Now that Joe has discovered who he is, his joy was short-lived with immediate effect, 'i am going to be broke soon,' he retorted.
He glared at his room for a while thinking of how pathetic this world could be. He brings out his phone gently to look at his balance, 'ten million dollars,' he retorted with a sad gaze.
He knew the ten million dollars would soon be gone. Everything continued looking like a dream to him, but unfortunately that was his reality.
'How pathetic could this world be?' Joe's memory flashed to the early hours of the day. He remembered how happy he was earlier with the hope of being a millionaire forever.
Joe remembered what happened few minutes back, he couldn't just believe how his eye vibrated, 'so this is what seers go through,' he retorted sadly.
He remembered the flashes he saw, 'it is all over now,' he retorted with an heavy mind. He stared at his bed and fall on it.
After a while, Joe was swept off by an alluring sleep. He couldn't banter with it, he embraced it and get engulfed in it.
The hours of the night pass by gently, as the hours pass by, the closer Joe gets to his vision being fulfilled.
The surrounding cock in the neighbourhood crew on top of their voice. The birds chirp as the sun brightens from the sky.
Joe was still fast asleep and he couldn't just get enough of the sleep. Being engraved in his sleepy posture, the brightness of the day hits his face sharply.
Joe couldn't hold it within, 'ooooo….' Joe murmured and reluctantly raise his head from his little bed. He opened his eye gently to behold the brightness of the day.
He yawned heavily and have to stand from his bed. As soon as he stand up, what he had seen earlier hit his core.
He felt like going back to sleep immediately, but he controlled himself and mustered some courage to face the day.
No one would have seen what Joe saw and still go to work. He saw that the truck that was given to him was stolen and the money he made…..
Joe walked gently into the bathroom to have a shower, his mind couldn't just get past what he saw, but what will he do? He can't just tuck his head in his shirt. He has to face the reality of what is coming.
After washing his body, he walked out of the bathroom gently and liaised some cream on his body thoroughly.
After he had properly liaised the cream, he picked a shirt for himself. In no time, he dashed out of his house just like he would do on a normal day.
After he had walked the distance he should, he got to his store, but something terrible has happened. The truck he parked there yesterday was no longer there according to his vision.
He stared at the position he had placed the truck for a very long time, his countenance fell, he shook his head and walked into the store.
On entering the store, Joe lost his balance and he almost fall to the ground. He grabbed an object near to him to balance himself.
'Hmm,' he sighed heavily. After staying in the store for some hours, no body came buy to
buy a single thing from him.He didn't have a sale at all for the day just as he had seen in his vision. He tucked his head in his shirt and envisaged for a better day.
After a while, a white car stopped in front of his store just as he had seen in his vision, but this time, Joe didn't pay attention to the car.
He is buried within the situation he found himself.
"Hey there!" An audible voice pierced through Joe's ear.
Joe jumped up from where he is seated and tried running off.
"Stop there," a guy emptied with a gun pointed at Joe.
Joe is scared to death, because that's the same thing he saw in his vision. He glared at the guys.The guys weren't that hefty, but they had a gun. Joe is in a very tight spot at the moment. Joe prayed for a miracle in the instant.
"Where is your phone!" One of the guys fired at him.
Joe shook, even to his bone marrow, 'this is it,' he said, stretching his hand to give them.
"Don't be foolish boy!" One of them said and lashed his head with his hand lightly, "open it!" He ordered firmly as he changed his countenance.
"Ye… ye… yes sir," he said. He couldn't sound straight anymore, his voice kept trembling with fear rustling all over him.
Joe quickly draw the pattern on his phone and unlocked it. The phone was trembling on his hand.
"I have unlocked it sir," he said with fear all over his voice.
"Good boy, now open your bank app and transfer all the money you have in there. Don't try to play smart!" one the boys said with a calm voice. He pointed the gun at him immediately and removed it's safety.
Joe gulped some saliva, he knew his life is at stake at this point. To save his life, he transferred all the money he had to them.
As soon as he finished the transfer, "bow your head to the ground," one of the guys fired at him.
Joe bowed his head to the ground trembling terribly. The boys dashed into the car and drove off.
'it is done,' Joe retorted. He didn't know if he shout shout or cry. Mixed feelings kept him trapped.
He couldn't say a word out of his lips, all he could do is just to sigh.
He stand from where he laid and close the door to his store. He walked home directly and laid on his bed, reminiscing what had just happened to him.
After a while, Joe felt a wave on his eye. His inner eyes were opened immediately and he began to see some flashes.
This time, Joe saw his ex fall to the ground and died at the spot.
Joe couldn't believe what he saw, he brought out his phone and checked the date he saw in his vision, 'it's Emily's birthday' he retorted while his phone trembled in his hand.
