Weldon sire...

Thanks bro.

EPISODE 36 (FINAL)

Mr. Josh moved closer to her smiling.

“If you can hear me nod your head” he said looking at her.

She nodded her head gently looking at him.

“Can you see me? Can you see everyone?” I asked looking at her. She nodded her head softly.

Mr. Josh took his Thesloscope and put it in his ear then placed it on her chest to feel her heartbeat. He removed it and dropped it beside him. The oxygen mask was still on Stella.
*************************************

John’s POV
I was staring at her wondering if she could remember me because the Stella I once know was a ghost and now she’s gone. Could the real Stella possibly remember me? I thought to myself looking at her.

“You guys will have to come back in the evening or later. I don’t think she can talk now” Mr. Josh said looking at us.

“Oh so bad” Sandra said looking at her.

Stella moved her hand to her mouth and removed the oxygen mask slowly. ”Ca–s-s
san–dra?” She said in a low and weak tone.

We all looked at her in surprise. We were all surprised she spoke. Sandra moved to her and took her hand.

“Thank you for waking up. Thank you so much” she said kissing her hand and smiling.

Elle quickly rushed to her bed smiling.

“Sis, what of me? Can you recognise me?” she asked looking at her.

She nodded her head smiling.

“Thank you so much”she said looking at her.

“Wow, this is so wonderful!” Mr. Josh said staring at her.

She looked at Jenny then looked back at me with and unknown expression written all over her face. Cassandra noticed this and smiled.

“Do you remember John?” she asked her.

She looked at me for long before smiling and nodding her head. That put a smile on my face also because I don’t expect her to remember me.

“And what of her?” she asked pointing at Jenny. She nodded her head smiling again.

Jenny also smiled looking at her.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
When I was taken to the police station, my mom and sister heard about it in no time. So she tried to cover it up by bribing the police for my freedom. But this time, the police never listen to her. I was accused of attempting murderer.
*************************************

Sandra’s POV
After everything was solved, my mom was called for and she quickly rushed there in no time. She was so happy and overjoyed. She treated Stella as a new born baby for that moment.

Three days later, Stella was using a wheel chair because she can’t walk properly. After a week, she was able to walk properly. The following week, she began to go out but used to cover her face in case someone might see her. Few days later, a reporter found out about her and our area was full of reporters and newscasters. She later disclosed the secret behind her death to them and it was published out.

Mr. Josh was compensated urgly by her company for the good work. Stella’s fans were so happy about the good news and Elle was popular among her friends in school for the closeness between her and Stella.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
The case was taken to court after they found out I was the one that murdered Stella and John’s mother. My mom tried to stop it from happening by taking the blame before the court that she did it. She was the one that killed John’s mother so I should be release. She started confessing all what happened that day before the court. I was given death penalty for hurting Stella, and for killing John’s mother and to crown it all for making Debbie be in that condition and for the countless life I have wasted.

My mom can’t bare the pain so she fainted. I also cried and started regretting my actions. Dad was in the court listening to all this. His heart was broken because he never knew we did that to his favourite wife.

When they were about taking me out, I felt a sharp pain in my heart. My body was aching seriously. It was then I remembered if the evil spirit leaves my body, I would die. I finally collapsed on the floor and my eyes were shut.
*************************************

John’s POV
After two weeks, I was able to meet Stella because she was too busy throughout these days because of the reporters and the incident that happened three years ago. We made an appointment to meet at a restaurant. When we met, I was so happy to finally see her. She was so different from the ghost Stella I know. She looks amazingly beautiful. When we met, we greeted each other and I ordered for the most expensive meal on the menu.

After dinner, I asked her if we could go for a walk before departing. She agreed with me and we left the restaurant.

We were walking down beside each other. I have something I have been trying to ask her since and I think now us the chance. I cleared my throat looking at her.

“Can I ask you something?” I asked looking at her.

“Yes you can” she replied.

“How were you able to recognise me? Do you remember been a ghost?” I asked looking at her.

She smiled looking at me.

“Do ghost esist?”she asked.

I was so surprised by the question. If she didn’t remember, how can she know me and Jenny?” I thought to myself.

“How do you remember us then” I asked her looking curious.

“While I was sleeping, I had a wonderful dream about you guys been my saviour. I met you guys in my dream” she replied smiling.

“Really? Wow that’s not a dream though” I said looking at her.

“Thank you for your effort in my dream. I can’t thank you enough” she said looking at me.

I stopped and faced her. I dipped my hand in my pocket and brought out the wrist chain.

“I think it’s time to return this to it’s rightful owner” I said looking at her. I took her hand and wore it around her wrist.

“Oh. You have this?” she said looking at me.

“You’re the guy” she said smiling.

I was confused by her action.

“You mean?” I asked her.

She smiled and hugged me tight.

“Thanks for returning this. So much happy to meet you again” she said still hugging me.

I was confused for a while.

She quickly released me and looked at my face.

“Am sorry for that. Good to meet you again” she said smiling.

I don’t believe she could remember that day also. I smiled looking at her while she also smiled looking happy. We continue walking down the street. I used the chance to hold her hand. She noticed this and smiled looking at me.

EPISODE 35 (SEMI-FINAL)

When I got to him, I pushed him away from Stella and he staggered back to the wall.

“You can’t do anything to my sister. You can’t!” I screamed looking at him.
*************************************

John’s POV
When I saw the situation Cassandra was, I have to stop everything at once. So, I brought out the black powder and the blood in the syringe. I was about opening the sachet when I noticed Stella was acting strange. Her body was fading off and she was becoming translucent as the other time.

“Why are you like this again? You can’t do this now” I said holding her arms.

“I also don’t know what’s happening to me,” she said looking at me.

“Hold on. You can’t go anywhere now. Everything would be over soon. Please hang on” I said.

Her body became so translucent that I could see the other side through her. She was also crying confused at what’s about to happen. I heard a loud noise from Sandra’s direction and I quickly turned back. Stephen pushed her to some tools and stuff beside her. She fell to the ground groaning in pain. Mr. and Mrs. Josh became more scared of the situation.

“What’s happening here? How does he get in? Who’s he?” he asked looking confused.

I turned back to look at Stella but she was gone.

“No! You can’t do that. What will happen to her? Is she gone for good? She can’t die. Please you need to come back” I said crying.

Jenny was also crying while Mr. Josh and his family found it weird because they can’t see who am talking to.

Stephen tried to get closer to Stella’s bed but I stopped him by pushing him away. When I pushed him, the syringe dropped to the ground and he stepped on it. He looked at me and started laughing. He moved closer to me and grabbed me by the neck. I tried to free myself but his power became stronger.
*************************************

Sandra’s POV
When I saw how Stephen tried to hurt John, I managed to stand up. I found out Stephen had stepped on the syringe and the blood has been spilled on the floor.

“Let him go now you evil monster!” I screamed at him.

“Will you shut your mouth? I thought you were different but you betrayed me. I’ll tell you nobody betrayed me and go Scott free” he said applying more pressure to the way he grabbed John’s neck.

He dropped John and he landed on the floor. He was in pain and not able to stand up. Stephen faced me and moved closer when he was about to get to me, I heard the sound of hitting. Jenny hit his head with a wine bottle. He didn’t move but stopped for a while and turned back slowly to look at Jenny.

“You can’t hurt anyone again. You have to stop here. Everyone saw you’re the culprit now so stop everything and surrender yourself to the police” Jenny said panting heavily.

“Who the hell are you? How dare you?!” he said in a loud voice and hit Jenny with his hand. She flew and landed on the hard wall. She then fell to the ground groaning in pain. I picked the black powder from the floor and opened it. He then turned back to me smiling.

“You actually thought you guys can destroy me with that? Why can’t you believe what I told you? It can’t work on me.” he said laughing.

I quickly moved to the desk behind me and to a sharp long tool there. I then stabbed my hand with it.

“Then I’ll do it like this. This would work on you” I said and pour the sachet in my palm then dropped my blood to it. I threw everything at him in anger.

He started screaming as his body was burning up in flames. The evil spirit left his body then vanished into the thin air. He looked at me and fell to the ground slowly looking weak. I quickly went to others and helped them up.

“He’s gone. We did it. He’s gone for good” I said helping them up.

A few minutes later, two policemen came in while Mr. Josh followed them behind.

“Here he is. He broke into my house” he said pointing at the weak Stephen.

The police took him away to their station.

“Where’s Stella? Where’s she?” John said looking around.

We all heard soft coughing from her bed and everyone looked at her direction. Dr. Josh quickly rushed to her bed and checked her up.

“She’s conscious! She’s back to life” he shouted looking at us.

We all rushed there and her eyes opened. She stared at us one after the other without moving her body or saying anything.

Now that the evil spirit in Stephen destroyed, what's next?

EPISODE 34

(QUARTER-FINALE)
We started staring at each other one after the other in shock.

“That means we need to hurry up,” Jenny said looking at me.

“Let me call Sandra when we leave. Because I don’t even know how to get the black powder. How should we do this?” I said.

When we left Jenny grandma’s place, we were heading back in my car.

“We need to act fast or Stephen might win this time around too. I can’t stand it if he hurt two people on the same day. We need to stop him” I said.

I brought out my phone and called Sandra.

“Hello. Where are you?” I asked her.

“Stephen called for me. Am heading to his place now” she replied.

“No! You can’t. Please go to my place we’ll soon be there. Stephen is planning something worse this time. Your life is at risk. Don’t go to him please” I said begging her.

“OK. I will” she replied without hesitation.

I dropped the call and concentrated on driving.

“What did she say? Is she going to your house?” Stella asked sounding worried.

“Yes, she is” I replied and put more speed to the car.

When we got to my house, I saw her car parked outside while she was standing beside it. I parked beside her and we all get out.

“Let’s go in,” I said leading them towards the door.

I opened the door with my key and we went in. We all sat in the living room with a worried expression on everyone’s face.

I explained everything Jenny’s grandma told us to Cassandra. She was so surprised her blood was the only ingredient that could be added to the powder to destroy Stephen.

“Am ready to give as much blood as needed just to get rid of that demon” she said.

“But what of the powder? How can we get that from him?” Jenny asked her.

She smiled nodding her head.

“No need to worry about that. I have it with me,” she replied.

I was so confused about how she got it from Stephen.

“How did it get to you? Hope he won’t suspect you take it?” I asked her.

“He disposed of it himself since it’s something that might destroy him, I think that was why he disposed of it. I was so lucky to find it before the cleaner could empty then trash” she replied.

She opened her handbag and brought it out of extra black nylon.

“Here it is,” she said showing it to us.

I got relieved after seeing it but my mind was not at peace yet because we were told to act fast before it would be too late.

A call came into Cassandra’s phone. She took her phone and looked at the screen then looked back at us.

“Stephen?” I guess looking at her. She nodded her head in response.

“Pick it and tell him you’re feeling sick so you can’t make it to his place,” I said looking at her.

She picked it and placed it on her hear.

“Hello. When I wanted to come, I felt a strong stomach ache so I went back inside to rest. Am sorry for not making it up to you” Sandra said sounding weak.

I don’t know Stephen’s reply.

“No, you don’t need to visit me. I’ll be OK soon because I’ve called my doctor to attend to me. You don’t need to bother about that” Sandra said.

When she ended the call, I asked her what Stephen said to her on the phone.

“He said he wants to come and check on me but I told him not to bother” she replied.

“How do we withdraw your blood? We need to be fast as she told us” I said looking at Cassandra.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
When I called her, she lied to me she was at home when I knew she wasn’t.

I trusted Sandra with all my heart but she has betrayed me by working with John and co. I know what to do to her but I don’t want something I’ll regret later because I truly love her. Anytime the evil spirit in me tried to react to her, I always try best to stop that from happening because sometimes I use to have control over the spirit. Those times I can’t control it were the time I killed Stella and Debbie and many other people that are so dear to me. my body was not acting then but the evil spirit in anger.

