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
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
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
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
