MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 21
Matilda removed the band she used to hold her hair up all through the day, she threw her bag on the carpet and landed on her bed.She watched as the fan was spinning slowly, she was lost in thoughts and her mind was blank. She was not thinking about anything in particular.Her phone buzzed and she picked it up, it was a spam message. She looked at the time, it was almost 7pm and Niki will soon be back from cram school.Matilda went into the bathroom and took a quick shower, she changed into a blouse and short knicker. This time, she packed her hair into a rough bun.The kitchen's sink was in a bit of a mess, she cleaned that up and started making dinner. She heard the front door open and she knew it was Niki.He came in and wasn't his chatting self, Niki would have dropped his bag on the floor and run over to meet Matilda in the kitchen and chatter all the way."Hi, Matilda".Matilda put the pot down from the gas cooker, and walked over fast paced, to meet up with Niki before he got in
MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 22
Matilda picked up her phone and removed it from the loud speaker setting. She gave Niki that “if I get hold of you” stare, she dropped the phone on the bench and closed her eyes. Niki put his hands over his mouth when he realised what he had just done, Matilda's expression was funny to him and he began to laugh.He ran out of the verandah before Matilda would pounce on him, she could hear his laughter as he ran out.Matilda picked up the phone and placed it in her ear, she pretended she didn't hear the question Jaden asked.“Do not worry sir, I'll be on my best behaviour on Saturday”.Jaden scoffed over the phone, he knew she was avoiding the question.“I asked if that was your brother, it seems like you talk about me a lot”.Matilda pulled her hair and closed her eyes, she bit her lips. She prayed for him to forget about it, but he obviously did not.“Sir, it's not what you think. He asks me about work sometimes, so I just tell him and…”“So, you hate me?”Matilda removed her hand,
MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 23
Matilda already woke up 4 times during midnight, she kept having nightmares about what Jaden might do to her.Her thoughts were being made real through dreams, and she was not able to get some sleep.She picked up her phone and saw it was already 6 in the morning, she threw her phone and placed a pillow over her head and screamed.Matilda kept kicking her feet like a little child, getting up by that time would save her from going late to work. And she didn't want to add more petrol to the already burning fire.She zipped up her baggy jeans and packed her hair. Her bag was over her shoulder as she walked to the living room.Niki was already seated at the kitchen counter, devouring his cereal. Matilda also opened a box for herself.She dropped the cereal and sighed deeply.“Niki, don't y'all need a new teacher or something in your school? I'd do anything to avoid Jaden right now”.Matilda placed her head on the kitchen slab, a drop of milk escaped the side of Niki's mouth as he tried to
MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 24
Mr Brooks narrowed his eyebrows and stared at Mr Tom, he shook his head and made a little laugh.“No no, it can't be. I'm sure he has been with women before. It's not possible”.Mr Tom scratched the back on his head, he watched as Mr Brooks fought with his thoughts. It was such a sensitive issue, he shouldn't have said something like that. He knew he had to apologise for saying such about his son.Mr Tom put both of his hands in front of him, as he sat at the edge of his seat.“Mr Brooks, I didn't mean to annoy you by saying such a thing about your son. I was just trying to help, it might not even be true, I just made the suggestion”.Mr Brooks leaned back into his seat, he already stressed his aching back, which was visible from his face.He wrinkled his nose as he rubbed his back, Mr Tom watched him trying to figure out if he was angry or not.“It's alright, I'll actually take that into consideration. And if…if it's true, I'll find any means to help my son”.Mr Brooks closed his ey

