Episode 38
Written by Humble Smith
Anne’s POV continues
“Arrrggg!!!” I heard Sophia’s voice squealed through the building..
I opened my eyes which I had shut all this while only to see Sophia lying on the floor writhing in pain..
“How did you came in between at this very moment.. what brought you here!!!” The guy gritted as he helped her to the car..
What just happened???
I asked myself as I gazed at them transfixed…
“Anne let’s go” I heard Jeremy’s voice from behind.
I turned and hugged him tightly
“What happened??” I asked with tears rolling freely down my cheeks
“Sophia saved you” he said and I shuddered
“I don’t get you??” I asked and he held my shoulder
“Let’s get out of here quickly, I’ll explain everything later” he said and took my hand as we ran through another route, we got to his car and zoomed off..
I couldn’t say anything at all, I feel empty, the thought that I would have been dead few minutes ago made me feel giddy..
I glanced at Jeremy and found him driving meticulously with his gaze straight..
I opened my mouth to start asking questions but I remembered he said it would be later so I hushed and rested my head on the headrest tiredly…
My mind went wild in thought, I keep thinking hærdly on where I saw that face before, that guy that wanted to shoot me looks familiar.. I kept thinking hærdly until it struck my mind..
He is a new student in Royal Hill High School…
My mouth went agape immediately…
“Jeremy do you know that guy that tried shooting me??” I asked quickly and he shook his head..
“He is that new student in our school remember??” I asked and he sighed..
“Anne, he is more of that…” He breathed and I arched my brow
“What??”
“That guy is an assassin sent by Sophia’s father” he said and my eyes w¡dened in shock..
“Don’t tell me that???.. how did her father knew?? Sophia reported me right?” I asked and he shook his head
“That was what I thought, but I have just knew she isn’t the one, Drake was the guy who pulled that stunt” he stated and my heart flipped..
“Don’t just tell me you are serious, Drake did it???” I scre-med and shut my eyes tightly trying to understand the wh0le thing.
“Is there anything going on between the both of you?” He asked glancing at me with a strange expression,
“He wants me to leave you” I sighed and buried my head in my palm
We both drove into his mansion and I trudged in slowly and tiredly
He held my palm softly and drew me closer to his body
“This could just be the beginning, it is bound to get worst, be careful I’ll never be able to bear losing you, you mean everything to me, I bet you, I would rather die than let you suffer” he purred in a slow and soft tone that touched my heart..
“So I’m no longer safe right?” I asked and he nodded
“When would it end? When would we be together without any transgressions? When? Please tell me?” I asked with tears rolling freely down my cheeks,
“In no distant time, I pray” he said and hugged me tightly,
🥰 Richærd’s POV 🥰
I sat patiently on an empty seat waiting for the so-called guy who called me, the restaurant was almost filled up,
“Hello man” I heard a voice called out and I looked up to find a strange face looking at me with a smile, I guess he is the guy who called me..
“You are already here?” He asked and smiled
“Yeah, so make things clear to me” I coaxed anxiously
“I have your daughter in my possession, I think you have really longed to see her for a long time” he said and I nodded
“Well… I’ll give her to you only if you agree with the deal I would strike” he said and I arched my brow
“I’m with your daughter you know, what other deal are we striking other than giving each other his real daughter” I said peering at him..
“That’s what you think..let me make it clear to you man.. you are with my daughter doesn’t mean I’ll give you your daughter in exchange of mine, unless you are ready to pay the amount I say out, I’m not handing your daughter to you, if you try reporting, I’ll show the video to the cops, you would be charged for that you know??” The guy said sternly,
I guess he doesn’t know how much I want my daughter, I’m even ready to pay any amount…
“If I pay the money to you, I’m I going to hand your daughter to you?” I asked and he chuckled softly
“Don’t try using my daughter as a bulwark, I don’t need her… Are you ready to pay??” He said and I shrugged
“Go on with the price” I said and he smiled
“You are paying the sum of 3.5 million to my account” the guy said and I giggled
“I guess you had really being in misfortune, you would have really gone through many things, I’m giving you the money right here, it means nothing to compare to my daughter” I said and brought out my phone…
“Give me your account number” I beckoned and he did it quickly
I transferred the sum of 7.5million to his account and I saw how shaken he became..
“That is a token of appreciation for not killing my daughter” I said and he smiled widely with his eyes filled with glee..
“Thank you sir” he said out when he got his speech
“Where can I find her?” I asked
“I’m sending her to you tomorrow” he said and I nodded
“Let me place my trust in you” I said lowly and walked away…
Sophia’s POV
I lay on the bed fuming at Steve..
“How dare you shoot at me!!” I snarled glaring badly at him..
“I’m sorry, it was unintentionally, how could you come in at that moment when I just pulled the trigger” he huffed plopping down on the sofa beside the bed where I lay
“So you were about killing her right?” I asked and he stared at me stonily
“Just stop asking me silly question, you just spoiled my first attempt” he gruffed
“You are a fool! My father said you should bring her alive and you wants to kill her, what do you mean?” I yelled and he rolled his eyes
“She made me run a long distance, I’ve no choice than taking that decision, that’s how my anger is” he said and brought out his phone..
