Having these cuts on my feet has hauled my life to some extent. Thank God Carolina is here to make everything bearable for me. My daughter doesn't even mind staying away from me. With Carolina and the rest of the staff ready to play with her she has no use for me. She can survive in anything. I had asked Carolina to help me with my laptop in order to edit some stuff earlier. I finished a while ago and I have been going through old photos. I am currently on the photos I took on the day I met Gregory.I observe the glint in the eyes of the rich women, their dazzling jewellery. I slide to the next picture and it's a picture of Gregory with a drink in his hand. He looks bored. I am about to slide to the next picture when something catches my eye. A hand pouring a substance in his drink. I closely inspected the picture and the hand looks feminine with jewellery on it. His drink was spiked that night. I look at other pictures where Ellie is with him. She was the only other person with him.
You would think that was the last I saw of him. He returns back to me after returning the plate. “Er, what is it this time?”. I huff in frustration. He has that annoying smirk plastered on his face. It is safe for me to say that he has reserved all his smirk for me. “Relax angry bird, I came to tend to your wounds”. He raises a first aid box I didn't initially see. “Carolina can handle it when she is done with whatever is occupying her time”. He doesn't listen to me, instead he walks closer. “Cute”. He says plopping down on the bed like he owns the place. Actually he owns the place I groan internally. He gently places my foot on his thighs, pulling off the old bandage. He cleans around the injury before wrapping the new bandage. He does the same thing for the other foot. He places the old bandaged in a small disposable bag. Then walks over to my bathroom to wash his hands. When he returns I can't help but admire this fine specimen of a man. His sleeves are folded, two buttons of hi

Denise’s POVA good night rest is always characterized by a refreshing feeling when your body is thrown into consciousness. I peel my eyes open after the most refreshing night rest I have gotten in a really long time. My blissful sleep was probably brought about by my recent discovery, not just that but being able to relate my findings to Gregory. Although he didn't look convinced at first I am sure he is an intelligent man and he will figure things out himself. A smile is etched on my face as I stretch on my bed knowing that when I leave this house I have planted a seed to prove my innocence. My revelation about Ellie being the culprit will be in his mind making him doubt his choices and action towards me. In time he'll know I never forced myself on him and into his life. The smile is wiped off when I notice the Empty crib. Ivy is not in her crib. Fear crawls up my spine. I am sure I put her to sleep in her crib last night. She was sound asleep before I laid in bed. Did Ellie find
Being confined to a room for days will make you appreciate the freedom you enjoy. I take careful steps out of my room towards the kitchen. I have been feeling hungry at night these days, so I sneak up at night to get some. Though I doubt I will be disturbing anyone seeing the mansion is so large that they would hardly hear me from their rooms. The hallways are quiet as I walk through, the same as the kitchen. I don't bother to put on the light. I have come to memorise the kitchen and the path to the fridge like my name. Once the piece of cake is on my plate I move to the living area. It's dimly lit like the rest of the house. “It's not going to work!Do you think I haven't tried”. It's Ellie. She is agitated with whoever she is speaking to on the phone. “You sound as if I haven't been trying on my part. Do you know how risky it is being in the midst of things?”. She whisper yells. She moves closer to where I am and my heart rate increases, for fear of her seeing me. Ellie relaxes on
“Denise….” My boss yells my name even though he doesn't have to. Rosie rolls her eyes at the way he yelled my name. It's a good thing she isn't close to him right now else they'll begin bickering like teenage siblings. “Boss, you called”. I say once I am in his office. He lifts his eyes from his computer screen and fixes them on me. “Yes, I have scheduled you for a shoot downtown, it's only supposed to take less than an hour. I'll watch after Ivy”. He says, fixing his gaze back on the screen. “Lilly will give you the necessary info”. He doesn't look back at me when he says this. “What does he want?” Rosie says once I return to arrange my stuff. “He wants me to cover a shoot downtown”. I tell her as I stuff the last of my property in my backpack. “And Ivy?”. She questions. “He'll watch her, besides she's really comfortable with him. I pick up the backpack and head for the door. “ Why are you leaving without me when we are both aware that you need my car to commute”. She tells me wit
I turn my head to Rosie and her eyes are round and wide mimicking my own. “shit” I mouth. “Who’s there?”. Someone shouts from inside. The sound of footsteps approached us. My heart is beating faster than I can process. This wasn't how I planned it. I was just going to sneak up on her and find out what she's up to. The sound of a gun being corked is heard and colour drains from Rosie's face. I bet my face mirrors hers “On the count of three we run”. I mouth to Rosie. She nods to my suggestion like an understanding child. “One, two, three, run”. I mouth to her. We both rose, hitting down the cans we hid behind. They have all realised that people were indeed in their territory. Various footsteps are heard as we run; they are after us. “Boom, boom, boom”. Shots are fired at us but luckily we've taken a left. Soon enough I find some men hot on our trail. “Rosie”. I call out to Rosie as we run. She briefly looks back at me before keeping her eyes on her track we need to split up. “what!
