    Blood – Episode 35




    26th June

    AIT Discussion Topic: Zeus visits UN again
    AIT representative speaking to Honorable Minister of Defense Dr. Danjuma Aliyu and Senator Sani Rafiu
    AIT: Honorable, his visit was cordial
    Hon. Danjuma: Yes it was cordial but for a man like this to visit the UN a second time, that means he has something in mind
    AIT: Something like what?
    Hon. Danjuma: A revolution
    AIT: Senator, do you agree?
    Senator Sani: We didn’t really know what his mission was because the meeting was private but we know that the meeting was with the security council of UN and all five permanent members were present.
    I believe that for this man Zeus to seek the attention of such international body, then he has indeed gone strong and I do not know what he plans
    AIT: Honorable why do you say a Revolution?
    Hon. Danjuma: Isn’t it obvious, Zeus has been able to convince Nigerians that he can bring down the government
    AIT: Honorable, he didn’t say he would bring down the government
    Hon. Danjuma: Of cause he did, somebody who said that the government had failed. He also said he can bring the change they want and how would he do it if not to bring down the government and install himself as a new one
    He has killed some government officials which we all know off and who know what he would do in the future
    AIT: So what are you suggesting?
    Hon. Danjuma: Something must be done fast or else he would be sitting as the president soon; the president has not been able to travel for some time now because he has had people stop all government officials from leaving the country, do you think that is not a serious case?…
    27th June
    House of Representative Premises, Abuja
    Four big coaches enters the premises and youths carrying rods and sticks and machetes march out the buses and filled the place but security men with guns stopped them but then two military lorries entered the compound and soldiers alighted from within and opened fire on the security men and killed them all and the soldiers proceeded into the building while the youths stood outside
    Not long a black SUV came into the compound followed by a black hummer jeep and a white range rover; Zeus stepped out the SUV with General Abayomi; the youths started cheering and chanting
    “Zeus!!!”
    “Hail Zeus the Great”
    “Hail Zeus the Great!”
    Zeus smiled at them and waved at them as he walked into the building with General Abayomi, Luke, Hades, Evil Spirit and Drummer. The youths were eager to kill and they looked angry…
    Zeus entered into the hall where there was silence everywhere, he then walked down the stairs
    “God morning our esteemed Legislooters” he said loudly as he walked down towards the Senate board as others followed behind. He then smiled as he got to the front of the senate President’s table and then bowed and turned left and climbed up a platform to meet the Senate president
    “What is going on here? What is the meaning of all these?” the senate president asked; two soldiers lifted the president off the seat and dropped him on the ground. Zeus sat down on the cahir
    “Thank you” he said and his voice echoed every where because of the mic on the table, he then crossed his legs on the table with his hands at the back of his head
    “What a comfortable chair; no hard wood or nail under your butts” soldiers were everywhere, up and down with guns and some moved amongst the audience. Zeus then dropped his legs and put his hand on the table and adjusted the mic
    “Where is the speaker of the house?” he asked loudly
    “That’s him there sir” one soldier said pointing to him
    “Stand up” the soldier ordered and the man stood up
    “Now let me… what is the meaning of this? How dare you come into a governmental gathering with such audacity and cause nuisance? Who do you think you are? This is madness and cannot be…” one of the Senators interrupted rudely but a hot slap landed on his face before he could finish and another soldier hit a gun on his head and he fell down; they started beating him and kicking him and there was murmuring in the house.
    “Silence please” Zeus said and they kept quiet; the soldiers beat him to death
    “What’s his state?” Zeus asked
    “Dead sir” the soldier replied
    “So where was I” Zeus asked as he turned to the house
    “The list” Luke said
    “The list, thank you” Zeus said as he banged the table and pointed at Luke; Zeus walked down the platform
    “General please I don’t want you standing, go sit over there” Zeus said as he referred him to the SP’s seat
    “Where is the speaker I called” Zeus asked
    “I am here sir” he said and ran to Zeus
    “Do you know why I called you?”
    “No sir”
    “Because I want you to do your duty” Zeus said and collected a file from Hades and handed it to him
    “you are going to read out to the house” Zeus said; he looked at the maze on the platform
    “Isn’t that the maze of authority?” he said as he walked to it
    “Where’s the sergeant of the House” Zeus asked and a man raised his hand
    “pick up the maze and come here” he said and the man obeyed and Zeus collected it
    “Now you all listen, I am holding the maze so my rule is that you can’t speak until I ask you to” Zeus said, he looked behind him and saw cameras
    “O I forgot, this is a public broadcast”
    “I hope everything is been shown live” Zeus asked and the camera men replied
    “Yes sir”
    “Thank you”
    “Now speaker please read from the manuscript” Zeus said and the speaker walked to his table and adjusted the mic
    “Skip the greetings and read the content”
    “Ok sir” he replied and started
    “These are the names of all the…” he paused
    “What happened?” Zeus asked
    “If you stop, I will shut you down and appoint a new speaker” Zeus threatened…
    People all over Nigeria had turned on their TV set to watch what was happening in the house; everything was happening live, some people called their persons in various places and told them to check what was happening on their TV set. It was not just happening in Nigeria but some countries were watching…

