71Jane walked brisky, and halted two steps forward. “What the fuck am I doing?!" She mused, her face wearing a little frown. Biting her lips and giving in to a wide smile, she remembered the naughty dream she had last night about Kevin. ‘How could I think of him so much that he appeared right in my dream?' she muttered unconsciously. Wasn't she stupid to fall for Kevin? She thought. Kevin had also been involved with Natalie. Why was she always attracted to anyone around Natalie?! She thought further, giving a loud sigh. She was definitely crazy! Yes. If Kevin still had a thing for Natalie, she would be flung back into another period of heartbreak and desolateness. She would rather kill whatever she felt for Kevin now and save herself of such stress, but could she?.Heading a few steps forward, she stopped right in her tracks as she discovered Kevin had been standing, his hands was tucked in his pocket and his face gazing directly to the floor, switching it to the other side of t
72“I think we need to leave, your dad's food is getting cold!" She managed to say, she didn't want him to notice just how jittery and nervous she felt. He flashed a smile as he stood very close now, and Jane looked at him, admiring his beards and eyes. She couldn't stop staring at his eyes. His stare was still fixed at Jane. Making his eyes duller and licking his lower lips, Kevin leaned in more and more. ‘The effect Jane had on him!' Kevin couldn't dispute the fact that Jane was the first lower class girl he had ever fallen for, she would never had been his type before his days in prison but there was something about Jane! He couldn't help but appreciate the fact that a bit of his personality changed after his stay. Jane was fire!.Their nose touched now and they felt each other's breathe on their faces. Jane began to close her eyes tightly, exhilarated that Kevin made to kiss her. His nose grazed hers, and then went down her cheek, before she heard him whisper softly. “I'd try
Epilogue Could Natalie and her husband hide his surgery and his state of incapability from Louisa?. They indeed tried their possible best, but Louisa noticed in no time. They wouldn't remain in whatever state Natalie had mentioned, forever. Louisa Brown found out the very moment she stepped her foot in the Brown's home for a visit. Maurice's mobility took quite the time, solid six months. However, he began exercising his legs by walking around the garden in their home. Natalie, his loving wife, was always willing to help. In a month, Maurice began to walk, advancing in progress as the days went by. Additionally, Natalie birthed her twin babies the next month, and Maurice couldn't contain his joy. Two healthy looking kids, a boy and a girl which they both named, Maya and Maverick. The lovey dovey couple, Jane and Kevin, visited the Browns as they promised, bearing their wedding invitation card which they presented before they left their abode. Their joy was simply undiluted,
Chapter 1Natalie's POV“Are you in or not?" The man with a black mask on his face asked. He was with a gun pointed directly to my right ear.“I didn't know what response to give, I sat on my bed looking at him speechlessly.“You're taking so much time! I don't want my friends to find out"“Girl, give me the damn answer! I want to get down down right now, stop staring at me that way else I will..." He demonstrated his next action by swinging his right palm very close to my face, a slap, I totally understand what that meant. He laughed mockingly and licked his lower lips afterwards.I was in a complete dilemma. ‘Should I yield in to his advances?' That was the only way the document containing the address of my father's gold mine land could be protected. Atleast, that was the condition he gave me.The look in his eyes this time around made me shudder. Another male voice came up at the door “Scorpion! Did you find it in there?!"“The document... ermm... No" he responded. “You and Storm
Chapter 2“Shit!" The man who had fumed towards me exclaimed.“You caused this Scorp, how are we going to get out of here?"We all heard the sound of another vehicle breezing into the estate. I looked on, still holding my blanket tightly. ‘Did my father come with one of his business associate? Perhaps his closest friend John Fidell, who most times walked around with his armed body guards?'My heart began to thump, maybe this rapist and his cohorts would be caught and brought to justice. I felt a little excited, but then I remembered we were all in the second floor. It will take some minutes for my father and his friend to get to where I am and even if they got in, my father might not come to me. It was already very late and he must assume I would be fast asleep.The three men seemed very confused.“If you hadn't f*cked her we would have been long gone""Thump!" The man who defiled me punched him on the tooth, it fell and blood trickled on the white blanket I was still clasping. I beg
Chapter 3The next morning, I jerked out of sleep. I had had a bad dream. In my dream, my father did introduce me to a strange woman as my mom, he acted as though it was his only wife, Julie Escobar, but it wasn't my mom, she had a different face, one I had never encountered.I was perspiring heavily by the time I opened my eyes, muttering the word “Mother" continuously. I felt a hand wiping my forehead with a handkerchief, and holding me lovingly. “I am here Nat, I am right here with you" It was Maurice. He was at my bed side that early in the morning.His spectacle was placed on the cabinet, and his eyes looked very dreamy. It was obvious he had lacked a good sleep, but his dreamy eyes made him appear even more attractive. They seem to be seducing me at the moment. I looked away.“Good morning Maurice" I said.“Good morning beautiful" He replied.I went on to ask him the usual question about the whereabout of my father. He explained to me that he left before I had woken up, he nev
Chapter 4The Fidell's estate was located at South Esturnburg, a short distance from ours. I was marvelled at the vast expanse of their semi detached duplex when my dad and I drove in. The exterior was decorated with tulips, the lavender and purple hibiscus. A beautiful sight to behold.A middle - aged woman welcomed me in after I had knocked a few seconds. She was John Fidell's wife, Fiona Fidell, a beautiful gap toothed woman who stood a few inches taller than me. She was very jovial and accommodating and had introduced herself after opening the entrance door. A sign that my father had informed them about my arrival, a day earlier.“Welcome! Welcome! Come in child" She said with a broad smile, kissing my cheeks.I partly curtsied, accepting the offer.I sensed a strong scent of air freshener the moment I walked in. Right there, in the middle of their luxurious sitting room, a girl of about sixteen years old stood, arms crossed. She had a stark resemblance with Fiona, the only diffe
Chapter 5Two days later, the clattering of objects interrupted my call with Maurice. It was late in the afternoon, and Mr. Fidell had returned from work rather early. “How can you hide such a thing from me?!" That was Mrs. Fidell screaming at the top of her voice.I heard nothing in response, just a few whispers. Mr. Fidell's voice was obviously inaudible. I moved very close to the door to hear even the tiniest bit of detail of whatever the issue may be. The objects came clattering again.‘What the f*ck is happening?!"“Mom! Dad!" I heard an unfamiliar voice shout. “You guys should better get a grip of yourself, if you fight one more time, I am leaving the house!" The female voice retorted with finality.Mr. Fidell spoke with a calm voice. “I am not fighting, if only your mom would understand"“Understand? Seriously? To hell with you! You are a disgrace to this family!" Mrs. Fidell blurted out.Somehow, this event made me reminsce about my little happy family, and the blissful mom
