"She's gone completely round the twist," mumbled Esther and then shouted,
"Auntie!..." and went after Mrs Wabua.
"That pest, berk!" Jina muttered beset by the unpleasant occurrences which are definitely her own cause and now felt so annihilated and beset that the animus towards Esther now spills out inside her heart, but she has to be beside herself and bury it up for her benefit even if it sucks.
Richard's eyes lagged in the direction that the boastful Mrs Wabua had taken as his mind somehow doubted her capabilities.
"I marvel at what my dear friend is up to this time," Richard said, his face coarsened by sadness.
"I no longer trust her. She has changed." Jina noted disdainfully and sulked.
Mrs Wabua did her magic on Mercy with great aplomb; with herbs mixed with the ghee, she had stretched Mercy's bones and tried to assuage the pain. Although there wasn't an immediate visible improvement, she was convinced that within a short time, the latter would be able to get on her feet. Esther's presence had been a great help because her inquisitiveness about the skill had gained her enough knowledge and made Mrs Wabua determine that she would be able to treat Mercy where the need arises in case she didn't come by every day to do it herself."Auntie, we will have to take her to her room," Esther suggested after degreasing Mercy's injured part."Yes, I guess it would be comfortable for her liking, isn't it Mercy? or do you want to spend a night on the floor in this lousy corridor?"Mercy k
Jina fidgets with words as she tries to control her trembling hand without success. She had a strong feeling that Esther had overheard her conversation with Tony minutes ago. "Ah...Esth..ther, has Mercy returned from...I mean, Mrs Wabua…" She stops and gulps, trying to control her anxiety. She was in such a brainstorm that anyone would have noticed her because she was behaving weirdly. "Aunt, you have a fever. You are shivering." Esther reckoned to notice the sudden expression. "Am I?" Jina asked, clasping her hands together behind her back. "Yeah," Jina felt embarrassed and made an excuse that she was so worried about Mercy's condition.
Despite her shrewdness to devise solutions in such circumstances, Jina was so stuck this time that it seemed so impossible to stop the lurking calamity; as if her mind had been attenuated and could hardly put anything together. Much as she was trying with relentless effort to destroy Esther as best she could, the latter was always favoured by luck, and for a moment, bang went the zeal for Jina to fight on, yet she couldn't beat a retreat.She had thought that with Tony, she would easily incapacitate Esther and send her to her grave, but now realised that she was way off base. Instead, Esther was gaining popularity.Richard realised that his wife was letting out a succession of heaves. He had lived with her for long to comprehend that something was wrong with her; this was her usual mannerism especially when she was upset except that now she didn't whine, but st
In the swim of things, neither Jina nor Richard dared to ask about the details of the phone call or the letter. Richard had disguised the caller as one of his employees, Julius, when actually it was Julie. He had supremely managed to talk with her without leaving any trace of suspicion and Jina was satisfied. Julie had informed him that she would make sure to meet him in the same room where they last met, which was the exact room that Jina and Tony were supposed to meet at midnight as the latter had indicated in the letter.Esther prepared dinner earlier than usual because she had to take care of Mercy; her hip needed another stretch with Mrs Wabua's magical concoction of herbs and ghee, bearing in mind that she also had to take care of Mercy's special meals now that she wasn't okay.She was washing the crockery when Jina came into the kitchen, her
The wail of despair that Jina uttered aroused tension in every which way and awakened Richard's warped mind instantly. His heart tweaked and he leapt off the bed zooming to his wife. For all the world, she was bowling as if she had lost a loved one. A twinge of fear twirled his heart as he watched his wife cry ceaselessly for a reason he couldn't think of, her naked bottom kissing the floor."What the hell has happened to my wife? She was so happy a moment ago and now…"His mind was tucked away in confusion, and then crouching down in front of her, he lay his hand on her shoulder and asked, "Honey, what's wrong?" Jina recoiled with a tut-tut in her breath. He lowered his face in agony, spasms of fear languishing his soul.Suddenly, he saw his cell phone lying on the floor near Ji
Esther ran to Richard who was kneeling on the floor unable to locate his thoughts. If not for her, Jina would have shoved the knife in his skull on an impulse and sent him to his maker. It was by mere luck that she was still awake when she had something go bang and came hurrying to check."Uncle, are you alright?" She said, examining him. It was definite she was nervous and frightened. He seemed to have completely lost the plot. She turned and met Jina's gaze. The latter was incredibly angry that Esther wished she hadn't looked at her hateful eyes. After muttering some indiscernible utterances, Jina briskly covered her body in her bathrobe, clicked her tongue in resentment and flounced out of the room.Seldom had she ever got scared of Jina at that moment. She was now aware of the extent to which she could go once she got angry.
WARNING!!! Contains explicit scenes. Please read at your peril.Jina held her breath and closed her eyes not to see Tony's face as he climbed the bed excitedly to rejuvenate himself with the rare opportune moment of the pleasure that he had been served on a golden platter contrary to what he had earlier anticipated.He quickly peeled off his shirt and unzipped his trousers and drawing near her, Jina half-opened her eyes and tears welled out. "Richard, you made me do this. Why did you betray me?" She thought and much hatred shrivelled her heart. Tony's eyes squinted at the glowing body of a pretty woman of great influence and he drooled over her. As he lowered his fat belly over Jina, she flinched and for a moment felt like pushing him off because she was disgusted by his unpleasant beefy body which seemed like a buffalo ready to mount her. Tony heav
It was 7:10 am when Esther decided to open her eyes, not because she had been asleep, but until now she had been struggling to wink. Throughout the night, her mind was wrestling with boundless thoughts. In her opinion, the serenity of the mansion seemed to have withered since the minute she witnessed Richard and Jina at parallels, the latter ready to slay her husband. That the adorable couple could all of a sudden turn against each other seemed a delphic and an incomprehensible matter to her. All she undoubtedly knew was that things wouldn't be the same again henceforth.In her heart, she evinced that Richard and Jina would patch up their issues as soon as possible because their misunderstandings were bound to affect the kids.Nevertheless, there was one question that she could hardly expunge from her mind; she had seen her aunt enter Tony's room in the night a