    EVE

    Episode 22




    *Alberto’s point of view*

    “Tell me! Where is James?” I asked angrily for the seventh time.
    But the man who was strapped to a chair and was being tortured by me wasn’t answering me.
    “Fu- f–k you” He managed to say, coughing out blood from his mouth.
    He was one of James men. And i took him for questioning. But he wouldn’t talk. There are other ways to make him talk.
    We were in my torture room and i was going to make him bleed. All for my Eve. I would kill everyone to know where she was. I already had seven me n bloods on my hands.
    And i would still keep killing just to get her back. I would f—–g kill anyone who knew James.
    For one and a half month now Eve had been with that monster. Who knew what he had done to her .That demon was going to pay for all he had done to me and my beloved wife.
    He was going to pay. I would cut off his balls and feed it to him. I would pluck out his eye balls and shove it up his a-s.
    I was going to make him bleed. I would give him the most horrible death ever.
    No one touches Eve. No one takes her away from me. Not James not anyone.
    “You don’t want to tell me where James is. Dont worry i have a plan set for you” I smiled, making him scared.
    I picked up a device just like a prong. And put his little finger between it and clipped it shut. His little finger fell to the floor as i detached it from his hand.
    His screams filled my ears and i smiled. His pain made me satisfied. I was happy. His pains and screams were my joy.
    “Where is James?” I asked again.
    “Please, i swear i dont know” He said, screaming loudly.
    “Wrong answer buddy” I patted him and picked up the device. Putting his ring finger in between it.
    “Please…I swear i dont know..Please” He begged.
    “I believe you” I said, clipping his finger, it cut off and fell to the ground and he screamed, begging me to stop but i didnt listen.
    I did it for his middle finger, his index finger and h is thumb.
    In a few minutes, all his fingers on his left hand was on the floor. All his fingers cut off. But i wasnt done yet.
    Anyone who knew about James whereabout was going to die if they didnt tell me.
    “Pl….Pl…please…I swear ..i dont know” He said, tears dropping from his eyes. He was in agony, pain.
    So was Eve. Eve was also in pain.
    “You see. I dont really believe you. You are James best friend, Fernando and if anyone knows about him it is you. Where is he?”
    “I dont know” He said.
    I picked up the device and went to the second hand. Putting his finger in it, i clipped off the little finger.
    Fernando cursed, screamed and trashed all over the place. Blood seeped through his finger and he screamed in deep pain.
    I picked his next finger and clipped it off too. “James has my wife. My sweet wife Eve. She means the world to me and i would kill to get her back”
    Fernando didnt reply, he was crying for the amount of pain i was causing him.
    I clipped of the middle finger and the index then the thumb. By now Fernando was already loosing consciousness.
    I called one of my men and he poured a bucket of water on his head causing him to regain consciousness.
    “How long would you do this Alberto” He asked, dropping the bucket on the floor. “You have already killed seven of James men. Do you want to have much blood on your hands?”
    “I would create a massacre for Eve. I would f—–g kill all of James men to get Eve back!” I screamed at him and facing Fernando.
    “Where is James?”
    He didnt reply, instead he just spat blood on the floor. I picked ten metals like the size of a pen and put it in his finger. Piercing it one by one into his hand as his fingers. I coiled wires to each of the metals and pressed a switch.
    Each of those metals were connected to a wire which was connected to a power surge so when i put on the power, current, electricity passed through it and into his body.
    Fernando jerked in his chair as he was being electrocuted. His teeth was clenched.
    His fist was tightly closed. His viens bulged out as his face turned red. He was in serious pains. His hand drained the blood in him.
    He continued jerking in pains. His bones, tissue, organ, system, cells, muscles and nerves shoot violently as he reacted to the high voltage passing through him.
    If there was anything my father taught me well was knowing how to torture to get answers. He taught me not to feel sympathy for anyone and i remembered it all. All the rules.
    The monster my father made me was back. I was going to get Eve back no matter who i had to kill.
    I switched off the electricity supply and Fernando body fell. He was calm, free from the shock. He breathed heavily. His eyes red, very red. Dark circles covered his eyes. His body pale.
    “P…ple…please…st..sto..stop” He chocked.
    “I would stop as soon as you tell me where Eve is ” I said, squatting in front of him and holding his face so he was staring at me.
    He looked away, still not talking. This time i switched on the electricity and increased the voltage to the highest.
    Fernando body started jerking again. And i watched. There was no sympathy in my eyes. Instead i felt pleasure in my veins. Anyone who was with James was considered my enemy.
    I had already wasted one and half month trying to regain my memory. And now i had finally gotten it but Eve was no where found. I was not going to let anyone who knew James go scot free.
    They would all pay. Anyone who knew James was going to get whats coming to them.
    I wouldnt stop. I wont stop until i had Eve in my hands again. I was going to kill any motherfucker who knew about them.
    Seven were already dead. Fernando would make it eight. And the number would keep counting till i found Eve.
    I was going crazy, i was going insane every passing moment Eve was not here. I needed her. I needed her to survive. I missed her voice.
    I would do anything to have her back.
    Fernando’s body kept jerking and i switched it off . Coming closer to him i asked again.
    He was breathing heavily, blood gushing out of his nose. His face almost white. His veins showed and his hand was battered.
    “I would keep on going Fernando until you tell me where they are”
    He didnt look up. He still wasnt ready to talk. And i wasnt ready to let him go.
    “As you wish” I said going back to put on the switch.
    “Wait” He said, i almost couldnt hear him. I turned back to him. “James and the girl are in his cabin, downtown. The cabin he goes to with his dad y ears back”
    Finally, i smiled. The cabin. I knew it. James had showed he the cabin a few times. It was about a few hours drive from here.
    I laughed. Finally i was going to get back my queen. My angel.
    I took out my gun and pointed it at Fernando. “No. Please. I told you where they were”
    “I know, thanks for that” I pulled the trigger and the bullet hit his brain, blood smerged on the wall and his body fell limp. Dead.
    But that was the least of my worries.
    I knew where Eve was. I knew where James was. That mother was going to get whats coming to him.
    Poor James, I was going to kill him in the most horrible, violent way.
    And my sweet Eve. I was going to have her back. Her smile, body, heart and soul was going to be mine again.

    Dont worry darling, your saviour is coming.

    Emerald decide to ask about Kane.

    “Mom… how about Mr Kane, can I get a chance to say goodbye to him before we travel out…I don’t know when I will get to see him again…I also want to say goodbye to Aunty Helen too…I will miss them all…can I?

    “A big No for Kane but a Yes for Helen… Kane must not know that we are traveling…I don’t want him to know Emerald… but Helen is fine…you can speak to her over the phone…or you can call her with the house line… and also doctor Kate… I may not be able to drive down to their side today or tomorrow except if Helen comes down…but speaking to Kane is not allowed…do you understand me…

    “Yes Mom…bu…but why can’t we say goodbye to Mr Kane…. that’s not fair Mom…he will…

    “Shhhhh… I don’t want to hear another word about Kane… and don’t you ever tell me what is fair and what is not fair…you will do as I say… do you understand me.. Emerald?

    “Yes Mom… I’m sorry…I will do as you say..

    Olivia hard a knock and went to answer the door and it was doctor Mark.

    Olivia was not happy to see him and she did not hide her feelings as Mark came inside.

    ” Mark…you do not just go to people’s houses without informing them first…you could have called first to let me know… then if I’m free to see you I will let you know…I don’t like you coming and going as you like…I don’t like it…

    “I’m sorry Olivia, but if I have called you first before coming you would have told me that you are either busy or unavailable…I needed to see you urgently…

    “So…what is it that is so urgent… and hope this is not about the last time concluded topic on relationship…I have made myself clear enough that I do not want a relationship, I told you already tha ..

    “Olivia… Olivia I know you made yourself clear enough and I respect that but you need somebody like me in your life…I have known you for years, even before you gave birth to Emerald and before going into a relationship with Kane…your parents murderer and a rapist.. I have known…

    ” Mark, do you really need to be this stupid…how can you mention such thing so freely…and do you know that my daughter is inside… That was irrelevant. calling out Kane wasn’t necessary…why do you have to so insensitive… I’m not going to take any form of insult from you… please leave…

    “Why are you defending him, all what I said was all true Olivia, Kane almost killed you after killing your parents..he is the stupid and insensitive one Olivia…I have always wanted you…all this long years all i did was to wait and hope Just maybe you will be mine…I have already giving up any chance of having you until your fight with Kane began then I knew that at the end you will become mine… Olivia please you have to reconsider…I have tried… You are the answer to the question why I’m still not married… what can I do to prove to you that you are my missing ribs…why are you being so hard on me…I may not give you all what Kane gave you… because my father is not so wealthy neither is he a senator like Kane’s father who stole government money before old age caught up with him and he was forced to stepped down from the senatorial seat…no, my father was upright man who worked hard for his every dime before he died…and I worked hard for my every dime too… I don’t depend on my father for anything rather my father depends on me and my elder brother who cared for him during his days on earth…so I’m not like Kane who happens to be “daddy’s little spoilt brat” who got away with all his criminal offences just because of bribe and corruption in this society… I’m not like him and I will never pray to be like him… I’m doctor Mark and I can proudly beat my chest today because I’m self made…I have not raped or killed any one before… I’m a man of integrity… you need somebody like me to feel secured not a man like Kane… please Olivia consider how long I have being waiting and asking… don’t miss another chance of being in my life…I want you so badly please…

    “I guess you are done talking…is time to leave my house

    Olivia walked to the door and opened it as she angrily asked Mark to leave.
    Mark stepped out and stood close to the door where Olivia was as he kept talking.

    “If you don’t leave now I will call my security to throw you out, I don’t want to do that due to the years we have known but don’t push me Mark…do not pus…

    The main gate opened as the security ushered Kane in, Olivia lost word as he watched Kane gently walking down with his walking stick.
    Mark turned and saw Kane and an idea quickly came to him.
    As Olivia ignored him and looked straight ahead at Kane, Mark moved so close to Olivia and cupped her mouth into a kiss shocking Olivia who opened her eyes wide in shock.
    Kane saw what was going on and pause as he swallowed hard before looking away, Kane bent his head as he saw Mark kissing Olivia.

    Olivia struggled to be free but Mark held her tight.
    Olivia managed to lift her hand and punch Mark on his left eye.
    He loosened up and moved back, he held his eyes in pain as he turned and gently walked out
    Olivia was speechless at what Mark just did. She has not expected such dirty act from Mark.
    She stood there puzzled as she watched him walked out of the gate his hand still on his eye.
    When Kane looked up he saw Olivia’s shocked face looking at Mark as he walked out.
    Kane did not know if he should leave and come back another day because he was also struggling with what he just saw.

    Now, he understood why Mark doesn’t like him, is probably because he was in a relationship with Olivia.

    Kane swallowed hard as he walked down to stand right in front of Olivia who was still puzzled at something or maybe she hates seeing his face around.
    Kane spoke out bringing Olivia to reality.

