Clang.........
The sound of a metal hitting the floor could be heard as a body flown across the table. Standing up Eleana chuckled with a bloody mouth; "So it has gotten to this right? Bringing your mistresses home to stay in the same house with your kids!!!! Are you even human Dane?!!!"." You can have your fill outside I don't care but this.....this....this is the last straw". Eleana said in an enraged tone."Human?? Ha.... You dare to talk back at me woman? You sure have gotten bold, how dare you!!!? This house belongs to me, I am the man of this house and you have to abide by my rules"." I say who can and cannot enter this house woman and not you, this was just a warning cause the next time you dare interrupt my pleasure time with my baby I will "......"You will what!???? Eleana interrupted."Huh,,,,beat me? rape me? or take me to those whore house and make me watch you pleasure yourself ? What else can you do?"..."You're testing my patience woman, don't push me"....."Mummy, daddy are you guys fighting again?", a sob came from the tiny voice of a little girl no more than seven years of age, she stood at the door looking at her parents with tears in her eyes.Wiping her bleeding lips Eleana cleaned the tears off her eyes and walked to her daughter as she squatted."No baby,, mommy and daddy were just talking a bit loudly, did we wake you up?".Unconvinced her daughter stared at her and raised her little hand to touch her mother's lips, "You're bleeding mommy, you don't have to lie to me I know who did it".Holding the tears that is trying to spill from her eyes Eleana said, "Oh baby, this..this is just a little cut I got when I slipped and fell, your dad even helped me up. Sorry we woke you, now off to bed you have school tomorrow and we don't want you to be late now do we".She starred at her father for a while and then looked back at her mother. "Okay mommy, goodnight. I love you okay", Ginny said as she pecked her mother on her cheek."Goodnight night baby, mommy loves you more", Eleana kissed her on her forehead.Ginny walked back up the stairs and Eleana looked back and saw her husband sitting on one of the kitchen chairs as he stared at her."Why are you staring at me like that, you want to continue fighting?"."You are too boring for me to even beat anymore,, come serve me dinner". Dane said as he relaxed on the chair and cross his legs."Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha", Eleana burst into laughter and the tears she has been holding back burst out like flowing water."Have you finally gone mad, what are you laughing for?". Dane asked as he looked at Eleana with a scrunched face.Eleana finally stopped laughing and looked at Dabe weirdly, "Mad?? Mad?, Yes,, I think I am mad, I stayed in this excuse of a marriage for six years, I bore everything for six years Dane. Yes I am mad, I watched you sleep with girls around town , yes I am mad, you made me watch while you Pleasure yourself with those girls and I still stayed, yes I am mad, you turned me to a housewife and a punching bag and now I even let you bring them to our matrimonial home, YES I AM MAD!!!!!!!". Eleana screamed loudly."I have been mad for six years to bear these insults and humiliation thinking that maybe, just maybe one day he will change, when his daughters grow up he will change, they will change him, I WAS MAD!!,,,but not anymore, i can't do this anymore". Eleana said as she slumped on the floor."Are you done with your ranting, I have to say the performance was nice and cool but I am really hungry now and you know how angry I get when I am hungry, don't test me". Dane said clearly irritated and without any feeling of remorse about what she just said."I can't do this anymore Dane, I'm tired". Eleana said in a weak voice, her despair and pain could be felt but the man next to her felt nothing .Dane finally sat up and looked squarely at her, "You know you could have avoided all this if only you had given me a male child, but no, all you could do was give birth to a bunch of useless girls that can not inherit my business, if only you had given me a son all these would not have happened!!!"."So just stop with your sob story and get me some food, when you are done let me know, oh also cook for Sarah she hasn't eaten anything since we have been busy all day, you know", he said as he gave her a wink.He stood up and walked past her as he headed up the stairs."Let's get a divorce". A meek voice muttered.Dane immediately stopped in his footsteps and turned around abruptly, "What did you just say?",Standing up and straightening her clothes Eleana looke directly into Dane's eyes and said much more clearly and boldly, "Let's get a divorce, you want a male child which I can't give you and you also have a new lover so we have no reason to be together, let's just get it over with".Dane looked in disbelief at Eleana, this woman sure has guts now she dare ask for a divorce. "Impossible, you are going