The moment bullet landed on my arms I screamed out in pain, the pain was too much and couldn't be controlled.I didn't know what exactly to do at the moment. "Cry" I didn't have an iota of strength for that. Blood started gushing out from my hand staining everything I had on.Nat in shock just stayed with his mouth opened as he watched what was happening to me. I turned back to look at his uncle who still had smiles on his face. The moment out gaze meet, he gave me a stern look, that I could interpret that he was not yet done with me. The blood flowed from my hands for a minutes before Nat ran to help me.The minute he stayed watching was the longest minutes of my life. It was quiet and yet scary.I couldn't tell what he had going through his mind and if he was just going to stay there and watch me believe to death. I tried to cry to show how painful it felt but coolant because there was no strength left in me to even fight for myself or show how I presently felt The moment Nat
I observed him for a while and noticed he was dozing off. "He did probably be tired," I whispered under my breath with my gaze still fixed on him.I heaved out a deep breath and closed my eyes pretending to be asleep so I could hear all the conversation that would go on in the room.As much as I was badly hungry, I still needed to act up to get whatever information that would be naturally hidden from me. NAT POV.The moment I got back to my room I laid on the bed restless. I couldn't tell what exactly came upon Ashely and what made her act the way she did."Anyway, none of that was my business. The only thing I was going to ensure happens to her is that she serves all the punishment she would need to serve. So that the next time such a thing cross her mind, she wouldn't even entertain the thought talk more about wanting to run" As much as I was beginning to get myself back together, I still felt, telling Minister Falcon about what happened would only make things worst. He hates ash
"You shouldn't say it's what brought me to your house. I came to check up on you." He bellowed with his fave curved into a frown. "Pardon me for inspiring on getting the truth" I immediately responded ad wore a smile on my face. At this point I could tell that ashely was in more danger than I could imagine, I was shocked and couldn't tell who he got to know that she tried to run away. "Have to unaddressed her?" He finally asked after a very long minutes of silent. "Address? What do you mean?" I questioned? "What punishment is she to serve. The crime she committed is too much of an offence to be forgiven. If you don't do something about it now, she would repeat it again and who knows the next time it happens you won't be fortunate enough to get her" he spoke in a very concerned tone. "Yes I have given her a punishment that she wouldn't recover from in a very long time. And I think that is enough for her to learn her lesson" I respond.With the look on his face I could tell that h
"They are taking so long to come and it's making me suspect something fishy happening" he scolded with his face curved into a huge frown. "They would be here soon," I responded. He didn't look like someone who was going to listen to what I had just told him and be cool. I needed to look for something that would distract him."Let's move to the waiting room" I probed."Why do I feel you are hiding safely from me?" He questioned abruptly "Okay, that's not true. I am not hiding safely from you, they are probably on their way, and in no time you would see them, but first let's get to the waiting room" I bellowed.This time I was tired of petting his annoying question. Without hesitation, we walked together toward the waiting room. He sat with his hands wrapped around his body, I could tell that he had something in his mind but what I couldn't tell was the exact thing he had going through his mind. Whatever it is was going to find out in no time. While still trying to settle with the
I stayed calm just observing everything he was doing, and paying keen attention to his body and hand movement. I have known him for the longest time and all the things he is capable of doing. After several minutes of complete silence between us, I finally decided to close the unannounced meeting by sending ashely back to the dungeon where she was coming from "You would go back to the dungeon and complete your punishment there" I instructed and threw my face towards another direction to avoid her gaze on me. "No!! The penalty for going against this number one rule is death." I turned swiftly back to my uncle who at this point looked as though they had poured a bowl of boiling fire on him. I couldn't believe he was trying to make decisions for me in my own house "All of this madness has to stop already. And who so ever told him about this would have himself to blame the moment I get him" I bellowed, and paid attention to what my uncle was going to conclude on."There is nothing g
The door banged open, producing a very loud sound, jerking me out of my sleep. I had dozed off on the chair without knowing when I did. I rubbed my eyes with my hands gently to take away the sleep from my eyes when it dawned on me that someone had entered the ward where I and Ashely we.I jerked up immediately from the chair and headed towards the door, but then halted the moment I heard the masculine voice of minister falcon.I let out a loud sigh before walking back to my chair. He was the last person I wanted to see at the moment. Coming to my house and not deciding to disrespect my decision made me, even more, angrier than I would have been on a normal day. I relaxed back and watched as he walked slowly towards Ashely's bed. He observed her for a while without uttering anything. "You caused all of this " I bellowed, gazing at minister falcon who didn't even look as though he was sorry for what he had done."I did that for you, for the both of us" I wonder what you see in thi
"doctor you need to come now, you would have to come now. She can't breathe" I bellowed in panic with my voice going overboard. "Mr. Nathaniel you must calm down, you won't solve any problem this way. Everything would work out just fine. She would be fine" The doctor responded trying to calm me down, but at that point there was nothing to be calm about. Ashley can't breath and the fact that she was gasping out for breath was a major sign that things were not alright with her. "I don't want to calm down. I want you to come with me now" I bellowed and dragged the doctor by his coat running towards the direction of the ward where Ashley was.I am very sure that anybody who sees me would think I am head over heels in love with ashely. But then I can't say for a fact that, that is the exact truth. I think I am just scared of losing her carelessly. In no time we got into the ward and just a I left her breathing, she was still gasping out for breath. The doctor rushed out to her imme
"She is my wife and I am the only one in the position to decide what happens to her, where she stays, and what she does at every point in time. You don't have the right to dictate what I do with her" he bellowed. " I don't care whatever reason you have to say right now. All I know is, I am taking her home and there is nothing you would do about it" I said. That was the final thing I had to say to the doctor. As much as I could read sense in what he was saying, I didn't still care. Ashely would run away and never come back if I allow her to sleep in the hospital aloneShe had done that several times and would still do it again if care were not taken. I darted my gaze to look at the doctor who was still in shock about what just played out. " if anything happens to my client, I would make sure I tell the world that you were the cause of it. Now I see why she wants to run away. Because it doesn't make any sense to me. She is ill and needs to be taken care of. If you were traveli