I closed my eyes tightly and rested my head back on the seat. I heard some sounds in my head and that made me open them again. The spirit is trying to use me again. I stood up and blocked my ears but the sound increased. A few seconds later, it overpowered me and I was not in control anymore. I looked around the room smiling. It’s 6:00 pm, All my thoughts were to kill both Stella and Cassandra. I left my room and went for my car in the compound. I got into the car and drove out towards the place I heard Stella was receiving treatments. When I got there, I got down from my car and stood before the building smiling to myself.

I used the power of speed and invisibility to enter through the window. I looked around the house and saw three people in the living room. They can’t see me because I was in the form of an evil spirit. I started sniffing to guess the room she was kept. The scent leads me to the room she was kept. When I got there, the door was locked. I went through it and finally, I saw her lying unconsciously on the bed with an oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose.

I smiled to myself and moved closer to her.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV
My blood was taken with a syringe. We all prepare to use that on Stephen but don’t know where he would be and how to use it. Suddenly, Jenny closed her eyes.
We all kept quiet looking at her. She stood up looking at us.

“There’s danger. We need to be fast. A spirit is telling me Stella is in danger. And I guess this can be true. Where’s Stella? We need to go there now!” Jenny said looking impatient.

We all stood up and rushed to the place. When we got there, I knocked on the gate and Elle opened it.

“Wel…” I didn’t let her finish before I barged in and walked down towards their door. The rest followed me. When we got to the living room, mom and dad stood upon seeing the expression on our face.

“Mom, Dad, did you allow anyone into this house?” I asked them.

“No one is here. We are the only one at home. Why did you ask?” dad asked looking at me.

I looked at one of the windows and saw that the curtain was opened.

“No Stephen. You can’t do this” I said almost crying.

“Get me the key! The key to a special room” I requested looking at dad.
“Elle get me the key from my bag,” he said facing Elle.

Before she could go, I rushed there and opened her office bag. I scattered everything there and brought us the key. We quickly rushed to the door and opened it. I was the first to go in. When I got in, I saw Stephen about to stab Stella.

“Stop!!!” I screamed rushing to him.

Hmmm!!!

Am sure you're at the edge of whatever you're sitting on now as you're reading this piece.

•Do you think Stephen succeeded in his mission?

•Do you think John and Co. we're able to destroy Stephen alongside the evil drunken spirit in him?

Let the comments unlock the next episode.

TBC

EPISODE 33

John’s POV
The following day, Jenny, Stella, and I went to Jenny’s grandma’s place. It was a bit far from us. Not different from a hometown because everywhere still looks old, unlike the city. Jenny was directing me while I was driving. When we got there, I parked my car in front of their gate and we got down.

“Is it this building?” I asked Jenny.

“Yes. She lives here,” she replied nodding her head.

The house still looks neat unlike some we saw while coming. It’s just a mini flat but looks old fashioned. Jenny moved closer to the gate and knocked on it. In a few seconds, a lady came to open it.

“Good morning Jenny” she greeted smiling.

“Good morning.” she returned the greeting while we walked in.

“Grandma went to get something she’ll be back shortly,” the lady said looking at Jenny.

“Why can’t you get it for her instead of stressing her?” she asked.

“She insisted on getting it herself. You know how she acts stubborn” the lady said with a little frown.

“Alright we’ll wait for her,” Jenny said.

“Let’s go in,” she said facing us. She leads us in while we followed her behind.

I was looking around the compound as we walked towards the door. When we got to the door, Jenny opened it and we got in. The house looks better than I think. It was well furnished and neat unlike it’s outside. We got to the living room and she told us to have our seat. We sat down on the couch while the other lady left us.

In a few seconds, she came back with juice and two glass cups in a tray. She placed it on the table and was about opening it.

“Don’t bother. I’ll do it myself” Jenny said.

“Alright,” she said and left us.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV
I visited my mom’s place as promised. When I got there, she was so happy to see me.

“I went to Joshua’s place yesterday expecting you to be there,” she said looking at me.

“Yes, I was told you came. I was busy at work at that time. That was why I came to visit you especially today.” I said smiling.

“How’s everything? How are you doing at your workplace?” she asked staring at me.

“Am doing good,” I replied.

“It was so boring living alone all this while. But now am happy that am not alone anymore,” she said looking at me.

“I’ll soon move…” I stopped for a while when I saw something in my handbag. I removed it and was staring at it. I know Stephen planted this on me.

“Oh my God! I Am finished. He already heard so many things. What should I do?” I thought to myself looking at it.

“What’s the problem? What’s that?” mom asked looking at my hand.

I placed my finger to my lips giving her a sign to be quiet for a while. I took my phone and texted her.

“It’s a bug. Someone is monitoring me” I sent it to her.

“Really? Who’s it?” she texted back.

“I need to leave now. I’ll visit you later” I texted and picked up my bag.

I waved at her and left the living room heading out for my car. When I got to the compound and was about opening my car door, Stephen’s call came in.
*************************************

John’s POV
We waited more than 30mins before Jenny’s grandma arrives home. I greeted her and Jenny did the same. Stella didn’t bother to greet them because she can’t see her anyway.

She looks beside me as if she saw her.

“You were not taught how to greet?” she asked looking beside me.

I first thought she was referring to me but I found out it was Stella.

“Good evening ma. I don’t know you could see me also” Stella said looking at her in surprise.

“Why can’t I? Are you saying my sights are bad?” she asked looking at her.

“Am sorry ma” Stella apologized again.

“It OK. But learn to greet people” she said.

By looking at her, she looks like a strict person. I guess she’ll be so wicked for real. By judging by her behavior, she must be a mean grandma” I thought to myself looking at her.

She raised her eyebrows looking at me. Jenny also looked at my direction smiling.

“Don’t judge people by their behaviors. Not everyone with bad behavior and attitudes is wicked OK?” she said looking at me badly.

I was so surprised she knew what I was thinking. I tried so hard not to think she’s a witch or she might know that too. I focused my mind on another thing and try hard not to think about anything.

“So, why are you guys here?” she asked.

Jenny explained everything to her about Stephen and his evil deeds. She requested a way to get rid of Stephen without sacrificing any life.

After Jenny told her this, she was silent for a while staring at us.

“Who told you guys live would be sacrificed?” she asked looking at us.

“I told them. I dreamt about it a couple of days” Jenny said.

"It’s so simple. If you must get rid of the evil spirit inside him, he will die as well,” she said.

“Yes. Who cares?” Stella said looking at her.

“OK. If you guys want to get rid of him, his true love blood would be mixed to the black power. Which is the girl you saw in your dream? She won’t die. If her blood is mixed with it, then that would get rid of him. His true love blood. But the spirit in me right now is telling me the girl is near to her grave because the evil spirit is after her. If you guys fail to do this tomorrow or earlier, two people will die soon. I don’t really see the second person but he/she is among us here right now” she said looking at us one after the other.

My heart was beating so fast on hearing that.

“Not again! No one must die again before his evil deed would be revealed.” I thought to myself feeling restless.
**********************************

Now that how they've got the message on how Stephen would be destroyed. Do you think it's going to be an easy task to achieve?

To be continued.

EPISODE 32

Stella’s POV
“What do we do now? No one must hurt or die again” John said feeling bad.

“I also don’t know what to do," I replied looking at him.

“I remember a day Jenny told me about her grandma, I don't know if she can help on that. Should we give it a try?” I asked looking at him.
*************************************

Cassandra's POV
I entered and looked around. I found no one in his office. I think he went somewhere. I know he’s at work because his office was not locked. I entered and went to his table. I remembered he brought out the black sachet from one of the drawers. I looked through the window to check if anyone is coming. When I saw no one was coming, I opened the drawer and started looking for the sachet. I searched everywhere In the drawer but was not able to find it. I closed them back and positioned everything the way they were kept. I stood up looking around.

“Where could he have kept it? Why can’t I find it?” I asked myself looking at every angle.

I looked at the waste bin by the door and my mind told me maybe he disposed of it there. I walked there and opened the cover. I fumble with the peppers and other stuff there. I haven’t searched for long before I found it. I picked it and stood to uphold it.

“Yes! I got it” I said smiling.

I placed back the trashes and covered the waste bin. I kept the sachet In my pocket and adjusted my dress properly.

As I was about to leave, the door opened and Stephen walks in. My heart almost jumps out at the sight of him. He was staring at me awkwardly and that made me more scared and restless.

“Good morning,” I said smiling with one mind.

“How was your night rest?” he replied and walked towards his desk.

He sat down on the chair looking at me.

“I called your line yesterday night but you were not picking. Why?” he said looking at me.

“Oh. I was at home. Maybe I was fast asleep then” I said in a firm voice.

“You were asleep?” he asked looking at me.

“Yes. Why did you call?” I asked.

“I just wanted to ask if you arrived home safely,” he said looking at me.

“Yes, Thanks,” I replied smiling.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
I think she’s keeping something from me. How can she lie about her whereabout yesterday?” I thought to myself staring at her. Well, I already implanted a bug in her favorite handbag. Anything that happens, I would be able to know soon.

“You can leave for now. I don’t have anything to say to you now. Maybe later in the day” I said looking at her.

“Alright sir,” she said and left my office.

Three days are gone. She didn’t go to that place where I've tracked her to. On the night of the fourth day, she headed there again. I also followed her. When she got there, she entered the building again. I parked my car to the side of the road. And connected the device. I inserted my Bluetooth earphone to my ear to listen to whatever they were saying.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV
When I got to Elle’s parents' home, I greeted everyone.

“Welcome, dear. How’s work?” dad asked smiling. I went to sit down on the couch beside mom.

“Your mom was here today. She came to check on Stella. She just left not too long.” mom said smiling.

“Really? I also called her this afternoon. I’ll give her a visit tomorrow.

Do you wonder how I met my mom?

Actually, dad tried her best to find my biological parents when I told them Stella was my blood sister. A few weeks ago, he was able to find my mom. He told me our mom traveled out of the country a year after the news said Stella died. It was a painful experience for her. She was left with no one because her father also died a few days after he heard about Stella’s death. Mom found it hard to live on but was forced to accept that as fate. When she came back from traveling, Doctor Josh was able to find her quickly because he told me my mom came for a check-up at his hospital.

He found out she was his old friend in high school. They exchanged greetings and were so excited they met again. So, the doctor asked her about her family. It was then she told her the story of how she lost me and how Stella died.

Mr. Josh said he was so surprised after she said all that. He also told her everything about how he found me and how he saved Stella. He said my mom was overjoyed that day. She wanted to compensate her with a lot of money but Mr. Josh rejected it saying its fate. He then brought my mom home that day.

She saw where Stella was kept for treatment. That was why daddy called me to come home that day saying he has good news for me.

When I got home, and he explained everything to me, my mom and I hugged each other crying. She cried so much that I consoled her. I told her nothing would happen to us again since we all met each other again. Even If Stella was still in a coma, I know she’ll wake up one day.

Back to the present...
“Oh, I really missed it. I’ll meet her tomorrow then” I said looking at dad.

“How’s Stella’s health?” I asked dad.

“She’s getting better than expected. I guaranty that she’ll wake up in less than a week or two,” he replied.

“Am so happy about how things change now. My mom is back and my sister will wake up soon. I hope nothing bad happens to any of us again. And everybody” I said looking at dad.

“Amen!” they chorused smiling.
*************************************

Stephens POV
When I heard all the conversation, I found it so hard to believe that Stella was not dead.

"How? I mean I stabbed her back then. And the dagger was not ordinary. She was supposed to be as good as dead. What went wrong that day? She must not wake up or my mom will be in trouble. I have to stop every chance of that.” I thought to myself.

What's your take on this?

akindele91:
wow finally we know d missing item but I don't think it work because it is Cassandra blood .... I guess anybody blood will work with the powder.... o.p please don't kill Cassandra character for us

EPISODE 31
He looks so much interested in what I want to say to him.

“What’s that? Do still have any secret we don’t know about?” he asked looking at me.

“Yes, I do. And the secret is...”

I stopped seeing the reaction on his face.

“Continue,” he said looking at me.

“The truth is, Stella is not dead yet but In coma” I finally said.

His eyes went wild on hearing that. He has this confusing look on his face. He was silent for a while staring at me.
*************************************

John’s POV
When she said that, my heart beats so hard and I found it hard to believe. Stella was also surprised to hear that. She was also staring at Cassandra but can’t ask her anything about it because she can’t see or hear her. So, she faced me directly.

