Sheena returned to her bedroom in the middle of the night very oblivious to the pair of eyes watching her.

She hummed her delight after spending the night in the arms of her lover. It was blissful and she wished every other night was like this.

She was about to shut the door to her room when a noise from downstairs caught her attention.

Curious, she headed back down to check the source of the disturbance. As she reached the foot of the stairs, Sheena let out a resonant shriek that woke everyone in the house.

The scene before her was gruesome!

Daisy, the last born child of Mr Dominic from his second marriage which ended in a divorce, was curled up on the floor in a pool of blood.

Sheena trembled with overwhelming fear. She presumed an intruder was in the house who was responsible for Daisy being in that state and she feared the intruder might come for her too.

Sheena's scream alerted everyone in the Rollins house.

Jake rushed out of his room immediately he heard her screams. She had

    Jake came back home the next morning. He met Sheena cuddled up on the sofa sleeping. He moved to her, leaned in and kissed her lips lightly.Sheena's sleepy eyes fluttered open and when she saw it was Jake who had kissed her, she jerked up awake, scanning the room.'We are alone.' He calmed her.She relaxed and took a look at him. He looked exhausted. She could tell he barely had any sleep last night.'How is she?' Sheena asked him, recalling the events of the previous night.'The doctor says she's stable. She needs to be kept under observation for a few days before she'll return home.' Jake answered her question, taking a seat beside her.'Did she say why she did it?' Sheena's eyes were full of concern and curiosity.'She wasn't awake when I left. She was pretty much knocked out the whole night. The doctor said she'll come around by noon. I decided to come home first before going back.''How are you?' She asked him, seeing how exhausted he looked. She yearned to comfort him.'I'm oka

    Sheena stayed with Daisy after Mr Dominic and Jake had left. The doctor had said Daisy would be discharged later that day.Sheena was arranging Daisy's things when she heard a knock on the door. Surprised, she goes to open the door.'Where is my daughter?' A young woman with a stern face questioned Sheena at the same time eyeing her down.'And you are?' The question was already out of Sheena's mouth before she realized who the woman could be.'And you are the young new wife.' She spoke condescendingly to Sheena.Sheena moved to the side to let her in. She was thinking to herself, wondering why Mr Dominic divorced this woman because she was beautiful.'Mom?' Daisy's small voice called.'My baby. Oh my God! Look at you?' The woman cried at the sight of her daughter. 'I'm here dear, I'm here now.' She spoke reassuringly to Daisy as Sheena stood watching the reunion.'Diana Page.' Mr Dominic growled.Sheena had been so engrossed in watching the mother and daughter that she didn't notice

    Sheena stood at their usual spot waiting for her lover. The events of the past few days had prevented them from properly seeing each other and she missed him.She moved to sit on the swing chair and she began to slowly rock herself to a rhythm.Her mind was a maze. Diana, since she moved into the Rollins house had joined the group of people out to get Sheena.Diana was always making one snide remark or the other about Sheena. She became the object of unity between Mirabel, Michelle, and Diana herself.Mirabel and Michelle had never liked Diana, but seeing that Diana hated Sheena was a good enough reason for them to become friends.Their hatred for Sheena was the only thing they had in common. Sheena couldn't understand why Diana hated her though. The woman didn't know her. It was not as if Sheena stole her husband from her. They were long divorced before Sheena came into the picture. Unless Diana was still in love with Mr Dominic which Sheena very much doubted.Sheena heaved a tired

    Sheena was stunned by what she had just heard Diana say. She looked at Diana who returned her stare with cold eyes. 'You're welcome.' Diana said with a chuckle and left Sheena alone still in shock.Sheena was baffled and kept replaying her conversation with Diana in her head. Was she considering Diana's advice as an option? She didn't realize she had been unconsciously voicing her thoughts.'What are you saying? You want to kill my father?' Mary asked as she walked into the kitchen to find Sheena almost in a trance and talking to herself.Mary's voice jolted Sheena and she snapped her head to her.'Um um no, it's nothing.' Sheena stuttered.'I know what I heard and I heard you talk about killing Mr Dominic.' Mary insisted as she was so sure she had not misheard Sheena.'What did you just say?' Mirabel asked as she joined them to hear part of the conversation.Sheena and Mary became scared at hearing Mirabel's voice. Sheena was scared because Mirabel would be quick to interpret the s

    Sheena felt the world was resting on her young shoulders. She had just received news that her father had taken ill.The incident of losing his house was too much for him. Elena sounded very worried over the phone when she called Sheena. Elena had said it looked serious and she was scared.Sheena wanted to be there with her father. If she was going to lose her father, then she wanted to be there with him during his last moments.But she couldn't leave the Rollins house. She couldn't go see her father. Mr. Dominic had forbidden her from stepping out of his house. This restriction was mainly to stop her from going to her father.Mr Dominic was trying to be careful. He was married to the daughter of a man whom he had cheated. Anything could happen and he was taking measures to avoid any eventualities.Now, Sheena sat in the living room of the Rollins house, looking wishfully at the front door with tears in her eyes and pain in her heart.'Thought of how to do it yet?'Sheena turned to whe

