I still couldn't understand the reason we entered the SUV without any form of questions or inquiries.
We drove for a while and later diverted from the main road,that was when I realized we were in deep shit.
Minutes later the car was already getting engolved in smoke,it took us only 1 minutes before we slumped on the seats of the car.
The drivers were not affected as they were on mask .
We woke up to see ourselves in a cavernous, dingy space shrouded in an eternal gloom that seemed to cling to every surface ,like damp ,cold.mist wall.once painted a cheerful yellow now wore a faded grimly cloak.like a smile twisted to a snarl .
Shadows danced upon the walls, cast by flickering candles that spat and sputtered ,as if struggling to stay alive .
In the center of the room ,a lone rickety chair creaked and groaned from the dark ,as if carrying a thousand and one secrets .
The air reeked of decay and corruption,heavy with the stench of malevolent intent.
Cobwebs clung to the corners,like a skeletal fingers,as if trying to snuff out the faint eerie glow that sipped through grimy window.
We were seated in chairs that looked like they were begging to be spared as they creaked like hell.
The figure before us was seating in the dark,I could feel his intense gaze upon us, and I can tell it was not looking good
His gaze was nothing less than intense , even from the dark I could see his blues eyes glaring at us like a predator ready to devour his prey .
Who was he and what does he want?my subconscious mind kept poking that question in my mind.
The silence he was given was strikingly painful.atleast i need to know who my abductors were before I die, right?
I tried to inhale some cool country air but all that I inhaled was the scent of fresh blood.
Wait,blood!! Not just any blood but fresh blood.we are definitely in big shit .
On a second thought,we were not even tied to chairs or pole as I had imagined.that was when I realized they really wanted to talk.
But what could this talk really be about.i tried to assimilate thing's but it only got worse.
I just sat there nothing to do ,too afraid to stand up and even run,I wanted to run but I wanted to listen.
What really do they want to talk about?I asked myself yet again.i just sat there lost in my own world of thought.
Out of the blue's I heard this man's voice .this cold, thrilling voice that entailed a lot of secret yet to be uncovered .
"If you don't speak now ,I will cut off your throat and feed it to the birds"I screamed
"Hahaha "he let out a mockery laughter.that was what broke the camels back.
I couldn't endure it anymore,I jumped and rushed at him with the intent of seeing the face behind those must.
Before I could raise my hand and touch his face,he held my hand and threw me off balance.
"Thud!!!! I fell heavily to the ground like some pack of cards.i jumped up immediately not wanting to look weak..
"Who the hell are you really??"I screamed out in frustration.
That was when he stood up, looking very hefty,in his all black regalia his hood was giving his face some kind of dangerous look.
His eyes were barely visible,as he stood he let out a dry cynical laughter .that got me questioning his motive.
After his short round of laughter,he finally spoke out.
"Tasha was killed because greed!!"
" What do you mean!?"
"I don't understand "
"Tasha was killed because of greed and the culprit is hovering around you, ready to take down anything that comes in her way"he reapeted
"I still don't understand,what kind of greed?,who is she?why Tasha of all people?what is in her custody that was worth taking her life for?this were the questions that were ringing in my head.
When suddenly a white smoke engolved us,and that was it
(SOMEWHERE IN MEXICO)
"I hope you did a clean job? Ravenna asked
"Yes ,it was clean ,I just want the balance you owe me for the job."
" Fine ,send your account details to my phone,and expect it before you get home, alright "
"Yes,boss",he replied and immediately forwarded his account details to her and left .
"I will so destroy his family,he will regret not putting I and my daughter in his will"she whispered through gritted teeth.
She picked her car keys and walked out of the uncompleted building .she transferred the money as promised and left.
(BACK IN ENGLAND)
Vanessa Xavier and i, we all found themselves on the road at the middle of nowhere.
No tracks that looks familiar not even a single recognition of the road we're in.
Lucky for us we had our phones intact, I quickly switched on my location and tried checking where we are.
We were two miles from the main road where we can board a taxi that will take us to our desired destination.
We started walking having no other alternative.all through the walk,all what was in my head was what the guy in a mask said.
How did greed lead to Tasha's death?how is it possible that someone closer to me is the culprit.
I looked at Xavier not wanting to believe what my mind was telling me .I started questioning his motive.
Right from the day we entered England he has been there ,the boutique saga,and he was the available person during Tasha's death.
I kept wondering was he that available,or was it only towards me,for some reasons best known to him.
We walked for about 40 minutes before we emerged on a road where we can board a taxi from.
We boarded a taxi that took us all to the hotel.we got there and I didn't even bother to say anything,I was just walked to my room and pretended like nothing happened.
I went straight to my room and laid on my bead and started crying.i cried for about three minutes before the thought flashed through my head again.
"Who was behind her death" I asked my self.who wants to ruin my family so bad that she is ready to go to any length?and what greed was he talking about????
To be continued......
