JADEOnce I arrived at my door, I looked around for the two bodyguards I had stationed outside but they were nowhere to be found.I was about to dial their numbers when they suddenly appeared from behind me and I jumped in fright."Sorry, ma'am," they told me. "We were trying to be inconspicuous and spotted you the minute you arrived.""That's okay," I replied. "It's a good thing I called you both here. I have moved up our plans. We are leaving tonight.Just give me a few minutes and I'll bring out my three children. We will go to the safe house for now and leave the country before dawn."I opened the door and went into the house while trying to be as quiet as possible. My phone suddenly began to ring and I hung up the moment I saw Max's name on the screen.I put my phone on silent mode so I would not wake Agatha or Aurora up. Max began to call again but I ignored his call and went into my sons' room.They were already asleep and I had no choice but to wake them. Agatha was in one of

MAX I opened my eyes and looked beside me but Daisy was no longer there. I recalled that her clothes had been on the floor earlier but seemed to have disappeared."Daisy?" I got off the bed and searched the house for her, confirming that she had fled.I quickly dashed into the bathroom, showered briefly, and put on my clothes before leaving the house. On the way to Daisy's house, I recalled how she had kept insisting that she didn't want any intimacy with me until she had gotten to know me well.I had gone to this length only to get a taste of what she had between her legs and it was undeniably worth it. She reminded me so much of Jade. It had been more than five years but even then, I kept seeing Jade's face while making love to her.According to my initial plan, everything ought to have ended after I got what I wanted but I wasn't through with her yet. After Jade, no one else had made me feel the way she just did and that qualified her to be by my side a little longer.Stacy had tr

JADE I opened my eyes and realized I was in a hospital room. I looked around me and saw Max sitting by my bedside.I immediately sat up as I recalled what had happened the previous night. I was still in the same clothes I had on when I slept off and my heart was thumping so fast. Max had caught me in the act, what was I going to do?"How do you feel now?" Max's voice was etched with concern.I thought about what to tell him to get myself out of the situation I had woken up in. How could I be so stupid that I ended up falling into my trap? It was a big blow to my pride and everything else."What happened to me?" I decided to feign ignorance as Max's reply would provide me with the perfect story to come up with."You don't remember?" He asked and I shook my head. "I'm not sure I remember, everything's a blur."He sighed, "Well, you suddenly slumped after drinking the cup of coffee you gave me last night. I was so worried that I quickly rushed you to the hospital.The doctor confirmed t

JADE "First things first, come on and have your bath, then we can proceed from there." As I spoke, I led my sons toward their bathroom.It was important for them to change into new clothes before Max came or Aurora woke up.I filled their toothbrushes with paste and instructed them to brush their teeth like I taught them.After that, they took their baths, I wore them dresses and quickly added some makeup to their faces to hide some of their facial features.Once that was taken care of, I led them both to the living room with a first aid box in my hand.They both stood in front of me and watched as I took out a pack of needles, cotton wool, plaster, and a few other items."Mummy, what do you want to do?" Phyna asked.I stared at the clock on the wall, it was a few minutes past seven and I had been gone from the hospital for more than forty minutes. "Quick, I need to prick one of you with a needle," I told them. "I don't have much time. Please one of you should help mummy."Ella took

JADEI looked at where my phone was, got up, and turned on its recorder.Afterward, I turned my attention back to Aurora and said, "It's okay, Honey. You can tell me.""I'm afraid of my mummy," she said.Seeing the fear in her eyes, my heart broke as I wondered what my daughter must have suffered at the hands of Stacy. No matter what, I needed to find out what it was.I spoke softly and gently coaxed her, "It's okay, Honey. You are safe here. I won't hurt you and I won't let your mummy hurt you, I promise. Tell me the truth and I won't tell anyone."She hesitated for a while but I waited patiently until she began, "My mummy was angry with me because I accidentally poured her cup of coffee.Aunty Agatha was not around so, my mummy took me to her room and burnt me with her cigarette. When I began to cry, she told me sorry and bought me ice cream.She asked me not to tell anyone otherwise she would burn me again."My mouth fell in shock as my eyes brimmed with tears, "Did you tell your d
