Farrell:
“Andrew Waterson, today is your day of reckoning!” I said with a growl as I removed my hat.
When I looked up, I noticed how chaotic the situation was. There was a girl bleeding from her leg. Andrew backed up to the wall like a coward, and there she was—my golden goose. They dressed her in a wedding gown, but she was unhappy. Her face was red and swollen. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and a man clutched her tightly.
“Please help my friend,” she pleaded, reaching out for me, but the man yanked her back.
Then I hazily remembered everything she had said in the club the night before, and I concluded the man was her fiance. I became enraged, and I cocked my gun and shot this man in the chest without hesitation. His blood splattered all over her white gown. I saw her eyes widen, and she gasped for air.
Then I ordered Martin and Perez to take the bleeding girl to the hospital.
“Bruno!” Molly screamed as he crashed to the floor.
She grabbed him and rocked him.
“You... you killed him,” she stuttered as she stared at me.
“He hurt you, and...”
“I never told you to kill him. You’ve killed two people since you arrived; how easy is it for you to take someone’s life?” she said and then she stood up to face me with tears in her eyes.
“I just wanted a normal life, and then I met you, and...” She was saying this and pacing around, so I grabbed her hand and pulled her to me.
“And I killed your captor so that you can be free. I hate ungrateful people!” I said with bared teeth.
“Do you want to know what I do to ungrateful people?” I asked, digging my fingers into her soft skin as I looked into her eyes.
She shook her head and swallowed hard. I then handed her to Benjamin and walked over to Andrew Watterson.
“Andrew, say your last prayer!” I growled as I cocked my gun.
One offense was owing me money, and the other was attempting to steal from me in order to avoid being a debtor. This jerk stole a hundred grams of marijuana from me and couldn’t even make a profit off of it.
“I beg you, please... Please don’t kill me. I’ll get your money before the weekend,” he begged on his knees, his hands trembling.
I scoffed when he did this. He was a liar, and I knew he’d flee the moment I let him go. I’d have to go through the agony of trying to find him again.
“I have no mercy for anyone who disobeys me, and you know there are no second chances, so say you’re the last...”
“Please don’t murder him!” My princess shrieked, and I turned around to face her.
Molly:
Even though I wanted the idiot to die for all the pain he had caused, I pleaded for his life to be spared. Farrell immediately turned around to face me. He had a blank expression on his face that quickly changed to a soft one.
I couldn’t believe he was so ruthless.
Last night, he acted so calm and harmless. Here he was, surrounded by armed men and guns I’d never seen before.
“What business do you have with him, my kitten?” he asked, as he ran his hands on my cheek.
My face flushed and my entire body tingled.
“She is my stepdaughter, and the only surviving relative I have,” my stepfather said.
I rolled my eyes in disgust at the way he put it. He was trying to capitalize on the fact this man clearly had a soft spot for me.
“Stepdaughter, you say?” Farrell asked, a smirk on his face, and then he licked his lips as he surveyed my entire body.
“We could figure something out,” he said as he walked over to Andrew.
“Yes, please,” Andrew said, bowing his head to the ground and extending his hands.
“Let’s see,” Farrell said as he stroked his beard and looked at me. My entire body became weak because of this, and I wondered why he had such an effect on me.
“In exchange for your life, I’ll take her!”
My eyes widened as he blurted out.
“What?” I inquired, my brow furrowed.
“Perfect, my Lord,” Andrew said, still bowing to Farrell.
“Greedy fool,” I muttered through my tears.
“That’s all there is to it. She’s mine, and we’re getting married now. Thank goodness she’s dressed in a wedding gown,” he said, and I burst out laughing.
Then I bit the man’s hand that was holding me tightly and tried to flee when another man grabbed me.
How could I have forgotten they were four, and that two had driven Kate to the hospital?
Farrell approached me and told me to open my mouth, then he pushed his thumb into my mouth and spanked my ass. This made my face flush because I couldn’t believe he was doing this in public.
“If you try to run away from me one more time, I will punish you,” he said as he drew me closer to him.
“Is that clear?” He asked, and I nodded in fear.
He tightened his grip on my hand and dragged me out of the house in my bloody gown. As soon as we stepped outside, a car pulled up, and a priest emerged.
“Lord, please have mercy!” The priest exclaimed. Then he made the sign of the cross and attempted to get into his car.
“Take one step forward, and I’ll shoot!” With his jaw clenched, Farrell said.
What puzzled me was that he wasn’t afraid to take people’s lives. He’d taken down two bodies and was ready to take down more.
