Sexy, Seductive, and Sultry

“Ann? What have I done to you to deserve all these?” Isabelle demanded with tears and Ann cackled, enjoying the way Isabelle mourned.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“You’ve done quite a lot, I don’t know where I’ll start from… is it from the insults I’ve received from you to the excessive care you get from your father or to the tasks of clearing scandals which you’ve created?” Ann retorted.

“How is Annabella?”

“My daughter is battling with her life all because of you, if anything happens to her, I’ll send your corpse to your father” Ann threatened and Alessandro growled, struggling to lose the ropes.

“Oh, the love doll. I can’t get what you see in her, she’s a rude spoiled piece of trash yet you’ve endangered your life countless times because of her, love is indeed blind… And oh, you have more friends now, I hope these one wouldn’t be after your position like the rest” Ann mocked.

“You’re shameless huh, having an affair with a married man… You should always bury your head in shame” Alessandro jested and Ann burst into laughter.

“It’s not a shame… I call it taking advantage of the situation… I did it because I wanted a good life and now my plans are falling into place… Your father can’t even lift a pen without my consent” Ann laughed.

“I know my father, he would never sit back and watch you treat me this way… let me go you psychopath!” Isabelle yelled and Ann slapped her cheek.

“The only thing your father would know is your death… Even at your death, you’re still saucy… too bad you’ll be dying” Ann mocked, feigning puppy eyes.

“I don’t care if I die, all I’m concerned about is Annabella and my friends, let them go… this is between us, leave them out of this” She pleaded.

“No! I won’t leave you here alone” Alessandro promised and Ann laughed.

“Stop the love jokes, nobody is leaving this place alive. I’ll leave you to say your parting words while I think about the suitable death for each of you” Ann chuckled, walking out.

“My father would never spare you!” Isabelle yelled.

“It’s all gonna be fine… let’s hope for a miracle” Brianna muttered.

“If eventually we die, I’m so sorry guys… it’s all my fault you’re here… I wish I had never come into your lives” Isabelle wept.

“Meeting you changed my life positively, I’m glad I met you” Brianna mumbled.

“You’ve been a great friend, I wish I had known you before now” Thomas added.

“Both in health and death, I’ll forever love you. Meeting you has been the best thing that happened to me… if I die today, I’ll die the happiest man, your love would be evergreen in my heart” Alessandro confessed and Isabelle wept very heart, sobbing loudly.

“If only Elena could get a hold of my phone” Darrell thought loudly, ignoring what they had been saying.

“I’m gonna miss you too man” Alessandro replied, making them burst into laughter.

They all sighed sadly as silence descended on them, each had several thoughts running in their minds.

Lettice’s POV

I walked out of the house, entering my car… this is strange, Darrell promised to call me today but it’s evening already and I haven’t received a call.

I think going to Thomas’s house is better, since I saw Isabelle. I sped off, taking the route towards Thomas’s house.

I input the pin and the gate opened, the air smelt foul and I walked inside, not bothering to close the door of my car.

Everywhere was unusually quiet and I stumbled on something, fear gripped me as I switched on my phone torch.

“Ahh!” I yelled, covering my mouth as I stared at the dead body, looking around I saw several bodies.

My heart raced as I wondered if anything had happened to them, where were they? What happened?

I checked the faces and noticed they all had masks, none of them looked like Isabelle and I rushed inside.

My heart was thumping fast as I walked slowly inside the house, it was deserted and I saw two phones on the ground.

I picked them up immediately. One phone rang, it must be Darrell’s own.

What should I do? How would I find them? Damn!

I took out my phone, copied the number that had called Darrell and dialed it.

Heading outside, the number picked.

“Hel.. hello..” I muttered fearfully.

“Yes, who’s this?”

“I’m a friend of Darrell.. more like a colleague, I don’t know if you’re aware but we’re working in secret..” I muttered slowly and after much hesitation the person replied.

“Yes, what type of job?”

“I can’t tell you but I was wondering if you’re working with him on this case because something terrible has happened”

“What?!. Tell me where you are, I’ll meet you now” Was the reply I got.

