The next day...7:03pm.Blake's POVI brushed my hair in front of the mirror but I suddenly stopped halfway to think about my life. I've not talked to my mum since yesterday. She wouldn't even want to talk to me.I gave my school a thought. Everything must have spill by now. I'm going to loose my new post, my reputation with the teachers. My enemies! Jadesola, Shile and Tinashe.I shrugged off my nervousness and moved out for school. I met my mum at the dining just in front of me. I went dumb and try to mutter something."Good morning mum"She ignored me and took her car keys. I smirked and went over to the table. Blaire got worried but could not talk."Mum I'm talking to you!" I protested still unanswered.She suddenly turned back at me and lashed me."Please! Don't mum me a

Third person narrative technique.Tiana kept changing positions uncomfortably in the hospital's reception. Her whole body trembled and ached physically and emotionally. She never knew her mum would leave such vaccum in her heart.Her sky blue shirt was stained with blood all over. She had tried to take her to the hospital herself but she was too heavy. She eventually ran to the gateman but Patricia was noway to be found throughout the afternoon.The doctors drove her out of the room and assured her she'll be fine. But the look on her aunt's face, Auntie Chioma, her mum's younger sister proved every word Blake's mum said wrong.She took her phone and tried Blake's number. Her cries welcomed him when he picked it."What's wrong? Talk to me Tiana!" He cried from the phone"My ..mum.. was.." her tears was more than her words."Your mum was wha

This chapter is dedicated to all motherless children. May the Lord continue to be your shield your strength and uphold you. May he breastfeed you with strength to face and fight it till ever.Blake's POV"You're really strong. Inject strength into me to bear all situations into me" she said gently and slowly, pulling her gown up to reveal her fresh thigh."Hey! What do you think you're doing?" I smiled at her, almost pushing the chair backward in nothing."Oh I'm sorry. I was just teasing you. Now can I get an answer to my question?" She said, crossing her arms folding her arms.Immediately, I felt I need to break the news to her just then. There'll be no perfect time to do that more than this time. She seems to be in a perfect mood to even try to seduce me."The greatest thing that makes us stronger when we

Tiana's POV.It's time to talk."I..I came home yesterday to find her unconscious in the room.. So I... took her the hospital" I shuttered at first but corrected myself at the thought that everything I'm saying is being recorded and my tone of confidence would be noted.I looked up at her after I discovered she wasn't responding. She was just staring and smirking at me. My nervousness grew bigger and I adjusted on the chair. She then took a huge breath and stood up."Okay then, how many of you live in the house?" She asked, wearing a slight frown to note the relevance of the question."My mum, Patricia the cook and I" I replied."Really? When we got to your house yesterday, we could not trace the whereabouts of Patricia, do you have any idea of where she is?" She questioned intelligently."No"

Tiana's POV The dusty road path made me to scrunch my nose and eyes in irritation as the car drove on the main road of the village.I was in my usual, hoddie and joggers. I was never fashion crazy when nothing happened to me, let alone in a mourning mood. I just packed my hair in a bun and NY face was nothing to write about, it was make-up blank. Just few minutes ago, we saw some malnourished children ;big stomach and head with tiny legs, dusty and looking uncared for on the way. Their eyes lingered through scorching sun at our car in awe.They stopped immediately when they sighted the car from afar and their their playing cans with tensed faces and waited for us to pass by.Children at the age of 2-4 among them had clothes that barely reached their knees. Not deliberately from my judgement , those clothes looked like like they've been wearing since they were infants, but couldn't change them.The one that got to me most was two boys that were wearing a top that barely reached their
