RICKY“Ricky! Ricky!” Melo said as she shook my shoulder. “Why aren’t you listening to me? Are you lost in your thoughts?”“Uhm, no, I’m just, I’m just remembering about something that recently happened to me,” I said.“Care to share what’s on your mind?”“No, I would rather not.”“Then answer my question! I’ve been asking you this question for a very long time,” she said angrily.“What question,” I asked.“You’re so lost in your thoughts that the question I’ve been asking you for the past ten minutes couldn’t get into your head.”“Just ask me the question. I wasn’t paying attention then, but now I am. Unless you want me to get up and leave, ask the question that’s been bothering for so long,” I said.“I’ve been asking you of your whereabouts,” she added. “Where were you last night, Ricky?”“I was uhm, at the —I went out for a stroll yesterday,” I said as I cleared my throat.“You were at the uh uh, Ricky you know you aren’t a very good liar. I can see through you, Ricky.”“I have no
RICKYI chuckled.“What are you saying about me, Alice?” Andy asked.“Nothing, dad,” she said.“But I overheard you whispering,” Andy said.“Oh dad!” She said as she hit her palm on her forehead. “How can you possibly hear someone whispering? Ok tell me something. If one was whispering and you overheard them, can it still be considered as whispering?”“I mean, no, I don’t think so,” Andy said.“Good. I know I was whispering but you didn’t hear me. Why? Because I was whispering, you must have heard someone else,” Alice said.“What is this drama?” Andy mumbled.“Did you say something, Rhett?” Andy asked.Rhett shook his head, gesturing that he didn’t.Cassey and Laura both entered the room, each holding a big bowl. They went in and out of the room, placing each bowl they brought on the middle of the dining table. After serving the food, Laura and Cassey both had their seats. We all flipped our plates that were previously upside down and dished out the meal we would try first.I went fo
KILLIAN“I’ve lost my appetite as well,” I said as I left the table.Lucio also stood up and left and we all departed one after the other.“You all should wait! Please guys, wait!” Cassey cried out but no one listened to her.We all left the table and headed to our respective rooms.“Good night, Lucio,” I greeted, heading to my room.I got into my room and quickly took my bath and was ready to go to bed.Why did Ricky suddenly ask me about the contents of his letter? Is he now suspecting me? No, I shouldn’t think this much. Ricky couldn’t suspect me even if he wanted to because I wasn’t the person that found his letter that day. I am not to blame for what Laura thought was on the letter. I only summarized what was on the letter and she heard me, I thought.“I shouldn’t worry myself with such petty things, I should relax,” I said to myself. “Now that I’m back, I’ll relax and enjoy my return. That reminds me, I haven’t had sex for months now and my dick is yawning to be sucked aggressiv
KILLIAN“What a stupid woman. How dare she speak to me with such disrespect?” I said angrily. “Rhett is the one to blame for this. How dare he take our matters to the streets. I never knew he would stoop to such a level just to make sure he tarnishes my name. Disgusting!”I went to be angry that night.The morning sun was so bright it penetrated through my room window and rested on my buttocks. I slept naked last night and this morning, my heated buttocks, woke me up.I rose up from the bed and wrapped the bedsheet around my waist, wearing it like a towel.‘Ding dong,’ my doorbell rang.Who could it be so early in the morning? Why can’t people in this palace stay in their room? I’m so tired of this constant visiting, I thought.“I don’t care who you are. Come in!” I ordered.Lucio came in and locked the door behind him. “How are you doing, my friend. I came to check up on you. I know you had a great time last night.”“Wipe that smile off your face, bozo,” I said angrily.“Why are you
KILLIAN “Look, I’m sorry for yelling at you, Cassey, but as you can see, I’m in a hurry. I don’t want to get to where I’m going, I need to get to where I’m going, it’s the most important place on my mind right now. So with all due respect, please let me go, Cassey,” I said calmly.“Ok ok, you can go now,” she said and ran away as tears ran down her cheeks.“Cassey! Cassey, I don’t mean it like that,” I yelled. “Phew! I’m glad she’s gone. Everyone here is so dramatic and they all seem to act upon any little thing, I’m tired of their bullshit.”I murmured while going to the elders chamber.I went into their chamber and searched for them in several rooms but they were nowhere to be found.“I know they aren’t dead. These pussies would stop at nothing to run away and save themselves from a war but criticize those that ran away for the same purpose —“While searching I walked past a room in which I heard voices from. “They must be in here. I knew they weren't dead.”I knocked on the door.
KILLIANI left the elders chamber and headed for Laura’s.‘Ding dong,’ I rang the doorbell.“Who is it?” Laura asked.“It’s Killian.”“What do you want from me again, Killian?” She asked rudely.“I’ve come here to deliver a message to you and this message is very important,” I said adding a sly smirk.Laura opened the door and I tried to enter but she placed her hand on my chest. “Stop! You can say whatever you want to say, standing here.”“Ok,” I smiled. “I’ve organized a meeting before sunset and I came here to inform you that your presence would be needed in that meeting.”“What are you planning to do, Killian?” She asked, wearing a curious look on her face.“You’ll find out during the meeting,” I said while walking away.“I should advise you, don’t try to go through that path, you’ll suffer dearly if you do,” she said as I halted and turned around.“You don’t need to —“ She shut the door before I could say anything. I smiled villainously and left.I left Laura’s chamber and heade
LAURAHe isn’t yet aware of the fact that I have found out his plans and the reason he has organized this meeting. He wants to dethrone me and claim the throne for himself. But little did he know that his plans are going to fail. I should play along and hear his riddle for a while, I thought.“That’s also right, Laura,” Killian continued. “The child is strong. He is a very strong child, but he will be stronger if he had a dad. Now imagine this, his dad was present when he was born and his dad was also present when he first learnt how to walk. And no, his dad is not dead. But why does he get sad when he thinks of his dad? Why does he blame his dad for leaving? Why does he complain to his mother when he misses his dad? Why does he do such a thing? Doesn’t he remember his dad? Doesn’t he remember the affection his father showed him when he was born? Didn’t he feel his father’s affection when his father taught him how to walk for the first time? All these questions are also as valid as th
LAURA“You all are pussies! Why are you staring at me? Say something! I command you to defend me this instant! Where is all your confidence now? Huh? You both were confidently telling me you had my back. Now where is your confidence? Where is that confidence you had when you were barking and yelling at me huh? You all don’t stand by your word. You all don’t deserve to be elders of the Zion pack! Speak up! This is your only chance to stand up for what’s right!” Killian kept yelling at the elders while the guards dragged him.The guards held him before me, each of them holding one arm.“What’s wrong Killian? You’re surprised they didn’t defend you? If you are, please don’t be. You see, these old men are just like you. They’re scared. Yes, they’re scared of what I’ll do to them. But do you know the only difference between you and them? They know when to quit, but you don’t!” I yelled. You can go ahead and kill him.”“Laura, I know you won’t do something as despicable as killing someone.