    “Olivia… how are you… I’m sorry to interrupt your… meeting…with doctor Mark, I know you have warned me severally not to come often…but I can’t help it, I’m not myself whenever I’m away from..yo..u… and Emerald…I feel suicidal, lonely, heart broken…I feel part of me is gone… I’m not asking you not to be in a relationship with doctor Mark or anybody…I don’t have such power or right to tell you what to do… doctor Mark may probably give you the peace of mind and security that you deserve… I’m everything bad that you portray me to be… I’m even semi cripple, I can’t make good use of my right leg any more…they suggest I travel abroad for another suggery but I’m no more interested…alot of suggeries have being done on the leg already yet no much positive change…am tired of life itself…I can’t even defend myself any more…is better that way so that you can win… what is the point of living when the only woman I loved so much… with my whole being hates me and does not want to have anything to do with me… she moved on with her doctor friend and I’m stock here wondering if i will ever move on… all I want right now is at least see Emerald my daughter…no matter what…she is my daughter… Olivia, and I’m transferring all my wealth to her…I don’t know how long I will live here on earth… being reclined to a walking stick… I can’t move around on my own… life is so tiring… my life is empty without you in it…but is fine… I’m getting punished for everything I ever did back in younger age… can I see my daughter… Olivia…

    “Stop calling her your daughter… what is wrong with everybody today… Emerald is not your daughter, Kane… leave me alone… why can’t I have peace in my house, we don’t need your money… you have done enough already… give your wealth to another and leave my daughter out of it… did you and mark planned to come and frustrate my life today… what is all this again, and mind you I don’t hate you or any one, I have moved past that and you too should get over it… do whatever that makes you happy but leave me and my daughter out of it… leave us alone for crying out loud…

    “Olivia, calm down… I’m sorry for getting you pissed…I only came in peace… you and i knows that Emerald is my daughter too… I’m sorry the way she was conceived but it has turned out to be a blessing to us…my past is filled with mistakes and regrets, I’m sorry for my old self if it still haunts you…I will carry that guilt to my grave, I regret everything but I don’t regret having a smart pretty angel like Emerald, she came out of all that chaos, and turned out to be a blessing in disguise… please don’t deny me the joy of being in my daughter’s life… please…if i can’t be in yours then let me be in her life… that’s all I asked.

    “You and Mark are both crazy… go and look for a solution to your problem I’m not your solution… please leave me and my daughter alone… I’m begging you for God sake…

    Olivia angrily went inside and locked her door leaving Kane standing outside.
    Who later left.

    Emerald was listening and quietly watching from the window starting from when doctor Mark came and later kissed her shocked Mom who punched him in the eyes before he left, she was still watching and listening till when Kane came in
    She was there listening to all they were saying.
    Now she knows that Mr Kane is truly her father and why her Mom did not want to have anything to do with him.
    Doctor Mark has mentioned that Mr Kane killed her grandmother and grandfather and also pregnated her Mom which resulted to having her.
    Emerald has listened to Kane when he said he regret everything he did to Mom and wish he can be in their life which Mom refused.

    Emerald quickly ran back to the room immediately she saw her Mom coming,
    She pretends to be arranging things as her Mom joined her.

    She dares not say any of the things she heard to her already angry Mother.

    Emerald quietly went about folding clothes and arranging them into a box in a way that it won’t get her Mom more furious with her.

    That night as her Mom slept, Emerald copied Kane’s number out of her mother’s phone and hide the paper.

    As her Mom drove out on the third day, to make enquiries about their flight. Emerald quickly dailed Kane’s number and called him.

    “Olivia… how are you… I’m sorry to interrupt your… meeting…with doctor Mark, I know you have warned me severally not to come often…but I can’t help it, I’m not myself whenever I’m away from..yo..u… and Emerald…I feel suicidal, lonely, heart broken…I feel part of me is gone… I’m not asking you not to be in a relationship with doctor Mark or anybody…I don’t have such power or right to tell you what to do… doctor Mark may probably give you the peace of mind and security that you deserve… I’m everything bad that you portray me to be… I’m even semi cripple, I can’t make good use of my right leg any more…they suggest I travel abroad for another suggery but I’m no more interested…alot of suggeries have being done on the leg already yet no much positive change…am tired of life itself…I can’t even defend myself any more…is better that way so that you can win… what is the point of living when the only woman I loved so much… with my whole being hates me and does not want to have anything to do with me… she moved on with her doctor friend and I’m stock here wondering if i will ever move on… all I want right now is at least see Emerald my daughter…no matter what…she is my daughter… Olivia, and I’m transferring all my wealth to her…I don’t know how long I will live here on earth… being reclined to a walking stick… I can’t move around on my own… life is so tiring… my life is empty without you in it…but is fine… I’m getting punished for everything I ever did back in younger age… can I see my daughter… Olivia…

    “Stop calling her your daughter… what is wrong with everybody today… Emerald is not your daughter, Kane… leave me alone… why can’t I have peace in my house, we don’t need your money… you have done enough already… give your wealth to another and leave my daughter out of it… did you and mark planned to come and frustrate my life today… what is all this again, and mind you I don’t hate you or any one, I have moved past that and you too should get over it… do whatever that makes you happy but leave me and my daughter out of it… leave us alone for crying out loud…

    “Olivia, calm down… I’m sorry for getting you pissed…I only came in peace… you and i knows that Emerald is my daughter too… I’m sorry the way she was conceived but it has turned out to be a blessing to us…my past is filled with mistakes and regrets, I’m sorry for my old self if it still haunts you…I will carry that guilt to my grave, I regret everything but I don’t regret having a smart pretty angel like Emerald, she came out of all that chaos, and turned out to be a blessing in disguise… please don’t deny me the joy of being in my daughter’s life… please…if i can’t be in yours then let me be in her life… that’s all I asked.

    “You and Mark are both crazy… go and look for a solution to your problem I’m not your solution… please leave me and my daughter alone… I’m begging you for God sake…

    Olivia angrily went inside and locked her door leaving Kane standing outside.
    Who later left.

    Emerald was listening and quietly watching from the window starting from when doctor Mark came and later kissed her shocked Mom who punched him in the eyes before he left, she was still watching and listening till when Kane came in
    She was there listening to all they were saying.
    Now she knows that Mr Kane is truly her father and why her Mom did not want to have anything to do with him.
    Doctor Mark has mentioned that Mr Kane killed her grandmother and grandfather and also pregnated her Mom which resulted to having her.
    Emerald has listened to Kane when he said he regret everything he did to Mom and wish he can be in their life which Mom refused.

    Emerald quickly ran back to the room immediately she saw her Mom coming,
    She pretends to be arranging things as her Mom joined her.

    She dares not say any of the things she heard to her already angry Mother.

    Emerald quietly went about folding clothes and arranging them into a box in a way that it won’t get her Mom more furious with her.

    That night as her Mom slept, Emerald copied Kane’s number out of her mother’s phone and hide the paper.

    As her Mom drove out on the third day, to make enquiries about their flight. Emerald quickly dailed Kane’s number and called him.

    LASTING  MEMORY
    Episode 19



    Kane sat gently on Olivia’s cushion while Mark was sitting opposite him. He was still wearing a straight face pretending to be watching the television
    Olivia surprised Kane by asking him

    “What can I offer you, water juice, wine or fruits…I know you don’t like taking juice you prefer wine…so should I get it for you…?

    Kane looked up at Olivia with his mouth open not knowing how to reply to her unexpected kind gesture. He blinked just to make sure it wasn’t a dream, Olivia waited for Kane to reply but when he remained speechless she said

    “I will take your silent for a yes…and get the wine for you because I know you to be a lover of fine red wine…

    Olivia brought a wine and a tumbler for Kane who sat looking at her.
    Mark was quietly looking at them, he was feeling uncomfortable with Olivia’s attitude to Kane, he swallowed hard, and sat properly on his sit, he cleared his throat so that Olivia will acknowledge his presence.
    Olivia never smile all through this period, she was just on a straight expressionless face, and nobody can tell if she was happy or not. She ignored Mark who repeatedly cleared his throat just to draw her attention.
    Kane looked at Mark and saw the jealousy written all over him, he wondered if Olivia was already in a relationship with the doctor, which made the doctor to be acting all up at his presence.
    Kane ignored him and focused on Olivia who went inside and instruct her cook to prepare something for dinner.
    Kane can hear her telling the cook to start evening food immediately.

    Olivia returned to the sitting room and called Mark aside, out of Kane’s hearing.

