THE ROAD OF WEALTH
WRITTEN BY: DAVE SUN
CHAPTER THREE
I struggled to be free from them, when my eyes were just staring at the maximum mansion which was standing at my face. I feel something not right about this place.
It was like I was suffocating, What will I do now? How will I even escape, how will I start? I feel so empty, I remember when brother Linus touched me and I realized that something was drawn out of me.
Hope isn't what I'm thinking, ‘Lord, please save thy son!’ I prayed in my heart. I could see him chuckles. “If you like to go on your knees and pray to him, he still can't save you!” he boasted. How did he even know my thoughts, of course I'm dealing with the devil now?
“I'll, and you will regret ever bringing me here!” I told him, which he replied. “Stubborn uh?”
Well, he's no longer the brother I knew who left the village for the city. “You're welcome to my paradise.” He added, which I just focus on him. “Take him.” He ordered his men's to bring me in.
I was lifted like a load of wood, I don't even have any strength left in me, my spirit was disturbed and me being here isn't safe at all. The compound was so big, and it looked like a hostel.
So this is what he achieved in using father for sacrifice, the men dropped me in a room and locked the door immediately. I knocked on the door begging them to open, but I heard the retreating feet instead, they are so heartless.
I was left all alone in this strange place, I was hungry, and I wished I can run away. Not only that, but I was still in thought when I started hearing some whispering, and it was as if it were coming from the wall. I had to place my ears to the wall as I listened attentively.
It seemed like there were some people in the room close to mine, I could hear them screaming, what could that be? I thought. What is happening in the other room. I could hear them begging, pleading to be spared.
Is brother really that wicked. Of course, someone who doesn't have any sympathy for father, even the one he shared blood with, talkless of others victims whom they're not related to at all. So it wasn't only father but other people's and that might be young girls.
I really pity them, Brother Linus is good-looking and no doubt any girl whose isn't in her mindset will become his victim. The love for money had really makes men to go extra miles and do evil. I don't even know what he has drawn out of me.
I know that his mind is now strong, he doesn't have any soft heart, he would not even allow me to be free from here, what is he even planning to do with me. He must set me free. That is when I recalled from the dream I had before I was taken.
‘You can't save him from my gripes, he's mine now, and you are next!’ I placed my back on the wall, I was tired of listening to those who were begging for their lives.
I felt sorry for them, all they all wanted to do was to enjoy and without thinking to know the source of income of whom they are dating.
Brother Linus, I don't even know the total number of girls he had used already for rituals. Now I'm here in his custody, and I'm also among his targets. Did he bring me here so that he can kill me so easily?
That means father's body might be here too, they might even bury an empty casket, of course no one can question him, he had used his mystical power to make the villagers do his bidding.
I fold my legs as I go on my knees and start praying. I was so weak, and it was like some force was even trying to weaken my body, the more I prayed, I felt like I'm dying.
Likewise, I couldn't continue anymore which I suddenly felt a strong hand holding and pressing my neck and my body was lifted. Likewise, I choked immediately, trying to be freed from whatever that was holding me, but it seemed like it wasn't ready to let me go.
“Jesus!” I shouted with all the strength left inside of me which I fell down on the ground and widened in pain which I then hit my head on the cupboard. I could hear some screaming, my eyes were now becoming dim, but I was able to see the invisible hand.
It seemed like it was waving and blood even dripping out. I was down, weak, and I don't know when my mouth started moving, I don't even know what I was saying, it was something strange, I could feel strength in me and also saw a bright light shining around me as I continued speaking some unknown words.
The light kept on shining and then ceased immediately, and I could no longer breathe anymore…

CHAPTER FOUR
I open my eyes after which seems like I have sleep long enough, I feel another presence, I try to be on my feet even though the fact that I was hungry, but I still have strength in me.
I couldn't stand up immediately due to how I was feeling. It seems like someone was leaning on me, is the person feeling cold because of the fan. The person was pressing my body, did Brother bring another being here, what was he trying to do. Instead of him to free me, he decided to bring another being too.
I checked and was surprised that the person was a female, I was confused, did brother think that I'm into girls that he had to one for me.
I pushed her away as I stood up immediately, I was dread as I stare at her, she was wearing pink gown and I saw a deep wound on her abdomen which makes her dress stain with blood.
It seems like she noticed and stood up immediately. “Who are you and what are you doing here?” I questioned. Which she then burst out laughing and before my eyes she disappeared.
I clean my eyes to be sure of what really happened, maybe I'm still dreaming, am I seeing double, I slap my cheeks to be sure if I'm not dreaming, I then feel a whip on my back as I shouted. Another follow immediately on my leg and then my back again which I scream and then cries out.
I have to lean on the wall to avoid being flogged again. How it's possible that I can see her. She is just a ghost and why is she tormenting me, I'm not the one who killed her. Oh, about that, when I realized that I'm the devil's brother.
“Please don't hurt me, we can work out together, I can save you guys too, I know you need to be free, I can try to unlock you from his trap.” I pled with them, hoping they heard me.
Perhaps they might consider and show some mercy; even though I don't know what I was saying or how I'll be able to deliver them when I have been locked up in one place. I was so scared, did brother Linus really want to kill me.
If he can't succeed in killing me, then I think these ghost will. First he removes something out of me, second the invisible hand that almost choke me to death and now conjuring a ghost lady to kill me.
I could then hear the door knot turning as it opens, Brother Linus stood by the door smiling at me. I was so angry as I rushed to punch him when he raised his hand up and I stopped instantly.
“Drop the food and go!” He told his men who dropped the tray of food which also contains fruit juice and water as they left.
“Why do you still insist on fighting me when I have power over you, as far as you are standing on my land. We both shared the same blood it will be impossible for you to win.” He said and laughed.
“In case you are still wondering.” he removed his red cap and show me what was inside the red cap, I gasped and almost vomit as I close my eyes immediately. He laughed and closed the door. That is when I was able to move my body.
If someone could tell me that my brother will be this wicked, I'll have killed the person. What I saw there really made me realize one thing, no matter how he does, I will never give up. I'll keep on fighting until I overcome. Even though I'm angry, who will I wage my anger with? I couldn't believe that I just saw maggots inside his cap.
What really amused me was they weren't even dead, they were big and plenty and were moving. It was so disgusting and was frightened the more.
This isn't ordinary; I'm going to fight, “Oh Lord, please give me strength to fight this battle; I don't have any power of my own, let me succeed and come out as a victor. I prayed and just hoped that I win this battle.
