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
Samuel had arranged his apartment, eagerly waiting for Alya to come. He had pleaded with her to show up by nine pm today. He stomped his feet nervously, checking his watch consecutively and pacing around the room. All he wants this night is to get Stacy's number from Alya. He needs to speak with her... urgently.Immediately, he saw Alya through the window, he took a deep breath, walked up to the door and opened it. Alya had this blank expression on her face which he responded with a fake smile before letting her in and shutting the door. "What do you want to take?" He asked, staring at the quiet Alya."What do you want Samuel? You can't just call me out by this time for nothing?" She crossed her arm below her chest, arching her brow at him."Loosen up, babe. I've missed you. That's my reason." He smiled awkwardly and sat beside her. "Don't you remember all those fun times we had together" he tried to kiss her neck when Alya interrupted him by requesting water. Backing off, he nodde
Matteo sat down on his chair looking quite confused as he remembered all that happened. He could see himself watching Stacy while she observed some couple seated on a chair. She walks out grumpily to his car, the expression on her face was evidence of the anger that burns within her. Matteo stood there and gasped before going back to the place they stood before. It turned out that the couple they had observed was Jason and Blaze, the girl he saw the other day at his house. He walked up to them and greeted them. He observed Blaze's skin with bruises and immediately she covered it up and flashes a smile his way. "I didn't know you guys came""Yeah, we did, but couldn't finish the movie" Blaze replied, smiling awkwardly."Where's Stacy?" Jason's voice came out hoarsely as his eyes ran around the place with no sign of her. He stood up and plonked his brow at Matteo. "She's in my car"On getting to his car, he saw Stacy searching through his files. Jason came closer and opened the door, d
