MATILDA'S LOVE AND RETRIBUTION CHAPTER 1
Matilda sighed sadly as she rested her back against the front door, with an envelope in her hands.“How will I clear all these debts alongside Niki's hospital bills?” Matilda whispered to herself silently, as a drop of tear escaped her eyes.She immediately cleaned her tears as she heard Niki approaching the sitting room.“Were you talking to yourself?” Niki asked with his eyebrows arched in curiosity.“Of course not little champ, I was just going through our bills for the month” she replied with a faint smile.“Oh…” Niki said with sadness in his voice.Matilda walked up to him and bent down to make direct eye contact with him.“You have nothing to worry about alright? Big sis got it all covered, my little pumpkin” She playfully ruffled his hair. “Don't call me that, I'm 12 now” Niki said with a little frown which made Matilda laugh heartily.“You will always be my little pumpkin, baby brother. C'mon get your bag, you don't wanna make us late” Niki rolled his eyes as he picked up his

Jaden drove through the gate of his house, in a reckless manner. He came out and threw the car key at the gateman.He stormed into the house and headed straight to where he knew he would find his father at that time; in his study.“This should be the last time you ever set me up on a date with someone, Father. I am not interested!” Jaden raged at his father.“Young man, that is not how to greet one's father” Mr Brooks said in a rather calm manner, as he got up from his chair while holding his walking stick.Jaden responded with a regretful tone.“I am sorry father, it wasn't my intention to speak in such a terrible way. I'm just tired of the fact that you keep setting…”“It’s what I have to do as your father,” Mr Brooks interrupted him. “I promised your mother on her sick bed, may her soul rest in peace, that I'll make sure you get married and give birth to children that will carry on the name of this family and inherit the company”.Remembering his mother at that moment, Jaden bit h

“Oh my God, oh my God”.Matilda hurriedly grabbed her bag from her brother's hospital bed stand, took her shoes then gave Niki a quick kiss before dashing out of the clinic.She waved down many cabs, but no one was stopping for her.The chilly morning wind did not even have any mercy on her, as it blew particles of sand into her eyes.Eventually, she got a cab and headed back home to freshen up.Matilda prayed silently for a miracle as she walked towards Jaden's office. There was no use running, she was hours late already.“Come in”.Jaden's voice jolted her back to reality that, she was actually in a deep mess.“Good morning sir”“And what is so good about the morning?”. Jaden looked up from his desk, and gave her a stern look.“I'm so sorry sir, what happened was that…”“I do not need any explanation!”Matilda shivered and jerked from the angry tone of Jaden's voice. She cannot afford to lose her job now.She immediately knelt down on both knees, Jaden's eye widen because he was not

“Yes, good morning Mr James…oh you sent it to my email already? Alright, thank you for helping out in such a short notice…have a nice day”.Jaden hung up the phone and placed it on his desk. He stood up and walked towards the printer in his office, he printed out a few copies of paper.He went back to his desk, cleared his throat and picked up the intercom.“Matilda come to my office, now”.Knock“Come in”.“Good morning sir”. Matilda greeted politely.“We already saw each other this morning, why greet me again? Sit”.Jaden said with his commanding voice, ushering Matilda to sit.“I thought about your request from yesterday, and I put one and two together and I figured I can't just help you without collecting anything in return”.Jaden paused to study Matilda's face.She looked pale, and anxious. Matilda was anticipating the condition her boss was going to throw at her.So many thoughts ran through her mind, she bit her lower lip out of anxiety.“Here”. Jaden flipped the printed paper

Matilda immediately withdrew her hands from Jaden's, as Tiana walked towards them.Matilda scanned Tiana from head to toe and did a quick check. She looked so pretty in the off shoulder gown she wore, exposing her flawless skin and collar bone.From the way she walked and carried herself, Matilda knew she was from a wealthy family.“Relax, alright. I don't bite”.Tiana laughed as she stood beside Jaden, she began to rub his shoulders.“Take your hands off me woman”.Jaden pushed her hands off his shoulder, his eyes becoming bloodshot from anger. Tiana held her hands up in defence“Okay okay, I will back off. At least, you should offer your guest a seat”.She drew a chair out for herself and sat, heaving a sigh.“You are not my guest, I did not invite you here. By the way, what do you even want here, in my office?”Jaden asked with his face in an irritating form, mashed up together like someone that just ate a bad fruit.“Well, I'm a shareholder of your company so…”“Point of correcti

CHAPTER 6Matilda picked up the books from the floor and stood up from where Tiana threw her.Squeezing her eyes shut, she winced from the pain. She had a cut on the back of her left hand, it was caused by Tiana's push.She looked left and right, to see if anyone had witnessed what happened. The last thing she wanted right now, was to be the talk of the office.Matilda raised her head to prevent tears from falling, it's still working hours, and no one should see her crying.She sat on her seat and logged into her laptop to continue working. She tried to drown herself into work, to take her mind off everything that just played off.The intercom on her desk rang, it was Jaden.“Come to my office”.Matilda buried her head in her hands, hoping Jaden did not call her to lash out at her too. She had had enough for today.She stood up and adjusted her clothes, she used a little napkin to take dust off her clothes.She proceeded to Jaden's office.Matilda knocked thrice and there was no respo

“Good evening sir”“Good evening Matilda, I'm sure you know why I'm here”. The landlord adjusted his glasses as he spoke, squinting his eyes through them to have a proper look at Matilda.Matilda held onto the door handle very tightly, she looked down at her feet to avoid his intense gaze.“You promised to pay this week, Matilda, I have not seen anything from you yet”.“I'm sorry sir, I…I will definitely pay before the end of this week, please just give me a little more time”.Matilda pleaded with her bright eyes shining in the dark, she pouted her mouth in expectation of what the landlord might say.“Well, the end of this week then. Do not let it get past this week”.He raised his finger in a warning sign, and stared at Matilda for a while before heading down the stairs.“Thank you Mr Wells, I'll definitely pay before next week! Have a good night!”Matilda yelled back at the landlord as he headed back to his quarters. He waved his hands at her without looking back.She locked the do

“This is…this is wrong sir”Matilda forcefully pulled away from his tight grip, wriggling her hands with so much power.Jaden scoffed and pushed her off of him, using the back of his hands to dust his shirt like she had stained him of dirt.“Do not flatter yourself, nothing will ever happen between us”. Jaden spoke like he was giving her stern warning, sizing her up and down with a look of disgust.Matilda felt a sharp pin was poking her all over her body, she wanted the ground to swallow her up and escape this embarrassment.Jaden puts his hands in his pockets and begins to pace about that basement.“I have played my part, you got your money. Now it's time for your first mission”.Matilda watched him as he blew off dust from the shelf he was standing next to.“What could that be if I may ask sir?”His eyes moved from the shelf back to Matilda, he cleaned his hands.“Meeting my father, this Saturday to be precise”.Matilda's heart almost came out of her chest, the thought of meeting

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
