Chapter 59: Chapter 59

TAKEN- Final

They had gotten to the location they already set, waiting for their prey. Stella was really happy she was gonna end all this. Marcus already got their ticket and she already has her stuff ready too. After she was done with Jenifer, she was gonna give Spencer the order to to kidnap Flora. Every other thing would be when she gets back with her husband. She knew Marcus would have found out then that she still had her baby. Whatever his reaction was would determine the next step she was going to take in releasing Flora.

Rose was with Stella in this, she knew her marriage was not perfect and wanted to change her friend's own too. Friends should be there for each other isn't it. As much as she was hurt by what her own husband did to her, she still didn't want to leave him and she was making this clear to Stella too. They were not happy in their marriage but they were convenient. And she really believe that was important

Stella and Rose walks round the room inspecting the perfect place to carry out their plan. They had hidden the fuel gallon at one part of the room and Rose had a lighter in her pockets too. Stella couldn't wait for Jenifer to arrive,  every organ of her body sprout in anger. She hated that she had to find out about her and Marcus, How could a mere fitness instructor sleep with her husband. She was suddenly vexed again , Rose did her job by supporting her every step and move, she was her motivation. She wouldn't let anyone mess with her friend. Although Stella was also sleeping around but she wouldn't let Marcus do so. She alone owned him and any lady trying to take him away from her would face it.

To thought of Jenifer being pregnant for Marcus bothered her again. That means finally she was going to come live with them.No! she would never allow that! Marcus was hers only. Not anyone's property. Rose and Stella would stick to their plan. They were gonna give her a chance first, they would try bribe Jenifer to abort her pregnancy and if she refuses, they are going to burn her hands till she agrees. There was no better way to threaten her about the baby. Jennifer seemed too strong willed like Stella herself. She had successfully escaped the last one. She needed some death threat to be able to calm her nerves.

"Do you think she would come?"Stella asked Rose, she was starting to get anxious and doubting their plan. What if Jenifer does not show up. No, she didn't want that.

"She would definitely come Stella. Marcus is something to fight for"Rose replied her with much certainty.

Well, turns out they were right, Jenifer knocked on the door and the two friends rise up on their feet with a devious smile. Confidently, Jenifer walked towards them.

"You wanted to talk?"she asked them.in a rush. She looked like she didn't want to waste her time there. She just wanted to get this over with. The two friends looks at themselves and cackled loudly.

"I have no time to waste. Can you go straight to the point Stella?"Jenifer blurted again. These two didn't look like they were going to go easy on her.

Stella rolled her eyes at her and walked to where she kept her bag. Stella threw her that bag full of money. "Take. This is enough to take care of yourself after you abort the baby"

Jenifer chuckled at her shaking her head pitifully. She suspected it would have started with a bribe. Stella looked like someone who would do that."This wouldn't change anything Stella"

"Can I burn this bitch already?"Rose interfered impatiently. Stella stops her. Although she was angry at the moment, but she didn't want to rush things. She hated Jenifer's gut. She hated it!

"You are sleeping around with my husband, you need to abort that baby!" She screamed her lungs out.

"And you're also sleeping with his brother. You're lucky he didn't find out about that. Look Stella, we're the same. In fact, I'm way better than you because I'm not cheating. Your husband loves me and loves sex with me. You are the piece of trash here Stella!" Jenifer was all ready to get Marcus back. She knew she could. No matter if these two settled. She wanted him. She's never wanted someone so much

"Don't you dare! Just take this money and leave here!"

"That amount of money is not enough to take a life Stella. Although you took yours but this is Marcus's future" Jenifer rubbed her stomach. Anything to oppress the devil in Stella.

She had to imagine. What if she was really pregnant. Would she have to face this same trouble with Stella.

Stella's head rings and she ran towards Jenifer and attacked her holding her clothes tight in anger. "Rose, bring the fuel"she ordered her friend hastily before Jenifer starts to drag with her.

