She was drenched in sweat. She kept rolling on her bed, a nightmare!She was hiding in a big rock near a cliff when she heard gunshots. She immediately pulled up her pants and peeked on the road where her husband parked the car, but she was rooted to where she was standing. The car is on fire!
The car that her husband has been driving for some hours became ash-colored because of the fire that engulfed it. Lucky for her, she went out to pee or else she"ll be consumed as well.
"No! somebody help! Please! My husband is inside! Please help!" she kept yelling hysterically despites knowing that no one can hear her. they were in the middle of a mountain road; the cliff"s end was a deep sea!
However, she was not as lucky as she thought she was. A man was walking towards her. She can"t see his face clearly. The man pointed his pistol to her.
"Please don"t shoot! Have mercy! My children are waiting for me." She knelt pleading the man.
"Please, have mercy!" she was crying non-stop, fear engulfed her. but the man grinned evilly. Now she knew that she doesn"t have any chance of survival. She looked down the cliff. It"s high! She can die because of a bullet shot or she can try her luck jumping in the sea. Her chance of survival is 50/50.
She stood up as she slowly stepped backwards. The man seemed to know her plan since he smirked.
"Woman, if you are planning to jump over the cliff, I"m telling you, you don"t have a chance of living." He chuckled, "but I have a proposition to you, surrender your body to me then I may consider your life, how about that?" the man eyed her full of l.u.s.t.
The woman s.h.i.+vered, "Over my dead body!" she yelled.
"Woman, be careful for what you wish for!" the man laughed evilly. He was about to approached her but she run towards the cliff. But before she even jumped off, he pulled the trigger.
BANGGGGGG!!!!! It echoed. He was sure that he got her upper back shoulder.
"d.a.m.n you! didn"t I tell you to take her alive!?" another man came into the scene.
"It"s not my fault! She jumped off!"
The man who just came landed his fist at the man"s face. He staggered backwards.
"You scared her away! d.a.m.n you!" then he shot him in the head. He was looking down trying to spot a body. d.a.m.n! He cursed under his breath then he jumped off.
"No!!!!!" the woman was screaming.
""Sherry! Sherry, wake up!" Silver shook her. She"s been screaming and big sweats were gus.h.i.+ng out her body.
"Silver!" she embraced him as soon as she opened her eyes.
Silver caresses her back, "It"s okay, you"re okay. it"s just a nightmare!"
After some minute, Sherry calmed down. she broke away from Silver"s arms.
"Sherry, tell me, what was your dream?" Silver"s tone was a little bit off; she shook her head.
"I can"t remember, I just knew that it was terrible." She lied. Silver was scrutinizing her. She can"t possibly tell him what her dream was, or else, he will force her to drink that capsule again.
"Sherry, have you been drinking your medicine? I told you, you can"t miss a day! that"ll will help you with those unnecessary nightmares!" now he"s mad.
"I am!" she yelled. You"re even monitoring me, right?!" Silver soften.
"I"m sorry for getting angry at you. I"m just worried, you know that right?" Silver tried to explained. Sherry only nodded just to finish their arguments.
"Okay honey, take your medicine and go rest. I"ll just need to finish some things in my office." He waited for her to take the capsule before he left the room.
As soon as he left the room, sherry took a paper napkin and spit out the capsule that she hid in her mouth. She stood up and went to the bathroom and flush it away. Then she washed her face.
Her dream! That was definitely her! the one who got shot and fell into the sea. But she survived and she can"t remember how. She needs to remember her past no matter what. Silver seems to be hiding something from her. then she remembered the man she met at the hospital, Demetrius!
He said he knew her. might as well asked help from him. however, she needs to be careful not to be caught by Silver. He"s a crazy man once he gets mad!
Demetrius was planning to attend Aisha"s interview today. He was getting ready when he received a call from an unknown number.
"Rio speaking, who is this?" he answered the phone call.
"Hi, this is Sherry, can we meet?" The woman answered. Rio was stunned to receive a call from her. what"s happening? Is it Silver"s plan? Again?
"For what? Did Silver asked you to meet me?"
"N-No! he doesn"t know anything, I promise. I just want to see you, if you are not busy of course." The woman stuttered.
"What business do we have?"
"I know it looks suspicious, but I just need to talk to you. you said that you know who I am, right?"
Rio felt a cold s.h.i.+ver in his spine. Did she recall something? did she remember him?
"Ehm." He answered.
"I want to listen to you, about me, if it is okay. 5pm at Lazemma Dine-in hotel. I"ll be waiting for you." With that she hung up.
Rio was in deep thought. Is he going? But he was planning to speak with Aisha after her interview. He looked at his watch, it"s four-twenty. He can reach Lazemma in about 30 minutes.
"Rio, are you ready?" Archie came in his room.
"Archie, I"ll just go to Lazemma in a while, I"ll catch up before her interview ends." Rio rushes outside where his car was parked. The last thing that Archie heard was the screeching of the car. He cursed under his breath.
*** She was wearing a black V-neck plain s.h.i.+rt and a simple skinny jeans paired with white sneakers. her long silky hair was loosened. She was wearing a denim jacket. She looks simple but gorgeous.
The reporter named Jess welcomed her. All cameras were focused on her. She can"t barely see the audience since that area was purposely dimmed by the management
Jess, the reporter, started the interview by reading some positive comments from the people on social media about her trending encounter with the thugs.
"Ms. Williams, do you know that you have millions of fans who expresses their love and support to you?"
"I didn"t know, but thank you so much!" Aisha was deeply thankful.
"Let me just read a few comments here. One says, I don"t see any negative about what she did. Is it a crime to protect yourself against those men? Another fan said, she is a good example of a strong woman. go girl, don"t let them get to you! then another said, Ms. Williams, just to let you know that you did a great job! you are my inspiration! I"ll get stronger just like you."
Then he read more comments. It boosts Aisha"s confidence. The audience were also cheering for her.
"Thank you! thank you." she kowtowed.
"Ms. Williams, since you have a lot of fans, could you show everyone some of your killer moves?
Aisha chuckled heartily when she heard Jess" request, "Okay."
She stood up. After a while, the mini-theater studio was covered with blood!
BLOOOOODDD!!!! HER OWN BLOOD!?
The Audience where screaming! Everyone is panicking! The reporter stood up immediately as she approached the woman who fell on the floor. Blood gushed out from her body. She was coughing with blood. as well.
"Call an ambulance!" The director shouted. They have forgotten to turned off the live cam. Everyone has been watching everywhere.
She was looking at the ceiling; she can see it clearly a while ago but why is it becoming blurry?
"I am a doctor! Give s.p.a.ce!" Aisha heard a man who jumped up the stage. He was trying to give her first aid.
But Aisha"s eyelids were too heavy, then it was clouded with darkness. She can"t see nor hear anything anymore.
Then after a while, the man who claimed to be a doctor felt her pulse. He can"t feel anything.
She"s breathless!
He gave out CPR but it didn"t help.
"S-she"s gone. She"s dead!" he sat on his feet desolately. Grief enveloped the whole studio except for one person among them. She was silently celebrating.
