All Chapters of The god who hates me: Chapter 21 - Chapter 29

Ariel woke up worried. She had two problems on her mind. The disturbing news Rain had shared, and the fact she no longer had a job. “I'm cooked.” She sighed and threw herself back on her bed. She was still deep in thought when it dawned on her she had not called Jaques. She was unsure about the whereabouts of his business card. She had been so mad at Axel that she may have likely lost it. Brushing off negative thoughts, she reached for her purse and searched. She was right, it was gone! She sighed in disappointment and was about to toss it aside when she saw a familiar business card. She had gotten it from the man at the club, the late Blue Rail 's CEO's son. She looked at the numbers on the card, this could probably be the answer to her plight. She quickly reached for her cellphone and thumbed the digits. Ariel watched it ring, she was a ball of nerves. Shortly after, she could hear a curt male voice from the other end. “Hello?.” Kyle answered the phone curiously. The sound o

Bianca moved through the stench in the dark alley with her left hand placed over her nose. The old man's base smelt like death, she could hardly bear the stench. He was propped up against the wall when she saw him. He shoved a smoke against his lips and flicked the lighter on. He swipes a glance at her, and walks towards an abandoned container in the alley, scratching his festering wound as he walks. Unlike the foggy darkness outside, the interior was bright. But Lucius kept some places dark. There were different murder weapons on the table, knives, axes and an empty gun. Lucius had emptied the bullets, the gun was not an active participant in his job, shooting someone would draw attention. Bianca looked at him sternly. “What do you want?.” “I don't like when you look at me like that.” “Like what?.”“With disgust.” He puffed a gust of smoke and cocked the empty gun. “Because I am disgusted.”“You never look at your mother like that.” “She's nothing like you.” Sh

Rain was sobbing behind the counter when Ariel barged in like she was running from a wild beast. “Where is he?.” She asked the distraught aunty Rain, fearing the worst had happened. “I can't find him, he is missing.” Rain cried in response, blowing her nose with a towel. “When did this happen?.”“This afternoon.""He went out to play with the other kids but he never came back. I'm panicking, what if something bad happens to him? He's just a baby.” She sobbed. Ariel's heart sank to her stomach. She desperately hoped he was still alive. This was all her fault, that psychopath had probably gotten his claws on Khan. Desperate, she ran out the door in search of Axel, he could not have gone far, he was still around, and he could help. She wondered why he had not saved Khan, it was piece of cake for him. But if Khan dies, it'd be too late. Nothing could bring him back. Ariel had a hunch the serial killer had kidnapped Khan. But Axel was the only one who'd know what

Ariel's eyes darted around, scanning the restaurant in search of him. She hoped he'd show up. She had texted him the address last night. Seconds turned into minutes and minutes rolled into hours. She glanced at the door in expectation, hoping he'd walk in any moment, but there was no sign of him. She decided to be a bit more patient. The previous incident traumatized Khan; he was doing great, the killings had ceased, and the psycho was probably behind bars. Joan reached out after a week and told her she had gone on a vacation. Ariel was relieved. Sighing, she glanced at the oblique aesthetic clock on the wall. He was already an hour late. Disappointment began to creep in; he was not coming. The realization left a sinking feeling in her stomach; it was like her heart had been ripped in two. Tears stung her eyes, but she blinked them back with difficulty. Expecting Axel to like her back was hopeless; he didn't even have the decency to show up or decline her treat. That was h
