She walked into the room with her hair falling over her shoulders. Looking at the bed, she could see Kelvin holding her phone."I've got a call?" She asked anxiously, walking to the bed."Um..no..not really," he lied, dropping the phone on the bed.She made a surprised face with her lips pursed."You didn't shower?" He asked, standing up from the bed.She sighed and picked up her phone from the bed. She checked for missed calls but she saw none.She became disappointed seeing that Amos hadn't returned her call. Heaving a sigh of relief, she sat on the bed slowly.She could hear his phone ringing on the bed and she turned. Her eyes fell on the screen and she frowned at the caller ID.He rushed over to the bed to pick up the phone and she watched in anticipation for what he was about to do.He stood with the phone still ringing in his hands."Kemi?" She asked with a deep frown."Um..yeah..," he stammered."Pick up!" She yelled."It doesn't matter, baby. I guess she's calling to congratu
Dressed in a black jeans pants and a coral colored blouse, she stepped into the living room with her hand holding her small black bag wearily.She could see Alex feeding baby Junior on the couch and a wry smile appeared on her face as she heard the baby's cries."Oh..thank goodness you're here!" Alex cried in excitement."Look how jumbled you're looking," she said with a smile as she carried the baby from Alex whose messy hair was dangling all over her face.She heaved a sigh of relief and pushed back her black afro hair."Nat..thanks for saving me," she said with a smile as Natasha took her seat and began spoon feeding the baby who was now calm."Where are the maids?" She asked, looking around the house."They're in the kitchen. We're making a few preparations for Adrian's home coming this weekend. We went shopping earlier today, I want to give him a grand reception when he arrives," she said with a smile."Aww.. that's so sweet, the love between you two needs to be studied," she rema
“No..no.. that can’t be,” she said, shaking her head in disbelief.“Yes madam, this young man was shot and he came over to the police station to make a report. We got to the scene and we found her car at the scene;And also this phone, which seemed to belong to her,” the policemen related. “No! No!” She screamed as she saw Alex's phone in their possession. The whole thing became real to her and she slumped on the couch and began to weep uncontrollably.“We are here to ask a few questions about the whole event. We want to know her destination, the last person she called and any other information we would need to track down the kidnappers,” one of the men said.She sniffed and wiped off her tears as she sat right on the couch. She recalled the call Alex received from her mother before leaving the mansion. She looked up at the policemen and related everything to them. "I need you to go over to Mr Steel's mansion and question my mother!" She ordered sternly with her eyes on the men.The
It was a bright sunny morning and people could be seen moving to and fro at the mansion with sober faces. Alex's friends and family were alerted and they had all trooped into the mansion that morning.She sat on the couch weeping with Kelvin sitting beside her. A few policemen were present and they could be seen speaking to Mr Bimpe, Alex's father. "Baby, it's enough, you need to be strong for me," Kelvin consoled with his hands around her."Nat, you need to eat your food; the maids told us you haven't touched your food since yesterday," Maiden, a friend of Alex, said to her."How can I eat when there is still no sight of Alex? What if the police were right? What if she's dead?" She asked amidst the tears trickling down her cheeks."That's why you need to be strong, you need to be strong for baby Junior and your brother, Adrian," the second girl put in.She sniffed and Kelvin made a nod.Just then, footsteps were heard from the foyer and she looked ahead to see Adrian, in his usual b
She walked into the room slowly, holding a tray of tea. She stopped for a moment as she saw him sitting close to the window with the heavy breeze blowing the curtains across his face.Alex's portrait could be seen resting on his laps as he caressed it softly with his head bowed a little. This was his normal routine and he had never left his room since her demise, two weeks ago."Adrian," she called softly, walking to the chair where he was seated."Nat, I told you to stay off this room, I want to be alone..," he grunted without looking at her face."Adrian, you aren't going to stay this way forever. You haven't even looked at your baby, you haven't even looked at my face..," she cried, kneeling beside him.He remained silent and she shut her eyes bitterly as she saw the tears that trickled down his cheek."Adrian.. I've sacrificed everything to be with you, I sacrificed getting married, I sacrificed my job and everything I love just to take care of you. How long will you keep me in de
Stepping out of the car, she adjusted the black scarf around her face as she walked to the two storey building in front of her. It was dark and the whole place was as calm as a graveyard.Walking to the door, she rang the bell. She stood for a few seconds waiting for the door to be opened. The door opened after a few seconds and she could see a plumpy short brown skin woman standing in front of the door, dressed in a pink coloured cotton dress."How may I help you, madam?" The lady asked immediately."Um..I'm.. I'm here to see the Thompsons," she replied."Oh, the whole family is in the backyard. They're throwing an engagement party," the lady revealed in excitement.She forced a smile on her face and nodded."Um..okay, please take me to the backyard," she requested and the lady made a nod.Walking to the backyard, she could hear slow music and voices coming from the garden which was all lit up that night. She could also see a few people moving to and fro at the garden. The air was per
With her gaze settled on the floor, he stood in front of her with his sober eyes keenly staring at her body."Nat," he called softly.She remained silent with her gaze still on the floor."We need to talk," he said with a hoarse voice.She raised her head to look at his face and he swallowed hard as he saw her ever beautiful face which he had missed so much."Amos, there is nothing to talk about," she voiced out softly, her eyes looking into his alluring eyes."Nat..I have a lot to explain, just give me a chance," he pleaded.She sighed and made a slow nod."Just this one chance," she muttered.He walked beside her to her car and they both stepped into the car. There was a brief moment of silence and he took a slow glance at her face."I don't even know where to start from," he muttered softly.She gulped and removed the scarf from her face."You can start by explaining the reason you left even when you had promised to stay, or, the reason you came into Nigeria without bothering to che
It was all black as the mansion bustled with people moving to and fro that night. The anniversary had just concluded and people were already leaving for their homes except for a few family and friends. Dressed in a black long velvet dress, she walked down the stairs towards the boys who were drinking around a table at one side of the foyer and she smiled as Amos winked at her.He stood up from the table as he caught sight of her and he walked towards her."Nat, you're overworking yourself and you need to rest. What else do you need? Let me help you out," he requested, seeing the anxiety written all over her face.She smiled wryly as she looked at his handsome face. He was donned in a black suit which fitted him perfectly."I'm fine, I just need you to help Adrian," she said, looking at where Adrian was standing, discussing with a few men."Adrian is doing just fine, he is getting back on his feet slowly," he said with excitement."I know. I just want you guys to invite him over to yo
