After the dreadful gun shoot attack in each other, they all sustain an injury, Diego got shot on his arm by Anthony who is determined to get the girl first at all cost, Diego shot Anthony on his shoulder though the bullet only brushed him, after their escorts managed to escape them from each other, they all realized that they loosed the most important thing, and that's the girl, the witness.
"I will get back to you after I get that girl, you will regret entering my way." Diego said with a bleeding arm and entered the car; Anthony's spy also took Anthony to their lodge.
*
Anthony winched as the spy treat his injury.
"Why did you think that guy wanted to get the girl too?" Anthony asked.
"I told you, they may also be looking for her some they knew she saw them, she is the witness and they can do anything to get her first." The spy replied bandaging Anthony's shoulder.
"Yes, I also thought of that, but do you think that guy may kind of have some connections with my father's death?" Anthony asked.
"I don't know, but I don't think so, because the murderer won't show up himself, he may decide to send his boys to look for her since wolf lord's has a lot of boys who worked for them, so maybe, not sure, maybe he may be one of those boys the real murderer sent." The spy answered.
"We will have to try and find her before him, I'm not planning on hurting her, and I just want the truth, the truth behind those who killed my father, so I can have my revenge." Anthony said.
"I will try and find her new location, she wouldn't be far, and I'm sure." The spy said and pick up the first aid box.
*
"Damn it!" Diego said angrily.
"I can't believe I almost got that girl and that stupid guy destroyed everything and she escaped again, you have to find out who he is and why he is looking for Selena." Diego ordered.
"I think he might be Robert son, if not why else will he looking for the witness?" One of his boys said.
"I think you have a point, he already found out that a girl saw us, that girl is a threat to my life and reputation, and we have to do all it takes to get her before him, spread around the city and don't return without her." Diego ordered.
*
Alpha Andrew came out of his hiding spot with Selena on his arms after making sure that they all left, he entered his car and started driving, while checking on her every minute.
He decided to call James.
"Hey brother." Alpha Andrew said putting on the phone on loud speaker.
"Hey Alpha Andrew, where have you been since morning, I have been searching for you."
James asked.
"I'm sorry, something urgent came up and I had to return to London as soon as possible, it's so important and I wanted to say bye to you but you left the house early." Alpha Andrew replied.
"That's okay; just call me if you need anything." James said.
"Sure, I will brother, take care of yourself and don't land in trouble, I'm sorry for not helping you finding the girl anymore, but I trust Diego, he will find her in no time."
Alpha Andrew said.
"I know you did try your best, so no hard feelings, be safe." James said and Alpha Andrew hanged off with a satisfying smile.
"I'm sorry, but you will never see her again brother." Alpha Andrew soliloquies.
**Few hours later**
Selena opened her eyes gently, her head hurts as she tried to sit up, and she realized she is in a strange room.
"Dije! Mama! Anyone here?" She screamed but no reply.
Everything that happened flashed back, how she almost escaped but someone knocked her off with something and she passed out.
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
She placed her head on her legs crying.
"Why does life has to be so cruel to me? I never committed any crime, I was attacked countless time, received threat messages, and had to leave indoors, I was almost burnt to death or died by the smoke flames, I had to leave my mom alone, not knowing if she could actually survived loosing me, I came to this place thinking that I will be safe but all in vain, I lose my job, my mom, and life and everything, I even loose Mama and Dije who treated me like family, why is my life so miserable, why can't I live normal?"
She asked herself crying her heart out, her eyes looks swollen and red.
The door opened and someone entered, she moved back immediately.
"Just kill me already, I'm tired of all the damn stress you made me go through, just kill me!" She yelled crying.
Alpha Andrew stared at her pitifully.
He sat next to her on the bed.
"I'm sorry your life had to be like this."
Alpha Andrew said.
"You are sorry, because you had no option than to kill me?" Selena asked.
"No, do I look like a killer?" Alpha Andrew asked softly, she wipes her tears.
"Who knows if they sent you to kill me, I knew they are ruthless and heartless and animals, they killed that man mercilessly because they are very wicked, how they want you to do same, what are you waiting for? Just kill me." Selena shouted though her voice is cracking.
"Look Lady, I'm not here to kill you, I'm here to protect you, and when I'm still breathing, I will never let them harm you, I was the guy you bumped into that night." Alpha Andrew said and she calmed down, that's when she remembered his haircut.
"I tried my best to kept you away from them by distracting them while searching for you, I couldn't found your location until yesterday when your neighbor informed me of your whereabouts, I thought they won't find out but they did, but I'm glad I was able to protect you."
Alpha Andrew said.
"But why are you saving me? Are you not a wolf lord?" Selena asked.
