BEHIND THE VEIL

I knew I was going to hell.My name is Olivia. Think of a beautiful lady of 22 yrs, elegant and charming in appearance like the roses of the valley.The worst thing I hate is trouble because I have a delicate heart and never had it crossed my mind to ever hurt a fly but here I am, behind a Hilux with cuffs on my wrists while a chain engulfed my ankles like a criminal.Looking beside me, I saw men dressed in army uniform at my both sides, handling a deadly rifle which they would use to send any unfortunate being to an early grave. None of them were smiling. They look scary and fear grips my fragile heart.As the Hilux drove through the City, I felt the urge to jump down and escape but that is one surest way to die. I'm not going to survive it and the soldiers wouldn't think twice before shooting me dead at any attempt to escape.I know you must be wondering what offense a gentle and beautiful soul like me committed that is about to lead me to one of the deadliest prisons- Rikers priso

I said rhetorically before following Ruto to the telephone spot.Her finger typed on the buttons of the telephone as she input a number.“Who are you calling?" I asked her.She didn't respond. Rather, she put the phone to her ear and I looked away, observing prisoners moving along the pass

Getting back to my cell, I began to pace up and down while Grace and Amaya glanced at each other wondering why I returned only to look worried.Ruto is right. Men are scum! I was feeling the same rage she felt over her boyfriend's betrayal and I wished for nothing but to put a bullet into Maverick's skull.A drop of his thought in my mind makes me effuse angrily. I hate everything about him, his face… his fucking scent!Grace stood up with the cigar clipped between her fingers.“Who came visiting and why are you suddenly looking worried?" She asked worriedly.I gritted my teeth, facing the wall, my chin raised. I turned back to Grace with an eyes red with anger and reached out for the cigar in her hand. She didn't resist but she had a surprising look on her face as I took the cigar to my lips.“I thought you said don't smoke?" She glanced at Amaya on the bed.I drew the content of the cigar and puffed the smoke out in the air. I coughed loudly, the cigar choking me.Grace tried to co
