I wanted to be alone but l didn't know that it was torture for me. After all the memories that l spent with my husband came back to me one by one. Even the smallest events happened between us. From the time l first saw him when he was shot till his death. I couldn't sleep even when l laid on bed. I realized that have depended so much on him. It never occurred to me that his death will come this sudden. . I mind then drifted to the person responsible for my husband's death and l know for sure that l won't spare him!/her. When night time came, l took my kids and slept in my room with them. It took me ages to finally fall asleep. Alot of thoughts came into my mind again my body was tired but couldn't give in into slumber . A sleepless night is the same as a dreamless night which means a hopeless life. But l wasn't going to live that life. I have to raise three beautiful angels and my parents are still alive.And l have to revenge too. Yes l have to live for the sake of that. . I f
Edini city In a European styled villa in one of the rooms on the third floor. The maid came to close the curtains since it was mizzling outside. Even though it's not much of a downpour, being on a mountain makes the wind strong.lt can't blow inside. It's not good for the patient on the bed in the middle of the room. A maid glanced beliefly on a pale rectangular hairline man with a needle like body who is sleeping peacefully on the bed. She sighed and turned to leave. The man on the bed is the second eldest son of this house hold and has been in a comma for two years now. It should be remembered that this second master was involved in a plane crush when he was going for an international business conference from Edini city to Rabadin. His subordinates all died on spot making him the last man standing. And upto now no one knows the cause of that crush. Given that it was his private jet. When he first had an accident the doctors immediately performed all sorts of possible surgeries
Mr. Gavin's point of view I worked many years from grass to grace. I wasn't going to sit down and let my efforts go to waste. I had dreams to be yet fulfilled and l was wishing to see my little babies grow into beautiful human beings.The joy and anticipation of them as adults helped me to overcome the negative thoughts that had been playing in mind recently. I could hear someone whispering in my ears that am going to die. That my business in the world was over. I could think of how it feels when you die and oftenly dream of dead people calling up to me. I could see my self dead yet alive.l could sit blank or stare at anyone in front of me without saying a word. It was getting serious yet l didn't know where and how l will end with those thoughts. But one day l told my self that l can do better than that. I can't let them get into me and affect my life that much. Ashina had been suspicious of me and even started to investigate my daily activities.No l wasn't go to give her worries.
I helplessly saw how that man chatted happily with my friends and family members. I was furious. Does it mean that you have to die in order to see how hypocritical people are? I yelled but no one could see me. I was frustrated and didn't know what to do. No one could see or hear me out. I was afraid that that son of a bitch will harm my family.I went to look for my wife. Perhaps, may be perhaps she will hear and see me. Unfortunately she didn't. I felt sad. But l decided that l should see my mum. George why isn't Gavin here yet. Quickly give him a call. I found my mum talking with George my brother. I rushed and shouted mum am here but she couldn't hear me too. What was going on? Am l tried to call as many times as l can but big brother doesn't answer. Mum l have a bad feeling. He doesn't usually take this long to answer. George spoke. I also thing something is wrong George find Ashina and ask if she heard from him. Mum responded with a worried face. Am here nothing is wrong with m
Ashina's point of viewAfter sorting out some documents and other stuffs, l left the study to check on the kids. I first went to the twin's room and found them asleep. I sat down near their bed. I always do this when l come home and they are sleeping. I checked their bodies if they have any bruises or anything unusual. They were all fine. I must say that Jane has done her job as a nanny really well. I am very grateful to her. But still l can't stop from worrying about my kids whenever am away from them. I haven't found that killer. I don't know what he will do next.I glanced at their sleeping forms and l sighed heavily. Tomorrow will be their second birthday as well as their dad's death anniversary. I really can't bring myself to throw them a party. I just can't. Sensing that am being overwhelmed with emotions, l stood up and left the twin's room to lsla's. She wasn't asleep. And she doesn't get sleep before l return home.Mommy!!! Her sweet voice called unto me the moment l entered
Oh Ash you are stunning as ever. She said with a wide smile. Layla Anthony has been cheerfully whenever we meet. And you don't get bored around her. Don't exaggerate Layla. Am not better than you in anyway. You work for those international organizations and l don't think that a small matter. I commented back. Don't joke around Ash. Only few people knows me in this country. But you are the ceo of the great GM group of companies. The heiress to Warren company. How can l compare to you haha. She responded but for some reasons l sensed jealousy in her tone even though she was smiling. Hmm it's just nothing Layla let's go inside. I replied trying to end that conversation. Ash am sorry to come now uninvited and in advance if the agreed time to sign the contract. But there has been a change of plan on our side. The second supply of our goods abroad suddenly stopped collabrating with us so GM is the only we have since you guys are our major supplier. If Anthony group doesn't get the raw
