The sound of her feet pondering against the floor, resonates around the vicinity as she runs as hard as her feet could carry her.She clearly had no idea of where she was running to. The sense of direction depends on Which direction the wind blew her.Terror filled her body as she felt them getting closer to her, and she carries her leg as fast as she could.She knew if anything happens to her right now, she can't go back and save her babies, they will probably be taken into slavery, and she can't allow that to happen.The thought of her octuplets occupied her head, and she wills herself to run faster than earlier.As she increased her speed, a sharp object was ahead of her, when she got to the spot, it lacerated her feet, and she fell to the ground.She cried out in pain, and tried to get up the floor, but fell back. She looked to the direction to see the men in masks still coming after her.She tried to get up the floor, but fell back again. Just then, before she could register what
Three days later.On a Wednesday afternoon, Naefah and her sisters sat quietly waiting for Alley or Matilda to come pick them up from school. They were not thrilled because Matilda didn't fulfill her promise to them.They have not been privilege to talk to their mum for the past five days. Matilda keeps making her promise to them, but none has been fulfilled, and it's pass five days already.Charlotte was getting discharged today from the hospital, they heard about it, and pleaded to stay back at home to make something nice for her, but Matilda declined and asked them to go to school. They couldn't convince her, that was why they came to school.Mariyah suggested one of them should feign being sick, but Zarah objected. They have done that several times just to stay back home and send detective Scott their discoveries on the murder case.As they sat down with long faces, Mariyah sighted her uncle James, and her face lit up. She knew he was probably going to the ICT room."Girls, I think
Xavier and his father were seated, alongside veronica's lawyer in the Interrogation room, waiting for the cops to bring in the reporter, and Veronica for questioning.The reporter has gotten beaten countless times, but he keeps denying he doesn't have an accomplice, everything he did was for himself, he needed money, which Mr Xi did not buy his lies.Multiple Investigations have been carried out on his family members, but no one has been located, not even he's wife.Xavier urged his father to stay back home and have enough rest, but because he was being stubborn, he didn't listen. Mr Xi had something he wanted to confirm, that was why he refused to listen to his son.Xavier was busy on his phone, when he heard his father's voice. "Have you gone to see her? How is she feeling?"He lifted his head up, and turned to his father. "No father, I haven't, I want her to have enough rest. I wouldn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.""She's carrying my Grand child, you need to be there for he
A cab came to a halt, and Arya stepped down from the car. She paid off the cab driver, and turned to her house direction.As she marched to the entrance, she lurches when she saw a few of her thing's outside, not sure, they were her belongings.She carried her legs, and ran to the entrance of the house, checking the stuff to confirm they were hers.Arya quickly fell to the ground to plead with the house owner."Please, you can't do this to me, I promised to pay. Do not send me away, I don't have anywhere to go." Arya pleaded, seeing her things been thrown out.But the old man didn't pay a listening ear, he continued bringing out her clothes."You will no longer stay here, you can't be a burden to me, take your stuff and leave this vicinity.""Please, you can't send me away, you can't break your promise. Okay, if it pleases you, let me pay, I will pay for my stay, rent the studio to me."The first time she came to him for help, she narrated lies to him, which made him take pity on her,
The Divisional police officer (DPO) stride to Scott's office holding some documents. He sighted Scott on his way out, and halt when they came closer to each other."Good day Boss." Scott greeted, and helped him with the documents he was holding."Are you heading somewhere?" He asked."No, I just wanted to drop this with the team. But I will do that later, please come inside." Scott responded, leading the way back to his office. He has not had enough rest since he came to the office. He left for the address the reporter gave to him to carry out some investigation."How did your investigation go? Were you able to get the information?" He asked, taking a sit opposite Scott."Boss, things are getting more complicated. And I don't think Veronica herself is safe. The journalist she's dating is not completely innocent." Scott replied, his tone sounded exhausting."Complicated?" He asked with knitted brows, and continued. "What do you mean? What did you find out?""The person we're looking f
Ladies couldn't take their eyes off him, they were unable to stop staring at him, seeing him dressed in a black leather jacket with a jeans, which accentuated his well-built structure.The sight of him alone makes them go crazy about him, it makes ladies want to have them all to themselves and wouldn't mind having him for the whole night.But just like always, he doesn't care about them, he has no interest in a woman, and he has never found anyone attractive. Not until lately, a woman is occupying his thoughts, he is always thinking about her.A day has never passed without the thought of her, and how he could make her cajoled to his quest. He buried his left her in his pocket pant, while the other rested on his side, as he strode up to the welcoming area to pick up his best friend.Alex waved at him, immediately he saw him, and Xavier marched up to him."Why are you late? You kept me waiting up for you. If you were that busy, you should have kindly let me know, I would have called m
Charlotte has gotten much better, and resumed back to her workplace. She has load of work to attend to, before the end of today.The days she has missed, choked up a lot of work from filing documents, sending out mails, creating records and more.Xavier was kind enough to make Evelyn take a part from some of her work, even though she still acts like the manager.The sound of her phone chirped, and it made her halt from working. She picked it up to check, it was time for the company's meeting.She was informed that all departments, ranking from engineering, accounting, administration, and marketing/sales will be having a meeting with the president.Charlotte picked up her notes, and pen, before leaving her office. She got to the podium meeting hall room to find most employees already seated.She slowly marched her way up to an empty seat, and made herself comfortable, ignoring the crowds staring at her. Everyone knows what happened to her.Ever since she was employed, she has always be
Xavier stood up, and stride after her. He was not sure if she's scared of the dark, or perhaps something was wrong with her.He waited in her office, until she returned and met him on her waiting couch. He stood up with his hands in his pocket, striding closer to her."What was that all about? Do you still feel sick?" He asked, and lifted his hands to feel her temperature, but she moved before his hands could get to her face."I'm okay. I got scared when the lights went off, that was all. I'm not sick." She responded, shivering in fear."Why are you shivering? You said you're not sick, why are your hands shivering?" He asked, and waited for her reply, but she never uttered a word.He felt soft hands wrap around his waist. The cologne was enough for him to know who the figure was."We're in an office environment, let go of me." He said, calmly, but she didn't budge.He tried to unwrap her hands from his waist, but she held him tightly, with her head resting on his back.Charlotte lifte