“What’s the meaning of what she’s saying? Could that be true? Am I not dead? Then why am I invisible to humans? What does she really mean?” she asked me questions continuously but I could not find an answer to that because I was more confused.

“How? I mean have you seen her? Where’s she?” I asked looking at her.

“My Foster parents home. They took her on the day of the accident because luckily for her, their daughter who happened to be one of her fans found her and took her home that day. Since then, Stella had been in coma up till now am talking to you guys. She still has a chance to live, if the treatment makes a quick recovery on her.” she said staring at me.

“Really? I could still live as a human? Could this be real?” Stella said sounding unbelievable.

I looked at her and smiled.

“That’s good news. That means you still have hope of returning being a human one day” I said looking at her.
*************************************

Cassandra took us to where Stella was. When we got to their house, I greeted the woman and a girl. I guess she was the one who saved Stella. Cassandra called the woman privately to talk to her. After a few minutes, they’re back in the living room.

“Am so happy about this. We have been taking care of this girl for the past three years. Even though my husband doesn’t know her parents, he continues putting all his effort into her recovery. I also support her treatment due to my daughter’s love for her. Since she was stabbed the day she was brought her, someone tried to kill her. Good thing she was found on time or else she would have died.” the woman said facing me.

I looked at Stella beside me and nodded my head to her saying it’s OK. She felt bad remembering the whole incident again.

I was taken to the room she was put in. I moved closer to bed and looked at her closely. Her face looks the same. It never changes. Stella also moved closer but was a bit far from where I was standing. The looks on her face tell that she’s hurt. She feels sad looking at her body.

“Let's go back,” I said to stop her from looking.
*************************************

After John went to the room to check on her, I sat down on the couch with mom the living room.
*************************************

Jenny’s POV
Stephen got into the room Stella was kept without anyone’s knowledge. He moved closer to her bed and removed a sharp knife from his coat. He raised it up to stab Stella but Cassandra stopped her. She got into a real fight with Stephen stopping him from using the object on her. Stephen turned into a scary beast and overpowered Cassandra. He used the object on Cassandra instead.

While Cassandra was battling with the spot she was stabbed, she still tried her best to stop Stephen. She brought out a black sachet from the pocket and opened it with her teeth. She blew it on Stephen but it doesn’t work on him. Rather it makes him more powerful. The black powder stained her hand already. It mixed with the blood on her hands. While Stephen tried to attack her again, she pushed him away with her bloody hand. Stephen staggered back and the spot Sandra touched started burning. She looked at her hand In surprise and approached him. When she got to him, she touched his body with both hands and Stephen started burning. She did it continuously hitting him angrily with her hand. Stephen became more powerless.

Finally, a black evil spirit came out of him and turns into arches before it disappeared into the thin air. After that, Cassandra fell to the ground and died while Stephen also fell to the ground and died also.

I opened my eyes sweating and breathing heavily. It was all a dream?

To be continued.

EPISODE 30
He looked at me and wiped the blood off from the corner of his lips with his finger.

“You’re sure a funny type. How can you come to my house and pick up a fight with me for no reason?” he asked looking at me.

“You’re a beast! You don’t worth living on earth. All your evil deeds will be revealed soon. I’ll make sure of that.”

I said looking at him.

“Really? Wow, you’re so amusing.” he said looking at me.

He moved closer to my ear smiling.

“Go ahead and do that. Let’s see what you’ve got. When you have the evidence, come back to me” he said.

I tighten my fist getting more angry. He looked at me smiling.

“You this monster! I’ll make sure I be the one to rip out your black evil heart. I’ll get revenge for what you and your witch mother did to my mom.” I said looking at him.

I got out of his house and headed home still angry.
*************************************

Debbie’s parent were informed about their daughter’s condition. After they took Debbie out of the country, the police began investigation the incident. Evidence was not found because am sure Stephen would have taken care of it. They continue the investigation on the case but the culprit was not found.
*************************************

Sandra’s POV
I was sitting opposite to Stephen in the office. He brought out a black sachet from his drawer and showed it to me.

“This dropped from Debbie. She tried to use this on me when I was with her. This is for destroying evil spirits and ghosts. I wonder where she got it from.” he said looking at it.

“Really? You mean this can destroy evil spirits?” I asked in surprise.

"I now know why Debbie was so desperate to get this from her house. She planned to use it on Stephen?” I thought to myself staring at it.

“But so bad this can’t work on me like that. Am so powerful than this. It can work only if one thing is added to it” he said looking at me.

I wonder what that could be but I don’t want to ask him too much of questions not to looks suspicious.

“That only one thing that could be added to this to make it work one I is… I can’t tell you about that. It’s a secret within me.” he said looking at me.

He never tells me about it and I didn’t ask him.
*************************************

John’s POV
After I closed from work, I went home. When I got home and entered my room, I saw Stella moving about. I was so scared when I first saw her. I thought it was an evil ghost.

”What are you doing here?” I asked her.

“I just got In. I feel like seeing your room when you were absent. I didn’t know you’ll come back early” she replied looking at me.

I moved to the shelf where she was standing and quickly picked the wrist chain up. I forgot to put it back into the drawer this morning. She looked at me smiling.

“Don’t worry I saw it already,” she said smiling.

“Really?” I asked and then closed the box and dropped it in my drawer closing it back.

She turned to me making a serious face.

“But. That looks familiar,” she said.

“Have we met before?” she asked staring at me.

I was so confused about the answer I suppose to say to the question.

“Do you remember anything?” I asked her.

“I have a feeling as we’ve met before,” she said looking confused.

“I don’t think so,” I said and took off my suit. I moved out while she followed me. When I got to the living room, I heard someone pressing on the bell and I went to check who’s at the door.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV
After we closed from work, I visited John and Stella. I think it’s time to let them know Stella is not dead yet but in a coma.

When I got to John’s house, I explained all that Stephen told me.

“So you mean only one thing could be added to the black powder to make it work? But what is it?” he asked looking at me.

“Yes. But I have no idea what it could be” I said.

“We’ll find that out. We must find it out” he said looking at me.

“And I have something to tell you,” I said looking at John and looking beside him not knowing where Stella could be.

“What’s that?” he asked looking at me.
*************************************************

Can you guess what would be added to the black powder to destroy John?

Let's see funny answers.

Ooops
Pls can we get small dose for the night

Sorry bro. Was really tired. Had a hectic day.

EPISODE 29

John’s POV
When Stella and I waited for Debbie and Sandra for so long, I took my phone and dialed Debbie’s number but she was not picking up. It rang for so long but no one picks it.

“What’s happening? Why Is she not picking up?” Stella asked looking at me.

“I don’t know. Let me get there now” I replied and took my car key from the couch heading out. She followed me and we both went to Debbie’s apartment.

When I got there, I saw the door opened. I got to the living room and found Sandra’s phone on the center table. The house was so quiet that I wondered what really happened. I walked slowly towards her room. When I got there, I was so shocked by what I saw. When Stella also got there and looked inside, she opened her mouth in shock.

“Debbie! Sandra! What really happened here?” she asked crying.

She rushed to both of them calling their names. I was just staring at them. I don’t know what next to do. It felt like a bad dream to me. Stella was weeping while calling their names.

“Stephen did it again?” I said in a low tone looking at both of them.

A few minutes later, the ambulance came to take them after I reported the incident. Debbie was badly injured with her body full of blood.

“Had I know, I won’t let her come for what she wants to take. I wonder what made her risked her life for it as this” I thought to myself regretting.

As they took them into the ambulance, Stella was still crying. I followed them to the hospital in the ambulance. Just as they were giving them First-aids, Cassandra opened her eyes and stood up.

“Debbie! Where’s Debbie?” that was her first statement.

“Calm down. She’s in a critical state right now.” One of the nurses said holding her.

When we got there, Debbie was taken into the operation room. While, Cassandra, Stella and I waited behind. I was so sad and was moving about looking worried.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
It was bad and heartbroken to see Debbie in that state. I knew Stephen was the one behind it.

When the operation took so long, I got tired of waiting and headed there.

“I have to see her now. I want to know what’s really happening” I said looking at John.

“But you can’t. It would make you cry more” he said looking at me.

Sandra was staring at his mouth while looking at each side looking for me.

“I won’t. My mind is not at peace. Let me just go” I said and disappeared.

When I got to the operation room, I saw as the doctors were trying their best on her. I moved closer and looked at her face weeping. I bit my finger shaking my head at her sight.

The doctors were trying their best to save her life but it was all useless.

When the machine drops to 00, they all gave up. I started crying more.

“What happened to her? Is she dead? Why are you guys not doing anything?” I asked them even though they can’t hear my voice. I stood beside her crying seriously.

“Debbie you can’t die also. Please wake up. Am sorry for everything. You’re like this because of me. Please wake up Debbie!” I screamed her name.

I felt a light tap behind me and I looked back. To my surprise, I saw Debbie.

“It’s not your fault. It’s my fate to die today. I don’t regret anything because I know everything would be over soon. Stop weeping.” she said looking at me.

“No! You can’t see me because you’re not dead yet. You have to stay alive to see Stephen's doom. Don’t die now. Please do that for me as your best friend. Go back to the life you’re not supposed to be here with me please!!!” I said crying.

She nodded her head and walked towards the bed her soul was lying. She slept on it and her spirit disappeared.

“Her heart is beating again,” a doctor said and they all continue the operation. I took a deep breath nodding my head positively.

“Yes. That’s how it should be. You have to go back” I said looking at her.
*************************************

John’s POV
We waited almost 2hours and the operation was still going on. I wonder what’s really happening. After some minutes, the operation was over and the doctor came out. I quickly rushed to him.

“How was it? What will happen to her?” I asked him.

“Her condition is very critical. She’s between life and death. we tried our best but no other option than to fly her out of this country for better treatment. Her rate of survival is so thin. We have to do that quickly or we’ll lose her.” the doctor said looking at me.

“OK. That would be done soon. But please she must not die” I said looking at him.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV
My phone rang and I picked it. I saw Stephen’s number and I quickly picked it.

“Hello,” I said.

“Meet me at my place right now!” he said in a loud voice. He hung up the phone after she said that.

“I will be back. Stephen just called” I said looking at John.

He nodded his head in response and I left the hospital. When I got to his house, he opened the door and I walked in.

“Why did you…?” I’ve not finished the statement before he landed a thunderous slap on my face.

“Why are with Debbie today? I wanted to kill you back there but I thought of one thing. You’re an orphan! With that, I hesitated” he said looking at me. I went on my knees and started apologizing.

“Am so sorry. Debbie and I went to her house because I want to get something from her. Please believe me. I’ll never do anything that’ll hurt you” I said with my face down.

He moved closer to me while I already closed my eyes for him to do the worst. He patted my head gently.

”I know you can’t do anything to hurt me. I trust you ok. Please let my trust in you be there” he said looking at me.

I took a breath of relief when I heard that.
*************************************

John’s POV
Stella came out and was standing beside me.

“Debbie is going to be OK right?” she asked.

“Yes. She’ll definitely be alright” I replied looking at her.

“Why does Stephen keep hurting people around me. This is too much for me to bear. What should we do?” she asked looking at me.

“That guy is so evil. I regretted ever being his blood. I can’t take this pain any longer” I said looking at Stella.

I left her side and went out of the hospital. She followed me behind wondering what am up to. Because I left my car at Debbie’s house, I took a taxi and headed to Stephen’s place. When I got there, I paid the taxi man and headed towards his building.

I pressed on the bell and the door was opened by Stephen. The look on his face was like, why-are-you-here?

“Hy Bro. Why are you here? I was so surprised to see you here for the first time” he said looking at me.

“Why did you do that to her?” I asked, looking at me.

“What are you talking about?” he asked acting innocent.

“Stop putting on a show. Why did you do that to the innocent Debbie?” I repeated looking at her.

“Why did you think it’s me? Do you have any evidence for that?” he asked smiling.

The smile makes me more irritated and angry. I could not hold in my anger any longer that I punched his face and that left a cut at the corner of his lips.

