Dinah's Final Leave
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56DINAH
Today, she was leaving the shelter finally.
The past days had gone by like a blur, and it had been filled with her filling so many paperwork’s, and bading her good-byes to most of the matrons who had helped her with her deeds in the mansion.
She had already arranged where she was going to stay, and it was with Mikey of course.
Sometimes during times like this, wards and children would beg Mrs Patrick, the head matron for some more months so they would be able to arrange their leave, but Dinah didn’t do such.
When Mrs Patrick had submitted the final paperwork this morning for her to fill, she had given the woman a smug look, and with so much egoistic pride, she had filled the form in a rush, and signed in all the required places.
Over her dead body, would she seem weak, or beg for another day to stay at this suffocating useless shelter.

ARIEL(A WEEK LATER AFTER DINAH’S LEAVE)Ariel stood up from the bunk bed she shared with Sara slowly, as she swiped the answer button on her cell phone.She had no idea why Sara’s boyfriend Christian was calling her, but she had this nagging feeling that it was about Sara’s birthday which was a few days from now.She knew she had given him the idea, of planning the surprise birthday for Sara this year, since the year was a leap year and as such her birth date which fell on the last day of February was going to be on the calendar, so there was no escaping it, this time around at all.Also that day, just like they had planned Christian would finally reveal the good news of Sara’s leave from the orphanage to her.At that subtle reminder, that she would be left here all alone with Daniel maybe in this small town where she had come to call

DINAH’S POVHer phone was buzzing in her pocket.Grumbling and dropping the bottle of beer she was drinking, she stood up kissing Mikey on the cheeks, and giving an excuse she left the noisy bar, going outside to answer her phone call.Taking the phone out of her pocket, she swiped the answer button and said, “Tessa…”She could hear Tessa’s squeal on the other end of the line, and Dinah smiled surreptitiously.She could tell that her best friend was missing her already, and for a while her heart swelled at the outburst of affection.“How are you doing?” Tessa asked her finally saying something, and not even waiting for her response she added again, “Lord knows how much I miss you D…”“I miss you so much Tessa.” Dinah said, and she really meant it.
A Billionaire's Regret Doubts About Seattle
SOME WEEKS LATERTWO DAYS TO SARA’S BIRTHDAYSARA“Hello, my love.” Christian’s voice came on the other end of the cell phone, and Sara blushed embarrassingly.She looked around the almost empty garden at the shelter, wanting if someone was nearby or eavesdropping, but luckily for her no one was around.The garden was looking almost deserted, and Sara could attribute this to the fact that it was already getting late, and most of them would have rushed into the shelter’s home by now.Sara had also been preparing to go inside, when Christian had called so she had decided to stay back.There was no way she was going to put off answering this call, when she knew how much she had missed him.A smile appearing dreamily on her face, Sara cleared her throat softly, and then answered, “Hello

SARA“Whirrrrrrrrrrr…”Sara stood up from the bed with a start, and then she gasped loudly as torrents of confetti and flowers showered down on her little bed in the shelter.“What the hell?” She questioned, doing her best to clear up the air, but still yet the confetti showered on her until it finally stopped and Sara bathed in flowers and pink paper drops looked from her bed to the small crowd gathered in front of her in the room.“What’s going on here?” She asked frantically, her heart already beating as she started to think if she had done something wrong.“Where’s A…” She didn’t finish her next question, because the crowd started making way for someone
A Billionaire's Regret All Round Preparations
SARA “Oh my goodness Sara you look stunning.” Oh she looked stunning quite alright, Sara could admit it herself, as she stared at the full length mirror, of the boutique store they were in. Today had been such a hectic but memorable day for her, and as she stared at herself in the full length mirror, maybe the stress was paying off, even when she didn’t have a hand in this. After the small birthday celebration that had been organized by Miranda and Ariel back at the orphanage, Sara had no idea that another bigger party awaited her, and here she was dressing up for the supposed event that Christian was hosting, like he’d told her over the phone earlier today. A shiver running down her spine, as she gaped down at the halter neck emerald wine colored dress she was putting on, a smile on her lips too, Sara blinked twice hoping that this was a dream but it was not. She was here with Ariel, in this quite expensive boutique that Christian had rented out for her, even when she had veheme

