HER ADVERSITY: Chapter 61 – The End
By Obianke Prosper
Chapter Seventy One
GRACE POV
Dylan’s eyes widened as a huge ball of fear hit him. He watched Grace fell off Duncan’s arm, her face was pale and her eyes were dim.
He saw the way she laid on the floor, lifeless like a tired bag of cement.
His body grew hot and he almost lost his balance. For seconds, he stopped breathing, he felt dead, shocked like he have never been shocked in his life before.
“Grace”.His voice was low, he couldn’t hear himself. For the first time in a long time he was scared, he was shivering.
“Oops!”.He heard Duncan chuckled. The laughter made his red teary eyes glare at Duncan who was staring unconcerned at Grace body on the floor.
“What have you done?”.Dylan thundered, his voice deeper than before.
Duncan didn’t even seem scared or concerned. He had a smirk on his face, one that showed satisfaction.
“Your girlfriend is dead, so what? Do I look like I care?”.
Dylan frowned deeply and grabbed his gun to shoot Duncan. Then the fight began.
Edwin and Job who were more experienced in guns and fights than Dylan’s boys shoot the boys. Two of Dylan’s four boys died while the remaining two, Caleb and Pete fought Edwin and Job.
Meanwhile Dylan shoot Duncan but Duncan who was very skilled missed and ran very fast to Dylan, he threw a punch on him and Dylan hissed as Duncan’s fists collided on his face.
Angered to the bones, Dylan grabbed Duncan’s hand and twisted it. He smirked when he heard the bones twisting but he didn’t give Duncan time to bear the pain.
He punched him and Duncan staggered backwards gritting his teeth angrily.
Duncan made to attack but Dylan seemed faster this time, he threw a kick on Duncan and slapped him hard across his face, so hard that one of his eyes got swollen.
“You ba$tard!”.Duncan spat out blood from his mouth and suddenly gave Dylan an uppercut. Dylan screamed as he fell on the floor.
He was really weak and he felt dizzy. His days on expiring and he shouldn’t be here, he should be in a quiet place, enjoying the rest of his life but here he was, fighting for the girl he loved who Duncan killed.
Smirking Duncan sat on Dylan and began throwing blows at him. Dylan tried to stand to avoid Duncan blows but he wasn’t able to. He struggled for seconds until he got fed up, got mad when he saw Grace’s body laying helplessly on the floor.
Tears burned his eyes and he furiously pushed Duncan away roughly. Duncan fell hard on the floor, landing on his back. He groaned. It seemed like his backbone got hurt from the fall but Dylan didn’t pity him. Did he even care? No, he didn’t.
He was about shooting Duncan with a gun but was attacked but Duncan’s boys, Edwin and Job. They had succeeded in killing Pete and Caleb.
They punched him, kicked him while blood flowed out of Dylan’s mouth.
The environment was now blurry to him but no, he wasn’t gonna die. He wanted to revenge Grace..
He gathered the little strength he had and gave a slide kick to Edwin which lifted him off the floor. Job attacked, headbutting Dylan and Dylan fell on the floor, blood oozing out of his mouth and nose.
Edwin who landed on the floor with his head got his skull broken. Job frowned at that and faced Dylan furiously.
“You dmn fool, you’ll regret this”.He held a gun to shoot Dylan but Dylan turned the gun backwards, facing Job himself.
The bullet hit Job and Job stared wide eyed at Dylan with blood running out of his mouth.
“Yo…”.He fell lifeless to the floor before he could complete a word.
Dylan gasped, feeling much pains all over him. Blood oozed out more from his mouth, his throat feeling blocked. He felt sick, he felt like vomiting but the substance wouldn’t come out.
He was trying to stand when Duncan suddenly showed up, punching him.
He fell hard on the floor, growing in agony. Duncan sat on him and began his punches.
“Your father destroyed my life… You ba$tard! He took my money from me, he took my woman from me, he took my happiness from me. I hate him, I hate you, I killed him, I will kill you! Haha… This feels so good….”.He was laughing as he dealt with Dylan.
Dylan felt his fingers go shaky as he took hold of Job’s gun which killed Job, he smiled at Duncan who glanced at him confused.
“Why are you smiling, you…”.
“Say your last words, uncle”.
What Dylan said made him go more angrier.
“Son of a bch, you’ll di…”.
He shot Duncan and Duncan slowly fell off him.
Angrier than ever, he didn’t know where the strength came from as he sat on Duncan bathing him with his own punches.
“You ruined my life, you old man! You took everything from me, what haven’t you taken? My parents, my boys, even Grace the girl I’ve ever loved. You devil, damn you, die, die, die! Go to hell…”.
He fell off Duncan when he felt no strength to move again…

HER ADVERSITY: Chapter 61 – The End
Grace’s eyes went opened and she gasped silently when she felt some pains on her waist. It hurts…really badly.
