Chapter 28Davis POVDad!!!!!" Dad stop, you are hurting me." I grunted as we approached my room. Dad had gripped me tightly and forced me to go to my room. He was outraged with my actions, but I did not care. I did not want Selene or her mother at the house.As soon as he let go of me, I looked at my hands to check whether I had been injured. His firm grip had made my hand appear reddish and it hurt a little. I turned to face him when I saw there was nothing else." Dad you hurt me, just because of Selene?" I murmured as tears streamed down my face, I do not believe he would punish me because of a complete stranger and a poor pauper at that."I didn't hurt you, I had to bring you here because you were being a jerk." He said furiously as he told me how i didn't have the right to speak so rudely at his house. I wondered why he defended them so much when we barely even knew them." You are grounded!!" Dad yelled angrily, enraged by my behaviour and the disrespectful way I addressed Sel
Chapter 29SOPHIE'S POV. SIMPLY OUR MOMENT......" Is everything ok here?" Karl inquired as he stepped downstairs to join us. I did not respond because Selene and I were still caught in the moment, hugging ourselves and crying passionately. Karl gazed at us, astounded by how much we were crying together. He appeared to have never seen anything like that before.It was simply our moment; Selene and I realised we had no one but ourselves to rely on, and we found solace in that.Selene moved out of my grip to face me, wanting to say something. I hoped she had forgiven me for what had transpired at her party and would not repeat the terrible words she had spoken previously." I want you to be happy mum, I love you, I dnt want people like Aunty Lois to laugh at you no more." She replied, attempting to dry my tears."Dnt cry mummy, baby is here!!" I giggled when I saw how she consoled me, trying to dry my tears with her dress and pointing at herself to let me know she was here." Oh gos
Chapter 30KARL'S POVJust let her be the help around here." Dad!!" as soon as I opened the door, I heard Davis call out for me. With the tone he had called I would have guess he was scared, but he wasn't. "Is anybody there?" He asked again and when he didn't hear anyone response after the door was opened and he had called twice. He had picked up his shoe from the rack and waited by the door. I walked in to meet Davis by the door with a shoe on his hand almost hitting me by the head before realizing it was me. " Oh gosh, Dad dnt do that." He said as I came in, I noticed he dropped the shoe and went off to the bed as he saw me. I had opened the door but didn't come in for a while.I guess I what was thinking about the best approach to have a father and son discussion with Davis." What is that?" I asked as I got into the room surprised at him holding a shoe by the door. I wondered why he was being so defensive that he had picked his shoe to hit me. He dropped his shoe and went bac
Chapter 31SOPHIE'S POVOnly time would tellWhen I heard the knock in the door I figured it had to be Karl as I was sure there was no one aside us at the house and there was no way Davis was going to come up to Selene's room. I wondered what he wanted now but dismissed it as him wanting to come say goodnight to Selene. Their closeness made me feel uneasy and it was about to become worse as we now lived in the same house. I hoped it won't stir up issues between Selene and Davis."I hope this doesn't cause problems in the future." I muttered to myself as I thought about his fondness for Selene. I hope it wasn't going to be an issue when the contract ended.The door opened and it was my least expectation. It was Davis." Why was he here?" I mumbled to myself perplexed by why he was at Selene's room. I was happy I was in Selene room when he came in case he had come to make trouble with my daughter." Hi Davis, did you need something?" I asked him but he ignored me and looked around th
Chapter 32Karl's POVLet play with a coin.I wanted to go into Selene's room but decided it was best I called Claire and asked her what she wanted. I didnt know why she called so repeatedly me but couldn't call her son. I decided I was going to ask her to call him so he could have some comfort and stop worrying.I left for my room so I could get some privacy to make the call. The phone rang repeatedly and then she picked up." I need more money." Claire said as she picked up the phone, I didn't seem to understand why she repeatedly ask me for money when she had her lover." Shouldn't she be asking him for more money." I mumbled as she spoke. I wondered in my thoughts what she did need money for repeatedly.When I did ask her what she needed it for I got even more irritated with her response." Just send the money, you know the account." She responded as though I had to right to ask what the money I repeatedly sent was for." I dnt owe you anything Claire, you should stop calling to as
Chapter 33SOPHIE'S POVTHE GAME OF COIN..I am ecstatic that Karl agreed to play the coin game after initially being apprehensive. I was certain that I would triumph. He however told me he didn't have a coin in the house and I told him not to worry about it. I guess he agreed because since he didn't have a coin, he assumed I wouldn't have any either and we wouldn't have to play. To his amazement I rushed to my bag to find where I had kept it.Growing up, I used to play the game of coin for everything with my neighbours, who were also my best friends at the time. We would play it every time to see who could won at anything we couldn't seem to agree on.We played the game of coin all the time as kids, from determining who gets to choose where we go for lunch to competing against each other and anytime there was something worth fighting over. Even though I was no longer a kid,the thrill and excitement this simple game brought me still remain timeless." Found it!!" I exclaimed as I fo
Chapter 34 DAVIS POV...WORRIES, DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES"Mum, please do not go! Do not leave me" I screamed out sobbing as I woke up from my sleep. I jilted up as I was in shock when I woke up. I soon realized where I was and turned to see that I was alone in my room. As agitated as I was, I leaped out of bed and looked about before regaining my composure. I sobbed uncontrollably as I laid back onto the bed."It was just a nightmare." I grumbled as I lay down on the bed. My thoughts drifted to my mother, and I hoped she returns as I wished I could simply hear her voice. I had missed her so much and wished she was here.I just had a nightmare and in my dream, I had just seen my mum on the beach. She was lovely dressed for a beach party but as I looked at her, she didn't seem happy and I noticed the sadness in her eyes."Mum." I called out for her when I saw her and ran to meet her; she turned when I called and looked at me for a while stretching her hands to reach mine as I ran to meet
Chapter 35KARL'S POV.THIS CALLS FOR CELEBRATION"I despise this; imagine myself on the couch in my own home." I muttered as I sighed many times walking downstairs, sincerely regretting why I had consented to the game in the first place. I turned to glance around the room again before continuing my walk to the living room. I got to the room and I looked at the couch again pondering on how I could be able to sleep comfortably there." Sophie is the absolute worst!!" I blurted out still irritated by everything that had transpired. I glared at the couch and took the pillow and laid it there.I stood for a while considering how I would be able to sleep there and decided to go upstairs.This was my house after all and I would not be subjected to ill- treatment in my own home. Sophie was not going to make me suffer like this in my own house, sleeping uncomfortably in a couch when I had a big sized bed to myself. If there was anyone to sleep on the couch, it should definitely be her, bes
