Weak. Tired. I drag myself out of Brenden hospital dodging from people to avoid being seen by anyone. I don't know but I think Benson's watchful eyes won't be monitoring me since I was in the hospital.They might think I will still be in deep sleep so probably feel lackadaisical towards their duties.Outside, the sky is quite dark with only the man made electric bulb and street lights serving as a source of light to the dark knight.I walked to the gate, luckily the gate was open.Ignoring the pains surging through my body I Snuck out through the gate dragging my sore body until I was far gone from the hospital premises, I sat down on the floor waiting for a taxi.I wasn't made to wait long, I saw a car coming. I can't sure if it is a taxi or not. I stood up flagging it down until it stopped right before me. Only then did I realize that it is, a Mercedes Benz car.The driver wine down the glass,"hello beauty. Where are you going?""Crescent hospital," I answered."How in", I quick
Walking past the workers, acknowledging their greetings with a nod, I journeyed to my office stopping briefly to stare at May's office; well, her office when she was still here, I sighed when I saw someone else sitting on what used to be her chair back then. It has been long, five years seven months two weeks three days nine hours twenty minutes and twenty-five seconds since she had run away. All efforts I made to find her went abortive, I couldn't find her or even get any information on where she could be. She just vanished to the thin air leaving no Trace behind. She doesn't want to be found. Who will after going through all she went through in my hand? I was a monster, I ruined her. I tortured her emotionally, physically, even psychologically. And yet I didn't realize until it was too late ,Forcing my face away from there I began heading to my office, opening the door. I saw my grandpa relaxing on my chair with a frown on his face."Grandpa, what are you doing here?""It's a goo
Now everything makes sense why I couldn't find her , she moved to SA. A country I could never think of looking for her. It is also the reason why all her past records before five years were hidden from everyone, and nothing about her was known.But what I don't understand was how she suddenly became rich, a business tycoon to be specific. Who made her rich? Or she isn't the one. But the anger racing in her eyes, the balls of fire rolling in her eyes as she gaze at me confirmed everything, that she is the one. She is May.Besides, nothing changed except that she looked more mature and beautiful with elegance and inclusiveness. All other features of her remains.Taking her eyes away from me, she sat down ; clearing her throat she began"I would like to apologize for keeping you all waiting, as it was, there were some certain things I needed to take care of before coming here. It isn't something that can wait. "Pausing, glancing around briefly,"everything has its level of importance, the
A heavy knock on the gate got me running down stairs, I met the security coming to me as well,"whats going on?""A crazy man is outside the gate , ma'am. He demands to see you, he persists, and wouldn't stop knocking. He had refused to leave unless he met with you." He informed me."What's his name?""Benson,""What!" My eyes widened as I stared at him. How the hell did he find me? And why's he here? I can't let him see my kids."Can you chase him away?""No, ma'am ,""Call the cops, tell them a thief is in my house," with that I went back inside. Getting in i saw my kids coming down,"no babies, this is not time to be down go back upstairs,""Why mummy?Is it because of the person hitting on our gate?""Yes,""Who's he?""A monster who shouldn't be here." I responded seething. That monstrous demon wants to cause me unnecessary headaches. Why would he be hitting on my gate ferociously like that? Is not like I am owing him. How could people intentionally get on others' nerves?The conti
My breath hitch. My eyes widened horrifically as Benson look down to gaze at my son;"Ahhh!"a loud scream followed by a scurrying feet and a laughing voice echoing in the whole place as he ran out of my side, He's gone before I could say jack. Her sister had poured a bucket of water on him while he ran after her to retaliate. A loud sigh of relief flowed out of my mouth as my son vanished from Benson's prying eyes. He looks at me"you have kids?"Should I tell him, or should I deny it?"Yes, I adopted two kids after I left. So,""Oh,"I can see the disappointment in his face. What was he thinking?To pepper the whole thing I added,"you weren't expecting me to have kids for you after you killed my unborn child, huh?" Blinking back my tears to hide my emotions, I put on an emotionless face. A face devoid of all emotions, all feelings, all expressions."I know you lost the baby, I'm sorry," frustratedly, he added,"move out of the past let see what the future holds for us.""Us?"I scoffed,"
The meeting was finally over as I was rushing back home to meet my kids. We are having a family time today and Dr. David says he's in town and he is coming over to spend time with us. I'm very happy he will be coming. It has been so long since we have had him around. Back there in SA he does come once in a while to spend time with the kids and I especially the kids who loved him so much. They use his company as a male figure in their life to hide the absence of a father. There's had been times when my kids was insulted in school for having no father, I was coming to pick them up luckily Dr David was in the car with me when I heard some kids making jest of them and calling them bastard, says they don't have a father .That was way before we came here. I was hurt, broken seeing my kids being humiliated by their peers but before I could make a move, Dr David was already out protecting my kids like a father should. He told the kids that he is their dad and so they should never call them
**David**May's kids had gone to bed as I sat alone now with her in the sitting room. She was sipping a very hot tea, says something about her being cold."How have you been since May?" I asked, interjecting on the silence which had existed ever since we put the kids to bed."Fine." She answered with a distant look. There seems to be something bothering her. Her eyes were distant as her face contorted in a little frown,"are you sure?" I pursue,"Oh, yeah," Her eyes swivel on me briefly before she takes it away staring at space again."If you said so," With that I let the earlier pregnant silent reign between us again as we both stayed alone in our thoughts. After sitting for more than fifteen minutes with no word spoken by anyone just left to think about nothing or something which was bothering us, I couldn't handle it anymore. I couldn't stay still,I was becoming restless. The main reason why I came to Chicago was to claim what belongs to me. May is mine, mine alone and I can't le
The sight before me was tearing me up, making me emotional. Seeing the way my daughter was interacting with her dad couldn't hurt me more than I have been hurting, no! It hurt so fucking much, more than the hurt I've been feeling for years.I watched as he liked her up from the grand raising her above to the sky as they shook their body to the beat of invisible song. The broad smile on their face couldn't hurt less.I was being torn apart seeing them. It is like a dagger stabbing through my heart repeatedly, consistently with no relent.Closing my eyes and reopening it I saw him now trying to keep her on a swing chair. After he succeeded he began to swing her around as my daughter smiled like Never before. Most times she's quiet, yes , she got along with Dr David but I've never seen such happiness in her even when she's playing with him. It was genuine and lovely, enchanting . They look so good together like a father and daughter who came to the park to have fun. It is as if they
