Chapter: 10| Bonafide¤¤¤¤“People go through so much pain trying to avoid pain.”- Neil Strauss¤¤¤¤✨❄️✨Henry stopped at the entrance to the gents, and called out to Daniel, “Daniel?”Inside, Daniel had his nose buried into a piece of paper. Hearing Henry’s voice made him to look up from what he was snuffing as he faced the door.“C’mon kid, open the door,” Henry begged.Reluctantly, Daniel staggered to the door – the effect of the drug already evident on him – and pulled the door open.Henry’s eyes widened on seeing the state Daniel was in, and his jaw fell on noticing the rolled out paper on the wash sink.“What are you doing kid?”Daniel ignored hi

Chapter: 9| Innuendo¤¤¤¤“Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”- Marie Curie¤¤¤¤✨❄️✨He paced thro and fro, as various thoughts ran wild in his head. The mall had the very best of security, and there was no way any of the footages from the cameras could get stolen.Even if one of his customers had been the one who had videotaped the fight, they would have not been able to get away without any of the staffs and security knowing.The phone bleeped again, and Daniel shot his eyes to the screen – it was a call from his personal assistant, and he picked up instantly.“Tell me,” He said.From the other end, came a slightly rushed voice of his P.A, which always had a faint Spanish accent.

Chapter: 8| I'm sorry¤¤¤¤“If you had the guts to do something, anything, then you better save enough to face the consequences.”- Criss Jami.¤¤¤¤✨❄️✨○○At about 3am, Club Elite◎◎The guys were oozed out from excessively drinking and partying the night away. They were all whooshed out, and they looked exhausted at their table. The background music played quietly, and the disco still hopped with several colors.The day to the VIP arena came open, and a young lady walked in. Her eyes danced around the room, and paused on sighting the guys.A small smile tugged on her red lips, and she strutted to them. She was tall with exceptionally long and straight legs. Her ebony skin flowed down her curvy seductive sha

Chapter: 7| Afterwards¤¤¤¤“If you had the guts to do something, anything, then you better save enough to face the consequences.”- Criss Jami.¤¤¤¤✨❄️✨Her agonized yell resounded throughout the whole house, and Daniel covered his ears with his palms as they throbbed to hear her aloud curses.He despised hearing a woman curse, and he also had been an advocate against the abuse of women, but he had just followed in the steps of the men he had once hated. He had hit her, and he deserved every single curse word she uttered against him.It was wrong to hit a woman, no matter what might have fueled his anger; he had no right to hit her. He had been enraged upon seeing her with that man, and his anger had blinded him from seeing where his actions were leading him to.

Chapter: 6| Hero or Villain¤¤¤¤"For every wound there is a scar. And every scar tells a story. A story that says: I survived."¤¤¤¤✨❄️✨This story doesn't support violence against women, but this part was added purely for the advancement of the story. Please, don't be violent towards anyone!¤¤¤¤The following day, Derin awoke to the beautiful sunlight rays that entered her room and reflected unto her face, waking her and, letting her know that the day had broken. She sat up on her bed and was about standing, when her wandering eyes landed on a blue jacket note pad, with the words "Diary in poetry". She smiled as she picked it up, her eyes l

Chapter: 5| Nice to meet y*u.¤¤¤¤"I want you to know that I fell in love with you when we first met, as you got my heart already. So, baby, once again, nice to meet you." - Daniel L.C. Hartley.¤¤¤¤❄️✨❄️Awakening on the bed, Daniel glanced. He had no idea how he managed to get to his room, and remove his shoes?Definitely, he knew he wasn't capable of taking off his shoes properly, even when he was sober, more or less in his tipsy state.The last he could recall was gulping down his seventeenth jug of beer at Jonas weekend party. Of course, Jonas would not fail to make him loose a bet and have to jug down tens of beer.He had lost a bet on a football match, and his payment was to jug down fifteen pegs, but he had gone all the way to seventeen."Damn

