After taking her time to swallow up the embarrassment she felt, she walked back into the room feigning normalcy. Andre and Matilda gave her that uneasy look again covering it up with a smile.The doctor was there and he was briefing them on Tyler's condition, from what she made out of his words he would be discharged in two days as he responded quickly to treatment. She came to stand beside Matilda who was sitting beside Tyler after the doctor left, her gaze trying to be anywhere but that wasn't on Tyler who stole glances from her at each point while pretending to listen to Matilda's cheering talks."I'll be on my way now." She said trying to sound as clear and normal as possible but it came out weak and cracked. She coughed slightly before clearing her throat."Alread?" Tyler yelled more than ask the question which startled everyone. He soon adjusted his countenance seeing the reaction. "Thanks for watching after me." He tried to sound normal but in truth he didn't want her to leave,
"You came." Matilda spoke surprised. She wasn't looking forward to it but whatever little sparks was going on between the two would end soon. Andre was going to make sure if it."Does he know?" Alice asked Matilda."Oh.... He told you already." She realized where Alice was driving at."Don't kid mati I was in charge of getting a centre for him." The two kept whispering about things Tyler couldn't make a meaning of but it looked like they were hiding something from him.Alice had relieved Matilda of her night watch over Tyler and nothing pleased him more than to be alone with her. It was uncomfortable at first with all the tension between them but they soon relaxed as Tyler started his jokes. They were finally exhausted from all the talks and laughs and Alice was now resting her head beside Tyler's bed. He was awake and she was too. Tyler let his fingers slid her hair to uncover her face, she tensed at his touch and held her breath."I know I'm overstepping again but I really want to s
Days had gone by since Tyler was dragged to rehab, Matilda had felt bad during those days for what they did. She knew Tyler was very mad at her now but Andre had been very supportive telling her she did the right thing.She had the discussion with him before they visited Tyler at the hospital and made urgent arrangement for it, she was convinced that Tyler would gamble again and as his big sister she needed to protect him. Today was the day of the art exhibition where Andre got to get his mother the famous artwork of her favourite artist in the auction. Matilda was all dressed in a black strapless body fitted gown, a diamond necklaced dressed around her neck and her faced adorned in a natural make up. She looked very elegant and pretty as always. She was standing before the mirror, taking in her full view when Andre came to stand behind her leaning closely to her back while he held and rubbed her shoulder gently."You look pretty." Andre said in a sultry voice dropping pecks on her n
"This will be the last." The nervous voice of a female spoke, she was sitting before her laptop and her breath was shaky and heavy.She sighed shutting her eyes tightly then suddenly she opened her laptop, rubbed her palms together to bring a warm feel to it. Her index finger reached out slowly to the keyboard and when it finally touched it, her desperate movements did not stop as she logged into a site that read "Sugar baby, find a billionaire." She signed in and when she checked her dashboard it read again "No clients." With an animated doll sticking it's tongue out as a sign of mockery. Her chest dropped in an instant, like always she was met with another heartbreaking disappointment. She stared dead at the screen, a drop of tear making its way down her cheek. She slammed the screen against the keyboard and gave up her head in a rest on the table shedding tears of failure."Why is this happening to me? Why is life so mean to me?" She cried asking no one in particular. Two years i
"What was that?" Kim asked, her voice teasing having watched the whole time."I don't know, what do you mean?" Her voice was low and her cheek flushed red in a blush, she felt chills run through her as she relived the moment at the table in her mind. Kim raised a brow and chuckled teasingly. She could see the blush plastered across her cheeks and could tell in a single look that she had something going on in her mind."You think he's handsome right?" Kim was persuasive; she had her elbow resting on the counter table while her spread palm supported her as it rested on it. Her eyes were searching for answers as she stared interrogatively at Matilda who was now looking at her with denial evident in her eyes."I'd be lying if I said no." Matilda crossed the distance between them passing her to stand opposite to her. Kim smiled knowingly loving how nervous she was making her. She switched her stance to face Matilda again."Then you felt something." She laid a stamp to her unconcluded inves
Moving towards the parking lot, Andre walks just behind Lena who seem to have forgotten about his existence behind her, she was infuriated and it clouded her thoughts. Andre slid his left hand into his pocket maintaining his ever calm countenance as he observed her. He stopped in his tracks, the crazy demon inside her had ruined their night. They were supposed to talk things out but her wide and lousy mouth didn't give them a chance. It was a tense night for them and he tried everything within his power to stop her from exploding in anger before everyone."Youre walking too fast." He said in an attempt to calm her fleeing steps but she turned deaf to his voice, clicking her heals more aggressively as she made her way into the car. Sam, Andre's driver had the door already opened for them, he looked calm but was bubbled with thoughts and questions to the lady's attitude. It wasn't surprising, she was always high headed and rude with her behavior, it made him wonder why his boss kept a g
"One more step and I'll kill you."Matilda froze hearing his dreadful words at her. Was he really going to kill her? He didn't seem dangerous initially but his death stare at her at the moment told her otherwise. "Who are you?" Andre asked not because he didn't recognize her but because he was suspicious.Matilda on the other hand wondered if he really didn't remember her, she had served him wine back at the bar. He let that mean girl talk and hit him harshly and here he was threatening to kill her, how unbelievable."Seeing that you are quiet, I guess you must be a secret reporter or a blogger who would do anything to get their hands on people and talk trash about them." He paused seeing she was silent then continued. "How much do you need to keep your mouth shut and not say anything you saw today."I don't understand what you are trying to say." "Pretend all you want but I bet you are willing to share information about me to get money in your bag." His tone was harsh and she was g
It was the day of the reading, it was finally here the day she had villainy thought of in her head all this time.
