Philippe was a good monkey. He climbed a very tall tree and watched Charlie exchange words with Tony. He couldn't just understand where Charlie got the confidence to challenge me. He wished he had some supernatural powers that could just shut him up because he was really playing with his death. Maltida was begging for her life. But if Charlie fails to cooperate, we would be forced to pull the trigger. Sarah was only suffering in the hands of Charlie. He twists her neck from side to side, all to protect himself. He knew I was very much serious about throwing the bullet straight in his chest if he remains adamant. He was beginning to speak nonsense. He had no point per say why Sarah was kidnapped. They have only been punishing her for nothing. Even her father did not commit any sin against them. The only "sin" was that he was wealthy and refused to collaborate with Lotus and he was never going to do so. Not when I am still alive! Time was fast spent. Since we had seen Sarah, we were

Trina called everyday to check up on us and she would ask if we were all fine a thousand and one times. She was really bothered about us because we were taking longer than planned. We had planned that we were only going to spend three days in the "wilderness.” Trina complained about Maggie's constant nightmares. She always saw Malid chasing her in her dreams and then and would disturb the serenity that came with the night. Trina advised her to stop thinking about Malid because he was beginning to drive her crazy. She could no longer sleep at the visitor's room. She had to move into Trina's room but it wasn't getting any better. She would still aloud at night in fear. That morning when Trina called, the dream changed. She dreamt about Thunder and I. It was a bad dream. She saw us in a tunnel, struggling to go out of it but we didn't see light at the end of it. The dream sounded really odd to me. Maggie must be over thinking. I asked Trina to ensure she had her eyes on her and had eno

Mama had become a devil that her children feared so much. Lizzy locked herself up in the room, fearfully. Mama's reaction was really suspicious. She couldn't just think of what action Mama would take next but she was really scared that something bad was going to follow her confession. It was really weird to Uloma and she lost her peace almost immediately after Lizzy's confession. Mama didn't even wait to let Lizzy explain further. She just acted as though all that she was saying didn't make any sense to her. It was a day before the day we had all agreed to "disappear" and we were secretly packing our bags and getting set for the journey ahead of us. Sarah was still on the sick bed but with her state of health, the sick bed was no longer befitting for her. She was hale and healthy and no one could deny that fact even she herself. Infact, she wanted us to leave immediately but the native doctor was on our way and we just had to take everything slow so as to laugh last. The native doc

Malid continued to follow Maggie in her sleep but it soon became a reality. He started following her, claiming that he had something very important to say to her. She told Trina about it and Trina advised that she listened to whatever he had to say but Maggie was too adamant. She wouldn't even give him the chance because the sight of him alone irritated her. It didn't seem right to her to talk to someone who attempted to take her life and she wasn't going to see him. Malid noticed that I wasn't in town. He now had the guts to visit the company in my absence, claiming that he wanted to see Maggie but Maggie had warned the security men never to let him in. Maggie did not even try to guess what it could be. That he wanted to say. She wasn't interested in it a bit. There was nothing Malid did not do the make Maggie's heart soft so he could spend time with her. He now knew that she lived in my house and this was his greatest fear. He thought that Maggie and I were engaged already for she

The love Maggie had for Malid was so far away from her heart. It died the day she walked out of their relationship and nothing in this world was going to change her mind. Though she thought of him as she slept that night, her hatred for him was only getting renewed.When the brightness of the sun began to disturb Eugene, we took him to the hut where Sarah was kept for days. There was a small wooden bed that sat conspicuously at the left side of the small room. He laid there and we were all looking at him, pitifully. But we couldn't waste much time. We had to act really fast so we could rescue Sarah from Lotus. Numbers, Leviticus and the native doctor did not reach their destination until after about one hour and twenty-one minutes. It was so far and the road that led to the place was like a shapeless figure. They were just entering into gallops at intervals and the bike would bounce as though a basketball. Charlie was already there waiting for their arrival. He left the old woman's
