Zia was slowly closing her eyes as Carlos carried her bridal style headed upstairs into her room.Halfway through the stairs, Carlos glanced down at his future mother in law." Ma'am, I would suggest that you give Zia sometime alone. I'll talk to her. This isn't the right time for her to get upset," Carlos said and didn't wait for her response before he disappeared upstairs.Getrude sat to the ground dejectedly. She glanced up at Zippy and gave her a dirty look. Just how could the two have possibly met?" Zippy..." Alvin started.Zippy threw her hands in the air dismissing him. She then headed for the stairs.The maids had left too, just Getrude and Alvin remained in the living room." Mother... didn't we agree that you won't meddle into Zia's life, why not let her get used to this life of hers," Alvin said." Can't you see that your sister has taken a lot of responsibility for herself. She is just twenty years old, I need to speak some sense into her head." Getrude said as she adjus
Carlos walked back to the room after ensuring that Zia is safely tucked in bed.She walked over to Getrude who sat dejectedly on the couch. She glanced up at him once before staring into space." Ma'am, just know that I'm aware of how you are feeling right now, but your daughter is all grown up now. All you can do is support her as she tries to find her way in this world," " Actually, she is just too young to handle everything, but somehow she's been exceptional at everything. The few mistakes, the frustrations she is feeling is all part of her growing up. I'm sure if you just listened to her, you might have the perfect relationship," Carlos said. He was so polite and cool. The dreadful side of him seem to disappear whenever he was with Zia, and now that he had in laws, he had to act to his best." Please take care of my daughter. I know I'm not the best mother, but I tried to make everyone happy, only to destroy my daughter's life. I hope she can be happy with you and the little fam
Zia Esstidy woke up and stretched herself on her cozy bed before kicking away the blanket. It was her wedding day. She picked up her mobile that she had left charging on the bedside table to look at the time. It was ten in the morning. She jumped out of the bed as she cursed loudly, why didn't anyone wake her up?Zia immediately picked up her bathrobe and jolted out of the room headed downstairs. The house was unusually quiet yet such a huge function was in an hour's time. Zia wondered why her bridesmaids hadn't thought of waking her up, even her make up artist wasn't around yet.She descended the spiral and beautiful staircase in haste till she arrived at the empty room. She was about to go down to grandmother's room when she noticed two figures sitting quietly at a corner close to the dining area." Grandmother, Asriel, what's going on, why aren't you guys ready? And why didn't anyone wake me up?" Zia asked as she rushed forward to her soon to be husband Asriel Gedor and her grandm
It was later in the afternoon that the car came to a stop infront of the huge villa. Asriel got out of the car and opened the door for Zia. He didn't allow her feet to touch the ground and carried her bridal style into the house. He had to do everything possible to impress his soon to be wife.Asriel took her to her room on the first floor and helped her into the shower. All the while Zia kept quiet and let him do everything for her. If this was the treatment she would get for being pregnant then she wouldn't mind.After close to thirty minutes the two held hands as they walked out of the room." The attorney is here, we have to sign our marriage today," Asriel said." Did you really get the attorney to come here my love, you must be abusing your powers," " It wasn't me dear, I had called for an appointment yet he offered to come here on his own." Asriel said proudly. Everyone in the entire country had feared the Gedor family, filthy rich and ruthless in their deals. They controlled
The two men stopped suddenly when they heard her voice. Asriel spring up the bed naked and picked a towel lying on the ground to cover himself." Zia let me explain, it's not what you think," " I can't believe I've been so stupid. You and my brother have been doing this behind my back," Asriel went to her and extended his arm to her which she hit away from her. Seeing the situation not good at all, Asriel hurriedly put on his trouser and shirt, Cai did the same.Zia began to sob loudly, her legs almost giving way, but she couldn't show any weakness infront of them." Sister please forgive me, I didn't think it would end this way," " I trusted you Cai, you are my brother," " Please forgive me sister," Zia was slowly losing her mind, she had to get out of there. She went out of the room and picked up her clutch bag before hurrying out to the elevator. Asriel ran after her but the elevator door closed in his face, he had to take the other elevator down. Cai joined him as they went
The entire villa was gloomy as Asriel and Drusilla sat facing each other . The two hadn't talked since they buried their child. Cai had returned home to her sister."What exactly happened? Why aren't you with her?" Don't tell me you two were at it again," " I'm really sorry grandmother,"" I thought you were better than this Gedor, how could you kill your own child? Didn't we agree that you would stop seeing that little brat, at least not until Zia gave birth," " Don't you think that this pains me too. If I could I would have prevented it, she was my daughter."" You better pray that this doesn't haunt you in the days to come," " That has been taken care of, she won't remember a thing," Drusilla's mobile rang, she placed on speaker." Speak," " It wasn't an ordinary accident. The car that hit her had been abandoned at the outskirts of the town at a dead zone. No traces left. It had to be an expert who did this," " What! Someone dared to attack me, kill my only child,"Gedor exp
Three months later, a figure lying in the cold somehow abandoned room slowly gained consciousness as her eyes flattered before she opened them up slowly adjusting to the bright light of the room. She glanced around at the surrounding and realized that she was at what seemed like a hospital. She tried to get up but her body seemed glued to the bed, she couldn't move an inch.She felt a kind of emptiness that she couldn't explain. Trying to remember what happened, her mind seemed to be blank as she couldn't make a tail whatever it was that was going on with her. There was this void in her that she couldn't explain. She opened her mouth to call someone, but her lips cracked in pain and her voice coarse that not a single sound escaped her lips. If she could only get a glass of water. Zia lay there staring into the space helplessly . She tried to remember anything, but nothing came forth, everything was just total darkness.At the next room two figures sat quietly facing each other. One
Asriel was ready for the meeting when his mobile rang." Grandmother,"" How are you my child? I heard that Zia is awake now,"" News travel really fast grandmother, yes she is,"" I hope everything is as agreed . You won't go back looking for her, especially now that I feel the change in you,"" Of course grandmother, it's better this way," " If you want I can find a perfect woman for you to sire a child for you," " No need grandmother, I'm alright now, I still have time to think about it. And grandmother please leave Zia alone. Don't meddle in her life, at least for the sake of our child together,"" Of course Asriel, as long as she won't be a problem to us both." The line went dead and Asriel sat on the couch exhausted. He felt regret and pain, why did he have to do that? Maybe an explanation and an apology would have been enough for her, to prevent any more complications in the future, but it was already a done deal. Asriel got out of the room and headed for the conference room
