View MoreWhen Kate barged in on Opula, she met her sobbing and weeping in her palms. She was red on the face and the color drained from her face; it was obvious Opula had been weeping all night.“Oh my goose!” Kate exclaimed and paced to the side of Opula and clutched her teary chin, “What happened to you again? Why are you all tears? The day is too early for this, Opula,” Kate petted her and caught sight of the picture on the bed and when she picked it up, it was rod’s picture, “Is it because of Rod Benson? What did he say to you again?”Opula swallowed hard, sobbed even greatly and managed to say, “He has refused to pick my phone calls ever since he rejected the pregnancy. The most annoying thing is that Rod wants me to abort the pregnancy. Can you imagine? Does he hate you that much?”“What!” Kate snapped and snorted, “Is he sick in the brain? How could he suggest such a thing? Oh my God!” Kate raised her gaze in frustration and asked yet further, “Did you show him the paternity test result
“MELISSA!” she called, her body shivering, the fierceness of her face threatening as she molded her fist, “What are you doing here? Are you supposed to be here at this time?” she asked, her hands trembling.I hummed and quoted, “Because the bird has learnt to fly without perching, the hunters have learnt to shoot without missing. I knew you were up to ruin. A leopard cannot lose its spot. So this is it mom. You demanded to know the ON and OFF knob so that you could sneak in and turn off the oxygen machine and suffocate Brian? Your evil has caught up with you.”Mom’s jaw sagged as she fumed, “You rotten maggot. I am only doing you a favor. I really want to have you back as my daughter but you must be set free from this evil marriage. He has to die.”I advanced forward and replied her, “You got to be bluffing, huh. My husband? Are you okay, mom? Are you saying it to my face that you want to kill Brian? This is unimaginable, mom!”“Listen up, Melissa. I have so much money now. I may not
Promptly I flinched from sleep; it was a dream.“Oh my God,” I whispered and wiped my face of the nervous sweat that trickled down. “Brian cannot die. What sort of dream is this? Something must be happening to my husband,” I said to myself, gasped, stroked my hair confusedly and picked up my phone to call the doctor…***Seated in front of the police detective were Fanny, Opula and Kate. While they spoke, the police scribbled down vital information on a paper, with keenness in his eyes.“The total sum of money is one million dollars,” Fanny said in a baritone voice, “I believe the money is somewhere in my villa, obviously in one or two chambers. I really want you and your boys to fish out and punish anyone found guilty of stealing the money.”The police detective winked after scribbling down some more information from Fanny, “Um, Mr. Fanny, this one million dollars in question was it stolen from your company, the Fanny Group or from the villa? Because you made mention of the money was
Feeling enthusiastic and not knowing what mom was up to, the doctor pointed at a knob, “Yes, this is the knob that controls the machine. It has an ON and OFF but it is always turned ON. Once it is turned OFF for more than thirty minutes, the patient will finally die. It is very dangerous to turn it off. And what would even make anyone to turn it off anyways?” the doctor asked suspiciously.Mom smiled and shook her head, before turning her gaze to smile deeply at me.“Why all these questions, mom?” I asked, anxiously, with my suspicious gaze locking with hers, “Are you interested in medicine now? Is this the reason you want to see Brian? You should be talking about Brian and not the machine.”Mom burst into a choking laughter, “My daughter never mind. You see, I was arguing with a staff of mine the other day that an oxygen machine has an ON and OFF knob and she kept arguing with me .” she brought out her phone and took photos of the machine, “Right now I have the picture of the machine
That was strange of mom. I couldn’t stop gaping at her, wondering why she wanted to see a man she hated so much. Mom had never desired to see Brian when he was insane. Mere thought of Brian irritated her like plaque. I could recall several times she yelled at me when I mentioned Brian in our discussion.“So why is she demanding to see him now?” I asked in my mind, “What is she up to? Is mom for real? Could this be a dream? This is strange. What is mom up to?” I asked yet further while I gaped at mom.“Why do you want to see my husband?” I asked softly and narrowed my suspicious eyes on her, wondering why she was chuckling now, as though I was funny.I could see the nurse who was in charge of riding her, develop interest in our discussion; perhaps it had come to the part she was needed. The nurse shot a brief smile at me before settling anxious gaze on mom who was nervously waiting for a prompt reply.“Um, ma’am if you want to see any patient at the emergency unit, you must seek the p