As the driver drove into the house, Mr Tom stretched his neck over the window to get a glimpse of who that was with his daughter.He got down and walked towards them, he noticed the young man was covering his face and looking down. Tiana was also fidgeting where she stood.Her usual self would have ran over and given him a big hug, but she was just fidgeting.“Princess, are you alright? Is this your friend? Did something happen?”Tiana looked at Tom beside her as she scratched the back of her head, she was trying to come up with a good lie.“No dad, he is uhm, he is kinda…sought of my friend. And he was about leaving before you came, excuse us, dad”.Tiana took Tom by his hand and was dragging him towards the gate again. He stopped her.“If he is your friend, you should introduce us. Young man, what's your name?”Mr Tom held out his hand and stretched them towards Tom. He looked up and met Mr Tom's face, he bowed his head back and also stretched forth his hand.“My name is Tom, sir”.
MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 26
Matilda could not turn to face him, she could feel his body against hers. She could smell him, he smelled so good coupled with the coffee that got spilled on him.Jaden sucked in his breath when his body came in contact with hers, his groin was rubbing against her back and it made him very tense.He squeezed his shirt in his hands, to control himself. Her beautiful neck and little of her shoulders were exposed, he was moved to touch them.Jaden ran his fingers over neck and it made Matilda shiver, all the hair on her stood on all ends. She felt a tap on her shoulder.She looked back and Jaden was still in her face, shirtless. Matilda immediately withdrew her eyes and looked the other way round.Jaden put his shirt up and was dangling it in front of her face.“You said you were gonna clean this, what are you waiting for?”Matilda took the shirt from and went to the sink, she was praying inside her for this to work.She washed the first part of the shirt, and rinsed it. To her surprise,
MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 27
Jaden threw his jacket and keys on his bed, without breaking eye contact with his father. He approached his father with his fist clenched to his side, he looked at him directly in the eyes.Mr Brooks closed the drawer and wanted to just walk away but Jaden blocked his way. “I asked you a question, dad. Why are you in my room searching my drawers?”Jaden pointed at the drawer and back at his father, he was so up close that he could see the wrinkles on his father's face, the whole details.They both stood there staring into each other's eyes, no one saying anything. Jaden was already twitching his jaw out of impatience.“I don't want to have any argument with you, Jaden, not tonight”.Mr Brooks moved away and attempted to go through the other side, but Jaden blocked him again.“You should answer my question, dad. You can't just come into my room like it's nothing”.Mr Brooks closed his eyes and bit his lips, he placed his hands on his waist and looked at Jaden. “Your old man is alrea
MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 28
Tiana rolled the car window down and stretched her neck out to have a proper look of the environment she just arrived in.She brought out her phone and looked at the address sent to her and then the address on the street.“I guess this should be it”.She rolled the window back up as she parked her car well by the roadside. She came down and put off her sunglasses.Tiana flipped her hair as she walked to the front door and knocked. She was still looking around the environment, when the door opened.A cute boy was who she found at the door, he opened the door and smiled at her, she smiled back.“Hey, I'm looking for someone named Matilda”.“That's my sister. But who are you?”Tiana placed an arm on her waist and another on her chin, she rolled her eyes like she was thinking deep about something.“Let's say I'm a friend”.Tiana was about to touch Niki's hair, when Matilda came in sight and pulled him to her side.She stared furiously at Tiana, Tiana gave her a wild smile in return which

Jaden dropped his phone on the bed and walked to where she stood. He took the dress from her and looked at it.He shook his head and threw the dress on the bed, he picked up his phone and started to punch some letters.Matilda just stood there, folded her arms and was looking at him. She removed the hairband from her hair and tied her hair again.“Yes, that's the room”He said that and dropped his phone on the bed again, put his hands in his pocket and stared at the dresses that were scattered on the bed.“Pack those, they are coming to try new dresses on you”Matilda squinted her eyes, she paused her lips and untangled her hands. “They? Who are those?”Jaden blew dust off the portrait that was standing next to him, and used his thumb to wipe it. He looked at Matilda and smirked, as he blew the dust off his fingers.“You will see when they get here”He walked to the dressing table and leaned on it, crossed his legs in front of him and put his hands in his pocket.He shook his legs an

Matilda gasped and withdrew her hand, she turned facing the ceiling up and not taking her eyes off it.It was all dark, but she could feel Jaden staring at her. He moved and she couldn't predict the position he was moving to, she was not looking at him.Jaden groaned as he stretched his body, he relaxed himself and was also staring at the ceiling.He moved and turned on his left, resting on the grip of his arm as he stared at Matilda in the dark. He moved closer to her, moving his body swiftly on the bed and pushing the duvet aside as he moved closer to her.Matilda could feel his breath on her face as he moved closer, she also moved a bit but if she moved one more time, she would meet herself on the wooden floor.He stopped moving when he was closer to her face now, their breaths intertwining with each other's.Matilda's eyes moved without her will, and stared at the young man that was in front of her. In the dark, she could see his face up close, the way his eyes moved and of course

Jaden pulled her away from his body and she also hit her head on the couch. He got up immediately and was adjusting his shirt, also scratching his head.Matilda rubbed her eyes, trying to get a clear vision as the sleep was still making her drowsy. She didn't understand what Jaden was trying to do.“I was just trying to help out because you were dozing off on the couch”Matilda still did not get it, but she nodded and sat still. Jaden went to the bed and drew out a big duvet, he proceeded to spread it on the bare floor.“You can have the bed, I'll sleep on the floor”Matilda got up and put her hands in front of her, waving it as she was shaking her head in disagreement.“No sir, no. I…I can actually sleep on the couch while you can sleep on the bed”Jaden is a very stubborn person, he hardly listened to anyone when he had made up his mind.And the last thing he would want was to make Matilda uncomfortable. He couldn't let her sleep on the floor or even on the couch.He took two pillow