    “All that drama outside wasn’t necessary Mark…he was my guest…you should have allowed me to have an opinion if I want him in or not…you shouldn’t make decisions on my behalf…

    “I’m sorry Olivia, I thought you wouldn’t want to see him after all he did to you…I was just looking out for you Olivia…I care about your well being…so much. and I never want anything or anyone that will make you sad ever again, I want to protect you from people like Kane…who almost killed you…you passed out for days Olivia…I have never being so scared in my life, I was not myself watching you lay so lifeless in that hospital bed with a life support…you wouldn’t understand how difficult and scary your condition was…your condition was so critical…but I’m glad at the end you are fully back to your normal self…I know I don’t have a say or have any right to dictate what you want but all I did was to protect you…because…I really do care about you Olivia…

    “Thank you Doctor Mark…I appreciate everything you have done for me so far…I really do appreciate you…but I need to talk with Kane and it will be better if you leave…Kane is not the devil but his past who’s name was Kaka is the darkness that engulfed me and I was determined to bring that past to book but as you already know it did not end well…I want to have a mature talk with Kane and your presence will be a great distraction…I’m sorry to ask you to leave but I need audience with Kane alone…

    Mark felt disappointed, he tried to argue but suddenly stopped. He went back inside, picked up his car key and drove off. Olivia went in to join Kane who has not touched his drink as he tried to focus on the television but his mind was on Olivia and Mark talking outside before Olivia returned back and sat opposite him, close to where Mark sat earlier before he finally left.
    Olivia did not say anything immediately as she tuned down the television volume before facing Kane.   Kane dropped the drink in his hand and looked at his sweating palm, even with the air condition cooling in Olivia’s parlor he was sweating inside. He wondered how to start a conversation as they were both quiet except for his heart beat that sounded like a drum in his ears.
    Kane did not want to say or ask anything that will offend Olivia as he continue to stare at his palm and later looked up at Olivia who was staring at him with a frown on her face.
    He looked away and breathed down, he wish Olivia could just say something to him, he wish to ask her how she was fairing, plead for her forgiveness continually, ask of Emerald his daughter, who he has not seen for some months, he desire to ask Olivia if she was already in a relationship with Doctor Mark, he desire to ask her if is possible to give him another chance to right his wrongs, to give her everything and even more than he has ever given before, he wanted to say many things how his life has being so sad and empty without her presence, to tell her that he can’t live without her, Kane wish she can prove to Olivia that he truly loves her far more than anything and anyone, he knows he can’t bring her parents back to life as much as he would have given anything to bring them to life but he can’t because money can not buy life, he wish to say many thing to Olivia but all he did was to look at her and looked away as he saw the heat of Olivia’s eyes gazing down on him.

    “Are you going to sit there and stare without saying anything…why are you here…you have not told me why you came Kane…

    “i…I don’t know why I’m here Olivia…maybe to see you and to know how you are doing, to know if you will ever forgive me…to know if I will ever have a chance to be in your life again because my life is so empty without you…to know what I have to do to obtain your forgiveness…I’m ready to do anything Olivia, anything possible to have your total forgiveness for all my past sin…please…whatever the cause maybe. If you ask me to bring your parents back to life….that, I won’t be able to do Olivia…I wish I can but I can’t and that is the only thing I won’t be able to do for you but I will do every other thing to be qualified for your forgiveness…I know you warned me never to speak to you about love but I still can’t help it in this situation…I don’t deserve your love or forgiveness but I want to try to earn it…if you will give me another chance…I can never stop loving you Olivia…I can’t…I don’t know if I will be able to live without you…my life will be so void, lonely and empty without you in it…I love you and Emerald more than everything in this world…Olivia….

    Kane went down on his left knee and held onto his walking stick as he stood his right knee which he can’t bend due to the damage the bullet left in his kneecap.
    Olivia kept a straight face as he watch him struggle to go on one knee while supporting himself with his stick, she felt pity for him because Kane may have to depend on a walking stick for the rest of his life if surgeries did not correct his knee
    Kane tries to keep his right wounded leg steady as he plead to Olivia on one knee, Olivia still did not say anything as he kept on watching him
    Olivia saw his struggle and his pain as he tries to change his kneeling position which was causing pain on his right knee
    Kane loosed his balance and fell to the ground, Olivia gasp as she saw him fall and he tries to get up again

    >>>www.mhiztaemy.com.ng<<<

    “please sit down Kane, the knelling thing is not necessary nor appropriate considering your condition…please sit and stop hurting your self…whether you knee, sit or stand up to speak to me it doesn’t really matter all that matters is the word not necessary the added action, I try not to hate you because of your past but I hate your past for all it took from me, I try to see you as Kane and not the terrible Kaka that unleashed darkness to my family, I’m beginning to work on myself to accept the fate that life threw at me…is really difficult, I have struggles but I will be alright… while you are sitting under my roof is because I’m letting go of the hate and unforgivness that clouded my mind…I want to see you differently from whatever you use to be but it will take time and distance to achieve that…all the terrible things happening of recent could have being avoided if you have walked on a good path as a young man back then instead trading a peaceful life for gangster and stupid power…if you have being upright in the past, we may not have end up together or have any connection but I’m sure you will live with a clear conscience and I may still have my parents by now… is so hard to just see you as an ordinary man, is difficult for me counting from the years we have being together and shared so much happiness and love, everything was so beautiful and I was looking forward to spending ever after with you and Emerald but one bad past changed everything and I’m about starting my life all over in a different platform is damn hard but I will be fine. Kane no matter how  bad it is… is so sad that it has to go this way…but I won’t be able to love you like I have always done before finding out about your past…I can’t even love anyone right now…except myself and my daughter… being with you again I will always be reminded of my parents killer, you will remind me everyday with your presence and no matter how I try to let go or forget I will still remember and I may end up hurting even more than ever. Being with an ex murderer, a rapist and an arm robber. I know those are your past man and not who you are any more but I won’t be able to get past who you use to be especially loosing my loving parents to this careless past. I won’t be able to totally let go Kane and that’s more reason I’m letting you go to begin another life and I wish you all the best out there. Please do not argue or plead again because it won’t change anything…my mind is all made up. I hold no grudge or hate against you but there is no “we” any more and there won’t ever be and is not because I have not forgiven you but because I can’t forget…I ca…n’t…forg….

    Olivia pause and bent her head, she covered her mouth with her hand as she sobbed silently. Kane’s eye was already soiled as he listened to Olivia, he released all the tears and it rolled down from his face, he stood up with his stick and gently walked up to where Olivia was sitting, he sat beside her and drew her into his arm and Olivia did not hesitate as she went into his arms and they both cried together like wounded babies.
      Kane couldn’t speak anymore as he felt so emotional and a lump of sad pain in his throat seeing that he may not have a chance with Olivia again but he was glad to at least have her in his arm even if is for this moment.

    Olivia got herself together and  straightened from Kane, Kane tried to wipe her eyes with his hand but she stood up and took a tissue box, she came back to sit beside Kane as he gave him some of the tissue to clean his teary eyes as she cleaned hers too.
    She looked up at Kane, and quickly looked away
     She shut her eyes before saying

    “this…is so hard…so hard…but I will live everyday at time just as doctor Kate as said…is just so hard to accept that I will be starting my life all over again without you in it…but is better this way to avoid future regrets and th…

    Kane quickly  covered her mouth with his, as he kissed her, Olivia struggled to get free but Kane held onto her, Olivia later relaxed as she allowed Kane to kissed her as if his life depends on it, she responded as they both held onto each other testing each others salty tears as it rolled down from there eyes.
    Olivia suddenly broke free and stood up as she cleaned her eyes with tissue, Kane later stood up with his walking stick and gently walked away.
    Olivia went to her room and released all the held on emotional tears as she cried into her pillow

    Kane sat in his car and couldn’t move as he placed his head on his sterling and cried like a child.
    He wonder how he will be able to live without Olivia, how will his life be like without Olivia in it who obviously still loves him but can’t be with him because of his terrible past which may hunt her in the future.
    Kane hit his steering hard in totally sadness as he wish he can undo what he did in the past, rewrite his own story, became reborn again so that he can start a clean path, do anything he can just to have Olivia back to his life.

