*Knox*

I follow behind Tessa as she approaches the building. It's quite larger than I expected, I must say, but I wonder why they find joy in hosting something like this.

Guys and girls troop in and out of the house with red cups in their hands. I have to be sure Tessa isn't planning to get drunk.

“Knox, please, can you stay here a bit while I go inside. If Wes sees you, he'd be mad and I don't want him to be. Please.” Tessa insists just as we get closer to the door.

“You know that's not possible. I have to keep a close eye on you, and that boy has proved so many times that he's not someone I can trust you with.”

She wears a sad look on her face. I wasn't thinking of buying into any of her looks anyway. I already made up my mind that I was going in with her, and there was no other reason why I'm here if not to follow her everywhere and ensure she's within my sight at all times.

She stands, tilting her head to the side like she wouldn't go in with me.

    *Tessa*I wonder how Marcus knows that Knox has involved the police.Knox walks over to the table and helps himself to a seat next to where we stand before Marcus even offers him a seat.Then Knox offers Marcus a seat.Marcus looks around like he's mad, but he still wants to hold it together because of the people around.Marcus paces around a little before he finally gives in to sitting down.“I brought you here to talk. Don't think you have me under your fingers, young boy.” Marcus says to Knox.I sit next to Knox and use my hands to rub his thigh. I know they both are time bombs waiting to explode.“So you have my secrets with you, and I heard you're the one they are waiting for to finalise the release.” Marcus huffs out a scoff. “You take my sister, the most precious thing I have, and you want to take my whole life too? You are equally a loser. It's losers like you that love to bring down winners like me.”“I'm not here to flatter you with everything I have against you that surely

    *Tessa*It's been four weeks now since I've last seen Marcus or heard from him.All I know is that he's gone into hiding since the day the news carried it that Wes died in the camp and the reasons behind his death.I wish the news didn't put him on display like that or even talk about the reasons for his death.Knox is now seen as the hero who endured so much hardship to declare the truth.“Babe, are you sure you really want to go for this party?” I ask Knox if I can help him to adjust his tie.Marcus had sent us an invitation letter to a closed party. He said he wants to close up issues with Knox in the letter and clarify things concerning Knox and me.Because we've opened up publicly that we are now in a relationship.I know Marcus is never in support of us being together, and he will never like Knox. Knox has other plans to release the last information that will crash Marcus totally and even remove him from the army. "I don't know how tonight is going to go down, honestly. I fea

    *Tessa*Wes shot himself in the head.A tragedy to behold as Sophie holds him in her hands, crying profusely. “Why? Why did you do this, Wes! Why?” She cries out.I feel a part of my heart shake as I watch Sophie crying. It's not just about the tragic moment but the genuine love that Wes showed to me before he started getting obsessive about me.A part of me feels like I'm the reason why this is the outcome of Wes's life, and a part of me strongly doesn't want to accept that that's the truth behind Wes's behaviour.I leave it to you to decide.We put Knox into the helicopter. Leaving Knox with Marin, I walk back to meet Sophie as she stays willing while holding Wes's dead body. I hug her from behind. I did not have the words to say. I didn't even know if I said anything what it might do. I don't think it will be able to help how she feels, and I don't want to interfere with her last moment with her brother. If I had known this is what the outcome would be, I would never have allo

    *Tessa*I walk in on Kara acting like she's all about helping Knox, when I know for a fact that she's all lies and she's just trying to get into Knox's mind, so when he gets out of here, she will hold on to him.“You don't love anyone but yourself, and it's such a shame to see.” I say with all audacity and boldness.Wes looks so surprised to see me, and I love the look on his face.The uncertainty.He tried to kill me, and I will never forget how he glared at me when I begged him for my life. Wes must have thought I wouldn't remember a thing with the drugs they gave me. I honestly don't know how I'm able to remember everything. “You all are going to pay for the crimes you've committed. Your greed and desperation speak loudly for themselves. You're yet to unfold what's coming for you. You think you're the devil's workshop. Wait till you see the angels of God in action.”I walk over to meet Knox. He looks so weak and tired, but I know behind the failing body is a man who has stayed s

    *Knox*I didn't have the strength to do anything again. Strength already existed in my body while I was flogged to give energy to everyone else. “James!” Math calls out to him. I know James is a very active person, and even if he has done wrong, I'm sure he should be aware that I would understand, and I'm not totally mad at him.“James, why are you not responding?” Math walks over to him as he sits at the other side of the corner of the room, bowing his head like he's asleep. Math uses the stick in his hand to push James's head, trying to get his attention. As Math raises James's head, he sees that James has been stabbed with two forks and a knife. He was murdered.The murder is so strategic that the bleeding doesn't even flow out of his body, but he surely has bled inside his body. The weakness I feel did not allow me to be able to stand up to him.Math tells the soldiers with him to report the case and check for who killed him.Marcus looks at me and shakes his head. I know w

    *Knox*“I knew you were up to no good. You're less of a soldier, and you do not have the mind or capacity to work with Marcus. Look at what you're doing? Giving food to criminals?” Wes barges into the cell and kicks the food from in front of me.James is done with his, but Wes still assumes he brought the food for him too.Someone must have snitched that they saw Mathew carrying two meals for us.“Aren't you supposed to be giving him strokes of cane?” Wes stands in Mathew's face, and I see Mathew make a fist as Wes, who doesn't have as much rank or experience as he does, speaks to him rudely because Marcus gave him a higher position too soon.Wes walks out of the cell with so much tension.I didn't know what he went out for, but I know he isn't done with whatever he has to say.He walks back into the cell with four fat canes, tied together with bamboo wraps, which he forces into Mathews' hands.“Take! Start doing what you've been ordered to do!” Wes snaps at Mathew.Mathew doesn't see
