David did not know how to react to whatever revelation his grandmother made.Three years ago, he was coming from a business party with Sandra.He was drunk so Sandra chose to drive them home. It started raining and that's when Sandra decided to drive faster to get them home sooner.Who would have thought that the next time she went home was in a casket?Her car had lost control after the brakes failed and that's how they slammed into a tricycle.When he woke up, it was a month later and his wife was already dead and buried.His grandmother also informed him that she took care of everything and that he should concentrate on getting better and taking care of his daughter.He never bothered to inquire more about the accident because all it did was remind him about the painful memories he wanted to forget.Not a day had it passed without him blaming himself for his wife's death If he didn't drink and get tipsy in that damn party, his wife would still be alive and Lily would have her mot
Nancy walked to her room angrily making sure nobody was within the vicinity before making a call.Of all outcomes she expected, having old madam Brown acknowledge Sheila and Invite her to the house was not one of them.She was no fool to not realise what was happening.Despite Sheila's poor background, she must have been satisfied with her and that was something she was unwilling to accept.Removing her phone, she made a phone call." You better have something important to report otherwise I'll kill you with my bare hands!" Laura's voice spoke from the other side of the phone.She was obviously pissed that someone dared to disturb her beauty sleep." I don't think you should be sleeping comfortably when another woman continues to sink her claws to your man." Annoyed by Laura's bossy attitude, Nancy taunted.She could not stand how arrogant Laura was, especially when she spoke to her like she was ordering her maid.' Just so you wait. When I finally become Mrs Brown,I will make you reg
After his grandmother left, David had breakfast accompanied by Lily and Sheila who had already had theirs.He then left for the company after kissing the two women in his life goodbye.Instead of going directly to the company, he instructed his personal driver to drive him to the private burial ground bought specifically for his wife.While on the way, his mind flashed back to that fateful night he lost his wife.Flashback ( Three years ago)The collision had cleared all the alcohol in his system. He turned to look at Sandra who was trapped between the driver's chair and the steering wheel.A metal shard had pierced her abdomen and she had countless cuts on her face.He had tried struggling to free himself from the overturned car but he was unsuccessful.Even when she was in so much pain herself, all she cared about was him." David, can you hear me?" Her voice was weak, coming out as a whisper." Shhhh, don't say anything, I'll get you out of here Sandra." David consoled trying to f
Country BIn a big mansion, a man in his late twenties is seen walking to the lawn.A woman in a wheelchair sits idly, staring into space.The man approaches and squats before her, a gentle smile on his face." Mother, how have you been? I am here to visit you." He says gently but the woman still stares into space, not acknowledging him." I have found a new lead about Charlene's whereabouts. I am heading to country A to continue my search for my sister. I promised you, didn't I? That I will only rest after bringing my little sister home? I will do everything in my power to bring her back into your arms." He said with a dotting smile.The woman finally gave a reaction. A lone tear slipped past her pale white face. One look at her and you would know that she was a beauty during her youth.Seeing his mother cry, the man gently wiped her tears with her thumb before kissing her forehead." You need to take your medicine and recover your health, mother or do you want Charlene to find you t
It was on a Monday morning and the father and daughter duo were already settled at the dining table ready for breakfast. However, someone was missing.Just when David was about to open his mouth and inquire about Sheila's whereabouts, she emerged from within the kitchen.She carried a bowl of something steaming as she walked towards the table.David broke into a sweet smile seeing his little woman had taken the initiative to cook for him.His daughter however snorted upon seeing his father smile.' Just you wait. I will wipe the smile of your face' she swore Inwardly.Sheila walked to the table and placed the bowl of noodles and fried eggs before Lily before taking her seat." Sorry baby, I had to make sure the noodles were well seasoned so it took some time." She apologised." It is okay, beautiful sister. It is worth the wait." Lily said sweetly, her eyes travelling to her father's face suggestively.Sheila turned to look at David and the smile on her face fell." This looks so deli
The day went well with Sheila working on some files she needed to submit to David.When she took over, the financial records had been messy with a lot of money disappearing without being accounted on.As a result, David tasked her with reviewing the company's finances for the last five years.She has been working diligently, identifying all the loopholes on the records and noting them down.David had filed an embezzlement case with the help of his lawyer against his previous auditor.He was never one to allow others to step on him and not retaliate.Sheila was about to finish documenting a file when the landline in her office rang.With her attention still on the file at hand, she picked up the call." Hello, how may I help you?" She said immediately the call went through but the other side said nothing.The heavy breathing from the other side told Sheila who was calling.With a smile on her face, she placed the documents on the table and leaned on her swivel chair, assuming a comfort
" Beautiful!" That's the word that played in Gabriel's face upon setting his eyes on Sheila and before he knew it, he had said it out loud." Excuse me?" Sheila's lips were pressed into a thin line as she regarded the man in front of her.Looking at him, she could tell he was the guest David was expecting so despite her annoyance, she tried sounding as calm as possible.Gabriel smiled apologetically. He could tell that his complement came out the wrong way." I'm sorry Miss, I didn't mean to sound rude or anything. Honestly, I didn't know when I blurted the word. It just escaped my mind and slipped through my mouth." He tried explaining." By the way, I am Gabriel Fernandez and I am here to see the president." He introduced himself.Sheila could read the sincerity in his words so she decided to play cool. He didn't mean anything with his complement, she believed." Sheila, Sheila Masons!" She said, taking Gabriel's extended hand." Sheila, it's a nice name. My girlfriend also has a be
" Miss Reyes, someone is looking for you?" Vanessa's assistant knocked on get door before informing her." I don't have an appointment at this time Sarah." Vanessa who was furiously typing on her keyboard said, her attention still glued to the story she was writing.Her boss needed a story to publish for tomorrow's paper and she needed to finish with it before heading home in less than ten minutes." Yes, he said it is a personal visit." Sarah added making Vanessa to pause momentarily.She has never had anyone visit her at her workplace so who could it be? " Okay, I'll be down in a few minutes. Have him wait for me at the waiting lobby." She said, dismissing Sarah.Since work was of great importance, she decided to finish it first.She had been promoted to a senior editor at the magazine house and that meant extra work.Vanessa never minded though, she loved her work and the pay was good.Fifteen minutes later, she hit the send button before relaxing on her chair.Finally, she could