    Olivia got a knock on her room door, the cook came to inform her that dinner was set but she told the cook she wasn’t hungry and don’t feel like eating as she remained in her room without stepping out.

    EVE

    Episode 18




    *Now Alberto’s point of view*
    I felt myself surrounded by darkness.
    Being trapped in my mind for a long time.
    Being trapped in my subconscious.
    Here i felt helpless. Weak.
    But when i opened my eyes, white light surrounded me, i shut back my eyes.
    And tried to sit up, i opened them again and adjusted it to the lights as i looked around.
    Hospital.
    Various machine surrounded me. Beeping.
    How did i get here?
    I tried to remember but nothing came, all i got was a very serious migraine and i shut my eyes in pain.
    I was sore all over. My head f—–g hurts. My ribs bandaged up even my left arm was broken. What happenned?
    A doctor ran in looking shocked.
    “Mr Santiago?” He asked, he looked like he was in his early fifties. He was wearing a white coat slightly opened which showed his blue shirt.
    I looked at him inquisitivly as he took a survey at the machines and sighing in relief.
    “I see you’ve woken up after a long time” He smiled flashing a torch on my eyes. “Please follow the ray of light”
    Woken up after a long time?
    How long had i been here?
    How did i get here?
    Questions filled my mind. But my mouth wouldnt open to ask.
    I tried talking but i just couldnt hear my voice, the doctor noticing my trials just smiled at me tapping my shoulders lightly.
    “Its ok Mr Santiago, you wont be able to talk, for now. Your brain is still trying to recover from the damage done to it in the accident”
    Accident?
    Was i involved in an accident?
    He gave me a pen and a book. “Write whatever you want to say here” He said, picking up a stethos cope and checking my heart beat.
    I quickly wrote. How did i get here?
    “Mr Santiago, you have suffered what we call as elective memory loss. That means in the cause of your accident, you had a serious brain damage, which has erased a particular event, or someone, or thing from your mind. The brain damage also affected your ability to speak”
    I gasped. I had forgotten something, someone. Who?
    And i wouldnt be able to talk again?
    “Calm down Mr Santiago, your heart rate just picked up. The good thing is you would still be able to talk, just give it a few hours and your brain would finally bring out your voice. But the worst part is your memory may never be recovered. That mea ns whatever your brain has wiped off may not return back to you. You may forget it forever”
    What?
    My brain has wiped out something, someone from my mind?
    There is something i dont remember, or someone ?
    No, No. This was bad.
    What if that person was really special to me? And i needed to remember?
    I quickly wrote on the book. Is there something that can be done to this memory loss?
    “I’m afraid nothing can be done Mr Santiago. But its left to your brain now to bring back the memory loss. But please Mr Santiago, dont try recovering those memories because they would give you nothing but a migraine” He said, pressing a botton on the machine.
    How long had i been here?
    He looked at the note. “You have been in coma for a month now Mr Santiago, we were suprised you woke up, because your body was shutting down a lot of times, but you just kept coming alive.”
    How did i get here? I wrote.
    “You got into an accident Mr Santiago. You were driving under the influence of alcohol, and you didnt pay attention to the road. Its a good thing the paramedics brought you here on time”
    I was drunk while driving?
    Why?
    Why was i drinking? Did anything happen to me?
    As i tried to remember how i got here, a sharo pain attacked my head and i groaned in pain.
    “I told you Mr Santiago, everytime you force your self to remember anything you would a migraine. So just rest and allow your head recover those m emories” He said, laying my back to the bed.
    In a few minutes i was back in my subconscious ness.
    *Few weeks later*
    After a painful two weeks in the hospital, i was fin ally discharged home. But as i entered my house, i felt a pang of lonliness.
    Did i live here alone?
    I quickly went to the kitchen to make myself a hot tea.
    After two weeks, no memory of my accident came to me.
    No memory recoverd.
    I was still the same since i woke up except i could now talk and my hand was ok now. The bandag ed ribs still remained though.
    I put the kettle on the gas and waited for it to boil.
    Even without my memories back, i felt a deep hole within me.
    A part of me was incomplete.
    A part of me was lost.
    I felt something was missing.
    But what?
    What was it that was so important to me that i needed to remember.
    Was it someone?
    Something?
    A family member?
    Someone i loved?
    As i tried to remember a sharp pain stung my head and i groaned in pain.
    “F–k!” I hissed and stood up to put off the gas. As i tried to pour the water into a cup, it fell, splashing its content on my toes.
    I screames in fustration and climed up the stairs to the room. Going towards my room, i saw a door opened and i walked in.
    The room was designed for a female.
    What was a female doing in my house?
    Did i have a wife? Sister? Daughter?
    F–k! Why couldnt i remember anything?
    I walked in and went to the wardrobe. female clothes of different colours and designs stared at me, expensive jewerries layed on the surface. Shoes of different designs stood on the floor.
    Who owned these?
    I picked up one of the gowns and looked at it and noticed it belonged to a very young girl probably seventeen or eighteen.
    But what was a girl that young doing in my house ?
    Migraine attacked me and i sat down a bit.
    I needed to remember, i needed to remember this girl.
    As i sat on the bed i saw a book peeking out of the pillow, i picked it up and opened a page
    May, 15, 2015. Dear Diary,
    Today is my birthday but Alberto dosent know ab out it, i dont want to tell him. He treats me bad..It has been two years since i started staying with hi m and i already had a scar.

    Sometimes i think i like him. But i dont want to, because he is wicked.
    I just want to sleep and get away from him.
    Till tomorrow diary.
    I closed the book and many thoughts wondered t hrough my brain.
    This girl said she liked me.
    She said i was wicked to her.
    Who was she?
    I looked at the cover of the book and saw a name written on it.
    Eve.
    Who was Eve?

    MURDER CASE 

    Episode 5



    The whole court was shocked by jacobs’ revelation. The whole case was taking a new dimention.
    “Do you know how preposterous your accusation sound? You mean he shot your wife and you just stood there?” Barrister Briggs asked.
    “Immediately he killed my wife, he charged at me and hit me with his gun and i became unconcious” Jacobs narrated
    “I see.
    Your counselor just said Mr.paul has a personal vendetta against you so why didn’t he kill you? I mean, you are the only thing standing between him and Grace according to your lawyer, so why did he choose to kill Grace instead of you?”
    “I don’t know” jacobs replied.
    “you also said all bullets are submitted to your commandant untill during emergencies but according to reports there was an armed robbery attack that night which means you were with bullet so how about the truth? How did you feel when you killed my daughter?”
    “Objection my lord, false charge!! My client has not been proven guilty” barrister Clement shouted
    “Objection sustained, Barrister lets wait till that is proven”. Justice Okoro said.
    “i rest my case” barrister Briggs said. He brought out a white hankerchief from his pocket and used it to wipe the already forming tears in his eyes. He sniffed inaudibly and went back to his seat.
    Whispers of eyaa, kai and the likes, were heard in the crowd.
    “Would you like to cross-examine him?” Justice Okoro asked Barrister Clement.
    “No, your honour.” he replied.
    The judge turned to Barrister Briggs
    “your next witness please” He said.
    By this time, Barrister Briggs has already regained composure.
    He stood up and called.
    “Mr. Fidelis Ogbu, please come out”
    A middle aged man who was probably just a few centimetres fatter than the ‘letter I’ came out. He went straight into the dock.
    “Mr. Fedelis, what kind of relationship do you have with Mr. Jacobs?” Barrister Briggs asked.
    “Ah!! Na my paddy o, na me with am the follow drink for junction. Infact ehm, e dey even carry me go him house, madam go come cook better food for us. Kai, madam na good woman o” fidelis spoke.
    “so were you with Jacobs on the day of the incident?”
    “yesso, na me with am been drink that day sef. E call me around past 3 say make we go drink. As we come the drink na, him come tell me say e go kill him wife today. I think say na play him the play o. Around past 4 we come drink finish. By then, my friend don drink 5bottles. I come leave am go my house o, na the next day naim i come hear say e don kill him wife” fidelis narrated.
    “Why did he talk about killing his wife”
    “him say as him wife the go work say she the follow men for office, say him go kill her.
    “thank you mr. Fidelis” barrister Briggs said and walked back to his seat.
    “Would you like to cross-examine the witness?” Justice Okoro asked Barrister Clement.
    “Yes, your honour” Barrister clement said and stood up. He opened his bag and brought out three pictures.
    “Mr. Fidelis, you claimed to have seen Grace right?” Barrister clement asked.
    “oga lawyer i don see the woman plenty times, my friend the carry me go him house” fidelis explained.
    “Good, so which of this three pictures is grace’s picture” he asked and gave the three pictures to Fidelis to choose.
    After carefull observation, Fidelis chose one and gave to Barrister clement.
    “Are you sure?” Clement asked.
    “oga na she be that” Fidelis replied. Barrister clement then showed the picture to the judge.
    The picture was once again enhanced.
    “According to our ‘self acclaimed’ friend of Mr. Jacobs, this is Mrs. Grace. But i tell you what, this is the picture of Genevieve Nnaji. So our friend here doesn’t even know mrs.
    Grace. The question is, are we going to listen to the testimony of a drunk?
    “Objection my lord, the Barrister is using foul words in the court.
    “Objection sustained” Justice Okoro shouted.
    Barrister, vulgar words are not allowed in this court.
    “I guess all am trying to say is, even if my client truly said what Fidelis has accused him of, then he probably said it under the influence of alcohol. But there is a difference of seven hours between past 3 and past 10. So am sure the alcohol must have cleared from my client’s face even before his wife came back so he wouldn’t carry out an action he had said when still under the influence of alcohol. I rest my case” Barrister clement concluded

