In the quietude of the house that day, a shrill cry echoed from upstairs, interrupting the peace of the house. Nanny was in the wine cellar, with a napkin, dusting each of the wine bottles arranged attractively on the shelf.She paused at the interruption, processing the voice coming from upstairs.“ Isn't that Mrs Callaghan shouting upstairs? What’s going on with her?” Nanny soliloquized, continuing her cleaning.Just then, the scream increased and she couldn't take it this time around. She quickly dropped the napkin in her hands to rush upstairs. At that moment, Chris heard the scream too. He burst out of his room seeing Nanny running upstairs and followed her. “ Nanny hold on, what is happening to Miss Sophia?” he asked while trying to meet Nanny’s pace but she ignored him completely.It took about 25 minutes to arrive at the Library where Sophia was screaming for help.No one had a clue that Matthew was In there in the room screwing her up. The screams suddenly began to sub
At the hospital, Sophia lay on the bed with a bandage on her chin running to her head upward. The situation would have led to death if they hadn't interrupted Matthew and had come to her rescue.Nanny sighed deeply as she sat down on the couch beside Sophia’s bed, patting her warm hands. She could not imagine the ugly situation back home earlier. Her boss has been acting weird lately and she suspects his actions to be related to a substance abuser already because she had once lived with one.‘Mr Callaghan is a beast’ She caused Matthew in her mind, reminiscing the ugly situation earlier. It's been six hours now and Sophia could barely open her eyes. Without any will, Nanny had to call Joana to inform her about Sophia’s condition and Joana promised she was on her way.Sophia has been enduring this abuse for a long time and Nanny wondered why the young lady couldn't just seek help or leave to her father. It was quite unfortunate that Sophia was among the list of the young women
Sophia’s condition scared the hell out of Joana. She did not have an idea the situation was this badShe hugged Sophia and turned to Nanny. “ Nanny, what happened to my sister? Who did this to her and where is Matthew? “ She asked but there was no reply from Nanny.Nanny’s face was swollen and one could barely hear her when she spoke. She was more like a mother to Sophia and blamed her helpless self most of the time. “ I don't know where to start from” Nanny managed to let out.“ Matthew abused me again, Joana,” Sophia surprisingly explained in a cracked voice.Upon hearing Sophia’s confession, Joana suddenly went numb, her hands shaking tremendously like she had essential tremors.“ Matthew did this to you?” She asked with lips parted in awe and Nanny looked away painfully. Upon hearing this, Joana angrily grabbed her phone to call Mathew and Sophia cast her painful gaze at her sister.“ He is not gonna take your calls” Sophia, In her lifeless state assured and suddenly noticed th
The cool clean air, entwined with the dark lovely cloud made the earth a. beautiful place to live it Shawn walked from his room to the living room chatting with someone on the phone. It was late that day and he was suddenly enveloped by a sense of loneliness in the house since Joana was not by his side.Before he took his seat, he cast one lance around the apartment which has served the purpose of shelter for four years now and he smiled to himself. A lot happened from the beginning of the year but the end part of it all was the most favorable because he found a woman who restored him to his feet.The fact that he was leaving the following day to re-incline with his destiny and embrace who he was, made the house surge him with an unusual feeling as if he was mourning a loved one.Earlier today, he planned to accompany Joana to see Sophia in the hospital. Unfortunately, a call came from his former boss Mr Sinclair, requesting he represent the company in a business meeting scheduled i
The morning sun, set on the roof casting rays of sunlight on the city. Today marked the beginning and the first day of another year and for Shawn, it's the best gift God has given to him and he was grateful for everything. His sleep was peaceful until his phone beeped. It was his Father. He took the calls and they talked at length before Shawn assured him he would be on his way home shortly. When his father hung up on the phone, Shawn flexed his muscles and stood up in the kitchen to make breakfast and eat before he left the house finally.Being that today was his last day in the house, he went to the fridge to see what he had left inside.Opening the fridge, it was all stuck with food from the last shopping he went with Joana.“ Jeez! This is much” He took some of the beef and other food to make for breakfast before thinking about what to do next.Just then, he heard the doorbell chime. “ I'm coming,” He replied, wondering who it was in That early morning.Striding to the do
Joana hugged Shawn tightly outside the hospital and they kissed deeply but short.Shawn was looking more handsome and Joana could not stop admiring and crushing on her boyfriend. He was impeccably dressed, exuding a sense of fashion and sophistication His preened suit sat perfectly on his body, spotlighting his broad shoulders and fine physique. The crisp white shirt he wore, contrasted sharply with his tailored trousers, and his red tie added a touch of elegance to his refined looks. His black leather shoes were well polished until they sparked, completing his suave refined look like the one true head-turner he was.“ My goodness. Baby, why do I feel suffocated by your chams” Joana, stole another sweet kiss again as they stood beside Shawn's car.His earthy scent filled her sharp nose and she stylishly buried her face on his chest, licking his neck and Shawn laughed at her childish actions.He gently took her hands and allowed her to lean by the car for support. He wrapped his han
