CHAPTER TWENTY SIX
Six years ago, Ludo and Evan were so in love. Ludo pictured her life with no one but him. During her university years, everything between them was fine until she graduated. Evan lost everything he had in their third year of the relationship and Ludo noticed that he gradually started becoming distant. Things escalated quickly when she got her job at the first firm she worked for; Anderson Practitioners. She left the firm because of Evan. They had an argument at the firm and her bosses then weren’t as lenient as Lance, her current boss; they sucked her. Two months later, she started working for Lance and Associates. She didn’t want to lose her job again because of Evan.
“I know it’s difficult but can you just forget about him,” Joe interrupted her thoughts. They were both riding home together in Joe's car.
She sighed.
“Every time you make progress, he shows up and in one way or another, he messes up with your mind,” he dro

Hunter’s eyes opened and met with that of a young nurse by his side. He checked where he was and it seemed like a clinic. He looked around and saw a number of beds and some people laying on them. He tried to get up but felt a surge of pain on the lower part of his body.“Don’t move,” the nurse said. “You got burnt pretty bad.”“Ouch,” he moved regardless and saw his legs all burnt up.“I said don’t move or the burns will be rubbed.”“Where is the boy?”“Oh, the boy you were brought in with?”“Yes.”“He was taken to the city hospital. His burns are severe.”Hunter seemed a little confused, “How long have i been out?”“It’s been three nights now,” the nurse responded and went to tend to another patient.Three nights, he thought. He had never been unconscious for three nights

At Chingwere Level 1 hospital, a patient in a ward kept shouting and screaming at the nurses. It had been three days now since he was brought in. The people who brought him in didn't wait to answer much questions; they just dropped him in and rushed back to where they had come from. The only thing the nurses knew was that he was a prince from a certain village which apparently, the Chief’s house had caught fire. They felt pity for him because he is the sole survivor of the ghastly accident; His whole family had died in the fire outbreak.Two nurses heard the loud screams from the ward. “When will he shut up?” The first nurse asked.“He’s in pains and you could see he is a village boy, he’s probably scared and not used to all these,” the second nurse added.“Huh, it’s now becoming irritating and he still doesn’t want anyone to wash his wounds. How will he get well?”“He got burnt so ba

Early Sunday morning, Ludo woke up and came to her senses as she saw the bedroom she was in. She was at Melanie’s. She remembered what happened the previous day and reached for her phone. She found several missed calls from an unknown number and Lance. She had called her dad before she reached Melanie’s place. She didn’t know how to call Lance and tell him she had messed up. She didn’t want to think about that and got out of bed. She went into the shower and a couple of minutes later, came out and found Melanie on the bed with a tray of breakfast on her side.“What can i do without you?” Ludo reached for the tray. “You’re the only good thing from six years ago.”“I know,” Melanie smiled. “What happened yesterday?”“I’m sorry i didn’t tell you last night. I just wanted to sleep.”“I understand.”“Guess who i met?”“Who?&rdqu

Many, Many years ago in Chisoti village, something atrocious happened that each and every person who had heard or witnessed it never wanted it to be mentioned again.Like each day, 26 year old Chovu returned from the field with his younger brother Mapulanga. They were the closest amongst their siblings. They had two sisters and one older brother who was the next in line to become the chief. The siblings were known to have gotten along with each other perfectly especially when one was in trouble.Chovu and Mapulanga reached their house and found their sisters preparing supper for the whole family. Their elder brother was talking to their old sick father and was not to be disturbed.“They are talking again?” Mapulanga looked at Chovu.“They always talk, these two. I wonder what they talk about huh,” Chovu added.“We know he’s the next in line but we all want the attention too.”Chovu laughed, “Lo

Her heart almost out of place and not knowing what the near future held for her, Ludo walked quickly to the gate that she dropped some files in her hand. She bent down and picked them all up. While standing up, she felt a cold rush of air on her neck, she turned around. She felt like someone was watching her. She tried to look around but there was no one around. She walked into the building, her eyes everywhere. Upon entering, she saw Lance and Caesar’s cars in the parking lot. She cussed herself about what happened on Saturday. She entered and found Lauren on the reception busy typing something on a laptop. Ludo passed her without saying anything and went directly to her office. As soon as she put her handbag on the table, Lance was standing on the door with his hands in the pocket.“Goo … good morning sir,” Ludo stuttered.“Follow me,” Lance turned around.Ludo didn’t know what to touch or carry. She just started off

Trying to think of what had happened in the two villages in two consecutive nights bothered and gave Hunter a terrible headache. He had first thought of Ben and Devi and knowing them, he knew everything was about the land. What if they planned on getting rid of Chief Chovu’s whole family including his daughter in the other village? He asked himself. What was the big deal with the land that they were willing to go to the extent of killing everyone in their way? He knew they worked as contractors but who was behind all the scheme? He remembered what Walutanga’s sister said before dying. She mentioned something about children, did she mean her children? That wasn’t his concern at the moment but Walu was and he had to get to him as soon possible. He didn’t know why but there was some sort of urgency in his heart and through his job in the past, he learned to trust his instinct.The truck he had gotten onto had many problems on the way. They had to stop sev
BLOOD LIVES HERE CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
Hunter shoved a table out of his way and grabbed Devi by his coat and pulled him, smashing him against another patient's bed. Some patients were now awake wondering what was happening. Hunter quickly checked on Walu who was having a hard time breathing but he knew he was going to be fine. As he turned around, a punch landed on his cheek knocking out his molar instantly. This small man had the power of Goliath, Hunter thought as he spat the tooth out. Devi grabbed a table and threw it on Hunter who briskly missed it. The two men stood panting heavily looking at each other. Hunter was bleeding.“So my suspicions were right,” Hunter said and went, “But why Devi?”“You know me?” Devi seemed shocked.“Who wouldn’t know the duo Ben and Devi and the mess they leave when handling things?”Devi laughed, “Are we that careless?”“Always have been.”“May i know who you a

Devi drove into his yard and found Ben’s car parked there. His head felt like it could drop off from the neck. He got out of the car and slowly walked to the front door limping. As soon as he entered the house, he directly went to his little bar in his living room and grabbed a quarter bottle of Jameson and gulped it all the way down his oesophagus. He then put the bottle on the counter and wondered where Ben was. He heard footsteps behind him and turned around, there stood Ben with a weary face.“Damn!” Devi gritted his teeth. “Sometimes you act like this is your house.”Ben didn’t say anything but walked past him and grabbed the same bottle he had drank from and gulped as well. If Devi knew, he would have noticed that Ben was in turmoil.“Why would you need that for?” Devi grabbed the bottle from him.As Devi wanted to take another sip, he heard footsteps coming from the other room and knew there was anoth
