Xavier kept looking at Bethany until he got hold of himself and yanked her hands off. "Seems like you are already awake" He adjusted his t-shirt and stood up abruptly. Bethany scratched her nape and yawned lightly. "And I slept again" She managed to stand up as she walked out of the room without uttering anything. On getting to her door, she inserted her pin and got inside her room, slamming her door too hard.Xavier shook his head and walked into his apartment annoyed. "That rude lady" he mumbled and plopped down on the bed.At home, Stacy took a warm bath and wore her night dress. Her mind was uneasy. She stood and began pacing, her hand massaging her jaw. "I haven't thanked him, I should thank him but how?" She reached her door and got outside her room into the passway. It was already 2 am. She walked slowly and got to Jason's room. Seeing him lying by his side on the bed, reminded her of her first day here and how she saw his face. "Time flies indeed," she thought and got in."A
That night, as Jason shut his eyes, he saw flashes of himself, filled with rage, standing over a man he had shot dead. Other images of five men flashed in, lying lifeless in different positions, at different locations. He felt relieved, breathing the metallic scent of their blood before walking out of there. He was dressed as Black Moon and the wind played with his black jacket which was as dark as a heart void of forgiveness. He opened his eyes, watching the ceiling. "I'm almost there, Rose." He smiled and averted his gaze at Stacy before laying a soft kiss on her cheeks.*******************Alya woke up with a spiralling headache. She made to stand but fell back to the bed. "Where am I?" She mumbled with her eyes moving through the familiar room. "Home? Home!""How did I get here? Why did I drink too much?" She scampered off her bed. Rushing to the mirror " I look horrible" her hands went over her face and she sighed lowering her head. Immediately, Ms. Sonia walked into the room and
Blaze stood and sat down abruptly. She hasn't been herself. Ever since she heard the question "where are you?" from the other side of the phone, she has been perturbed. "I have to act as fast as possible. At least if I'm to get caught, I'll be with my prey" While she bit her fingernails, her ears reacted to the sound outside. It seemed as if the leaves moved. Her heartbeat increased and she hurriedly went outside out of curiosity. "I thought this place couldn't be tracked" she pulled the gates wide open and went to the leaves. Lowering herself to the ground, she saw a footmark and wondered who it could be. "Hmm" "Let it not be what I'm thinking" she got in and sat down, scratching her nape when she heard Jason's car horns. She rushed to her room and locked her door. Jason and Stacy got in, giggling. "Where is she?" Stacy asked and he shrugged. She got to her door and laid a knock but no one responded. "Are we that late? Seems she's asleep?"She ran to Jason, hugged and told him Go
"Samuel?" Is that really you? What happened to you? I thought you were dead?" Alya stood up immediately clutching onto her phone close to her ear."I got into a real mess Lia. I ran away but I'm back now" Alya said nothing but listened carefully. "Where is Stacy? How can I talk to her?" He asked and she shut her eyes in annoyance, scoffing loudly "Fuck! After sleeping with me numerous times like you wished, you couldn't even ask me how I have been. How I've coped? Rather you are asking about some other girl? Is that fair?" She shouted into her phone and Samuel tried to calm her down."Calm down sweetie. She was your best friend by the way. Never mind how have you been?" Alya hesitated before answering that she was fine. She plopped down on her bed and began talking to Samuel who she had missed for 3 years and counting now. "Can we meet?" Samuel asked eagerly waiting for a "yes" and Alya managed to mumble a "yes".Immediately she left, Samuel threw his phone across the bed looking qu
"Rose has been by my side since high school till we got into the university. She met me when I started living with the Derricks...""The Derricks?" Stacy asked confused. Jason looked at her and turned to the wheel. "I was adopted when I ran away from the cartel. Back then, Being only fifteen years old, they saw me across the street lying half-dead, took me in and treated me. Mom was a doctor. That was when Crystal came into the picture, she was their only child. She liked me so much as her brother and it made her parents happy. They enrolled me into school and the university. Rose was Crystal's friend. She'd visit the house every day as of then.I thought I was free, living with the Derricks, but I wasn't. Stone was still on me. He had trained me to be an assassin that eliminated any of his enemies. When I ran away, he lost an asset. I tried many ways of deserting from Stone, one of which is to study at a university far from home. Rose also enrolled into the same university as me.Dur
In a swift, I turned to a man beside me and ceased him. It happens to be the head of the gang. He gave his men orders and they halted. Immediately they released Crystal, I shot the man beside her but instead, she came crashing to the floor.Everything happened in a flash. I'm sure, I aimed and shot the man but I can't explain how she got shot in the process. "Did I just shoot my sister?" I have never missed a target, was my hand that shaky? How can I kill my Sister?I ran over and held her. She reached for my face and muttered a "thank you" as blood gushed out of her mouth and stomach."Take care of my company. Promise me and mom... And dad" she coughed out blood and I shook my head in disbelief that my sister was about to die by me "Make sure my co...usins don't get to t...ake the company" With a smile on her face, she averted her gaze to somewhere before shutting her eyes. Her hand hit the floor and it dawned on me that she was dead. The men there ran away at the sound of the poli
Jason released his grip and walked into the sitting room. "Let's be honest with ourselves, here. That's one of our promises." Jason looked at her and felt weak to talk but he had to. He narrated everything about himself to Rose from his childhood in the cartel to when he began to live with his new parents. He didn't leave the part where he was trained to be an assassin and how he killed numerous men in a twinkle of an eye. Rose's heart palpitated. She couldn't believe her ears but instead of letting her fears and doubts overwhelm her. She hugged Jason who expected rejection at the moment. "I'm not proud of you for all the people, you have killed, but I believe that everyone has a past, some are dirtier than this. Thank you for opening up to me." Jason stared at her in disbelief and she chuckled "Why are you staring at me like that? You thought I would run out of the house-" immediately he leaned closer and kissed her passionately. She kissed back, messing with his hair. He broke of
Stacy dressed casually. She had a black huge hoodie over white jeans trousers and a tiny white bag. Her sneakers were black with a touch of silver on its sole. She stood in Infront of the door, her hand on the knob, about to open the door but turned when she heard Jason's voice."We are going with you then" Jason blurted and Stacy's grip loosened on the door knob."We? What does he mean by "we"? It was like he read her thoughts. He walked over to Blaze who was seated at the game stand and pulled her closer to him. The close body contact made Stacy's heart skip and a trench of jealousy flashed on her face. She staggered a bit and tucked her hair behind her ear. "Oh? I didn't expect that" Blaze looked at Jason's mean face. Does he want to go to this length to stay with her? I'm a bit jealous. She pouted her lips and folded her arms. "Go change, I'll be waiting over the couch. Five minutes" Stacy uttered and went over to the couch mumbling. "Why must they be so close?" A sly smile cov
