WHITNEY'S POVI walked down the hallway and entered my room. I glanced at the time, it was a quarter to six. I opened the drawer and picked up my hairbrush. I stood in front of the mirror, hurriedly brushed my hair, and left the room. I walked briskly to the living room and saw Sarah mopping the floor. I greeted her and she responded. I quickly went to the storeroom, pick up my working items, and joined Sarah.As I was working, I was expecting Luna Viola to come to the living room and supervise us as she has been doing lately, but till I finished work for the day, she did not come. A couple of minutes to seven, I was done with my work. I returned all the items I used in working to the storeroom and went up the stairs feeling exhausted. I got to my room and quickly had a shower. I changed into a yellow blouse and a black flare skirt and went to the kitchen to get my breakfast. After I finished eating, I sat on my bed and thought of my conversation with Luther. He had already made
WHITNEY'S POVFor some seconds, Henry and I were silent. I was sobbing as I watched him looking sad and staring blankly into space. All of a sudden, the sadness disappeared from his face and was replaced with a fury which startled me for a moment. "I will make sure that Luther pays for what he has done to you. How could he have even thought of raping you let alone perpetrating it? When I heard that he raped you, at first, I was worried about the psychological trauma the rape could cause which I fear could affect you for a very long time. Never did it cross my mind that it could result in pregnancy...""It never crossed my mind as well that I could be pregnant. I was just bitter and angry with Luther for defiling me," I said with an emotionally laden voice."Please, stop crying and get hold of yourself. Have you decided on what to do?""Yes, I have," I replied. "So, what do you intend to do about it? I guess you want to terminate it, right?" he asked as he stared steadily at me."
HENRY'S POVAs I left Whitney's room and headed to Luther's room, I was burning with rage and took long strides down the hallway. I just could not comprehend why Luther is so heartless and has no iota of pity for Whitney. I will give him a piece of my mind today, I fumed in anger.I got to the door of Luther's room and rang the bell. After a couple of seconds, the door swung open and Luther stood by the doorway. He gave me a cold stare as my eyes swept over him.He was wearing a green T-shirt and stonewashed jeans. On his neck was a gold chain and on his feet was a pair of white sneakers with green stripes. It was glaring that he was going out. "Luther, I want to speak to you in private. Can we talk in your room?" I said with a tone of anger."Why are you sounding angry? Anyway, sorry, that would have to be later. As you can see, I am dressed up. I am going on a date with my girlfriend.""What I want to talk to you about is urgent and very important. You can call your girlfriend on t
HENRY'S POV"Gosh! You blatant liar! How can you say you have not seen Whitney for the past two weeks?" I asked with an incredulous expression. "Yes, I have not seen her," he reiterated."Will you shut up! First, you denied that you did not rape Whitney. Secondly, you denied that you are not responsible for her pregnancy and now you are denying that she did not come to your room and that you haven't seen her for the past two weeks. How can you deny all that without flinching?" I asked with disbelief."I am not lying...""Shut up! I will see how far you will go with this ridiculous pretense. Anyway, since you have denied everything you know you did to Whitney, I am going to remind you of something you told me a couple of weeks ago.""What is it?" he asked staring steadily at me."A couple of weeks ago, you called me to your room in the afternoon and you confessed to me that you raped Whitney. You asked me to beg her on your behalf because you want her to be your mate when you become t
WHITNEY'S POVI was lying on the bed in my room. I have been trying to read a novel since Henry left my room. However, I couldn't concentrate as my mind was in turmoil. I recalled how angry Henry was when I told him about what Luther said when I told him about my situation.There was so much rage in his eyes when he told me that he was going to confront Luther and the way he stormed out of my room got me worried. It's over thirty minutes since Henry left my room in anger and he told me he will come back to see me after he leaves Luther's room. I tried to imagine how his confrontation with Luther will be. Thinking about how ferocious Luther could be when he is angry and how equally ferocious Henry could be when he is furious made me feel agitated. I knew without a doubt that they would have a heated argument but I was worried that it could degenerate into a fight. Considering both of their temperament especially when they are angry, there is a high possibility of them fightin
WHITNEY'S POV For a moment, Luther stared at me with a mixture of shock and fear on his face which made me feel a little better considering my mind was in turmoil concerning my pregnancy. I know he believed that I don't have any evidence to prove that he raped me, so, I could understand why he looked so shocked and afraid. I turned to look at Henry and there was a surprised look on his face. His eyes were filled with questions begging for answers which I was willing to answer but not in the presence of Luther. "I know that you are just trying to hoodwink me into believing that you have evidence but I know you don't have any," he said with a smirk."Luther, do I look like I'm trying to hoodwink you? You have messed up my life in no small measure and I am devasted by my pregnancy but I have no choice but to face my fears and try as much as I can to surmount the mountain that you have put before me with your wickedness. I will be the biggest fool alive if I am bluffing consider
WHITNEY'S POV"Hello, Dad," I said and averted my eyes to Henry who was looking at me sadly. "Hello, Whitney. I saw your missed call and that is why I'm calling you back. I hope you are alright," my father said. "Not really," I replied."What is the matter?""Dad, I will like to see you and mom as soon as possible.""Whitney, are you alright? You are making me anxious," he said with a worried tone. "Dad, I can't tell you over the phone and that is why I want to see you and mom. Please, can I see the two of you this evening?""Of course. After this call, I will call your mom and tell her of your request. I guess your mother and I will be done with our work by 9 p.m. So, you can come to my room by 10 p.m. "Alright, dad. I will come and see you by 10 p.m. Till then, bye for now," I said and hung up the phone. I looked at Henry and we made eye contact. "I can see that you have made up your mind. I guess I should respect your decision. At least I have tried to make you change your mi
WHITNEY'S POV"Whitney, what are you doing here?" Martin asked with curiosity. "I want to speak with dad," I replied with anxiety."He was silent for a moment as he stared at me. I have never seen you come by this time to speak with dad. I hope everything is alright.""Yes, everything is fine," I replied. "How is your health now?" he asked."I feel much better.""Good to know. I brought some fruit for you. Should I put them in your room?" he asked as he dangled a heavy-looking paper bag before my face. "Oh, thank you. Yes, please put them in my room. I don't want to take it with me to dad's room.""Alright. I'm exhausted. I will drop the bag in your room and go to my room at once and have a quick shower and then go to bed," he said as he yawned loudly."Alright. I will see you in the morning. Good night.""Good night," he replied and headed to my room with the paper bag in his hand. I watched him open the door to my room and entered. After a couple of seconds, he came out of the
