"James, take me to the station."I ordered him with anger building up in me.

"But I think it'd be better to go to ...

"I cut him off knowing what he was going to suggest.

"Just drive me to the station ! I can handle myself ,I don't need Drake."I blurted out in anger at James. I felt bad that I was lashing out my anger on him maybe I'd apologize later.

We drove for a while before coming to an halt at a police station. I rushed out of the car and I could see James reaching out for his phone probably to call Drake.

I barged into the station, I looked around for who I could talk to and file a complaint then someone tapped me on my shoulder.

"Evening Miss." I turned around to face a young man with a dark skin with well defined muscles and dark hair, he was tall and I felt kind of intimidated by his height.

"I want to file a complaint !"I said in a sharp tone.

"Oh well I'm the right person ,follow me to my office ." He stepped ahead of me and I followed him to his office.

It was small but cozy. He had lot files on his desk , his cabinets were in one side of the office but the drawers were all opened with files sticking out if it. For a man well dressed in a uniform his office was pretty disorganized.

"I'm detective Darius and you are ?" He introduced himself to me as he settled down in his seat as he gestured me to sit.

"Skai , Skai Hart. I want to report a constant harassment that has been going on for a while."I responded with a clenched fist.

"Who's the victim ?"He took out a note and started writing some things on it.

"I'm the victim and I know who is harassing me, Andre Suarez."He focused his attention on me and I could see his teeth were clenched revealing his sharp jawline.

He called someone on his landline and he got up from his seat and walked close to me.

"Are you sure he's the one ?"He asked me with narrowed eyes.

"Of course I'm sure about that, I dated him for five years!"I lashed out at him because I was getting sick of the questions.

A lady also wearing a cop uniform rushed into the office. She was tall and slender, she had a nice pixie cut and she was really good looking.

"Yes detective !"She rushed to where I sat and stood behind him.

"We've got a lead on Andre." He went back to his seat and handed his note to the lady. She took the note and sat on the edge of the table facing me.

"Hi I'm Thelma , I'd want you to tell me everything you know about Andre and what he has being doing to you."She said as she took out a pen ready to write down some things.

"I met him in college we dated all through college and he proposed to me the night before we graduated but I broke things off with him as soon as I found out he was involved in a mafia gang."I paused for a while to get my breath because I was rushing my words and I was still angry.

"He's been harassing me for some months now, he shows up at my house giving me threats sometimes he sends notes threatening my family and he abducted me in New York and poisoned me. I got home and I met my house with blood splattered everywhere. " I couldn't go on anymore my eyes were now blurry due to the tears that were bubbling in my eyes.

"It's going to be alright , calm down and finish what you have to say." Thelma assured me in a calm tone.

"That's all that happened."I said with my eyes closed. I heard someone rushing down to the office with banging footsteps.

"Skai! Skai! Skai! Skai! " I heard my name which was repeatedly shouted by the firm familiar voice. It was Drake.

He rushed into the office and Thelma gave me a look to know if she should allow him in and I nodded. He came and knelt down by my side and his eyes were weary.

"Why didn't you come straight to the house ? Why did you come here alone ?"I expected him to be harsh but he was calm.

"I could handle it myself and I needed to get something done."I told him as I turned my gaze to Detective Darius who stood up from his seat.

"We are sending our team to your home now to take some sample of the blood and other things that might be useful. Can we have a picture of the person in question ?"He stretched his hands out to take any form of recognition that I had.

I didn't have any of his pictures on my new phone then I remembered my social media page and I logged in and loaded some of our graduation pictures and handed it over to Darius.

He and Thelma had their eyes widened and let out a gasp. It was like they had seen a ghost.

"What ?!"Drake asked as he stood up.

"We've been in the search for this guy and we've been on his case for a long time since we got his dad into custody, he's more dangerous than you think."He said with a serious face as he picked up his jacket.

"I won't be surprised if the blood in your apartment is actually real blood."Thelma said as she got off the table.