What's your take on this?

To be continued.

EPISODE 28

Stephen’s POV
When I finished receiving the call, I walked towards my room. I sat on the sofa looking around. I looked at some things in my room and noticed they were not as I left them. I stood up and started putting them back in place. I got to my drawer and saw it was not locked properly as I left it this morning. I checked the stuff I put there and found out they’ve been touched by someone.

“Who the hell tampered with my stuff?” I asked in anger.

Due to my anger, my body had started diffusing black flames and my fingernails had pointed sharp. I was so angry that if I should see the person right now, I would kill him/her whosoever it might be.

I closed the drawer and went to the door. I sniffed the handle of the door to perceive the smell. I noticed the person just left my room not long.

“That means he/she is still inside my building,g,” I thought to myself and opened the door.
*************************************

Debbie’s POV.
When I peeped through the door and saw that he went into his room, I tiptoed and walked out of the visitor's toilet. When I got to the living room, I heard his footsteps and I quickly hid behind the curtain.

He walked around the living room looking at every angle. I was so surprised to see him In that state. He’s of no different from a beast. His fingers were pointed and his body was releasing thick black flames. His eyeballs were black. He looks just like a monster. This got me more scared.

“God please save me from Stephen. Go,d please protect me. Guide me until I leave his house. Don’t let me die here by his hand” I prayed to God silently.

He went back towards his room. And I found my way out of his house. I went into my car and drove out of his compound. Just like a 3minutes drive, I saw John’s car coming. I called him but he was not picking up. I blocked him with my car and he stepped on the break. I quickly got out of my car and went to his car. He also opened the door and came out looking at me.

“What you sent to me, was that true? Could that be real?” he asked looking at me.

"And if it’s real, Where are you going to in this state? I didn’t send that to you so that you can fight him. He’s not someone you can handle. This is not the next step. Let’s get out of here now. I know by now, he would be looking for the person that broke into his room which was me. Let’s just go back. We’ll talk better than” I said looking at him.

He hit the body of his car looking hurt and angry. I went into my car and drove off. While he also turned and followed behind me.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
After I searched everywhere and could not find anyone, I then started laughing at myself. “Hahahahahaaa!!!”

I laughed for so long.

“Do you think you can get away from me? I’ll get you soon” I said and headed to the CCTV screen. I backward it to when the person first got in.

To my surprise, it was Debbie. I watched how she got into my room and how she was checking all the stuff one after the other. When she took the black napkin and saw who was in the picture, I stopped watching and headed out of the room.

“How dare you mess with me?” I said looking angry.

I went to my room and opened my drawer. I brought out the dagger smiling to myself.
*************************************

John’s POV
Debbie told me all that she saw in his room. I was so angry that I wish I had a gun and shoot him dead immediately but Debbie told me to calm down. Cassandra told us Stephen just called her and told her everything on how someone broke into her room.

“I will advise you to be careful. You’ll be his next target now because he knows you were the one” Sandra said looking at Debbie.

We were all shocked while Debbie was trembling in fear.

“What do we do? Let’s report him to the police.” Debbie said.

“You guys can't report Stephen to the police, it would just make everything worst for you guys. Stephen must be killed for his evil deeds to end. If you report him, he’ll find his way out of there because he had so many connections. You guys can’t understand what am saying. Stephen has to die! For him to die, the evil spirit must be cast out.” Cassandra said looking at us.

“What should I do? I can’t go home right now. My life is at stake” Debbie said looking scared.

“Can you stay with me at my place?” Cassandra asked her.

“Yes, I think that idea would be good. You have to stay with her for the main time.” I said agreeing to what she said.

“On thanks” Debbie replied.

“But I need to get something from my house first,” she said.

“What is it? Get whatever you want to get before it’s late” Sandra said looking at her.

I looked at Stella and nodded my head.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV
Just to keep her safe, I followed her to her house to get whatever she wants to get before leaving for my place. When we got to her building, she unlocked her door and went in while I followed behind her.
*************************************

Debbie’s POV
Now, I know the reason the old woman gave me the black sachet.
I got into my building and went towards my room. While Sandra waited in the living room watching the entrance and the compound. When I got to my door, I opened it and went in. I found out someone had gotten into my room because my stuff was thrown to the floor and everywhere looked messed up.

“What happened here?” I asked looking around. I think Stephen just left my house when he couldn’t find me. I quickly took my box and pack a few clothes then take the black sachet I got from the old woman.

I met her by the roadside begging for food. I gave her money and some snacks I bought from a store. She thanked me and when I was about driving on, she stopped me by hitting my car. She gave me a sachet. I asked what it was for and she smiled telling me I would need it later. She said it’s for destroying evil spirits and ghosts no matter how strong they are. Then, I wondered what I will have to do with evil spirits or ghosts. I received it and dropped it in my bag thanking her.

Now I know what she meant by that. I took the powder and dropped it in my box with the hope of giving it to John when we get back together.

I closed my box and was dragging it along with me. When I got to the door and was about opening it, I heard some footsteps behind me. I stopped and swallowed hard shaking in fear. I turned back slowly to see if someone was behind me. When I looked behind me, I could not see anyone. I faced the front slowly and to my greatest shock, I saw Stephen standing before me. The shock almost made me faint at the sight of him. He smiled looking at me.

“Go away from me now!” I yelled at him.

I took the black sachet from my box. My body was trembling seriously and the sachet fell down from me. He smiled looking at me. I tried to scream but he grabbed my neck and squeezed it.
*************************************

Sandra’s POV
I waited for long but could not see Debbie. Suddenly, I heard a loud voice from where she said to be her room. I quickly rushed towards there but was not able to find her room on time. Finally, I opened a door and what I saw shocked me. I found Debbie in her own pool of blood. Her face was destroyed with sharp finger marks. Her body was badly injured with sharp paw marks. Her blood streamed down like water. When I saw this, I couldn’t hold in the fear any longer so I fainted out of shock.

To be continued.

EPISODE 27
I quickly took my handbag and walked to the door. When I got to the door, I opened it gently but couldn’t find anyone at the door. I heard him talking to someone on the phone in the living room. I tiptoed and got out of his room closing the door gently. I walked towards the visitor's toilet to hide there till he’ll be out again or go to his room. I don’t want him to know I came to his house. That might put me in trouble also.

I stood in the visitor's toilet trembling and weeping. I thought of what I read In the book and that brings more tears to my face.

“Stephen why? Why did you guys do that?” I asked crying while covering my mouth with both hands to stop me from crying out.
*************************************

John’s POV
When I asked Cassandra who killed my mom, she was staring at me not replying.

“Your silence is killing me. Please just tell me already” I said looking at her.

“Your mom was murdered by…” she stopped and a message notification came into my phone.

I saw Debbie’s number and quickly unlocked my phone. I saw the pictures she sent and started reading the content out.

“April 18, 2015, I killed Stella because she saw what she was not supposed to see. I didn’t kill Jane (John’s mother) but her death was a mistake from my mother. My mum called Jane for a visit to her place just because she told her she has something to say to her. But that’s not the truth she called her for a reason. She threatened her to reject her father’s offer of wanting him to live with her. John’s mom was favored a lot by father and this got my mom jealous. Because of that, my mom’s hatred for her grew stronger. When she told her to reject the offer, Jane refused to hear her. Arguments arise between both of them. My mom slapped her and hit her multiple times. She defended herself also by retaliating the slap back to my mom. In anger, my mom hit and pushed her. This made her hit her head at the pillar behind her and passed away immediately.

My mom started trembling in fear and called me when she saw blood. She told me everything that happened between them and I told her not to worry about it. When I got there, I calmed her down. When I checked and found out Jane had stopped breathing, I took her to my car and told my mom not to mention this to anyone.

When I drove her to a bridge, I asked my mom to bring her car just to make the accident real. When she brought it, she took a taxi and went back home. I placed her body on the driver seat. Just as I was about to start the engine, she opened her eyes looking at me.

If I had taken her to the hospital, she would have survived but will report everything to the police and would put my mom and me in big trouble.

“You guys can’t do this to me,” she said in a weak voice. I ignored her and started the engine then removed the stone I placed on the brake pedal. The car moved by itself and hit the bridge then down into the river. I closed my eyes as this happened. I paced at the spot the car hit for a while then I looked behind me and noticed someone was hiding behind my car.

I opened the door quietly and brought out a sharp dagger with the aim of killing whosoever saw me. When I got there, I saw it was Stella. I was so surprised she was the one who saw all that I just did. It was so painful it was her and not another person. I never mean to hurt the girl I love but I can’t let her go. Because of my future and for my mom’s safety. Stella tried to run away from me but I caught her. She pleaded me to spare her but it was too late. I stabbed her with the dagger and threw her into the river also…That was how Stella and Jane died on the same day.
*************************************

When I finished reading this, my phone dropped from me in shock. I bent down on my kneel covering my face while tears dropped from my eyes.

“How could you guys do this to my poor mother? Why? How could you?” I said crying.

Cassandra and Stella came beside me and were comforting me.

“Take heart dear. It’s so painful but you have to take heart” Sandra said patting my back.

I stood up on my feet and faced Cassandra.

“I can’t take this anymore. That beast doesn’t worth living on earth and breathing the same air with we humans. I will destroy him myself today” I said and headed out.

Stella and Cassandra kept calling my name but the anger and revenge in me do not make me answer or go back to them.

Now that the death of John's mother and Stella has been revealed, and John has threatened to destroy Stephen...do you think it's possible to achieve?

To be continued.

EPISODE 26

Cassandra’s POV
As I was driving down towards the place, my phone rang and I took it.

“Hello, Sandra,” John said on the phone.

“Hello. Is anything the problem?” I asked.

“Please come back to my place. I just have one thing to ask you. I can’t say it on the phone. I need to ask you right now. Please we need to see” he said sounding desperate.

“I’ll come back to you later when am back. I need to get somewhere right now. I can’t see you until am back. I’ll be back by 5:pm, you just have to wait till then” I said.

“I can’t just keep this in mind till then. We need to see face to face on this issue. Can’t you even do that for me?” he asked.

“Am so sorry. The place is heading to is so important. Please pardon me” I replied and hung up.

I have not let them know about Stella. I still kept that a secret because of her safety. I continue driving but thought of what he wants to ask me, to make him this serious about it. I thought for a while wondering what's going on with him.

“Oh God! I already told them am on my way. Should I go back again?” I said feeling bad. I got to a junction and made a U-turn back heading to his place.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
When she got to a junction and made a U-turn heading back home, I thought of what she was doing.

“Why is this girl driving like this? Is she just driving and turning for fun? Was it because of the news I broke to her?” I thought to myself.

My phone rang and I took it. They called because of an urgent meeting. I told them am on my way and quickly turned the opposite way she took and headed to the meeting I was called for.
*************************************

John’s POV
I and Stella were in the living room. When Sandra told me she’s not coming, I kept pondering over the matter. A few minutes later, she had arrived. She walked towards us and I quickly met at before she could get to us.

“What’s so serious you want to ask that makes you call me back here?” she asked looking at me.

“Please you need to tell me the truth. We can’t keep things for each other anymore right?” I asked looking at her.

“Yes. I know that” she replied looking at me.

“Was Stephen the one behind my mom’s death?” I asked her straight.

She was silent for a while and that got me feeling more impatient.

“Answer me!” I shouted holding her shoulders.

“Stephen was not the one that really killed your mom” she replied looking at me.

“Then who? Who did it?”I asked waiting for her to talk.
*************************************

Debbie’s POV
Today is my friend memorial day. I dressed in a black outfit and was holding some flowers in my hand. I looked at her grave and saw many kinds of flowers. Seems like her family just left. I dropped mine on her grave also and did the normal ritual while kneeling on the ground. I stood up still looking down at her grave.

“We promised to fight for each other. We promised to die for each other right?. And now I promise to punish all who are behind your death and bring them all to shame” I said looking at the grave.

