Louis points the gun at Alvin ." Are you really going to burst my mind?
Do you think you'll get away with it?" Alvin asked with a teasing tone.
Louis' eyes narrowed, his finger tightening around the trigger as a cold smile spread across his face.
" You really think you're funny , do you?", he sneered, his voice dripping with malice.
"But you're not clever as you think you're , Alvin .
You're just a pawn in the game you don't even understand".Louis says provoking Alvin .
Suddenly,Alvin's eyes flicked to side and Louis followed he saw a shadow of a pistol pointing at him.
" Ah..., dad ". Alvin said , his voice low and even .
" I think it's time for you to say goodbye...." Alvin says wearing a cold smile and waving at Louis.
A bullet sound spread all over the mansion, a shock of fear and questions passed through their bodies.
To whom the bullet had caught.
Alvin made a cold laughter which woke everyone up.
Anita's eyes landed to his lifeless father who had a bullet wound in his forehead.
" Wow....
That was childly man...,we had alot of games to play , dying right away is not fair at all...." Alvin says while stepping on Louis' corpse.
Anita ran close to Louis' corpse and pushed Alvin away from it.
She started weeping as Alvin looked at her with sharp narrow eyes filled with smile .
" Why...,why ,dad ?
Why on earth did you choose to leave me all alone?" Anita says with drops of tears and mucus running from his eyes and nose.
Anita's anguished cries echoed through the air as she cradled her father's lifeless head in her lap.
She stroked his hair , her tears falling onto his face , mixing with the blood that had splattered onto his cheek.
" Daddy, no,no,no...
Why did you do this ?" She whispers ,her voice shaking with grief.
As she held him, memories of their happier days flooded her mind, laughter and his comforts .
The pain of losing him is overwhelming, she feels like she is drowning in sorrow .
Alvin has stand frozen ,watching the scene unfold .
His expression is unreadable ,but for fleeting moment, a glimmer of sadness seemed to flicker in his eyes.
He ordered her to be captured, the two guards held her.
Anita's cries echoed through the empty halls as the guard dragged her away from her father's lifeless body.
She struggled and kicked, but their grip was too strong.
They tossed her into her room ,the sound of the lock clicking like a cold ,unforgiving shackle.
The air she breathes now is stale ,heavy with the scent of neglect.
Panic set in as she realizes her situation.
She is trapped,alone,and at the mercy of people who killed her father.
The guards stood outside her door ,their presence a constant reminder of her captivity.
She thought of her father's last moments, the look of desperation in his eyes, the sound of the gunshot and the feeling of helplessness that had washed over her .
Tears pricked at her eyes again ,but she forced them back .
She had to think ,had to find a way out of the mansion.
She started searching every corner of the room,her eyes scanning every inch for any possible means of escape.
She checked the window,the door,and the sofa chair in the room,her mind racing with ideas and fear.
She is more determined to escape at any means and risks.
As she was fixing herself in the window inside her bathroom, the door beeped.
She quickly turned on the water to destruct the person who had entered.
Alvin had come with spaghetti and pineapple in the tray.
It's Anita's favourites, but is she in the mood of having it .
Alvin gentily knocks on the bathroom door .
Anita increased on the speed aiming to fix herself in the small window which even a nine year old kid can never fit in .
" Anita, open the door or I'll open it myself." Alvin says with a low tone .
She repeatedly call Anita's name without any response.
He angrily kicks the door and forcely entered the bathroom.
His eyes were surprised and embarrassed seeing Anita naked showering.
He makes a step behind with his face full of embarrassment .
" Can't you respect someone's privacy even at once?" Anita asked angrily .
" Am sorry....., I didn't mean it." Alvin replied gentily .
" You thought I had escaped....
Well how could I escape with all the guards there.
Am trapped inside my parents' house and guess who had trapped me ,....
The orphan my parents raised out of love". Anita said with tears from her eyes.
Alvin felt the words passing through his heart as a sharp needle.
" Your food is there,eat it before it is gold..."Alvin said and walked away.
" When is his burial...?" Anita asked before he could go more further.
He slightly turned to her and gave her a cold smile.
" His body was handed to the mortuary, tomorrow at 2 P.M exactly,he will be erased from the world map...
Am sorry if you'll not attend but trust me, I have no choice ".Alvin said .
The tears pricked again at her eyes, she just can't bear the pain of losing her father.
And it's more overwhelming knowing that she will never get a chance to say her last words.
Besides the disagreements and fights they always had, he was one of that kind in her eyes.
Sometimes he could be a good and caring father to her.
And at times, a mafia father , this was all fine in her eyes as long as he was with her.
Weeping and moaning filled her soul ,it seems the good old days with her father are vanishing with in the next coming hours.
The spirit of revenge filled her small kind heart.
She is more determined to escape more than she had been before.
She spent the all night thinking if ways but they all failed .
" I need to escape from this mansion at any cost...
I have to find justice for your death , dad". Anita says with a lot of determination.
