Shawn knocked on the door with anger written on his face. He could not believe that Maya did not comprehend all he said in the hospital. “ I'm coming, hold on for a while” her voice thrilled from inside. “ My love, allow her to come,e and don't flare at her. She is a woman who is just desperate so, please follow her with wisdom “Joana's soft voice sent peace to Shawn’s soul and Shawn kissed her forehead while they waited for Maya.“ I don't think I can ever find a replacement for you on earth. Your understanding exceeds human comprehension. Thank you, my Angel” Shawn said.Soon, they could hear the tingling of keys and cracking of the door from inside, and the door flung open.“ Hi, honey” Maya squealed, trying to hug Shawn but was taken aback by Joana’s presence. “ You, What are you doing with my man? Haven't I warned you to stay away from him? He was mine okay? “ Maya snapped at Joana, provoking Shawn.“ Hey, don't you dare raise your voice at my girlfriend again and I am not you
Matthew’s car was packed outside when Shawn dropped Joana off at her uncle’s place. Shawn insisted on coming in with her but she declined and asked him to go back home. He was just coming back from the hospital and needed some rest.After bidding Shawn goodbye, she strode down inside.As she opened the door, she saw Sophia, Matthew, and Simon in the living room. Nothing bad seemed to be happening so she just greeted Matthew and went ahead to hug Sophia.“ Uncle Simo,n what is it? You scared the hell out of me” Joana fumed.“ Your uncle needed the attention of a woman and you were all gone with Shawn so…” Shopia cuts in.“ C’mon, Joana. You were gone all through the night and I was worried. You did not call to tell me you’ll be passing the night in Shawn’s place” Simon narrates and Joana collapses on the couch.“ Did you just pull a stunt on me?” Joana lamented. Simon just destroyed her sweet moment with her boyfriend. “ It's so cool here. Dad, I think I'll be taking my leave now.
Sophia ran downstairs thinking she would find Matthew in the living room but she found only her dad who held his magazine, trying to kill boredom. “Why are you in a haste, Sophia?” Simon asked, keeping his magazine on the table. “ See you next time Dad, I love “ She blew her Father kisses while dashing off to meet with Matthew who was pacing around beside the car. Elon had him called earlier telling him about the meeting with Derrick but he told Elon he wouldn't make it that day.“ Why have you been keeping me waiting Sophia? Do you think I have all the time on earth?” He yelled at her not minding the fact that he was in her father’s house.“ Can you please calm down? Why are you raising your voice at me and what was that message you sent me all about?” Sophia questioned.Before she could think to say a word, Matthew started the car trying to drive off but she immediately hopped in.In a short while, Matthew drove off, increasing his speed..While in the car, Sophia refused to ta
At about 10 pm that night, Sophia kept trying to reach out to Matthew but his phones were out of reach.She panicked. Ever since Matthew warned Sophia about Nanny Esung, the old lady has been avoiding and treating her more with respect just like Matthew had wanted. Now, she was all alone by herself. She stood up from the bed and walked to the living room while in her nightwear.She gazed around and there were no traces of Nanny around so she walked to Nanny’s room but she wasn't there.The kitchen lights were still on so, she suspected Nanny was the one in the kitchen.“ Nanny, It's late, what are you still doing in the kitchen?” She queried as she walked to the kitchen door.She pushed the door and all she could hear was the sound of a drinking glass slamming on the floorLifting her gaze, she saw a young man about 28 years of age, standing tall before her in the kitchen. “ I'm so sorry, did I hurt you, madam?” he asked, recognizing Sophia as his boss's wife-to-be.“Who are you
That night, a certain stillness engulfed the neighborhood. Elon has been killed and Matthew has run for his life. Matthew was in awe of how everything happened. “ Who gave the police the information about Derrick’s den, the deadly den that swallows people?” He kept pacing around the living room, soliloquizing, The lights were all put off and himself and Chris armed themselves with guns while awaiting to attack any foreign body. Sophia and Nanny have been freaking to hell from fright so Matthew sent the two women upstairs. He could hear the sounds of Moving cars parading on the streets because his mansion was close by the road.Walking to the window to see what was going on outside, he saw that the moving cars were not police cars so, she tossed himself on the couch.Earlier in Derrick’s house, Matthew had brought up the issue of Drill to Derrick.Derrick was so mad about Drill that he wanted to go out there and look for him but was stopped by Matthew and the other men.Once i
The sun rose earlier that day, casting an illuminating light upon the city, and drawing a somber aura in Matthew's mansion. Sophia lay on the bed that morning heavily weighed down in a potent mixture of despair and disappointment, flooding the bed with a bucket of tears. It felt like a once onslaught that had settled with her. The elaborate wedding she ever dreamt about right before her eyes turned into a family gathering. That morning, after making a call that crippled Sophia’s joy and happiness, Matthew left the house early, leaving Sophia drained in the tears of her misfortune. As she wept profusely, she laid her hand on her phone to call her the only person who mattered most to her with whom she could find solace. Her family; Joana.While she texted Joana to come see her in the opulent mansion, she resolved not to tell Simon, her dad a thing till she sees Joana and talks things out with her. After a few minutes, her phone ran out. It was Joana. Sophia guessed she was calli
“ What happened? What did Matthew do to you? Did he hit you again?” Joana said with a scowl on her face. She has seen her cousin get hurt so much that she felt like confronting Matthew at the moment. Sophia, after managing to steal herself, with the support Joana gave her, narrated with broken heart, how Matthew had called off her ever-beautiful dream wedding to a party comprising ten family members without genuinely telling her his true intention.Joana was heavy at heart after Sophia narrated her ordeal to her. It has been all her dream that she had Sophia, being sisters will have elaborate weddings and a home filled with love and happiness but now, it seems all of these are mirages wanting to end up in her head.“ Sophia, just calm down okay, I will speak to Matthew right now so we can rectify this issue ” Joana burst, taking her phone to call Matthew. “ What are you doing, Joana, everything has been ruined. And there is nothing we can do” Sophia, with a teary face replied, dis
As the morning drew near casting his dew in the opulent building, Sophia woke up while it was yet 5 am to give Matthew some sweet romance before she left for the hotel with Joana to be with her skin therapist and have her makeup done. Matthew, being always ready for the act, did not resist one single part of Sophia. He made love to her like he had never done before with his true feelings and Sophia enjoyed every bit of it.At about 6 am, she and Joana dashed out of the house, leaving Matthew to care about himself. Matthew, apart from Harrold, has no one else who is close to him even though he has a lot of friends so he decides to make Chris his best man instead. The wedding venue was still the formal place they had booked. After Matthew called the wedding planner, she did all things possible to satisfy Matthew. Once it was 9 am, Matthew and Chris hurried to the church in matching outfits. The red Brioni suit Matthew wore and his black shiny shoe sparked in such a way that the
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
