After a moment of hesitation, Diana let herself into the abandoned house and once she was in, she could finally confirm the house was indeed abandoned. The leaking and corroded roofs, the furnitures torn upside down. It looked like the house has not been habitable for some years now, precisely three years.
Diana felt a much bitter pain and anger and worry for a moment, "Where are my parents?" She wondered as she surveyed the environment.Just as she walked out of the building two Hilux drove into the compound at once. The speed with which the cars zoomed in and halted, on its own, indicated that whoever are on it, were not here for Jokes.Then suddenly, about four fierce-looking men each alighted from the cars, then a bald man alighted from the car in front,he appeared more intimidating, about a head taller than Diana, with his chest puffed out and was bulging with muscle, not only that, he was holding a battle axe and just like his men, he wore incomplete military gears.Diana stood there unafraid of the men as they walked closer to where she was, just outside the building."What are you doing here! You mother fucker? Don't you know this is a restricted area?", The bald man queried, glancing at Diana who by now should be shaking and shivering with fear, for her life and her face turning pale in terror, but surprisingly she still stood there unafraid with a blank expressionless face."Who is she?" The bald man questioned himself as he felt she was formidable."Restricted area? Hur? This is my father's house and my compound. Who are you?" Diana answered the bald man's question with a question. Originally, he hated it when his questions are answered with questions, so it infuriated him.Knitting his eye brows he halted on his step and his men behind him. "I laud your guts! and As far as I know. This is now the Wakin's property, so get your foots of this premises if you don't want trouble!"At that moment, the few neighbors around had crowded around. However, they kept their distance at the sight of Wakins boys. None of them would dare to interfere.Wakin's family indeed -"I can see you're new to this city...." One of the men responded. He was shocked to discover that there is still a living soul in Delta city who doesn't know Scot, the bald man!Scot had gained popularity as the chief security of Wakins family.Scot was shocked to see the confidence the lady standing few metres in front of him was exuding."I won't repeat myself! Get out!" Scot thundered!With a sycophantic smile, Diana took two steps forward. Scot felt mocked because the aura the unknown lady in front of him exuded did not blend in with her smile.Then it hit him at an instant after scrutinizing her more closely. "Aren't you the maid from three years ago, that hit Mr Ethan with a glass bottle and was put behind bars for three years ? I'm surprised you're out already! Your timing is so immaculate. Today marks your parents third year of merciless slavery to the Wakin's family" Scot sneered.Then Diana swept her icy gaze across Scot and his men, sending a chill down their spine. Furrowing her eye brows in disbelief on what she had just learnt. That explains where her parents are."What did you just say?" Diana inquired in rage."Young lady! You're just back from prison and I am not so cruel to beat up a lady. Just please leave this vicinity and never get close or else!" Scot said and then smirked."What would you do??" The frown on Diana's face intensified and she balled her hands into fists!"Oh wow, she is asking me what I would do to her.." Scot then giggled, " .....and to rephrase what I said, Today marks your parents third year of slavery to the Wakin's family and it's the reason I said your timing is impeccable!""You might wanna see them.... Yea,sure... Come by evening they'd be free by that time! You woman!""Well thank you for the information!" Diana responded."Now...... You have thirty seconds to leave this compound!" Diana barked in addition."Hey you... That ought to be our line not yours!" One of the men answered with a guttural voice."Your time starts now!" Diana asserted and pointed out, fiercely."Who does she fucking think she is? Guess I appeared too jovial and kind to her...." Scot thought, but he could actually feel some tension in the air as her gaze turned frosty and a murderous aura emanating from her body.After a while, comprehension dawned, and Scot fumed, "what did you say? I have 30 seconds to exit this place? Same place I had warned you to stay clear off?" Angrily, just as he spoke he waved his hands signifying to his men to drag her out of the premises, ignoring she is a lady and a woman.Considering her scrawny looks, out of the eight men, only one of the men stepped forward to drag her out. Afterall, she was just a lady and won't be able to match any of Scot's burly men.To everyone's surprise, Diana launched a kick in response to the man