now where. We are married for life, I will never let you leave, never ".Scoff! "Why, we clearly can't stand each other, just let me go".Walking quickly to her Dane grabbed her hand tightly and looked very angry,"Read my lips Eleana, We..Are..Not..Getting..A..Divorce!!!!!!", he said with gritted teeth.Having been numbed with all the pain she has ever felt, Eleana wriggled her hands out of his hand and said," I don't want to stay with you anymore Dane, not anymore ".Dane slapped her hard across the face, "Just try and see if you will win in court because if you do push through with this just know that you will never see your precious daughters again, I will make sure of that". Dane said as he angrily walked up the stairs..Eleana stared at the empty hair in silence as she looked lost and dejected.At that moment a little figure came out of where it has been hiding and walked to Eleana and gave her a hug..With a face full of Surprise, Eleana stared at her daughter in shock, "Baby were you standing there all along?"."Yes mommy, I heard and saw everything too, don't worry mommy I won't let daddy take us away from you. I will stay with you mommy".With all the hurts and pains Eleana bend down and hugged her daughter tightly as she sobbed silently..Georgina Patted her mother's head just the way she would do to her if she is sad, "That's okay mommy, don't be sad anymore, it's okay".Eleana let her go and looked at her, "Yes baby, this is the last time, mommy wouldn't cry anymore. From now on mommy will just live you and your sister and take care of you guys okay, we will all be very happy soon baby"."You will be happy too mommy, as long as you are happy we are happy too" Georgina said as she wiped her mother's tears."Ha! Awwww, my baby is sooo sweet, yes mommy will be happy with you guys"."Alright, it's time for bed okay. You have to go to school tomorrow so....mommy will read a story for you", Eleana said as she lifted her and took her inside."Okay".The next morning, Eleana was up early and got her children ready for school, she prepared ths things they needed and took them to school herself without waiting for her husband to wake up. It was still early so Eleana had to wait for sometime before heading to their school. She took them for a jolly ride and drove back when it was quarter past seven as the school opens at seven-thirty. She parked the car and they all came down. Eleana carried Isabelle, her second daughter on her arms while she held Ginny's hand and led them to the school gate. The teachers were already at the gate welcoming the pupils, the gate was less crowded as it was still early. Eleana put down Isabelle and walked her to her teacher. "Goodmorning Mrs Dane, you are quite early today". Isabelle's teacher greeted her. "Morning Miss. Yeah, we decided to be early. Alright Belle, say hello to your teacher". "Hello", Isabelle repeated in her tiny childish voice. "Hello sweet Isabelle, you look more beautiful tod
Eleana arrived at a simple looking house on the outskirts of the city, it was where she and Gabriella lived before she got married to Dane.She parked the car at the side of the road and walked towards the building. The walkway of the house was covered in leaves and the place looks deserted."Is she no longer living here?", Eleana thought.Seeing the depilated figure of the house ,Eleana decided to ask around. She walked to the house across the street and stood in front of the door.She looked at the door for a while as she contemplated whether to knock or not. Finally coming to a conclusion, Eleana knocked on the door."Who is it?". The voice of a woman could be heard from inside the house. The door opened and a middle aged woman walked out."Hello, who are you?".Eleana stared at the woman in front of her and couldn't help but tear up.-She has gotten a few wrinkles, I can't believe I'm standing here after all these years-.The middle aged woman look intently at Eleana as she tried
In a mansion somewhere inside the city arguments could be heard from a tiny voice as she continuously repeated the words;"Grandma I want to go home,I don't want to stay here anymore . I want to meet my mommy!!", the little girl ranted as she held the hands of her unaware little sister."Listen to grandma Ginny, you will meet your mommy soon. You are just staying here for the weekend okay?- So come and take off your uniform and then we can go play, how about that?". The old lady asked with a smile as she bent to Georgina's height and patted her head.Georgina looked at her grandmother and appeared convinced; "Okay grandma, but can I call mommy, she will get worried if she doesn't see us at school or at home and I am sure daddy won't tell her we are here, so can I call her... please?!!", she pleaded. "Alright, let me get my phone so you can call her", The old woman said as she got her phone out of her bag and dialled Eleana's number........Eleana was on her way to Dane's parents ho
