The Fear He Didn’t Knew Existed
Jake and his men were at a T junction. Otani was handcuffed, leg-cuffed and blindfolded, he was made to kneel down before Jake’s car.
Jake’s Mercedes G-wagon was in front while three Lexus cars parked behind it like a fleet. Jake was sitting in the passenger seat in front while some of his men secured the perimeters. Two of his men stood side by side to the car he was in, they both wore a black suit and their hands dipped underneath their jacket like special protection unit.
In a jiffy, the van carrying Flora arrived and Flora was forcefully dragged down by one of the vans occupant.
When Richarlison noticed the van had stopped about 300 metres away. He paid the cab driver and alighted. The cab driver was clever that the van driver didn’t notice the cab was trailing him.
Richarlison thanked the driver before he entered the rubber tree plantation that surrounded the whole vicinity. He needed to get a clear shot of who Flora was meeting with, and most importantly why?
Soon, he was hiding under the bush and was video recording the whole incident, ranging from Flora bringing out the silver ring from her bra and handling it to Jake.
Jake gave out a diabolical chuckle when he truly scrutinized the ring and confirmed it was real and original.
“I did what you asked of me… Let my son go!”
“Mum… You shouldn’t-” Otani wanted to speak but was cut short with a fury that crashed into him.
“Arhhhh!” He cried out in agony. Only God knows the suffering he has endured while being held captive.
“Please… Let my son be. A bargain is a bargain!” Flora cried out. She was finding it hard to endure the pain her son was passing through.
“Don’t worry. I’m gonna save him from the suffering of this world… I have what I wanted, nothing can stop me now….” Jake said in his evil tone and glanced at the man beside Otani. “Kill him!” He ordered,
“No!!!!” Flora shouted out loudly as he sped towards Otani. Meantime, the lackey had pointed a gun at Otani.
“Kill him and his godforsaken mum….” Jake’s voice rang through again. He smirked the next moment “Mark will feel my fury now!”
Kpoooooooooooooo!
A gun shot was heard the next moment.
Jake turned to see how Otani struggles till he becomes lifeless. Surprisingly, he was not the one that was shot. Flora took the bullet for him and blood was already gushing out of her mouth and blood flowing down from her stomach.
“Mum?” Confused and blindfolded Otani blurted out. He had accepted he would be killed when Jake gave the order, but still… He has not felt any pain from gun shot since the gun shot was heard. And then next, a body collapsed into him.
“Kill him!” Jake pressed in with his order.
Another gun shot was heard next and Otani too collapsed to the floor. He was hitherto kneeling and now the bullet pierced through his abdomen and if he is not surgically operated on by a specialist in the next 2 hours, he would definitely kick the bucket.
“Let them rot in hell!” Jake said and spat to the flood as he entered his car.
In the next moment, the fleets of cars drove off!
Richarlison who had been video recording cursed in pain. He had never seen someone as cruel as Jake, despite being a mercenary. Well, in the military, they dont kill unarmed opponents.
Jake got what he wanted and still shot the both of them. However, Richarlison doesn’t have time to deliberate or think much about what had just happened. He came out of his hiding immediately Jake and his men left and he then sent out his coordinate to Mark at once, alongside, he said its urgent he comes with ambulance and backup.
Mark was on his way to meet Diana at prison. She is been there for 24 hours now without food or water. He didn’t know why he cared for her well being. She is a traitor, still he was not convinced and feels guilty for letting her suffer in that dungeon.
Last night it rained heavily and it drenched her heavily in that dungeon.
“What?” Mark’s emergency hormone got stimulated when he discerned the urgency in the message he just received.
He immediately informed the medical team and some soldiers and a fleet of military cars were on their way to the coordinate Richarlison sent.
The ambulance in front was blowing their sirens. It was plying at a very high speed.
At exactly four minutes times they arrived.
When Mark got down, he was heartbroken to see his mum drenched in her own blood.
“Quick Doctor… Save her!” He yelled on top of his lungs as he held her closely and urging her to stay with him
“Mum please.. stay with me!” Those were his words. He didn’t realize he had this kind of fear in him. He had never been afraid of losing someone this much.
His mum literally handshaking death instilled a fear he didn’t knew existed into him.
Beside him, the medical team was attending to Otani after the cuffs were completely removed. He had much survival rate compared to Flora.
“How the fuck did you hide somewhere and watch someone kill my mother?
Richarlison who was trying to calm Mark down was yelled out and he stepped back, watching Mark wince in pain.
Richarlison was quite taken aback, this was the second time he had seen him this angry and at the brink of tears.
“I’m sorry son – cough cough – … I’m afraid I may not survive this…” Flora spoke between the intense pain she was feeling.
“Mum please… Stay with me. Don’t do this to me!” Mark urged in pains.
“I and your father disappointed you as your parents and I hoped I can make it all up to you… but …”
“Shiiiisssh! Don’t say anything. You’ll be fine okay?” Mark wanted to assure her. He believed that we die once we believe we won’t make it.
“I’m sorry son… I truly I’m…” Flora continued.
“Cut my hands open… Here….” Flora raised her hands effortlessly to show Mark her arm.
“Underneath it, you’ll find a small scroll.. -cough cough-….” She started to cough out black blood this time around. Her face was now devoid of blood circulation as she was slowly dying.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
The doctor finally arrived with the emergency kits but Mark pushed him away instead. He knew she wouldn’t make it not even if the doctors try.
“Give the scroll to Diana.. and, and -cough cough- your dad…..” Those were her last words before she became lifeless.
Mark winced in pain…. and curiosity. “His dad?
