His Majesty’s Possession — Chapter 16

Richard’s POV

”We have tracked his location, it's down town in an old industrial building, though from our surveillance camera, there’s no activity going on inside. Our only guess is that they’re using the basement” the detective informed me. I had called a friend who was a police officer to get involved in the matter. I didn’t want to do anything that could jeopardize the life of Vanessa. I can’t afford to lose her, for me and for Racheal’s sake.

“Don't you think this will be dangerous? What if Essa gets hurt? I can't afford that” I complained

“She'll be fine, I'll have my boys get her out of there before we engage in any shoot out with the guy and we’ll only engage in a shoot-out if they have any weapons on them or fire at us first’

“Okay, I'll trust you on that. Shall we leave now?” After tracking down the building where Essa was held hostage, I had to stay outside away from the gunshots and wait for the signal before I joined them in the building.

Ten minutes after the gunshots had stopped, I was given the signal and when I entered, it was Andy I first saw lying in a pool of his own blood and then I saw Dae being taken away by the police.

Moving closer to the detective who brought me here, I saw Essa sitting on the floor looking disheveled and sad.

I bent to her level and I removed the dirt in her hair. Her eyes lightened up immediately she saw me.

“I'm sorry you had to go through this Essa, I'm sorry you're paying for my sins. I'm sorry baby” She shook her head.

“It's not your fault Richard, it was never your fault and the best part is that I get to see you and our daughter again” she said

“It's all good, Essa. It's all good”

“I've been thinking a lot and I'm grateful I get to tell you how I feel about you, Richard. I think we've played enough games with ourselves. No more hide and seek, I….” I quickly placed my middle finger on her lips shutting her off.

“Let’s get you to the hospital first, Essa. I don’t want anything happening to you. Heck! I can’t bear seeing you in pain”