After I left her graveyard, I headed to Stephen’s house because he told me he’s home a while ago. And I also have a lot to ask him. And the reason why he didn’t attend Stella’s memorial when I got to his place, I parked my car at the garage and walked towards his building. I got to the door and unlocked it because I know his password. When I got in, I didn’t meet anyone inside. So I guess he would be inside his room. I tried opening his door but it was locked with a password. I guess he’s not home.

I thought to myself and was about leaving. When i got to the living room, I stopped and wondered why he even locked his room with password. Definitely, there’s something suspicious in his room. I went to the window to check the environment. When I saw no one was there, I went back to his door. I tried the pin he used for his main door but it was not working. So I tried another one still the same. I thought of what he would have used. Then I used Stella’s birth date. It unlocked and I was surprised he used her birthday for his password. I opened the door slowly and walked in. I looked around his room in amazement.

This would be my first time entering his room. His room looks strange. I saw some pictures on the wall. Some were cross in red ink. I moved closer to it. And saw Stella’s picture.

“My love Stella. Died on 18-5-2016.” this was written in red ink at the bottom of the picture. I ignored that and started checking everywhere maybe I would find any other suspicious stuff. I opened his drawer and checked but can’t find anything. I opened the second one and found something mysterious. Something wrapped in a black napkin. I loosed the napkin and brought out what was inside.

“What in the world is this?” I said trembling in fear. It was a sharp-pointed dagger and the picture of Stella destroyed with a shark object. I saw a small book under where I took the napkin and brought it out. I opened it and started reading. It looks Like a diary.

“I killed Elizabeth because she knows my true identity. I don’t mean to but she vowed to reveal it to the world.” the first page was written like that with the picture of a pretty girl.

“Stephen killed someone?” I said covering my mouth in shock. I opened the second page then the third page. I then thought If what am guessing about him killing Stella was right, I would see her here also. I started opening the cover from page to page until I got to Stella’s part.

My heart was beating very fast as if it would jump out of my chest. I can’t believe he really killed his ex-girlfriend Stella. When I read the whole content of it, tears were streaming down my cheek while my body was trembling in fear.

I brought out my phone and snapped it all. Then forward them to John. I packed everything and put them back in his drawer. Just as I stood up still shaking in fear, I heard the sound of the buttons as if someone is unlocking the door. My eyes were widely opened as I heard the voice of Stephen. I stood still trembling in fear.

What's your take on this?

To be continued.

EPISODE 25
“What do you mean by that?” he asked looking at me.

“I mean, you don’t care to know the reason behind your mom’s death. Do you think it’s natural? If you want to know from me then listen and if you choose not to, then go your way. Am only doing this because of my sister. I want to pay back for what I had done to her. If you chose not to believe me you can do it your own way” I said looking at him. I turned to leave but he stopped me.

“Give me a good reason for me to believe you’re not deceiving us,” he said.

“Because am Michael Cassandra. You’re not the only one he hurt, am also a victim” I said looking at him.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
When she said she’s Micheal Cassandra, I was so surprised. I had been wondering where I know the face because when I first set my eyes on her, I had this strange feeling.

I remembered when we were still together. How we played, laughed, and went to school together.

Then I remembered the day we were looking for her at a park we went to. We were shouting her name especially me. I had started crying while mom held my hand and we continue looking for her.

“Cassandra!” the name came out of my mouth while John looked back at me with an unknown expression.
He was not able to ask me anything because he thought he would look crazy to Cassandra who will think he’s talking to himself.
*************************************

Two days later……
Jenny had recovered but the wound was not fully healed yet. She was discharged from the hospital and was taken home by her mother.

John and I also went home after Jenny’s mum thanked him so much for his support.

We left the hospital and went home.

Cassandra had promised to work with us just to bring Stephen down. I told John about my memory and the fact that Cassandra is my sister. She knows about me but was not able to see me.

“Now we know that you mean no harm, we can trust you and depend on one another” John said looking at her.

“Yes,” She replied.

“So you mean you know who was behind my mum’ s death? Can you tell me? now, I can believe everything you say” John said.

She was silent for a while staring at John.

“Who’s it? Let me know now” he said looking impatient.

Just as Cassandra was about to talk, her phone rang and she took it.

“Hello?” “Alright,” that was all her response to the caller.

She took her bag and stood up.

“Sorry, that would be another day. Because it’s a long story. Stephen just called for me. I need to go now” she said looking at John.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
When Cassandra got to me, she was not looking that good. I suspect something is wrong.

“Why is your mood like this?” I asked her.

“It’s nothing. I just feel a bit sick” she replied.

“Will you go to the hospital? Is it much?” I asked.

“Why did you call me here?” she asked looking at me.

I noticed she had been acting strange and quiet these days. I wondered why she’s like that.

“Yes, I called for you. Sorry to tell you this, I had searched for your family which you asked me to do for you. But it’s so sad and heartbroken I found out they had all died in a motor accident. Only you survived the accident. So sorry to break down the sad news to you” I said looking at her.

I brought out some pictures and documents I asked Mathew to get and showed it to her. It was another family picture who all died three years ago In a serious motor accident. When I gave it to her, she nodded her head positively without saying a word or two.

She gave them back to me staring at me strangely.

“That’s so bad,” she said looking at me.

“Is that all you could say?” I asked her. She didn’t react to it or start crying or do as if it hurts her.

“That’s so painful but what can I do? They’re gone. So sad” she said covering her face with both hands.

I took a deep breath and my body was relieved.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV
I covered my face because I can’t stand to see the sight of that beast Stephen anymore. I cried a little at least for the family that lost their lives. And for him not to suspect me.

I left his place and was heading back. I thought of going to Stella in my Foster family’s place. Just to check on her health. And to visit them because it had been long. I got into my car and headed there.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
After she left, I thought of what she had been up to these days because she was acting strangely.

“Is she keeping anything from me?” I asked myself.

I took my car key and also headed out to find out about what she’s up to. I saw her car as she zoomed out of the compound. I also got into my car and followed her but let the distance between us be a little far so that she won’t notice am following her. She turned to the left at a junction. “Where on earth is this girl going to?” I asked myself and also turned left.

EPISODE 24

Cassandra’s POV
When I heard all these, my heart was hurt and heavy. I didn’t notice when tears started streaming down my face. I removed the iPod from my ear slowly feeling hurt and betrayed.

“You evil beast! I promise you’ll die by my hands on day. I will kill you myself.” I said crying out.

After some minutes, my body was a little calm and I had stopped crying.

“I promise to destroy all what you’ve worked for. I will show you what am capable of doing. Now, I don’t care if my life would be at risk. I’ll make you go on your kneel to those family you’ve offended or kill their child before you see your own grave.”I said looking angry.
*************************************

John’s POV
I and Stella went back to the hospital to visit Jenny. When we got to her ward, her mom was already there taking care of her.

“Good evening ma” I greeted her.

“Oh good evening My son. Thanks for the other time.” she said smiling.

“How’s she?” I asked looking at Jenny.

She turned her face to me smiling. She was not really looking at me I looked beside me and it was then I knew she was looking at Stella. Stella walked slowly to her bed and sat down beside her. Although Jenny’s mom could not see her. She thought Jenny was looking at me.

“Am sorry for making this happen” Stella said holding her hand. She nodded her head in response.

“Am happy you were not that badly hurt by him. I promise to fight for everyone. He would soon be brought down by me. Please you need to get well soon OK” she said. Jenny smiled nodding her head again.

Her mom was staring at her wondering what she was doing and who she was smiling at.

“Jenny is anything wrong again?” she asked her.

“Oh. Jenny are you now feeling OK? I had been so worried about you since yesterday. Hope everything is fine now?” I said cutting in to stop her mom from asking any further question.

She smiled nodding her head.

“Thank you sir. Am feeling better” she replied looking at me.

“Why are you calling your friend sir? Are you not friends?” her mom asked looking confused.

“My friend?” Jenny asked looking confused.

“He’s the vice president of A.N.E.L Entertainment company” she corrected her mum. Her mum looked at me then gasped in amazement covering her mouth with both hands.

“Really? Am so sorry sir. I didn’t know that’s who you are. Please forgive my manner” she said looking at me.

“No ma. It’s OK, you don’t need to be. Am OK with how you talk to me” I said smiling.

“So you came to visit my daughter personally after her performance yesterday? Wow I can’t believe this. Thanks for everything sir. Am so happy for your concern” she said smiling.

“Yes ma’am.” I said bowing a little.

After we left her ward, I got to the compound and was about opening my car. I saw Cassandra standing at the other side beside my car. I was surprised to see her here at the hospital. I think Stephen sent her here again. She didn’t notice I was there so I wanted to ignore her and go our way. I thought what if she’s up to something?

I locked the door slamming it. The sound made her looked at my direction. Stella was not aware of this. She was at the back of the seat expecting me to drive. But when I slammed the door shut, she also got out of the car wondering what happened. She appeared to my side and asked why we’re not going again.

“Why? Did you forget something?” she asked looking at me.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV
After waiting in the hospital compound for a while, I heard a loud sound beside me and I saw it was John. I walked slowly towards him still feeling strange of what I was about to do. When I got to him, I greeted him but he was not replying me.

“I have something to tell you” I said looking at him.

“What is it? What are you guys planning this time around? Does he tell you to come and kill her finally?” he asked looking angry.

I was so surprised he knew Stephen was the one behind it all. But why is he not reacting to it? So he also knew Stephen was trying to hurt Stella too? Does that mean he was aware that Stephen framed his mother’s death?” I thought to myself looking at him.

“Why? I think am not wrong? You actually came because of that?” he asked looking into my eyes.

“A… am not here because of that. I have something to tell you” I said looking at him.

“Your tricks won’t work on me anymore. I know if you open that mouth, all that will come out of there are nothing but lies. I don’t need to stand here with you wasting my time and energy. Please excuse me!” he said and turned to go.

“You’re still behaving childish. Aren’t you? I think you don’t wish to know who was behind your mother’s death?” I said looking at his back as he was leaving.

He stopped on hearing that. He then turned slowly to me like I just controlled him with a remote. He was staring at me straight in the eyes looking shocked and surprised.

To unlock the next episode, keep your comments rolling in.

EPISODE 23
I could see the anger all over her face. I moved to her side and placed my hand on her shoulder.

“It’s OK. I know we’ll get him soon but we need to be patient just as you told me. Jenny would be OK” I said to comfort her.

She faced me nodding her head.

“I understand but I can’t just stay back and watch as he hurt people close to me. He might even do more than this next time. Please we need to do something before it’s too late” she said almost crying.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV
I was in my room sitting on the bed with my body half covered with the blanket. I thought of all Stephen had done to me since the day we met till this present day.

Sometimes when he’s angry, he will be out of control and hit me multiple times. My body was full of scares I got from him. I regretted ever going to him at the first place. Staying with my parent and suffering from my mean Foster mother would have been even better than staying with the evil Stephen.

My friend Jane was murdered by Stephen because she wanted to quit and not work for him again. She was killed before my eyes. I was not able to defend her or do anything or else, we’ll both die together. Since she was gone, I suffered a lot from Stephen because when she was here, she always defend me and know her way to calm him down.

I have thought of killing him multiple times or stabbing him to death when he’s asleep but I will end up dying at the end if I do so.
I continue living in Stephen’s hell all this while. The only thing he does in return for me was providing all my needs.

Expensive house, big cars and many good things in life. And he also promised to find my family for me in return.

I just came back from my parents now. I asked everything about Suzy Mick from Elle and she told me how she got there. And the day she took her to his father in pool of blood. The way she was talking about her, my heart melted and I pitied her. I don’t think I can go against what my parents want. Since they are protecting her from harm, I have to do that also.
But what of Stephen?
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
When I left the scene, I quickly went home and changed into my normal dress. I noticed my wristwatch was gone. I then remembered when John held my hand and I jacked my hand off. it was then he removed it.

“Oh gosh! How can this happen?” I said hitting my fist to the wall.

I heard someone pressing on the bell outside and I walked to the door slowly. I looked at the CCTV screen by the door and saw it was Cassandra. I opened the door and she came in. We both walked back to the living room while I was still not feeling good. I sat down on the couch while she stood in front of me.

“You called for me” she said not looking at me.

