VOIDShe scoffed. "What makes you think she's a threat?""Your desperation says it all. If you were only trying to get her killed because you hate her and can't forgive something she did in the past, you'd be trying to commit the murder yourself. You'd want her to see the face of her killer and get reminded that you finally had your pound of flesh. But despite how evil you are, you can't even stare at her face while she dies. You want someone else to get it done for you, plus, you want it done as soon as possible. She's definitely a threat, Mina."Her eyes held no confidence. So, I was right. But why would Jerah be a threat?"Look, I don't care what you think, okay?" She leaned forward. "Jerah needs to stay dead. Now, I'll be upfront with you. It'll be better she stays dead, 'cause the moment my father learns the truth, her life is never gonna remain the same, despite how badly she'd want it. She'd have to get those holy hands of hers really dirty. Her body
JERAHI tried to go further away from him, but there was nowhere else I could as my back had come in contact with the wall.He had a sinister look on his face as he approached me, looking like he wanted nothing more than to eat me up."Please..." I breathed heavily. "I.... I don't want any trouble.""Yeah. Unfortunately, trouble found you."He got to where I was and grabbed my hand."No! Let me go!" I screamed sf the top of my voice.He pulled me away from the window and didn't stop dragging me until he had me on the bed."Keep it quiet, pumpkin. We could have a lot of fun," he giggled.My heart raced in my chest. I crawled into the bed and tried going away, but he grabbed my legs and pulled me towards him"Stop it! Stop it!" I kicked at him.He laid me lie flat on my back, then crawled up to lie over me and pinned my hands above my head."I love violent girls, trust me. But you do not get to be violent with me." He sniggered and claimed my lips.My eyes widen
VOIDI drove into the gang house - a multi-million naira mansion. For over a decade, I haven't been here. And seeing it now was almost driving me insane.The compound was filled with tons of men and ladies, moving about sheepishly. All the men were armed, while some of the ladies were half-naked.I stopped my car carelessly in the middle of the compound. I'd be dammed if gave them any bit of orderliness. Even before I left the car, their eyes were already on me. My glass was tinted. So, they couldn't see who was in without me revealing myself.I grudgingly exited the car, showing my fucking faces to them. A lot of them gasped, especially the bitches who had a mix of fear and desire instantly.Only a very few people knew I was my father's son. I had created my name and reputation independently and as a nobody. I didn't keep any friends. Didn't even have any growing up. So, it was pretty easy hiding my true family from the world outside. Moreover, I had cut
VOID"I need you to save my empire," he said at last. "As you can see, my health is no good. The doctor said it'd be impossible to get out of this one. So, I need you to be my strength, because a major war is coming."His words got me confused. A major war?"Seriously? You have a son and hundreds of men. Yet, you think you need me?""Lets not play dumb, Void. You're worth more than a hundred men, and I'm certain your level of thinking is what I need right now for what's coming."I cocked my head to see Blade who was standing behind. I smirked "Your second son is cool with these complements, huh?""Blade will be working with you. But it's important you're here.""Well, I won't. I didn't act like I didn't have a family for over a decade just to get back here to do your dirty job. I want nothing to do with you, old man..." I glanced at Blade. "...or him.""I know how much you..." His words were interrupted by him coughing.Blade went over and helped him with a g
JERAHI had seen my look-alike again. My sister. I had been in my room, playing with the only toy I had when she came in and insisted I go out with her. I didn't want to, but as usual, she always had a way of forcing me.I followed her out of the house, and for a long time, we walked?"Where are we going, Mina? My legs hurt," I began to gripe."Just shut up and walk, Isobel. This is the reason father sees you as too weak," she taunted.My eyes were almost rimmed with tears. I hated everytime they called me weak. Unfortunately, I didn't have the balls to prove them wrong.She finally stopped walking when we got to a cliff. It didn't sit well with me that we were in front of a cliff."Why are we here?" I asked worriedly, looking around.The area was too quiet, too bushy. And below the cliff was a big body of water. It was definitely not a good place to be."Why is Silas always showing more attention to you than me?" My sister asked.I returned my gaze to he
JERAHHe looked at me like I was insane and maybe I was.My heart wouldn't stop pounding in my chest. I was commiting a grave offense, one that was strongly against my doctrine. But what in God's name was wrong with me?This man had been nothing but evil. He had hurt me before, was highly dangerous and had so much blood on his hands. For what felt likeh whole life, I've been against people and things like this. I should be far away from him. But instead, here I was! Wanting so badly to do things I should never dream of doing.This was likely going to change everything. I'd never be able to return to the convent. But how could I? With everything I had been through? With the new truth I was discovering?Yes, Void might be a really dangerous man. A man with a heart of stone. But somehow, I liked him. Perhaps, it happened because he was the first man I'd gotten to spend so much time with. I don't know. But I just know I like him."Do you realize what you're
VOID. I watched her fall asleep on the bed, in my arms. I bet she didn't know when she did that. Or maybe she did but just didn't care anymore.I stayed awake all through, reminiscing on the moment. It still seemed unreal - that Jerah had given up her body for me.Why exactly would she? When I had done absolutely nothing to deserve it? Now, she had only made it more difficult getting her out of my mind. And unfortunately, itwas the wrongest time.Father had me in a position I didn't want to be. Now, I was forced to work for him, against Jerah's father. How the fuck did that sound, huh? Definitely dumb.Jerah might not know much about her father. The man might be a díckhead and all, but he still fathered her. And no motherfucker would ever be cool with watching their father get killed. Except for a few motherfuckers, maybe. But definitely not Jerah.But now, I was left with no option but to get it done. So, I needed to cut ties with her. Hell, that was what I
JERAHI slept for a long time after my morning session with Void. I had no idea the sins of the flesh could feel so good - although, I still wasn't proud of it.I'd woken up to find Void on the bed, just sitting on the edge with his head in his palms. He seemed like one in deep thoughts."Are... Are you okay?" I gently asked as I rose up to sit next to him."Yeah," he mumbled.Of course, that was a lie.All of a sudden, I became bothered. I was yet to define what my relationship was with him. Although, there have been little signs of it, he'd never declared he liked me or even cared enough for me. What if he was treating me like he did to every other lady? What if I was nothing but a toy to him? Did he really look like a man that could pay respects to me?"Did Mina say when our father will be coming?" I stood up and asked, going to the table to pour myself a glass of juice."No. But I confirmed from someone that he might've arrived yesterday."I lo
