DIV

While I asked Jeff to stay guard of the house, I also stationed two more people.
When I got report that Simon was heading to her room and destroying things in his bedroom, I knew he was going to do something other than having sex with her this night.
So I got into my car and drove as fast as I could.
I told her I won't let his blood stain her hands and I'm a man of my words. I'm not going to let her go to jail because of him. I couldn't protect my sister then and she's going to be angry if I don't help Nora.
I entered in time to see him choking her and her pulling the gun I gave her out.
I stood, watching the entire exchange, waiting for the right time to make a move.
When he pointed the gun at her, I pulled my gun out and was about shooting. Then she threw the lamp at his hand, aiming perfectly.
She picked the gun quickly and made to aim. I took action then and killed him.
From my research, the Simon of a man has about twenty more people in captive and they were all from a very rich family.
After I killed him, she ran over and hugged me, surprising me completely.
My sister was the only person that could hug me, here, another person is taking her place. I hugged her back not caring about the person behind me who should be the owner of the house.
Hugging another person after a long while felt good and refreshing so I held on to her, not worried about the blood seeping into my clothes.
"B-bo-boss" Jeff stammered.
"Just kneel and raise your hands up till I come back and clean the mess here"
"W-where are you going?"
"Police station."
Just as I said it, a batch of policemen entered fully armed and took in the state of the room including the kneeling Jeff.
DONALD
I entered the room and stood in shock as I watched Uncle fall slowly to the ground with a strange man holding a gun.
I glanced at Nora, she was holding a gun too. Where did she get the gun?

"Who the fuck are you?" I wanted to ask but the words died down in my mouth when I saw her run to the strange man.
For a moment, my heart surged with gratitude towards the strange man.
He save Nora. I didn't mind that Uncle is dead, after all he had been planning to kill me too.
"Who are you?" I wanted to ask again but the police men interrupted this time.
They looked at the gun in the strange man's hand and Simon's corpse.
"You are under arrest sire" The police man saluted before talking which only made me more curious.
Who exactly is this man standing here??
COURTNEY ️
I watched helplessly as the policemen took Div away.
"I'll be okay and probably be back in the night" he said as they took him away but that didn't alleviate my worry.
Killing Simon was self defense, the police should know that.
Seeing I wasn't convinced "what about bringing your flowers this night?"
I smiled and nodded in agreement.
After he left with the police, an ambulance came to carry Simon's corpses and I was asked to vacate the room without cleaning as they need evidence.
I packed my belongings and moved them to Donald's room.
I sat on his bed, reminiscing. Simon is really dead, my nightmare is gone. It still felt surreal.
Donald entered and sat quietly beside me.
"I'm so sorry Nora, I'm sorry I didn't believe you" he pleaded.
I looked at him and placed my hands on his, "If I were you, I wouldn't have believed a stranger over my blood too so I'm not angry."
He stared at me as if he couldn't believe what he was wearing and pulled me into a hug. I let myself be hugged and relax in his embrace. It's finally over, we conquered our nightmares.
"Know the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw you?" He asked, his chin resting on my head.
I shook my head negatively against his chest.
"Who's this fierce beautiful petite lady with wild chestnut hair who isn't afraid of my cold aura and broke through, now I have a warm heart willing to love."
"What do you think when you see now, after you know, everything?" I asked
"Wow, my bossy maid is one hell of a strong woman, beautiful and fierce at the same time, selfless too. She's one of the people I hold dear to my heart now."
I blushed, surprised someone still thinks of me as beautiful.
"What contract you signed with mother ends today, I'll give you the money"
My heart plummeted down, I wanted the money for college so I can't rent an apartment till I apply.
"I want to work for my money" I argued
"No, you've worked enough. I'm going to sponsor you to college and you can always consider this place as home"
I wanted to raise my head and look at him.
He pressed my head back against his chest "No don't look at me"
"Thank you" I said with so much sincerity.
"You deserve it CounterKnee"
" Sorry to break you guys up, but what the heck happened?" Another voice said
"Mum" Donald cried out, not masking the surprise in his voice.

His mum?!
DONALD
"I knew something was up with that Uncle of yours. I never liked him." Mum said after I narrated everything to her.
"I still can't believe he tried to kill me and Courtney."
"I haven't told your father about it. You mentioned Div just now?"
"Yeah, he's the one that helped"
"That's new, the Div I heard about is cruel and he's a Drug Lord." Mum explained.
"A drug Lord? Courtney got herself involved with a drug Lord? Is that why the police man saluted to him"
"Maybe..... I'll head over to the police station. They should wrap up the case, we aren't making any charges. He's dead, we don't need to mention his case in court."
I shrugged and eyed mother who was staring at me with mischief.
I went over and hugged her tightly.
"About Courtney" mum started.
"Don't even go there mum..... don't" I disengaged from the hug and flashed her a grin then went to the kitchen where I met Flynn and Eva cooking. It was a sight to behold.
"We're sorry, we came as soon as we heard" Eva said apologetically.
"C'mon Flynn" I said to an upset Flynn
He looked at me with glazed eyes "you both would have died if help hadn't come" his lower lips trembled.
I moved closer to him and enveloped him. I'm here, Courtney is upstairs, we are safe and that's what matters.
COURTNEY

It's seven in the evening and everyone is still eating and drinking.
I came outside to wait for Div since he said he'll be back in the evening.
"Waiting for someone?" A voice asked beside me.
"Div!" I screamed enthusiastically
"I told you I'll be back pumpkin" he smiled and gave me a bouquet of Lily flowers.
"Thank you for everything"
"You don't have to thank me." He replied and sat beside me, staring up at the stars.
"My parents are up there smiling at me"
"Same as my sister" he smiled sadly.
"Your sister?" I asked
He nodded sadly "what do you think about traveling the world with me?"
"Huh?" I was taken aback "um.... I....college" I stuttered embarrassingly
"Sure" he pinched my cheeks "you'll go to college, I'll sponsor all your education and I'll wait for you."
Ohmygawd...
"You can give me your answer later" he smiled softly "I love your wild chestnut hair."
I nodded gratefully and looked up at the sky with my head on his shoulder
