"What the fuck is wrong with you?" I heard Leo ask with a gun to my forehead."Stop trying to kill me. You can't, Ms Yrote. Can you quit already?" He spoke directly to my ears."If you're doing this with the hopes of getting back to the agency and being commended then forget it. First, you cannot escape here. Secondly, Omar doesn't give a shit about what I do with you.""You lie. I'll kill you, and I'll leave here and I'll be given a medal...""Don't mention a medal, come on, now you just sound stupidly desperate He groaned after he spoke."Omar must be so close to knowing where I am now. I'm sure he has the team trying to track my whereabouts. Maybe we'll finally have a crime with evidence to take you to jail." He must have little idea about the agency I work with. I trusted Omar. He'd find me soon and when he did, Leo will be in trouble.Leo laughed hysterically after what I told him."Omar has erased all files that could link your partnership to the agency. He couldn't get his superi

I stood at the edge of the terrace of my gym house. Mae had to accept the proposal I made to her no matter what. If she thought about it and decided to not work for me then I'd make her beg for me to give her a chance to change her mind. I had to let her know she didn't have a choice but to do what I wanted her to.Speaking of her. Is that her I see walking away from the building areas towards the field? I smile as she walks farther away towards the field suspiciously. She was trying to escape again.I knew she'd attempt leaving so I asked the men to ease off their guard around her room when I was leaving. I wanted her to leave. I could bring her back here whenever I wanted but I knew why she wanted to leave so I decided to let her.She wanted to confirm what I told her if I was calculating just right. She would probably head for her agency's headquarters in the city to meet Omar. She would tell him about all that happened with her so far and she'd ask about what I mentioned to her.I

I stormed out of Omar's office angrily, almost bumping into somebody. It was the man who had informed me of Omar's plans. The man who I didn't believe. "Did you sign it?" The man asked just when I was about to walk away from him."No," I whispered in an attempt to not get attention to myself."Good for you. Now run. Run and hide, and stay low for a while, things are going to be rough for you but good luck." The man wished me luck before going in the direction I was leaving from just now; Omar's office.I didn't even know him well enough for him to be concerned over me but I guess he just didn't want to partake in the wrong thing and hence why he let me know of Omar's plans beforehand.I got outside to the front of the building and surprisingly, the car that brought me was still waiting. I had forgotten about him and I still didn't have any cash on me to pay him with even after wasting his time."Hey," I put on my most convincing smile when I got to the cab."I don't have your money bu

I sat back on the only sofa in the room where Mae was kept after she was brought back to me. I lifted a tumbler to my lips, it was partly filled with whiskey. As I sipped continuously from it, I kept my eyes on Mae. She should be awake and conscious anytime soon. She squirmed and turned in the bed before sitting up. I watched her hold her head for some seconds before looking around to see where she was. Her eyes met mine when she looked in my direction. I smiled. It was humorous to catch the look on her face. It was a look that exposed how terrified she was to see me sitting in the room when she woke up."How bad is the headache? I'll ask someone to bring you some pills." I knew what she was injected with by my men before being brought here could cause a headache so I asked her."I'm sure you're happy now. You've found me and brought me back. What do you want from me?" She seemed very angry to see me. I couldn't explain why that would be the case. I thought she would be thankful that

"Oh Miss Yrote, you trust too much." I heard him. "What do you mean?" I became eager to know what prompted him to say what he just did. I also wanted to know why he laughed over what I told him about Nina."You were with the police when my men came for you, weren't you?" He asked and I immediately got the grip of what he was trying to say."I can't believe you trust the system like you trusted Omar." He shook his head."Just like I brought you here, I can do the same with your friend, Nina. All I need to do is make a simple phone call and she will be here by tomorrow morning. It's that easy."I found it hard to breathe as he uttered every word assertively. I lost my confidence when I realized that he actually could get Nina's despite her being with the police.How could I forget? I had seen some politicians at his auction that day I was on stage to be bid over. Leo was one powerful bastard. How did I get myself involved with him? If I could get away from Leo again, I swear I would kil
