His wry smile gave me more reason to be afraid. He continued staring at me, and I tried to make out who it was from his face. He started moving towards me, and I tried to look more to see who he was. When he was closer enough, he continued smiling, and I finally knew who he was. He has been out of my way for a few days now, which has made me forget him.“So you now walk with a bodyguard, Miss. Helen,” he said when he was very close to me. His smile alone makes me imagine his cruel act. And for a minute, I wonder what he will do to Jane once he set eyes on her. Mr. Rex was a heartless human whose eyes never stop searching for a vulnerable young model to sleep with. “So this is how you are, you go about sleeping with wealthy people and gain favor from them. You would have named your price and watched me pay, instead of claiming to be a good girl but later sneak to satisfy a man older than I am. You think I don’t know him?” I wondered when Rex will stop his usual sermon and leave me alo
LucasThe only thing that fill my mind these days was Helen. How she had managed to seize every part of me was a history I can’t tell. During office hours, I barely concentrate, all I do is sit at the desk and stare at the number on my phone and pray that the day should be over soon, so I can go home. When she had not answered my call I was losing it, thank God that she replied to my message at once. I was already missing her and I wanted to see her face badly. She has somehow occupied the greater part of my heart now. I wish she will remain there and never go till time indefinite. I went to the hospital immediately after I saw her reply. Although I had gone there earlier to complain about my recent feeling towards one opposite gender to the doctor. He told me I was healing very fast. He gave me some tablets and ask me to take them one hour before visiting the hospital. I seized the opportunity to visit her friend and gave the support I feel they so needed in the name of Helen. When
HelenIt was a bright Saturday morning. I woke up happy and with full strength. It could be because my mother was going to be discharged from the hospital, or because Lucas’s bed has become so cozy and comfortable. My plan was to get to the hospital by 12 pm and help her get to the house. I sat up on the bed and reflect on the past weeks. It was hell, each week came with its own problem. I was happy that I stood strong throughout those phases and remain unbroken. Although I wouldn’t say it to his face, I didn’t forget to thank God for Lucas, who has been showing up at the right time to help. His swift decision has been getting me out of trouble this whole time.I stretched and yawn loud thinking I was alone. I shut my mouth with my palm when I remember I wasn’t alone. The thought of Lucas now set in, and I started wondering where he does sleep. Of course, there are plenty of rooms in the villa, sleeping in one wouldn’t be an issue for him. Then I remember I haven’t seen him throw his
What Caroline had said has gotten a hold of me. It was something I must show gratitude for. I started wondering about Lucas's sexual life, I have seen the way he looked at me, the way he touched me, so tenderly, and the way he gets angry when anyone treats me the way he feels shouldn’t. I started doubting Buzz's words. But then, what if he is disguising himself to confuse me? I guess he knows that Buzz must have told me about his gay life.“Caroline, tell me. How come Lucas never got married till now.” Caroline stopped and looked up at my face. She seems not to understand my question. I blink rapidly as I waited for her to respond.“Excused me, ma’am, he’s married now.” My eyes widen in realization, I forgot that we were married. I duck down my face in embarrassment and wished I had not come up with the conversation. Caroline reached out and touched my shoulder. “I understand how new marriage works. I was once in your shoe. Sometimes I even woke up and call my mum thinking that I wa
HelenThe house was in frenzy, everywhere was bustling, and those I have never seen smiling were smiling. For the first time I feel accepted, I love Lucas's mood today, he wasn’t moody and all to himself or sturdy today. Perhaps I was the cause. I wasn’t left out, Lucas's voice has become all that I want to hear, his gist tickles me and made me laugh out loud. I could see the joy in his eyes as I beamed in laughter. The dining table was full, and I watched him keep requesting for more food, it was like Christmas, if that’s the perfect word that best suits it.“What’s your plan after now,” he asked after he’d settled the spoon and knife on the table. I wasn’t very shy of him again, and I think I love the way it felt, and I am not sure that I will want to return to the previous way. Moreover, my plan for the day was the reason behind my smile.I will be taking my mum home, she’ll be discharged from hospital. I looked up and saw him staring with an expression on his face that I couldn’t
LucasToday was indeed a great day, I love every part of it. She gave me the feelings I have never expected, perhaps because she had shown signs of happiness first. That was what I always wanted, to make her feel like the queen she’s. I had waited in the sitting room for her. I started wondering what could make her stay for that long. I didn’t want to think about the bad things that could happen to her there. I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything happened to her. I rose from my seat and headed to the kitchen. I couldn’t believe my eyes, she was making a meal for me. I stood there and listened to their conversation without their notice. I saw her reaction when Caroline told her I made the toasted bread she enjoyed that morning. Her face was like, “If I’d known, I wouldn’t have eaten, but I have eaten anyway.” I watch as she wiggles on that loose cloth. I imagine myself hugging her tight, pressing myself hard on her, kissing her, fondling her, still, she begged me to continue. I wanted
HelenThe morning came, cool and soothing, everything returned to life and the excitement continued. All through the weekend, two things were on my mind. And each time I recall those things, it gives me nothing but joy and laughter. Lucas’ has been so good, I couldn’t thank him less, I wished we can recreate Saturday’s event. Well, let's leave it to another convenient time. Again, the fact that my mum has bounced back to full health was the other exciting thing. I want her to live and enjoy all the things I will build for us and her grandchildren.I stretched out of the bed like a wild cat, I saw him again, throwing his suit over. I wondered why I always woke up when he is throwing up his suit. I pushed aside the thought, it was only a coincidence or that we both had the same time for a different routine. I leaned to the side of the bed and took my phone, the screen lit up when I lifted it up immediately, and I saw an email message from my agency. I have been selected, I won the audit
She was already in her seat when I came, she smiled immediately she spotted me and stood up from her seat. She wore a purple color short gown, and the lipstick matched the color of her gown. The dangling necklace around her necklace promotes her elegance more. “Take a seat Helen, I am so happy to meet with you today,” she said pointing at an empty seat in front of her desk. “Thank you, ma’am,” I said before I sank into the seat. She continued looking at me and smiling like someone who was proud of what she chooses. She sat gracefully on her seat and curl up her legs. She brought out a document from her drawer and placed it on the table. I glanced at it, but it was too far for me to denote what was written inside. “You see, Helen, I like you. I have heard good and bad things about you, but I decided to take the good ones because your bad side does not affect me in any way.” she chuckled and continued. “Your hard work has finally paid off, and I am pleased to announce to you the be