“Yes I did. But let me leave that aside first. I was just coming from Jenny’s performance. I stabbed her because that girl was possessing her body. When I was about leaving the scene, John interfered trying to hold me. I was able to get away from his grip but my wristwatch was gone” he said looking at me.

“What an evil creature! So you’re now hurting innocent people again?” I thought to myself angrily but didn’t show it in my expression.

“So what do I need to do?” I asked him.

“Get the wristwatch back before dawn. You must get it from him at all cost. Your failure will mean punishment” he said looking at me.

By now, I got more angry but was not able to say anything than “OK. I will” I said.

“Good! You can leave now. I’ll tell you the other one later” he said smiling.

I walked slowly towards the door. When I got outside, I saw Mathew, one of his guy messenger heading in. He bowed his head to me before walking pass me. I turned back still looking at him. I wondered why he’s here out of the blue. He had not been around all these days I wonder what he had been doing for Stephen.

I must find that out today. I thought to myself and dipped my hand into my bag. I brought out a small chip (a bug which records every sound when planted on someone or in a room) I looked at it smiling. When he was about going in, I called his name. “Mathew!”

He stopped and looked back.

“Yes ma’am” he replied looking at me.

“Wow! I’ve seen you for long now. Hope everything is OK?” I asked smiling as I walked to him.

“Yes ma’am. Thanks for your concern” he said smiling.

I stretched my hand for a shake and he took it. I patted his back gently and used the chance to hide the small chip by his collar.

“Take care OK” I said smiling.

I released his hand and he left. I watched him till he got in and locked the door. I went into my car and brought out a device. I plugged it and plugged my iPod to it. I then put it on in a way it was covering my ears. I waited for their conversation.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV.
After Cassandra left, Mathew came in. He walked up to me and we greeted each other.

“So how far have you gone with what I sent you?” I asked him.

He was silent for a while before replying me.

“Am done with it but…” he stopped looking at me.

“But what? Let me know everything about it” I said.

He brought down the bag pack he was carrying and brought out some files and pictures. He dropped them on the table before me. I took them one after the other looking at them carefully.

“Why’s Cassandra with them? Why are they all together? I asked you to find Cassandra’s biological parents. What does this pictures mean?” I asked looking at him.

“That’s it. Cassandra was 15 when she got missing at a park. Her parents looked for her but she was not found. She was taken in by doctor Josh who also don’t know about her but took her in as his daughter. I really don’t know how she got to them but I know they were the one taking care of her till she later left them because of some issues. I heard she had a brain trauma. Some of her memories are gone. But She would recover them back some day. ”He said looking at me.

“I understand. So you mean these people in the picture are her family?” I asked looking at him.

“Yes. She’s Suzy Mick’s sister. This are their parent with them. They are truly siblings. So what should we do about this?” he asked looking at me.

I was dumbfounded for a while.

“What do you think we should do. There’s nothing to be done than to bury this down. She must not find out about this.” I said.

“You know she’ll be happy to see her real parent. That’s what she wanted most from you. That’s what kept her here around you. She’ll feel bad if you were not able to do that for her” Mathew said looking at me.

“I know. It’s not right to tell her she and Suzy Mick are siblings! Just assume you were in her shoe. How will you feel when you know am the murderer of your late sister?” I asked looking at him.

He took a heavy sighed not replying me.

“You must not bring anything up about her family from now on. If anyone know about this apart from me and you, then you’re gone also” I said looking at him.

What's your take on this episode?

To be continued.

EPISODE 22
When we got to the hospital, she was rushed into the operation room. Her mom wanted to follow them but was stopped by the doctor.

“She’ll be OK. Please relax” she said looking at her.

She quickly rushed in with other doctors and the door was closed. Her mom sat down on a chair for a while then stood up again and started moving about restlessly. She sat down again but felt uncomfortable. She stood up again looking worried and sad.

I walked up to where she was standing and helped her to the seat. She sat down looking at me.

“It’s OK ma. I know she’ll be fine. Please be calm” I said looking at her.

“Thank you. But who are you?” she asked.

“Am one of her friend,” I replied.

“Do you think she’ll be OK? She’s the only one for me. I can’t let anything bad happen to her. What should I do now?” she said in sorrow.

“It’s OK ma. She’ll be fine” I said to comfort her.

After some minutes, the surgery ended and the doctor came out to us. Jenny’s mom quickly went to her before she could get to us. I also stood up and went to her.

“How’s my daughter? What happened? Is she OK?” she asked looking impatient.

“She’s OK. Good thing the wound was not that deep. It doesn’t affect her internal organ which could have make it worst. She’ll be OK soon but needs more time to rest for now. I think you guys will come back later.” she said.

“Thank you so much doctor. Thanks for saving my only daughter. Thank you so much” she said crying again.

The doctor left us.

“She’s fine. You don’t need to bother anymore. She’ll recover soon” I said to her.

She wiped off the tears nodding her head.

“Thank you.” she said.

I saw Jenny coming our of the surgery room. She looks sad as she walks towards us. I guess she saw Jenny already.

“You can leave now. Thanks for your support.” she said looking at me.

Stella got to us looking sad

”Am sorry. Am so sorry I did that to your poor Jenny. Please forgive me. Am sorry for dragging her into this” she said crying.

She wanted to touch her shoulder but her hand could not touch her. The woman moved from her side and walked away slowly. I stared at her till she was gone. I looked back at Stella who was feeling guilty of the accident that happened to Jenny.

“It’s OK. It’s not your fault. It was my fault for not acting fast. I would have stopped this from happening if I had gotten to your side earlier than that. Don’t blame yourself OK” I said looking at her.

“Who did it?” she asked looking angry.

“Who the hell did that to her?” she asked moving her gazes to me.

“I brought out the wristwatch I took from the person and showed it to her.

“He did it. We must find the owner if this wristwatch. He’s the culprit” I said showing her the wristwatch.

She took it from me and looked at it closely.

“Stephen!” she said looking at me.

She diverted her eyes back to the watch looking more angry.

“That b—–d Stephen did it” she said looking at me.

I was surprised at how she knows he’s the one. It’s true those gaze I saw were familiar to that of Stephen but I wanted to confirm before jumping into conclusion. But now that she said it, am 100percent sure he’s truly the culprit. She tightening her fist on the wristwatch looking angry.

“I promise he won’t get away with it this time. I will make sure he regret hurting people dear to me. I’ll definitely make him regret everything he has done to me.” she said angrily.

To be continued.

EPISODE 21
I told him we need to be patient or he’ll do something more worst to innocent people. He agreed with me but promised to reveal everything when he find a good evidence.
*************************************

I went to Jenny’s performance because I had promised to help her on that day. I stood by the entrance looking among the crowd because people were too much. I looked around for her but couldn’t find her.
*************************************

Jenny’s POV
After waiting some minutes, Stella never showed up. I now became scared and nervous. My mom was sitting at the first row looking at me. She was smiling nodding her head saying it’s OK. We were the second to the last group to perform. When it got to our turn, we were called out on stage. I looked around again and couldn’t find her.

“Stella where are you?” I thought to myself.

The sound was turned on and still she didn’t show up. We were about performing when she showed up from a corner.

Immediately I saw her, I smiled to myself feeling happy. She walked slowly to me smiling. When she got to my front, I closed my eyes and that’s all I could remember.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
I moved into her body and possessed her. The dance began and we started dancing. As we were dancing my memory flashed back to how Stephen and I met.

After my performance, Debbie introduced him to me as her friend when she was in school. We exchanged greetings and I fell in love with him at first sight because then he was so cool and nice. He looks harmless by his personality and appearance. Later when we met again, we exchanged contacts and start getting closer. That was how it happens. As I was remembering those memories, I was not focusing on the dance anymore. I could see people reactions. I took a deep breath and tried to meet up with others. I was able to do my best but one side of me was not happy.

After we finished the performance, the judges have us the second place. The girls were so happy but I was not. Jenny’s mom was happy also.

“Good job dear. You really impressed me” She hugged me smiling.

“If this could continue, I know you would be able to do better than this”she said.

“Don’t worry. I promise to do better from now on.

”I said smiling.

“Jenny, I hope I kept my promise to you now.” I thought to myself.
*************************************

John’s POV
When she told me she’s going to Jenny’s performance, after some minutes of staying at home, I left to the place to see her performance. After the performance, I saw a woman hugging her. I think that’s Jenny’s mom. I smiled looking at them from where I stood. When she saw me, she told the woman something and came towards me. I waited for her to get to me while she also smiles walking towards me. I looked behind her and noticed someone was following her.

The person put on black outfit all through. And had a black faze cap on which was covering his face. He walked behind her looking around at people. I guess he’s up to something. Stella didn’t notice this. She kept smiling looking at me. The guy dipped his hand into the inner of his jacket and brought out something. I was not able to see it clearly because the place was a bit dark and crowdy. He moved closer to her and it was then I know he’s trying to do something bad. I saw a sharp object and when he was about hurting her, I shouted her name but it was too late.

”Stella watch out!” I said rushing towards her.

Because we were a bit far from each other, before I could get to him, he had stabbed her with the object he was holding. As he tried to turn and flee, I got there and held his hand. He jacked off his hand from me and disappeared into the thin air. But I was able to remove the wrist watch he was putting on.

People had gathered around the scene wondering what just happened. Stella went down slowly closing her eyes. I quickly moved to her side and she fainted in my arms.

“Stella wake up please! Stella!” I shouted her name shaking her body.

I touched her side and saw blood on my hand.

I kept shouting her name as people around us also attended to her. I heard a loud scream behind me which was Jenny’s mom. She sat beside her and started crying calling for help.

“Jenny! What happened to my daughter? Please tell me what just happened to her. She was fine a while ago. How come she’s like this!” she said crying.

I was not able to say anything to her because I was also heartbroken. Someone called an ambulance and it arrive in no time. Her body was taken on a stretcher and was driven towards the ambulance. I followed them as the took her on the stretcher. Her mom was weeping seriously holding the stretcher and following them behind. When she was taken in, I looked back and saw Stella behind me.

I was surprised to see her there. She stood still on a spot looking at us. I could see tears on her face as she stared at Jenny’s body being taken in the ambulance. She was not able to move closer or say a word. I looked at Jenny who was unconscious and looked at her mother who was crying seriously because of her daughter state. Her mom got into the ambulance as they took her in. I also wanted to get in but looked back at Stella again. I then quickly got in and the door was closed.

To be continued.

EPISODE 20
I kept weeping without saying a word.

“Why are you crying? Is it that bad?” he asked looking at me.

I cried more looking at him. I tried to speak but can’t say anything but cry. He drew me closer to his body hugging me. He patted my back lightly to comfort me.

“It’s OK. Everything is OK. If it’s that hard to say now, I’ll listen to it later. Sorry for everything that happened to you.” he said patting my back.

Few minutes later, my body became calm and I was able to talk. I narrated everything to him.
*************************************

Flash back…
That night, I got a call from Stephen saying we should hook up at our usual place. When I got to the restaurant he mentioned, I didn’t see him there. I called his line, it was switched off. So, I left the restaurant and was heading to his house to check on him because he told me he’s just leaving home when we last spoke on phone.

I was in my car driving and kept dialing his number maybe he would pick up but he wasn’t. I dropped my phone and concentrated on the road. When I almost got to his house like 5minutes drive to go. I got to a bridge and saw his car parked at one side of the road.

Cars are not really moving on the road because it’s late. so it was silent and that area was dark. Immediately I saw his car, I pulled over to one side and got down from my car. Because of the cold outside, I took my jacket from the second seat and put it on. I walked slowly towards his car wondering what he’s doing by the road. I even thought he had an accident because accidents do happen on that bridge frequently.

I walked towards the car peeping through the wind screen. When I got to the car, I saw another car before his car. A blue Toyota Camry.

I peeped through his car and saw him carrying a lady out from there. I never saw her before. The lady was unconscious. He took her into the second car.

“Is she dead?” I asked myself covering my mouth in shock. When he took her to the driver’s seat, he shut the door and looked around the area. I quickly dodged my head behind the car to avoid him seeing me.

