Irene* "Come to me, I won't hurt you." "Why should I believe you?" "If I wanted to hurt you, you wouldn't stand there alive until now." I heaved. "I like the fact that you're smarter than I imagined," I rolled my eyes, only my eyes on him. "Follow me in," He said and turned around and made for the house. I looked back at the gate and heaved again before following behind him, regretting as I went. I shouldn't have fallen for him. Now, I should have been sleeping peacefully on my bed and waiting anxiously for tomorrow's wedding ceremony. "You can sleep on the sofa or the bed, there are several rooms in here, you can make your choice." Afterward, he limped away and I felt guilty about his leg but he deserved it for being stupid. I took off my cardigan and substituted it for a pillow I turned around and found him, one leg on the first stairs and another on the landing. He threw a duvet on my body, "In case you are cold, goodnight." He said and walked away finally without t
A pleasant weather accompanied the day set aside for Jason and Nicole's wedding. The wedding venue was properly decorated to suit the class of guests and invitees that would grace the occasion. The number of people that were present at the wedding venue were more than the number of people invited. Couples from other cities were present, members of Nicole's family as well, and fewer people from Jason's family. They all sat around the high table with dressed is similar patterns. Mrs. Laura was absent, she'd already told her son that she was not in support of him taking in another woman especially if the woman was Nicole. She believed that her son was acting out of a spell without his awareness. The church's multi-purpose hall was now crowded, people of different caliber filled the hall and were waiting in anticipation. Their eyes steadied on the entrance from where the bride would emerg! The priest walked in from the room behind the stage smiling, he held his rosary in one hand,
The guards avoided looking at each other's faces as they didn't know the kind of expression they might meet if they dared to. "Sorry about everything, sir," Oscar managed to say looking at his boss through the side-view mirror. Stanley as well as the rest of the guards were too scared to look him in the face. He didn't respond to Oscar immediately, he was extremely mad and it was visible in his eyes. He shook his head and muttered something more to himself. "Let's get out of here," He finally said without looking at Stanley. Without hesitating, Stanley turned on the ignition and sped into the street leaving behind a thick cloud of dust. Lilian* "I hate that man called Jason." "Why, what wrong did he do to you?" "You know when you are in love with someone you can not have, then you suddenly begin to hate the person to nurse your pains?" "Uhumm.. okay?" "That's it." "You also had a crush on him too?" Irene asked with surprise. "Who else did?" "I know a good number of ladies
Lilian* As usual, the men stepped in with goodies for Jasmine's pa. The maid which was assigned to care for him stepped out to help them offload the goods. I marveled at how Mr. Jason still had these men fending for us even when Jasmine had fled from his house. Perhaps, he was doing these things so that Jasmine could see him as a good man. As soon as they were finished, they pulled out with their van. Mom covered the curtains and turned to me, "What happened? I couldn't find you in your room this morning, where did you go?" "To work, I went to work, I had a lot to do today." "Where did you go, Lilian? Bury those lies." Irene came out of her hiding, "Good morning ma'am," She greeted mom. "A beautiful morning to you my dear." I knew she wouldn't press on with her questions so instead, she turned to leave. "Mom," "Yes?" "Jasmine's missing." "Okay? Why are you telling me?" "She's pregnant mom and she's missing, her husband's chasing her." She let out a shrill laughter. "Wh
Mrs. Laura* I raised my face immediately and felt a crack in my heart. "Doc, you are not sure right, you are just guessing right?" "I know my job ma'am, if we do not carry out a clinical operation on her to take out that dead little soul immediately, it'll definitely affect the others, that was why I asked for her husband." I sat before him watching his face silently as I had nothing to say to him. My heart gathered so much weight but I held back my emotions since I was before the doctor. It was a nightmare for me, I was excited about having four grandchildren at once and now, I was left with only three. "When do we have to do this?" "Within two days, the baby died about 14 hours ago. The surgery must be done this week or else, you will have nothing left." "Alright, I'll get the husband today," "Good idea, I won't discharge her right away, she's not sound enough to go home. I'll advise you to visit her regularly in case she requires something." "Thank you so much doc," He n
Mrs. Laura* He dialed codes on the telephone and placed the phone over his ear. "Is this Shaw?" "Good, your attention is needed right away, are you in town?" "Alright, we're expecting you." He dropped the call, "He's on his way," "What do we do now?" Hart asked politely. "You two will have to be patient, you can meet with your daughter-in-law now. As soon as he gets here, I'll call your attention." "Thank you so much, doc. I have a question," "Go on?" "Should I still conceal from her the sad News about her baby?" "Of course, please don't let her know about it, she'll be greatly affected by the News." I nodded and walked out with Hart. "Are you really married?" "Umm ... Not really," "You are searching?" "Not at all, I'm fed up already with women," We were conversing as we walked down to Jasmine's ward. "Why, you had a bad experience?" "Something like that. I should be leaving now, Mrs, Laura." "Don't you want to meet your imaginary wife?" He chuckled. "Oh, well, le
At dawn, Irene arrived with a few accessories to help disguise me for the job at The Bang and Cum. It would be my first day at work and I would be meeting with different faces. Of course, I wouldn't love to be noticed by my one-time husband and as such, I needed to go in disguise! I got into my best gown, none of those he bought for me less he recognized me through them. So, I sat in anticipation before my magnificent mirror for Irene to paint my face. She equally carried fake hair, contact lenses, and many other things. I hope I don't get to seduce my so-called CEO with all these things. Well, the aim was to leave him clueless about my true identity. Fiona had said that he would be coming to work today for the first time after I got appointed. "Pout," Irene requested and I did. After she'd finished, I stood before my mirror and found it difficult to recognize myself let alone another. "Thank you, Irene," "You are welcome, tomorrow apply these in the same manner and I bet yo
Jasmine* On my way home from the city market, I met with something strange at my doorstep. Hart! He was waiting innocently as though we never had a clash in the past. He smiled a hypocritical smile when I drove into my garage. He stopped smiling immediately after I'd stepped out of my car to his view."Did something happen?" He asked feigning pity or something like it and I ignored him. Of course he knew I would.I walked passed him to the door to unlock it. "I know why I came here, talk to me please." He begged.I remained silent, opened the door, and as soon as I stepped in, he made to join me. "Have you lost your mind?" I hurled at him. "Listen to me, Jasmine, I know I have wronged you but I'm sorry, I've apologized a thousand times." "Are you sure it's up to that yet? And, did you say a thousand times? When? Get out of my house now!" I held my peace and he moved reluctantly towards the door. "Jasmine I..." I bounced my door at him shutting him up. He was one of those th
