3RD POV:“Are you there yet?” Ariana asked over the phone. Andrew had just arrived at the hotel where a bunch of police officers were standing in front of. Reporters, and even guests in the hotel were all standing outside watching as body after body was carried out of the hotel.There had been three people found dead in the hotel and Andrew confirmed that they were all guests which made things even worse. Half of the guests staying in the hotel had tried to check out of the hotel today but the detective working on the case had given strict instructions that everyone remained in their room at least throughout the morning so as not to interrupt the forensic team. Those who couldn't stay in their rooms were out of the hotel standing talking amongst each in their robes.“Yes.” Andrew responded to his wife who heaved out a sigh.“Everything is going to be okay, alright? I love you so much, take care of yourself, okay? And please keep me informed.” Hearing her was so much needed for Andrew
3RD POV:Lydia had stayed with the kids as she feared that someone could come and harm her family, Ariana had spent the night falling in and out of sleeping trying to get Andrew to bed but he didn't close his eyes except to blink and when laying down was getting too much, he moved to his daughter's room then his home office resisting the urge to smoke as it was a bad habit he had whenever he was stressed. His father in law had provided thugs as bodyguards to ensure his daughter's and son's family was safe. Mr Jacob Miller was in his home office despite the pleadings and requests from Patricia to come to bed. And by 12 midnight, they all received the message that an emergency meeting was to be held the next morning by 6:30 am. Luckily and unfortunately, Andrew's intel in the police station had given him some information which the detectives had been able to gather from the scene of the crime. The forensic scientists were still performing the autopsy so the cause of death was still un
3RD POV:THAT SAME DAY (HOURS LATER):The entire Miller company building was surrounded with police cars making passerby and soon reporters gather around the building but the police men stood by not allowing anyone to pass through. The employees at the company who had started their day with a new zeal to work and protect the image of the company they loved and worked for were perplexed and anxious to know what happened too.“What's happening? Was one of the executives attacked?” People talked amongst each other speculating and thereby resolving their own theories.Everyone's attention instantly reverted to the dead body being moved into the ambulance, the entire body was covered so no one could tell who was dead. The reporters, however, began to film all in a bid to be the first media company to publish this news and maybe get higher pay.Back at the parking lot, the forensic scientist was taking fingerprints, foot prints, all that was essential and they were also planning to conduct
3RD POV:THE NEXT DAY:There was something worse that could be added to the list of issues that the Millers were already facing.“O My Goodness.” Lorena closed her eyes rubbing her stomach as she watched the early morning news.Footage had been released from an anonymous source, displaying how food prepared by the hotel's chef was served to the three men that died and immediately after ate that they slumped and died.“According to the investigators, when they searched the CCTV camera, this was not found. And this comes to question a lot of things about the Miller company, did they delete this file to protect their image? And why were these three guests targeted or were there more people who died from the poisonous food prepared by hotel chefs and the bodies are still being hidden?” The news reporter casted and every friend and relative of the Millers were all perplexed. “Don't stress out, they are going to get to the bottom of this.” Lorena's husband assured serving a cup of tea then
NATHANIEL'S POV:“She left already?” I heard voices coming from downstairs as I just finished freshening up after checking on the kids about twenty minutes ago. I was amazed to see that Lydia had already bathed them and even fed them. She was the best mum and I knew I needed to remind her every single day because she was truly a super mum and it was one of the many reasons I loved her so much. I'm not even going to begin to discuss how amazing she is as my woman.I left the twins with a smile on my face as I saw they were comfortable and just relaxing, kicking their feets. They were watching paw patrol which was surprising because Madison had always refused to watch it, calling it a ‘boys’ show. But It was nice to see her taking her time and actually enjoying it.I stepped out of my room in a casual fit as I had cleared my meetings till 10am, so I could be with the kids till I had to leave. I was genuinely worried about everything going on. I had wrapped my arms around Lydia throughou
NATHANIEL'S POV:My chair was faced out where I could see the entire busy city which served as a reflection to my mind which was running non-stop. My phone buzzed in my pocket and I instantly picked it up,My Queen👑❤️I'm okay, Nathaniel. I promise. I received the food you sent, thank you baby.I had also been checking up on her non-stop while waiting for a report from my private investigator. But as I looked outside, I decided to just do something rather than waiting.I dialed my mother's number, the one she had used to call me ever since she got released from prison. After just a ring, she answered instantly with excitement, “Hello, son. How are you doing?”She was currently in another country and she informed me where but I didn't care too much so it had slipped out of mind.“What are you doing?” I asked and she remained silent for a second.“What..What do you mean? I texted you last week that I joined a knitting and book club in a new city which I'm thinking of moving to. Is ther
I Swear, Let Me Love You Again Written by Okeke-Eze Ifeoma Isabella (Omaisabella) "How are you today Mrs Lydia?" Nurse Nia, who had been in charge of the blood transfusion since we began, asked with a smile as wore her gloves. "I'm okay." I replied tiredly and shook a bit as she inserted the needle after looking for an easy access vein. "You seem tired." She analyzed me but I just shrugged it off. I was tired physically, mentally, emotionally but everything was somehow going to get better. I really hoped so. As we were about to start talking, Doctor Fian and my husband entered the room. I grinned just looking at him in his blue suit and trousers. He was just so handsome and many would describe him as having the attributes of a Greek god. Every time I saw him, I realized why I loved him. "Lydia, how are you doing? Have you been taking all your vitamins and iron supplements?" Doctor Fian asked and I nodded in response feeling blood leave my body. "How are you Nathan?" I asked him
"Look, they are all minor cuts." I moved towards her, showing him the cuts. "Nothing too serious and you made me give my blood away for just this?"Nathan knitted his eyebrow staring at my proof and seemed genuinely taken aback while his mother remained surprisingly silent."What is she talking about Aubrey?" Nathan asked and I was a bit elated he was finally listening to me."I..I don't kn..know what's she talking about..The cuts might be minor but the pain is severe. I haven't even had time to check them with my eyes, the doctors simply said they were deep and since I didn't want to irritate myself by staring at them." Aubrey stammered out crying in between. His mother instantly comforted her while Nathan's look changed from surprise to annoyance. Annoyance probably channeled towards me for speaking the truth."Like why would you even say that? I'm literally here on the hospital bed fighting for my life and yet…" She trailed off speaking to me, more tears fell from her eyes."Don't
