. Justin invited James in to have a seat while he called the children. Amelia and Aiden came out and gave him a big warm hug. It all felt right but it wasn't. Justin and James all under the same roof made me feel uncomfortable. It was what I had wanted all this while. To move on from the past, with My present in full knowledge and understanding of my situation. It happened. What I wanted happened. Justin my past and James my present were both aware of everything and now and not just that, they were on good terms.Why was I so scared? Why did the fear of falling
We were both struggling. He was trying to pull the gun out of my hands with all his might while I struggled to keep my feet. Jessica didn't get herself involved in our struggle. She stood up and kept yelling at Dylan to let go of me. " Just give her the dang money Dylan ""Shut the fuck up," Dylan replied.Dylan was groaning and panting heavily. For a woman, my grip was surprisingly tight. I learned from the best after all. "Give it to me. " He yelled while releasing the grip he had on me."Show your face bitch " Dylan was struggling to get the gun out of my hands and at the same time reveal my identity. While we were struggling, he pressed my hands against the trigger and I fired a shot. The sound of the shot tingled in my ears for seconds. Who did I shoot? How did I fire the gun? All these questions had no answers. "ISABELLE " I voice called out. Dylan was distracted and so was I. We both looked in the direction of Jessica. Unlike Dylan, I was worried sick about Je
Dylan lay on the floor growling. His gun was far from and closer to Justin. "Take Jessica and leave.""Now," I ordered with a fierce tone. That was the only chance we had. Now that I knew Dylan was dangerous and my cover was blown, things were complicated. "I can't leave you all here Justin. Isabelle. " Jessica said with tears in her throat." You have to go " "James, please take her with you," Justin said immediately. We had limited time. Dylan was taking longer than expected to get up and it was all in our favor. "I can't leave Isabelle."" Isabelle, I'm not going to leave you," James said. The tension was building up. Deciding who was going to stay and who was going to leave created tension. "Fucking leave James."" We don't have time." "Go."I lashed out angrily. Every second spent on the yacht was dangerous. I was scared for my life, I was scared for theirs. Justin, James, and Jessica. "I will get Isabelle home.""Take Jessica to a safe place," Justin assured James
My heart was racing. So fast that Justin could hear at least I thought. Dylan said we had just seven minutes. Seven minutes before the yacht exploded. "Go ahead hero, beat me to death," He told Justin with a weak smile on his face.Justin wanted to hit him again but what was the use? He thought. He angrily let go of him allowing his head to drop to the ground. "Where is it ?" Justin asked Dylan. I was already searching every nook and cranny of the yacht in search of the boom. "I Said where is it ?" "There is no point looking for it now ." "Just sit back and enjoy your last moment together.""Shut up and answer my question." "Justin, we do not have time for all this.""We need to get this thing out of here .""So many lives are at stake .""Dammit."I was pacing up and down the room, impatiently in search of the Bomb. Justin did the Same. Dylan wasn't helping matters. He just laid there, watching the drama unfold With a smile of satisfaction on his face. Our lives alone were
James took Jessica far away from where we were . Reluctantly he left us. He left. James drove Jessica to my house. He knew the kids were alone and it was dangerous. He knew all of that and made the right decision. The kids were the reasons I made all those decisions without telling anyone . My bad decision would have all gone to waste if anything happened to them. When James arrived home,it was easy for him to go in as he knew I always kept my spare key underneath the flower pot at my doorstep. Aiden and Amelia were fast asleep. It was already so late. James ushered Jessica in, he cautiously went in also making sure Noone was watching." Can I get you water ?" He asked Jessica who was Nervously shivering. At that moment, thinking at everything that had happened that evening, Jessica was choked with regret . She nodded. James went to the kitchen, got a glass of water and on his way back he peeped into the kids room and saw that they were still asleep. "Here" He hand