intending to grab her and he was sent flying few metres back in the air.Everyone was bowled over."Such force!"From a lady? How is that even possible?The man collapsed to the ground heavily, drenched in sweat and crying out in agonizing pain.Scot was a martial artist student himself and he needed not be a genius to tell that anyone who could kick someone with such high impactful force was an expert. But she was just a lady? Or was he imagining things?"Get her!" He roared out, viciously.With that, the other seven men charged at once.The man sprawled on the ground,tried to get up but failed woefully after trying twice.In the face of attack by seven well trained men, Diana, a woman sneered and took a step forward. What she had learnt in the prison for three years are finally being put to use!Boom!With that single step of her, the men let out agonized wails before they all went flying back. Smashing the ground at different times.At once, the neighbors were stumped."How can one person? A lady for that matter.... do that?"Some murmured even as they watched in amazement.As Scot gaped at his men sprawled on the ground, a chill ran down his spines. Little had he ever thought that Diana had some martial art defensive skills enough to beat seven burly men at once.Scot frowned deeply. He could tell this young lady was an expert!"Leave this place right this minute!" Diana repeated in an icy tone and then snapped her fingers,"Get lost!"The agonizing pain had some of the men howling at the top of their lungs as they managed to hobble out of the compound, leaving their cars behind.Even Scot ran out as well, but before he ran out , he shot Diana a pernicious glare. Evidently, he was feeling indignant about what had just transpired. Nevertheless, Diana still didn't feel his rage.As the chief security officer. His reputation is currently at stake.Just after they left,a burning rage started to grow up within her. The neighbors could actually sense her fury, but that would be her nursing herself to get killed.Nobody dares the Wakin's family. Is it money? Is it power? They had it all and they can make her varnish from the surface of the earth without a single trace. Who is she to have challenged the chief security? She is already in for a big mess! She ought to have learnt her lessons being an ex-convict, but no!Diana exhaled deeply before she started exiting the compound. She was still wearing her torn prison canvas and the civil clothing she was given immediately after her release. A black trouser , a white top and a black long sleeved jacket.She was enveloped with rage as she left the compound thinking of what to do."She needs to go get her parents out! But she can't just barge into the Wakin's abode and take them away. That would be an unreasonable option!" She thought, then something suddenly struck a cord within her. Ca
With a smirk, Oliver threw a bunch of Cash and a wedding card at Diana and then said, "Get yourself medical attention and that's my wedding card!" The words pierced into Diana as the bunch of Cash and wedding card landed on her body.Oliver entered his car immediately. The next moment he was already driving off. Meanwhile, Diana was strongly heartbroken but it didn't stoped the fury and rage in her eyes. She radiated and exuded a murderous intent towards him as her eyes caught the glimpse of the wedding card. She bent down to pick it and was further shocked. Oliver was getting married to Emily? Ethan's sister? The daughter of the Wakin's?Diana's expression changed all of a sudden. After all she did for Oliver, he didn't just break her heart, he was getting married to the daughter of the family that forcefully got her into prison? Ethan being the one that made the passes at her three years ago." Did this just happened?" She asked herself in a puzzled look. She furrowed her eyebrow
What? So Jason here, is the young man that Catherine said would be her loyal and obedient servant? No, it can't be him . I know him head to toe and even his background. He can't possess all those abilities Catherine said he possessed."So, why do you want to see me? For me to be your alliance? Are you joking?" Jason queried vehemently .Then Diana brought out her silver necklace with the life like eagle carved on it and it's eyes imbued with red pendant radiating a faint aura.Jason couldn't help but scrutinize the necklace more closely. Alas, he felt as though he was on the verge of a heart attack when he truly scrutinized Diana more closely. The Eagles necklace? Thats the eagles necklace! Anyone who wears it, as far as she is a lady. She is the queen of the quins royal regiment!How is it possible for an ex-convict to have suddenly garnered such identity? How did she get the necklace? Jason fell into a trance for a moment and it made Diana wondered.Jason's father, who everyone k