    THE LAST SURVIVORS 
    Episode 1



    Melinda was a few minutes late to an executive meeting in the company where she worked for, but she had to take a brief stop at a drug store to buy some lozenges. She drove into a large shopping mall, darted out her car and dashed into a drug store.”Please do you have any lozenges? I think I am about to have a sore throat”
    “Yes I have one”, said the store attendant. The attendant fetched a packet of tablets from the rack. Melinda grabbed it from her, tore open of the sachets in the pack and dropped two tablets into her mouth and began to lick them quickly “How much is it?” “Five hundred Naira only” replied the attendant.
    Melinda dug into her bag in seach of money, when she raised her head to offer the attendant the Five hundred Naira note in her hand, the attendant pointed to someone standing behind Melinda’s back and said “He has taken care of it”. “Who?” said Melinda as she turned to see who was standing behind her.”Holy Moses! MICHAEL! Ghost! Ghost!”
    Melinda literally leapt over the counter and ran into the room behind the store. The attendant following suit believing that the man who stood in her shop was a ghost. Michael called for Melinda to come back, assuring her that he was no ghost. Melinda came out.
    “This has to be your ghost, right? Tell me this your ghost?”
    “I am here in flesh. If I was dead, then who is standing in front of you?” Asked Michael “Your ghost! The ghost of Michael is standing in front of me! I heard you were dead. You died in Malta.You died in a plane crash in Malta.Ehm..Angelique! Yes Angelique! She told me everything about your burial;she even snapped photos of it” Replied Melinda.
    “She told you that I was dead? But here I am in flesh and blood.I am no ghost! Okay do your test,prove yourself that I am no ghost”. Melinda grabbed as much flesh on Michael’s hand as she could and pulled hard. “Aw!” Shouted Michael;bleeding. “You are not dead”, “Now do you believe that I am not dead, Melinda?” “Okay you are not dead. But you being alive leaves a lot of questions. There is a grave somewhere which is supposedly your grave. Who is in it? Where on earth have you been all these years? Do you have a contact where I can reach you? Maybe a ghost contact. I have to dash off to a meeting”.
    Michael and Melinda exchanged phone numbers and Melinda left for work.
    As Melinda drove to work, she couldn’t stop wondering why Angelique told her that Michael was dead. Melinda picked her phone and dialed Angelique’s number. It rang severally and no one picked it. She arrived at the company and was parking her car when her phone rang. She checked it and saw it was Angelique’s number “Hello Anjo(Angelique’s nick name) guess who I saw…” The words of the voice on the other end of the line made Melinda stop cold.
    The masculine voice said, “Am sorry, this is not Anjo. If Anjo is the owner of this phone number calling you, then I am sorry to tell you that she is dead. She just lost her life in an Auto accident”. “No she can’t be dead! You are wrong!” Melinda shouted crying. “Hello”, said the male voice “…I am calling to inform you of her death because you are the last phone number to have dialed her phone”.
    “How did my friend died?” Asked Melinda amid heart-wrenching sobs “Her car screeched to a stop on Maya avenue and she ran out of it as though something in the car was after her. She was shouting incoherently and looking back at her car while trying to cross the road…a car ran over her”.
    Melinda began to tremble terribly.
    Melinda recovered much later in the day and went home. She then called some of her friends to inform them about Angelique’s death. By the time Melinda was calling, Angelique’s parents had already been informed and have come to identify Angelique’s body as their daughter’s.
    Melinda called Michael to inform him about Angelique’s death. “You won’t believe what happened after I left you. Angelique is dead! She died earlier today…” “Are you sure… Oh my God! What.. Oh God… I don’t know what to say. Are you sure she is dead for real?”
    “Believe me Michael, she is dead”.
    “How are you feeling now? I know this must be hard for you? Can I come over and be with you?”
    “No don’t worry my boyfriend is on his way here”.
    “How did it happen? I mean Angelique’s death” asked Michael. “What I was told is shocking, it sounds like something from the movies. I was told she was running away from something in her car when a car rammed into her”.
    There was silence on the other side of the phone conversation. “Michael are you there?” There was still silence. “Hello Michael are you there?”
    Then came a heart-stopping shriek from Michael’s own end of the conversation. “AAAH! O GOD! AAAAH! NO! AAAAAH”.
    The shout jolted Melinda so much she threw her phone on the bed and fled from her room. She was heading for her door when it creaked and began to open. Melinda stood in front of it frozen with fear and her heart pounding away like the rumbling of the sky suring rainy season…

