Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17
ALEX BUSTLED THROUGH
THE OAK DOOR, he put on a
smile as he entered into the
room he had kept Nora. He
looked so happy that he had
conquered Daniel and at last
had Nora to himself. “Nora.”
He called out as he sat by the
edge of the mattress.
Nora opened her heavy
eyes, earlier, her nose had
been stuffed with chloroform
to make her sleep. She had
been in shock, shouting and
crying because of Daniel. She
had disturbed the atmosphere
of the car until the guys made
her sleep by force.
As she opened her eyes,
tears rolled down her face
again. Even while she was
asleep, tears were still rolling
down her face. It was indeed
a big shock to her, she never
expected what happened
within a minute. Still
wondering, she remembered
he was shot by the head and
her head jacked up instantly.
“Are you now awake?” Alex
enquired from her, his smile
suddenly changed to a grin.
Nora looked into the face of
Alex and dimmed her eyes,
struggling to see him properly.
“Alex!” She exclaimed.
Alex whisked to his feet as
he laughed. “This is me, dear.”
“What!” She exclaimed
again. “You’re the one!” She
stretched her index finger as
she quickly knelt on the bed.
“Alex!” She shouted again.
“What’s happening now?
Nora, you’re here with me
now, let’s forget everything!”
“Are you out of your mind?
Alex where’s my husband?
Where’s Daniel? Where have
you kept him! Alex!” She
began to cry.
“Can you see now, this guy
is making you cry now, I can’t
withstand seeing tears in your
face!”
“It seems you’re crazy, Alex!
What have you done to
Daniel?” She questioned.
“Just take life so easy, Nora.
Let the sleeping dog lie..”
Nora interrupted. “What’s
the meaning of this! You
kidnapped me? Where’s
Daniel? Where’s my husband? I
hate you, Alex!” She shouted.
Alex stood akimbo with a
frown on his face. “What on
earth is your problem, Nora.
It’s been a while, you know
what happened back then,
don’t you? We didn’t separate,
I was flown abroad for
treatment, only for me to
return and hear that you’re
with another guy. I still care a
lot for you, dear.”
Nora hissed. “Where’s
Daniel?”
Alex chuckled. “I have said it
earlier, Nora. If you won’t
accept me easily and happily,
you’ll accept me forcefully!”
“Alex! Let go of me!” Nora
screamed.
“Stop shouting because no
one’s here to save you. Don’t
beat about the bush because
you’re mine already, Nora.”
“No! Daniel! He was shot!
Where’s Daniel? They shot my
husband, Where’s Daniel?”
“One thing is that even if
Daniel took tricycle, he would
have gotten to hell fire by
now, dear. If you don’t know
what that means, my love,
Daniel’s gone already.”
Nora froze.
**
Daniel’s mother ran out of
Doctor’s office, crying
profusely. She had picked up
her phone so as to call her
other daughter and get all
those who needed to know.
She was out of control
already, crying and wiping her
tears almost immediately.
There was something
different about her character
that minute, she was shivering
and panicking as if if she got
all the necessary people
informed, Daniel would come
back to life.
The nurses in the hospital
too even knew that a man just
died due to Dan’s mum’s
attitude.
Soon, she rushed back into
the hospital, wiping her tears
as she rushed to the Doctor
again.

Gloria marched to her seat
as she got to the office and
placed her head on her two
hands that had been placed
on each other. She prayed for
some minutes before she
dropped her bag down beside
herself and switched on her
electronic system.
She had directed David
inside to see the director
while she started her own
work for the day. She didn’t
know, but she could feel a
twinge of happiness in her
mind. She had been longing to
win a soul for God, but she
didn’t know how she would
approach anyone she met. At
least, heaven was happy over
the soul and over herself who
just won one soul into the
kingdom. “Thank God.” She
didn’t know when she closed
her eyes and said the phrase.
Resting her back on the
chair, she swiveled the chair
as she began to think of how
she started preaching to
David. Suddenly, her mind
deviated, she wasn’t thinking
about how she preached to
David again, she began to
think about David himself. He
was tall, light in complexion,
handsome and cool. Though,
he was an unbeliever but she
had preached to him already
and he had confessed God as
his saviour.
God… she just beamed. Is it
David? She just chuckled as
she swiveled the chair again.
Is he the one? She wondered
as she closed her eyes for a
moment. God, please let me
know soon. She muttered with
a sincere heart.
Suddenly she opened her
eyes and met David before her.
His hands were on the table
and his body, drifted forward
as if he was looking at her
face closely. Gloria’s heart lost
a beat as she saw him. Has he
heard my utterances? She
wondered as she sat up and
David stood upright. “You are
muttering incoherent words,
Gloria.” He smiled.
Gloria didn’t want to believe
that David didn’t hear all she
had said. “Incoherent?” She
raised her brows.
“Sure.” David raised his
shoulders with a smile. “I’m
here just to appreciate you for
your lecture today..”
She cut in, “I’m not a
lecturer, what you have to do
next is simply to start
attending church services.”
“Sure, I have started.” He
laughed as he pressed some
buttons on his iPad and
passed it to Gloria. “Please
punch in the address of your
church.” He said.
Gloria smiled.