“We meet again, Torelli,” he said with a smirk as he approached the priest. The priest consistently made the sign of the cross as he backed up on the body of his car.
“I’ll do whatever you want. My church does not have any drug dealers. I’m here to officiate a wedding!” The priest trembled as he spoke.
Fuck me! I muttered.
I had gotten myself into a lot of trouble. Bruno might have been better off. I mean, he only cheated. Everyone feared this man—he left old men weak on their knees like cry babies, and I was about to marry him.
“Good, the groom has passed away, and I’m taking over from here. So, father, do your thing.” He stretched the word father.
The priest took a deep breath and then pulled out his bible. Farrell’s men were standing behind him with guns, so he skipped right to the vows.
When it was my turn to say “I do,” the priest gave me a look that said, “say yes or we’re fucked.”
“Yes, I do,” I replied as I swallowed hard. Then he asked us to kiss.
Farrell drew me in and kissed me passionately, while the priest dashed into his car and drove away. Farrell tossed me over his shoulder like a rag doll and then walked to his car. He threw me in and sat beside me before the car sped off.
*************
We got to his house in no time. It was big, bigger than Bruno’s, and I would have loved to explore, but Farrell tossed me on his shoulder and took me inside.
He carried me up the stairs to a room. He tossed me in bed and then he sniffed my body like a search dog. I trembled in fear and I wheezed.
“You are a mess,” he said as he kissed my neck, sending chills down my spine.
“The maid will come by to get you prepared for tonight,” he said, and he stood up to leave.
“Prepared for what?” I asked.
“You’ll know when I get back my princess…” he said. Then he shut the door and locked it.
Molly: I sat on the terrace, taking in the breathtaking scenery, from swaying trees to flocks of chirping birds. Everything was lovely, and it gave me a warm feeling in my chest. I reflected on my life five years ago with my eyes closed. I could have sworn I made the wrong decision with Farrell that night, but the opposite has been true. Everything went swimmingly, except for the fact that my mother died without recognizing me. Rest in peace, sweet soul. But I am grateful for that night at the club and whatever made him magically attracted to me. I was still trying to enjoy the moment when Corduroy let out a piercing scream. I blinked open my eyes and sighed heavily. How could I have forgotten the most exciting, yet stressful, part? Being a mother! “Mummy!”Corduroy called out in a shaky voice, forcing me to stand. I walked out onto the terrace and into the penthouse. Corduroy pushed the door open before I could reach for it, and he looked up at me with teary eyes. As he cried, I
This is me releasing a sincere apology for my readers, and I have a good reason for not updating. 1. I have been sick for a while, and this has been due to stress, and pressure. I am a final year student and my course is not an easy one, plus my exams are near. 2. This story has only one chapter remaining actually, and I have been editing it ahead of completion. I'm sorry that I do not have more words to add, because I do not want to drag the story line, but I promise to come up with a new and better story as soon as my exams are over. I would give you all the opportunity to choose your preferred genre, and I will get to work. I love you all for giving my first story this kind of opportunity, and I can never thank you enough. I'm really sorry for my shortcomings. please if you see this, don't forget to comment with your preferred genre. Thank you.
