CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The reconciliation between Esther and Jina mesmerised Mellisa. There was confusion in the recesses of her mind. It seemed strange to her. "What has made mom change so suddenly? This is inconceivable!" She reckoned in her mind. It stands to reason that if she was really genuine, then she needed an appraisal.
After a relatively long group embrace, Jina released her grip and said,
"Alright, that's enough, girls. Help me set the table. I am ravenous." She was enthusiastic. She turned and strutted to serve her palatable meal. Esther smiled. She felt more relaxed than ever. Mellisa had qualms in her mind. Noticing how much Jina's repentance had thrilled Esther, she was a little bit scared. She would have told her not to read much into what her mother had said but decided to stay quiet and watch the space. Mellisa had a ready wit.

They were both full of sentiments but Jina managed to soothe him." I forgive you, honey. If anything, I should be the one begging for forgiveness. I caused everything, yes I did." She said to pacify him and then wiped his tears with her hand. Richard raised his face and looked at his wife. He held her face between his hands and kissed her and then leaned over her shoulder. In a moment he caught sight of a gold shining necklace which lay on the floor close to the window. It appeared to be Julie's. She might have dropped it while they were caressing last night. Richard's heart thumped with violence and almost ripped out of his chest."Richard, you are doomed. This is the end of the road for you. That necklace is an exhibit of your crime. It will expose the bare bones of your secret." He told himself and his chest heaved. He was in an abyss of despair. Jina

Jina's equitable behaviour towards Esther mesmerized everyone. She was no longer haughty towards her. At dinner, she pledged that henceforth she would sit beside her and be the one to serve her food. Richard furrowed his eyebrows questioningly. "How weird! Is she genuine or is there something hidden in her character?" He wondered, his eyes grumbling for the truth. It was incredibly beyond his belief and understanding that she would change profoundly in an instance. She seemed true and sincere. Richard gazed at his wife with awe. This is what he yearned for; to treat everyone without prejudice and with deserving respect. He cherished her more. Now, her character befitted her beauty and there was nothing as thrilling to him as that. Jina, after adding pieces of meat on Esther's plate, stole a fleeting glimpse at Richard. He was still staring at her astonished. She blushed and lowered her face. He was overwhelmed and couldn't hold back his feelings of gr

In this charade, where everyone sees Jina as a saint due to her presumed transformation, Esther will have to count the costs of Jina's disparaging character which she will have to disguise by crawling under the shell of innocence. Henceforth she must try to be wary and keep her game clean for her to be able to achieve the desired results.As she sat on the stool near the dishwasher, she conceitedly feels she had done a great deal of work so far which is purposed to Esther's detriment. She is anxious to call Tony, her goon whom she deems set fair to do a perfect job and whose collaboration is vital in this undertaking. Together they must eat from each other's hands to reap good results. I can't call. Someone might hear us. She mutters and instead sends him a text message and then places it again on the table. The expression on her face undoubtedly spelt every inch of d

Jina and Richard came down the stairs a moment later. One can easily tell that they are a happy couple by the way they eye each other and treat each other with much affection. Richard looked around the living room. There was hardly anyone visible. "Where are these girls?" He wondered. Jina, noticing that he was suddenly quiet stood in front of him, her eyes seeking his attention. "Hey, what is it, dear?" She said tapping her on the shoulder and then squeezing his hand. He switches his gaze to the beauty in front of him gazing at it with charm giving every appearance of being attracted to her. After gazing at her, he flashes an appreciative smile, his lean handsome face glowing, his curved pointed nose almost touching her face. He put his arm around her waist and drew her closer in an audacious manner beguiled by her beauty. Jina looked at him attentively, rolling her eyes. "I feel like kissing you, honey."

