As Shirley left the house that morning, she thought about her unpleasant encounter with Niklause. As the event played in her mind a fresh feeling of rage flowed through her again. Only God knows what he was thinking.As she reached outside the huge gate she saw Sarah coming out of a black jeep. She remained at her spot waiting for Sarah to reach.“Hi Shirley”. Sarah greeted politely.“Where have you been”? Everyone at home was worried about you”. Shirley said moving her face from Sarah’ to the now disappearing car.“I was at a friend’s place”.“Why didn’t you call to at least tell us that you were spending the night”.Sarah raised a brow at her and in quick motion moved her eyes to Shirley’s neck. “I know it’s none of my business but you should have informed us”. Shirley said.Sarah still kept her eyes glued to Shirley’s neck. Seems like someone or rather two people were busy having fun instead of worrying about her.“Sarah, Sarah.” Shirley snapped. “Are you here at all”?.“Y-e-s I

Adon tried to get a hold of Sarah her phone was switched off. He couldn’t help but worry about her. The argument between them played in his head like a movie and he sighed loudly wiping beads of sweat from his fore head.“Worried aren’t you”.He turned around see Shirley figure wrapped in a huge hoodie. He turned back staring into space again. “And pained.. Pained to know that she’s with that bastard, that lying, cheating bastard”.Shirley knew that he was angry, no, raging; he was raging but was trying hard to control it“Hey, language. I’m still a kid you know”. Shirley said taking a seat beside him.Adon chuckled a bit.“I’m sure she’s fine”. Shirley said giving him a reassuring smile.Adon still wasn’t convinced, a look of worry laced effortlessly in his eye balls. “But what if she’s sleeping with him, I won’t be able to take it. My heart won’t be able to take it”.Sarah burst out laughing. She knew he was a softie but didn’t know he could be this soft. But really he looked tough

Sarah arrived the address Paul had sent her. Before her stood a mighty mansion. She couldn’t help but wonder why Paul had sent her this address or did he make a mistake with the address. She was about calling him when the gate opened. She came face to face with a huge man wearing a suit and dark shades. He stood erect like a professional bodyguard. “My boss; Paul Pierre await your presence in the house. Allow me lead you in”. He asked sounding like he needed her permission. Sarah stared at him for a while, what if this man was here to harm her. Even if he kidnapped her there was no way she could fight him because he stood twice her height. One thing she was grateful for was that she had her pepper spray. In case of any emergency. As the bodyguard led her inside the house, all her former thoughts became clouded by new ones. Who on earth owned this beautiful house. Everything in the house from door designs portraits and furnitures screamed money and style. It’s impossible for Paul to

It took him a lot of courage to say

Shirley arrived the building and waited in the lobby as instructed by a nurse. Her heart pounded against her chest in the most violent manner. She waited a while and she couldn’t spot her mother anywhere. Instead the nurse who had earlier told her to wait in the lobby appeared from the corner. “Where is my mother”? Shirley asked as the nurse got closer.“I’m sorry Miss Shirley you won’t be able to see your mother today as instructed by the doctor”.“But why I haven’t seen her ever since she was admitted”. Shirley said in frustration.“Actually someone came to see her today and they got into a really big fight”. The nurse looked around before whispering. “The argument triggered really bad reaction and we had to sedate her”.“What who is this visitor and why don’t I know about him”. Shirley got really confused by this revelation. They never had any friend, the only people they were very close with are Charlotte and James and they had no business with her mom.“Can I see a doctor; I ca

Carrying a wrapped doll, Tabitha sat at the eating area of the mental hospital where she was receiving to treatment to improve her mental health. She shielded the doll from the invisible sun she alone saw in the ceiling of the building. “Baby little boy don’t cry, baby little boy don’t cry. I love you and you love me baby little boy don’t cry”. She sang to it. “I don’t know why your big sister Shirley hasn’t come to see us. I can’t wait to tell her that you’re alive, that I found you.
