"If I find out you are lying to me..." Benjamin kept his statement hanging. Aliyah knew this man to well to know of her fate if she deceived him but she had runned out of options now.
Aliyah was escorted by Benjamin with about thirty five bodyguards. They were currently on their way outside to follow Aliyah to Clara's house in case she tried anything silly but was caught off guard with what she did.
Benjamin who was closest to Aliyah has been observing her every move but was still caught off guard by what she did. She packed her huge ballgown in her hands and dropped it abruptly causing some yellowish powder like substance to cover a wide range around her.
"CATCH HER!!" Benjamin screamed at the twenty men who were far ahead of them and weren't affected by the substance. Immediately they heard their boss's voice, they knew something might have happened so the team ran back immediately.
The distance between the bodyguards at her front and the ones back wasn't very big but was enough distance to give Aliyah a headstart. She sprung out of the encirclement with a more comfortable outfit than the one she wore before and dashed towards the exit which was about 5 kilometres from her.
She removed a gas line structure from her face which she used to protect herself from the burning effect of that powder. The powder was a very rare substance owned by a handful of people and her family happened to possess a reasonable quantity which she stored safely for a few years now.
The powder made one to go blind for about 10 minutes with a burning sensation felt on the skin. She turned her head back to see about twenty bodyguards running towards her at full speed and she began to worry while increasing her speed.
About 4 kilometres left. She conforted herself as she ran full speed towards the gate. The compound was very big not to mention how far the exit was from the hall itself so she was beginning to get tired even with her physically trained body.
'I've been running for about 7 minutes so Benjamin should get his sight back in 3 minutes. I can't waste anymore time I need speed.' She said inwardly as she continued her race.
She has been running for fifteen minutes and by this time, Benjamin has already gotten a car and was fast approaching from behind. Some of the weaker bodyguards collapsed midway due to starvation and over fatigue leaving only twelve men in pursuit.
In another 3 minutes or so, Benjamin has successfully blocked Aliyah from the front which caused her to be locked in a stalemate. The fifteen bodyguards and Benjamin jumped out quickly surrounding her from all direction.
Aliyah's already paled face turned sheet white when Benjamin approached her with a gun and
hit her hard leaving a deep dent. Blood flowed continuously as Aliyah held her head swaying a little due to the loss of so much blood.
"You cunning b*tch...how dare you trick me. You wanted to run right...watch what happens to your beautiful 'mother'..." Benjamin then pulled out a small looking remote control fron his pants and pressed the red button.
There was a deafening sound which came after and Aliyah could already guess what just happened.
"NOOOOOO!!" She screamed. Benjamin just bombed the hall she was coming from. The hall where Sam and Mr Jones as well as their child and granddaughter were.
Looking at the dark smoke that filled the sky a few kilometres from her made her heart hurt like hell. The only family of Martha...the one which she cherished dearly...
The family which Martha would always talk about in the highest prestige possible whenever they met just perished because of her.
Aliyah could vividly remember the cheerful teenager who was always smiling even in the face of distress, looking at her with a sorrowful but cute expression on her face for the first time since they met, begging her to take good care of her family in case she departed earlier.
She could remember how Martga cried in front of her when telling her of her short life span and how heart breaking it would be for her family if she died. She could see herself promising to fiil in Martha's place so her parent could live a happy life.
But now... The very family which she had sworn to protect with her life had perished right in front of her because of her own personal problems.
How was she to face Martha in the after life??
She thought to herself. But before she could accept the reality before her, the worst people she could meet at this time were seen approaching her location with full speed.
Jenny and Max were see on the driver's and passenger's seat respectively with Monica at the back. Jenny who was laughing with both kids didn't realise the situation they were approaching and stopped half a mile from Aliyah's location.
"Whats going on hear? Has the party ended??" Jenny who was grinning from ear to ear suddenly frowned on seeing the sight before him.
His baby sister was currently on the floor with a bleeding forehead and there were some armed men who be had me feet met around her.
"Jen Jen....GO AWAY NOW!!!" "PLEASE TAKE MY DAUGHTER OUT OF HERE...GO NOW!!" Aliyah screamed with the last bit of strength she had before collapsing with only a tiny bit of consciousness left.
Jenny who realised that something was wrong from the very beginning sprinted in the direction he came at with full speed.
"GET HIM!!" Benjamin roared. Immediately, two tall and slim men darted into action chasing after Jenny as quickly as they could.
Jenny was quite tall so coupled with his initial momentum, he was ahead of them. Max who was seating in the passenger's seat noticed Jenny running towards them with two men following behind. He came out to understand what was going on but was met with a command from Jenny.
"TAKE THE WHEELS AND GET THE F*CK OUT OF HERE AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN. GO!!" Max quickly rushed to the driver's seat, started the car and sped off in the opposite direction. He is a very good observer so he knew a thing or two about driving from watching Chris for so long.
His driving was not smooth but at least the distance between them was increasing. Aliyah noticed the situation from far away so she made up her mind and stood up with wobbling legs.
Benjamin was distracted by Jenny and his intruders so Aliyah jumped on him snatching the remote control and hit a random button.
"NOOOOO!!" Be Jamie screamed. His right hand man who was always by his side suddenly freezed and was covered in cold sweat. "EVERYONE...RUN!!!" He screamed running in the opposite direction.
A bomb was attached to his right hand man and it was going to explode in thirty seconds. Aliyah herself was so scared that she also ran even faster than she would have ran in her best condition.
The thirty seconds flew in the blink of an eye and a deafening 'BOM'was heard. Monica who has been observing the situation from the backseat noticed the black smoke that filled the air with the overwhelming fire underneath.
"MOM!!!" She screamed in terror before the last bit of consciousness she had faded.
