๋ก๊ทธ์ธ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผSurvival is not the absence of scarsBut the proof that love still wins.๐ผ๐ผ๐ผ๐ผASHER'S POVMy heart never stopped racing from the moment we left the compound till the very second I pushed open that rusty iron door.It hadn't been smooth. Nothing about that night was smooth.The compound was crawling with guards, most of them high on drugs and rage. From the moment Trey's uncle's men spotted movement outside, chaos erupted. Sirens wailed in the distance, the sound of police vans cutting through the heavy night. Gunshots cracked in the air, sharp and angry, mixing with the shouts of men scrambling to defend their operation."Move! Move na!" That was when Zubby gave the signal, and the police burst in through the gates."New catch, Uncle!" Trey shouted, playing his role. His voice rang out above the noise, sharp and convincing. Guards turned their attention to Zeenat, circling her like vultures-some laughing, some questioning. That was the distraction we needed."Take her in!
โWe used to be so in love, what happened?โ Crystalโs mom asked quietly as soon as she got into the room where Mr Peter was kept.She said she wanted to see him for herself. She begged Asher to let her meet him before he was handed over to the police. We let her come today.Peter choked slightly and managed to speak, โYou cheated on meโ . His voice was hoarse and he spoke like he didn't care about the outcome.โI never cheated on youโ Tears brimmed in her eyes, as she bit her lower lips to avoid breaking down.โCarolynn please......โ He still had the effrontery to roll his injured eyesโSo you decided to take out your anger on my daughter?โ She interrupted, her voice was trembling with too much rage and emotions.โSeeing her face everyday just reminded me of us. Of you.โ he responded โAnd then you had it disfigured?โ She inhaled for seconds and shook her head. Like she has failed as a mom to protect her child.โYesโ He spit out blood and smiled menacingly, unapologetic.โYou are just
๐๐๐๐Sadness isn't fun, but it is comfortable. ๐Happiness is fleeting and unstable๐๐๐๐DAVID'S POVCrystal has been in a coma for days now. I donโt know how long itโll take for her to wake up, but every second feels like a year. Watching her lie there, unmoving, with machines doing what her body canโt, gnaws at my sanity. Every beep of the monitor gives me hope and despair in equal measure. I pray every dayโscratch thatโI beg for her to wake up. But right now, thereโs something more pressing. Justice. Justice for Crystal.And that justice starts with Mr. Peter. Thatโs why Iโm here, hauling Mr. Peter's unconscious body into the back of my SUV.The drive to Asher's kill house is silent, tense. Mr. Peter is inert at the back seat, his hands and feet bound tightly with duct tape. Iโve gagged him tooโcanโt have him yelling and attracting attention. The manโs stocky frame made it hard to carry him, but I managed, dragging him into the decrepit building that Asher
DAVID-----It was more than twenty minutes and she hadn't shown up yet. I was growing impatient and I took a turn to go get her"Guy, we'll be late for the investments collaboration meeting. Your dad will definitely get mad at you!" Austin tried to hold the steering wheel but I shoved his hand away"Yeahh, but he's not gonna kill me....." I replied"How about you call her instead??" Zubby asked"I'm driving.....""Don't worry, I'll call her!" Asher said and dialed her number on his phone.It rang twice and she didn't pick up. Something wasn't right, I just had that feeling"Let's go get her!" Asher said and I increased the speed of the car.Finally, I stopped and parked in front of the house as the guys came down. I saw Mr Peter coming out in a haste and I opened the car again"Asher! Call an ambulance!" I ordered and they were confused with what I was about to doI didn't want to know what happened inside that house, I just took the gun from the back seat and shot the damn motherfuck
๐๐๐๐And when nobody wakes you up in the mornings....And when nobody waits for you at nights....๐๐๐๐๐CRYSTAL'S POVโ"You have a commercial photoshoot in the next two hours, do you really think you should go there?" David asked as I wasn't about to enter the car"Well, there are some things I'd like to keep as memories from there. I won't waste time......trust me" I said"I'll drive you there.....""No need, you boys said you needed to prepare for some stuff early today. I can go there myself then rush back to you once I'm done" I tried to convince him that I could go alone and since Mr Peter has been out of the country for months, it was okay to go there "Bolt riding there is fast....." Austin said with plantain chips in his handHow did that even get there??"Okay fine.....if you aren't back in twenty minutes, I'll inform the whole army" David said and pecked my forehead"Stop being so dramatic" I laughed and turned to go away, he pulled me by my left arm and stared inte
