Chapter 20Tipsy, but not drunk he stood up and staggered to the door turning it open. He almost froze.The sight before him tore him to pieces.Jerome was carrying her in his arms and she looks somewhat half dead, her eyes had become puffy and her once white-creamy face had become pale and red."You're excused" he whispered to Jerome as he carried her away from him, closing the door behind him. He placed her gently on his bed sitting beside her, her body was so cold. he lifted his hand and touched her forehead, it was hot burning from fever."Damn it!" He growled.He contemplated on if he should leave her and meet Brenda in the kitchen or patiently wait beside her and await Brenda. He stood up deciding to run down to the kitchen before her fever worsen. He opened the door and dashed out of his room heading to the kitchen.In what seemed like seconds, he finally got there. He met Brenda still preparing it."Are you done" he questioned.Brenda flinched and turned to face him, she was s
Tracy woke up feeling so weak, she stretched her arm and yawned.She opened one sleepy eye wondering why had her alarm didn't wake her up, she was sure It didn't rang. She had gotten used to being awoke by her alarm. She stretched her leg and almost screamed out, something was on her legs; her lap.No, it isn't something but someone; she could feel the exchange of gases that permeate through one's nose and the soft snores. Someone was sleeping on her lap!.She sat up rubbing her sleepy eyes wanting to be sure of her assumption as she stared at the sleeping figure before her."Master Cole?" She gasped.What was he doing in her room? She thought as her eyes Scan through the room, then it dawned on her that it wasn't her room but his.What then was she doing in his room. She thought again, For all she knew she couldn't remember going to his room. How then did she get here. she pondered."Oh!" She recalled having slept in that cold room he had ordered for her to be Locked in. How she ende

Inside her room, Tracy took her time with the preparation of her supposed date. She sat up straight facing her mirror cleaning her face with a clenser and other sort of facials. She wasn't a fan of makeup so she didn't bother applying some. She likes her face being smooth and flawless, free from makeup be it light or heavy.She was almost done when she heard a sudden knock at her door. She stood up still clad with her robe, she adjusted it then walked to the door opening it."Master Cole said to deliver this package to you" Jerome said handing her a box."Oh!"she gawped collecting it from him." He's waiting outside in his car, Meet him there when you're done" he announced not waiting for her reply then left abruptly.Tracy took the package inside closing her door.As curious as she was to open the package,she laid it on her bed opening it carefully till what was present inside came in view.Tracy could not help but gasp at the sight before her. The Vermillion red satin gown with the
They finally arrived at the fancy restaurant that's lavishly decorated, combined with the low lighting making the atmosphere romantic, the fresh flowers, taste full artwork, candle light and classical music wasn't an exception.Cole led her to a table that was decorated with linen, table cloths and napkins. She sat down still scanning her eyes through the restaurant. She has never been to such an amazing place before neither had she seen one aside from books and television.Oh, no wonder he had sent her the dress, she'd have been looking stupid if she had dressed plainly to such a place.She wasn't less excited that he had urged her to remove the morflar.She snapped out of her thought when the waiter requested for her order. She wrote down her order and was suprised when Cole ordered for the same thing."Thanks for bringing me here" she appreciated breaking the awkward silence that had filled their table." The dress suits you" he complimented ignoring her appreciation.Her face sudd
They were done with dinner and was about going when a lady accidentally poured wine on Tracy dress. She had apologized and had offered to clean her up in the female restroom, Cole had objected to it insisting she clean up in his car but Tracy had agreed to it saying she couldn't come out all wet and smelly so she had to go clean up. Inasmuch as Cole wasn't comfortable with the idea he didn't argue with her so he let her have way deciding to wait patiently for her since he couldn't accompany her to a female restroom.Tracy and the lady had just gotten to the restroom when the lady started sobbing." I'm sorry, I hadn't meant to drench you, I'm just so broken" she sobs cleaning Tracy up."It's okay, Don't cry everything is going to be fine" Tracy assured her wiping her tears with her thumb."Of all day....he decided to break up with me on my birthday" The lady continued sobbing loudly this time.What a heartless fellow. Tracy thought. Couldn't he have waited or perhaps used another day
TRACY"Emily nooooo!!" I shrieked as I saw her lifeless body falling down, I quickly hid to avoid the assassin from seeing me,immediately I noticed he had turned about to leave, seeing he had completed his mission.I waited patiently, ensuring his shadow his no longer in view before running to meet Emily."Emily, please hang on! Just for some few minutes and I promise you're going to be fine"I cried as I saw blood gushing out from her mouth."Re...ve..nge" she stuttered holding my hands with her eyes fixed on mine."I promise, Emily" I replied drawing her Pinky finger for a Pinky promise."Who's he and why had he shot you" I asked after realizing I just made a promise to revenge"He..he..is"she tried speaking but she started coughing out more blood.I gasps in fright, shut my eyes closed tightly not wanting to behold the sight of her loosing her last breathe.I cursed under my breathe promising to get r
Tracy sat up straight on her bed, she shared with her best friend, Jacqueline.Her mind pretty occupied with various thought she couldn't fathom.She sighed heavily as she stared at the wooden frame picture that was hung across the wall of her room.Her thought wander off as she looked at the smiling girl on the picture reminding her of how much she misses her sister.She couldn't believe the smiling girl was no more as she sob softly clenching her pillow tightly to her bosom.The door rattle open,she didn't seems to care knowing fully well it's going to be her friend Jacqueline."Tracy, guess what?" Jacqueline squealed sashing to where Tracy was smiling happily but quickly stopped as she noticed her mood.Jacqueline knew what would make her friend moody as she was.she had tried her best trying to make her forget her sister's death but Tracy was too eaten up to let go."Common! Tracy, how long are you going to keep mo
