Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 18
“I’m Alex! He stole you away
from me because I travelled,
Nora.”
“Alex, let me go!” Nora
screamed.
“I have told you earlier,
Nora. If you scream from now
till tomorrow, no f—–g body
will hear you!”
“Alex leave me! I hate you!
Where’s Daniel?” She cried.
“I can’t leave you, Nora.
You’re the air I’m breathing,
you’re the sweat I’m sweating,
you’re the shadow following
me, I can’t…” He hardly
finished his false confessions
when Nora landed a slap on
his cheeks.
Alex held on to his cheeks
quickly while Nora climbed on
the mattress as fast as she
could, if she could run out of
the house. Alex followed and
grabbed her even before she
could leave the room. He
pushed her to the mattress as
he bounced on her and
started beating her up.

David had driven down to
his own place of work as he
thudded down his chair and
swiveled to the right, thinking.
He had been a man of great
enjoyment, a fornicator, a
drunkard and many more to
his memory. “No one..” He just
said silently as he shook his
head.
He had been engulfed in
thought, wondering as if no
one had ever preached to him.
He could remember when one
of his friends was having his
wedding and the Pastor
mounted on the pulpit to
preach the gospel, he had
thought all the young man of
God would say would just be
concerning love, warnings in
marriage, but he was shocked
to have heard him preaching
about eternity.
He carried his iPad and
walked out of the Auditorium.
In his heart, he had concluded
within himself that no one
could convince him to Christ at
all! How did Gloria manage to
hook his heart! He had been
wondering.
He just opened his lasy
drawer and brought out a big
book, new, dusty and dirty. He
had kept it there for so long
and that’d be his first time of
getting hold of it. It was his
Bible.
**
Alex slammed the door as
he walked out angrily to wash
his blood-stained hands. He
had beaten Nora to the extent
that she bled through her
nose and mouth.
Nora was on the floor, in
pain as she bled. She was
crying profusely, not because
of the way she was beaten,
but because she couldn’t
boast that Daniel was still alive.
Who would save her from the
hands of evil Michael? She had
been wondering as she rolled
in her blood and tears. Is
Daniel still alive? She had
wonderedas she cried more.
She remembered he was
shot by the head and he
collapsed immediately. A
person shot by the head can’t
live again! That has to do with
the brain, from the brain to
the heart! Is Daniel really
gone? She continued wailing
in pain and tears.
She never knew how she
was taken into the room, she
never knew her phone had
falled under the mattress
when she was thrown to the
bed as she was taken into the
room in an unconscious state.
She had been wondering on
how she could just leave Alex’s
hands and go to see her
husband.
Her heart was shattered.
**
EVENING.
Daniel’s mother was seated
in the living room. As she
heard the honk of her
daughter, she rushed to the
curtains and pushed them to a
side to know if she was really
the one.
As soon as she saw her, she
went to her seat and burst
into tears. She hadn’t been
crying, maybe seeing her
made her to start crying again.
Soon, the lady walked inside
the house slowly and met her
crying.
“Mum, what’s wrong?” Her
handbag slipped off her hand
as she rushed to meet her
mother.
“Daniel’s really gone.” She
replied admist tears. She had
been up and doing
concerning Daniel since
morning, so, she couldn’t even
call any of her children to
know.”
“Daniel’s what? Where did
he go to?” She asked, not
wanting to think of another
word synonymous to ‘go‘.
“My son was shot! Daniel…
he was..” she continued
weeping.
“No..” She screamed aloud.
“No mum! No! I still saw him
on Sunday with his wife,
mum! I still saw Nora and we
spoke together! No! Mum,
no!”
Daniel’s mother wiped her
tears as she held on to her
daughter and quickly hugged
her. “Stop all these!” She said.
“No!” She wriggled out the
hug as she rushed out of the
house without even carrying
her handbag. It was still hard
to belief.
As the woman was crying,
she picked up her phone and
called the Doctor.
The whole family had been
in tears since morning.
**
The next morning.
“Where’s Nora!” Tonia
exclaimed as they were all set
to visit the hospital.
“We’ve been trying to get
her since yesterday, Tonia.”
Daniel’s mother replied. “I met
her handbag inside the car, so
I have been wondering if
Daniel was shot and Nora was
taken away.” She added.
“Nora too? But who’s this
person who did all these?” She
wanted to start crying again.
“No one should cry
anymore!” Daniel’s Father said
from behind.
His little brother, Michael
was leaning against the wall,
crying too as they got set to
check out the hospital. “They
just killed him that way?”
Michael wiped his tears.
“Dear, shouldn’t we get the
police force involved in this?
Shouldn’t we get them
involved in those who
murdered Daniel and where
Nora was taken to?” His father
asked.
Dan’s mother hurtled a gaze
at him and shook her head.
“Not now!” She exclaimed.
“How do we get to the root
of the matter then?” He asked.
“Just leave everything to
me.” She replied. “Let’s go.”
She added as she led the way.