Sophia shut her eyes deeply and tears fell down her cheeks as her sister held Shawn’s hands, accompanying him out of the ward. She still couldn't believe that Shawn and his Father were back together after her relationship with him made his father stop seeing him as a son. Her once lovely Shawn who almost killed himself when she left him for Matthew is now seemingly rich and extremely happy with her sister, Joana.“ Stop weeping, Sophia. You are hurting yourself?” Nanny consoled, clueless as to why Sophia suddenly began to wail.It almost looked as if a lump was growing in Sophia's throat. She tried to speak but every word suddenly felt meaningless and too heavy for her to pronounce.Her tears, she tried to stop them from burning down her cheeks but they were ceaseless, pouring out like streams of water.The magnitude of her pain broke evaluatively into a heartbreak with memories dancing gleefully before her eyes as if they were mocking her for the very mistake of her past.“ It is
The next morning, the rays of the morning sun dimed deep into Sopha's eyes, and she stretched her legs and hand . Her legs hit a human body lying next to her on the bed and she shivered. She opened her eyes abruptly to behold a figure wrapped in the quilt on the bed with his back turned against her.Sophia was about to fling the quilt off his body to find out who it was but stopped short at that point. Naked? Why did I sleep naked? She asked within.As she narrowed her eyes around the bed, she could see her clothes lying carelessly on the bed.With a racing heart and shaky hands, she pulled the quilt away from the man lying close to her and pulled his head with her two hands, twisting his gaze to hers.Shockingly, she let her off of his head. It was her husband, Matthew.“ What is it, Sophia, I need some rest please” Matthew’s mouth reeked of alcohol as he muttered half asleep, and dozed off again. Sophia in consternation, gazed at her bare body and heaved a sigh of relief. “
When Sophia got the news that Matthew was arrested some months ago, she almost felt light at the same time grieved.How time flies. It's been four months now and Sophia has not gotten over the pain of her shattered life.Up till now, Sophia still believed she was carrying Matthew’s child in her womb. Today, however, she would confirm the truth about the real father of the child she is carrying in her womb.While she sat in the hospital with Matthew’s toothbrush in her hand, a tear dropped from her eyes.Three months ago after Shawn and Joana wedded, they had not visited for once.Sophia didn't believe Shawn would buy her father such an elegant mansion in Cabbagetown. At least, she was grateful they didn't return to the slum.These days, Sophia could see the disappointment in her father's eyes each time she looked at him. Each time she woke up, the thought of Shawn always popped up in her mind and would be accompanied by a feeling of suicide.As she sat sobbing in silence in the h
The sun rose so early in the sky, painting the earth with its golden light.It was another hopeful morning for Matthew as he woke up looking more fulfilled.For one week now, Matthew has been throwing all forms of parties in his big mansion in LILI Hills.To Matthew, it almost seemed it was Sophia who was restricting his happiness but now that she’s gone, he allowed himself to drown in pleasure and excitement the most.From the day Matthew shared their s*x video with his friends and Derrick, he became more than a beast without any form of mercy.As the morning sun penetrated Matthew's eyes, he opened his eyes and rubbed them rashly.On the right and the left side of the bed were two ladies, stack naked.“ The heck! “ He exclaimed, glancing at the ladies. Yesterday was crazy and Matthew ended up having of s*x with different ladies. The two ladies who were by his side were the last set of ladies he had threesomes with.Just yesterday, Matthew received his deal from WACO. Although the
Two days later, 8: 01 pm>>>>>The sky was fainted with hues of gold as sunlight had kissed the earth its final farewell.The air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers and the stars shone like diamonds scattered all over the world, casting a celestial glow on the roofs of the cities.In the glowing glint of the chandelier in an elegant opulent mansion, stood Shawn and Joana gazing at each other in love.Silence engulfed the air, leaving only the whispers of promises from the newly joined wedded couples.The long-awaited wedding that everyone has been waiting for just ended some three hours ago. It wasn't easy for Shawn and his new bride to escape from the crowd who wanted one thing or the other from him.Nobles, CEOs of great organizations, Mayors, business partners, and other prominent individuals all graced the wedding and it was a narrow escape for Shawn to lurk out just to be alone with the woman he loves. Although the greatest vows had been taken at the altar earli