Chapter: ~Twenty~Keeping his hands straight on the wheel, Daniel drove through the dark road as they approached the outskirts of the city.His thoughts were directed towards the meeting with the abductors – and as much as he tried to remain brave – his heart kept racing in his chest.Seated at Daniel’s side, was Bayo who kept looking out of the window – his hands clenching and unclenching as he placed them on his laps. While Lake continuously muttered words but this was incoherently too low for the others to hear.Everyone was lost in the oceans of their thoughts, but one thing remained obvious – they were all heading into a war which their chances of survival were dangerously low.They were tensed. They were anxious.This was a crazy idea. Planning to fool the masters in their own game was very stupid, but here they were, doing exactly

Chapter: ~Nineteen~Daniel’s jeep approached the huge black gate of the hospital. From afar, he noticed the vans of the men from the army parked at the side of the hospital’s wall. His brows snapped together, as he drove into the hospital.Looking around, Daniel could tell that something was very odd, and he couldn’t shake off the cold feeling that crept through his bones.On alighting from his car, after parking it under the garage canopy, he turned to the huge building, and saw Bayo hurriedly walk out – looking very unkempt and bothered.Daniel further noticed that he had several bruises on his arms, upon walking closer to him.“What’s going on?” Daniel asked.Bayo spun around – his eyes widen on seeing Daniel, and he coupled this up with his quizzical question, “You are here?”

Chapter: ~Eighteen~With a huge gasp, Daniel teared him eyes open – this was just in time – as a moving carriage moved towards him, and he immediately jumped out of its’ way.“Whoa!” He exclaimed – his eyes popped out.Despite the fact that he had almost hit a human, the carriage driver continued on without sparing Daniel a second glance.Daniel dusted his outfit – cussing under his breath. Why do people still drive without their eyes on the road?Then, instantly, his eyes froze.Did he just see a cart?Do people still drive those things in this century?Besides, the driver looked like an Englishman, and the entire surrounding was quite alien.Glancing around, Daniel noticed that it wasn’t just one cart, but there were several moving around the dusty road.

Chapter: ~Seventeen~Stroking her hair, Bayo watched Derin as she slept beside him. They had been discussing the trends – just about anything to take her mind off the incidence –when she began to yawn, and soon fell into a long slumber.He was sitting up on the small-sized clinical bed, enclosed with Derin – who snuggled up to him.He hated to see her hurt – both her and Bimpe. They were both the only true friends he had ever had – they were the one who truly understood him, and he in turn, understood them.The only thing he had failed to understand was the feeling that had developed in him towards Derin. He cared for her, and he desired to always have her around himself, but he just never found the guts to tell her this. His fear was at the thought of getting rejected, and losing her friendship.However, after the demise of her parents, he still

Chapter: ~Sixteen~Daniel blinked rapidly as Bayo’s words echoed in his ears, but he could not wrap his mind around Bayo’s revelation. He faced Bayo, and laughed once.“Do you think I’ll ever believe that my sister and my best friend are behind the slander?” Daniel asked amidst his laughter – almost chocking in the process – but, Bayo kept his face stone serious.“I wouldn’t accuse anyone if I did not have enough prove to back it up,” Bayo responded.Daniel folded his arms in front of his chest, “Oh, let’s have your proof.”Bayo eyed him, and sighed – ignoring Daniel’s disbelief. “I got suspicious after our fight in the supermarket got leaked to the public, but after watching your failed briefing, I knew something was awfully wrong,” He paused.“The p

Chapter: ~Fifteen~The lights around them flashed, as Daniel held her in his arms, and Dolapo noticing that his cousin had passed out, crouched beside Daniel.“We need to get her out of here,” Dolapo stated.Daniel nodded, and instantly hoisted her up into his arms – just as he hoped – the army had arrived and were making their way through the cluster of cameras and people.Sighing, he muttered, “About time.”To clear the crowd, the army fired warning shots into the air – this caused the reporters to draw back.The crowd cleared away quickly as the army paved way for Daniel, with Derin in his arms, and Dolapo to get into Daniel’s car. With one reverse, he drove out of the premises of the diner – the army following closely.???