Jenifer ears opened at that request and struggled with her but she was too strong to release. It was like her anger built in her muscle. She was a fitness instructor but she could not even move Stella's fist from her body.  Stella looked at Jenifer straight in the eye, her fingers were already piercing Jenifer's skin and if possible she would chew on Jenifer herself. She grabbed the fuel Rose gave her and puts it on Jenifer's nose for her to inhale it. For her to know she was here for just business.

"I'm not here to play Miss fitness instructor. Leave my man or else!"Stella slowly pours little fuel on Jenifer from her head. "I will burn you and your baby!"

Jenifer's heart was already in pieces, she could see that neither Stella not her friend were here to joke, she was already getting scared and she did not know the next step to take to distract them. They look like they had nothing to lose killing her. She started to regret why she lied to Stella. She thought the woman was going to feel her threats and give her a  chance back in Marcus life, but it seems they were both in for trouble. She stylishly puts her hands in her pocket and using the speed dial she set with Marcus number, she hoped the call went through and it was already ringing. She had texted the address to him yesterday but he didn't seem to believe. She could see it in his eyes. Stella was already getting out of hand and she told Marcus already that his wife has evil plans. She just prays he picks the call. She really didn't want to be be the only partaker of this madness. She wanted him to watch too. Watch the woman he married.

Stella had all her master plan in her head, she had carefully thought about Jenifer telling Marcus about them meeting and she had secretly brought Marcus phone with her. Fortunately, the phone rang in her pocket and she brought it out as she cackled. Jenifer had no one to save her now.

"Making a move hun?" she showed Jenifer the phone. She loved the shock I'm her eyes and he made her feel she was really the boss.

Jenifer starts to shake. How smart of her.

"This wouldn't help you Stella, better still I can show you the way to get your husband back?"Jenifer said. She hoped what she said could make Stella distance herself a little, for her own little show too. She was already dripping with the fuel, she feared that a match stick or lighter was with Stella. She needed to do something. She wouldn't be at loss here. Or should she just say the truth? Tell Stella she has been lying all along. It didn't look like they would believe her anyways. .

Jenifer had her own plans. She also kinda came prepared. She knew it wasn't going to be a easy argument or fight with Stella and for her own safety, she had brought

Luckily, Stella moved back from Jenifer but she only did that to take the lighter from Rose's who has been keeping it in her own pocket.  Jenifer quickly reached for her bag and brought out a bottle.

Was she about to break someone's head?

"I would abort the baby!"she shouted stopping Stella from coming closer. "This will help me do that"she pointed the bottle at them. "I already came prepared"

"And how do we believe that!"Rose questioned her as they looked at the bottle with her to examine the content with their eyes.

"You would see the effect! I would bleed in few minutes. Please don't burn me!" Jenifer pleaded faking real tears.  She could see in Stella's eyes that it was no more a request with the way she handled the lighter. This woman was going to kill her with or without the baby. But she strongly believed her plan would work first.

Jenifer opened the bottle with her and as she pretends to drink it, she immediately threw it at them. The way Rose screamed shook Stella who has just escaped the acid Jenifer charged at them. Stella could see her friend's face start to shrink and burn. Top top it the bottle landed on her head. She joined her in screaming as she turned to look at Jenifer with her eyeball red.

She ran after Jenifer who was trying to escape and dragged her dress as they both fell on the floor. Jenifer slaps Stella's head and she groan loud not leaving her leg. Stella tried clicking the lighter as they both struggled, Jenifer wasn't going to go scot free. Jenifer kicks Stella in her stomach and she groan in pain again as real tears roll down her cheek. Jenifer trusted her kick game, after all her fitness in class? That kick could destroy anyone's intestine. As Stella groan in pain, her hand was slowly slipping away from Jennifer's leg, but Stella didn't release her. When Jenifer clothes finally lit up and starts to burn, Stella manages to stand up from her as she watched her scream.. She turned back to look at Rose rolling all over the floor in pain. She didn't know if she should save her friend or herself. They both hadn't expected this come back from Jenifer. Stella Iooks at her best friend and tears roll down her cheek. She was going crazy, she felt like stabbing Jenifer all over and all over.