Tom took a long drag from his cigar and closed his eyes as he released the smoke into the air.His room was filled with loud music, coming from his bluetooth speaker, and he was moving his head to the rhythm of the beat.A call in through his phone, he put off the music and then picked up his phone. He closed his eyes and sighed when he saw who the caller was.“What is it this time, Tiana?”“What's with that irritating tone of yours?”Tiana squinted her eyes and her face, like she had just seen the most disgusting thing in her life.Tom ran his hands through his hair and took a drag from his cigar, and he dropped it on the ashtray.“Just say what you want to say, Tiana”She rolled her eyes and sat on her bed, crossed her legs and cleared her throat.“I'm meeting with Matilda soon, so be prepared. This time, for real”“I hope so”“What do you mean by that?”Tiana was already getting irritated, anger was was beginning to rise on her inside. Tom could sense it from her tone, and the last

The car came to a halt as Jaden stepped on the brakes with so much force, causing Matilda to jerk forward.She almost banged her head on the dashboard, but the seatbelt saved her in that process.Matilda gasped with her mouth wide open and her hair all over her face. She put her hand on her chest, and was breathing very heavily. She looked like she had just seen a ghost, she froze and could not move.Jaden was not moved, he still held the steering wheel and was looking at her, waiting for her response.“Why did you do that?!”Matilda half yelled as she turned towards Jaden, her voice cracked and tears were gathering up in her eyes.She was scared, her hands were shaking and tears were falling from her face without control.Jaden's heart sank, he wasn't expecting her to act that way, he never meant to hurt her…he was just angry.“I didn't mean to, I…are you okay?”He leaned towards her, with his hands stretched to touch her. But he withdrew his hands as he was about to come in contact
MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 66
Jaden took a pink jacket from one of the racks, and placed it close to his shoulders, trying to imagine how Matilda's shoulders are.He placed it back on the rack, after concluding it would be too big for her. He ended up going for a black jacket, which would suit Matilda according to his own knowledge.Matilda saw him coming through the door, and she immediately adjusted his phone back to where she took it from. The air conditioning in the car was working well, but beads of sweat were gathering up on her forehead. He came into the car but Matilda was looking straight ahead all through.Jaden handed the bag to her, but she was not even looking at him. He looked straight ahead to follow her gaze and see what she was looking at, but he didn't see anything.“Matilda, are you okay?”With a weird smile on her face, she looked at him and kept nodding her head. He handed the bag to her again, and she took it .“Thank you, sir”Jaden squinted his eyes as he tried to figure out why she was ac

Matilda kissed Niki for the 5th time that morning. The little young man was not in for all that lovey dovey, he just wanted to have some more sleep.He grunted and moved in his sleep, muttering words no human could understand under his breath. He was not plugged to any machines anymore, because he was feeling better.Matilda chuckled and caressed his cheeks, Diane stood next to her itching her eyes and yawning; holding Matilda's travelling box.She kept staggering while she stood there, the power of sleep was overpowering her. She rubbed her eyes occasionally, to prevent herself from sleeping or maybe fall while dozing off.“Hmmm?”Diane grunted and opened her eyes, when she felt a gentle touch on her hand. She was already fast asleep while standing.Matilda laughed and covered her mouth, to prevent waking Niki up. She held her stomach and squatted, still laughing so hard.“It's not that funny”“Oh it is. I should have opened my Snapchat and kept a memory of this”“You wouldn't dare”

The thunderstorm grew heavier, the tapping sound of the raindrops on the window were so loud.Jaden held the baton with a firm grip, his veins were already popping out from his hands.The shadow moved towards the light switch, and Jaden moved forward but not very close, still trying to figure out who it was in the dark of the night.The brightness from the light made Jaden look away and closed his eyes, he let out a groan as the light penetrated into his eyes.A few seconds had already passed, before Jaden finally opened his eyes. His vision was still blurry, but he could see who the stranger was.Jaden sighed and shook his head, he dropped the baton and ran his hands through his hair.“Dad, really? I thought someone broke into the house. When did you get back?”Mr Brooks chuckled and with his hands behind his back, he walked to where Jaden stood and placed his hand on his shoulder.“You miss your old man that much, huh?”Jaden slightly brushed his father's hands off his shoulder at t

Tom dodged the throw and after a few seconds he winced in pain, he sucked in breath and closed his eyes.He placed his right hand over his face where the glass went past, feeling a jelly like liquid in between his fingers.Tom pulled his hand away from his face slowly, like he was being controlled. He looked at his hand, to see what that liquid was.It was just his sweat, he sighed and closed his eyes, he thought he had gotten injured from Tiana throwing a glass at him.Tiana's hands were shaking where she stood, the whole anger in her had evaporated at the thought of her injuring Tom with a broken glass.“Tom, are you okay? I'm so sorry”Tiana ran over to him, checking him from his head to his toe. She took his face in her hands, searching and turning his face in different directions.He removed her hands from his face, and pushed it away. Tiana gasped, she wasn't expecting him to do that, she could see the fury in his eyes.“What is wrong with you, Tiana?”Tom stared at her for a lo