"Because you are innocent, and I can't watched you killed without doing anything, my brother is among the wolf lord's and he was also searching for you, I used that opportunity to play smart and kept you away from him, you don't have to worry, you are safe and far away from them, and they won't be able to find you soon." Alpha Andrew exclaimed.
"Where am I?" She asked.
"Johannesburg, South Africa." He said and she gasped then started crying.
"I won't be able to see Mama and Dije again, worst of all that I didn't even say good bye to them, and Mama would be so worried sick about me." Selena cried.
"Sorry about that, but it's for your own good, it's to keep you safe and away from your attackers, I will be by your side."
Alpha Andrew replied.
He stayed with her the whole day, and few days later.
She gets better again, she can even go out of the house but with her mask on, the one Alpha Andrew bought for her.
She most admits that he is a nice and gentle and she most appreciate him for protecting her.
He got her a phone though she isn't allowed to use it for long and since she still has Mama's number, she called her immediately.
"Hey Mama, it's I, Selena." Selena said and Mama was quite for a while.
"Mama, are you there?" Selena asked.
"Yes my child, we were so worried about you, we thought something really terrible happened to you, I was so scared." Mama said crying.
"It's okay Mama, I didn't tell you why I run from my hometown but it had to do with escaping from some gangs wanting to kill me, and they just realized that I stayed at Kenya so they followed me there and attacked me, but I was rescued and safe." Selena narrated.
"My poor child, why didn't you tell me all this?" Mama asked.
"I didn't want to make you worried." Selena replied.
"Okay, but where are right now?" Mama asked.
"I'm really sorry Mama, but I can't let you know of my whereabouts, I'm sorry, it's not because I don't trust you but it's just not safe." Selena replied.
"I understand dear, I'm glad you are doing great, if you get another chance please do call us." Mama said.
"I sure will Mama, thank you and have a nice day, my regards to Dije." Selena replied.
"I will." Mama replied.
"And please if possible, don't let her know of my situation, I don't want her worried."
Selena pleaded.
"Don't worry my dear, make sure to eat on time." Mama replied.
Selena smiled and hang off, she remembered her mom.
"I wish you are safe mom." Selena said.
*
"You said that Alpha Andrew returned to London urgently, I'm sure that guy most is hiding something." Diego said.
"No, it's something urgent and he may come back, why will he even do that, I trust him, he is my brother, know how you address him." James replied and left the room.
Diego couldn't be convinced that Alpha Andrew had nothing to do with his.
*
Alpha Andrew realizes that he can't hide forever; his brother may find out about his whereabouts sooner or later since he had his boys around.
Maybe hiding in Johannesburg, South Africa is not just the perfect decision, he decided to return to back to face the reality, he is sure that Diego is doubting him.
He enters the room and Selena was crying.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I just remembered my mom, I missed her." Selena replied.
"I'm sure she is fine, by the way, I have something important to tell you." Alpha Andrew said and they both take a seat.
"I have to return to your home town, today itself." Alpha Andrew said.
"But why, you life can be in danger, please don't go, I will be scared, you promised to protect me." Selena replied.
"I'm not going to leave you, I just had to coz staying here always will make my brother doubt me coz he already called asking me if I'm truly in London, if he find out I'm lying, it will put your life in danger, I have to go back." Alpha Andrew said.
"I'm sorry, for making you go through all this stress alone." Selena said.
"Well, I'm not complaining, and I'm glad I helped, I wish my brother will understand how dangerous what he is doing is." Alpha Andrew said.
"I wish so too, I wish he is just like you, I'm tired of hiding, and for how long will this continue to go on?" Selena asked.
"For as long as they don't stop searching for you, I got you everything, the groceries and when you need anything, just give me a call, and remember to always off your phone to avoid them from tracking you." Alpha Andrew said.
She nodded.
"Thank you, and be safe." She said and he packed his bags.
"I sure will." Alpha Andrew replied and gave her a warm smile then bade her bye.
He went to the airport so he can go back on time.
*
**Anthony's house**
"It's has been three days and we have searched the entire Kenya, but no traced of her, where could she be?" Anthony asked.
"Could it be, they already got her before us?" The spy asked.
"I'm feeling like someone helped her escaped out of this country so we have to leave too, she is not here." Anthony replied.
"Okay, I will make arrangements for us to leave." The spy replied.
**Alpha Andrew's house**
James was cleaning his new gun outside when Alpha Andrew returned.
He rushed and met him.
"Brother, I thought you are in London?" James asked.
"Yeah, I was done with everything so I don't want you to be lonely, I decided to return back." Alpha Andrew replied.
James grins in satisfaction.
Now he can prove Diego that Alpha Andrew has nothing to do with the girl disappearance.
"You must be really tired, come in." James said.
Alpha Andrew was in the room with James when Diego joined them, he gave Alpha Andrew a very dangerous look and he quickly looked away.
After the usual casual greetings,
"So Alpha Andrew, you are back." He said.
