The escape

Ethan dragged his luggage and dropped it inside the boot of the car before slamming it closed. He went to the driver’s seat, unlocked it before he entered.

He noticed Reel giving him cold glare through the mirror and front of him.

“Dude if you’re gonna be giving that look you better getthe fuck out”. Ethan said and Reel scoffs.

“After everything, you’re still leaving?”, Reel folded his hand across he’s chest and asked.

“I have unfinished business”. Ethan started the car engine and slowly turn the wheel.

The car moved backward before turning and moving into the road.

“What do you mean by that Ethan?, What about Angelina, don’t you feel anything for her? After you fucked her yesterday???”. Reel asked.

Ethan pulled the break back, steering the wheels before it stopped. He turned back to look at Reel, glaring at him.

“How do you know I fucked Angel?”. He asked, calling her name in short since he didn’t recall telling anything about him and Angelina’s affair last week.

Reel rolled his eyes and sneer, ”Who doesn’t know you?, I’m your friend man so I know everything about you”. He respond but that didn’t satisfied Ethan, he still felt it hard to trust him after hearing him say that. He doesn’t know why, but whenever it came to Angelina he finds it hard to trust anyone. “Why the hell are you staring at me like you’re gonna kill me?!”. He exclaimed seeing the cold look on his face that made him scared a bit. He haven’t seen this perilous look on his face before. He knew Ethan as a soft hearted man who hardly gets angry. If Ethan is the kind of man that get’s angry easily or either has high temper they won’t still be friends by now, he won’t even dare to be seating in his car, oppositely close to him.

Ethan glanced at one last time and apologize before turning to his face forward.

Reel heaved a sigh of relief as Ethan proceed driving.

“Here”. Reel said to Ethan when they had arrived at the railway station. He steer the wheel till the car halt. “Thanks man”. He said and stepped down from the car before walking into the train that has just stopped.

Ethan shove his hand into his pocket, he was expecting a call from his lawyer which he hasn’t received. So instead of waiting he decided the call. He turned on his phone and saw few missed calls from an unknown number, it made him wondered who had called him.

He dialed the number and called to be sure of who had called him. It ran for a few minutes before it respond.

“Hello, may I know who I’m speaking with and why you called?”. He inquired and a manly voice respond.

“Sir…I…I…didn’t call you”. The man from the other side of the call stuttered, he was frightened by the unknown man’s voice.

“Okay great, I will have to hang up now”. Ethan said as he made and attempt to end the call but he heard the poor man yelled. He paused and listened to what he has to say.

“You must be the person the lady was trying to reach, using my phone if I’m not wrong?”. The man asked.

“What lady?”. Ethan asked, confusing frowning his brows.

“I don’t know her sir, but when I saw her, she looks scared and was screaming someone was trying to kill her”. The man said briefly.

Ethan because curious and at the same time furious, he could only think of Angelina. Maybe his brother was trying to kill her, what if his too late and couldn’t same her right on time.

“Thanks for the information”. He said and dropped his phone before he turned on the engine. He quickly started the car engine and zoomed off with full speed, not minding the cars diving into the road.

Few minutes later, he arriver at Conner’s mansion. He halt the car and stepped out. He quickly rushed to the gate and it automatically opened.

“Sir, you are not supposed to be here”. David came in from nowhere and tried to push him outside but he ended up receiving a strong punch against his nose that made him jerk and fall to the road. He loose his consciousness immediately his body stumbled and hit against the iron gate. He had just mess with the wrong man.

Ethan pace up to the door and kicked it open. He went to the stairs and climbed up to the room.

The room was empty, bed perfectly dressed and it seems like no one was home. But they have to be someone since David had tried to stop him.

“What if she’s dead, where must he had hide her corpse”. He ran his finger throw his hair. He was furious and worried, his breath pace increased, he was breathing in rage of anger.

The paused as he reached the bathroom door and heard a feminine sobbing coming from inside, he recognized her voice and knew it was Angelina.

He tried opening the door but it was locked and he couldn’t find the key in the knob.

He stepped back few meters away from the door and using his arm he rushed towards the door and slam his left arm against it. It was a painful experience but he didn’t care. He stepped back again and slam the door down, it flung open and he loose his balance and tripped in. He was able to hold his self from falling and stand firm on his feet.

“Angelina”. He called, seeing her sobbing with her face buried in her palm. He took off his shirt and scurried towards her. He turned the shower off and she lifted her head to face him.

“Ethan!”. Angelina whimpered and hugged him tightly when he fell on his knees. She didn’t care if she was naked all she cares is that is here and she’s safe now, seeing him around. She prayer in her heart that she wasn’t imagining things.

Ethan gritted his teeth before he pulled himself out from her grip. He forced his shirt through her head and wore her his shirt to cover her naked body.

She lean closer and embrace him again. Her head, against his chest and her hand wrapped around his waist while she sob. His warm skin were able to warm up her cold body. “I’m gonna die here”. Angelina wept.

He stroke her hair severally before he trail his hand down to her chin and lifted her face up to meet his gaze. “Conner has done enough now, I am taking you with me”. He said, reaching for her arm and grabbed it.


“No Ethan, no, I don’t want to…”.

Ethan made her stand, he then took her hands and flipped her over his back. Her hair dropped down as her head were facing the ground.

“Ethan drop me down”. Angelina commanded but he didn’t bulge.

He wrapped his left hand below her ass and move to the door.

“Drop me down Ethan, you’re putting your self at risk”. Angelina protested as she hit her fist against his firm back. He still didn’t drop her down so she began wriggling her body to release herself from his grip.

“Stop it Angelina”. Ethan ordered, he was losing his balance step by step. He speed up his pace to his car and unlocked it before he placed her on the passenger seat. She tried to rush out but he slammed the door and locked it. “She’s so stubborn”. He groan in anger and reached for the driver seat. He started the car the engine and she slammed her back to the chair as the car zoomed off.
