The door flunged opened stopping the soldier from hitting further,
"Get out!" Angela ordered immediately,
while the soldier quickly rushed out,
"I'm very sorry, i would call the doctor to treat you, please don't be angry with me" she said rubing her palm on Richard's cheek,
Immediately she ran a call and not long after a man in a white cloak walked in with a first aid box,
"Just treat him well and nicely" she said and head out
After some minute, she came back with a tray containing a well cooked rice and stew,
"You have to eat, okay, and i would feed you myself" Angela said with a cool smile,
"Why are you doing all this?" Richard asked in a weak tone
"Its because i love you, please can't you see it in my eyes, i may look old to you but i'm not that old you may think i am, i am not married because i dont , but i think you would be fit for me as you are the only one my heart beats for, i can do anything you asked of me, no matter what even if it is releasing Cole, just if you can accept and marry me, please i have really need to settle down and you are the one i want to settle with" Angela said with a soothing tone,
"If it had been that my hands are not tied i could have disfigured that your ugly face with countless slaps, shameless woman" Richard blurted out staring at her with a digusting look,
"I'm ready to take all your insult but mind you, Cole and Sandra's life would never be spared, i would make sure i destroy their life, then would take you home whether you like it or not" Angela said with a mean tone
"Who is Sandra to you?" Richard asked
"Hmm...a step daughter,why do you ask?
"Because i love her, and want to spend the rest of my life with her, she is the only one i love, the one i cherished so much, the lady that had stolen my heart at....
"Shut up your stinking mouth... before i..." she barked gnashing her teeth in anger,
"Why are you angry?... you don't to, you are my in-law, so you should be happy i'm your half daughter"Richard said making her fume in anger
"I bet you, i will never live to see both of you go along with each other"Angela screamed furiously
"Then i think you should go and buy your casket, because nothing not even you can stop me from marrying Sandra, its better you take that into your empty skull" Richard blurted out bluntly"
"huh?...is that a challenge?" Angela sputtered,
"Call it any word you want to call it, i had said my own" Richard said rolling his eyes
" Woow, i really love challenge so much....lets see how it goes, i will not kill you because i love you and can't afford to lose you" Angela said with a smile before leaving,

"Why did you brought me here?" Sandra asked chief Daniel as they both settled down in her room..
"I don't understand the meaning of your question??...i brought you here for your safety"chief Daniel answered with an innocent face,
"What is your occupation?"Sandra asked, immediately Daniel's countenance changed into a frightened one, the question just caught him unexpectedly, that question was just the least of what he expected, he stared at Sandra trying to figure out the best answer to give her as a shudder ran through him,
He could not help but flinched,
"What do you mean?" he muttered as strip of sweat rolled down his face,
"What is there that you don't understand, this is a simple question that needs an answer, i said where do you acquire your income from??" Sandra asked again this time with a little bit high tone, her gaze was directly on Daniel's eyes making him doubt if lying would be the best option, his source of income was his greatest secret in life which even his family members knew nothing about,
His business was something so evil but he had do well in enclosing it by his charity work and smile,
So the question Sandra was asking him made him suspect she had knew something about him, seriously if this question had came from another sources he wouldn't waste a second in taking that person's life,
"I don't understand that your question....where are you even heading at or have the cook told you any gossip about me?" he asked with fear visibly written on his face,
Sandra held his palm softly and stared into his eyes, letting out a calm smile,
"Calm your nerve, trust me...i mean no harm to you afterall you saved my life so why shouldn't i reciprocate by keeping your little secret, feel free and tell me that your secret, i promise to keep it safe" she said with a soothing voice, which made Daniel breath down in relief,
"What do you want to know??" he asked
"Just how you got your money, thats all" Sandra said
"I don't know why i suddenly feel safe telling you this...but please dont let me down by letting another ear hear this"chief Daniel said quietly
"I promise to keep it safe" Sandra said smiling
"I'm into human trafficking,
since my teen age that had been my sources of income, i was introduced into it by a man called chief Gabriel,
we does the trafficking together, but later on i stopped it, and decided to change after the the one we did, which almost claim our life, our boys kidnapped two middle aged women, and set them for the trafficking but on our way unfortunately our vehicle got an accident and they escaped,
Due to anxiety and fear of the unknown i stopped the trafficking, but chief Gabriel could not put a stop to the business,
I tried convincing him but it all resulted to conflict which made us divided, He went his way while i went my own way,
i got married and bore two children a boy and a girl, i thought my problem was over but i was mistakened as one fateful day the cops came in search of me,
They took me to the jail as a prime suspect in the missing of the married couple,
i couldn't deny it as they had a strong evidence against me which was my phone which was found in their room..
But as my case was about entering into the court hand chief Gabriel saved me out of their hand by paying them a huge sum of money,
It was after he saved me that i began the business all over again, i had trafficked many people both men and women outside the state" chief Daniel concluded"So you still the trafficking till now?" Sandra asked,"Yes..that is my main sources of income...like you promise don't tell anyone, or else i would be forced to act badly on you" chief Gabriel said in a serious tone
"There is no problem....tell me about your family" Sandra said while Daniel stared at her with a suspicious look
"Tell me, i just want to know about you because i think i would be staying with you till further notice" Sandra explained
"Wooow, i would really love that...i guess my son would love to meet you also" he said happily..
"Hmmm, so can you tell me about them?" Sandra said with a wide smile