“What is he trying to do? Who’s the lady? Is she dead?” I asked myself looking scared. I heard the sound of the car and suddenly, I heard some glass scratch. I quickly looked at the direction of the car and saw as the car fell from the bridge down into the river. I tried to scream but covered my mouth in shock.

He just committed murder and framed the accident. What should I do? I started trembling in fear. I wanted to sneak back to where I left my car before he would see me. My phone started ringing. I quickly removed it from my pocket trying to silent it but my hand was trembling seriously. I heard some foot steps coming towards where I was hiding. At last I was able to silent it. I stood up and tried to leave but Stephen popped out to my front. When I saw him,my phone dropped from me in shock. My body started trembling in fear. He moved closer to me while I also moved backward.

“What the f–k are you doing here? Why are you here?” he asked looking at me.

His eyeball changed immediately. His body started diffusing black flames.

“Please spare me. I promise I won’t tell anyone about it” I pleaded crying seriously.

He moved closer looking at me while I also moved backward.

“It’s too late dear. You’re not suppose to see this. Am sorry it’s too late” he said looking at me.

I started running just to get away from him. When I got to the end of the bridge, I looked back and couldn’t see him again. I stopped to catch my breath. I looked up and saw his figure before me. I was so shocked to see that.

“Dear. You can’t run away from me.” he said smiling.

I blocked my two ears with both hands and started screaming for help.

“Stop that you’re too loud. if you do that till tomorrow morning, no one will be able to hear you” he said.

I started crying and pleading him to spare me.

“Please I promise no one will know about it. Spear me please” I said begging him.

He moved closer to me I was not able to move any further because the I have reached the end of the bridge. I looked behind me and saw water. I held the iron tightly looking at Stephen who has turned to a complete monster. I never knew this is the kind of person he is. I now know people shouldn’t be judge by their looks.

“Am sorry dear. It’s too late. I have to do this. Goodbye my love” he said and I felt a sharp object pierced into my tummy.

“Ahhhh!” I screamed holding his hand.

I looked down at my tummy and saw blood dripping down from there.

He withdrew the dagger from my tummy. I fell from the bridge and down into the water. As I sank down in the river, my eyes were still opened but I can’t breath. The water found it’s way into my nostril, mouth and ears. I tried to swim to the surface but my body was too weak to do that.

What I remembered next was that I opened my eyes and saw a girl pressing down my chest. Her body was wet and the water in her hair was dripping down on my face as she continue shouting my name and shaking my body. She took off my bloody jacket and threw it down beside her.

“Please save me!” I said in a low tone as my eyes were shutting back slowly.

“Are you OK? Hang on. I’ll save you. Just some minutes” she said reaching for her phone. My eyes shut and that’s all I could remember.
*************************************************

After telling John about this, he was looking at me in pity. He didn’t say anything. He got up from the couch and took his car key trying to head out. I stopped him by holding his hand.

“Where are you going to?” I asked him.

“To Stephen. I can’t take all these you just said. He must be punished for what he did to you. I promise he wouldn’t get away with it” he said looking at me.

“And what do you plan to do? Fight with him, report him to the police? Or what do you plan to do to him when you get there?” I asked looking at him.

“Yes. I would report him to the police. He must pay for his offense. He have to pay for it” he said trying to leave again.

“And what will you report to the police? What evidence do you have? Do you plan to report that the ghost of the late Suzy Mick told you about what he did? How does that even make sense to you?” I said looking at him.

He wiped down his face in confusion and sat back on the couch.

“For us to get him, a good evidence must be provided to the police. I know a spirit is controlling his soul. We need to be careful if you also don’t want to end in trouble” I said looking at him.

EPISODE 19
I quickly woke up from my sleep-breathing heavily.

“That was a scary dream,” I said wiping some sweats off my face. I looked around but found no one in the living room. I took my phone to check the time. It’s almost 10pm. I took my hand bag from the couch and headed to mom’s room.

They were all there. I told them am leaving for home because I have something to do there. I said goodbye to them and promised to visit them often from now on.

Elle escorted me to the gate before going back inside. I got into my car and drove down the street. When I got to the bridge, I thought of the dream I had.

My phone rang and I checked the caller. It was Stephen. I refused to pick the call so I silent my phone. After driving for a while, I saw the same truck I saw in my dream coming from the same direction. It speed pass my car while I also drove normally without any problem. I wondered if I had picked Stephen’s call the accident would had happen because I would be distracted. I sighed and continue driving focusing more attention on the road.

When I got home, Stephen called my line again. This time I picked the call to hear what he have to say. He asked if I had taken care of my neck and I told him I had. I didn’t tell him about what I saw. I kept it to myself as father instructed.
*************************************

John’s POV
I woke up very late and the first thing that came to my mind was Stella. My body feel so weak with her thought on my mind. Good thing it’s Saturday I don’t go to work on weekend. I stood up from my bed and headed to the living room to get some water. When I got there, I looked around with the hope I could see her pop out to me or see her hanging around somewhere but all was hopeless.

I moved to the fridge and took water from there. I sat on the dinning chair feeling weak. It has been long I had this weak feeling. That was when my mom died. I looked up and saw Stella standing before me. She was putting on the same outfit she wore three years ago.

“Dont think too much its bad for your heart. You need to eat early for you to be healthy” she said smiling at me.

I stood up from the chair smiling.

“Stella! Is that really you?” I asked looking at her.

I tried to touch her but she vanished into the thin air. My hand froze in the air. I brought it down gently looking sad again. I then sat back on the chair burying my face in my palms.

I felt a hand tapping my shoulder lightly. I looked up and saw Stella again.

“Why are you so deep in thought? Are you like this because of me? Do you miss me already?” she asked looking at me.

“I think am now seeing things now.” I said ignoring her.

“What?” she said looking at me. She moved closer and pinched my cheek.

“Ouch!”I said touching my cheek. It was then I knew she’s for real.

“Stella? You’re back! Oh my God I can’t believe this” I said looking at her.

I drew her close to my body and hugged her smiling to myself.

“You’ve been acting strange since yesterday. You’re hugging me again?” she said.

I quickly withdrew her from my body.

“I hugged you because I missed you. Don’t count that as anything” I said looking at her.

She nodded her head looking back at me.

“Really? And you did that yesterday also because you’ll miss me?” she asked nodding her head.

“Yes. I did” I replied looking at her.

She folded her arms together looking at me.

“And if I remember, you said something about love and you were regretting about lot of things yesterday. Were you really referring to me?” she asked looking at me.

"Oh my God! How should I explain myself? I thought she would forget about that already” I thought to myself staring at her.

“Are you sure you heard that? I didn’t say anything about those you’re talking about. I think you were just hearing things since you were in bad condition that moment I think that’s why” I replied smiling.

“Really? Am sure I heard that” she said.

“I never said that. Anyway good to see you again” I said smiling.

“Me too. I don’t really know what happened yesterday. I never felt like that before it was this morning I found myself roaming about again so I came to you” she said.

“We don’t have time right now. I think God gave me the second chance to find the truth that was why he sent me back.” she said staring at me.

“Let’s go to Debbie am sure there would be a clue from her” I said.
*************************************

Stephen’s POV
I sat on my bed holding the picture of Stella. On the pictures it was written RIP in a red ink. I smiled to myself nodding my head in satisfaction.

“You shouldn’t have seen what you saw. I wish I could rewind the time back to the past. I would have stopped you from coming. But nothing can be done about that. You caused the whole drama to yourself.” I said staring at it.

I opened my drawer and brought out the dagger I used on her the day I killed her. I kept the dagger for the past three years.

“I have to destroy your spirit. If I don’t, you might end up telling the girl and John about what you saw and I might end up killing both of them the way I did to you” I said looking at the dagger.

I hit the dagger on her picture I placed on the shelf. it pierced through it and stood straight.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
As John went in to pick his car key, my body started acting strange. My head feel like it’s spinning. Everything that happened that night of the incident three years ago, came back in a flash. I remembered everything from beginning to the end.

I looked around wondering what just happened. John came back holding his car key.

“Let’s go to her now” he said coming towards me.

“I remember. I remembered everything that happen that night.” I said with tears rolling down my cheek.

His eyes were wide opened on hearing that.

“Really? What happened? Who did it? Why?” he asked looking at me.

To be continued.

EPISODE 16
Cassandra managed to stand up.

“I need to go home” she said not looking at me.

I moved closer to her and lifted her chin up gently with my hand.

“Don’t be mad at me. That was a mistake. You know I love you huh” I said looking at her. She nodded her head and moved her face from my hand.

“I know. So please can I go and treat myself at home? My neck is burning” she said.

She picked up her hand bag from the ground and left before I could say anything. I watched her leave until she got into her car and zoomed out. I wiped my face down in frustration.

“John. You’re stepping on my toes. If you’re the one to take what are meant for me, I’ll rather clear you out of my way finally” I thought to myself.
*************************************

John’s POV
Debbie and I sat opposite to each other at the bar. I ordered for some refreshments and BBQ. After eating, we talk about lot of things. It was then I remembered what Stella told me about her so I asked her some questions.

“I want to ask If you know anyone named Stella.”

I said looking at her. She was quiet for a while before replying me.

“Stella? I have lot of friends named Stella so I don’t know which one you’re asking of” she replied.

“Oh really? OK what of Suzy Mick?” I asked. She looked at me strangely on hearing that.

“Why are you asking these questions?” she asked looking at me.

“Because am her fan. I heard you guys were so close when she was alive.” I said.

She sighed "yes we were. Her name is Michael Stella and her stage name is Suzy Mick. It’s true she’s a close friend of mine. So bad death took her away so early.” She said looking sad.

“Sorry for reminding you of the painful memory. She was also my female idol. Apart from that, she’s a friend of mine too. Her death was so painful. Since you’re her best friend, you might know a lot about her” I said.

“Yes I do. But why are you so interested about her?” she asked looking at me.

“Like I said earlier, she was my friend also. But her death was strange to me. Don’t you want to know the reason behind her death?” I asked looking at her.

“Since we’re on the same boat, let’s work together and reveal the mystery behind her death” I added.

“Good to hear that. Am doing it already. I know the person that kill her but the game is not easy to play with that kind of person” she said.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
It’s 7:00pm, Jenny had packed her stuffs and ready to go home, we both left the company walking beside each other. I already told her about everything that happened right from when I possessed her body till this present day. She was so surprised after I told her everything.

“I never knew that could be possible. I thought it won’t work but it does.” she said looking at me.

“Me too. After I did it, I tried going out but It does not work out. Am so sorry for that”I said.

“You don’t need to be. You just helped me not offend me. I was surprised when those mean girls were praising me. I will be happy if that continues” she said smiling.

“That’s so good but that can’t go forever. The best thing is to work for yourself.” I said looking at her.

“Hmm. That’s true but I just want to impress everyone with my performance. I want to impress my mom especially.” she said.

“OK. We’ll find a perfect solution to that” I said.

“Thanks.” she replied looking at me.

When we got to the compound, I saw the guy from the other day. He was heading back to the company. When he got to us, he stopped looking at Jenny. I think he can’t see me. Jenny’s expression changed after he stared at us for a while, he said hy. And walked pass us. When he left, Jenny turned back still staring at him. I tapped her shoulder and she turned back to me.

“Why are you like this? What’s wrong?” I asked her.

She took a step forward then started walking slowly ahead of me. I walked up to her and we continue walking towards the gate.

“Why are you acting strange? Why that expression all of a sudden?”

"That guy… that guy is strange” she said looking at me.

“Why do you say that?” I asked looking confused.

“I could see an evil spirit inside him. That guy is not an ordinary human being. And again his… his thought said…” she stopped when we heard some foot steps behind us.

We both turned back gently to see the person. To my surprise, it was the guy. Jenny moved closer to me I could see she’s trembling in fear as he got closer.

EPISODE 18

John’s POV
I stood up from my bed and moved closer to the drawer. I opened it and brought out the wristchain I had three years ago.

“I missed you so much. Am so sorry for not recognizing earlier. Anyway am happy you’re still around me. I promise to reveal every single secret behind you and my mum’s death. That’s the only thing I can do for you now for your soul to rest in perfect peace.”

