YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE

THEODORA'S MANSION

Theodora stormed into the house furiously, throwing her hand bag on the floor.

" Gosh....damn it! ah......,I hate you, Leyla and I'll make you regret crossing my path,ever...!"

She hit the flower vase on the table, scattering it on the floor and slowly sat of the floor, distressed.

" No,Theo, you can't just give up like that. I need to do something about this....I won't let her win over Daniel. I will fight till the last drop of my blood and I will win no matter what...."

She smirked and hurriedly dashed out of the house.

THE DRAKE'S HUT

Stephen strolled into the hut,searching around for Damsel but she was no where to be found.

" Where could she had gone without informing me? Or she had gone to visit her parents?No...I don't think so. She would have informed me yesterday if she was to go there. But where is she, now....", he wondered.

Just then, he heard the sound of a parking car outside the hut. He quickly rushed to the door to find out who it was.

" Thank you so much,Mrs Leyla.....", Damsel exclaimed, alighting from the car.

" Leyla.......Damsel not Mrs. Leyla. You don't need to be so formal and no need to thank me, please. okay?", she replied, patting her back,cheerfully.

Damsel nodded in response, elated.

" Good. What are friends for? Always call me when you need anything, okay?"

" Alright....."

" Hey...!, Damsel..., Mrs Leyla, you are here...", Stephen called, approaching from the hut.

" Yes, honey..."

" Hi, Steve..."

Leyla and Damsel trod towards him.

" Hi, honey....have you been home for long?",Damsel asked, hugging him.

" No, not really. Just a while ago...Hi, Mrs. Leyla. How are you doing ..?"

" Fine and you? "

" Same here. Please come in,let's treat you to lunch.."said Stephen.

" I wish to but I need to rush off for something very urgent. But I promise to have lunch the next time I visit...."

" Um...okay, if you say so. By the way...thanks for taking care of Damsel while I was away and the things you bought for the baby. That is so kind of you...."

" Never mind. It's my pleasure. I'll go now. See you guys later ,okay ?and take care of yourselves especially you, Damsel..."

" Sure I will...", she responded with her smile.

" Don't worry, I'm here for her....."

" Alright....see you later, bye"

She hugged them, dashed into her car and drove off.

" She is such a nice person, don't you think so, Steve?", said Damsel.

" Sure she is....But for now,let's get you in so you can have lunch and take some rest, okay... ",he replied, gently pressing her cheeks, playfully.

Damsel made a puppy face and smiled.

" Okay...shall we....?"

They both chuckled and strolled into the hut.

IN THE CAR

Leyla was driving, full of smiles when her phone suddenly rang. She took a glance and picked it up.

" Hello, who am I talking to...", she answered.

" It's me,your worst nightmare and rival, Leyla", a voice answered coldly.

" Meaning....what? Who are you to threaten me", Leyla shouted back, tensed.

" Don't worry, dear. You'll soon find out...", the voice exclaimed and hanged up.

" Hey.....! hello...? hello.... ? Gosh....she hanged up. Who the hell could it be....?", she murmured nervously, starring at the phone in disbelieve, forgetting she was still driving.

The traffic light suddenly turned on without Leyla's notice. She passed through,raising her head up only to see a truck fast approaching from the left side of the T junction.

" Oh...my God? No......", she screamed helplessly with the truck clashing into her car in top speed. Dragging her car 3 kilometers away from the place of hit.

Leyla's car was badly damaged with her trapped in it, unconscious.

" Oh, my God....Help, someone, please.... call the ambulance... ", a lady shouted from a shop near the screen,rushing over.

The truck driver immediately sped off without waiting to find out how the victim was.

" hey.....wait.....call the police now, he's escaping... ", a man shouted.

All the people around rushed to the aid of Leyla with some trying to reach the police for the culprit to be tracked. Soon,the ambulance arrived.

Leyla was slowly moved out of the car, motionless and laid on a stretcher into the ambulance.

*******************

The truck driver pulled over at a lonely street and alighted. A black car immediately stopped beside him and he hopped on.

" Let's go....be fast....the police will soon get here", he shouted.

The car sped off without a second.

IN THE CAR

The truck driver sat at the back, chuckling with his friends when his phone rang.

" Is she the one calling?", one asked.

" Yeah....wait,let me finish with her", he replied, answering the call.

" Hello, Gideon, how did it go?", a voice called from the other end of the phone.

" Perfect...just as planned."

" Glad to hear that. Hope you left no traces...."

" Yes, ma'am, no traces ...."

" Good. I'll send you the balance this evening... "

" Okay, ma'am. Thanks"

" Alright, talk to u later,bye..."

" Okay, ma, will be expecting your call,bye"

He hanged up, smiling satisfactory.

" Done, guys.... Everything is completed. She will send the rest of the money his evening.... ", Gideon announced.

" That's great. Let's go party....", one shouted happily with the others cheering after him as they continued their journey, elated.