“So if you had killed me with your bullet, what would you say ugh?” I asked with a stern face
“Can you just stop talking, just stop talking, I’ve other things to think of!!” He gruffed and rolled his eyes at me..
“Steve” I called out sitting up..
“What is it?” He said dryly
“Do you have emotion?” I asked and he arched his brow
“What sort of question is that?” He asked
“You don’t seem to have pity, you are cute but your heart is as ugly as the devil” I stated and he stared at me
“Do you know who I am?” He asked
“You are an assassin..yes..but..that is not what you born with, you must have turned into this due to something that happened in your past you don’t look like a true assassin, you are like someone who was once a nice guy, your appearance is so great..why…”
“Sophia I don’t know what you are saying.. I don’t even get a damn..I am still in this room just because you are wounded and I have to take a good care of you because of your father, if not, I would have left here for a long time” he huffed and rolled his eyes again
“Do you know you look charming when ever you roll your eyes, you don’t know right?” I said and he huffed
“Sophia, are you trying to flatter me or what?” He growled
“Whether you believe it or not, you look so cute and handsome that ladies would spend their wh0le day drooling over you” I said and he chuckled
“So are you trying to tell me indirectly that you are crushing on me” he said with a sarcastic tone
“You are the one crushing on me and you know that, you are just hidding it, say it out and stop pretending” I said aloud with a chirp voice
“If that’s what you think, then just know it would be your biggest dream because I can’t fall in love with an ugly girl like you” he spitted and I bursted into a hysterical laughter
“Owwwwn, I love your type, your voice is full of irony, you wants to say I’m beautiful, there is no doubt, I can see it in your eyes” I said peering at him,
He quickly went to the mirror and checked his eyes thoroughly,
“What is in my eyes? Stop saying gibberish girl” he said with a sigh
“When you are ready to say out your feeling you make me know, I guess you are a shy guy” I said with a giggle
“Guff!” He cursed
“Whatever…so..”
“Must we talk, is it a must that we would be discussing, make here a silent zone” he gruffed
“I can’t.. I’m a talkative” I said
“Then I think I would be leaving” he said and stood up
I stared at him as he made to leave, he was reluctant like he doesn’t want to leave, he reached the door and paused..
“I’m not leaving, you may hurt yourself and your father would hold me responsible, your plan would not work!” He said and sat back on the couch…
“I guess you love staying with me?” I said laughing softly incurring a deadly glare from him…
“Stop flattering yourself girl!!” He growled and looked away
“Are you still going to kill Anne?” I asked and he turned at me sharply..
“You love that girl right?” He said peering at me
“Whatever…”
“Do you want me to kill her??” He asked
“No don’t…” I replied quickly
“Why??” He asked
“She is Innocent” I said and he giggled
“The world is not about being Innocent, the Innocent soul are the one that keeps dying in pain, innocence doesn’t count” he said and I cringed
“Why did you say that word” I asked
“That she is Innocent doesn’t make her elude death but it would make her more vulnerable” he said slowly
“That’s a lie!!!!” I scre-med at him
“That is the same thing I said when I was told, not until I experience it, I am a victim so I don’t doubt it” he said with his eyes drawned like he would shed tears, his countenance showed that something was really hurting him
“Can you tell me that thing eating you up, I know you have a past secret that led you into all this” I said and walked up to him..
His head was sagged downward, I sat beside him and held his hand softly,
“Please go back to the bed” he pleaded
“I want to seat closely with you” I said softly and he turned sharply at me..
“Have you gone nut!!!” He asked surprisedly
“If you can defeat your past, your present would have been better” I said and he took a deep breath…
“Sophia, I’m not a normal human, I’m an assassin and I don’t have feeling, don’t try making me weak” he said
“Do you like what you have become” I asked and he sighed
“Why are you asking me all this??” He said staring at my face
“It’s because I want you to be free, I want you to be like other guy” I said
“It’s impossible!” He said dryly
“It is possible if only you want it to be” I said and he chuckled
“Even if I want, it can’t happen, it can’t” he said and stood up..
I stood up also and stood closely to him..
“Steve you want to fall in love but you can’t because you have loss all hope, but it isn’t late” I cooed..
“Just get off, stop fooling yourself, if you are crushing on me keep on, I can never show you any feeling!!” He gruffed
“You can’t show me but it is there, you don’t need to show me, i already know” I said and he turned to leave…
“Steve!” I called him
“Yes” he replied without turning to me..
“Come and lead me to the bed, I need to rest” I said and he sighed
“How did you came down, go back the same way you came” he said dryly
“Then I’m reporting to my dad that you aren’t doing your job, infact, I’m telling him that you shot at me, you know what that means right??” I said and he turned to me,
Sluggishly, he walked to me and held my arm,
I wrapped it round his shoulder then rested my head in his shoulder,
The wound was on my left shoulder..
“Carry me in a bridal way to the bed” I said and he gruffed
“Must I…”
“Don’t give any excuse” I instructed and he obeyed and carried me..
Just then, I brought his head closed and k-ssed him unexpectedly…
