You need help

At the clinic, the antiseptic air clung to Love’s throat. She took a deep, shaky breath on the hard plastic bench, her knuckles white where she gripped the edge. The fluorescent lights hummed a tuneless dirge. One of the police officers who had brought them emerged from the treatment corridor, his heavy boots squeaking on the linoleum. His face, usually set in stern lines, was carefully neutral as he walked over.“The doctor is with her now,” he said, his voice lowered.Love was on her feet instantly, a surge of adrenaline burning through the fatigue. “Is she alive?”“Yes,” he confirmed, holding up a placating hand. “But it seems she’s going to need a neck brace. They’re running scans to be sure there’s no spinal involvement.”The confirmation of life hit Love like a wave, leaving her weak-kneed with relief, but the details quickly curdled it into a fresh, simmering anger. She breathed out, rubbing her eyes as if to scrub away the horrific image of Given crumpled on the floor. “What a

just this once

Judith paused, realizing her face was probably too serious, something her sister always pointed out, making it the reason why men never approached her. She looked too mean, apparently. “Before Bonnie’s passing, her daughter had already caught us. I think more than anyone else, she was hurt the most from the situation. Earlier on, she called me wanting to know if her mother was angry with her. She sounded very suicidal and just wanted to talk to me and put whatever was going through her head to rest. I went over to her house and found her trying to suffocate herself with gas.” Judith stared at him. He paused for a second and carried on. “The doctor declared her free to go after treatment. I took her back home, and I really don’t know if her brain is functioning backward, but she tried to kiss me. I’m thinking she is trying to deal with her emotions through me because maybe it gives her some sense of closeness to her mom, which is weird either way. I made it clear that’s not what

She's alive

In Rivercity, Regina sat in her mother in-laws house crying uncontrollably. David's mother sighed.“We need to call people. Where is her body?”“The police took her to the mortuary.”“I can’t believe a child would hang herself. She is too young. I just don't believe that something like that can actually happen.”Regina sniffed. “I found her in the backyard.”“We will hold the funeral here. This is God punishing David. First, it was Adrian … now now. All this is punishment.”Regina’s small phone rang. She paused, crying, taking it out from her bra, and then picking.“Hello?”“This is the police-“Regina got up and walked put. “I am still with my in-laws. We will get her body soon.”“Why would you think she is dead? Your daughter is alive and giving her statement right now. We need you at the police station immediately.”Regina froze for a second, then sighed. “Oh, she is alive? Thank God. I was even scared.”“I don’t want to look for you. Just come before we come and take you.”Regin

Don't let her come back

In Suncity, Given moved back shaking still holding the knife dripping with blood in her hands.“Stop abusing me! I am tired.”Regina looked at her hand crying. “You stabbed me! I want you out of my house!”“This is not you house! Its my father’s house. The reason why daddy’s family doesn’t like you is because you forced yourself into him. You got pregnant by him and forced your way into his house. You leave! This is my father’s house. Take your bags and leave.”“Given-“Given walked to her mother’s bag and pulled it out with some of her clothes and threw it out. “Go!”“Given-“Given aimed at her with the knife. Regina quickly rushed out screaming. Angrily, Given chased behind her with the knife. Regina screamed even louder.“ Help !Help !Help! She wants to kill me!”Given stopped at the gate watching her mother running into the street. She walked back into the house and swallowed taking out all her mother’s clothes then threw them out. She held her breath for a second as tears flooded

Dangerous territory

One Month Later…At Companies and Intellectual Property Authority, Adrian walked out of the offices holding a few forms for his company. He unlocked his car and jumped in calling Alex.“Adrian..”“Are you winning?”“Yes. I am waiting to make payment now. They said they can deliver it for us too so I will hop in the truck with them.”“Sure.”“Did you manage with the registration?”“Yes.”Tiro laughed excitedly. “I can’t believe this shit. We fucken own a company.”Adrian laughed. “Yeah.. me too. Once the investment bank approves our loan, we will be good to go.““I am not going to disappoint you. I promise. Let me go. I will update you after we are done.”“Sure.”Adrian hung up and drove off calling Judith but her phone just rang unanswered. *45 Minutes Later..Adrian drove inside her yard and stepped out of his car with food. He walked past her car and knocked on the door. Minutes passed as he knocked then he stopped listening to footsteps. Judith opened the door wearing a gown and

