Sally

It has been two days now. I continued to pretend not to know anything about Levi and as for Pamela, she was like a Shadow.

I hardly ever saw her, it was either she was in her room or out doing god knows what!

I knew she was avoiding any situation that would lead to her secret getting out. She didn't want Cisco to know and they had been avoiding each other since. I noticed there was something heated going on between them.

As for Cisco, he left the house before dawn and came back late.

I was in my office that morning trying to get used to working without Payton. She should be back by today or tomorrow and my children will be resuming classes next week.

Levi was resuming with them. Mrs Harper had told me that he wouldn't be able to cope in school, but I didn't think so. If anything, he would do perfectly well, especially with Iris in the same grade and classroom as him.

Everything should work out fine.

I heard a knock on my door a few seconds la

    Sally - what is this meeting for? And why wasn't I informed ?-I asked, my dad was probably clueless about what was going on. He probably thought I freely gave Cisco my shares. - what are you talking about? It was you who called for the meeting. Francisco said you wanted him to take over because you're too occupied with other businesses, he even sent me a mail of the documents you gave him - my dad said at the other end. He was clueless just as I thought.- Dad... cancel the meeting because I never arranged for one, Cisco stole those documents just like he did with RAD Corp - The was silence on the other end and then a scoff.- You're spouting nonsense again, Sally- I bite down on my lips; once again, he was on Cisco's side.- Dad, Cisco isn't who you think he is. He wants to steal the company we have worked hard to build, and I have a feeling he would probably sell it and then take the money somewhere far away because if he doesn't, he knows we wouldn't let him go Scot-free-My

    Sally Pamela sat across from me, staring at her fingers. I had made her wait for almost an hour before allowing her to see me. I wasn't interested in what she had to say because all that ever came out of her mouth were lies. I didn't trust her one bit after she lied to me when she first came and whatever she was going to say now was going to go through my left ear and come out of the right. I straightened my back. " You can talk now." I kept my voice even.She took a deep breath and started talking. " I'm guessing you are already aware that Cisco already has his hands on the Tearang group?" I nonchalantly replied." Yes, I'm aware and no, he doesn't have his hand on Tearang group."" You should stop him before he takes over completely." She added. I scoffed, was she trying to annoy me? " I just said that he doesn't have his hands on the Tearang group; I have everything under control!" She retorted. " I know, I just wanted to make sure."" If you don't have anything me

    Sally Nora was crying beside me. I tried to console her, but she kept crying." No!... please don't take my daddy away!" She attempted to run after the cops who dragged Cisco away but I caught her just in time." Mummy, Grandpa do something..don't let them take him." She cried as she nudged my chest. My dad did his best to ignore her and just stood there with his hands in his pocket.My eyes were stinging, but I didn't care; he deserved it. " I can't, Your daddy did something horrible, so he has to pay for his crimes." " But mummy, they can't take him to prison ....it's not a nice place," Mia spoke, she was also crying. Only Iris didn't cry, but she wasn't happy either. She was just trying to hide it.I watched as he got into the van, he threw a knowing glance at me. I couldn't read his expression because half his face was covered in blood. He looked away and bowed his head. I thought he had fainted and almost rushed to him but stopped myself when he placed his head on the

    SallyThis is my story, my life. The twists and turns of a thirty-year-old woman. If you'd listen or rather read then you might just be able to imagine being in my shoes.You might be able to see and feel all that happened in my life. There's nothing worse than being in love with someone, exchanging vows with that someone, loving that someone for over ten tears only to find out that it was all a fake. Ten years of marriage was all fake.****I was on my way back home from a wedding Liz invited me to. I initially did not want to go, but after much pressure from her, I finally got dressed for the wedding.I decided to use this as an opportunity to have some fun. Having been too occupied with work for months, this was a perfect opportunity to let out some steam.We got to the church just as the ceremony was about to start. The wedding ceremony wasn't luxurious, it was rather low-key.The church was on the outskirts of town. Maybe they were a humble couple and didn't want a showy wedding.

    Sally Pamela was a skinny big-eyed lady, short with very slim legs, short brown hair and a face that looked like a flattened O. Her skin colour was dark brown, and her big brown eyes looked like they were going to pop out of their socket anytime soon. It's been seven days since I attended my husband's wedding, and today, I was at a cafe with Liz. I had to leave the house to clear my head and lessen the pain I felt in my heart. We just sat there, and Liz kept whistling, trying to soothe the tense atmosphere. I hadn't done anything, I didn't go to work. I couldn't eat, I just stayed up in my room staring at the ceiling while my girls kept me company. Iris wasn't particularly happy about the fact that a stranger was living with us. She was ten and she understood what the situation was. Her sisters were either oblivious or simply just didn't care. "I think you should get a divorce, no, you're getting a divorce," Liz said. I had thought about it but I didn't want to be a d

    Sally I got home late and met Cisco sitting on the balcony; Pamela was sitting on his lap. She was equally flirting with him; they were both laughing so loud that the sound of their voice felt like needles in my ears. It pained me so much to see them together. I still couldn't imagine that Cisco just threw away ten wonderful years of marriage. We even had three children! He should have at least thought about how the girls would feel. I shook my head, ignoring them and went straight into my bedroom and to bed. I'm still living in this house for revenge. Revenge! That's what's keeping me going. The next day, I was in the kitchen with Iris, preparing breakfast. I was going to play the good wife with a hidden agenda. I was just in the mood for a little evil. "Iris!" I called. Iris dropped the carrot she was chewing on and ran over to me. "Yes, Mum?" "Help me set the table " As much as I didn't want; to, I had to. She gave me a weird look. "Mum, I'm sorry, but I ca

