MIKE'S POVđI drive around Mombasa for about thirty minutes, before I finally saw the ice cream parlor she was talking about.I bought her chocolate ice cream and head back to my car, but my eyes caught sight of a pharmacist shop right across the street, itâs still open.I went over and bought the pills that will numb menstrual pain. I enter my car and drove off.I arrived at the penthouse and parked my car in my driveway and hurriedly enter my penthouse.I take long strides to my room, I drop the ice cream and pills on the nightstand.âBabe, I am backâ I turn to Gigi, but she is already fast asleep.I sigh.

GIGI'S POV đI pace back and forth in the living as I wait for Mike to come back home. I tried calling him but his number wasnât reachable.I turn to Milan, he is surprisingly calm, I can tell from his eyes that he was worried too but he doesnât want to show it.I smile. I think this boy is Mikeâs grandfather, he is too smart for his age. Suddenly, the main door burst open and I see Mike rush in.âBabe! Babe! Gigi!ââMike, I am in the living roomâHe rushes to me and start looking at my body all over.âAre you alright?

GIGI'S POV đâCome on, Milan. EatâHe shakes his head and stare at the food.I sigh tiredly. I donât know how to persuade him to eat, we have been sitting like this for the past twenty minutes.âMilan your Mom wouldnât want you to starve yourself because of herââGigi, do you think uncle Mike has seen my mom?â He asked. Worry written all over his face, his eyes dull and red, as if he was holding himself from crying.âOf course!â I smile. âI promise they will be here soon, but until then letâs get something in your stomachâHe nods and pick up his fork. Just then my phone beep. I check it and see a text fromâŚAmanda.I quickly open the conversation. She wants me to come pick her up at the central park, I frown.Why didnât she call meâŚ. Well, it doesnât matter, I should go get her instead of wondering why she didnât call me.But I canât leave Milan all by himself. What should I do now.. Okay, I should call Mike. I dialed Mikeâs number but it doesnât connect. I tried again but itâs stil
MIKE'S POV đWe have entered inside the building and itâs surprisingly quiet, too quiet. There is no one standing guard by the entrance, there is no sign that something bad is going on there.âCarl, are you sure we are at the right place?ââYes, bossââThen why is it so quiet?ââI donât know, maybe they changed locat⌠âCarl was cut off by a loud crash, we turn and see one of our men lying on the ground, a small pool of blood starting to form around him.âFuck! We have underestimated Alonzoâ I said.âBoys stay at alert!â Carl yells.Before we could know whatâs happening, gunshots covered everywhere.âBoss, watch out!â Carl yells, he lunges at me and pushed me away and we both narrowly missed the bullet.âEveryone, fire back!â I yell over the noise.

I didnât say anything, I am just trying to set my hand free.Then I feel someone losing the robe, I turn slowly and see Danteson, he shush me and continue losing the robe. How did he get in? How did he get past Ramosâs brother and his men?Hmm, now I know why he is Mikeâs secret guard.He finishes losing the robe in no time and puts a pistol in my hand.âDonât get up yet, keep pretending as if your hands are still tied upâ he whispers in my ear.I nod and turn to tell him thanks, but I didnât see him anymore, I frown where did he go?.Just then the door burst open and Mike walks in.Ramosâs brother laughs and claps his hands.âWow,! I respect you, I was hoping your wife would come but you came in her steadâ.âAlonzo let go of my sisterâAlonzo?