“Meet me at Richa’s estate… please it urgent” I replied and hung up, racing for my car.

I raced towards the location, wondering what had happened, I checked my rear mirror, praying nobody follows me.

I sighted a man getting out of a car at the roundabout, he was busy with his phone and I received a call.

“Hi..” I whispered loudly and he drew closer to me.

“Where’s Darrell?” He demanded.

“I don’t know… He promised to call me today but I went to where we usually met and the whole place was covered with dead bodies. I saw his phone and that of my other friends on the ground” I explained.

“Follow me” The man ordered and I ran after him, leaving my car.

He drove madly towards an unknown area and stopped outside a small hut.

“His phone” He demanded and I handed it to him, sweating and shivering.

“What are you doing?” I demanded.

“Trying to track him, a tracker is on his body and I’ll use his phone to find him” The man replied and I began to calm down.

“I’ve found him!” The man yelled after 15 minutes.

“You can go, I’ll get the boys” He replied and I shook my head adamantly.

“He’s also my friend, I want to go!” I retorted and he glanced at me strangely.

“Have you ever handled a gun?” His question threw me off balance but I didn’t have time to answer as another person rushed inside, announcing that everyone was ready.

A pistol was handed to me and with shaky hands, I collected it.

Outside was filled with about 12 guns who were fully armed, one glance at them and I knew these guys were skilled.

We headed towards the location and I stared at the gun in my hands.

I’ve seen how guns are being used but never for once have I imagined holding or using one.

We stopped on the road and 5 guys went ahead, tiptoeing with their guns loaded.

We waited for them and after 6 long minutes, they returned, bringing back news about how the house was filled with guards.

“Use the gas” The man ordered and two small bottles were removed from the car, we all walked towards the large building and the bottles were thrown inside while some guards flew over the fence.

After 15 minutes, the door opened and nausea hit me, I felt dizzy staring at the blood covered bodies on the ground.

We all split into groups and headed towards different directions. I shivered when I heard a gunshot.

From the looks of things, more guards were coming, everyone split, ready for battle as some guards walked inside firing gunshots.

I hid at a corner, watching as things unfolded, my heart was beating loudly and sweat filled my whole body.

A gasp escaped my lips when I saw a guard bringing out a knife, he was about to stab the guy who had tracked Darrell.

My mind felt blank and I was short of ideas, if I screamed, I would surely be exposing myself… wait, the gun…

No, no, I can’t do this.. I can’t kill anyone, I shook my head, I have to do this, this is the only solution.

Raising the gun, I aimed at the man and closed my eyes, pulling the trigger. I was shoved to the back and I winced as my body hit the wall.

Opening my eyes, I sighed with relief when I saw him on the floor.

“Let’s go” I raised my head and saw the man grinning at me, his hand outstretched.

I swallowed and took his hand, standing up. We headed towards another room, meeting the second group.

“I think they’re here!” Someone yelled, pointing at another room.

They tried to break into the room but failed.

“What are we gonna do?” I muttered and two guys entered, holding two big daggers, damn! They’re fast and efficient.

They began hitting the edge of the door, trying to break the bolts. After 10 minutes of hitting, the door seemed weak and kicked it, the door fell.

Isabelle

They all sat at an angle in the dark room, dreading the unknown, the noise had made fear gripping them and they wondered what was going on outside.

When they heard the pounding of the door, their hearts raced, wondering who they would find.

Isabelle accepted her fate, closing her eyes and muttering a prayer while Alessandro drew closer to her.

Thomas and Brianna rested on each other and Darrell just sat alone, smiling to himself.

The only thing he dreaded was being captured by another enemy.

Tears were rolling out of Isabelle and Brianna’s eyes and he rolled his eyes, not wanting to say anything.

The door flung down and a touch was pointed at them, a hard faced looking man looked down at them.

“Just kill me” Isabelle muttered bravely, moving in front and the torch was pointed at Darrell who had a big grin on his face.

He was smiling and so was the hard faced man, a figure rushed to Isabelle, jumping on her.

“You’re alive!” Lettice yelled, hugging her tightly.
