Shawn glanced at the time, it was already 2 pm.While they laughed in the room, Joana kept wondering why Shawn had come so early. She wondered if he ever went to the company that day.They discussed Sophia and how to reach out to her and Shawn assured Joana he would take legal action against Matthew.“I will make sure Matthew rot in jail for all his crimes “ Shawn angrily said, remembering what Matthew did to him in the past.The confidence and trust Joana had for Shawn made her smile sheepishly to herself. Shawn was a man of his word. He hardly gets involved in issues like this but with his involvement in Sophia’s case, Matthew is a dead meat.“ Thank you for coming through for my sister gosh! Matthew is a beast” She said, coaxing her neck again. Telling Shawn that Matthew almost choking her to death would cause more crisis so she swollen hard that piece of information. However, when Shawn glanced at Joana, his body craved for her. Gently, he pulled Joana’s long hair that cove
The street was warm but lonely. The sun was dry and crispy with a golden glint, cast to the horizon.Shawn made a quick call on the phone and hung up immediately after he delivered his message to the person he called.While he drove, he kept remembering the mark he saw on Joana’s neck and suddenly felt like navigating to Matthew's company to punch his face.However, Matthew would be the last person Shawn was planning to be silent. Maya was out of the picture and Shawn was on his way to carry out his vendetta on the second person. While Shawn drove, he spoke to his manager on the phone about the new project the company was working on. He’d left the company earlier to see Joana and carry out his purpose. It took Shawn about an hour from Virginia Hills to get to his destination. As he parked his car, he glanced at the environment. The place was quiet and serene but today, Shawn had decided to interrupt the tranquility in the environment. Long before Shawn returned to his father,
The earth darkened, as daylight withdrew from it.Matthew has been pissed off since he came back from the company after Joana’s confrontation. Right now, this was posing a threat to his deal with WACO.The WACO deal has been a major stream of his income and he would be greatly affected if the contract is terminated.The sudden appearance of Joana in his company is what he could not comprehend. Talking about Joana, Matthew couldn't still believe she had driven in that expensive car. She was looking more gorgeous than ever too. “ Shit! How did she get the car” Matthew grimaced.It was 7 pm that day at LiLI Hills and Matthew was sitting close to the pool with Kayla watching the gloomy cloud. Finally, Kayla’s persistence for Matthew to bring Sophia to the drug house has paid off.Three hours ago, Matthew had blindfolded Sophia and brought her to LiLi Hills. Right now, Sophia doesn't know where she is. Matthew had locked her up in one of the empty rooms in the mansion.Since Sophia’
Immediately, Matthew caught a glimpse of Kayla, the rod in his hands sustained in the air.“ What are you doing, Bobby? What has come over you?” Kayla glared at him.She dragged the rod in Matthew’s hands away and threw it by the other end of the bed.Sophia, all along, could hear voices but didn't know where she was. Her body was weak from the last time torture and her injuries hurt so badly.From her recumbent position, she could hear Kayla, asking Matthew if he wanted to kill her and destroy his future.Kayla is a crazy woman; one Sophia just happened to come in contact with but from the look of things, Kayla has been a saving grace to Sophia. Matthew would have long murdered her if Kayla hadn't intervened.“ I just want to kill this b*tch for cheating on me” Matthew groaned.Angrily, he kicked Sophia on her waist as she lay, curled up on the floor she tried screaming but was gagged. Matthew’s kicks affected her spinal cords too.“ Stop it, Bobby!” Kayla dragged Matthew off from So
Kayla watched Sophia as she consumed the food and she scoffed.“ Don't you dare say thank you to me ever because I will rip life off you. Gosh! She even eats like a pig, ”Kayla said sarcastically, with disdain. Kayla's Words also come with the most surprising sarcasm ever. She often doesn't say much but the few words she speaks often comes With a threat.“ I won't say that to you anymore. I promise “ Sophia pathetically said, lowering her eyes to her food.Yes, Kayla was one crazy woman but deep down, Sophia knew it was quite safer to be with her than Matthew himself. With eyes running all over Sophia in contempt, Kayla decided to ask her about the pregnancy. “ Who is responsible for the bastard in your womb?” Her words shocked Sophia, causing the spoon in her hands to fall off her hands.“ I swear to god, I don't know what you're talking about. I have never cheated on Matthew before. I can swear on my mother’s grave “ Sophia’s tears dropped down. She wondered why all this was
The morning dawned like a masterpiece, waking the earth from slumber. The sun rose slowly that morning, painting the earth with a gentle brush of light. The night was the longest ever. Throughout the night, Sophia had kept her eyes wide open without a single thought to catch a sleep. She wept throughout, thought about her father, cousin, and ex-boyfriend, Shawn, and finally, the baby in her womb. Now, she did not know what to expect from the new day. It could be her last day on earth, who knows?Since last night she heard Matthew’s voice, he hadn't shown up again till now. It seems Matthew was always yielding to anything Kayla said, perhaps, Kayla has a strong influence on himIn the room where Sophia lay was an attached room. Must be the bathroom, she guessed. As a result of insomnia, Sophia was having a throbbing headache together with pains over her waist and face. Her bruises hurt as well. Unsteadily, she walked out of the bed to open the door of the attached room that
The morning came with a gentle wind that cooled the environment. The day of Joana's wedding was drawing closer. She has four days more for the big day. Knowles, Shawn’s father, has been asking her to come around. He misses her company greatly. It was another beautiful day, yet to Joana, the beauty of the day meant nothing but despair.Now she remembered all that Matthew said to her in his office the other day. That morning, she decided to call Nanny to confirm all that Matthew said. For now, she was confused as hell and would never believe Matthew's accusations against her sister. Nanny was busy so it took her about Fifteen minutes to round up what she was doing and meet with Joana.At the window, Joana kept gazing at the beautiful birds chirping and flapping their wings in a symphony of natural love. They were flawless living creatures without anything to worry about.God is amazing. She thought. Sometimes, she wished she could suddenly become like one of those birds then,
“ Joana, I think Matthew is wrong, remember he is a druggie. He can easily react to things negatively” Nanny explained after pondering deeply about the issue. This caused Joana to halt suddenly. Nanny is right. Matthew can be paranoid and react indifferently to things like this. Now she realizes the truth. Matthew is nothing but a beast after all.“ You are right Nanny. But how can Sophia be so daft to ruin her life by signing a contract marriage with Matthew and fooling us? Isn't this grave? How will my uncle feel if he finds out that his precious daughter deceived him all along?” “ I think Sophia regrets this too. But this is not the most important thing now, Joana. Let us find a way of saving her first before any other thing” Nanny persuaded.Exhaling, Joana slumped back into the bed but suddenly jerked, when Simon burst the door open.“ Good morning, Mr Simon, do you need anything?” Nanny cuts in.“ Uncle Simon, I told you to always knock on my door first” Joana replied brokenl
