David warned me, but as usual I almost never listened. The party sucked. Every other party I had been to was organized and mostly with less noise. This place was someone's house crowded by more humans than the place could contain and the music was so loud I felt my ears drums were going to pop out. Nothing they did here was moral, they drank and were mostly drunk, danced like whores and some of them made out at almost ever corner. It was like a typical teenage party only this time adults all over town attended it and behaved irrationally. Worst part is, I got separated from David since I came here. We had been here for almost an hour and he was nowhere to be found. It bothered me and I did try to look for him but I decided to stay put when some guys–men began to ask me to join them on the dance floor. I was in the living room, seated on the smallest part of the couch as other people sat beside me, shamelessly making out. I couldn't complain, he warned me not to go but I insisted a
~Elizabeth~Finally, my peace and quiet. Just void.No thoughts to think, no needs to worry about, no shame to be so afraid of. I rid myself of the world. They are bound to miss me but after a while they all would move on. It was best this way. "I need you not to die," A distant voice said. That's funny, I am already dead. It was all I ever wanted—not to be dead but to have peace. I had peace within myself and I enjoyed it. "I am not myself, I don't know what to do if you're not here to remind me," There it is again. That voice. I did not know who it was but it felt oddly familiar. They wanted me back. There was no way I could return, I made things worse for everyone. "Elizabeth please...."The voice again faded to thin air. That was it......Immediately, I was on a path with two ends. One led to where the faded voice was, and the other was more of my peace and quiet. What I had always longed for. I knew I didn't have much time to think thoroughly about it and what was b
~Elizabeth~"What is going on?" I asked quietly but no one gave an answer. David and Beauty were so interested in whatever they were doing–looked like they were packing up. "Guys..." I trailed off, moving closer to them. It had just been two days since I arrived from the hospital, they both made sure I stayed in the room to rest and according to David, his lawyer was handling Becca. Apparently, the proof I had with me was a very big deal to help them finish the case with ease. "We have great news!" Beauty shrieked with a huge smile on her face but she never stopped what she was doing. "What is it?" I pressed on, hoping to be a part of the joy ride they were having. Finally she stopped packing the clothes on the couch and turned to look at me. "Your boyfriend here is leaving for Nigeria in few hours. Come help me chase him away," she replied, going back to packing the clothes that were obviously his."This doesn't give you a reason to bring your so called boyfriend into this hous
~DAVID~He was the one behind all this. Of course he was. I just never expected it to be him. We barely met, even when we did, just a formal conversation. So what exactly did he hold against me?"Segun what do you want?" A sigh left my mouth. I wasn't too shocked at his presence. He was a pathetic human being. Everyone knew that. All I didn't understand was why he brought Elizabeth into it."Well, you don't seem surprised, especially for someone who has been kidnapped." He smirked and I rolled my eyes."You hate me. I get it, a lot of people do. Why bring her into it? She has nothing to do with you." I spitted out."She's just beautiful." He replied, sending a disturbing smile to Elizabeth."Can we be serious here?" I glared at him."Oh, if I'm serious then you're going to end up dead."~Elizabeth~
~SEGUN~"What Sandra?" I said to her. I really wasn't in the mood for her type of talks."It wasn't part of the deal." She said."What wasn't part of the deal?" I dipped my hands into my pocket."Killing him or molesting her." She replied and I rolled my eyes."When you put it that way," I started, taking my time to do a small laugh. "It's changes nothing. You shouldn't be dumb enough not to know that if we let any of them go alive they'll rat us out." I told her."But...""But what Sandra?!" I shouted."But David can't die." Tears clouded her eyes."Don't be a baby Sandra. Other guys are out there. Hotter and more wealthy than he is. You can just go for his brother or something." I told her but it didn't help her stop crying.I could care less about what she felt or thought. She was usele
~DAVID~ "Are you sure you're okay?" I asked her again. "You've asked me that like a million times. I swear I'm fine. I should be asking you." She smiled softly. "Just a bruised cheek. I'll be alright." I told her. "I'll need you two to report a..." An officer began to speak but Kelvin interrupted him. "No, if you need anything meet me. Don't spoil their love time." He pulled the officer away from us. "Love time." I said more to myself than anyone else. She made it clear she didn't want anything to do with me in that aspect. So I promised not to push it. "Are you coming back to work?" I changed the topic entirely. "Yeah, about that," she started and I groaned out. "I'm sorry, but I can't come back. I mean I'd love to but..." she trailed off. "But?" I asked her. "But I want to try
"Come here!" I jerked up abruptly at the sound of my fathers voice.With a shaking body, I made my way slowly to him, praying to God to save me."D-daddy, please, I'm weak, see my body is shaking. I'm very tired, please daddy..." A loud slap landed on my face making me fall to the ground.I couldn't even cry out anymore, tears only flowed out of my eyes freely. My body was too weak to stand back up and my eyes were too swollen to close them or blink."Did I ask you to talk? Worthless child, just like your mother. I should have thrown you out or killed you a long time ago." He shouted at my almost unconscious body on the floor.He would hav
~Elizabeth~I parked my car in the parking lot and threw the empty coffee cup in my hand into a waste bin as I walked into the organization. My heels clicked on the tiled floor as I made my way to the elevator. I wore a red pencil skirt that merged with my body perfectly and a white button up shirt that wasn't too tight but fitted my bust well.I was beautiful, I knew that, everyone that set their eyes on me knew that. And I made sure to be outstanding where ever I went.My name is Elizabeth Adeyemi, I'm 27 years old. I'm the personal assistant to the CEO of B-Corp. An organization in Africa for exporting Cocoa products. As a P.A, I'm in charge of the meetings my boss goes to, both home and abroad and also every appointment he is supposed to attend to. And many other boring stuffs like that.