"Yeah, I left because it was something urgent and now that is not, I returned to be with my brother." Alpha Andrew replied.
"Oh, I see, are you sure you are not hiding something from us?" Diego asked.
"What are you talking about Diego; I thought I made this clear." James replied.
"Your brother has the responsibility of searching for that girl, and he haven't ever told us anything about her, he is acting so weird, returning to London urgently and been away for days, why else wouldn't I suspect you! And that girl just disappeared without any trace of her!" Diego yelled.
James is really angry.
"Know the words you will be using on my brother, there is no reason he will hide her, he didn't even know her." James yelled too.
Alpha Andrew sighed and they all turned to him.
"Brother, let him think whatever he wants to think, all I know is that on working on my laptop 24/7 tracking her down, why will I even hide her when I had nothing to do with her." Alpha Andrew act innocently.
"I don't know why you are suspecting me, but I can assure you that if I find her, I will bring her to you." Alpha Andrew added.
"You see, now enough with the drama and continue searching for her, don't make it hard on my little brother." James said.
"Wait Alpha Andrew, one last question." Diego said.
Alpha Andrew nod.
"You said you went to London because it was something urgent, that's where you belong, I mean, why did you decide to return when your father's burial was done?" Diego asked.
"Because I cared about my brother, and I know one way or the other, he will need my support." Alpha Andrew said and head to his room.
"I know you are hiding something and I will find out soon, soon enough." Diego said in his mind.
"I will appreciate if you stop attacking my brother with all this rude questions, he only offered to help us find the witness, and he isn't a wolf lord." James said.
"There is no trust in wolf lord's." Diego replied.
"Well, I do trust him, I know is because you think he has soft heart that's why he won't want to kill her, but Alpha Andrew isn't capable enough to hide a girl." James said and Diego agreed.
"You are right, so back to business, I just launch is the latest Ak47, it will arrive here tomorrow." Diego said.
"That's good news, don't forget, we need to get new investors willing to pay, the drugs from my side will also arrives tomorrow or next." James said.
"Man, you are reaching the sky, cheers."
Diego said with a chunky laugh and they toast.
While in Alpha Andrew's Room.
He fall on the bed immediately, He just understood that he held his breath all this while.
"God, I knew that Diego is suspecting something." Alpha Andrew thought.
His phone rings and its Selena.
He quickly answered.
"Selena, how you?" He asked.
"I'm fine Alpha Andrew, are you safe?" She asked.
"Yeah, though there is a slight problem but I'm gonna fix it; I may come check on you tomorrow." Alpha Andrew said.
"Alright, I don't want to talk much, just be safe." Selena said and he smiled.
"Take care too." Alpha Andrew replied and turns his face; he was shocked to horror as he saw Diego standing by the door side.
His heart beating faster, but he tried to let it cool, hoping that he didn't hear him.
"So, who are you talking to? The witness huh?" Diego asked.
"Can you just leave me alone? I'm tired of you accusing me and stalking me to the extent of listening to my phone calls!" Alpha Andrew yelled.
"I didn't hear anything, James told me to inform you we are going somewhere, buy yet, I'm keeping my eyes on you." Diego said.
"Yes, whatever." Alpha Andrew replied and shot the door.
*
Anthony and his spy were on meeting.
"I came up with an idea, the guy that attacked you is part of an exclusive wolf lord gang, very powerful, and I think he knew something about the death of your father." The spy said.
"That's nice improvement, so what should we do now?" Anthony asked.
"I heard they are about launching their new weapons and hard drugs and they are looking for partners, so if we agree to be their partner, we will find everything about him." The spy said.
"You are really smart, just start everything immediately, gets to meet them and conclude everything, then fix a date that I will personally meet them." Anthony replied.
"Consider that it done." The spy said.
*
Selena was out to get some groceries, as usual with her face mask on, when she saw some guy following her, she almost got a heart attack, she hastened her footsteps and the guy also started running after her, calling her.
"Stop, wait!" He said.
After running for some minutes, Selena stopped to catch her breath and the guy met up with her.
"Stay away from me, stop following me." Selena yelled.
"I'm not following you, you drop one of your bags and I saw it, that's why I have been running after you." The guy replied.
"Oh, gosh, I'm sorry, I thought, but it's okay, thank you." She said and collected it.
"You welcome." He replied and turns back and leaves.
"I'm going crazy, I need to go back now, I may continue tomorrow." She said to herself and boarded a cab straight back home.
She saw the door opened and again her heart almost collapsed.
She carefully entered and she saw a shadow with the light off.
A hand grabs her and she screamed loudly.
Alpha Andrew laughed and turned the light on.
"Seriously, I almost got a heart attack; you told me you will come tomorrow not today." Selena said.
"Are you not happy to see me?" She asked.
