Philip stood up with the container and tucked it into his pocket, then he turned to look at Grey. He knew very well that Grey was against him from the beginning, maybe the fact that he had been seen with pills confirmed the suspicion, "Stay away from them, Philip." "Why?""Because I don't trust you. I don't care if they know you or if you kindly gave my mother a job. I don't care about any of that," Grey walked down the steps toward Philip with a solid frown. "Just stay away. We don't need you, and neither does Enya."The pills that Philip had taken seemed to make him rather aggravated than calm. He really hated the fact that he had to stand helplessly and listen to Grey giving reasons for him to stay away. "So your parents...are okay with your decision?" The last thing that Philip wanted to do was to start a meaningless quarrel. He didn't mind if his parents were happy and wanted him or not. All he wanted was peace in his life even if it meant staying away from people. "They don't
"What do you mean by that, Yen? I thought you said that everything was under control," Philip said."We had everything under control," Yen said, "But things have been going bad for us lately and the worst happened yesterday.""So what do you want me to do?""We need your help just this once," Yen said.Philip sighed and withdrew the phone from his ears, then he ended the call. If they needed his help then it must be very serious. Without wasting much time, he got into his car and drove away from the shop. **********Yen puffed out smoke from his mouth and the white substance floated in the air until it diffused. He thought about the days when Paul was very much around to take care of things. It was unfortunate for them to hear of his death and for the past two years, the killer of Paul had never been mentioned because there was no evidence to prove that someone killed Paul. They all assumed that he killed himself and that was where the matter ended. The only thing was that Philip was
Philip pulled his car to a stop in front of a coffee shop and got out. The weather was bright and sunny but he saw everything through his grey eyes as dark and gloomy. There was no joy in the world as far as he was concerned. It was impossible for him to run away from the things he had done so he decided it was best not to run away. It would be better if he accepted his fate and face his own challenges with firm eyes.Walking into the shop, he found a seat near the window and sat down there with a sigh. The fact he was alive still surprised him. Sinking inside his head, it felt as if he had been dead a long time but alive and walking. Someone walking inside the shop caught his attention and he turned his gaze toward that person. She was still as beautiful as ever and he guessed that she realized it. She stepped into the shop and turned to look in his direction. Their eyes met before he shifted his gaze toward the young lady serving coffee to another guy. All he wanted was to forget a
He stepped into the house with a knife as carefully as he could and looking around, he noticed how wet his feet were with the reddish liquid. His steps left red footprints behind as he walked to the sitting room with a sharpened knife. Knowing that someone was sitting on that couch, the young boy vertically lifted his knife, and just as he was about to stab the person, he discovered that it was a young girl.She stood up from the sofa and rested her blue eyes on him. Looking into those blue eyes sent shivers down his spine, it was one of those times for him when he knew that killing another child like him was beyond murder. His father had assured him that he would be unbeatable and distinct after killing. One thing that his father didn't tell him was that killing one person would cause the unsatisfied hunger to kill another.The young boy observed that the young girl was crying because of something she had seen and when he looked behind, his eyes widened in shock. Her parents were lyi
Three weeks later, final exams had finished and everyone was happy. Enya went back home for the summer with her parents. "How's Philip doing?" Her mother asked after their dinner. After hearing of Philip's traumatic experience, she had been checking up on him like a doctor. "He's fine...he has been coping well after his father's burial." Enya replied. "Have you had the chance to speak to him?" Her father asked. "No, he has been busy with exams and office work. Now that exams are over, he will be very busy with his father's company." "It's hard." Her father said. He couldn't imagine what Philip had passed through but he was grateful that Enya was there for him. Enya had missed Philip so immensely that she couldn't stop texting him every day and he never failed to reply to all her messages. Most times, they would speak through video calls for a long time. He always made time to speak with her even during office hours. She was very happy about the fact that he couldn't also stay wit
Philip drove his car at high speed, zooming through the cars and houses. He could hear Ryan's voice ringing in his head."Be careful, Grand is still dangerous."Philip was truly devastated and mentally fatigued at this moment. He wasn't thinking well but he knew that Olivia had to be saved from Grand's hands. He shouldn't have allowed her to go near Grand, that was his biggest mistake.Immediately, his phone rang and he picked it up after seeing that it was Enya's number."Enya, I don't have time for anything..." His head was aching with the need to think of how to rescue Olivia."Listen to me! Olivia called and it looks like she is in trouble." She said quickly. She was very much afraid for her best friend."When did she call?" He asked."Some hours ago...she wants you to know something about your father.""What about him?" Philip asked, now focusing on Enya's voice rather than the road."I heard his voice in the background with another man. Your father might have something to do wit
Final exams had started and everyone was on the run for his or her books. Philip was surprised that Olivia had not called him for almost a week. He had called her, texted her, and sent her voicemails, all to no avail.He wrote his exams for that day, drove to his apartment immediately, and made another call. Unfortunately, her phone was switched off this time which made it harder for him to concentrate or sit down.It became clear to him at that moment that Olivia was in danger. So he put a call across to Ryan who had helped him find Greg Burnes.Enya's phone rang noisily in the coffee shop, so she picked it up and answered it. She was shocked to hear Olivia's voice. She hadn't seen Olivia for two weeks. "Olivia...where are you? Our final exams..." Enya said but was interrupted by Olivia's urgent voice."Enya...please listen to me carefully.""Where are you?""Don't worry about me. I want you to pass this message across to Philip. He needs to know...""What message?" Enya asked, tryin
Philip picked up the call and it was the woman he had met that night. "Oh...I'm sorry. I didn't realize that you were the one." His mind was so occupied that he didn't recognize her voice at first. "I just called to accept the job offer...I hope it's still available." "It's still available." "So where do we...meet?" "The address is on the card I gave you. Just tell me when you will come and I will be there to receive you." "Do I need to bring...any qualifications?" "You look like an intelligent woman, so don't worry about qualifications." "Thank you." "No problem." "Uh...my husband would like to speak with you." "Okay." "Thank you for doing this for us...we are finding it hard to cope with some things now, so thank you." Her husband said. "My pleasure." Philip hung up and sighed. Somehow, he was disturbed about the issue of finding his biological parents. The issue had weighed him down so much. When Sandra and Enya were preparing the cake, Sandra brought up a topic that
A few days later, Philip got a call from one of the men working for his father, whose name was Ryan. "Yes, I have a final compilation of the result you might need...your father was in contact with a man called Greg Burnes...you might need to see the result yourself." "Okay. I will be there." Philip said and hung up immediately. He sighed and looked at his watch, it was thirty minutes to midnight. As Philip drove to meet the man, he got a call from Olivia. "Olivia." "Philip, I think you might know this person." "Who?" "I visited Martins and he told me that someone named Grand Foxx approached him and offered a deal." Philip's hands tensed on the wheel and his heart beat faster with anger. "You know him?" "What else did he say about Grand?" "He only said that Grand offered him a deal to cause you to harm in exchange for the money to cure his father's sickness. It's like Grand betrayed him after he was arrested...I plan to find him and disguise myself." "He will perceive tha