SARA “Where are you taking me to Christian? This is the second time you are blindfolding me and doing these things that I don’t like and…”“Shhhh…” He said to her, his hands around her petite arms, and he patted her gently, as if wanting to reassure her, as they kept on walking on wet grasses.“Where’s Ariel and Daniel and…”“Shhh… You are one very inquisitive being aren’t you?” He said with a chuckle, and she just grumbled.She was more than curious, and now she was regretting how she had not taken to note their destination when Daniel had picked them up from the boutique.She had been busy with her small cellphone, playing some games and trying to burn away the anxiety and nervousness that flooded her whole body.Instantly, when Christian had come to pick them up from the not so familiar road where the cab had dropped them off, he had placed a chaste kiss on her cheeks, and then twirling her round as he assessed her dress while she blushed at his compliments, he had taken her unawa

DINAH’S POV “Arghhhh….” Dinah half yelled, throwing the expensive bracelet that Mikey had gotten her, into the lake nearby.“Arghhhh…” She yelled again, and this time she proceeded to ruffle her knotted hair, scattering the pins and bands.She was so fucking angry.So, so angry, and the unruly image she had stuck in her head of Christian and Sara dancing, just didn’t want to disappear, and don’t felt like breaking something, destroying anything at all, or maybe picking up a knife and stabbing that bitch, in the stomach or even…She had seen them earlier, at the birthday party that Christian had planned for the bitch.Tessa had told her about it, and texting her the location of the boutique where Sara and her pathetic friend had been, Dinah had gone there, and still stalking them, she had followed them to the scene of the party, in one of the bikes that Mikey had given to her.She had tried to be discreet, trailing after Ariel and another guy, who seemed to have followed a different r

A Billionaire's Regret The Evidence
SARA“I can’t believe you recorded everything Miranda said last night.” Ariel uttered in awe, and Sara just smiled ruefully.“I did record it. I brought out my phone when she was talking, and I put on the sound recorder. Everything she said is in here, and I hope to convince Christian with this proof today.” As she finished speaking, she saw Ariel’s facial expression change from awe and surprise to something indescribable, and her heart clenched.“Don’t you want me to go talk to him?” Sara asked softly, blinking back the tears that gathered at the pool of her eyes and beneath her lashes.These pregnancy hormones! Damn, but they made her want to cry every second, and she just couldn’t hold it back. Sniffing, she shrugged her shoulders and waited for Ariel to say something but her friend was keeping mute.“Ariel…” She drawled softly, her hands going to her cheeks, wiping incessantly.Instead of replying as expected, Ariel just took a step towards her, pulling her in for a hug as she wr
A Billionaire's Regret Final Goodbyes
CHRISTIAN ‘The take-off would begin in roughly ten minutes. Passengers aboard are advised to fasten their seatbelts, and get prepared. Phones should be switched off too, for the time being.’The announcement from the train speakers blared loudly, and quickly doing as they were told, Christian proceeded to fasten his belts and that of his siblings before relaxing a bit.This was the first time Christian was boarding a train that required him to use a seatbelt, and it felt strange to say the least.However nothing was more strange to him, than not having Sara by his side today. Finally, he was leaving for Seattle and the shadowy feeling of sorrow and regret clouded over him as usual.Gripping the seats tightly, and staring ahead as the train let out a whistle, and heavy grilling sound before starting, Christian closed his eyes murmuring a brief prayer as the machine began to move.He opened his eyes briefly, shooting his mother who was by his side a brief glance and a warm smile, his
A Billionaire's Regret Miranda’s Confession
SARAStaring lazily at the ceiling up ahead, Sara blinked her eyes twice for the umpteenth time that night.She was trying to force herself to sleep but it wasn’t working at all. She had turned and tossed tirelessly on the bunk bed she shared with Ariel, and even after some complaints from her best friend, she just didn’t stop.She couldn’t stop rather, with her mind going haywire and streaks of dried tears still on her face.Letting out a soft sniffle and whimper, as if she wanted to begin crying again, Sara turned to the left side of the bed, her eyes wandering about as she looked around the dimly lit hostel room. It wasn’t so late at all, and she and Ariel were the only ones in the room, as they had eaten their dinner albeit hurriedly, and then come back to rest.Now though, the last thing Sara was doing was having a good rest, and she hated this feeling so much! She tried closing her eyes slowly again, making it droop and at the same time praying that this strategy of hers would

CHRISTIAN The moment Mrs Smith, had told Christian that his best friend was here to visit, he had known that things was going to go south.Basically their conversation would be centered on his departure news, and Sara too and based on the latter he knew the talk wasn’t going to be an easy one.Well, it was becoming more visible and clear now, and as he paced around his room, his hands going to his hair and ruffling the dark blonde strands every now and then, Christian could only try to reign in his anger.They had talked about his journey, and then diverting to the talk of Sara, Daniel had suddenly become over defensive and honestly Christian didn’t like it at all.He just didn’t like it, and no matter how he’d warned Daniel not to push too far, his friend wasn’t giving a damned fuck, as he was still angry. “So you’re just going to throw away every single thing you had with that poor pregnant girl, just because of some nude photos that were clearly staged?” Daniel spat out incredul