That day, Sophia woke up and found herself in the hospital. “ Where am I? “ she faintly said. She turned her head to the right side of the bed and found Nanny Esung sitting on the single chair, resting her head on the bed..Lazily, Sophia narrowed her eyes around and discovered there was an intravenous cannula fixed to her hand so she could barely move.Taking a deep breath, she tried pulling herself up but suddenly interrupted Nanny’s rest.“ Sophia, you’re awake,” Nanny said in surprise. She touched Sophia's forehead and held her hands immediately. “ Nanny, Where are my Dad and Sister? How did I get in here? I can't remember a thing?” her weak lean eyes flickered.Sophia was quite loquacious and Nanny was confused about the first question to answer.“ Uhm, Sophia, your dad would be here soon, and Joana—” Nanny paused.“ And Joana? Where is she? I need her by my side” Sophia persisted and Nanny shut her eyes.“ I'm sorry, Sophia but Joana is getting ready for her wedding that is c
After Matthew successfully dragged Sophia from the drug room to the living room, Sophia was already giving up.The torture was too much for her to bear and she just wished she could die.“ Why are you doing this to me, I am carrying your child” She muttered half dead but was lucky it didn't get pierced into Matthew's ears.“ You have the nerve to open your legs for another man to pounce on you. Stupid crazy witch “ Matthew fumed.He managed not to lay a finger on her. She is leaving his life already. Kayla was calling after Matthew while she ran downstairs.Chasing Sophia away is like living out of his dream. The company was not doing well again but he still has a three-year deal with WACO that is worth billions of dollars. Getting to the living room Kayla could not find Matthew around. He probably may have dragged Sophia outside. “ What the heck is going on?” She said, hurrying outside. It was getting late already and Kayla could see Matthew drag Sophia fiercely outside the gate
Matthew got to his first mansion at 5:06 pm. Without an idea that he was being followed.The money for Simon’s house, his father-in-law, which he sold out has just been credited to his account. However, as he disappeared inside the mansion, the white car that had been tailing him came to a halt at the front of his gateOne of the men took his phone and called Shawn immediately. “ Sir, we found his second hideout?” his voice struck on the phone. The man muttered a few more words on the phone and then took pictures of the mansion before they finally drove off.Back inside the mansion, Mrs Cooper peeped and saw Matthew had arrived so she dashed back to the kitchen to finish up with the food she was preparing.Mrs Cooper has been wondering where Matthew took Sophia to. She was shocked that Matthew came back to the house without Sophia by his side.While Mrs Cooper prepared dinner that evening, She kept thinking about Sophia. It's been days now and she couldn't find traces of Sop
The atmosphere around Matty Cash Empire that noon was quite serene.Matthew had gone for a business meeting with his secretary. For now, the company has been struggling financially with many of their partners lost.Returning to the company at 3 pm, Matthew collapsed on his chair in the office. “ What a tough day” he sighed, wrapping his head around the outcome of the business meeting earlier. Convincing their once loyal partners to still do business with them was not an easy task. Matthew discovered that since he fired Kim as his assistant, the company's progress has slowly depreciated.Now, Matthew regrets trusting the company into the hands of the cruel espionage, Kim. He was sure Kim was still working with Drill.Days ago, he noticed some men parading around the company's vicinity but being too downcast, he had allowed them without interrogation.As Matthew sat trying to bring his mind back from the stress of the day, his new secretary walked in.“ What is it again, Evie?” Mat
At Sterling Group, Shawn was occupied with a pile of work in the office. Now he sees why Joana was offering to assist him In the company after they got married. It would be better if they worked in the company together. He can't be tired of having her around him anyway.As he sat, his phone rang and he immediately took the calls.“ Inspector, how is the case going? Any news?” His lovely baritone echoed on the phone.“ Yes sir! “ Replied the inspector. “ Oh really? Can I hear the reports?“ Shawn answered, taking a break from typing on the laptop. His hands have been running deftly on the keyboard for a while without taking a break.“ Yes, sir! “ Replied the inspector ” We found out that he is a drug trafficker who owns two mansions and he uses one for his illegal business. According to our investigation team, we also discovered he belonged to a dangerous group that is headed by Derrick DE Lord” the man explained on the phone. Shawn shut his eyes while trying to process all the
Simon was seated with his head buried on the floor when Joana and Nanny suddenly walked in.“ Hey, Uncle. Don't tell me you are going insane all because of that crazy son-in-law of yours” She fumed and collapsed on the bed.Looking at Simon, he felt disappointed but more importantly, he looked woeful for letting his daughter marry Matthew. “ What happened Joana? Are they sending us out of the house?” He lifted his pale face to Joana and Nanny.With a nod, Joana replied, “ Yes” Nanny was already perplexed. She was worried about so many things, especially where to go. She was stranded when Matthew fired her a few months back and now, she is almost caught in between the deep blue sea with the devastating hurricanes and the devil's web.For a long time, Nanny had wanted to save a reasonable amount of money to start up a petty restaurant. But Suddenly, her husband became ill which drained all her lifetime savings. To make things worse, after spending such a huge amount of money, her h