    EVE

    Episode 16




    *This chapter is still in Alberto’s point of view*

    *Ten years ago*

    I just clicked sixteen years. My dad as usual did nothing to celebrate my birthday and my mom too. He said celebrating birthdays was a sign a weakness.
    My dad, Mr Vettriano Santiago was a very heartless man, ruthless, drug dealer. He was a dangerous man and he taught me to be like him.
    My father never did anything good for me, he showed no sign of affection for me. He told me never to love anyone only myself. He taught me to be heartless.
    “Alberto, come here” He called from the sitting room.
    I was in the kitchen, playing with the food i was given. Today was suppossed to be a day of celebra tion, my birthday, the day that marks the one i was born. But no one did anything. It was a normal day.
    “Coming, master” That was what my dad demanded i called him.
    He didnt want to be called “father” or “dad” he said it made him appear weak.
    I walked to the sitting room and saw him sitting on the couch, a gun in his hand. He was playing with it.
    “Here, take it” He handed me the gun and dragged me outside.
    The gun felt heavy in my hand, i could barely hold it properly.
    My dad had done so many things to me but he had never given me a gun before.
    He whistled and my dog, Jake came running towards us. Jake, was the only thing i had close to a family, i got him five years ago and he had been with me since, i loved him so much.
    “Now Kill it” My dad said, pointing at the dog.
    What?
    “Master, why?” I said looking horrified, i couldnt kill Jake, he was my best friend, the only thing i cared i about.
    “Kill it, this animal is nothing to you. I gave it to you to care for it, now i want you to kill it” He frowned.
    I pointed the gun at the animal, looking widely at us, he didnt know what was happening.
    I couldnt pull the trigger, i just couldnt.
    “Kill it Alberto, this thing only makes you weak, what is rule number one?” He asked walking behin d me.
    “Never let your feelings, love and care get the best of you” I said, having remembered when my dad broke my fingers, forcing me to learn all the fifty-six rules that makes a man. The rules that makes me a Santiago, according to him.
    “Good. Rule number two?”
    “Obey all instructions from your master, no matter the cost”
    “Rule number thirteen?”
    “Never fall inlove with any body, either a pet or a human”
    I was almost at the brink of tears as i pointed the gun at the animal before me.
    “Rule number twenty, Alberto?!” My dad shouted when he saw my eyes.
    “Never shed a tear for anything”
    “Why?!”
    “Because it shows weakness!”
    I set the bullet in the gun, and pointed it to my dog.
    “Now, kill it!” My dad shouted. “Kill it Alberto, Ive taught you to never allow your emotions get in the way of what you are suppossed to do. Kill it!”
    I stared at my dog and remembered when it killed a snake that was about to attack me in the forest . This dog had saved my life a lot, when i got lost in the forest..I loved it. I couldnt kill it.
    I gripped the gun harder, with all my strenght i tried to pull the trigger, i couldnt.
    “I can’t” I finally said it.
    My dad grew angry, he hit me and took the gun from me. He used the gun to hit my forehead, i was bleeding in seconds.
    “Today marks sixteen years since i have taught you all these. All i did for you Alberto, you still dont know anything” He kicked my stomach.
    Blood spewed from my mouth as i groaned in pain. My ribs were broken no doubt.
    He pointed the gun at my dog and pulled the trigger.
    I screamed. No. No.
    “Thats what you get when you let your emotions cloud your duty” He said, kicking my stomach harder, I screamed in pain.
    He continued hitting my stomach even when i tried to stop it with my hand.
    “Get up, Alberto” My dad said. “Get up!”
    I tried but fell down back, he hit me again and i shouted.
    “What is rule number thirty?!” He shouted back at me.
    I couldnt talk, my mouth was covered with blood and i couldnt think well
    “What is rule number thirty, Alberto?!” He dad sho uted louder. “Get up!”
    I couldnt, i couldnt speak. I was too weak, my dad kept hitting me my ribs hurts.
    I couldnt even breathe, my lungs were closed up. I was in agony, pain. But i couldnt get up.
    That was when i heard my mom, she was crying, begging my dad to stop hitting me.
    He was too furious he didnt listen to her. He continued hitting me, completing ignoring her pleas. He hit me harder and i thought i was finally going to die.
    “Get away woman!” He pushed my mom away as he fell down to the floor crying, wailing at the pain i was going through.
    My life flashed through my eyes.
    The day my dad beat me up for helping a lady who fell down.
    The day my dad totured me to telling him, the girl i liked in school. Lets just say the girl left our school after my dad paid all the teachers to fail her.
    The day my dad broke my right fingers the second time, hitting it with a hammar for trying to help my mom up when he beat her.
    The day my dad taught me the rules.
    The day i forgot the rules, my dad flogged me with whips all over my back.
    The day i tried to run away from him, but he caught me and locked me in a dark room without food and water for five days.
    My dad was a cruel man, who never loved me. He never loved my mom who he married because she was already pregnant with me.
    A pain surged through my head as i was brought back to my current situation.
    My dad was holding my hair, dragging it and shouting at me to not faint.
    “What is the rule Alberto, say it. Only then would i leave you”
    But i still couldnt talk, as i stared at him, blood running out of my nose and mouth. We had the same eyes, nose, everthing i was just like my dad.
    The man who broke me. The man who made me who i was.
    “Get up!”
    I looked at Jake and i tried to get up but the pains in my ribs wouldnt let me.
    But i needed to fight.
    I needed to be strong.
    Maybe my father was right. I couldnt let my emotions get in the way.
    I should have obeyed him.
    I needed to start following the rules.
    I didnt want to feel weak. I didnt want to feel sad.
    I needed to be ruthless.
    I needed to be wicked.
    Dangerous.
    Heartless.
    I tried getting up, but i fell back down.
    I stood up again.
    “Get up Alberto!” My dad shouted, watching me struggle without helpung me.
    My ribs hurt the more, and i coughed and spat blood. But i didnt let it affect me.
    I stood up and held my ribs in pain. I almost fell back down but i held unto myself.
    My dad smiled at me.
    This was what he wanted. He wanted me to be like him.
    “Rule number thirty, when your enemy attacks you, never back down. Stand up and fight” I managed to say, blood coming out of my mouth.
    My dad tapped me on my shoulder and gave me back the gun and pushed me in the direction of my mother.
    “Shoot her leg”
    I gasped as my mom shouted at my dad, cursing him and pleading for me not to, but i didnt listen.
    I pulled the trigger and shot her leg, she screamed.
    But i didnt listen. I looked at my dad and he was smiling, very proud of me.
    He wanted me to be a monster.
    And i was going to be that monster.
    Heloo….This chapter was about Alberto, ten years ago, when he was just sixteen years. As you can see his father was a very ruthless man who trained Alberto to just be like him. Now we know how Alberto got to be the way he is. We still dont know if Alberto survived the accident and Eve is now with James, who is the real monster here.

    LASTING MEMORY
    Episode 15



    She stood before them, looking at the small box.
    The man spoke
    “Is licensed madam…is not doubled barreled, is just a normal one for armatures… just as you requested, no harm if you can handle it, here is it if you have the mind to handle it with care, is not loaded yet. We have already taught you how to load it and use when the needs arises, you have to be extra careful so that you don’t turn it on your self…but madam…you can change your mind and there won’t be any problem at all…

    “No…give it to me, and thank you for your service. You can leave now.

    The man drove off with the other two and Olivia went back to her car and made a called

    “Hello Inspector…good day sir…do you get my message?

    “Barrister Olivia, how are you doing over there, i was informed by my men about your request…how many men do you need and they will be sent to you right away…and what exactly is the situation on ground, I couldn’t get the full details from my men, they told me is a criminal offence, consisting of different crimes that was overlaid for years…and you are taking up the case to handle in court, I trust whatever judgement you dares fits…I’m strongly behind you Barrister…so, I’m sending my men to you right away…

    “Thank you inspector, I appreciate all your good work and joining hands with me to bring justice for the deserted…you are doing a good job and your rank of truth will keep going higher….as for the men, I won’t be needing them any more…let me handle this myself…going with your men may complicate things…so I will handle this in my own way…and if there’s any changes I will definitely let you know…I will give you feed back on how it goes but I’m sure that self defense is not murder sir…that was why I requested to deal directly with you on this case…thank you once again Inspector…

    “Police is your friend…anytime and any day, try and be careful out there…and if you eventually change your mind don’t fail to let us know…in truth… self defense is not murder Barrister and that is more reason you need the police for your defense at all time so that you won’t take laws into your own hands…but I respect your wish…your wish is my command…be good…you can always reach me anytime you need me…

    Olivia later ended the call, she looked at the small box which was sitting carefully in the passenger sit, and she removed it from there and placed it under her seat before she zoomed off.
    Olivia was already running late, as she entered the express her phone was ringing, Kane was calling she end the call continuously as he calls, different number called but she kept ending it without answering it at all, she was still in her wedding dress and a dark sun glasses.
    Her phone rang again and she looked at the caller it was from Doctor Kate, Olivia ended the call again without picking but doctor Kate kept calling and later doctor Mark also started calling, she ignored it and kept driving with speed, she decided to switch off her phone but another call came in and it was doctor Kate calling again, Olivia decided to slow down her speed, she parked her car and answered the call.

    “Hello doctor Kate…

    “Olivia…oh my God…what is happening, I have being trying to call you since and even asked doctor Mark to try and reach you too…what I’m I hearing…I spoke with Helen not long ago, she called me asking me to reach you immediately before you hurt yourself… she told me everything and I’m still in shock…why didn’t you tell me…you kept it away from me all this while…Olivia, so Kane was Kaka…oh my God, why didn’t you tell me when you found out…and today was suppose to be your wedding…what are you planning? Please, before you make any rational decision tell me where you are… please where are you Olivia…I need to see you…I know you are hurt…we are worried about you…Mark is here with me and he is also worried sick…I know you are hurting but please forgive him and let loose of whatever plans you have for him…don’t do it…Helen told me what you intend to do to him and she couldn’t talk you out of it…she is hoping I will succeed with you….I know how much hate you have held all this years for Kaka not knowing he was close to your skin…I understand is accumulated hate but please forgive him….