"Why did you call me here ma?", Eleana asked"Why are you so impatient?". Mrs Diamen said as she sat down and gestured for Eleana to."Let's see, your son nearly blinded me and he also sent my kids away without my permission. I had to literally run out of the house so he wouldn't catch me and by now I be as far away as possible from here but you have something to say and wouldn't talk so forgive me if me being impatient bothers you". Eleana spat all these out in a rush as she tried to calm herself down.Mrs Diamen sat there in silence and calmly waited until Eleana was done with her ranting. "Are you done?", she asked and Elean nodded. "Good, I can't say serves you right for not leaving when I ask you to cause I know that the most painful thing a woman can experience is the hatred of her soul mate"."I presume you had a fight before coming here and now you want to take the kids away from him right?". Mrs Diamen asked."Why? Trying to stand up for your abusive son?"."No, but he is m
At the same time, the children were busy eating the biscuits served by the housekeeper in the living room and Georgina wondered what her mother and grandmother might be talking about."What do you think they are talking about Aunty Elisa?", Georgina asked as she chewed on her biscuits quickly."Manners lady Georgina, we don't want you choking on the biscuits now do we?", Housekeeper Elisa said as she tried to avoid the conversation. "Hm, you didn't answer my question", Georgina probed as she looked at the housekeeper in curiosity. "I do not know what they are talking about lady Georgina", She replied as she poured some milk into the children glasses."How come you don't know? I thought adults know everything "."Haha!! I assure you lady Georgina, adults do not know everything", Housekeeper Elisa said with a slight chuckle. "Hmmm, maybe they are talking about us. Are they talking about us?". Georgina threw another question again."Not likely lady Georgina, why don't you take your gl
Eleana looked at the paper Mrs Kim gave and saw the address. It was an estate, one of the most prestigious estate in the city. Usually only celebrities and business moguls at the top of the chain could afford it.__I wonder what job Gabby does now__.Gabriella was always the fun type. She took everything the way they came and always have a flair for the dramatic, they both grew up together in their town, . It was half past five when Eleana got to the estate but she was stopped at the gate.They were two guards inside the shed stationed at the gate and one of them flagged her down."Good day Miss! Can I see your pass?", the guard asked as he looked at her with unfamiliarity. "Good day!. I don't live here but I came to see someone"."Okay, What is the person's name and house number?". The guard questioned. "Her name is Omotola Gabriella and her house number is 25A". Eleana replied as she looked at the paper in her hand." Okay, wait a second". The guard informed the other one and ask
Gabriella was at a lost on what to do..She stared blankly at Eleana and couldn't muster any other words, no one would blame her as she hadn't seen or talk to Eleana for three years now."Hey, I know that you are really surprised and probably shocked to see me but it's really cold out here in the rain, so if you don't mind........", Eleana said shivering in the rain."Gabby? Gabby?". Eleana called as she touched her.Coming to her senses, Gabriella finally responded; "Yeah, yeah, get in".A deafening silence reign inside the car as it moved forward and only the patter hit of the rain on the glass numbed the silence for Eleana. Eleana kept on staring at her friend. She was clad in casual wear, a pair of blue jeans and a white top and she donned a white cap.. Her light brown hair sitting gently on her shoulders and there's that, the thing she missed most, the dimples on those cheeks that shows with every little facial expression. Eleana didn't realise she missed her friend this much un
Eleana came out of the room all dressed but couldn't find Gabriella anywhere. "Gabby?, Gabby?". She called out her friend's name but didn't receive any response .Could she have left? Why didn't she let me know?. Eleana then walked to the living room and found a note on the table:"Didn't wanna disturb you so I left after tidying up, food is in the kitchen as you know and you can check the fridge if you want any juice or fruit to go with that. You will see a blue card and a yellow card on the table. The yellow card is a pass, you would need it since you are going to be staying here for a while , it is for non residents in the estate. The other card is a credit card the password is 2345, use it to get anything you want and don't worry, you can pay me back later. Have fun.. PS: I ordered for a cell phone and a registered sim for you , so that jerk can't contact you. It will arrive at 12 noon or early. Love, Gabby. [Sigh] you're always full of surprises Gabby. Eleana dished her foo
