Chapter 97: Unexpected encounter.
Abigail had a deep frown expressed on her face. Her facial expression shifted between detest and surprise. She wasn't expecting to see Laurent there and she wondered why he was there, standing right before her table as if he was actually meant to be there.Her face twisted, clearly expressing detest. “What are you doing here?!" Anger simmers just beneath her voice.Laurent didn't respond. He took a step backward and diverted his gaze to his phone, his heart brewing with confusion, wondering if he was at the wrong spot.He tapped on the screen and put a call across to the number again.His eyes shifted to Abigail's phone which buzzed on the table. He lowered the phone and exhaled deeply, his eyes lifting up. “You're Lana's Granddaughter?" Abigail scoffed and rolled her eyes, her attitude expressing disgust.“Yes and...” She paused looking at him from head to toe. “.. you're the kind man he talks so good about, huh?” She said, sarcasm laced in her voice.Laurent kept his phone and nod

Chapter 96: Whispers and wine.
Clara sniffed.Tears slipped from her eyes, rolling down on her cheek and tickling on the photograph. Staring at the photograph reminded her of a painful past she had tried to forget but the memories kept coming. She hugged the photograph to comfort herself yet the tears didn't stop rolling down from her eyes.The guy in the picture was her boyfriend who promised her marriage when he returned from a business trip but unfortunately, he had a gruesome car accident on his way which took his life.The news hit Clara like a bomb, tearing her heart apart. The shock of the news made her collapse and lost consciousness. She woke up in the hospital.The incident happened 2 years ago but she couldn't get over his death. It was fresh in her memory as if it happened just yesterday.Two years of not seeing the man she loves dearly.Two years of emptiness and pain but when she saw Laurent earlier, something stirred at the depth of her heart- a deep feeling she had buried long ago.The screeching
Chapter 95: Clara.
Laurent walked to the window of the room with the phone glued to his ear. The transparent window offered an astonishing view of the city with lights twinkling distantly like Stars in the sky.He brushed his hair backward. “Who is on the line." He asked, his voice steady but firm.Meaning at Lana's apartment, Abigail also stood at the window of her room, the gentle cool breeze that sweeps in through the window brushed against her face making some slings of her hair fall on her face. She tucked the hair behind.She wore a transparent red night wear though which one could see her white underwear if viewed from behind.She was actually on call with Laurent, the kind man who her grandmother introduced as Marcus.She smiled sheepishly, as if skeptical about replying to Laurent on the call, her anxiety evidence from the way she twisted her hair.“Hi..” She said and paused as if the words were forced out of her mouth.The phone was on a loud speaker so anyone would hear their conversation.B
Chapter 94: Devil and blue sea
Laurent was trapped between the devil and the blue sea. If he should take a step out of the place to escape from the venom of the snake, the man is going to shoot him dead instantly and if he had to kill the snake, there is no way the man won't hear the sound and consequently, he'll be caught and shot dead.Grasses scratches louder in his ear as the man approaches closer, his gun raised in readiness.The man had his back turned to him as he kept scanning the place. He is just a breath away from Laurent's hiding place that if he should turn slightly, he'll see Laurent.Laurent trapped his neck with his elbow and pinned him. Then he snapped his neck.Creak!His brone dislocated and he fell into unconsciousness.Laurent carefully dropped the body on the floor so as not to make any slight noise.The snake jumped on his back and bite him on the neck.“Ahhh.." Laurent cried out. His voice echoed in the forest and before he could suppress the sound, it attracted the attention of the other m
Chapter 93: Out of the secret basement
The hot bullet went straight into the cat's head. Mid-air, the cat dropped dead on the floor with a dull thud. Blood splashed on the floor.Laurent stared at the dead cat and spat. “Bloody cat!" He looked around the horrible place, scanning for a way out.“I need to get out of here." He said, holding the gun in his hand and walking out of the kitchen.He walked into another room to see different species of snakes swimming in a tude of water.His face twisted with disgust “Jezz!!" He closed the door and walked out immediately.Laurent took a heavy breath looking frustrated in the secret underground. It looks like he is trapped here and the only and last thing he might have to do is going back though the hole that leads to the hospital which means he'll have to encounter the men.A low roaring sound cut off his train of thoughts. He held his gun tightly, looking around in the silence.The silence was deafening and a pin drop would be heard if it actually fell on the floor.Roar!Lauren