"Of course I am, something terrible happened on my way home, buy I think it just overreacting." Selena said.
"Tell me about it." Alpha Andrew said.
"Someone was following me and I was running like a creep only to know that I left my groceries at the market." Selena exclaimed and Alpha Andrew laughed.
"C'mon it's not funny." She said.
"Maybe just little." He replied.
"I cooked something, will you eat?" Selena asked.
"Yeah, later, I guess my brother won't be back till tomorrow, so I will stay here with you today, I was right about Diego suspecting me, and he blubbered me with a lot of questions, the only relief was that my brother trusted me so much." Alpha Andrew replied.
"And I'm sad you are hiding me from him, he will hate you if he finds out." Selena said.
"But at least you will be safe and that's all matters." Alpha Andrew replied.
She served him the delicious rice she cooked; they are getting along pretty well.
*
**The next day**
The spy had arranged meeting with James, and they met at his farm house.
"Hello boss." The spy said.
"Hi, you most had a stressful day, mind for wine, or drink?" James asked.
"No, I'm good, I just want to check out the weapons before my boss meet you tomorrow to finalize the deal." The spy said.
"Oh, that's good, I will show you around, but first I will like you to meet my friend."
James said and called Diego in.
"So, you are?" Diego asked giving him a suspicious look.
"I'm uhmm Nathaniel." The spy lied.
"That's cool, Mr Nathan, its nice having deals with you, are you here with the money?" Diego asked.
"Not really, I'm here because my boss sent me to check things out so he can personally come tomorrow." The spy answered.
"Okay, we will show you around." Diego said and they started checking the weapons and hard drugs which is mostly cocaine's and Marijuana.
"We have to be careful delivering this, because the police might find out." The spy said.
"I'm not scared of the police, been a wolf lord means been untouchable and feared by everyone including the law, have a drink so you can see the remaining goods." James said and the spy refused not trusting them, they can decide to poison his drink so he was alerted and careful, because what he is doing is highly risky.
After everything, he returned back to Anthony.
*
"Everything done?" Anthony asked.
"Yes, but the girl is not there, I don't think they have her." The spy replied.
"What if they hide her? Have you recognized any familiar face?" Anthony asked.
"The first man that welcomed me, I didn't really know his face, but his name is James, a well known wolf lord who took over his dad not long ago, his dad is a very close friend and business partner to your dad." The spy replied.
"That's cool, what of the other guy?" Anthony asked.
"Remember back at Kenya, the guy that attacked you trying to kidnapped the girl, he is the one and his name is Diego, I did recognized him and at first the kind of look he gave me makes me suspect if he know me somewhere, but he didn't, so practically, our focus should be on that Diego." The spy said.
"You said two of them killed my dad, so we shouldn't only focus on Diego, but finding him will make it easier for us to find the other murderer." Anthony said.
"Yes, I also think so, till now no trace of the witness, I don't know if someone helped her escaped, but we have to arrange the money before tomorrow, the drugs money." The spy said.
"But we have to be careful since we are not planning on taking their goods, so my money should be safe, provide us some good gangs too that will escorts us to the place." Anthony ordered.
He picked up his gun and kissed it.
"It's finally time to revenge on your death father, till then, keep on resting in peace."
Anthony said.
*
Alpha Andrew was still with Selena when James called him.
"Where are you?" He asked.
"Taking care of something's." Alpha Andrew replied.
"Leave everything and return back home, we need your attention." James said and hangs off.
He turned to Selena.
"Everything okay?" She asked.
"Yes, my brother called saying I should return home immediately, I will call you later." Alpha Andrew said and started packing.
"Okay, take care." Selena said and helped him with his bags,
Now she will have to continue staying alone and bored.
Alpha Andrew waved her bye with a smile and enter his car.
He drove off in a high speed; keeping Selena is not a small job to him.
**Alpha Andrew's house**
James paced around the room waiting for Alpha Andrew and when he heard his car horn, he quickly went to him.
"Where have you been?" James yelled.
"Brother, I just went in search of that girl, I have gotten a new information about her." Alpha Andrew lied.
"Don't ever leave the house without informing me, your life can be in danger, my enemies can use you against me, if you can't be my strength then please don't be the tool for my weakness." James spat.
"I'm sorry brother, I promise to let you know of my whereabouts from now on." Alpha Andrew said.
"Alright, I will go take care of some things." James said and left, Diego appeared.
"Keep on fooling your brother, but you can't fool me, I know you went to see that girl you are hiding." Diego said.
"For the one million times, I told you, she isn't with me." Alpha Andrew replied.
Diego looked straight into his eyes.
"If I find out you are lying to me and you are keeping that girl, I will punish you, and you won't like the outcome and the consequences of your actions." Diego threatened.
"Whatever, she is not with me." Alpha Andrew replied and walked away.