I said looking at the wristchain. I stared at it for a while before closing the box and keeping it back in my drawer. I stood up and headed out of my room to see if she’s still in the living room. I feel like seeing her face again to compare to how she looks three years ago.

When I got to the living room, I saw her still standing where I left her.

“Why are you still standing there?" I asked her.

She turned to me smiling.

“Am having some sleep” she replied.

“Seriously? Do you sleep?” I asked looking at her.

“I was only kidding. I just feel like standing here. I will soon go back to Jenny now” she said smiling.

That smile reminds me of when we first met. She smiled the same way while apologizing to me.

“OK. Why don’t you stay here a little longer” I said looking at her.

I feel like seeing her for a long time before going back to bed.

“I have something to do with Jenny” she replied.

“Oh. OK” I said looking at her.

“Anyway why are you out of your room again? It’s late. Do you wish to see my face more before going to bed?” she asked jokingly.

I was surprised she said that. What? Is she reading my mind? I thought to myself.

I cleared my throat looking at her.

"What’s on your face? I just came to take some water” I said heading toward the center table.

I heard her laughing behind me so I turned to her wondering why she laughing.

“Is that the way to the fridge? That shows you just lied about that because your mind was not there” she said looking at me.

I felt so embarrassed of myself. I quickly turned back and went to the fridge. I opened the it dodging my face behind the door in embarrassment.

“She’s so smarter than I think” I said and took a bottled water from the freezer. I closed the door and twisted the cover of the bottle to open the lid. I was about taking the bottle to my mouth when I saw something strange. I looked at Stella and saw her body was becoming translucent and fading off into the air. The bottle dropped from my hand and I quickly went to her.

“What’s happening to you? Why is your body like this?” I asked holding her shoulders.

I could still feel her body but it felt different.

“I don’t know. Please what’s happening? I think my time is up on Earth. I don’t want to leave now. I still have a lot to do. I can’t leave now” she said crying.

I was so sad and confused. I thought of how my mum vanished from this Earth and I never saw her again. I got scared the same thing is about to happen to Stella. I still have a lot to tell her. I still have a lot to do with her. She can’t leave now but I can’t do anything about that. I looked at her and she’s becoming more translucent.

“I think it can't be changed. Goodbye John. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me. It’s time to go now” she said still crying.

I hugged her tight almost crying.

“Am sorry. Am sorry for everything right from when we met till now. Am sorry for not recognizing you earlier. Please forgive me. I can’t let you go this time also without saying my heart to you. I think I’ll regret that for the rest of my life. Stella. Am using this moment to tell you I love you. No one can fill your space in my heart. I wish to say this three years ago but you were gone. you might be gone now but I promise you to reveal the mystery behind your death. With that, I can feel at peace.” I said.

I don’t know when tears rolled down my cheek. The hug became lose as her body faded more.

“Goodbye my first love!” I said before her body faded out finally. My arms were in the air the same position I hugged her. I dropped my hand by my side loosely.

“Why do you have to go now? Why do I recognize you so late? Why do I pushed you away the first time we met?” I said and wiped off the tears on my face. I regretted so many thing I did wrong to her. I leaned my back to the wall slowly feeling hurt and sad.
*************************************************

Cassandra’s POV
Dad injected a shot in her arm and that calmed her. Elle also had this worried look on her face. Dad took a deep breath and placed both hands on his waist looking at her.

“What happened? Dad what’s wrong with her?” Elle asked looking at her dad.

He sighed. “She got an arrest. Her condition is getting better but I can’t tell when she’ll be able to open her eyes.” he said looking at Elle.

She moved closer to her bed and stroked her hair gently.

“Please you need to get better and come back to us your fans huh” she said looking at her face.

Dad looked at me who was still surprised by what I just saw.

“She’s my secret patient. She had been in coma for the past three years. For the past three years her body just acted this way today. You must not tell anyone about who you saw here. No one must know about her.” Dad said looking at me.

I nodded my head in response. I looked at Elle and she also nodded to her head in agreement to what dad said.
*************************************************

It’s 9pm and I already said my fare well to them. I told them I’ll visit them often from now on. After I left there house, I was driving back home but the thought of that girl kept disturbing me.

If I should keep this to myself and Stephen later find out, my life could be in danger and if I reveal it to him, he’ll definitely kill her again before she wake up from coma.

What should I do? I don’t want to betray my parent and I don’t want to face Stephen’s rage.

“Dad, Elle. Am sorry to you guys. I have to do this just to save my own life” I said and brought out my cell phone to call Stephen and tell him about the whole drama.

I was dialing his number but didn’t notice an upcoming truck coming from the other side. It was on high speed. I tried stepping on the break pedal but it refuses to work. The truck got to me and hit my car. My car tumbled twice hitting the rocks by the cliff. The glasses broke as it landed on the rocks. I could not feel my body again as my eyes shut slowly. It continues hitting the rocks like that before falling down into the deep river.

What's your take on this?

Keep the comments rolling in.

EPISODE 17
He got to us and stopped looking at Jenny. He stretched out a hairpin to Jenny.

“This dropped from you” he said looking at her.

Jenny touched her hair but couldn’t find it.

“Thanks” she said and received the pin from him. He nodded his head smiling.

He left us while Jenny still looks uncomfortable and scared. When he left, I asked her if what she said was true.

“Do you mean that guy is an evil spirit?” I asked looking surprised.

“That means he can see me too.” I added looking at her.

“Yes he does. He definitely saw you” Jenny replied.

“I knew from the first day I saw him. His looks were weird and strange.” I said.

“He’s a dangerous type. Do you know him specially from anywhere?” she asked me.

“No. I don’t remember seeing him when I was still a human” I replied.

“His thought interpretes that He’s someone who knows you better than anyone. He’s someone who knows every secret about your death.” Jenny said looking at me.

I was so surprised to hear that. I never knew of all what she just said. I had no idea of who the guy is to me.
*************************************

John’s POV
After Debbie and I talked for long, and the time is almost 9pm. We left the bar for my car. After dropping her home, I drove back home still thinking about what she meant by “the game is not easy to play with that kind of person.”

I asked her about it but she refuses to reveal the person to me. When I got home, I parked my car in the compound and walked towards the door. I opened it and went inside. I saw Stella sitting on the chair in the living room. I was surprised she has turned back to ghost girl. When I got to her she stood up.
*************************************

Stella’s POV
When I saw john, I stood up from the couch looking at him.

“You’re here already” he said looking at me.

“Yes. I have something to tell you” I said.

“What’s that? Am also just coming from Debbie” he said.

“Jenny told me about your brother. The girl can read thoughts. We met him today while I was escorting Jenny home. Can your brother see ghosts?”

I asked looking at him. He looks surprised by the question. I guess he doesn’t know about that.

“What do you mean? Because I can see you that doesn’t mean my brother and sisters can also see ghosts” he replied looking at me strangely.

I told him everything Jenny told me about Stephen. He found it so hard to believe. I wondered why he can’t believe me.

“That’s unbelievable! Stephen can’t be. He might be bad, mean or wicked but he can never be that evil.” he said looking at me.
*************************************

John’s POV
When she told me the whole thing Jenny told her about Stephen, I found it so hard to believe. It was then I remembered what Debbie told me at the bar. Could the person be Stephen? If Stephen did that to her what’s his purpose and what does he gain from hurting an innocent person like her. I thought to myself still staring at Stella.

“We’ll talk tomorrow. Let me gather myself together first before I can say anything” I said and headed to my room.

When I got to my room, I sat on the bed thinking about the whole thing over and over again.

“Stephen was possessed? But when? How?”

I asked myself lot of questions I was not able to give answers to.
*************************************

Cassandra’s POV.
When I was driving home, I got a call from my sister saying mom is so sick and requesting to see me.

I don’t visit home for the past four years. Because I was an adopted child, I was treated badly by mommy. She always went against anything I do in the house. She threatened me to the extend that I ran away from home. When I ran away from their house, a car almost knock me down while I was walking around an unknown street. The driver turns out to be Stephen. He got down from his car to check if I had any injury. He asked where I was going to that late at night. I told him I was heading to nowhere. He asked me what the problem was and I told him everything about how my foster mother treated me. I told him I can’t go back to the house because I don’t want to be treated bad anymore. It was then he accepted me and I started working for him.

Till now I never visit them or want to know how they’ve been living. When their only daughter Elle called me, she used another line to call me because I’ve been rejecting their calls all these years. When she told me about her mother’s health and her request to see me, I first hesitated but I thought I might be a bad person if I didn’t visit them. I thought of days she took care of me as her child and also thought of Elle and fathers good treatments towards me. Because of that, I made up my mind to visit them.

I made a U-turn and drove to their place. When I got there, everywhere has really changed a lot. The houses and the environment has changed. Maybe because I’ve been there for long. I packed my car in front of their building and got down locking it with the remote. I walked slowly towards the building. When I got to the entrance, I took a deep breath before pressing the door bell. In few seconds, the door was opened by Elle. Immediately she saw me, she hugged me so tight with tears on her face.

“I’ve missed you. Am sorry for everything mother did to you. Please forgive us” she said sobbing.

I patted her back gently and withdrew her from the hug. She and father were the only one that took me as real family so they never offended me. Her face has not changed from how I left her. I smiled nodding my head.

“Am also sorry for leaving you guys like that. I hope you forgive me also.” I said looking at her.

We both went inside to see mother. When we got to her room, she was lying on the bed. Tears dropped from her face when she sighted me. I stood before her looking at her face.

“Please forgive me Sandra. Am sorry for everything. I called you here just because I want to apologise properly. Please forgive me my daughter.” she said weeping.

I moved closer to her bed and hold her hand.

“I understand you mommy. Am also sorry for leaving you guys. I regretted leaving the house because I realized everything became more worst for me not better” I said looking at her.

“Elle. Is your dad home yet?” she asked my sister.

“Let me check him in his room” she said and headed out.

“Thanks for coming. I had a slight fever. I was just discharged from your dad’s hospital today. Your dad was giving me medications at home because I refused to stay at the hospital.” she said looking at me.

“OK ma. How’s your health right now? Hope you’re getting better?” I asked.

“Yes. Thank God” she replied smiling. The door opened and dad came in. I stood up and greeted him.

“Cassandra! Is that really you?” he asked looking at me.

“Am so sorry sir. Sorry for making you guys worry. I think you should understand why I did that” I said.

He walked up to me and hugged me. “Am the one sorry for everything. Please forgive us” he said.

He released me and looked at mother.

“How’s your health dear?” he asked looking at her.

“Am fine since I saw my daughter” she replied smiling.

“Really? That’s so good”
he said smiling.

The door flung opened and we all looked at the door wondering what happened.

“She’s acting strange! Dad you need to check on her” Elle rushed in screaming.

Dad quickly rushed out with Elle. Mom even tried to stand up but dad told her not to worry.

I followed them out to where they’re going to. He opened a door and I followed him in. When we got inside, a lady breathing heavily while the bed was shaking seriously. She was on the bed with an oxygen mask covering her nose and mouth. She was on life supporting matching.

I wasn’t able to see her face clearly so I moved closer as dad attended to her. When I got to her, I can now see her face clearly. She was the girl that died three years ago.

“Suzy Mick!” I said looking at her. I covered my mouth with both hand staring at her confusingly.

Stephen told me she was his ex-girlfriend when she was alive. He told me how and reason he killed her three years ago. I was the only one he revealed the whole secret to because he trusted me. I was so surprised to see her here.

Why is she here? What relationship does she have with my Foster parents. I kept staring at her in shock.

To be continued.

EPISODE 16
Cassandra managed to stand up.

“I need to go home” she said not looking at me.

I moved closer to her and lifted her chin up gently with my hand.

“Don’t be mad at me. That was a mistake. You know I love you huh” I said looking at her. She nodded her head and moved her face from my hand.

“I know. So please can I go and treat myself at home? My neck is burning” she said.

She picked up her hand bag from the ground and left before I could say anything. I watched her leave until she got into her car and zoomed out. I wiped my face down in frustration.

“John. You’re stepping on my toes. If you’re the one to take what are meant for me, I’ll rather clear you out of my way finally” I thought to myself.
