“Let go of me, Sunny.” Kedade sneered and swatted Sunny’s hand away. “Have you finally lost your mind?”
“My mind is exactly where it should be, Kedade.” Sunny retorted. Kedade’s faced closed up making sunny assume that she understood what was going on but Kedade was still clueless.
“Enough Sunny.” She remarked with irritation. “I do not have time for you.”
Sunny smiled but she did not say a word. Kedade looked at Sunny for the last time and turned, taking a few steps forward. Suddenly, she stopped and turned back to Sunny with gleam of understanding on her face. Sunny gave her a mischievous smirk. She had expected this reaction from Kedade.
“What now?” sunny jeered. “Did you lose something?”
“Sunny. Have you perhaps regained your memory?” Kedade asked curiously.
“What if I have? Will you tell Dario about it?” Sunny ta
Chapter Twenty-NineSunny woke up in the middle of the night and looked at Pavel. He was fast asleep; his hand clutching her dearly. She slid her hand under her pillow and took out a dagger she had been hiding there and turned to stab Pavel in the heart but her hand froze when she was just a few inches away from piercing the blade into his heart.“Patience, Gabriella. Patience.” Sunny thought to herself and hid the dagger away. Just then Pavel woke up from his sleep and took suspicious glances at her.“Why are you still awake?” Pavel asked.“I am unable to sleep, you see.” Sunny answered smilingly. She raised her hand to his head and stroked his hair charmingly.“Why not?” Pavel asked.“I was thinking about us.” Sunny blatantly lied to him.“And our baby too, right?” Pavel softened.“Yes. I was thinking of the names of the baby.&
Sunny sneaked into Kedade’s room and found Kedade and Lusha waiting for her. She regarded them with a greeting and sat down on the bed, looking at them with wonder. Kedade poured some water into a glass and gave it to Sunny who smiled thankfully and took a sip from it, tongue first.“Apologies. I always taste my drinks for poison. It’s a habit.” Sunny said as she lowered the glass.“I still have questions to ask you. I wrote them down so that I would not forget anything.” Kedade said.“You can preserve the questions for another meeting. I am the one asking questions today.” Sunny said and crossed her legs, taking pride in herself. This was the real her; fearless, agile, lethal and full of prowess. Kedade nodded and silently waited for Sunny to ask her questions.“Kedade. Do you remember who brought you here after you were taken from the hospital?” Sunny finally asked.“No. I ju
“I love Kedade, sunny. I will not stop you if you want to report me to Dario.” Saga went on confessing his love for Kedade. The latter shivered nervously. The consequences for this confession would be dire if Pavel heard about it. Sunny smirked, walked up to Kedade and hugged her. Saga smiled, feeling relieved that his secret was safe. Kedade also chirped and wrapped her arms around Sunny tightly. “Thank you, Sunny.” she said. “Don’t thank me, Kedade. You are free to love whomever you want.” Sunny told her. “it is not fair that you have to live your lives like this.” “Tell that to Dario.” Kedade remarked nervously. “Relax. Your secret is safe with me. I hope Lusha here is also trustworthy.” Sunny commented. Lusha nodded with approval before she went to Kedade’s drawer and slipped out the paper where she had written her story of captivity. She returned to Sunny and handed it over to her. “Thank you, Lusha. I will read it.” Sunny remarked and tu
Sunny gnashed her teeth, pining for revenge. Her hand was carefully hidden behind her, folded into a tiger’s claw and ready to pounce on Buxton if he dared move any closer and he did. Sunny gnashed her teeth again. This time, her hand already moved from her back ready to plunge an ruthless attack on Buxton but someone’s voice restrained her. She withdrew her hand and composed herself but Buxton was still left in shock “That move.” His inner voice pondered in staggering recoil. “Father.” Sunny turned to Lorenzo; the man who had saved Buxton from an instant death. “What you ding to her?” Lorenzo asked his men hypocritically. “Do you know what will happen to you if Pavel finds out about this?” “I won’t tell him.” Sunny retorted. “But I need to know why you have instructed your men to capture me wherever they meet me. Am I a slave? Am I not supposed to be your son’s lady or perhaps it is just a charade you pulled off to soften his heart toward
Chapter Thirty-ThreeStill in shock about what Sunny had told him, O’Neil hesitated to give an answer. His life was on the line either way but his death would be terrible if he was caught as a traitor of the syndicate. So he chose to side with Pavel instead.“I cannot do what you are asking me to do.”“You said you would do anything to save your life.”“You have punished me in a corner, my lady. Either way I am a dead man.” O’Neil replied.“In that case, you leave no choice.” Sunny said and clapped her hands. Kedade and Lusha crept out of hiding and joined them. O’Neil was shocked to see Kedade holding a phone in her hand.“That is not allowed here.”“I borrowed it from Pavel.” Sunny said as Kedade handed it over to her. “I told him that you were misbehaving with me and he asked for proof. So I just got it a few minutes ago
Lusha led Sunny and the three men to the hallway that led to the dungeon. She had seen Saga and his men use this way to leave and come back into the brothel at one time.“This means they really came this way.” Cube blurted out.“Don’t be so sure.” Sunny jeered in order to get them talking even more.“Cube is telling the truth, my lady.” Buxton confirmed. “The dungeon has a secret passage. It leads to the river. There is a footpath that leads to the main road in the woods.”“In that case, we should go back and inform dad immediately.” Sunny said and turned back with Lusha. The three men remained standing until Sunny looked back.“Are you not coming?”“Shouldn’t we go after them?” Buxton asked.“Just the three of you?” Sunny gave them a quizzical. “You need reinforcement, Buxton. Don’t like act like you can do everythi
Lance sprang up, closed the distance between and Kedade and swept her off the floor, swaying her in the air as he gazed into her weary eyes. “Kedade!” Lance chirped. “You are alive.” “Yes, brother. I thought I’d never see you again.” Kedade said as he placed her back on the floor. “You don’t know how much I missed you.” Lance said, looking at Kedade with love. Kedade hugged her brother and wept solemnly. “Brother!” She snuffled. “They told me you were dead. Do you remember what happened to you back then?” Lance said. “I don’t what happened brother. I just found myself at the brothel.” Kedade remarked. “I have to go back to the general hospital for inquiry. They must explain to me how this happened.” Lance said and turned to Evans, embracing him heartily. “You are the best, Evans.” “Only doing my job, boss.” Evans was smiling triumphantly. “You work for NBCI, Evans. I though O’Neil was your friend.”
During breakfast, everyone ate quietly as the awkwardness between Kedade, John and Saga increased. Lance noticed this and tried to lighten up everyone’s moods. “Kedade, Saga. You two will be placed under witness protection. Some police officers will come here as soon as we leave. They will be your bodyguards until the operation is over.” he said. “Yes, brother.” Kedade said and chortled. “Thank you, Agent Lance.” Saga chipped in. “Lance is fine.” Lance said and patted Saga’s back. “Be rest assured that we will catch the people that subjected you to this pain, Kedade.” John added. Saga glared hard making Lance chortle. “In the meantime, John and I will start the preparation for an attack on Dario Pavel and O’Neil Williams.” Lance indicated. “I am glad to be home.” Kedade said and squeezed her brother’s hand affectionately. After breakfast, Kedade followed John to the terrace. She had to talk to him whether she
