“What would it be, fellas?” He shouted again.Gale and Spence exchanged glances. Even Selena that had ducked her head earlier started to raise it. She knew the end was definitely coming but she hadn’t envisaged being gunned down by a lunatic psychotic criminal.The loud banging sound subsided and so did the threatening words. Gale crawled slowly toward Selena while he kept punching on his cellphone, he had requested for backup but he knew they had to hold out and survive before the team arrived.The man at the door became really impatient. He brought out a firearm and aimed for the door. He sprayed a few bullets in the air but none of it could penetrate the bulletproof door. Hale knew it was a matter of time before the man took another way out and he knew feeling relaxed could endanger all of them.He kept putting a call across to the backup team again, unfortunately, the network signals in the house were already jammed and he had no means of reaching anyone.They were trapped, they kn

“Are you going to arrest me now?”Selena’s chest tightened. Despite the fact that she tried to act tough in front of her brother and lover. She knew deep down, she was wounded. She had blamed herself severally for everything that happened while she was younger, it all didn’t make sense that she had to endure so much toxicity that she ended up as everyone’s nightmare.“No Sel, I said it earlier, I am not here as a detective.” Hale responded.Spence didn’t! He just looked sadly at his sister whose life had been ruined from the onset. He didn’t blame her, he dared not. She didn’t have the same privilege of a caring mother like Mrs Wellington. All Selena had ever done was thrive in the harsh world. He didn’t have to go through all that, all he lacked was wealth and now that he had all of that, he quite misses the old days.“How could you do that to a child?” Spence said at last.“I didn’t kill him intentionally, I just didn’t save him from harm, that’s all.” She picked up her phone and st

*Flashback* “I won’t condone this Pete.”Clara, Spence’s mum cried out angrily. She turned young Selena’s back and her eyes scanned through the scars that lie heavily on it, some of the parts still bleeding. She held Ryan who kept staring at the crying Selena. Peter on the other hand raised a defiant gaze and looked over at the damage he had done as if it didn’t matter at all.“She needed to be punished.” He said casually.Clara was made with rage. She picked up Ryan and took him to the other bedroom, Selena followed beside her and when she got to the room Lena, the mansion head maid came forward. Clara instructed her to treat Selena’s wound which she did gently. The other woman stared at the child’s back in awe.Her insides cringe at the thought of an adult doing that to a child. Lena had worked for Clara longer before she got married to Peter, a poor countryside bumpkin whom she somehow fancied; unfortunately, behind her back, he had always attempted to lay with her.“Lena, breathe

“Clara deserved her death.”Spence couldn’t wait to hear the rest as he splintered across the grounds. He hastily got into his car and zoomed off the premises not minding if his father had heard the loud screeching noise from his car tyre.He couldn’t process the information he just overheard rather an echo of it kept replaying in his head. He remembered all too well the first day he was given a tour of the Hale mansion. He had seen a large portrait of his mother hung in the hallway leading to his father’s room, unknown to him that it was merely a souvenir.He drove his way to his least expected place, the only place that was really home to him. Right into Mrs Wellington’s arms where he had spent his childhood. He remembered how much he had warned him about the secrets of the rich. Now that he was entangled in the web of fate and ended up as one, he didn’t know if he could live with knowing the secrets that came with it.Spence’s car came to an abrupt stop in front of his adopted moth

Pamela had the bag all packed, she sat there beside her girlfriend waiting endlessly for the doctor to show up for his rounds. She needed to personally appreciate his endeavor on Anita’s health and at the same time warn him to stay clear of harboring any infatuation for her.They had spent the last three weeks in the hospital and she couldn’t wait to return back to their warm bed to sleep out the rest of the day with Anita cuddled in her arms.They were still there gisting with some other patients and their guidian when Bella walked in. She had a big basket in her hand which she handed over to Pamela before rushing forward to hug her best friend Anita.“I thought Mr Hale had all the paperwork’s done already?” Bella questioned suspiciously.“He did, just waiting on the attending doctor.” Pamela said casually but Anita knew better.She just pretended not to notice the guilt her girlfriend wore on his face. They were all still talking when someone else walked in, all head’s turned in Spe

Alice smiled warmly at her reflection. The red lip she had on suits her aged skin all too well. She smiled inwardly at the thought of proudly walking up to Maya and boasting of how impactful her contribution was to getting her out of prison. She knew that wasn’t going to happen if she didn’t do her assignment accurately. She made for her car and drove out of the house. Her first instinct was to drive to the Hale mansion and pay Peter a visit but she had a rethink. She hadn’t equipped herself well enough to fight that freaking user. She got to her destination and parked her car. Her eyes scanned the giant building facing her. The mightiness of Zillow Jade filled her heart with envy. If only she had waited just a little, it could have belonged to her daughter Maya. They could have both bought Spence’s fragile heart and ruled above him but it was too late now, There was no use crying over spilled milk.
