All Chapters of BLOOD LIVES HERE: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Trying to think of what had happened in the two villages in two consecutive nights bothered and gave Hunter a terrible headache. He had first thought of Ben and Devi and knowing them, he knew everything was about the land. What if they planned on getting rid of Chief Chovu’s whole family including his daughter in the other village? He asked himself. What was the big deal with the land that they were willing to go to the extent of killing everyone in their way? He knew they worked as contractors but who was behind all the scheme? He remembered what Walutanga’s sister said before dying. She mentioned something about children, did she mean her children? That wasn’t his concern at the moment but Walu was and he had to get to him as soon possible. He didn’t know why but there was some sort of urgency in his heart and through his job in the past, he learned to trust his instinct.The truck he had gotten onto had many problems on the way. They had to stop sev

Devi drove into his yard and found Ben’s car parked there. His head felt like it could drop off from the neck. He got out of the car and slowly walked to the front door limping. As soon as he entered the house, he directly went to his little bar in his living room and grabbed a quarter bottle of Jameson and gulped it all the way down his oesophagus. He then put the bottle on the counter and wondered where Ben was. He heard footsteps behind him and turned around, there stood Ben with a weary face.“Damn!” Devi gritted his teeth. “Sometimes you act like this is your house.”Ben didn’t say anything but walked past him and grabbed the same bottle he had drank from and gulped as well. If Devi knew, he would have noticed that Ben was in turmoil.“Why would you need that for?” Devi grabbed the bottle from him.As Devi wanted to take another sip, he heard footsteps coming from the other room and knew there was anoth

“I didn’t like the way he looked at me,” Ludo told Hunter.Immediately after leaving her office, she got on a cab to Central Park where she found Hunter waiting for her. She wasn’t sure how she would meet him at first because she didn’t get his phone number. She just went trusting that he would show up and he did.“Perhaps you've both met somewhere before,” Hunter said.“He’s my boss' cousin. There is something about him that i didn’t like. Enough of that, any progress on the search for the two murderers?”“Not really but i have been asking around. No one seems to know where they are found these days.”“I think my new boss can help us. We will just have to wait.”“How?”“Leave that to me.”He stared at her and looked away. “How’s the boy?”“On my way here, i talked to mom. She said he&

Feeling accomplished over the last three weeks, Mapulanga was on top of it all. He never thought he would ever be this close to becoming chief when he exiled himself with Grace. The last few weeks had been a handful for him. Against the wishes of some village members, He went ahead and planned the funerals for his brother and family. There was nothing anyone could have done but just watch and hope for a miracle. He had made himself Chief but it wasn’t official because Walu was apparently missing and nobody knew where he was. Mapulanga had theorized to the elders that the boy was dead because the hospital he had been taken to had no records of him. This raised suspicions but no one dared to ask. They were only waiting for the day when some other elders would come to Chisoti village and crown him as chief.He sat next to his wife he now referred to as Queen with no trace of shame. They were both happy and were really convinced that this was the work of Karma for what happ

Pieces of glass were shattered everywhere in the tiny room and there was a stench of blood. With one hand on the floor and a fist covered in blood, Hunter looked at Devi whose devilish smile didn’t fade on his face despite the punches that landed on his face the last 3 minutes. He didn’t leave Hunter unpunished as well, he threw in his heaviest blows on Hunter’s face that his nose was broken but that couldn’t be compared to how his jaw was hanging loose. The smile made it awkward. Hunter knew he had to take him out for good. He charged and threw one punch which Devi weakly blocked and removed his knife. He swung it across Hunter but he stepped back seeing it pass through his face inches away. Hunter grabbed Devi’s hand with the knife and hit it in the joint, the knife left his hand and dropped on the floor. Devi wanted to reach for it but Hunter beat him to it and kicked it under the bed. With his hand held tightly by Hunter, Devi decided to jump on Hunter and poked his eyes