Although l knew that l was left in Edini city, l didn't know anyone here or the place. As l looked around l spotted houses and villas nearby. But what caught my attention was the mansion that stood majestic on the mountain. Something within me was forcing me to go inside. Without knowing my feet where slowly climbing step by step up there. It was as if am seeing hope. However l didn't know what l was hoping to see there. With my mind filled with unknown hope, my feet hurried climbed until l was on the stairs that lead to the entrance of the mansion. Welcome home Gavin Maina. A voice greeted. I raise my head to see a young man with light green eyes, well propositioned manly face and thin lips. Wait what's in the world is this. I mean this man is a young version of me. How can people be this the same. You are? I asked. Alec Thomas. He replied with a smile. You should note that this Alec is also a dead man. Is this your home? I questioned again. I guess so. He said . Why do you have
Ashina's point of viewAshina what are you doing? George came forward to stop me but l didn't allow him. I mean l was angry for this person. The hatrade for him deep inside my heart and soul couldn't be stopped just like that.George it was this bastard. This idiot killed my husband. I shouted as l kicked Richard more. I wasn't satisfied with the way he killed my man at all. He left my kids as orphans. He made me a widower at such a young age. He definitely has to pay a huge price and his kids. Oh thinking about kids l got excited. I immediately stopped beating the old rag and turned to the board of members who some were now gasping and others had unbelievable expression on their damn old faces for what l did.l sneered at them. George managed to calm me at the end. Ashina if there is any crime that my dad committed its better to report it to authorities instead of humiliating him in front of many people. Do you even have evidence . Leyla said with anger. Oh you better shut up if you do
Alec recorded a video himself where he saidGoodmorning every one. My name is Alec Thomas. Some of you may know me and others don't. Am the current ceo of Thomas group. And am here to clarify the rumors spread about my wife.My wife and l met two years ago and fellow in love with each other. At that time neither of the two of us where married or had any partner.So it's ridiculous for miss Linda to call my wife a mistress when she clearly knows every thing. Miss Linda and l were married for two years but divorced due to her betrayal as you can see in the video below this one. Please don't abuse my wife and family more because of this matter otherwise l will be forced to give a lawyers letter. Thank you for your time. Alec's clarification was belief. After his video another played. In the video two people appeared. One man and the other woman. They were in a hotel room. Have you got the document l told you from Alec, the man asked. I got everything in my bag. I even found something
You being a rich sometimes feels you are guilty of many things. And people treat you are you no human. That you have to give in to all their demands. Take Linda for example. She is a greed person and always want more even though she knows it's out of her reach. Mrs. Thomas said.Back then her father was a royal servant of my husband. He was a good mannered man and also keep others safe. As a reward for his hardworker, my husband arranged a marriage between the two families and also sent Linda abroad to study further. My husband died and in that very year my oldest son disappeared. So Alec had to marry Linda. Anyway there wasn't any choice made who should marry her when the arrangements were made. And that time Alec needed a wife for business.He treated her well and she never lacked anything. But she was deceived by others to betray her husband and the family. Now she keeps on pestering us as we owe her. She is just shameless. She added.So that what happened. I thought inwardly. I di
The kids were still asleep but with the help of their nannies, every thing became easy. Few minutes later we stood at the entrance of a gigantic door. It was not inside the mansion but attached to it in the sides. The door slowly opened on its own. A sharp lingering sweetness of incense filled my nostrils. Am not a fun of incense but this was too mouth watering. I inhaled it from time to time as we entered the hall. Like the dinning hall and other important halls in the mansion, the ancestral hall was also cathedral ceiled. It's just a free space with only a red carpet. No chairs. When you just enter you are faced with the alter on which many pictures of old people are displayed.Most of the elders and other youths were present. Old man also the family's only grandpa left on earth took lris from me. He also called the other three kids to go to the alter. He then knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Our dear great ancestors both paternatal and maternal ones l greet you all l present
