I breathed heavily as I ran non-stop.
The street was dark and deserted and no one could help me.
Robert’s boys were behind me she closing up on me but I continued running.
Suddenly, I felt someone hit me at the back of my neck.
I gasped and fell then everything blacked out.
Totally blackout.

Please… don’t do this to me, Robbie. I’m not gonna say anything. Just let me go!” I cried as soon as I woke up and you myself tied on a chair in his room.
He lit up a cigarette and started smoking before he finally looked at me with a slight smile. “Sad, Theresa. It’s too sad you will be the one to carry on with the unfortunate fate that awaited your sister.” He said and laughed.
What’s he talking about?
” I love you Robert. If I wanted to say anything. I would have done that a long time ago.” I said with pleading eyes.
” Hold on a second. I don’t really need to panic over you reporting me or not. You have no prove against me about those bl©©dy masks you saw in my room.
Just because you see masks they frightened you doesn’t mean you’ve got proves against me that I’m into a dirty job,hun?
Infact..I disposed them already. What other prove do you have?” He asked and I blinked.
I blinked again. Wait….he doesn’t even know about me being Davey’s sister??
He doesn’t know I already knew who he attacked?
Although I was still tied up,I gasped out a sharp laughter, feeling so relieved.
He looked at me. “You don’t know how serious this is,do you?”
I smiled at him, feeling a bit relieved now that I know he doesn’t know anything yet. “Come on,Robert. Those masks I saw are nothing to me.
I’ve got no prove like you said. I just wanna keep satisfying you with my body,hmm?” I said in a r©mantic low voice.
He shook his head and backed toward the door. “That’s not gonna work on me.”
I sighed. “Okay…. What are you planning on doing with me? ”
” I’m gonna decided on that later. Stay here for now. ” He said and walked out the door.
Then locked it behind him.
I heard him whispering to someone outside the door… Maybe telling his boys not to let me out.
With all the strength in me, u began to rock my hands back and forth in a bid to loosen the rope banding my wrists together.
If only I could get a phone.
Suddenly, I felt something slightly heavy into my inner pocket and almost screamed put happily when I remembered what it was.
My cellphone!!
I remembered tucking it in there when the boys began chasing me!
But then… How can I reach into my inner pocket with my hands tied tightly behind my back?
It’s impossible but I gat to make it possible.
My brother’s life is in danger and his safety depends on me now.
? Marianne ?
“Are you okay?” Davey asked as I served him the dinner I bought in minutes ago.
I smiled weakly at him. “Yeah.” I replied.
I filled up the glass cup with water while Davey took up his cutleries and started eating.
While watching him eat my eyes filled with tears and they rushed for my face.
I remembered what granny had explained over the phone.
How I was revived when she thought I was dead.
Well… She officially announced my death and she did that because it was an opportunity to keep me save from my paternal grandmother who wanted to take over me after my parents died.
Your paternal grandmother is a bad woman.. she’s got no conscience.
Granny had said.
She told me she did all that and changed my name then reallocated because she wanted to raise me up herself.
That was why the Cooper family thought Kiran back then was then.
More tears poured out of my eyes as I watched Davey.
It was unbelievable.
So… I’ve been with him in the past?
Granny had said we were inseparable back then.. she had said Davey always defended and protected me just like his sisters.
Davidson.. why couldn’t I remember you? Was I too small then?
I wiped my tears seat and sniffed.
This made Davey look up from his food, frowned at the tears in my eyes.
He dropped his spoon and cupped my wet face in his hands. “Marianne… What’s wrong?” He asked with love and I stared into his eyes.
” I’ve always thought these blue eyes off yours looked familiar… But I couldn’t place where I’ve seen them before. ” I whispered as we stared into each other’s eyes.
Confusion crawled into his cute face. “Marianne …”
“Do you miss her so much?”
“Who? What are you talking about, Mari? ”
” Kiran… Do you miss her? ” I asked with a smile and Davey looked at me.
He took his hands away from my face still looking at me. “Kiran…” He said again.
“It’s time for you to stop missing her. It’s time for you to stop living in darkness from the past.
” And most especially, it’s time for you to stop being a psychopath cos sitting right in front of you… Is Kiran.”
I said softly and smiled as he moved back, his shocked face surveying as though he was seeing me for the first time.
“Ki… Kiran??? ”
? Jessica ?
I was in mom’s house, trying to contact our lawyer that night when the strange feeling began.
A feeling that something was wrong. A feeling that a part of me was in pain… In turmoil and in trouble.
My heart reached Tess immediately and I began to feel feverish.
I instantly started running high temperature and I found myself a seat.
Mom came into the room. “Have you contacted him?” Mom asked coming nearer but I couldn’t answer her.
I was suddenly so sick and the next minute, hot tears filled my eyes.
“Oh my God!” Mom cried and rushed towards me. She quickly sat beside me and held me. “what happened to you! You are so hot!”
“Mom… Please do something.
Theresa is in danger. I can feel it!, My sister needs help… She’s in danger!! ”