DINAH’S POV“Tessa, I don’t understand what’s going on anymore.” Dinah muttered, lighting up a cigar stick and passing the box to her friend, who willingly collected it.“Oh come up Dinah…” Tessa began puffing on her already lit up cigarette stick, “Why are you so worked up about this? Are you just going to give up after everything you’ve done? Everything we’ve been through together?”Dinah just rolled her eyes, her hands going to her forehead as she heaved out loud in frustration.“I don’t know what to think again Tessa. I mean after all I did, I still don’t have Christian in my grasp. I mean he told me prop and plain that he’s leaving this town.”“To where again?” Tessa asked, and letting out a hiss Dinah replied, “Seattle. Talks about him getting a new job there and even when we talked, he freaking brought talks about that bitch into the conversation. Despite the fact that they’ve broken up, apparently he still has feelings for her and it hurts me so much. I mean, why can’t he just

SARAHastily handing over the pregnancy test results to Christian, Sara placed a hand over there lips, trying to stop the sob that threatened to spill out from within.Seconds passed, minutes too, with the silence between then growing in folds, and she could only watch as he stared down at the papers, his hands visibly shaking furiously.She waited for him to say something, and at long last when nothing seemed to be forthcoming she broke the dreaded quietude.“Won’t you say something?” She began with a sniffle, but he said nothing.Shoulders dropping further, Sara continued, “I know the past few days have been hell for both of us. I mean, you seeing these… I don’t even know what to call it now and…”“You keep saying you don’t know what to call them Sara, but I’ll help you madame. They are nudes miss, fucking nudes.

A Billionaire's Regret The Reveal
SARA“Hello Christian.” Sara said weakly, her voice hoarse and despite the weakness she was feeling all over her body, she still managed to grace her face with a small smile.Her eyes roaming through his whole body, she almost let out a whimper, taking a step forwards as she was overcome with so many emotions.She fucking missed him so much! Missed the feel of his arms around her body, the cologne from his shirt, and his husky voice breathing sweet nothings in her ear.Now more than ever, as she stared right at him still smiling, Sara realized just how much she missed having him close to her.Well, now she was here and she would remedy that all to quickly.She continued staring at him, but then seeing how unmoving he was, the stoic look in his face, and the brewing silence that thickened the atmosphere, Sara could only note that something was wrong somewhere.“Hey Christian…” She called out again, this time waving her right hands at him as she asked again, “What’s up? Am I not allowed
A Billionaire's Regret Foreboding Feelings
TWO DAYS LATER SARAThe first thing Sara saw when she opened her eyes were the blinding white lights in the room, and the pungent smell of medicine and blood that made her want to puke.She lurched, her head almost springing up from the soft bed she was laying on, but she stayed still. Where was she? She began to wonder, her mind spinning as she tried to recall any event, but her head was blank.She tried to say something, but her voice was stuck, her throat sore and it felt like she hadn’t eaten or drank anything in days. Worse, she felt weak, all her body ached and she still had the strong urge to puke her stomach out.“Sara? Sara are you there?” Someone was saying, and blinking twice her vision still blurry, Sara saw two pair of hands waving over her face.“Sara? Can you hear me?” The ever familiar voice said again, and nodding softly Sara finally managed to say, “I can hear you. Ariel?” “Oh Sara… I was so worried.” Ariel said, and instantly Sara felt the bed dip as her best fri

CHRISTIAN Christian was done with everything.His bags and luggages were already packed and ready to move. A small sad smile creeping up his lips, his feelings further intensified when he felt the gentle fragile hands of his mother sneaking up his shoulders, as she squeezed lightly.“Don’t you think you are in a haste son? Have you thoroughly thought about everything?”She asked softly.Christian knew she meant no harm with her words, but her words reminded him so much of Sara and quickly he went off.Like a spark lighting up in his head, he blurted out angrily shrugging her hands off his shoulders, “Mother, if this is about Sara, you can just dead the topic. I don’t want to talk about her.”An awkward silence brewing, and the atmosphere becoming tense Mrs Smith finally broke it off, clearing her throat and chuckling almost inaudibly.“Son! I didn’t even want to talk about her? I was just asking some important questions but now that you say it…” She paused obviously gathering what to