Jenifer screamed and trmried stopping the fire all over her as she beats it with her hand and even tried blowing some air. As hurtful as it dawned her, she knew she wasn't going to escape this. The fire was already at her waist her laps all burned up. She cried in pain and seeing that Stella was ready to escape she dragged Stella's leg back on the floor. Stella falls and hits her head but Jenifer wouldn't release her also, she kicks Stella continuously on her stomach as they both cried and groan in pain. Stella could feel the fire catching up on her too, but she managed to get away from Jenifer, she ran outside the building but falls on the floor in pain, her body vibrating and shaking, she couldn't move, she tried crawling, it wasn't working either. She looks down at her lap as she bled, she wailed loud and searchs for her phone. She immediately dialed Allen's number. She was dying!.

That was the only person that could save her.

~~

"Would you just hurry up, we must not miss our flight"Flora shouted to Allen in the bathroom. She didn't know why he was being extra on the day they were leaving. All their bags were packed and even as a lady she was ready before him.

"I'll be there soon"She heard Allen reply. She would have loved dragging him out of the bathroom herself, but they would definitely miss their flight in that case. She didn't want that. She wanted to be away from all the drama as soon as possible. She could hear Allen's faint ringtone in her bag and she brought it out to see the caller ID. When the name Stella displayed on the phone, her countenance changed. Why would Stella be calling him? She picks up but didn't say a word.

"Allen.. Allen"she could hear a cry for help from the other side of the phone. What was wrong with her? Her breathing, her speech, her tone. Everything sounded wrong.

"Allen. Can you hear me..please help me.. I'm..I'm.. bleeding. I..it's your baby Allen.. please save your baby..I'm at Chari-" Flora hung up the call immediately. So? What if It was Allen's baby. He already told her not to keep it. Why was she calling and why was she sounding like she was really in trouble.

Flora didn't know what side of her to put in action, the side that wants to save Stella or the side that wants Allen to be hers alone. With no one's baby involved.

"Hey. What's wrong?"Allen comes out of the bathroom and asked Flora seeing her mood change.

"Nothing"Flora switched to a huge smile. "Was just waiting for you to be out"she said and immediately lock her lips with his.

To hell with whoever called.

Marcus suddenly barge into their room. "Have you seen Stella!" he asked , his face all troubled. Allen and Flora nod negatively. "She's with my phone..she... I think she's out there making trouble- I need to go!" Marcus nervously said as he ran out if the room

"Wait. We'll go with you"Allen shouted after him picking up a trouser and a shirt.

"Wait- erhm" Flora tried to stop him but he already ran after his brother. She had no choice but to follow

*

Spencer and his boys could see Flora in the car Marcus drove out now. They have still not received any response from Stella and didn't want to disobey her request. Maybe she changed her mind. They thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marcus pulled in to the address Jenifer had described for him earlier. To his surprise, few people gathered and the police was present too. They already kept restricted tags almost every where and his mind suddenly stopped. They all hurriedly got down from the car as they ran towards the scene, done policemen stopped them immediately. There was also an ambulance.

"What happened here" Allen barked at the policeman

"It was a fire accident. Who are you?"

"That's my wife" Marcus cried as they all turn to him staring directly at the woman on the floor. Allen and Flora turns to see Stella lying lifelessly in the pool of blood and their mouth went agape. She looked dead. Was she really dead.

"What happened here!"Marcus went in his knees in tears as he continuously hits fist on the ground.

Flora staggered at the scene. Stella called. Was this why she called.

The doctors brought out two bodies from the building on a stretcher as they moved it to the ambulance. He ran over there and his eyes could not believe how burnt Jenifer was. Guilt gripped him immediately and he sobbed as he calls her name. She really told him his wife was going to do something. It took him time to believe, no what was going on. Two women he loved. They were not dead right. They definitely are not.

"Marcus" He hears his name from the ambulance and ran there. It was Rose. She was half burnt on the face and hand too and she would not stop tearing up. "Forgive Stella"she said in tears to him

He tried processing everything in his head at once but he black out at the attempt.
