CHRONICLES OF THE ASSASSIN

Ten years later, Philip was driving from college back to his house. He was now grown and independent. His father had given him his own house and cars and for every contract that he signed, it was attached with money that would be released after he had performed the expected assignment.He parked his car in the garage and walked into his house which was the very evidence of money. He sat down and kept his books aside. He had things to do including his class project. He had consistently kept up the good grades and he made sure not to miss any exams.He pulled off his clothes and walked into the bathroom to shower. His phone rang from the room and when he had dressed up, he saw the missed call. It was from Enya Miller. They attended the same University but studied different courses.After looking at his phone for a while, Philip sighed and cut the call, he didn't feel like speaking to her or anyone. It was not the first time he was ignoring her calls but that was because he felt rather u

There was one thing that he was thankful for and that was the fact that his father had trained him to kill and survive at the same time. He looked around him and when he saw that the fire was increasingly spreading towards him, he tumbled with the chair that he was tied to and he struggled to get his hands on a broken glass.When he finally got it, he started using it to slice through the rope. It took time for the glass to slice through the rope but when he saw that the fire was fast spreading, he was fast about the cutting, and soon, his hands untied so he got himself loosed and got up from the ground.He found a cloth and wrapped it over his head then he ran as fast as he could through the raging fire and before he got to the main road, the room had come down in flames. He didn't think anyone would survive in that kind of atmosphere but he did.Now, he was looking at the girl who deserted him when he was about to die, he had saved her from getting raped, saved her from kidnappers.

It wasn't wrong for her to continue with Martins and let go of her love for Philip but she thought it a betrayal for her to do so. She had never kissed a guy before and she didn't want Martins to be the first person to experience it.The only person she wanted was Philip but as Martins kissed her, she realized that he wanted her as much as she wanted Philip."Will you ever love me as you love Philip?" He said after he withdrew his lips from hers. He looked into her eyes and she couldn't reply to that question. He already knew the answer so he withdrew from her and sat down on the sofa."I hope you are not trying to play with my feelings, I am not someone you can use to forget another person." He said and she was hurt."I still love him," those words from Enya broke Martins' heart into a different thousand pieces.He never thought he could be so heartbroken and hurt. "Then you can as well leave. Maybe when you really want to be with me, you will let me know." He said.She got up from t

Enya went to Philip's house but he wasn't around, his car was packed yet there was no sign of him. She tried calling him, but the answer she got was that the number was unreachable at that moment.For a moment she wondered where he could be at that moment then she remembered that he used to go to sit down at the top of a particular roof whenever he was angry or tired. She drove her car to that building and stopped there.The building was furnished and new but it was still the same in her eyes. She took the stairs up to the roof and walked a distance before seeing him there, he was sitting on a cemented step while looking at the ground level even though he wasn't concentrating."You are not easy to find." She said and Philip turned to look at her as he sighed."Sometimes it's good to stay hidden," he said and diverted his attention somewhere else.She sat down beside him and took a look at him, she longed to see his face clearly as before."Why didn't you tell me that your mother was s

Philip hit the person in the face even though the room was dark and before he could get himself and turn the lights on, the room was empty. When he rushed to Sandra's room, she was lying down there unconscious."Sandra...." He managed to say as he held her face in his hands.He didn't know what happened to her but all he could see was that her clothes were torn from her body and she was half-naked. He only wished that what happened to her wasn't what he was thinking.The doctor confirmed that she was okay and awake so Philip went in to see her."Who were they?" He asked separating her hair from her face gently."I didn't see their faces....but they were three in number" she didn't want to say anymore, she was still suffering from the pain she had experienced last night."You don't need to say it...if you don't want to...""One of them raped me, the other took pictures and the third one knocked me out..." She said crying.There was silence for a long time between the two of them until s