A hunched back old lady with a headful of white hair walked into view reaching out his stick as if to feel something. The old Lady's eyes were closed shut. It could not be any more obvious that she was blind. Just as she was about to speak, she ended up coughing intensely instead."I thought you said you live alone?" Diana asked as she turned to look at the old lady.Cough cough! Her coughing intensified further as she started to vomit."Mum?" Jason dashed forward to support his mum. Nevertheless, he was given a fright when he saw the black blood his mum, Sonia had coughed out. At the sight of the scene, Diana furrowed her brows at once. Evidently, Sonia was injured and her injury was worsening. Staring at her, Diana was surprised how this old lady has been able to survive despite the injury in her right lung and the hole in her heart.She could diagnose her sickness with a mere look and observation.. "Quickly, carry her to a room" Diana snapped into action and ordered Jason who
"I'll be at the corridor waiting.. Incase you need my help...." Diana said and then heaved a sigh, "an angry sigh" "just three minutes" she added and then opened the door and went out. She knew in not more than three minutes time, Jason would come to her, begging her to come treat his mother. It's already two minute since she left the room and not even Jason or the doctor bothered about her absence. The Doctor was busy with Sonia's acupuncture treatment and he was already and entirely drenched in sweat. Soon, he finally inserted the last silver needle in the acupoint in Sonia's chest.Dr Steve had not much confidence in the treatment that he had just administered, thus, he watched closely. "Sonia ought to have opened her eyes by now" he got worried. Once an acupuncture treatment is carried out on a patient, immediately the last needle is inserted, he or she regains consciousness and opens his or her eyes, but, why was she yet to open her eyes? Thirty seconds more had elapsed making
His eyes were filled with horror. Nevertheless, he didn't say anything, he handed over the remaining set of seirin needle.After receiving them, Diana swiftly removed all the roughly positioned silver needles from Sonia's acupoint and dropped them into their respective box.Then she asked Dr Steve to press against the viral point in Sonia's legs and he did exactly that. Moving with a janus-face marked by his deliberate deceptiveness, by pretending one set of feelings and acting under the influence of another, she swiftly positioned and started inserting the needles into Sonia's vital acupoints. In a jiffy, she had already inserted twenty Three seirin needles and now she was drenched in cold sweats as she looked to be exerting a lot of strength and carefulness in doing so.When she finally inserted the last needle. Diana let out a long sigh and then slumped to the wall behind her like she was completely drained. Of course! She was drained.All through the entire time of Diana's acupun
Diana watched Dr Steve entered his car and zoomed off, just then someone tapped her from behind, with a shock and alertness she turned, surprisingly, it was Jason."He ought to be with his mum..." She thought"You good now?" He inquired."Yea..." Diana responded, looking at him quizzically. "Ms Queen..." He started, " I can't thank you enough. You saved my mother's life and if not for you I don't know what would have happened to her.. I appreciate you kindness and help a lot.... " Diana was oddly touched with the way he humbled himself and thanked her. “You are welcome,” she said in response."Is there anything you need from me? If there is, tell me about it. I'll readily fulfill it as far as it's within my power..." Jason declared resolutely. He was hell bent in doing anything for her as far as she saves his mum, he didn't wanted to lose her now."You're being too kind Jason, as I barely did anything. Furthermore, this is one of least I could do for my executioner and also a friend
"Diana???" At that moment, a fashionably well dressed man who happened to be in his late twenties called out to her as he climbed the stairs from the VIP section of the bank. He clearly overheard her talk.Behind him were two burly looking bouncers with a serious face and each holding a baton and one carrying a bag, obviously filled with cash. They both wore black tuxedos.The man was wearing a pair of fashion glasses, and and ice gold chain worth millions of dollars around his neck, his dress code somehow accentuated the kind of work he does, probably a singer/ musician or a dancer or both combined, as his left arm was covered in tattoos.In Delta city, if you're not a singer, a musician, a disc jockey, a wrestler, a footballer, and e.t.c you'd dare not have tattoos so it gave Diana something to think about... She doesn't remember knowing someone who does all of that! Still, who is this? She thought as he approached,"And you're?" She furrowed her eye brows slightly and further scru
