Peeling my eyes to the morning brightness amputating rough my closed eyes disrupting my sleep, I almost roll down from the scary grey pair peering over me. Luckily enough, he was able to catch me and pin me back on the bed. And here I thought it was the sun's savage rays! Gosh! What a scare in the morning! Wait...In a scramble, I apprehensively cruise my hands and eyes over my body from the chest down to my legs under the duvet. Miraculously, no piece of clothe is missing from my body. I am just the way I remember I was when this monster kidnapped me and caged me in his hands and chest last night.And...I really fell into slumber? In his arms? Under that disconcerting situation? Like seriously? I thought I was going to spend the whole night awake in fear of what the monster would do to me, yet here I am, just waking up. I didn't even feel him carrying me to bed. And he indeed didn't touch me? Cheeii! What sort of miracles are happening here?"You didn't believe me when I said I w

"I will have to go to the main club. Something came up. Will you be okay? You could come along." Ajay says, standing up.We have been sun-basking with Hannah for the better part of this morning.It's been three days since we had that pact with him and he has been holding up to his promises. Something I didn't expect. Something I still find hard to believe.The kids are back at the centre, and Joy is out of the dungeon. He hasn't hurt anyone for these three days, or at least, not that I know of because there is still that part of me that is controversial about his alteration. And to top it all, we have been taking care of Hannah together. He doesn't bond that much with the mother of his baby. Compared to how a first-time dad is expected to be acting, he is the total gross of it.His utterances to the poor lady don't go beyond "How are you". I guess that is the best form of care he can give. Duh! I have not seen him try to touch her belly bump even just once. How can he when he doesn't

Standing on the door of Terris' room, I take in a deep breath and heave out as much amount before knocking slightly on her door, and practising patience as seconds feel like hours before the door flings opens.Her angelic face pops up, with no discernible reaction or impression at all. No astonishment, and no questions on her face, and neither is there even a subtle glimmer of appreciation. It's like my presence means absolutely nothing to her. Honestly, it maims me. It stings so bad because we had just started getting along. She had just asked if I could take her as my friend too and I don't even recall responding to her that time. I didn't have any qualms whatsoever, but we just had a zillion things to talk about. Now here we are, back to oddballs again. I understand her sentiments, but I am albeit clenching on tight to the hope that the yearning she had when she asked me not to leave her behind when I leave this place is still stroking her heart, or at least, there is still love

Taking the stairways, Ajay has summoned a squadron of guards to get the cars ready. As usual, he doesn't go anywhere without his goons, but that is none of my fusses right now. I need to alert the girls and Deep too.As we pass by the rooms, I draw from the crowd of goons escorting us little by little while Ajay is on the call trying to call I don't know who.By sheer chance, and without spurring any alarm, I manage to skim inside my old room as they make their way forward.There is no time to sigh or even thank God for this, but I manage to murmur another short prayer to God as I find the switch and flicker the lights on, rushing to the drawer where I normally hide the gadget. Finding it, I reach to the upper drawer, meeting with my two babies - the guns. I grab them, and tuck them under my jeans. I scour for some long trench coat and slid it on top, buttoning it all the way up.I swipe my phone, making a call, and crossing my fingers in the hope that he is sti

"I see you have miraculously survived. How did you manage to manoeuvre my men, huh?" Ajay asks."Did you think you are the only slippery jerk? You think you are the only one with an army of security? Well, good news, I also do have my battalion, and here is some bad news for you - your men are no match at all to my men. They are being butchered like some fucked up incompetent helpless fools that they are." Deep scoffs."You must be joking! My men have the best-high quality guns. I personally train them and you, boy, don't have the skills except that of holding that toy you are holding. Do you even know how to use it?" Ajay mocks back."I would love to do a test for you, but I am not as heartless and insensitive as you, Ajay. It's too much of a chaos here and this isn't the place for this at all. The police are on the way up here. Surrender in peace. This is the end of the road for you, Ajay!" Deep says, and that blew the monster's cool."Police?! How the..." He starts, not believing h