Joe's eye widened with shock. He couldn't just resonate everything at once. His head spanned through everything he had seen earlier.He spanked his head hoping he would snap out of it all, but he couldn't. 'Why am I a seer? Why!' he muttered severally.'Joe… calm down,' he retorted and sighed heavily, calming his nerves. As soon as his nerves were calmed, Joe remembered what he saw just now.'I musn't stand by and let this happen,' Joe retorted out of the love he still had for Emily even after what she did to him that day.After he had said that, it was as if Joe just got his senses back, 'what has come over me? Why would I be this concerned about her. Let her die if she has to, anyways she is not worth my pity,' he retorted. Joe couldn't forget what she did to him that day, he felt embarrassed and humiliated.Joe made up his mind not to interfere. He laid on his bed to sleep, but sleep wouldn't come.All that was on his mind is Emily, he couldn't stand not helping her out, anyways
Chapter SixEarlierEmily's POVThe atmosphere is booming due to the music playing.After gazing around the lit of the beautiful atmosphere, I can't but gush with my jaw dropped over this beautiful place. "I love it here, Luther."He looked at me and smiled. Staring right into my face he said, "I know you would love it here… that's why I brought you here in the first place."I couldn't hold that excitement that was within me. "You think you know my taste?" I had to ask, because I don't how he come to know this much about it.With smiles on his face, "common…. You know I have my eyes all over you," Luther quickly points it out to me so that it would be clear.I scoff gently, "don't let too many ideas get into your skull… you know I have a boyfriend…." I had to remind him.My eyes was fixed on him after I mentioned that. He felt disgusted and tired of me."Tell me, Emily…. Who on earth dates poverty?"

Chapter Seven ~Emily's POV "Emily, are you with me?" That is the question he put to my face. "I am not with you Joe, you have to change your dress sense." 'Damn! I am so irritated,' that word went down my gut. All I wanted is for him to dress like a normal haman. "Look at me Emily," turning himself around, "this dress on my body is damn… I mean fucking damn okay," he said. Those words hit my ear and I felt like puking immediately, "WTF!" I couldn't stop myself from uttering that vulgar word. "What?" That's the question Joe put to my face. He is not getting my point at all and I am so pissed off. "Come on Joe, why are you like this?" I asked. "Like what, Emily. As far as I am concerned, this dressing is okay," he said. Right now, I am so frustrated. "You know what…Joe, get out of my room right now," I said pointing at the door. "Those words are harsh," Joe rolled those words down his tongue. That word he just uttered is damn irritating. "Do I look like I care?" I tend thos
Chapter Eight "Hello, good day.""Good day… how may I help you?" I said to the recipient."I am really sorry. I know you have been ignoring my calls, because you are upset. I am sorry," the recipient apologized.I let out a loud sigh getting frustrated with the way he is pleading. "You know what, I will call you back," I had to let that known to him. He is giving me headaches. All I need is just a time off. I hang the call immediately."Why are you all worked up with this gentle man?" My dad said.'I don't want us to discuss this right now,' that thought has to remain in my heart. "I am not really worked up. All I need is just a space," I said politely.My dad sighed aloud. I wonder why he gave an audible sigh, but I didn't let that get into my head.Focusing on my food, I eat some more fragments then decides to head to my room."I kinda want to rest my head," I said when I saw my parents gaze was all over me."I thought you were actually going out earlier.""Yes… but now, I don't f
Chapter nineMy eyes widened with shock. I couldn't just believe what I am seeing. "Mother.." I call out.She didn't give an instant reply, so I had to call again, "Mother." This time I made my scream so loud.Quickly my mother rush out of her hole."Why are you screaming the hell out of my name?" She asked."Mother… I don't understand…. My car's tire is less," I said with an agitated countenance."Wait… you called me, because your tire is less?" She asked."Yes, mother…. I can't just believe my eyes," I replied."You are just a spoilt brat," my mother said and walks back in without bothering herself."Why did mother have to be so mean like that?' I retorted with frustration. At the moment, I don't know what to do.I walk up to the car to give it a proper check. 'Damn! What do I do?' that question in my heart couldn't just get a suitable answer.'Today is not good!' my heart let out a scream that almost got to my head. It was just like a fuse. Thinking profusely, an idea strike my mi
Joe's POVAfter Emily dropped me off at my workshop, I went in and met a man waiting for me with his car.He called me "hey you." I went closer to him and he asked me to change the tires of his car. I thought he was going to drop the car and leave but he sat down and waited. I sighed inwardly and started to work on the car the moment I touched the car I saw something, I saw the man sitting inside his car and driving along a bridge when he suddenly fell off.I immediately removed my hands from the car, I couldn't believe what I just saw. I looked at the man who was looking at me as if I was mad. He asked worriedly "Are you alright?" "Yes am fine."I replied. "Can you come back tomorrow and collect the car, I have something urgent to attend to right now am really sorry." I lied, surprisingly the man agreed and left.I suddenly heard a voice behind me "you didn't have to lie you know.""Who are you?" I asked a little bit scared."Hey, no need to be scared, I know you are a seer. But do
They appeared at a forest, Joe detached himself from the man and looked around."Are you planning to kill me?" Joe asked."Maybe." The man replied apparently searching for something or someone."Are you waiting for someone?" Joe asked again."Yeah, am waiting for the guys who are going to help me train you." The man replied."Wait, how long is this training gonna take?" "It depends on how fast you are able to use your abilities to it's full potentials, but since you have never used your powers before it should take about two to three years and within those periods you are going to stay in this forest." The man replied."What's the name of this forest?""The Amazon forest.""Wait, so you brought me all the way from the US to a damn forest in Brazil.""No one over there cares about you so no one will worry about your whereabouts." The man's words were hurtful but true, he sighed and followed the man through the thick forest, even if he dies here like the man said no one will care.The