    Jake had just ended his meeting with Damian. He shook his head at himself as he exited the office building.He had to admit that Mr Dominic was a smart man. When Jake had refused to take up his offer of being a part of his company, his father had come to him seeking the services of his tech company.Mr Dominic proposed such a good deal that Jake's business mind ignored whatever relationship feud they had going.Jake was leaving when he met Michelle walking in. Michelle had never liked Jake, so she gave him a dirty eye down and hissed at him before passing him. Jake was used to the resentment she had towards him and he ignored her.'What did he want?' Michelle asked Damian as she walked into his office.'Business.' Damian curtly responded. His tone was weighty with irritation.Michelle doesn't pick up on his unwelcoming demeanor and probes further.'What kind of business could you have with that bastard?' She asked and took a seat opposite his desk. She settled in comfortably and began

    Jake sighed as he settled in his office. He took off his suit jacket and hung it on the coat stand by the corner and loosened his tie. He arrived mid-day after meeting with Damian. He was exhausted. The new project he was working on with his father's shipping company was very promising but tiring. It required a lot of data analysis which was why he frequented the Rollins' shipping world.Jake stared at the stark of files sitting neatly before him. He would have rather gone home to relax and call it a day, but he had so much to do that he couldn't afford the break. He reminded himself that he didn't get to where he was by taking breaks.He heaved and shook his head. A mental jolting to himself to get back to work. He picked up the first file and after going through it, needed to sign it. His eyes roved the table for his pen and he opened his drawer to grab a pen.Jake paused at the sight he was met with upon opening the drawer. He smiled to himself as he picked up the picture of Sheen

    'I can't believe you had the picture framed.' Sheena told Jake as they lay tangled between the sheets in each other's arms.'You don't like it?' He asked.'I love it! You were right, it's beautiful. I almost didn't believe it was me.' She shrieked in excitement.Jake chuckled at her childish excitement.'I told you it was beautiful. It was worth framing.' He said to her.'Okay, okay, you were right. Would you stop gloating now and let me have my peace? She chided jokingly.'Let me think -Jake placed a finger under his chin- No, I won't let you have any peace.' He told her as he moved, shifting her from his arm where she laid her head.He moved himself and laid on top of her. Sheena adjusted herself, granting him a comfortable space between her legs.Jake propped himself up with his elbows, resting on both sides of her face. The bulk of his weight; his middle, pressed tightly into her open legs.He was gazing at her, a proud smile plastered on his lips.'I love you, Sheena.' He announc

    Jake and Sheena exchanged confused looks. What was Mirabel talking about? Their minds shared similar questions.'I need to tell you something about my father's death.' Mirabel announced.'What about our father's death?' Jake asked. They had moved to the study where they could converse in private. Sheena and Jake kept expectant eyes peeled on Mirabel.'I … I.-' she inhaled sharply before she continued. 'I know I've not been the best of persons but I'm working on myself. Hating the one man who had taken me in and had shown mercy on a lowly young orphan. I know now the old man loved me, loved us, even if he never showed it much. He's human after all and bound to make mistakes.' Mirabel swallowed before she began speaking again. 'I had always wanted him dead. Now that he's dead, I regret not having more time with him… I never had the courage to kill him even though I would have loved to, but I wouldn't have stopped anyone wanting to. This was before I knew the truth.''Mirabel, do you k

    Sheena opened her eyes to bright blinding lights. She squinted trying to adjust her eyes to the lights, but shut them after an exhausting attempt. She let out a laborious breath so she could speak, but somehow, she didn't seem to find her voice. She felt parched, her throat overly dry and painful.She opened her eyes again, blinking severally to accommodate the light. After her success at it, she scanned the room. White pristine walls, huge beeping machines, a tray filled with medicines and needles. A hospital. It clicked. She was in the hospital.How did she get here? Memories of the previous day's event flood her mind as she wondered."Jake!" Was he okay? Did Damian shoot him too?Anxiety and fear hijacked every cell in her being. Her breathing hitched and she struggled to raise herself. The effects of the sedatives were still very much active, she felt dizzy but undeterred.'Hey! What are you trying to do?' The concerned voice filled the room as the intruder pushed the door hard,

    'He didn't suspect a thing?' The skepticism in Jake's voice was evident.They had just finished making love. Sheena was resting her head on the muscled bare chest of Jake. She related her experience with Damian to Jake as she idly pulled on his chest hair, a sweet painful sensation for him.Sheena shrugged. 'I couldn't believe it myself. He just went to sleep without saying a word.''I think he is brewing something in that egregious mind of his. He can't be that collected after discovering you went out.' Jake spoke pensively. He paused weighing the possibilities before speaking again. 'And today?' He asked. 'Did he say anything to you today?''He left the house before anyone was up.' She raised her head to stare at him, studying his features. 'Maybe he's tired of paying me any attention. He's got too much trouble on his hand right now. You made sure of that… I don't think it's something to worry about.' She added.'I just have a bad feeling about this. It just doesn't seem right.' It

