Tales Of Love

Larry Tom stood up and put his right hand in his pant’s pocket. He was not hurt at all. The bullets inside the gun were actually plastic ones. His bleeding came from a Superficial injury but didn’t Sustain any fatal injury.

He had acted in a scene of being dead. He had to agree that those in the movies who acted scenes relating to death are highly talented.

Maybe in his next life, he would prefer to be an actor than being a bodyguard.

When the ambulance finally came to pick his assumed dead body he sighed and finally took a deep breath. He had arranged with the driver to come around the party venue and as luck would have it, he came at the nick of time.

The security had called the hospital for an ambulance but before the one they were expecting came, they saw one driving past the manor and stopped him. He was glad it happened so quickly otherwise he would not have been able to hold on too long.

But instead of heading to the hospital, the driver diverted and shot the two guards accompanying them. He dropped him off and shot his own shoulder as a disguise. The two guards were not dead and he knows it but they would have to spend some time before recovering. He only washed his injuries, applied antiseptics and bandaged it himself.

Eve Diego removed her face cap and placed a parcel on the table. “Good job and very impressive. Because of your good performance, I added an extra 10% to your charges”.

Larry Tom took the parcel and tore it open. Inside was a Visa, an identity card and a bundle of money. He took the money and gave it a peck.

This money was the reason he sold his conscience. This money was the only reason he lost his humanness and chose to go the part of greed.

Next he looked at the Visa and the ID card. He gave a chuckle and put the cigarette back into his mouth.

“You are now David Nick. I’ve booked you the first flight tomorrow morning to St Petersburg” Eve Diego said.

” What about my wife and daughter?” Larry Tom asked. He might have lent himself out to carry out a detestable act but he certainly was a good father and a doting husband.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

“I will send them to you as promised, but you have to leave first” Eve Diego assured him.

He waited for Eve Diego to leave first before putting on his disguise and disappeared into the alley.

Same time in another old house, Grey Logan slowly opened his eyes. His vision was blurred. He blinked several times before it became clear. He raised himself to sit and looked around. Where was he?.

He saw his mother lay on the floor a little farther from him.

He remembered everything that had happened . They were at home when the doorbell rang. He went to the door and saw two men standing. when they saw him, they smiled. He was the one who let them in.

They said Aurora Logan had sent them to have her family brought to Axel’s patriarch’s birthday.

Grey Logan and his mother were a bit skeptical as to why Aurora would send someone to pick them to a party without giving them a call first.

But when the men said Aurora was going to be engaged to President Axel and her family was to be present. Millie Logan was convinced.

Grey had that uneasy feeling and wanted to ask a few more questions but his mother tugged at his shirt.

The men then presented a beautiful dress for Millie Logan and a Suit to Grey saying Miss Aurora would have them wear it.

They soon got dressed and his mother applied a little makeup. When he saw his mother’s beautiful face and her smile, he could tell how happy she was for her daughter. But when they got into the car, they felt something was not right but then it was too late.

Before they could ask any question, they saw the men bring out handkerchiefs and pressed it against their nostrils.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves tied to chairs and their mouths taped.

Grey Logan couldn’t see his mother’s face because they were sitting back to back but felt she was crying. He tried and struggled to get free but couldn’t.

“Grey” Millie Logan called her son. When she opened her eyes, she saw her son seated and probably lost in his thoughts. She also remembered what had happened to them yesterday.

Was it really yesterday? She can’t tell how long they had been unconscious. The last thing she remembered was that one of the men faced them both with a camera and took pictures.

The handkerchief was placed on their nostrils again and she felt dizzy. She didn’t know what happened next except opening her eyes a while ago and saw it was only her and Grey in the room.

Grey looked towards the direction his mother lay and saw her trying to stand up. Quickly he stood up and went to help her into a sitting position. Her eyes were moist and yet tried to hold back her tears.

“Mum, are you alright?” Grey asked but quickly regretted why he asked that question. How can she possibly be alright with all that had happened to them.

They got outside the old house and discovered they were at the outskirt of the city. They walked for a while until they were able to find a taxi.

They had hardly alighted from the taxi when their neighbor started pointing at them. When they got closer they saw Julian Brabra.

He looked worried. This was the third time he came to find Millie Logan. He went to their old house twice until a good samaritan gave him the address of their present residence. He tried calling Millie Logan but her line and that of Grey were switched off.

When he heard the news about Aurora this morning, he refused to believe it. He saw that his previous relationship with Aurora was dug out and various negative comments were made about her. But after President Axel’s news, he knew Aurora was going to have bad days ahead.

“Why are you here?…”