    Sally " I don't know what to do."Pam said. "why don't you find a way to contact your fiancee and tell him about your situation." I suggested. " I can't do that." She looked away. I became suspicious" And why is that ?" " Because Cisco threatened to harm him if I tried to seek his help. That's why I'm coming to you."Pam said in anguish. I furrowed my brows, something doesn't add up here." Are you trying to say that your fiancee hasn't called you for the past two weeks." " Well.... he has."she finally replied reasonably. " Soo....?what did you tell him about your whereabouts?" She sighed heavily." Cisco made me lie to him the first time he called,I told him that I was attending a distant relative's funeral in Asia and I would be back before our wedding." " Wow !!..... I have to hand it to him, he's really good at lying." "Sally you have to help me soon." She took hold of my hand again and squeezed it . "I have to get back to Nigeria for my wedding,he was already r

    Sally I was getting dressed in my room, my three daughters were sitting on the bed as they watched me get dressed. I was preparing to go out with Pamela. I now regretted telling Pamela that we would talk somewhere else. The weather was So nice today and perfect for a nap, but I couldn't sleep because of my plans with Pamela. "Mum I kinda like Pamela." Mia, my second daughter, said. " I don't want you to like her, "I replied sternly. They hadn't even met properly, and Mia was the type of child who was over-friendly and jovial. " But why? Nora said she talked with her yesterday and she seemed nice." She pouted. "We just met her, she might be nice on the outside but not on the inside. Whenever I'm away, stay in your rooms till I return okay? " "Yes mum," they replied in unison. "Now help me pick a dress, do you think I Should wear black or red?" I changed the topic quickly. "Black looks pretty good to me ".Iris complimented. "Yeah me too," Mia added. " What about y

    Pamela At exactly 1 am, I sneakily came out of my room. I put on a black hoodie and black shades; I had somewhere to be right now and couldn't afford to get caught. I walked quietly into the living room and went to the key holder to grab the gate keys. I tried so hard not to make any noise but of course, these keys were noisy." Where are you going this late?" I heard someone say behind me. My heart almost jumped out of my chest, I tried hard to look normal.I turned around to look at Levi. He was staring at me blankly; I hadn't expected him to be up at this time.I looked around to be sure we were alone and rushed up to him. " What are you doing here? How did you get here?"I gripped his shoulders so hard like I was trying to squeeze answers to a million questions out of him." I was wandering around. Sally saw me and brought me here." He adds." What about your dad ?" " He didn't know I left the house, grandma doesn't know too."I suddenly had the urge to knock on his head. "

    Pamela I rushed into my bedroom, shut the door and put down the curtains. My hand was trembling and my body was shaking as I stumbled into the bathroom. I looked around just to be extra sure I was alone in my room. I dialled a number so fast I could hardly see my fingers moving. I didn't understand what Levi was doing with Sally, and I had only one person to explain that. It only meant that Levi had been with them for a while, and that wasn't good news. I silently prayed that Cisco didn't find out anything or it would ruin me.I knew Cisco didn't trust me anymore, and he just bailed me out of prison because I blackmailed him with Freya's death. I had a hunch Steven was behind this; he knew every single thing about what I had done in the past, and I had a feeling he was going to use it against me. The phone rang but there was no response. I was losing my patience.I dialed it several times but still no answer. "Ughh!...Pick up, you bastard!"I screamed out in fr

    Sally Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes to hours, and hours to days. Soon, the week ran out, and it was time for Pamela's bail. I knew she was coming back here because Cisco had her room cleaned, and I watched as he drove out of our house to pick her up. I felt anger and pain clouding my vision. I couldn't believe Cisco could be this heartless.I couldn't believe this was the same man who made those promises to me. The house had been quiet for the past few days, I had been going to work, and Payton hadn't returned yet. She actually informed me that she would be returning in two days. Besides that, everything was peaceful. Levi was doing well; he still didn't talk much, but he responded at times and I noticed that he talked more when he was around Nora. It's probably because she was always nagging him, and I still didn't understand the chemistry between Iris and him. They seemed to hate each other; they kept glaring and speaking to each other coldly, alth

    Levi I didn't like her, she was nice but I didn't like her company. Her daughters were worse; I wish I could hide somewhere in their house and never come out. If I had known it would be like this then I wouldn't have agreed to live with her. Grandma told me that I would be able to see my mum if I lived with them but now I think I could actually be alright without seeing her. I had lived almost my whole life without my mother so I was pretty used to it. To be honest, I barely recalled how she looked except for the few pictures I had seen. I didn't need her; my grandma and my dad were enough for me, so I didn't see why my grandma had to make a fuss about me wanting a mother. I hated socializing, I hated seeing people except for my grandma and dad. They all looked like a bunch of bees swarming after a honeyhive. I hated school.To me, the school was a prison where I had to bear the company of noisy bees who called themselves kids. This was one of the reasons

    Iris I couldn't stop staring at the strange kid mum had brought home just a few minutes ago and now I had to prepare a room for him. My mum had initially insisted that we share a room. Like I should really share a room with a boy! The male gender, an unknown boy.That was never going to happen! And now I took it upon myself to prepare the guest room for him. I would let him stay in my room till I was sure my mum was asleep and then kick him out. Just the thought of us sharing a room made me want to puke. Even my sisters were against it. Well, they were certainly glad that they weren't in my position. I had begged them to volunteer their rooms for the strange kid, but they refused. I never knew they hated me this much. The strange boy just sat there in our sitting room staring at his fingers. He hadn't even moved a muscle since he came. Mum was preparing dinner and she had asked my sisters and me to keep him company. Unfortunately, my sister hat
