What to do,Leave or stay...The pain is so much,It's leading my heart astray.©Oluwatoyosi. Precious POV I couldn't feel anything, my body was numb. I was surrounded by total darkness. Was I dead? I could hear beep sounds but couldn't open my eyes. It was like they were trapped shut. I pushed myself to open them but I could only hear faint beep sounds. "Please wake up Ife. I miss your eyes, your voice" a faintly familiar voice whispered, probably a man. He was crying but why? I couldn't see him, so, I strained my ears so I could hear him properly. "My life is a mess right now. I can't work because all I think about is you. No one says anything but their faces show that it's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you that night. I should have trusted you" his voice broke. He sounded so familiar. I racked my brain to remember the voice or at least why he said those things. He should have trusted me. But why would I need his trust? I tried tuning myself back to
Why would she react to my name? She probably remembers what I did and wants me to escape her. The thought irked me. I didn't want to leave. In fact, I wanted to be right here when she woke up. I had prayed and prayed to God for her to wake up and I’d be damned if I missed it. The doctor left after giving her a sedative which made her calm down and falls asleep. "Ethan, you need to rest, eat and bathe. I'm sorry but you stink and I'm sure you don't want her to wake up and see you like this." Funke said with her hands on her nose dramatically. I shook my head in denial. "I'm not leaving this room. I'll have my driver bring my toothbrush and other things with new clothes here and I'll use the toilet but I'm not leaving her" she sighed because she knew she wasn't going to win the conversation. Everyone had tried to get me to leave this room but I just kept their voices out. I sat down on the couch with my hands on my head. "I brought this meal for you. At least eat something that
Pain makes the heart weak,It breaks from the inside,It could cloud our judgment,And break lovers apart...©Oluwatoyosi Precious POV Pain. All I felt was pain. All I remembered was pain. My heart was broken all over again, my body was waging a war against my mind. I couldn't think straight and all I saw was darkness. I pushed myself to the limit, telling myself there was light after this. My body was in pain yet I struggled to keep moving. And then it was like there was a door. Pushing it open, I forced myself to open my eyes and I was hit with light. I fluttered my eyes open, blinking furiously to adjust to the light in the room. It was painted cream and I could hear a beeping sound to my right. I heard voices and I turned my head to where the sound is coming from. I saw Funke, Joel, Rose, and Ethan's dad. "Funke" her head whipped to my side even though my voice was slightly lower than a whisper. "Ife, oh God thank you. You’re awake, I'm so happy" sh
ETHAN'S POV After an hour, my parents left. Joel went to the company while Funke went to get some food. I sat by her side holding her hand while working. I felt a stir and looked up to see her fluttering her eyes open. I stood up and dimmed the lights. "Hmm... " she croaked out and I rushed to get the water by her table. Giving it to her she gulped it furiously. I took the cup and placed it down. I just sat there by her side. I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to trigger her again so I kept silent and held her hand. "Where am I," her beautiful voice asked. "The hospital. You had many injuries but they were able to stabilize you" I explained softly. "I was out for nine days, who knew I could sleep that long" she tried to joke and I smiled. At least she was talking suddenly her mood changed seriously. "What happened to them?" I knew whom she was talking about and I stiffened. "In the prison where they would never hurt anyone again" my voice was hard but it softened at th
We think what we want to think,We say what we want to say,We love who we want to love,But does our heart and brain go with it?©Oluwatoyosi Precious POV "Is there anything else you need?" Ethan asked me as he went to the door to get the wheelchair. My legs were still wobbly, so I had to either use these or crutches. And to think that after a week, I would have been able to move properly. "No, just want to get out of this place" I replied honestly. I've had enough of the hospital smell and food. I wanted to go home and eat and just sleep on my comfortable bed. At least, we were leaving now. "Okay then let's go" I nodded and moved myself to sit on the wheelchair but it was hard considering I couldn't walk properly. Ethan came to my side and picked me up without a fuss and placed me in the wheelchair. I muttered thanks and a sigh of relief. I was finally leaving this place. Ethan wheeled me to his car, and I remembered when Funke told me she wasn't going to pick me up cause
When the pain is too much,Take a break.© Oluwatoyosi Precious POV I was stirred awake by someone shaking me. Fluttering my eyes open, I saw that it was Funke grinning wildly at me. I turned over until I was laying on my side. "Leave me alone" my voice came out muffled because of the pillow as I threw the other pillow at her. I closed my eyes again awaiting my second round of sleep when I was hit hard with the pillow I threw. I jumped awake ready to hit her again. "What is it" I whined on the bed. I needed sleep. I just wanted to sleep all day. Funke hit me again with the pillow and I took it from her and attacked, hitting her with it furiously while she laughed. "Didé járé, já Jádé. Liya n duró dé wá" she voiced out still laughing and I stopped the attack. ( Stand up, let's go out. Liya is waiting for us). "Mí o fè jádé. Mo kàn fé sún" I sat back down on the bed and pouted looking at her. (I don't want to go out. I just want to sleep). "Jó nàw. Óyá má rá gbógbó óunjé tó m
I had thought my life would hold so many surprises but meeting a billionaire, falling in love with him when I came to New York to get away from my past, being heartbroken by this billionaire once, then being kidnapped and hurt by the man I have finally thought, I'd grow old with, was not a part of my plan. But we don't always get what we want. I remember telling Ethan that I didn't want to get broken again, and I was scared of falling in love with someone out of my league but I guess life had other plans. The pain I felt during the kidnap was bearable but whenever I thought of how Ethan couldn't believe me, someone he claimed to love just broke me. Yes, a relationship needs love but trust is required as a foundation as well. We might love someone and not trust them but the two needs to be balanced. "Liya, it's not that I don't want to give him a chance. It's just I can't forget all he said. He hurt me Liya. Granted he never laid a finger on me but his words were more than a sla
Whenever my mum asked me to follow her to the market in Nigeria, I would do everything I could to get out of it. Mostly because the sun in Nigeria was like heating someone under a rock. I never liked shopping and right now, I was trying my possible best to keep up with the enthusiastic girls before me. My legs were exhausted and my back was hurting but I didn't want to spoil the fun so I followed them. We went to Victoria's secret store. "Let's get some lingerie" I choked on my saliva at how loud she sang the words out. She turned and smiled innocently knowing full well what she did. We entered the store and picked out some according to Liya, sexy-as-hell undergarments. I knew I wasn't going to wear them anytime soon so I picked some cute ones as well. "How does this look?" we looked up to see Liya in a corset. I burst out laughing at how she displayed herself. Out of we three, she was surely the crazy one but I loved her that way. "It looks sexy" I squealed. It was true, she
