Noah’s Pov:
“Noah!” Mum called in excitement as soon as she spotted me.
I met her in the kitchen.
“Good morning, mum” I beamed and received the hug she offered.
“Oh! My dear son! Finally,you’re home”she said perkily and kssed my cheek.
“I’ve missed you. How was your night?”
“It was fine,thanks” I replied.
She took a slice of fried plantain and pushed it into my mouth and I couldn’t resist.
She smiled as she watched me chew.
“Finally, He’s home” I heard dad say and turned to see him walking into the kitchen.
I cleared my throat and stood properly to face him.
“Good morning, dad” I greeted and awaited the scold.
“Yeah, good morning. And I hope you already have an explanation for the rumours flying around. What is it about you and the Maxine girl?” He asked in that strict tone of his.
“Dad…it’s nothing you guys should worry about. I’m just trying to be of help” I replied.
“Be of help? What’re you talking about?”
“Well…the Maxine lady…she’s been suffering a lot in their hands of her so called family. They’ve turned her into a slave and use her like a piece of rag. It’s pretty annoying and…I just thought I should be of help”. I explained and for a moment, he was speechless.
“So…you decided to take her away against her family’s will and live with her?” He asked and I itched my head.
“Those people don’t deserve to be called her family, dad. They…”
“So, why should it concern you?” He cut me off.
“I mean, what relationship do you have with her? And how did you even get to know about the ill- treatment she receives from her family? Did she discuss them with you or what?”
I shook my head.
“Noah, if she’s having a problem with her family, the police should be the ones to handle that, not you. I don’t see any reason you should meddle in unrelated people’s affairs”.
“I’m not, dad. Just leave it to me, okay? I can handle it” I replied, already getting pissed off.
“Noah” mum called tenderly and placed her hand on my shoulder.
“Your father’s right. You need to let go of that girl to avoid having disputes with her family”.
“They can do nothing. And I’m not letting her go. Just chill, mum. Okay? Please” I huffed and sank my fingers into my hair.
“Talk to your son. Talk to him” dad said angrily and walked away and I rolled my eyes.
Yeah – whatever.
“Noah” mum called and sighed.
“You need to listen to your dad”.
“I’ve told you, mom. I’m fine. You don’t have worry about me. Maxine will be staying with me until she decides to leave” I replied peskily and she shrugged.
“Help me with the tray. Come on, and join me for breakfast” she said as she took the plate of fried plantains and started walking out of the kitchen and I lifted the last tray and followed her.

Maxine’s Pov:
I came out of the bathroom with a towel tied around my chest and was about taking my dress from the bed when a news from the tele gripped my attention.
They were announcing the chosen contestants!
I paused to watch with keen interests as they displayed it on the tele.
Wow!
The A3 made it!
So many others..
And…
Oh my gee! I was among!!
I made it.
“Yes!!!” I exclaimed and jumped up in excitement.
“I did it! Yes!”
I laughed and fell on the bed and my towel nearly got loosed from my chest.
Oh! Good saviors! I made it!
I giggled happily and turned on the bed.
But a knock on the door interrupted the moment as I sat up.
“Who’s it?” I asked but got no reply.
It was probably a maid.
I left the bed and went to check it out and as soon as I opened the door, my feet wobbled.
Whaaaaaat?
“R…Rex?” I called in shock as he smirked at me.
Oh my God! What’s he doing here??
Immediately, he brought out a small gun from his pocket and signalled me to keep shut.

Noah’s Pov:
After eating with mum, I decided to leave and she accompanied me to my car.
“I miss you, Noah. If you really want Maxine to be with you, why don’t you bring her over to the house so we can all be together?” She asked wistfully and I shook my head.
“I can’t,mum” I replied
“But why? Is it because of your brother?” She asked and I nodded.
“I don’t want him close to Maxine. You know what happened. And that lady has gone through a lot already to face anymore troubles” .
She didn’t say any other thing until I finally got to my car.
“Well, just be careful, okay?” She held my cheek and said and I nodded.
“Bye mum”.
“Bye”.
And I walked into the car.
I turned on the engines and took off and in a few minutes, I was on the road.

I had barely gone far when the car started slowing down and malfunctioning.
I hit the sterling repeatedly, getting pissed off at it.
What could possibly be wrong?
Finally, it screeched to a halt and I flinched.
“F**k!!* i rasped and hit the sterling
It was probably a flat tyre.
Like…today of all times???
I groaned and stepped out of the car to check it out and immediately, a black car pulled over in front of me with three boys coming out of it
I ignored them and went to have a look at the tyre but surprisingly, the boys came to me.
“Mr Noah” one of them called and I stood to face them.
They were strange.
“Yes…can I help you?” I asked, wondering who they were and what business they had with me.
“Um…actually, we don’t need any help from you. We just have something quick and important to do” another replied and before I could realize what was happening, he landed a punch on my face.
Whaaaat??
What the h*ell??
I touched my cheek and looked at them in shock and immediately, they all bounced on me.

Maxine’s Pov:
He pointed the gun at me and signalled me to go in and I did and he locked the door afterwards.
“Hello Maxine” he smirked and clicked the gun, making me hyperventilate.
“How’re you doing?”
I shuddered in fear.
“S…sir Rex” I stuttered.
“What’re you doing?”
“Shut the f**k up, Maxine, before I blow off your head” he rasped and I shivered.
Oh my God! Why does it have to be now that Noah’s not at home?
He adjusted the gun in his hand and moved closer to me. He smiled as he walked round me.
“Seems you’re just coming out of the bathroom” he stated calmly, making me really scared.
Why does this have to happen now?
“Has Noah gained access to it?” He asked, but I couldn’t say a word.
Surprisingly, he took his hand to the tip of the towel and my eyes dilated in shock.
“Please, don’t” I wavered and moved away from him and he pointed the gun at me.
“If you take one more step, I’ll cripple you” he blurted and I whimpered
“What do you want from me? Please” I wept and he smiled and came closer.
“Well…I’m here to give you two options.
“Tell me your relationship with Noah and the bar-man or I’ll f**k you to death this very instance” he threatened and I gasped.
Whaat?
