"I won't spare you this time" he could have pulled the trigger, but he wanted to let her run, see he cry in pain before killing her.
"Please George, please don't hurt me" tears continued dropping from her sore eyes, she had been running from George for a long time, now her legs felt weak, unable to support her weight and she fell, he was holding a gun, he squatted and pointed the gun at her head.
"Plead all you want, I'll kill you this time"
"George, am sorry, I don't know how I ever offended you, but please don't take my life, I love you, I love you so much".
George looked her in the eyes and scoffed "love? Love? Do you love me? Well I hate you"
"Yes George, I love you" she wrapped her arms around his neck and slammed her lips on his as she let her tears drop freely as she kissed him under the moonlight.
George was shocked by her sudden unexpected action and pulled away, then she saw him, a shadow, it held a dagger, it was moving towards George, it was about to stab George from behind when she moved, she quickly pulled him down and but her body above his acting as a shield.
Her sudden movement shocked George but before he could react she gasped and fell on him, she had been stabbed, it was that dagger, the same dagger that was used to murder his mother, at the same spot, and he started panicking.
"Evelyn why did you have to do that"
"I, I, love you George, am sorry if I offended you, am going to die now, be happy without ...." she couldn't complete her statement, she struggled for air, but she found none, she breathe her last and shut her eyes in death.
George was losing it, he watched as she breathed her last, his heart was heavy, he watched her body unmoving and then something happened, her face, it started changing slowly and when he looked again it was his mother, the face of a dead mother.
"Noooooooo" he yelled as he woke up with a start, he was panting heavily, Nana rushed to his room when she heard his scream.
"George, are you okay"
"Nana," he said still panting "mum"
"Relax George", she got closer to him and started rubbing his back causing him to calm down, he stopped panting "it was all a nightmare you could tell me about it later, try to calm down," she said with concern written all over her face.
She turned and handed him a glass of water from his table, he drank it all in one gulp.
"Nana, am sorry for waking you up this early, I had a nightmare"
"Am not upset George"
"Thank you, Nana, but am, am ..."
"you're what George?"
"scared"
Nana was surprised, George being scared wasn't something she ever thought she'll witness.
"What happened, why are you scared"
"I killed, no no, I meant, I wanted to kill Evelyn, then someone else killed her and she turned to mum, it was the same dagger that was used to murder mum"
On hearing this Nana could understand why he was scared, it had to do with the death of his mum.
"Nana, I was the one who they wanted to kill not Evelyn, she shielded me just like the way mum shielded me fifteen years ago, I think they're still after me"
"Relax George no one is going to hurt you, go back to sleep, Nana pushed him to lie back on the bed and tucked him in, she was about to leave when George spoke.
"Nana, please don't go, please stay with me, only this once " he begged.
Nana smiled at him, she had wanted to stay with him but thought he might not like it, now he was the one asking how could she refuse.
She climbed into the bed, sat down beside him and sang her most effective lullaby with the sweetest voice ever hoping that it would work on her big baby here.
It worked, before she got to the last verse, he was already fast asleep, she looked at the bedside clock it was already past 4, she turned off the light and drove herself to slumber town.
"Oh shit, we slept in the living room"
"My back aches"
Both Natty and Lisa were complaining they had decided to watch a movie after their dinner and they all fell asleep in the living room but one person was still lost in slumber town.
"Should we wake her or leave her to sleep some more?" Natty asked yawning and stretching
"Let's go wash up, let her have her fill of sleep" Lisa suggested rubbing her sleepy eyes.
"Okay, let's go" Natty stood up and walk towards the bathroom, she lazily took off her pyjamas and entered the bathroom, Lisa followed, it wasn't the first time they were having a bath together.
Lyn woke up minutes later, realizing her friends were having a bath she decided to join in the fun, she got out of her pyjamas and pushed the bathroom door.
"Busted " she yelled "So you think you're going to have fun without me"
They all laughed heartily, they spent about an hour pampering each other's bodies and got out when they were all done.
"Am so famished"
"Yeah, me too, what's for breakfast Lyn"
"Let's make a sandwich then" Lyn suggested.
They put on their Tee's and jeans and followed Lyn to the kitchen to make a sandwich, they all prepared and ate their sandwiches while discussing.
"So Lisa, any lover yet,," Natty asked smiling mischievously.
"No, Natty I don't have a longer"
"What about a crush, someone you like, tell me pretty please"
'sigh'
"I don't like anyone, ask Lyn"
"Don't ask me I have been single since birth"
They had a good time laughing, and their conversation continued for a long time before they decided to do the dishes and go help Nana prepare for the welcome party.
Mrs Soma did her research on the Stone Empire, the owners of the company were unknown and the CEO's identity was also unknown, he was one of those men who ruled the Business empire at a very young age, and rumours had it that he was lesser than 25.
Having underestimated the Stone Empire, Mrs Soma was shocked at the revelation, she now has her eyes on the company.
'This company is going to be mine' she thought grinning evilly, she had no idea how to take over the company, but she planned on confronting one of his workers at his company, bribing them with money and asking them to take a picture of their boss and send it to her.
