“Are we really going to die?“ Talia asked, her whole body trembling in fear. But Wayne ignored her, instead Wayne began to clap his hands as it drew everyone's attention to him.“Bravo boy, bravo!“ Wayne kept clapping, Jeremy gave a confused expression, he had threatened the whole guest about the bomb that could kill them in a few minutes but all Wayne could do was to Clap.“How much dumber can you be huh? Tell me, because I don't think you have any idea who you think you're messing with, now let me take you back to the hotel, before I shot you, or whoever it was,” Wayne paused, turned to see the whole guest staring at him in bewilderment, then he continued.“When I came in contact with the man at the hotel, obviously everyone that sees you, knows you have a scar on your cheek, now Jeremy, I didn't find any scar on the man's face and every angle of his face was slightly different from yours. Of course not everyone would notice, but I did. And for that reason, I had to shoot him in a pl
“What do you think you're doing?“ Wayne asked.“I'm s—sorry sir, I'm so sorry, I got carried away,” Talia began to walk out on Wayne in shame. In a split second Wayne turned his direction to a figure who was watching them from afar, it was Amber.Ignoring Amber's sight, Wayne followed Talia behind.“Talia wait,” he dragged Talia back from living and then for a reason Wayne knew not about, without warning he slammed his mouth into Talia mouth and slowly, he kissed Talia.Talia couldn't believe what was happening to her, was Wayne really kissing her, was was she hallucinating again? The kissing na came intense and that was when Talia knew she wasn't dreaming. She would.have never imagined how good this felt, how Wayne lips made her whole body tingle, this feeling was never to be imagined. what if she hadn't taken this leap of faith, she wouldn't be tasting Wayne's soft lips. Gosh she didn't want to stop, she wanted this to go on, forever. Amber on the other hand gazed in bewilderment as
Talia woke up the next morning, she turned to her side but Wayne wasn't there, she could almost believe what she and Wayne had last night wasn't wasn't real and was only a dream if not for a note beside where she laid.She picked up the note with excitement, her heart racing as she read through it.“I WILL SEND YOU A DRIVER TO TAKE YOU TO THE AIRPORT, YOUR PLANE TICKET IS TAKEN CARE OF. WAYNE,” It wrote.Talia dropped the paper down, a sad expression flush through her face.“What was I expecting, I'm sure he just used me to get through the night,” she mumbled.Talai had hoped that the letter was maybe a complement of something better, but Wayne said nothing about last night, like it never even happened.*****MR COOPER AND MRS EMILIA.“We are going broke Emilia, Wayne had done such a terrible thing to this family, I think we should do something about this whole situation, in a few years this family we become penniless,” Mr Cooper rumbled.“What would you have us do? Amber let him into
“We found you on the streets, you were about three, according to the doctors calculations and since we wanted a child, we decided to bring you up as ours,” Mrs Laurette said to Amber.Amber was left dumbfounded, she had just found out that her biological parents didn't want her, and not just did not want her, they also abandoned her in the streets, Without taking her to the orphanage for proper adoption.“No this can't be true, you all are liars,” Amber ran out of the living room.“Baby!“ Mrs Laurette called.“Amber!“ Mr Oliver followed Amber behind.Mrs Laurette was about to go after her husband Mr Oliver, but something made her stop. She turned to Mr Cooper and his wife Mrs Emilia, from their expression, they were Shocked by the news.“This whole thing is all your fault, you caused this whole mess,” she pointed her finger at both of them.“We are so—sorry,” Mrs Emilia mumbled.“Sorry?“ Mrs Laurette wondered why they would be sorry, after hearing that Amber wasn't really adopted, M
“Amber,” Mrs Laurette mumbled.“What are you guys talking about? Or is there more I need to know?“ Amber lifted a brow.“Come take seat Amber,” Mrs Emilia instructed.“Mother, I don't think she should know yet, I'm not even sure that what you're saying is true, we haven't gotten deep into it,” Mrs Laurette said to Mrs Emilia.“What is it this time? and what is it you're hiding from me again? Aren't you guys tired of keeping secrets from me, aren't you all tired of hiding things I need to know? It's my life for crying out loud!“ Amber yelled, this made everyone shocked and the room became quiet.“Since you've asked to know the truth, here's what you need to know,” Mrs Emilia was about to speak, but Mrs Laurette cut her off again.“Look amber, pay no heed to what your granny has to say, she have never liked you, why would we believe what ever you say, Father,” Mrs Laurette turned to Mr Cooper who has been silent for a while.“Father, tell me what Mother is saying is not true, tell me th
“Ruby?“ Wayne said.“We'll you're right boss, I'm sorry I haven't reached out to you in a while. I had some cases to settle, but I'm fine now that everything is settled, how have you been?“ Ruby asked.“Well I'm good thank you,” Wayne responded.“How about the company? I heard the project is completed,” Ruby mumbled.“Oh, yes you're right, and we will be having an opening party by next week, I'm sure you'll be there,” Wayne said.“Yes I will, I definitely will be there, but I have a question,”“And what is it?“ Wayne asked.“Uh— I'm not trying to sound selfish in a way, but—uhh, will Talia be coming too?“ Ruby asked.“What sort of question is that?“ Wayne asked.“Please don't get me wrong boss, I just want to know,” Ruby mumbled.“Well I guess you have to see for yourself, do have a good day,” Wayne said then he hung up. Why did he react in such a way, just because Ruby asked if Talia was going to attend the opening party, does this mean Wayne is having a soft spot for Talia? Well…. w
“What! What do you mean by that?“ Aunt Matilda asked.“She ran out of the house once we told her that she is your daughter.“Oh gosh she must really hate me so much, I really need to see her, I need to apologise for all I have done,” While Aunt Matilda spoke, Mrs Laurette's phone began to ring. This made Aunt Matilda stop as they listened to the conversation.“Hello, who I'm I speaking with?” Mrs Laurette asked the caller.“Good day, I'm speaking with Mrs Laurette Cooper?“ The caller asked.“Yes, is there a problem?“ Mrs Laurette furrowed her brows.“I believe so ma'am,” “What do you mean?”“I am doctor Millian, your daughter got involved in a fatal accident that sadly took her life, I would send you the address to my hospital, I'm so sorry for your loss,” the doctor said as Mrs Laurette burst into laughter.“You must think I'm joking right? Hello, he—hello,” the doctor had already hung up.“No, no, this must be a joke,” Mrs Laurette mumbled.“Honey what's wrong?“ Mr Oliver asked, wh
The door to the small empty bar opened, the hinges of the weak door made a squeak because it was pushed too hard. Wayne was standing behind the bar cleaning a glass cup with a napkin, as soon as the men walked in, Wayne's shoulders slouched in fear. The men wore black coats and dark sunglasses. They had a leader who stood at the front and always did the talking, his name was Drex. “Hey old fool, where is my damn money!” he said walking up to Mr Jones. Mr Jones was standing behind the counter too and he owed these men a lot of money. They wanted their money back but Mr Jones didn't have it. Mr Jones was very poor and he had to go to the lengths of borrowing money from these gang men in order to save his business and put food on the table for both his son Wayne and himself. “ Drex, the deadline for the loan is not yet due. I do not have your money now.“ Mr Jones said, his shaky voice told Wayne how much trouble they were in, Wayne tightened his fist watching them closely. “Shut
