THE SILENT KILLER

THE SILENT KILLER

CHAPTER 37

I wake up late in the night, in a room full of darkness. My stomach is rumbling due to hunger. I can feel some sharp hunger pangs cut through my belly.
I look around and can't trace anyone.

"Anyone here? I'm starving! I need  food and water!"
I shout at no one in particular.
No reply and I'm forced to sleep till daybreak. I've no means to communicate to Don and I'm sure he's worried sick about me.

        **************
"I'm asking you for the last time Donna, what have you given to Don to forget all about me?"
This is what the slut has been asking me ever since I regained consiousness.
Having confirmed that my pregnant is still intact, I ask her what she want from me.
"I want to kill you bitch! To kill you for taking away my man!"
" Don ain't a kid to be taken from someone. He's a grown up and he knows what's best for him!"
That alone earns me a slap. I'm sited on a couch, in a neat house which I assume is the bitch's house.
We are the only two of us and I assume the goons who helped her carry me are outside ensuring security.
"Does Don know that you are this crazy about him? Why can't you let him be? He's happy with me!"
"Happy, did I hear you say happy? Yes. He might be happy but Lemmie tell you it won't last for long!"
She says, giving me another slap which makes my head reel.
"Stop this already, Don won't be happy to hear that you are mistreating his pregnant wife! Let me go home and nothing will happen to you. Where is my phone anyway? I need to call him to inform him of my where abouts."
I know the phone is somewhere in the house because I saw one of the goods picking it up when my purse fell down in the mall.
The slaps she has been giving me are making me feel dizzy. I'm extremely hungry and she can't offer me even a glass of water.
"I'm gonna starve you to death bitch!"
"What will you gain by killing us?"
"You mean you and the bastard in of your belly? Don't worry, I will bury you and I look for Don to console him!"
" And I bet you'll earn yourself a golden handshake from him for taking his burdens away uh!?"
The sarcasm is evident.

" Stop the sarcasm bitch. He won't know that I killed you!"
The hunger I'm  experiencing is almost killing me. The nameless bitch is eating snacks in my presence to piss me off.
I literally beg her to let me have a bite but all she does is to scoff at me.
I say a silent prayer to God. If this is how I'm supposed to meet my maker, hungry as a church mouse, then He has to accept me whole heartedly.
She isn't in a hurry to kill need. She's taking her time.
After eating without giving me even a bite, she disappears into one of the rooms which I assume is the bedroom.
I just lie on the couch as I wait for my death.
The bitch doesn't show up and after about thirty minutes, I'm snoring on the couch, amid hunger pangs.

I'm woken up to a loud bang outside the house.
I'm so shaken such that I pee on myself.
I rise up to run towards the bedroom but I'm too weak to even stand from the couch. As I'm busy struggling to stand up, the bitch gets out of the bedroom carrying a kitchen knife.
At this moment the door is kicked and it flies open.
I'm beginning myself with happiness when I see Don and Drake and there more of his men, all brandishing pistols.
However, the joy is shortlived when the slut whom I came to learn later she's Dinah holds me by the throat and aims the knife at my belly.
I squeak in agony. I'm about to run mad.
"Stop right there or else I will split her belly open!"
Don signals his men to stay behind him as he orders Dinah to drop her knife.
"What has Donna done to you Dinah? Let her be and square it out with me!"
" Shut up Don! Shut up already! Any more words from your mouth and you'll have this woman's  bastard for dinner!"
Don looks defeated.
I try to say something but I can't because she's almost straggling me.
"Tell her it's me you love. Tell her it's me you want to marry. I should be the the one carrying this baby not her!"
She shouts.
" But... But...!"
I wonder why Don is scared of this bitch. Who's she anyway to scare Don that much?
The Don I know doesn't fear anyone.
"Why did you allow her to keep the pregnancy Don? Remember tight now I'm wombless because of you Don! You made me about every time I conceived but yiu allowed this slut carry her pregancy. Why Don!? Why?"

" Careful how you address my wife. Dinah. She's carrying my baby!"
This infuriates Donna and she lowers her knife, almost stabbing me. All of a sudden, I hear a deafening sound as Dinah's grip loosens and she slumps down in a thud.
I run towards Don who has just emptied his last bullet into her already broken skull.
Drake is the guy who fired the first shot which caught her by the forehead.
" What have you done Don? You shouldn't have killed her!"
"So we should have waited for her to kill you? Stop being naive Donna."
He drags me towards the
Door and call Drake over his shoulder,
" Clear the mess and leave no trace. You know what I mean!"
Drake nods as the other boys walk towards Dinah's corpse.
Outside the compound, an equal mess has been made.
Two men are lying lifeless one on top of the other.
The sight makes me throw up.
I'm really weak and Don shoves me on his shoulders as he carries me to the car.
Amid the weakness, I manage to tell Don that I'm hungry.
"Your lucky I found you. The idiots carried your phone and left it in their car not knowing that i had traced you!"
He calls Pam to prepare something for me as  he drives like a maniac towards the house.
" Don't worry dear, nobody will harm you as long as I'm alive.!"
The assurance is enough to make me smile. He leans towards me and I give him a kiss on the lips. I can't wait to reach home!