    “forgive him…forgive him, like seriously….doctor Kate, that was more reason why I refused to take your calls because I know this will be your normal preaching…forgiveness…you don’t understand and I don’t expect anybody to understand anything right now…my mind is made up and I will handle this the way I want to…please stop worrying…I will be alright…but is either he goes or I go…one of us must leave this earth for the other because I can’t stand living in the same planet with Kaka, I have swore it and my words stand doctor…forgiveness is more reason many evil souls are rooming around this world, committing more crime, unleashing terror on the innocent, because they know they will be forgiven anyway. I could have think in the line of forgiveness if Kaka had come to me all this years and tell me the truth, the truth of being behind my parents death, the truth about everything Doctor Kate…if he was remorseful about it and I finally find the courage to let go…or I would have just get him arrested for him to face the justice that he escaped from and move on with my daughter…but Kaka knew all this while and made me to believe that he was Kane….i have thought this through and nothing will change my mind…I would have gone after his father and watch Kaka bleed like I bleed but the man is retired and very old and my battle is not with the old man but with Kaka…Kaka has money and connection…well, the money can’t save him now, not anymore, I have connection…more than he can imagine…so I’m all set for this…I’m sorry doctor  Kate…I have always listened to you in everything…but I won’t on this…I’m still bleeding…I hurt so deeply…more than you can imagined…just knowing my worst enemy…the man I have hated with passion and killed several times already in my mind was staring right at my face all this years…he bought freedom with money and also thinks he can buy my forgiveness with money…to hell with his money…I will be his worst night mare…and he will not escape it doctor…I don’t care what it will cause me…I have sold out Olivem…and that was my starting line…if I let it all go…Kaka will think it was his money that work as usual, he will think he bought me over like he has being doing, escaping everything because he believes his money gives him power…I won’t let this go, he can’t afford my forgiveness…is too expensive for him…this time his money won’t save him…please not now doctor…don’t preach to me…because at the end of everything is either him or me…period.

    Olivia ended the call, switched off her phone and entered the express again before zooming off.
    She has already sent some men to pay the securities at Kane’s gate off, to leave for one week and she has gotten the information that they have left. No obstruction.
    Somebody was waiting for her along the express, she picked up the person and when she drove down to Kane’s place she handed her car keys to the man and ask him to drive off with it to an unknown place where her car won’t be easily seen and the man drove off.
    Olivia raised her wedding gown as she walked into the gate. She has her own keys to the house so she unlock the house and entered inside.

    Kane and every one else got tired from waiting for Olivia, some people even stepped outside talking in a whisper, the media was already taking pictures and recording the event. Kane was breathing hard as his men tries to calm him down. time has gone and people where gradually leaving in shame.
    Kane was more ashamed as people looked at him in pity, the media was capturing the moment and he almost fought with one of the coverage men, he broke a camera of another photographer who took picture of him continuously.

    His bride has deserted him, Olivia never showed up at the wedding, Kane’s frustration grew as he couldn’t understand why Olivia would do this to him, he has sent people to search for her and even check her in her place and anywhere possible but they all returned back without any positive news.
    Kane went inside the dressing room and asked everybody to keep off.
    He punch hard on the wall and stamp his feet in anger “what if she was kidnapped, involve in an accident, fell sick or something else happened to her…what if….

    Kane couldn’t think straight, He sat on the ground and held his head. This was a great shame to his personality, he will be in the news for the wrong reasons, he has never in his life expected this to happen, Olivia’s phone was switched off, Kane has tried calling Helen earlier and it rang before she also switched off her phone.
    Something wasn’t right. Olivia has nailed him to the wall, how could she do such and what happened to her.

    People who came for the wedding saw things as it unfold, they quietly lined up at the food side, collecting food and drink, and some sat to eat and enjoy their selves.
    A woman well dressed gossiped with another woman as they eat their food at one corner quietly.

    “ Fredi, Fredi…haaa…the bride did not show up again…ewoo…things are happening oo…like play the groom has entered news with this o…news people have carried his story and by morning almost everybody will hear, social media, Instagram, Facebook, twitter and news agencies will carry this interesting story…do you see how angry the groom was…he fought with those photographers…if not for his friends holding him he would have done more…his father is a senator…but retired…the groom has money…he opened one big supermarket for his wife to be…the bride has a daughter, her parents were both killed by some gun men many years ago…how terrible…poor child, she was also raped and later had her daughter before she met the young man, the lady is a barrister now…oh you don’t know…now you know…

    “Ewoooo, Cordi…you don’t meant it…things are happening oo, aah what a poor child…I don’t know oo until now you are telling me…I only hard they have being together for long because the girl was in school…why will she abandoned her husband to be in the alter like that, the young man have locked himself in the priest dressing room and warned everybody to keep off…even his friends…me I only know a little about the lady and the man…but I never knew about the bride parents…how do you even know more than me Cordi…who told you all of this…

    “Me, do you know who I am…hmmm… I know many things Fredi…any old or latest news even if is being whispered inside an ant hole…I will still hear it…indeed things are happening like this one that just happened…is a big disgrace oo but it won’t matter much because there is enough food to eat and take away…this food is very sweet…they may refix the wedding again and we will come and eat, drink and gather gist for those who couldn’t make it down…

    Kane later left as night approach, all the people who came for the wedding were all gone except for Wilson who waited for him.
    They first drove to check Olivia at her place but nobody was around, even his daughter and the nanny wasn’t home, another drive to Helen’s place but nobody was also around there. Kane drove out again to Olivem supermarket but he got the shock of his life, as he was told that Olivem has being sold to another.
    Kane did not believe the story, he left immediately. He knew it can’t be possible because Olivia can not just sell such a huge asset without his knowledge. Kane believed that something wasn’t right.
    He drove back home with Wilson that night, his two security that was suppose to be on duty were all gone, nobody on the duty post or in the house even his house keepers. His body was shaking in anger, he try to understand what was really happening but he couldn’t think of any thing.
    The first shock was Olivia not turning up for the wedding, the second was finding out that Olivem has being sold to another, he did not believe the last story about selling Olivem because the big sign post of the supermarket was still there, the name is still there, everything is still the same even the staffs, so it can’t be true and Olivia can not do such a thing without informing him.
    Now his worries was “where is Olivia and my daughter” what happened to her…what is going on? He try to answer this question but couldn’t.
    Wilson spoke to Kane

    “Calm down…just calm down…and let’s hope she is alright…something has being going through my mind…do you think she knows…I mean she knows that you are Kaka…?

    “what kind of stupid thing are you even saying with your mouth…how can she know…is not possible for her to know like that except you went behind me again to tell her that I’m Kaka…

    “I can never do such thing to you…I never told her anything or sat with her again to talk after that first day…I was only wondering in my mind…what if she knows and played cool…she is a very intelligent person and she read law…you could have told her Kane…even before the wedding…I still stand on this…is she doesn’t know now and found out after the wedding that you are Kaka do you think she will forgive you…it will hurt her and is…

    “Wilson just keep shut…I don’t need all this right now…my head is already full…I have asked you before… how do you want me to put my mouth and tell her…how do you really want me to say it…that we killed her parents…I was an arm robber, I raped her…i escaped being punished because money speaker louder in our society…and I have known all this while who she was for years now but try to cover for the past…by giving her all I took from her…everything money can buy…I bought it for her but her parents are dead and I can’t bring them to life with money…and finally I will say…I am sorry Olivia …please forgive me for the sake of Emerald our daughter and forgive me because i Made your dreams to come true…jeezzzz…that is the worst confession I have ever hard…I don’t have such courage Wilson…I can’t tell her all that and she must not find out…maybe I will find the courage to do it someday but not today and not tomorrow…I need to find her first…that is my main problem now…please…don’t add to my trouble…by tomorrow the media will carry my picture and name to the public that is if they have not started already…they even captured the moment I was fighting those fools called camera men….my fear is where is Olivia and my daughter…what happened…maybe I should call the police to start a search for them…no, I don’t want to involve the police yet…what is happening to me…who did I offend…why must this embarrassing thing happened to me…why me, how could Olivia do this to me…oh my God ….i…I just want to stay alone…please leave Wilson…I will keep trying her number until I’m able to reach her…leave…I don’t want to see anybody right now…I want to think…all this is just too much…

    Wilson later left, Kane kept pacing up and down, he will punch the wall so hard and scream so loud in frustration.

    Olivia listened from where she was, she has planted a recording camera which she was listening to everything that Kane and Wilson was saying.

    Olivia  was upstairs, in one of the rooms in Kane’s house still in her wedding gown.

    “Is time for the main wedding to begin” Olivia said to herself as she opened the small box.
