Angie POV
Chapter 43
“Stop!”Came his order and the kick which was about to stick to my face returned.
I was panting heavily because my heartbeat was faster. My impulse was getting slower, I’d never gotten beaten to this extent.
Two guys on me.
“How far with Jack?” He repeated.
“Jack is fine.”
He walked over to me, and his heavy boot stopped right beside my face. He looked over from his shoulder to me before bringing his knees into a squat.
He spared me some evil grin. His presence made me shiver uncontrollably.
“Have you been able to win his heart?” He asked this question and I felt my world crumbling down to the ground.
How do I tell him that Jack is unpredictable? His emotions and heart can not be read. I’m not even sure if he loves me to the core or not
Even if he doesn’t love me, I can’t bring myself to tell Damien that I’m unsure hack doesn’t love me. He will first have to bring the baby out and smashed it before getting back at me.
“He does. He has fallen over heels for me.” I spilled the lies, looking straight into his eyes so he could believe me.
One thing was common with him when he asked a question. You have to look straight into his eyes to answer without blinking your eyes kids or rolling your pupils.
He tilted his head before sniffing in his heavily loaded tobacco.
“Good.”He snapped, rising in a jiffy. “This makes the work easier but deadly.” His words sounded more like a warning.
“If you lied I’m going to kill the baby first, before aiming for the mother.”
“I’m not lying.”I tried to defend myself but I received a kick across my head which makes my mouth glued.
“Well, we will have to find out if you’re lying or not.”
I looked at him lost and confused at his words. To satisfy my curiosity, he speaks further.
“He should call you when he doesn’t hear from you for days” He muttered walking away from my side.
“Get out.”
I struggled to rise from the bare ground, although my ass was still on the floor.
I barely stand on my feet when I heard him say “take the phone from her.”
I never argue because I was drained of energy and my head was spinning. Even if I was not wounded, I wouldn’t dare to refuse to give the phone.
He may have the phone, he can’t find any shit in there. I have a phone which I do use to make contact with Jack. Is right in my bag.
As I made you leave the room, his voice rang sharp into my ears and my feet froze at the instant.
“Where is the other phone ANGIE?”He emphasized my last name. Twitching his lips in disgust.
I had no choice but to hand over my bag to the silly man who had just beat me up.
I was out of the living room; Damien’s living room which he always loves to hide his face, he also used that as his office.
I bumped into a man who was sleek in a suit. He flinched shoving his palm in expressions of his apologies to me.
“It’s okay.”My palms said the words as I flashed them to his face.
As I was walking away I could still feel his gaze piercing into my body. I turned to look at him and he flashed me a smile.
I smiled back at him before staggering away with my broken limbs, and ankles.
Expectations all pull me into its arms. I was to see the rest of the workers which were all like me but the Shane of them seeing me in this predicament would not let me.
The baby!
No matter how injured I am, I have to see the baby.
I staggered towards the path where I knew the cell was. I was going to see how grown up the baby is.
I got to a spot and I felt the whole strength in me drained out so that was the last thing I’d remember.

Forcing my lids open, my eyes made some direct contact with a brightened light. I shut my eyes back, before turning my neck to the other side.
Where am I? I mumbled under my breath.
I was still lying on the bare ground with my blood staining the dark tiles. When I turned my me k to my right, the light was still reflecting in my eyes.
“Get the fuck light out of my fucking sight!”I yelled weakly I’m a faint tone, hoping the person will hear me.
“God punish devil! The person was a kid.” My mouth was agape, and I tried to lie on my stomach to have a proper view of the child.
“Kid,” I muttered.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, but someone came right behind the kid, jacking her to himself, he placed a jackknife to her throat.
“Let go of the kid you fuckin monster,” I yelled angrily, louder this time.
The unknown man never said anything but busted into peals of laughter then he said, “watch me.”
I watched him slaughter the little kid.
“No stop!”
“You fuckin monster? I’m going to kill you, just unveil your face. Lemme see your face motherfucker.” Hot tears gush down from my eyes to my naked skin.
The kid never protested. She stays dumb and lets him slaughter her.
“Tash…” I felt a splash of water over my face.
“Wake up bitch!” Came the husky and dried voice.
I slowly parted my eyes apart.
I was chained to a chair, my hands behind the chair.
I licked my bottom lips, although I could still taste the blood there. “What do you all think you are doing?”
“You should ask master when he arrives.” They taunted, sticking their tongue out to me.
“You fuckin bitch, you dare to share your fucking hole with my son?” My mind jumped.
