Lydia's POV:"I killed him easily after telling him to come with me to carry the gifts of food I bought from him in my trunk. He happily followed behind and kept thanking me over and over again, if only he knew he was going to meet his demise. The hard part was now putting the body in your carry but after seducing the security team and diverting their attention, I went to your car. Luckily your car was not packed in CCTV's view, that was the end of it. Easie Peasie, Juicy Squeezie.” She finished and a single tear dropped down my eye as I thought about everything she had said.“O My Goodness, don't cry, it's not yet time for you to cry. I know I'm awesome but you don't have to.” She spoke mockingly and with anger and pain, I swallowed a lump in my throat and questioned, “WHY? WHY DID YOU DO THAT AND EVEN THIS? WHO IS PAYING YOU?”“Why am I doing all this? Such an important question.” I didn't miss the shift in tone as she walked closely behind me.“Well, I did all this because….You are
3RD POV:A FEW WEEKS LATER:It had been almost a month since the kidnapping of Lydia and a lot had happened in that period of time. When Lydia was kidnapped and she had seen a recorder beneath the down, it didn't belong to Mary, on the contrary it belonged to Jeremiah. He had personally flown to the city after his conversation with Lydia as his protective instincts arose at the sound of worry lingering in Lydia's voice. But while he was in the airplane, he and Aaron had been communicating and his heart broke when he landed and discovered that Lydia was kidnapped. But he swung into action at once.Mr Jacob Miller dialed all his contact in all the force which was why the FBI got involved and with the help of the two brothers, they pinpointed Lydia's location right in time though Jeremiah had arrived minutes before and ensured that he recorded all Mary was saying as he knew so well how cocky criminals got and they often start spilling. Then he went back outside in the car with Andrew a
I thought I would never be able to see them again…but I did and I'm going to make sure I live my life doing what makes them and me happy and loving all three with my whole heart.*************JUDGEMENT DAY:Mary had been found guilty on all charges and her lawyer was just a regular nonchalant state lawyer who was barely getting paid, he didn't even put as much effort into defending especially after finding out she was indeed guilty and all evidence was all spelt out.He just told himself, there was no point.“Counsels rise.” Both Mary and her lawyer rose to their feet as well as the state prosecutor. The female judge then asked for the jury's conclusion and she read it before then speaking.“This court finds the defendant guilty in the murders of the four men and the attempted murder of Lydia King. The court sentences you to death…..” The judge was still speaking but the members of the court as well as the journalist present all muttered amongst themselves pleased with the outcome.A
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
Lydia’s povI took a look at the mansion one last time. I felt extremely pathetic that someone like me would let myself be played with like this.I should have sensed that. All these years, he never bothered to know me more and even the maids got more chances to see him than me. How could I be so naive to believe that such a cold man would ever treat me differently?No, he is not that cold. It’s just his tenderness was never for me... I was just a nobody…"Well, well, looks like you're finally leaving?" A voice filled with mockery came from my back and when I looked back I saw Dia, she is one of the maids. She glanced from my suitcase to my face. Lomi, another maid, stood next to her."Awww…I wanna say we are going to be so hurt and miss you but that will be a very nasty lie. If you go, who will do all our house chores?" Dia added."Is everything okay Mrs Lydia? Mrs. King asked us to pack your things." Lomi asked with sincere worry in her tone. I bit my lip to prevent myself from bre
NATHAN'S POV:Sitting in the large room with eyes focused on the financial report while the CFO presented. I could hear him speak but I wasn't listening. I flipped through the document and ensured the finances were in place. My phone vibrated from my pocket rather than holding up till the end of the meeting to respond or check it like I usually do. I unlocked my phone in haste expecting a message from a particular someone who I haven't heard from for a few days now.I snorted in annoyance when I saw a message from one of my business partners. I dropped my phone on the table and snapped my eyes shut. Opening my eyes, I met everyone staring at me and the room dead dropped silent. Rolling my eyes at them, I wordlessly motioned for him to proceed."Are you alright sir?" 20 minutes later, the meeting came to an end. I nodded 'yes' in response to my assistant's questionAs we walked through the door, I took in the impressive view. The office was spacious and airy, with tall windows that o
NATHAN'S POV:I was completely exhausted and drained and was about to head home after a long day. I had visited Aubrey and surprisingly the doctors had said she was slowly getting better and that added some light to my day. My happiness died down when I remembered it was all because of her that I lost Lydia and I still haven't heard a word from her."Hello?" I picked up my phone with an attitude while sitting in the back of Range Rover as the driver started the car."Watch your tone." She spoke sternly and I pursed my lips not really in the mood to hear her go off. My mum had been calling and texting all day and I hadn't replied because she always seemed to have the wrong word to say to set me off."Your sister is back! So let's have dinner tonight and I don't want to hear no buts." She hung up afterwards and I sighed deeply.My little sister, Rachel, had been out of the country for a while spending time with her boyfriend who I had not met. Rachel was literally my mum's twin, she loo