new merge

The Perfect Husband #27Adrian parked at his house lost in his thoughts. His phone vibrated ringing. He looked at the unsaved number wondering if it was them.“Adrian, hello?”“Adrian Vale?”“Yes, who am I speaking to?”“This is Miguel Sterling. I’ve got a friend here, Lyric. Look, your proposal landed on my desk. The owner of the investment bank passed it to us, she believes in your plan. I do too. I just finished reading through it, and I’m impressed.”Adrian froze. “Miguel Sterling? As in Sterling Logistics?”Another house spoke on the phone. “Don’t hype him too much. He won’t know how to act.”Miguel laughed. “That’s my friend. But yes, it’s me.”Adrian laughed stunned . “Shit! I can’t believe I’m getting a call from you. Not to mention I applied at your company twice and never even got an interview.”Miguel chuckled. “Well, I now feel very stupid.”Adrian ran a hand over his face, his mind racing. “I—I appreciate the call.”“Listen, we’d like to discuss this further. How about a

prove your worth

Adrian walked out with the guys a while later. lyric smiled.“I am actually excited to see how this will work out. And once it starts working out, find something else to open. You need to reach a point where you are so financially stable that misplacing 10k won’t bother you. Unless you have a wife.”Miguel laughed. “Don’t listen to this one. He will lead you astray. But some advice from a big brother perspective don’t go for older women. An older woman is too controlling and feels she’s above you will never respect you. I promise you that. Find someone young and beautiful. There are a lot of ladies out there.”Adrian nodded. “Thank you.”Lyric ’s phone rang. “Its wife, finish up Miguel and take me home.”He walked away picking his wife’s call. Miguel looked at Adrian.“Is there anything else you feel I should know before we start? That won’t stop this merger but it just helps if I know if we are going to be business partners.”“Yes but I’m handling it so it won’t be an issue moving

A lot at stake

Adrian sat in his house that day listening to the recording he had secured earlier on. He tried to think of ways to handle it best but by the looks of things, it seemed like he’d be digging himself into a hole. Such things never ended well. He closed his eyes realizing that desperation had made him agree to the deal in the first place. Now that his things seemed to be going well, it didn’t feel like much of a good idea.He thoughtfully stared at his phone for a while then finally picked it and made a call.“Adrian, what’s up?”“I hope this is not a bad time.”“No. What’s up? We are still on for the merger meeting tomorrow right?”“Yes. But remember the thing I told you I’d handle?”“Yeah?”“I need a bit of help handling it. Right now I am stuck where I am currently working. There’s an issue tying me down.”“I figured. What is it?”“I’d rather we talk in person. Is that possible?”“Yes. Let me call you back after I talk to Madam.”“Ok.”Miguel hung up. Adrian waited, and minutes late

we're not 12

In Block 10, Judith followed the google map directions. She slowed down driving in a street looking at the plot numbers on the gate. She finally located the house number and parked at the gate.Judith called him again and his phone just rang. She stepped out of her car and walked to the gate unable to see inside the yard.Judith pressed the intercom nervously. Seconds latera boy spoke on the intercom speaker.“Hello?”Judith blinked. “Hi. How are you?”“Fine. Who is this?”“Uh my name is Judith. I’m looking for Austin. He stays here.”“Austin?”“Yes.”“Uh I don’t know. Wait, let me ask my dad.”“Ok.”Judith looked around wondering of the house address was wrong. Or maybe it was the old address. She quickly called her colleague.“Judith..”“Are you sure that’s his address? I think I’m lost.”“It is. That’s the address he uses.”“Ok. Maybe he must have moved. I feel I’m lost“The gate slid open a little. Judith took a deep breath waiting. Austin walked out seconds later and frowned loo

After so many years

**THREE MONTHS LATER** Adrian had one hand on the wheel, the other holding his phone to his ear.“I have to say, I’m impressed. Balancing two roles like this? Not everyone can handle it.” Adrian chuckled slightly, eyes focused on the road. “I want this to work. I don’t want to go back to what I was.”Miguel laughed. “You need get yourself a PA. You are stretched thin. You need someone to keep things in check.”“I’ll handle it.” “Good. Now, about Urban Logistics, an operations team is set to bust them. Judith will get the credit she deserves.”Adrian nodded. “Thanks.”Adrian ’s eyes fell on the woman bent over on the side of the road gripping her stomach like she was in unbearable pain.“Shit—”“What?” “I will call you back.”Adrian cut the call and swerved to the side of the road. He jumped out and then rushed over to her.“Hey, hey… are you okay?”She whimpered, her breathing ragged. “I… I need the hospital… please…”Without hesitation, Reba picked her up, carrying her to the car
