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. “
Earlier that day in the hospital, Joana took her phone to call Matthew. The phone rang but he was not taking her calls as usual. Sophia has been refusing to go back to her father's place making excuses that Matthew would be furious if she left the house without his permission. After her last medical checkup and her bandage were removed, she was discharged immediately and advised to stay away from abuse and assault of any type.Nanny called Kain to come drive them home and he assured he was on his way. Sophia noticed how lean she had become just the past few weeks. It has been one problem to the other for the past two months now and Matthew has changed rapidly. He gets provoked easily, abuses her, and leaves her traumatic while he leaves his house to god-knows-well.The painful part is that he suddenly refused her to work in the company. His excuses were just incoherent, claiming the company was distracting her from attending to his needs at home. At about 9 am, Kain drove to t
Simon has been having weird thoughts about his daughter lately. Although he has been left in the dark concerning all that has been happening, yet he cannot get over the way he is feeling. Matthew has not been taking his calls and Sophia has been feeding him with sweet lies. At about 1 pm that day, just as he never expected, he heard voices outside and he stood up to peek through the window. It was his daughter and his niece. He wondered if Joana had been with Sophia all along.Kelly was upstairs taking her nap. Her last visit to Anthonio’s was pretty fun and it seems she was interested in him.Excited that Sophia had come around, Simon opened the door even before a knock came.The moment Sophia's eyes meet with her dad's she realizes how sick his eyes looked. “ Hey Dad,” She called, walking towards him.Simon walked close and Sophia hugged him.“ I'm here to spend the week with you, Dad. What's that look on your face? You don't look too good” Sophia said, looking at her dad’s
