Robert Declan I couldn't sleep the whole night, not after Rose threatened me with my unborn baby, I became confused on what to do. I don't want to lose Rose neither do I want to lose my unborn baby Rose is the air that I breathe, she's the only thing that adds meaning to my life, I'm nothing without her and it's driving me insane. She thought my parents hated her, and that's her reason for wanting to sign the whole of Declan's wealth into her name, her reasons are understandable but certainly not at this time My father is lying unconscious in the hospital and I can't make any decision without his consent especially when it has to do with Declan's empire, precautions have to be taken Rose left even before I could wake up this morning, I'm sure she's still upset, but today, I've made up my mind to meet my mind, maybe she will give me her consent or better still have a better option for me This whole scenario is driving me crazy and Rose is not helping issues at all, "Robert……!!
Mrs. Declan I couldn't control my tears, I slumped down on the couch, as tears blurred my vision, what has suddenly come over Robert? Why Is he behaving like this? His father is lying sick in the hospital and all he could think of is his selfish and ungrateful wife My heart is shattered and broken, all of this misfortune started immediately after Rissa left this family, and that which of a lady came in Rose's intention is to destroy my family but I'm not going to let her……I won't let her succeed in destroying my son, whatever her intentions are…she should be careful cause from now on, I'll be one step ahead of her as well If she thinks she can come from nowhere and take what she did not work hard for….then she better be lying, cause I'll not allow that to happen ever….. I heard the clicking sound of the door and raise my head to see its Jericho "Aunty….." He rushed toward me engulfing me in a tight hug "My dear….its been long don't tell me you forgot about us…." I smile as he p
Marrisa BonifacioIt's been one week since I started roaming the city of Mexico in search of a job. Everyday I come back and meet Mrs. Kathrine at home. I'm tired of telling her that I'm not successful today, I need today's story to be different.My stomach is hurting, I didn't eat in the morning cause I wanted to live early and now I'm very hungry, the harsh sun is beating me so hard, I keep looking around like a psycho. Everywhere I go they keep on saying no vacant. I'm even tired, the sun is getting too much, and I need a place to stay for some time. I'm losing my breath, and hunger is dealing with me.I kept on looking at around searching for a shade when suddenly the sweet aroma of food crossed my nose, my mouth watered and validated at once, I look beside me to see an eatery, I didn't know when I gulped down unknown saliva, I wanted to keep going my way since I don't even have any money in me, but No….I look down at my baby bump, my baby is starving I don't care if I have mone
Marrisa BonifacioI woke up early to get ready for today, somehow I felt like today is the beginning of something good in my life. The beginning of a new phase, new hopes, and new dreams and I don't want to thread it for anythingMy unborn child is looking up to me, Mrs. Kathrine is praying day and night for me to be successful, I can't have my revenge on Robert if I'm not rich and powerful, that's why I don't need mistakes, not now when the heaven is starting to smile at me.It's still five in the morning, I was done cleaning and tidying the house, I walk to the fridge and brought out the leftover from yesterday, I need to warm them for breakfast, I wanted to walk to the gas cooker when suddenly I felt dizzy, the whole place started going in circle, I tried hard to steady my steps but I couldn't, the plate of food fell from my hand and splashed all over the floor"Ahhh….!." I hissed in pain as the dizziness increased, I held onto my head with my right hand while I use my left hand t
Marrisa Bonifacio The day is getting dark, the time is drawing near, I'll be stripping when the day gets darker, which means I won't be going home early today. I have already promised it, I made up my mind, it's just for seven days and after it, nobody will tell me to strip again. I will have my life back and most importantly I'll have my job. I stay in the bar where wine is served, I'm the bartender. I serve wines to the customers and I must say today has been going so nice. If I work here for a long time then I can save up money and start my own wine bar, I already plan to start small and maybe from there I'll kick off big I didn't plan to work as a bartender forever, I will definitely become rich one day and till that day comes, I'm not giving up "Hi…..!" I heard a loud bang on the table "Yes…..sss….." I stuttered, jotting out of my thoughts. I look up and notice it's one of the waitresses in the bar. And this particular lady has been eyeing me since today, and heard she's se
Marrisa BonifacioThroughout the ride back home, I couldn't still believe I earned two hundred dollars in just one night only from stripping and twerking on the pole.If someone had told me I would be earning this much I could never have believed that person. I can't stop looking at the nylon sack that I'm holding.It's so filled up with money, smiles formed on my face, as a thought suddenly came to my mind, What if I decide to strip for a whole month?No….I wouldn't be doing that, I can't let my desperation for money get the best of me, I'm only going to strip for a week, I'll save the money I earned for that week and work hard….If I save enough money from my salary maybe I'll open my own bar "Ma we're here" The Uber driver's voice jolted me out of my thought"Ohh….." I raised my head and saw we're in front of Mrs. Kathrine's house.I stepped down from the car and paid the Uber driver before walking into the house.I opened the door "Ohh my gosh….!" I screamed in shock holding ont
Married BonifacioI stood up wiping my mouth with the wipes"Mrs. Kathrine thank you so much for the breakfast, it's so tasty" I smile fumbling with my bag since I'm late for work"Don't you think it's time you start calling me mom?" I heard her say, I raised my head immediately and looked at her, but was shocked to see she's serious"Mum…….?" I drawled in a questioning manner"Yes dear mum….I know you might find it awkward, and since I'm not your mum you….''" No..no… it's fine" I muttered hurrying closer to her, I stood beside her with a face filled with smiles"Mum….." I called and she raise her head in surprise, maybe she wasn't expecting that"Yeah…. " I nodded my head in smile"You…you…called me mum""Yeah..I've always wanted to do that but I was scared maybe that won't sit well with you""Off course not, come here my dear" She opened her arms in a wide embrace, I didn't hesitate before rushing into her warm embrace, We stayed like that for some seconds with her patting my back
Married BonifacioI kept on tossing around the bed, I couldn't sleep. Today is the day I'll go to the hospital for antenatal, I'm nervous and excited at the same timeI mean it's been four months since I divorced Robert, Four months of accepting defeat, and believing that he can never be mine, These past four months have thought me a lot, and the most important lesson I learned is never to beg someone to love me, and that was my biggest mistakeI let my guard down, I did everything possible for Robert to look my way, I went as far as taking all sorts of humiliation just for him to see my heart, the purity of my love, and the sincere heart of mine…But gone are those days when he made me pass through hell, gone are those days when I would when lick his feat just for him to blink at meThese days all my focus and care goes to my unborn child, not a grown-ass man who's confused about lifeBut one thing is certainly for sure and that is….I will return gloriously and I Marrisa will pay Ro