Despite the burning desire and anxiety to witness the entailments of the anticipated day, Esther was cynical to the whole idea. She had accepted to attend the party because she was cracking under pressure and ended up creamed by everyone's persuasion. Her mind was now crammed with questions; "What will I put on? I have absolutely nothing. The guests will all crane their necks to glance at me because I will be looking odd and weird like a fish out of water. I won't stand their unforgiving eyes. I am up the creek. I shouldn't have accepted. Damn the humiliation." She thought and was agitated. Partially, she was right. She barely had any better outfit to put on, not to mention going to the party. The only attire she thought reasonable was her floral long faded dress with a ribbon around the waist which had started fraying. This, her mother had sewn with her hands. Considering the class of people that would attend the party, it was crap. She wouldn't dare

As a responsible employee, Esther breaks off from the party striding with gaiety to unlock the gate. With the way she strenuously tugs it to open we gather that it is not an easy task for her considering her age and strength. She eventually succeeded and then stood aloof to let the car pass through and then fastened it. Jina bestows a furtive glance at her through the glass as Richard pulls on the brakes outside the garage and comes out rushing across the other side to open for his comely wife."Thanks, honey," Jina appreciated him with an alluring smile as she batted her eyes."Anytime, honey." He responded with radiance on his face and attempted to close the car door."Oh, wait!" She thwarts him before he closes the door. Richards brows raised at her."Um..

It was a blessed beautiful new dawn that slowly transformed into a bright morning. The long-anticipated day had finally presented itself with a clear blue sky. Nevertheless, it would be a fat lie if Esther claimed that she'd any interest in seeing it despite all its splendidness; the glimmer of the beaming rays of the sunrise that streamed through her window, the calm breeze that blew inside her room, the fragrant smell of roses which Jina had gathered outside the garden before the cock crow; these, she had deftly woven into garlands that she hung in the living room and they seemed to transmit their pleasant scent to the whole mansion. All these seemed to draw Esther into much distress. It's been hours since she woke up. To say the least, she hardly winked the whole night. As everyone was too expectant to embrace the pleasures of Britton's birthday, she spent the entire night trying on the awkward outfit that Jina had bought her.

It was a slap breakfast that should have been enjoyed by everyone, and yes, everyone did except Esther. She was anxious. Every minute that passed contracted her palate. She was tense and ground the food until it was pap in her mouth. Even then, it was hard to swallow it down her throat. Mellisa kept peeking at her and wondered, "Why isn't she eating?" She had no inkling what Esther was going through, but intuitively knew she was anxious. "This is so frustrating! I must feign sickness. I can't go." She thought. It wouldn't be easy for her to execute this plan particularly because it was never her suit.When breakfast was over, which she practically barely touched, she preceded everyone from the table and her cousins followed her.Jina lingered at them and shouted, "Girls, try to keep time. We still have a lot to do and there is little or no time left."

Their flight was at noon. Esther's crew sat charting in the departure lounge as they waited. Five minutes towards the flight, they had an alert. They had to leave the terminal. It was time to bid goodbyes, which is never an easy thing to do. Simon and Esther broke off and headed on to board the plane. Suddenly a middle-aged lady came running after them shouting and flagging down Esther, "Hey, Esther, wait! I have something important to tell you." She was looking desperate and weak with sunken eyes and a thin body, her hair rumpled. Esther looked behind and saw her and stopped, poking at Simon, " That lady…" "Love, do you recognise her?" Simon asked. Anyone would have thought she was mad gauging her appearance, but Esther decided to talk to her because, how did she get to know her name? There must be some co

Simon was now a desperate man. His luck presided in the hands of destiny. He was glad that at last Queen had regained her memory but on his part, it could have a negative impact, that is; if Queen failed to recollect ever having been part of his life. Richard would certainly accuse him and the mayor's family of keeping her away from her family. Do you know what would happen? He wouldn't spare them but send them to jail and they would rot there. So much the worse is that Simon ought to die of desperation for we all are acutely aware of his terrific love for Esther. He leaned against the wall and observed her sweet tender face incapable of accepting her rejection.Dr Ben stared at his desolate face and was touched. On mature consideration, he walks to him and tries to console him,"Take heart, Simon. Who knows, maybe when she wakes up agai

"Reverand, I need your help…" Simon spoke on the phone for quite a long time and in forty minutes, a light-skinned man dressed in a long white cassock came in and found him alone sitting on the chair conversing with Queen as if he was crazy. He didn't see him come in. The reverend stood behind him and listened to his monologue and was baffled, "What kind of faith is his! Surely the good Lord will not abandon him!" He meditated and tapped on him, "Son!" Simon jolted,"Eh, Reverand Antonio, welcome. Are you ready?" His face frowned."Son, are you sure that you want to do this?""Yes, Queen will love this. She was so happy before her wedding day. I am sure she will be much happier if she wakes up and finds out that she's already married to me. Nothing will ever separate us then."