"Don't worry Miss Skai we'd get him and capture him like we did to his father in the meantime you should find a place to stay, you've been through so much and we'd call you if anything comes up."He gestured us to stand up. We stood up and they escorted us out of the office.

Drake held my hand and walked me out of the station. He paused outside the door and he let go of my hand and pressed his palms against his eyes.

"Why didn't you call me ?"He still had his palms pressed against his eyes.

"I've gone through a lot of questioning in there and I don't think I'm ready for more."I walked passed him but he held my arm and drew me back to my initial position.

"You promised me you were going to let me protect you and be the one accompanying you to all the police visits." He looked really tired and worried but I didn't care because my main focus was finding out whose blood was dripping in my house.

"I didn't have much time to think, I saw real blood dripping in my house on all the furniture,no one would have the time to think in that situation."I blurted out at him as I walked towards where the car was parked then my phone rang.

"Hello ?"I picked the call and the familiar soft voice filled my ears.

"Skai,are you okay? Where are you ?"It was Becky and I missed her so much.

"I'm fine , I'm at the station with Drake. How did you get my new number ?"I asked her as I looked at Drake who was looking at me with a scowl on his face.

"I called Drake's number a few times because your line wasn't going but some girls picked and told me what had happened and I requested for your new number. Just come to Drake's house I'm on my way there."She hung up immediately and didn't let me respond.

"Seems I'd be staying in your place tonight."I said to Drake who shook his head at me.

"If only you had listened to me and stayed but you were running away from my house now look you're coming back."He rolled his eyes at me.

We entered into the car and we drove off to his house. His house was huge, it had tall fences with a huge pool at the front, it was painted white. The house was tall and it had lights around the edges. I wondered why one person would choose to stay in a big house like this.

"Are you sure you are the only one staying in here ?"I asked him as we got off from the car.

"Not anymore."He chuckled as twins and Becky ran towards me and engulfed me in a hug.

Becky held me so tight and she started to cry. I broke the hug and cupped her face in my hands.

"Hey sis, it's okay. I'm going to be fine."I assured her as I wiped her tears.

"A lot of thoughts went through my mind when I heard what he did to you in New York and now he vandalized your house ."She said amidst tears.

"Stop crying, it won't solve anything. I'm going to stand up to him and he's going to pay for what he's been doing to me."I wiped her tears and put my arms around her shoulder and we all walked into the house.

I was too tired and devastated to admire the beauty of the house but the beauty of the couldn't go unnoticed. It was carefully built and constructed, the architects did a good job.

"Sorry about what happened Skai, we are here for you now."Busola said as she took off my jacket.

"Thanks a lot."I walked into the lounge and took my seat in one of the couch.

"You need anything ?"Drake asked me as he slumped in one of the cushions.

"No, just rest ."I rested my head in my hands.

"Okay should I get some comfy clothes for you to put on."Busayo suggested as she put my jacket on the couch.

"No I'm fine. I know this might sound rude but I'd like to be left alone."I looked down at my shoes, the heels were killing me so I decided to take them off.

"Okay then, we'd give you some time and please don't over think things."Busola walked up to me as she spoke and hugged me slightly and Busayo followed suit.

They went up the stairs. Becky got up and sat at the hand of the couch,close to where I was.

"If you need me I'm in the first second room upstairs."She kissed my forehead and took my jacket off the couch with my shoes on the floor and she went up the stairs.

Drake still stood there with his hands clenched and he didn't look like he was leaving anytime soon. I didn't bother, I took my legs off the ground and laid on the couch.

"Are you feeling okay ?"He walked towards me and knelt down on the floor with his gaze upon me.

"I'm okay I just need to process the whole scene of events happening around me."I closed my eyes and tucked myself comfortably into the couch.

I felt his hands squeezing my hands in a reassuring way which made me feel safe. I laid there with my eyes shut and the images from my house flashed through my mind.

I couldn't handle it but the sweet grace of sleep befell me.
