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

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

Matilda already picked the dress she would wear to the occasion tomorrow, with the help of Diane. She also sent her personal make-up tutorial videos, for her to follow.Matilda was currently watching the videos when a message notification popped up on her screen, it was from Jaden.She immediately sat up and opened the text, it was very short and concise, that was the usual Jaden style.I'll pick you up by 10am tomorrow, be ready.Unconsciously, she smiled at the text while caressing the necklace on her neck. She stopped abruptly when it hit her that all of it was not real.She hissed and laid back in her bed, went to her videos and continued watching. She paused the video and got up again.“It's rude if I don't reply back right? He would have seen that I read it”.She bit her lip trying to come up with what to reply to the message with.🪐Jaden's legs shook as he kept staring at the text he sent to her. It was over one minute and she had not texted him back and she already read it.

Jaden put his right hand forward, for Matilda to hold. She was dazed, his hand was hanging out and she didn't know what to do.Jaden looked at his hand and looked at Matilda again, she opened her hand and tried to put it in his.She withdrew her hand and put them in between her laps, her heart was pounding faster this time around. Jaden hissed under his breath, he pulled Matilda's hand from her lap and held her hand. He interlocked both of their hands and continued driving.Matilda's eyes almost popped out of their socket, she forgot how to breathe for a few seconds. She sucked in air and blinked severally, she did not understand why he was doing this.“This is just a little of what we are going to do when we get there, start getting used to it now”.Matilda could feel the friction between their hands, his hands were kind of sweaty. She could tell he was nervous too, if she tried to move her fingers he would also react by moving his.The drive continued with no word from either of th

The whole strands of hair on Matilda's body stood on all ends, it felt like the organs in her body were throbbing all by themselves.Jaden grabbed her waist with so much intensity and passion, his hands were on her like he actually owned her. Matilda could not even look in his direction, her body might fail her.Everything the old man was saying, she could not hear any of it. Her mind was on Jaden's hands on her waist. She was so close to him that she could smell his cologne.She had never felt this way before, there was a load of emotion inside of her, waiting to burst out.Jaden noticed she was not paying attention, he used his index finger to poke her side. The action made Matilda make a little jump, Jaden grabbed her closer again.“The chairman is saying hi to you”Jaden whispered into her ears, and she jolted back to reality. Matilda looked at Jaden then at the chairman, who was already extending his hands towards her.With both of her hands, she shook the chairman who also place

Matilda ran in between them, and put her hands out to prevent them from tearing each other up.She looked at Jaden and whispered calmly to him.“Please”Few eyes were now on them, Jaden looked around and noticed some people were already talking amongst themselves.He adjusted his suit jacket, looked at the stranger and walked back calmly to his seat. The stranger scoffed and threw Jaden a bitter look, Matilda tried to plead with a smile but he was not buying it. He walked out.Matilda went back to sit and everyone's attention moved away from them, she took a sip from her cup and she didn't continue with her food, her appetite was gone.The whole situation that played out minutes ago, made it all more weird. They both just sat in their seats, looking in different directions of people dancing.A tap on both of their shoulders got their attention, it was the chairman. He smiled at them and leaned in closer.“Guys, people are dancing. Why are you just sitting and moping around?”The chai

Matilda pulled Niki into a tight embrace, he wept heavily on her shoulders. Drops of tears fell from her eyes too, but she dabbed the tears to avoid bringing down Niki's confidence.“Niki, read my lips. Your surgery will be a success, and you will not die”All Niki could do was nod and clean his tears, he developed an hiccup and Matilda patted his back.“You are one of the strongest people I know, you are even stronger than I, your older sister. I'm proud of you”.A warm smile spread across Matilda's face, and Niki smiled weakly in return. She pulled him into another embrace, and kept patting his back.She released him and they continued walking and stopped when they got to their doorstep.“What would you like to have for dinner, my little pumpkin?”Niki rolled his eyes as he went through the door, Matilda laughed so hard.“I'm 12, stop calling me that”“Then you should be aware that your shoes do not belong on the couch”.Matilda pointed to his shoes he placed on the couch, he picked

Matilda looked at Niki and then at the doctor, she could not figure out their expression which made her more scared.She walked over to them and caressed Niki's hair, and the doctor led them to his office. Her legs felt heavy as she took each step, she kept praying in her heart.They both sat opposite the doctor, it was quiet as they watched him read the paper he was holding. Matilda kept moving in her chair, the doctor's silence was making it worse for her.He dropped the paper and met her gaze, Matilda's heart started to beat fast, she bit her lip so hard trying to contain her nervousness.The doctor adjusted his glasses and smiled at Niki, Niki smiled back at him. Matilda was confused, she didn't understand what the two were doing.“Miss Blair”Matilda's attention moved to the doctor, if she could open his heart to read what he wanted to say, she would. She continued to pick her fingers and bit her lips.“Niki's examination came out well, he is ready for the surgery next week”Mati

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

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
