Janelle2:00pm….Sitted on a wheelchair by the window, my hands were folded across my chest as I stared down at the busy buzzing streets.Bella just stepped out of the room bearing bad news, the guy escaped before she could get to him, I heaved a deep sigh my gaze still on the street, why the hell was I messing everything up ? Just when I thought everything was working out for good, now this ?! They had taken out the bullet from my thigh and they had it all wrapped up neatly in bandage, although I still limped while I walked and needed a little support, the pain was minimal and according to the doctors, Adil inisisted that I stayed in the hospital atleast for tonightI heard the door slowly creak open and I turned around to look at who it was.“Oh my God, Janelle,” Enzo muttered as he walked in and shut the door behind him, walking towards me in small sprints.“I heard about your accident, I’m so sorry,” he muttered as he slowly squatted beside me.I finally turned to face him, tear
Adil I walked out of the ward, seething inwardly. I exhaled and started to walk down the hall when I saw that Enzo had left. It was actually good for both of us because I was not planning on taking another glance at him after acting like I was the third wheel, in my own marriage.As I took a turn heading for the hall that burst into the main entrance, my eyes fell on Enzo. Talk about the devil.Enzo was specialized at ruining my day, my life to be specific, he had started again today but I had too many things to work out, today was not going to be that day. Keeping my eyes straight ahead, I walked past him, only to stop a few feet away when he uttered something.“Friends? It’s going to be more than that soon”I stopped in my tracks, my fists folded as I turned to face him. He pushed off from the wall and casually strode until we were a few foot away. His lips curved into a smirk, his eyes gleaming with mockery.“Let’s see…” he trailed off, a brow raised.“How about a bet?”I uncurle
Hospital Janelle.“Oh my God, oh my God, I’m so sorry,” Alyssa stammered hurriedly speaking as she walked into the room, my lips curved into a small serene smile as I sat up on the bed with a small smile, I pushed the chair by the bed a little closer to the bed and signalled that she sits there.“It’s nothing serious,” I whispered, she was still staring at me in pity as she slowly took her seat, her lips still slightly apart.“Look, it’s just a small injury and it’s healing up nicely,” I muttered, she nodded slowly as she made herself comfortable on the chair and looked up at me.“I have Bella working on your visa, you should leave the country as soon as possible,”“You’re going against your agreement to not spill anything, it’s no longer safe for you here,” I said to her, tears streamed down at her face as she gently reached out and placed her hands in mine.“It’s DLT,” she whispered sniffling in deeply, she moved closer to me and her voice dropped like she was trying to make sure n
Janelle.“Thank you,” I muttered to Adil as he took off his jacket and draped it around my shoulder, we were sitting side by side on the balcony, with our glass of drink staring into a distance.Silence filled the air, everyone preoccupied with their thoughts, I gently raised the cup to my lips and took a sip from it.“You know, Janelle,” Adil began, his voice calm and tentative,“Most times everyone thinks you’ve got your life all together, planned, figured out and going good, but in reality you’re almost just a mess,” he muttered, I slowly turned to look at him, he slightly bent his head backwards and took a sip from his glass.“Yeah,” I whispered“All the time,” He slowly turned to me, our gaze locked and it remained that way.“Just struggling, barely holding up but you still just have to show up every single day,” I continued in a whisper.“You barely have any time for yourself, It’s tiring but you literally have no choice!” He raised his glass to his lips and drowned all of his
Janelle.I sat back in Adil’s Limousine, my hands loosely wrapped around my chest, my head resting on the window, I was finally taking a step backwards to reflect on everything that has been happening with me in the past few weeks.It was an overwhelming period it is still an overwhelming time for me but I didn’t really think it was going to take such a huge toll on my health, depression?! I never thought I could ever be diagnosed with that.“Do you think that doctor has the right to diagnose me with depression?! I didn’t even say anything to him,” I finally said out loud turning to look at Adil.“I spoke with him,” he simply replied and my brows further creased in confusion,“And?!”“You fainted a whole lot of times, and ..” “I fainted just twice,” I muttered cutting him off, he sighed deeply before continuing what he had to say.“He wanted to know why it was so consecutive and I couldn’t convince you to see him, I just told him everything happening with you, coupled with tests fro
Author.Becky’s Office“Promoted to President?! Arghhh!” Becky growled as she threw the glass of wine she she holding against the wall, the wine glass shattered into pieces, spilling all of its contents on the floor and sending glass pieces flying everywhere.She hadn’t been herself ever since Adil was promoted, she tried to comport herself but she could only manage for so long in public.She stared at the mess she had just created and released a loud scream, thankfully her office was sound proof, it perfectly muffled her scream.She slowly unballed her fist as her feautures became unusually calm, the door slowly went open and her assistant - May walked in, her eyes slowly went wide as she gaze at the shattered glass on the floor and spilled drink.“Don’t just stand there! Get someone to clean this mess!” She yelled at her, she flinched with a small nod as she turned around and dashed out of her office.Shortly after the door opened and a Janitor walked in, she ignored his greeting a
JanelleMy eyes locked in on the person at the door, my grip involuntarily loosened from the knob as I stepped backwards slowly, with dropped jaws.Even if I was woken up suddenly from my sleep, I can never forget his face, it was the guy that sedated me, the one that escaped and we have been looking for, my lips went open and shut at loss of what to say, I gently reached for my back pocket took out my phone, dialed Bella’s number my gaze still on him and placed it on my ear, she picked up on the first ring, “Bella,..” I called and before I could complete my statement I saw Adil reach out from nowhere and grabbed the phone out of my hands, he ended the call and slowly looked up at me.“Let’s talk,” he whispered, I cleared my throat and raised my brows at him, “No, we don’t negotiate with criminals!” I retorted my voice swirling with defiance as I stared at him, he just held a straight face not breaking eye contact with me also, my phone began to ring and I just knew it was Bella, I
Next day, Wednesday Morning…“Good Morning,” I greeted Adil as I walked into the living room, he was having coffee scrolling on his phone at the same time, he was fully dressed and ready to leave, he turned his phone off and placed it in his pocket as he drowned his cup of coffee in one go.“Morning,” He replied as he walked up to me and placed a small peck on both of my lips, oh wow, okay, not only are we greeting we’re pecking cheeks too, interesting.“Dada!” Tehilla called as she ran down the staircase, I already had her dressed and prepared for school, Adil gently stepped away from me, he squatted to her height and she ran straight into his arms, she’s such a delight, and the relationship Adil had with her is so beautifu to watch.“You look beautiful this morning Sugarplum,” he complimented tickling her sides generating a loud chuckle from her.“Mama dressed me,” she replied and his smile widened,“And did you say thank you to mama?!”“I did,” she muttered, he did an high five