Molly:*Beginning of flashback*"I'm hungry, and my tummy hurts," I said to Andrew who had just gotten back from work. He signed and made his way up the stairs, brushing shoulders with me."Foolish child," he said, and I muttered a "God bless you,"I didn't think he would hear me, but before I could tell, he yanked me by my hair and flung me on the wall."If your mother won't teach you how to behave then I'll do that. It's my duty as your stepfather to teach you how to respect your elders," he said, and I scoffed.He slapped my cheek, and then pushed me down on the ground. After which he kicked me on my stomach. Then he crouched down close to me, and pressed hard on my jaw."Remember, you can't say a word to your mother if you want her to live," he said to me, and left while I stayed on the cold floor in pain, sobbing silently.My mother usually returned late because she ran her business from morning until late at night. She did all this because Andrew couldn't provide adequately for
Molly:At first I was dumbfounded when Farrell said those words. I couldn't believe it was finally going to happen. I felt weird for a moment, and I reached out to him when he turned to leave. I walked in front of him, and held his face then looked him in the eyes."You don't have to do this, and…""I have decided to let go of the past, and that is the only way that this would work," he said. "I love you Molly, and I want us to work," he added, and then he kissed my lips briefly, before taking my hand.As we walked down the hallway that led to the room, my heart thumped very fast. I feared what I would see and at the same time I was curious.I felt an in rush of air which left my body with goosebumps as we came to a halt in front of a door. He took out the keys from his pocket, and unlocked the door. As he opened it, I took in a deep breath, and shut my eyes. Then I walked in, and opened my eyes to see a crisp bedroom.At first I was in awe at what I had seen. My room was nothing comp
Molly:My body trembled in fear as I felt Lola's tiny hands hold mine. I was blind folded so I couldn't see her but I knew that something terrible was going on. She sobbed silently, and I placed her head on my lap."Don't cry, we will be fine," I said to her trying to hush her, but she wouldn't stop."Will mummy die?" She asked, and I felt my heart crumble in multiple pieces.Having to accept that your parents were evil hit different, but then she had to be grateful that Courtney wasn't her real mum. Well she didn't know this yet so it was understandable that she would cry over what was going on."Mummy will be fine, and your uncle will save her," I lied even after I had heard the gunshot, and Courtney who was shrieking in pain.This child was going to suffer a lot of trauma, but I promised myself to take good care of her, because the only place close to home would be Farrell's house, and I wasn't sure he was stable.The door of the room opened after a while, and I heard someone appro
Farrell:When I got a hold of the gun, I smacked Courtney gently on the face and she fell to the ground then I put the gun in my pocket, grabbed Lola and walked towards the room I heard Molly's voice.Before I could get to it, Courtney jumped on my back, and grabbed hard on my neck. Her hands were obviously weak, and watching her struggle would have been funny in a different scenario."Can't you see I'm trying to save you!" She yelled, and I yanked her off my back.I pushed Lola into the room."Farrell," Molly called out from where she sat with blind folds but I didn't respond, I shut the door, and faced Courtney.The fact she kept acting as if I was in danger and needed help from her made me angry. There was definitely no amount of help that she could offer me at this point."Save me from what? You had one job but each time you were around, you only made me feel worse. I can't believe I failed to realise it until now," "Ingrate!" She scoffed, and then she stood up."Do you know how
Farrell:"Courtney what is…" I was about to complete my question when I looked away from Lola to see Courtney holding a gun.I became alarmed at once, and I tapped my pocket to see that my gun was gone. I turned around to see if there was anyone behind, and I realized Courtney was actually pointing the gun at me."Come here, Lola," she said, and then Lola shook her head, holding right on my neck.Deep down I wished I could handle the situation better but then I knew that the only way to think properly was to hand Lola over. Lola screamed in fear asI put down at once. "You'll be fine," I said to her as I pushed her over to Courtney who looked blood thirsty. I couldn't understand what was going on, and I didn't want to get violent yet. This had to be a joke because there was no way she would openly threaten Lola with a gun. She loved Lola so much."This has got to be a joke right?" I asked, Courtney and she laughed briefly then she placed her hand firmly on the trigger."Does it look
Farrell:"Maria!" I screamed, and then I jerked up at once. I looked around to see that I was lying on Maria's bed.The sun had just risen, and I guessed I had slept walk once more but this time it was for a good cause. I stood up from the bed,and walked to her dresser where her combs and everything were still perfectly laid out. I picked one of them, and I found a few strands of her hair on them. "You were really here," I muttered, running my hand on the comb. Suddenly a very gentle breeze swept by, giving me a brief chilly feel that had the hairs on my body standing, and goosebumps sprouting out of my body."Rest in peace, my love," I said with a deep sigh.I felt an inrush of emotions as I did when I met her, but this time I wasn't angry. It felt nice knowing she was in a good place, and all that could have been was terrible so I was grateful that it never happened.They said you couldn't have your cake, and eat it so I took a deep breath, shoving off the emotions that engulfed
Farrell:After so much contemplation, I grabbed the keys to Maria's room. I made up my mind to keep an open mind. I had to heal from this trauma, or else I would pass it over to my innocent kids who were on the way.When I left my room, I noticed how late it was. Molly crossed my mind, and I hope deep down that she could hold on a little longer until I figured myself out. Quietly, I walked through the long hallway that led to her room. I placed my ear on the door opposite which was were the old lady stayed. I heard her giggle to herself as usual, and I turned around to face Maria's door.I walked to the door, inserted the key, and pulled it open. To my greatest surprise he lights were on, and I heard the shower running."What the?" I questioned myself, slamming the door, and rushing to the bathroom to turn off the shower.The thought that Molly just have been here got me annoyed a bit but then I tried to push it away. I had to push off every little hint of anger. I began to convince
