Semua Bab ASSAULTED : Bab 21 - Bab 30

~SEGUN~ "What Sandra?" I said to her. I really wasn't in the mood for her type of talks.  "It wasn't part of the deal." She said.  "What wasn't part of the deal?" I dipped my hands into my pocket.  "Killing him or molesting her." She replied and I rolled my eyes.  "When you put it that way," I started, taking my time to do a small laugh. "It's changes nothing. You shouldn't be dumb enough not to know that if we let any of them go alive they'll rat us out." I told her.  "But..." "But what Sandra?!" I shouted.  "But David can't die." Tea

~ELIZABETH~ "You cannot just walk off like that. Not after dropping that kind of a bombshell." David pulled me back to face him.  "I just told you. I need to know who my father is." I shrugged and he rolled his eyes.  "I heard you the first time Elizabeth. What I don't understand is who that man that the police just drove out of here is." He pointed at the direction the police are drove off in.  "Trust me. I have no idea. He told me he wasn't my father. And didn't say any further. Now I need to vent my anger on my mother. If she truly is." I glared hard at an open space.  "Okay...calm down. You probably have a concussion because of all these drama. You need to relax." He held unto my shoulde

~Elizabeth~ I didn't utter another word, I couldn't think of anything to say. The only thing that my brain could register was David, so briskly, I left my office and Chidima to go to David's.  Walking towards his office, I could see the eyes of others on me, they all knew what was up and some took pleasure at other people's discomfort, especially those that were not happy about David and I being together. So I decided against sending glares at any of them.  I didn't even bother to knock, I just pushed the door open. When the door was wide open, my eyes met with David's. And with the look of things, he also just heard of the news.  It was all out. Tears clouded my eyes and I didn't stop myself from letting it out. My knees grew weak and I staggered backwards,

~Elizabeth ~"Mum." I breathed out with slightly dropped jaw. She was standing there, right in front of me, with a bright smile on her face.I choked on my own breath, the fear I once felt got mixed up with weird feelings, that seemed like joy but more. Tears stung my eyes at the view. She looked happy, she was standing straight and didn't look like she was even sick."My baby." She said after I didn't say anything anymore. Her arms spreaded out for a hug and without double thinking, I fell into them. Crying out more.It felt real, it was not another dream and even if it were, I did not want to wake up. "Mum." I said again, my voice cracking as I hugged tighter."I can't breath well." I heard her say as she patted my back. Reluctantly, I let her go, only to have to stare at her face again. She didn't change, it had been three months since I last saw her."I should be upset." She began, trying to pout but her smile failing the expression. "You didn't call me." She added and my eyes wide

~Elizabeth~I shuffled around my bed for the umpteenth time, trying to reach for the alarm clock again to press the snooze button. Just when I thought I had reached it, I fell hard to the ground and my body made a thud sound. "Ouch." I pouted lowly as pain jolted in. I stared up at the table clock and then fell backwards to the ground when I realized how late I was. Although I immediately regretted my decision to fall back as the back of my head began to hurt badly. With a loud sigh, I reluctantly got up from the ground and walked towards my bathroom. I shivered as goosebumps covered my skin when the cold water hit me. Letting out a shaky breath, I allowed myself adjust to the water. The ache did not stop banging at the back of my head and even water did not seem to cool it off. The thought of having to go back to work and sit in the almost enclosed room just made my body weak. That was not as worse as having people stare at me all because of the video that already went viral. David