Six months later we traveled to edini city. Mrs Thomas suggested that since we had named the baby with Thomas family name, she had to be presented to the ancestral hall in the mansion. She claimed that the baby will be blessed and protected. Neither l nor Alec argued about it. In addition to that, Tonny Alec's personal assistant'wedding was around the corner. It was planned to take place in Edini city. Thus this journey was inevitable. It was Saturday night when we landed. Unlike the past visits to Thomas mansion, this time it was filled with people of different ages every where. Is the Thomas family very big? I couldn't help but ask Alec. Yes there are so many people who live in different cities. They normally gather here when some thing important came up. He explained. I nodded. Most of these people ain't easy to deal with and they are greed for healthy in this main branch. We have to be cautious of every one here. Although l dealt with the person who staged the original Alec's p
Ashina's point of viewThe situation was already stagnant but Leyla was still stubborn. She dared to plot something like that to my daughter and thought that she will go scot free. What mind does she have?Ain't you going to apologize Leyla Anthony? I asked but Leyla only scoffed. In you dreams. She uttered without any fear. Very well then. I replied with a smile. At that time Leyla was being held by two body guards. I signaled to them and they got a hint. In the next seconds Leyla was forced to drop on the floor kneeling infront of me. She gasped in pain. I kept my smile as l saw her angry face.You bitch how dare you... Paa.... I slapped her so hard that my palm hurt. Whom did she call a bitch? I hate people to look down on me the most.You think you got it all that you are stepping on me. Bitch am telling that if you are to do something on me just do it otherwise you will... PAA...... Another slap..... Apparently she doesn't know that the word bitch is the reason why she is having
Leyla's point of view Ashina Warren thought that l was her friend few years back. Little did she know that she was the person l hated most in this world. At school she always took my spotlight. Even after school she shone brighter than any of the other girls in school with her wealthy family. And later she married Gavin Maina the guy l had eyes for and my father was in support of me. If l had married Gavin, our family would have been in top five in the country. The Maina family has alot of influence in Rabadan and country Z at large. I didn't expect that she will be a stabbing block in my way. I approached George who thought that l was madly in love with him. But all l wanted was his elder brother. Gavin was smart, outstanding and handsome despite the fact that he had aged. That bitch Ashina ruined our plans by marrying him. How could we just sit and let something that we planned for a long time just go to waste like that. We did everything but never succeeded. Her dad despite the
Ashina's point of viewI had stopped going to work. Every thing that needed my signature had to be done online. However after my pregnancy was in the second trimester, l couldn't even sit on the chair to do work for more than two hours. My head was ever buzzing and am dizzy for minutes. Alec had to take over my roles even though he did not want to get involved in the company anymore. I was sick every day. No every second that at the beginning of the third trimester l thought that l was going to die. My family couldn't do anything but just sit in the living room waiting for what is next.And the kids would just ask me when am going to play with them again. And that would make me sad. However thinking about the other baby in my womb, l had to fight hard to keep my emotions at bay. Surprising the last month l didnt get any sickness and was relieved that am going to give birth happily.l would even walk around in the garden and play with my kids. Who would have imagined that Leyla Anthony
Alec's point of view. It was there, l mean that sense of contentment when l entered the white villa after a long period of time. That is the thing l dont feel when am at the Thomas mansion in Edini city. Here it feels home. It's where l do belong but at the moment l wasnt enjoying it when my Ashina was suffering for our baby. I just finished the last meeting and decided to let her know that l was coming back. But Jane her secretary was the one who answered and informed me that she was in the hospital. Don't get confused. Ashina has two Janes . The one who is the kids' nanny and the other is the secretary at work. While rushing to the car to go to the airport, l asked her what happened. Ashina had informed me yesterday about her stomach discomforts and insisted that she was better. I stupidly believed her but apparently l made a grave mistake. I shouldn't have listened to her and call the doctor right away. Am not sure sir what. really happened to her. I called her several times a
Moments later the dizziness was gone. I helped myself on the railing and l went to my room. Climbing all the stairs almost took my life. I was breathing heavily when l made it to the room. My lips were dry to the extent that there was blood in the middle of my lower lip. I drank a bottle of water that was on table besides my bed.I lay on bed flat.My tummy's discomforts were back again and this it was serious. I tossed on the bed. Curved into a ball few times but nothing was helping. The discomforts turned into unbearable pain.At this time l regretted not allowing Alec to call a doctor.l tried to get my phone to ring the doctor myself and only to remember that l have left the phone down stairs. Luckily someone opened the door. I heard tinny footsteps. I could only imagine that lsla was the one that came in before l blanked out.When l came back to my sense, l was welcomed by a white ceiling and the smell of disinfectants. I knew that l was in the hospital right away.But still l fel
