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