    'I love you.' Jake whispered to Sheena as they lay on the large hotel mattress. His hand wrapped around her neck, he pulled her closer and planted a passionate kiss on her head.'I love you too.' Sheena replied and kissed him on his lips. She snuggled closer into his hold. Her desire to remain there glaring.Sheena and Jake have been meeting over the past few weeks. Sneaking in and out of hotels like teenage lovers. After that night at the Rollins house, it seemed as though they've never been more in love with each other. Always wanting to be near the other, making mad sweet love.'Hmm, delicious.' He said in reference to her kiss. He moved in to steal more kisses and Sheena laughed at his boyishness.'What?' He asked against her lips. 'You want it here?' He tickled her sides and she laughed harder. He nibbled on her lower lip as she laughed.'Or you want it here?' He trailed kisses down her neck and Sheena girlishily giggled. 'Or here?' He moved further down her breast and took a ni

    'What do you want? Why are you here?' She turned to Mary. You let him into the house? 'Is he why you brought me here?' Sheena asked incredulously.'Please calm down, you're raising your voice. You'll make Damian come here ' Mary pleaded.'Let him come! At least, he'd get rid of this-' she eyes Jake in disgust, indecisive on what adjective to qualify him.'You'll wake up Jayden. Look at her, do you want to wake her?' Mary appealed to her reason and love for her child.Sheena turned her gaze to the bed and softened. Her anger rose again at the sight of Jake near Jayden. 'Get away from my daughter!' Sheena bellowed at Jake. She charged towards him and yanked his hand away from the child. She relaxed again as she watched the child. She smoothed her hand on the silk of Jayden's hair.The sigh of contentment and peace that escaped the child's lips, assured Sheena that everything was fine with Jayden and that she was only sleeping.Sheena bent over and kissed the top of Jayden's head before

    Jake sat in the back seat of his car mulling over the events of the night. 'Drive faster.' He ordered his driver as he rested his head on the headrest, his face turned up staring at the roof of the car. He was thinking.'I can't. Damian keeps Sheena locked up like a prisoner. …It's difficult for me, even as her sister, to see her. We always have to sneak around to meet. …Sheena was waiting, waiting until you'll come to save her.'Elena's words played repeatedly in Jake's head like a mantra. Sheena had been suffering too, just like he suffered in jail. He shut his eyes tightly to drown out the pain, regret, and remorse he felt. He felt deeply foolish and sorry. He had wronged his woman. He had added salt to her painful wounds and he needed to tend to the wounds he had inflicted on Sheena fast.Regardless of the fact that Sheena didn't know that he thought so lowly of her, he still tortured himself for entertaining such thoughts about her. Jake wanted to meet Sheena so he could right

    'What did you just say?' Elena's statement halted Jake in his tracks. His eyes were intent on her.'You heard me.' Elena responded. 'Jayden is your child with Sheena.''She is not my child' Jake said with so much denial and disbelief in his voice. He believed Elena was only trying to get his attention.'Elena, how can you stoop so low to resort to lying? How can you play with such a sensitive matter? Why are you trying so hard to prove your sister a saint? Sheena married Damian after sending Jake to prison. She gave birth to their daughter after her marriage to Damian and you say Jake fathered the child? Who would be stupid enough to believe that?' Oscar berated Elena.'Oh please shut up your foolish mouth Oscar! When would you ever allow your brain to do some actual work?' Elena insulted. She returned her gaze to Jake after silencing Oscar.'Do you really think Sheena could betray you?' Elena entreated Jake to reason.Jake raised his eyes to meet with Elena's. His heart weighed her w

    Elena stood by the entrance of the club contemplating if she should enter. The loud music blaring from the speakers that she used to love, now scared her. She braced herself and stepped in. It didn't take long for her to be spotted.'You came!' Stella squealed joyfully. She extended a hand and pulled Elena towards their table.Stella was Elena's friend from her college days. They had remained friends even after college and lived like teenagers just partying, boozing and boys. That was when life seemed to be fair to Elena and her family. When she lived carefree, her father's business was doing well, her sister didn't need to marry an older man and she wasn't nursing a broken heart.Stella had traveled abroad just about the time the turbulence in Elena's family began. Stella had just returned from her long trip and insisted that Elena come to see her at the club. It has been a long time since she saw her friend and it excited Elena to reunite with Stella. Her excitement though was short

    Sheena tried to stay as calm as she could manage. She kept fumbling with the hem of the oversized hoodie she wore. The hood sat over her head, dark glasses covered her eyes. It was her attempt at a disguise. The angst coursing through her was overwhelming.After much begging and pleading, Mary had reluctantly agreed to take Sheena to meet with Jake on the condition that Mary would have to speak with Jake first, and if Jake was unwilling to speak with her, then they would have to abandon the plan. It seemed like an easy condition.Sheena was certain Jake wouldn't hesitate to see her.
