One year later" Darling, I think that dress is too tight." David persuaded as he caressed his wife's growing tummy." What do you know? I'm the one wearing the dress and not you." Sheila retorted, glaring at David.Her pregnancy was in her second trimester and was getting bigger." I'm just looking out for you." David said with a pout. Actually, the design she was wearing was showing too much skin at the back and he was displeased about that.Today was Alicia and Caleb's wedding day and his wife was among the bridesmaids." Alicia designed this dress for me and I'm sure she knew I was pregnant. You might as well say that you don't like the design rather than give me some baseless excuses." Sheila exposed David's thoughts, glaring at the man.First, he got her pregnant barely a year after they reunited, now, he wants to dictate what she will wear?" Okay, you can wear it but promise me to cover your back. I don't like others looking at your fair skin. Only I have the right to look at
" Come on Sheila, Why are you taking a century to get ready? The best spots will be occupied by the time we get to the bar." Vee's voice could be heard calling Sheila from the sitting room." Am coming, just give me a second." Sheila yelled back. She was getting ready to go out on a Friday night. Actually, this was a suggestion made by her friend to cheer up after getting fired from the secretary job she had Just acquired a few days earlier.That trashy CEO kicked her away like she was a stray dog after she expressed her stand of not getting involved with him romantically. She could still hear his words ringing in her ears, not forgetting the crisp slap he gave her." The reason I gave you a Job and saved your miserable life is not because you are qualified enough to be my secretary. I just wanted to fuck your brains out. Since you are not interested,get the hell out of my office. I never want to see your pathetic face in my company ever again." He had spat furiously. Sheila could sti
The following morning, Sheila woke up feeling like her head was hammered. How she got home,she had no idea about. All she knew was that she had drowned her sorrows with beer last night.She had thought that she was okay but that was a joke. After last night, she realized how fucked up her life was.Who is Sheila Masons?She was a twenty one year old girl,a graduate from a recognized university in the country. State university. She majored in business management and administration. It was what her parents wanted her to be. Ofcourse,her adoptive parents, Mr and Mrs masons.Three years ago, she Lost both her parents in a terrible road accident. They were driving home with their tricycle on a rainy day when an over speeding car crashed on them. They died on the spot. She Lost her parents on her eighteenth birthday.Sheila had talked to her parents urging them to hurry back home and celebrate her birthday. Her parents owned a food store, that's where they earned their daily bread and manag
Sheila walked back. She had no intention of roaming the City. Walking by the passager path, she came across a food store. The smell of fresh burgers wafted in her nose making her stomach to grumble. She walked to the food vendor and ordered one Burger.After she paid for the one piece, she walked to a nearby park and sat on a bench. She savoured the taste of the delicious piece in her hands. She even licked her fingers after she was done. That One piece was not enough for her hungry stomach but atleast it could sustain her till supper time. She rested for a while before resuming her journey back to her house.She intended to take rest before roaming the streets later to see if she could get lucky and land an evening shift job. That's how she survived for years, she was used to the hardships. what Sheila didn't know was that a Young girl spotted her at the park and has been following her secretly. Being a black belt holder in taekwondo, ofcourse Sheila sensed that someone was followi
It was four in the evening when the door to Sheila's room was knocked. The little girl and her had chatted for good hours before she finally gave to exhaustion and dozed off. Now, she was sleeping peacefully on her tiny bed that couldn't accommodate two people. Sheila was going through today's papers to see any job vacancy to try her luck. Even after failing,she knew that she couldn't loose hope and give up.she put the papers on the coffee table also used as dining table and proceeded to open the door. Hopefully,the little girls family finally found her.Upon opening the door, she was met with a well built man standing on her door. He was dressed in a black fitted suit and donned black sunglasses." Good evening Sir, how may I help you?" Although the man was intimidating with his burly body,he didn't pass as a dangerous Man in the eyes of Sheila.The man said nothing and just stepped aside and behold,stood a man. Six feet tall, medium sized body,well chiseled jawline and sword like b
" Okay princess,it's time to go home." David finally said earning a glare from his daughter. They had quarrelled with Lily in the morning regarding the issue of a mother.Lily had always craved the Love and attention of a mother. But David was reluctant to find a good mother for her. Actually,it wasn't because he wasn't willing,it's because the women he chose were all disliked by his daughter. He would introduce a nice woman to his daughter and Lily would bash at the woman or reject her coldly making him helpless.David knew of his daughter's situation but his lily was picky. He was determined to give her a complete family but everytime, lily would reject the Ladies he introduced to her. Ofcourse,the only purpose he was willing to get married was to give his daughter a complete family so he could only settle With the lady his daughter had approved.He was thirty one years old this year and the matter of love and relationships was not something he was considering,all he cared about was
Sheila went home dejected,with those kind of comments, there's no way she was getting a night job tonight. Deciding not to keep lingering around, she went home waiting to embrace her fate of sleeping on the Streets come tomorrow.It would have been fine if Vee was around. she could have crashed at her best friends house if thrown out but with Vee abroad, she didn't have anywhere else to seek refuge.She regretted not taking her friend's offer of moving in with her. Atleast of she did, she wouldn't be having trouble with a roof over her head. But there was no need to cry over spilt milk, she would cross that bridge tomorrow. With those thoughts, she surrendered to sleep.At the Brown Villa,the father and daughter duo was having a heated staring contest. The servants were having a hard time watching. The atmosphere was dreadful, like anytime the third world war would be erupting soon.David finally gave up. His daughter was very stubborn and never knew the meaning of taking a step back.
David went to bed that night thinking about the deal he made with his daughter. He could tell that Lily was insisting on having the little woman because she truly liked her and a sense of anxiousness could be spotted in his daughter's eyes even though she tried concealing it. It was their first meeting,so why was Lily so down to that little woman? David had to admit that she was eye-catching. Her innocent eyes and purity emanation from within her added to her charms. She was very beautiful even while dressed so casually.Then he remembered the sweet smile she flashed him and he could feel his heart warming up. He knew he was a goner. He wanted her by his side and he would do anything to achieve that. Widely known as the most unscrupulous business man in town who could do anything for profits,he swore that this time, he'll do everything to have her. It didn't matter if he had to lay a trap for her. As long as he could get her by his side,he was willing to add more to his sins.David re