Why?
This is ridiculous. Isn’t it obvious to him that his son was the one always trying to flirt with me and get the best out of my hole?
“I dare not but …” I was cut off by the several punches which landed on my cheeks. There was stinging pain emànating from there.
“So it’s actually because of you, my son decided to go against me right?”
****
“Wake up.”The voice said.
This time it was real. I’ve been dreaming.
“I saw you lying in the corridor towards the kitchen. Why are your limbs broken and knees?”Madam Georgia tried to know.
I know she was kind of interrogating me. She’s inquisitive. Sometimes, you just get pissed off at her words and wishes to kill her but apart from that, she’s nice and is among the oldest woman here in Damien’s organization.
“Damien.”I chimed to satisfy her inquisitive state.
She keeps muted and focused on pressing my mouth with a towel that was dripping in hot water.
I screamed out, fighting to push back her hands from touching me further.
“What led to this?” She asked, rolling her eyes at me.
“Delay in the task, messing around with my pussy.”I replied in a faint voice.
Sitting up properly to help straightened my back. She flashed me a Cheshire cat grin before rising.
Her palm landed on my shoulders, giving me a gentle tub and light tap.
“It’s okay to mess around with your pussy and ended your life but do not forget…”She trailed, retracting her palms from my shoulders.
“The lives of those two prisoners are in your hands.” She uttered before taking the bowl which was filled with water out of the room.
“Have you ever been at the edge of s cliff?” She halted turning around to see me.
“Cliff?”She cocked her brow in askance.
“Yes. Cliff is like being caught up in a tough situation and you have to make a tough decision that wouldn’t be beneficial to you but you someone else even when your life is at stake.”
“Uhm…” She said after a few minutes of silence. she walked back over to my side and stop a few meters away from me.
“In a case like this, you just have to breathe in and out so your mind can be settled, and once it settled, “She paused, twirling her finger in the air.
“Once it settled, then you have to go for what your mind is telling you. Settle for it but never made a decision out of self-pity or when you are emotional else, you regret it someday.” She said this and walked off slamming the door after her.
That’s it! Maybe I’m too emotional, I should let Damien kill the baby and the mother whatsoever so I can live my life to my fullest. I’m just and still a kid. Twenty-two years, I still have a lot of plans ahead of me.
I’m too young to bore People’s burdens. People that I knew not.
For now, I’ll have to focus on my broken limb. I can’t go to the doctor unless Damien sent a doctor over and I’m 80 percent sure that he wouldn’t do that.
But what are all those dreams for? I asked myself, trying to remember those fuckin dreams.
***
The next day which was Saturday was a very boring one as usual. Damien hadn’t given me my phone nor did he send a doctor to check on me.
Jack must have called me tirelessly or waited… He never called.
If he had called, my attention would have been needed by Damien.
Oh, fuck you jack!
Why can’t you just call? I lied that we are in love because I thought you were also in love with me.
Fuck!
I yelled, slashing my hands across the table which was stocked with varieties of stuff. My knuckles bled because I had curled into a fist and used it negatively.
A bleeding knuckle is kind of better than a broken heart, limb, or ankle.
I’ll just have to take my bath and brush my teeth and await this old foolish man for any of his stupid reasons he did have to call me over.
***
I tried walking out of my room with my determination on something.
I was determined at that moment to know if the baby was still alive. Funny enough, nobody cares to know or even wants to talk about it.
“You know her case is different, her cell is underground where there is no light. The only light she got is that of the lantern and that is because someone was taking good over to her side and would need light to see properly. I think ever since her baby was taken out of her, she has never set her eyes on the baby. She isn’t even sure of the gender and we do not know the gender also.”
“Can I go to the underground also?” Came my questions to Micah.
Micah has been the naive and gentle type so this trait or personality of hers gave room for her not to be doubted got an inch.
I and Micah gave been friends ever since we were small. We got to know each other here and…
Though she stop talking to me as usual when she learned about my affairs with Robert.
But right now I do not care about our dispute. I just want to see that lady. She spoke something about my dad and I just need to know who my dad is.
“Did Damien says he will do anything to anyone who went head over heels to the underground?” I asked and she gave me a state before shrugging her shoulder flippantly.
Somehow, my gut warned me to be careful around this bitch but I have to calm it down.
I knew Micah stop talking to me because I was chosen over her but this wouldn’t me that she will betray me by trying to seek my death.
“Since Damien isn’t against the idea of going to see her, why then do people don’t want to get into any conversation about her.”
