DANIELLA

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

My mind went back to the day I was supposed to leave for home and the moments we had with Stevie ..

I remember how she had observed Travis and came to a conclusion that he loved me

Smith was always like that around me and I later found out he loved me..

Those were her exact words

I turned to look at the man and for the first time I realized that he was way younger than I had thought

"What's your name ?"

I just wanted to make sure that he was the Smith that Stevie was talking about

"My name is Smith .. why?"

Fuck Davis Martins!

How could he do that to his own daughter ?

My blood flowed in my veins with fury threatening to break free if not released very soon.

"You said he just uses his daughters, how many daughters does he have and  how does he use them ?" I asked trying to control my rapidly growing temper.

And from the fear in his eyes it was evident that he had seen how my mood had shifted drastically and he thought I was mad at him.

"He has two daughters.. Stevie and Elena. Elena hates Stevie and so Davis uses this as a shield when doing things to Stevie . For example whenever Elena asks him to do anything that upsets Stevie , he does it without a second thought and so masking his wrongs . Stevie believes his father loves her so much and that Elena is the one pushing him yo do all that he does when in reality Elena just helps him without knowing it herself . "

He paused to look at me before continuing
"Elena forced Stevie to do a lot of bad things at school and this has resulted to her being hated by almost everyone. The minions who walk with her are spies sent by her father . And now she just disappeared for three days without informing me. I've looked everywhere for her until her father told me that he has her locked away and any wrong move from me will result to her brains being blown out !" He finished inhaling deeply to prevent the tears that were threatening to fall.

I wondered what was wrong with the humans.... Everyone was doing something to protect someone else with or without their knowledge and the offenders laughed without a care in the world .

"Have you tried her phone ?"

" Severally but each time it's not going through. At first it went unanswered but then it's like it was switched off. I don't know what to think anymore . He was trying to marry her to Travis Scott by force !"

"Where is he now? Where is Davis Martins?" I asked slowly his name sounding foreign to my tongue

"He was in a meeting but I'm sure he is on his way here ."

"We need to leave.."
And without warning I opened his cubicle draining the water first before pulling him out

"We ? No. You need to leave. I am not putting Stevie's life in danger so please just leave me here. I'll find an explanation to this but you need to leave."

"Where are we to begin with ?"  I asked recalling that I didn't know where we were

"At the Martins factory . At the basement specifically , why?"

"Do you need to always question every question I ask you? Do you know your way around here ?"

"Sure ."

"Lead the way," I ordered

Be eyed me warily his thoughts probably conflicting
"Why does everyone like making me do what they want, I'm sick and tired of it !"  He whispered more to himself  but I managed to hear

"What did you just say ?"

He widened his eyes swallowing hard

"Nothing .. I said nothing ." He whispered again

"I thought so. Otherwise I was thinking of not giving you my surprise ."

I can see how his inner self is fighting before his shoulders dropped in resignation.

He led me through corners that I didn't bother mastering until we were out of the premises.

Suddenly his phone rang and on looking at the screen, it was none other than Davis

He looked at me waiting for an answer and I signalled him to pick it up and put it on loud speaker

The coldness in his voice is very evident even from the phone

"Where are you going to?"

"What do you mean? I'm in the basement with the mermaid."

"You are forgetting that you have everything to loose. Why are you lieing to me?"

"I don't understand!" Smith said his eyes widening

"You know exactly what I am talking about. Your position right now is outside the factory premises so do tell me where you are headed to young man !"

I had never met Davis Martins but from his tone, I never wanted to cross paths with him ever or else one of us would regret.

"I.. uhm.. siir.."  Smith stuttered while Davis laughed so hard he had to push his phone away.

"Don't test my patience boy. Get back in the factory and do as we agreed or else Stevie will be dead in a snap of my finger ."

Long after he has hanged up Smith is pacing behind the bush that we are hiding .

I move closer to him and try to touch him
"Don't touch me Daniella! If anything happens to Stevie I will never forgive you !" He snapped at me.

My reaction was to laugh at him before speaking
"Instead of threatening me, you should be wondering how the hell that guy knows your exact location dummy !"

He stopped pacing faced me and before he could do anything, I saw it.

It was so small , barely visible to the human eye but I still managed to see it.

It was a small bug that was placed on his ear, it's resembled his skin so much it was hard to tell it was even there.

Without warning, I removed it and threw it down stomping on it until it was completely broken.

I took hold of his arm and started running farther away from the factory .

I hailed a cab fast and before long, I was headed to the sea