Marriage eve "Simon!!" The noise was too loud to awaken a lying ghost. He had almost pushed it through his flesh until he saw her desperate face. "Kill me instead." She said coming closer. His hands shook with the knife. "Don't come close, Queen. I don't want to see your tears anymore. At Least save them for the future. Promise you will not lay a wreath on my tomb." Tears spilt down his face like rain. Miguel's legs were numb and he knelt on the floor begging for forgiveness. Emilia followed suit but their pleading voices were like thorns pricking deep in his heart. "Love, give me that!" Esther beseeched and he became weaker and weaker as if her timid voice was controlling him. To Emilia, this was a sign of what his son's life would be like if they got married; a putty in her

Simon sped off jauntily, jingling the car keys in his hands and came to the living room, his eyes scouring for his love. Esther sat sulking on the chair in the corner, her mind immersed in deep thought and her heart intense in sadness. Simon spotted her and shouted with verve, "Love!" Her head jerked up and she noticed that his face was swathed in a smile. It was symbolic of some good news but she seemed disinterested and merely returned a phoney smile. He moved nimbly towards her and enfolded her in his arms with vitality, "Love, finally mom and dad have accepted our relationship! We are getting married in two weeks!" He was extremely ecstatic."Really?""Yes, love! Very soon you'll be my legal wife- my better half!" He gave hearty laughter, kissed her and swung her around with a feeling of triumph.She had mixed f

There was a mien of fear in Maxwell's eyes because Sylvia dawdled to decide. "Three failed marriages!" She contemplated this and had niggling doubts about this sudden relationship; It was best to nip it in the bud before a heartbreak."Won't you mend my broken heart?" He asked in a shaky voice. Her silence seemed to deplete all his boldness and he was nervous."What a joker!" Emilia said and gave a mocking smile. She was having fun just like Miguel who was killing himself laughing.Suddenly, Simon, Nisha and Nathan started cheering, encouraging and coaxing Sylvia, "Say yes, say yes…" And the applause went on and on. She hoisted her face and gazed at them. They were happy for her, so why wouldn't she be happy for herself? Then she shifted her gaze to the man trembling in front of her and saw the tr

Esther saw Emilia first and quaked with fear trying to recoil from Simon's embrace and muttered,"Love, stop- it's your mother!"He twisted his neck and looked at Emilia and then ravished Esther with a kiss."It's high time she got used to this, love. I don't see any reason why I should feel guilty to show affection to the woman I love, otherwise, she might mistake me for a loveless man. Have you heard about this? He chuckled heartily and was ludic for a moment which made Emilia almost choke with a lump in her throat. Her lips quivered and she was speechless with rage. However, they knew that her silence was just a lull. She flew downstairs and went to look for Sylvia in her room because she had a lot to answer."How could she let this happen?. She will not l

Read at your peril.Esther didn't have any idea what to do or how to start, but when she saw the docility of Simon lying stiff on the bed near the oxygen machine, she flurried and run to him,"Simon, please don't leave." She lamented, her voice trembling with anxiety. She gave him a firm grip on his hand and fiddled his cold face. "It's me, love, wake up, don't do this to me... Okay, I accept I fouled up, but...I don't know how or when it happened. Maybe it was my frailty- the frailty of human nature. You hate me, don't you? I promise I will go far away from you, but you must wake up."Her eyes fraught with tears and she drew much closer and with fervour, she kissed him. Suddenly, his chest heaved and she stopped conscious of what she might have perceived as friv

Simon's health degenerated day by day which dealt a blow in Esther's heart and compelled her to contrive to stay around for the time being until the conundrum had been solved. Then one night- one cold night, he broke into continuous hiccups and had complications with breathing. Dr Maxwell came out of the room vexed and spoke to Miguel, "This is fatal!" Said Dr Maxwell. He was one of the most reputable doctors in the city. He too was frightened. Miguel jerked, debilitated by the doctor's statement. "What are you implying?" " He's not doing well, not at all!" How could he tell him bluntly that his son was on death's door? "I'll put him on the life-giving machine immediately. May God have mercy!" He turned to go, and