It was early Tuesday morning when I made it to the hospital to drop a flower and a get-well-soon card at the side of Brian, that I saw a familiar woman from afar. I paused for a moment to see if my guess was right. The woman was still afar in a wheel chair being ridden by a nurse.I suddenly forgot what brought me to the hospital and stood to wait for the woman to surge closer just to satisfy my anxiety. But as they pulled closer the image became clearer; oh my God! That was my mother. What happened to her and what was she doing in that wheelchair?I knew a sight of me often registered awareness in my mom that I was still a disowned child who she would never have anything to do with again.Certainly I knew that was what she was thinking when she saw me with the flower and card. It was evident in her thunderous frown and pink face. I forced a smile on my face, hoping it was contagious enough to make mom smile.“Melissa!” that was the sound of my name. I combed my gaze around to see if
A quiver of hurt spread through Rod Benson so when he barged in on his father who was entertaining some guests at the sitting room, he decided he wasn’t going to let James Benson know about Opula’s pregnancy.There was no need sharing such news with him since he had rejected it; if he should go ahead to share it, James might think he approved of it and might instigate Opula be made a wife.Rod knew his father more than anyone else; his ears were going to twitch once he heard that Opula was pregnant for him and there may be no need to search for an arranged wife.“This rotten maggot wants me to leave Melissa, just like that?” Rod nagged, staring upon my sizeable photo on his phone which he clutched between his fingers, “I don’t want to have anything to do with this fool. Opula is pregnant for me? Hell no!” he fisted his hands and punched into the other palm.After arguing with Opula , he had almost instructed his pilot to fly back to New York that same night. It was by sheer patience t
“I sent for you and the servant said you were very much busy so I decided to come to you. I just want you to be witness to what I am about to do to Eva. She debited her credit card and that of Brian and emptied it of the trust funds in them. I am opening a case against Eva,” Fanny said furiously to Opula.Not until Opula raised her gaze and said, “Eva did what,” That Fanny noticed her swollen eyes which were traceable to endless weeping at night.“What happened to you, my love?” Fanny asked and surged close to investigate her swollen eyes, “Have you not been sleeping at night. Your eyes are swollen. You have been crying, it is evident in your teary cold cheeks.”Opula didn’t want to talk about it now and she wished she could conjure lies to confuse her father. She had made mistakes in the past which were hunting her now. If only she could turn back the hands of time to fifteen years ago when Rod needed her loyalty, comfort and love. Everything Rod mentioned was true. It was still cle
There was a hush of silence hanging over them and only the knocking of Rod’s oxfords on the floor as he stepped back could be heard. With eyes dimmed at Opula , rod wasn’t too sure of what he heard.So he asked emphatically, “What did you just say? Did I hear you right? What did you just say, Opula?Already, Opula had broken down in tears and sobbed greatly now and she fondled with her fingers. The pounding of her heart had succeeded in getting her nervous; it was evident in her trembling body.“You heard me right. I am carrying your child. I am two weeks pregnant for you, Rod,” she foisted a contagious smile on her face while she spoke yet further, “We are expecting a baby, Rod. Isn’t it a good thing?” she rubbed on her stomach. “Aren’t you happy, huh?”Never in her life had she seen such thunderous frown on the face of Rod , even in the five years she dated him and did all sorts to him, Rod had not gathered such irritable frown on his face.“You are pregnant for me?” Rod said and le
Once upon a time on a crisp November morning, late summer in Rio Hondo, at the Fanny’s mansion, bottles of beer, rum and cigars were seen littered all over the table. And carelessly scattered on the floor were G-string, pants, sleeves and a polka-dotted dress. In the other corner the bed was creaking hugely under the weight of two figures. A sonorous moan blared and hung over them. Like a trumpet, the female voice amplified the most out of the window, while the male voice groaned and grunted at a terribly disturbing way.Opula was bouncing and having her fragile, slender waist astride the legs of Ken, whose mouth was gaping, and hands infinitely stroking and fondling her fragile small breasts.“Y – you are not doing badly today,” Ken stuttered under her weight and squeezed her tapering waist.She shut her eyes and breathed hard. “Yesterday’s sex was horrendous,” she sounded through a moan and clenched her teeth to pound harder. “I am going to give it to you hot!” she managed to say in ...