“Dmn!”.She cursed as she held the wound. Suddenly, all that happened ran in her head and she gasped, remembering Dylan.
She wondered why she haven’t died yet then she realized the bullet only scratched her waist. Thank goodness it didn’t go inside her… She knew she would have died.
She stated around but her nose scrunched up when she saw dead bodies on the floor. She grew weak immediately at the silent house.
Where is everybody? Where is Dylan? Hope he is okay? Where is he? Where?!
She was scared. She tried to stand but it wasn’t easy for her, the way she fell on the floor when the bullet scratched her gave her backpains and her waist too hurts.
The wound wasn’t so deep and their wasn’t much blood running out, she was thankful for that.
She walked slowly trying to avoid roaming her eyes around the wounds of the corpses on the floor but she couldn’t help gasping when she saw Edwin broken skull on the floor. It was a disgusting sight…
Grace felt troubled.
A tough fight had happened, she knew that. It was obvious, wasn’t it? She was scared about Dylan’s outcome. Where the heck was he?
A loud gasp had left her mouth when she saw Duncan laying dead with a wide wound on his forehead and beside him was…. Dylan!
“Dylan?”.Tears streamed down her face at the pale white body on the floor. The body was still…not moving, not breathing?
“Dylan!”.She called, her teats dropping on his body and then, immediately his eyes went opened slowly.
“G..Grace?”.Blood flowed out of his mouth as he coughed.
“Dylan…Oh, you are alive. Thank God”.Tears of joy flew off her eyes as she stared happily at Dylan who seemed so weak.
“A..am so…rry”.
“Huh? Why are you apologizing? We are both alive, you should be happy”.
“A..am sorry Grace”.He repeated, vomiting out more blood. Dark blood. Grace shivered at this. “F..for letting y..you ge..t hurt bec…ause of me”.
“No Dylan, it’s not your fault. Am fine, huh, am fine”.Grace heart was beating loudly in her chest.
“Am s..sorry”.Dylan voice sounded distant as he spoke. “F..for not te…lling you th…his”.
“What Dylan? Please, don’t tell me anything. Stop talking please….Come on! Stand, lemme take you to an hospital. I promise you’ll be okay”.Tears gathered in her eyes as she spoke.
She grabbed Dylan’s hot arm as gently as she could. “please Dylan be strong if not for anybody then for me…please don’t leave me alone. Am sorry for not being there for you, am sorry for not spending enough time with you. Am sorry for yelling at you in class when you were taunting me… I was just so angry with you. In fact, I promise never to be angry with you again, I promise to never yell at you again. Please continue taunting me, you can yell at me, curse me but please don’t leave me alone…please”.
Grace couldn’t stop crying. How could she? This was the most saddest day of her life.
“S..top crying”.Dylan cooed, trying to smile even tho it appears fake. “Please don’t, you will do that for me, huh?”.
Having no choice, she nodded and wiped her tears away quickly.
“I…I wanted to tell you that…”.He paused, inhaling some breaths while glancing at her with his watery eyes. “That I love you”.
Her heart skipped two beats as she shared at him, shocked.
“W…what?”.
“I..I have been stub..born”.He coughed, his face squeezing in pain. “I..never wanted you to know, I thought been rude to you would help but it didn’t. Am sorry…that I had to tell you now”.
“Don’t apologize to me Dylan. I.. I love you too, have always loved you, I never realized it until recently. Am sorry, I should be the one apologizing not you. Please stop the talks, stand please, am scared… I don’t want anything bad to happen to you”.Tears rested in her eyes but she tried her best to caged them, not to let them fall. She wanted to obey Dylan even tho it’s just for now.
“D..do me a favor Gr….”.
“What favor? I will do anything for you. No need to prolong your words, just say it, I will do it”.
“K…ss me”.Dylan sighed heavily.
“Huh? Kill you?”.
“Kiss me”.Dylan repeated, his sight going more blurry than before. He was beginning to feel heavier.
“I…..”.Grace wanted to object but she wasn’t able to. She folded her lips, released them and squatted to Dylan. She placed her lips on his while he opened up for more passage.
She wasn’t a good kisser. Who was she kidding? This was her second time kssing someone and it should somewhat feel weird but she surprisedly loved the way she took possession of Dylan’s lips. Sucking them, doing nasty stuffs she never knew she could do but then she paused after minutes when she realized something.
Dylan wasn’t moving his lips, his lips were getting cold. She was confused. She drew her lips away from his and stared at him.
His eyes were closed.
She shook him.
“Dylan?”.No response.
“Dylan?!!”.Still, no response.
This time her heart was pounding in her chest. She couldn’t think anymore, she was dmn scared.
“Dylan!!!!”.
No response… Just his body shaking vigorously as she shook him.
She cried, feeling empty. Feeling breathless. Then she released the loudest yell she could ever make.
“NOOOOOOO!!!!!”.
