“It’s nothing to be worried about.” He said, parting my head lovingly “Dad. Though I have problems of my own, I am a grown-up. I can handle it.” I tried to persuade him some more “Girl, you never give up. Okay. We have noticed some strange activities around you lately. It seems someone is targeting you.” I was stunned by the revelation “What?’ “Yes. That’s why I hired all the guards here to protect you. It seems whoever is after you are determined to get rid of you,” he said, and my mind drifted. I even forgot I just got divorced. My mind was racing, trying to figure out who was it after my life. I didn’t place James on the list. He was the last person that would try to do it. The image that kept on coming to my mind was Mrs. Watson. She was the only one that had the motive and intention to get rid of me. “Could it be Mrs. Watson?” I asked dad. He looked at me, surprised “I don’t think she would go to that extent. Probably one of Watson’s enemies or something.” Dad said, but a
Unknown POV I just landed back in the country after a long business trip. Being tired, I wanted to rest. I didn't know I would meet a horrible scene along the way. "Go through the provincial road," I asked my driver. I felt too tired that I had a severe headache throughout the flight. I wanted somewhere quiet, and the highway was not giving me that. Just as the driver took a corner, we had gunshots. There were people on the road looking down the steep hill. It seems there was an accident. "Just drive through," I said to my driver as he stopped due to the cars ahead of us. We had to go round the vehicles and drive-by. I was going through my emails when the driver called for my attention. "Sir. It seems the gunshots came from up ahead." He said, pointing where a woman was on the road crawling towards what seemed like an infant. A man was standing beside the child, pointing a gun. I cursed under my breath. "What should we do.?" He asked me. I threw him a stern look "What can we d
"It is quite unfortunate," Alex said"Prepare everything for the burial. I want you to investigate and know what happened," I said, heading back to my room. I somehow felt dejected. I had not felt that way for a long time. I stood at the window, looking outside deep in thoughts. It was almost dawn, but the day seemed to carry with it a sorrowful atmosphere.I could remember my sister, Bella. She was a charming young lady full of life. Each time I think of her, my heart softens. Her death was a blow to the whole family. The young woman reminds me of how she died. Killed in the middle of the road by Mafias. I thought I could save her, but it was only my wishful thinking. I felt surging anger rise from within me. I turned and gave the wall a hard fist."Aaaaah," I shouted, the frustration away, sliding down on the wall and sitting on the hard cold floor.I wanted to help revenge her. That was the only thing I could do for her. I took out my phone and called John again."Hi man," he sai
I didn't trust people, especially a public hospital where every Dick Tom and Jerry can access your information. Being sick and wounded most of the time, I had to make my own well-facilitated clinic. I had a team of doctors with the best skills in the world. Money can buy skills but not loyalty.They have been loyal to me. Leaving Jane to them was not an impromptu decision. If they could not help her, then no one wouldWalking in the hallway, I stood before a huge glass partition as a wall. Inside I could see a beautiful woman lying almost lifeless. If not for the beeping of the machine and her slight chest movement, one would think she was dead.She was cleaned and her wounds taken care of. I didn't want to see her at first, but I felt attracted. I held the black doorknob and pushed the glass door, intending to go in. before I could step into the room, the doctor in charge called me over."Good morning, sir." Well, it was almost 8 in the morning."Mmmh," I responded."The patient expe
Peter told me about everything that happened between him and Jane. I was surprised"You two have known each other for more than three years?" I asked again in disbelief"Yes."Well, Peter and I had a really long history together. We were friends for a long time until the death of Bella."Are you still going to run away?" I asked, looking deep into his eyes"I am not running away. I just want to spend time alone.""It has been five years. Though Bella's death hit us, we have to accept and move on" This time, it was more of telling myself."She looks just like Bella," He said, and I was shocked. He also saw something in Jane that reminded him of Bella."What are you going to do with Jane?" Peter asked, and this time I didn't have anything to say. I didn't really know what to do with her. I acted on impulse, but I didn't regret saving her."I don't know, man, but I will have to help her till she recovers," I said."I will make sure the Watson pay for what they did," He said, and I could
I thought death had finally taken me, but no. It gave me another chance at life. When I first woke up. I found myself in a strange room. Before I realized I was in a room, I thought I was still lying in the middle of the road. I started looking for Ethan. I wanted to save him.When a man ran to my side, I grabbed. Him. I wanted him to give me my child. I had yet to register where I was and how I got there. When he told me my son was no more and there was nothing they could do to save him, I felt like my world had crumbled. I had nothing left. No husband, no home, no dad, no child, nothing. What was the meaning of living?I lost consciousness and woke again. This time calmer. I nodded my head but didn't know what exactly I was accepting. I felt nothing in the world could bring my son back. I was thinking of what Watson and Cynthia did. I dared not give up.I would wake up for the next few weeks but could not fully fathom where I was and who I was. It was hell. I had several h attacks w
“ I want to know more about Cynthia and her family. Help me dig out the information,” I asked him. At first, he hesitated and then turned as cold as he always had“ Okay.” He answered“Nobody should know I am alive. Don’t even think of telling your evil brother.” I changed my demeanor thinking of James and everything he had caused in my life“ Don’t worry. I paid my allegiance to you back then. Even family has to pay for the wrong done,” he answered before I ended the call.Thinking of what Jerry just told me, it was evident that man had tried to protect me from whoever was looking for me.In the next few weeks, I started doing exercises to make my body strong and stop thinking too much. I felt the pressure was too much and needed release. Sometimes, I would do it for hours that a certain man would forcefully stop me. I always found it irritating, but I had to stop.I had been following on Cynthia lately. With the information I got from Jerry, things are not simple with the Malloy fam
Sitting in a private room in the five star hotel, I was listening to my new business partner. I sat lazily in the chair while listening to the chirping voices of the people in the room. I felt bored. Their business idea was not what I was looking for. I then turned to look outside the door and back inside.I turned again real quick to have a proper look. I seem to have caught a glimpse of a familiar figure passing by the door. Thinking it to be a figment of my imagination, I turned back to look at the people in the room. Then it hit me. No! is that Jane?I didn’t hear what the others said in the room but I saw their shocked expression. I stood up fast and run towards the direction I saw Jane going to. I followed the corridor and found two paths. On was going towards the bathroom and the other towards the other VIP rooms. I knew for a fact she doesn’t use shared washrooms. So she must’ve gone to the other VIP section.I ran and saw her standing in a room holding something in her hand
