Walking past the workers, acknowledging their greetings with a nod, I journeyed to my office stopping briefly to stare at May's office; well, her office when she was still here, I sighed when I saw someone else sitting on what used to be her chair back then. It has been long, five years seven months two weeks three days nine hours twenty minutes and twenty-five seconds since she had run away. All efforts I made to find her went abortive, I couldn't find her or even get any information on where she could be. She just vanished to the thin air leaving no Trace behind. She doesn't want to be found. Who will after going through all she went through in my hand? I was a monster, I ruined her. I tortured her emotionally, physically, even psychologically. And yet I didn't realize until it was too late ,Forcing my face away from there I began heading to my office, opening the door. I saw my grandpa relaxing on my chair with a frown on his face."Grandpa, what are you doing here?""It's a goo
Now everything makes sense why I couldn't find her , she moved to SA. A country I could never think of looking for her. It is also the reason why all her past records before five years were hidden from everyone, and nothing about her was known.But what I don't understand was how she suddenly became rich, a business tycoon to be specific. Who made her rich? Or she isn't the one. But the anger racing in her eyes, the balls of fire rolling in her eyes as she gaze at me confirmed everything, that she is the one. She is May.Besides, nothing changed except that she looked more mature and beautiful with elegance and inclusiveness. All other features of her remains.Taking her eyes away from me, she sat down ; clearing her throat she began"I would like to apologize for keeping you all waiting, as it was, there were some certain things I needed to take care of before coming here. It isn't something that can wait. "Pausing, glancing around briefly,"everything has its level of importance, the
A heavy knock on the gate got me running down stairs, I met the security coming to me as well,"whats going on?""A crazy man is outside the gate , ma'am. He demands to see you, he persists, and wouldn't stop knocking. He had refused to leave unless he met with you." He informed me."What's his name?""Benson,""What!" My eyes widened as I stared at him. How the hell did he find me? And why's he here? I can't let him see my kids."Can you chase him away?""No, ma'am ,""Call the cops, tell them a thief is in my house," with that I went back inside. Getting in i saw my kids coming down,"no babies, this is not time to be down go back upstairs,""Why mummy?Is it because of the person hitting on our gate?""Yes,""Who's he?""A monster who shouldn't be here." I responded seething. That monstrous demon wants to cause me unnecessary headaches. Why would he be hitting on my gate ferociously like that? Is not like I am owing him. How could people intentionally get on others' nerves?The conti
My breath hitch. My eyes widened horrifically as Benson look down to gaze at my son;"Ahhh!"a loud scream followed by a scurrying feet and a laughing voice echoing in the whole place as he ran out of my side, He's gone before I could say jack. Her sister had poured a bucket of water on him while he ran after her to retaliate. A loud sigh of relief flowed out of my mouth as my son vanished from Benson's prying eyes. He looks at me"you have kids?"Should I tell him, or should I deny it?"Yes, I adopted two kids after I left. So,""Oh,"I can see the disappointment in his face. What was he thinking?To pepper the whole thing I added,"you weren't expecting me to have kids for you after you killed my unborn child, huh?" Blinking back my tears to hide my emotions, I put on an emotionless face. A face devoid of all emotions, all feelings, all expressions."I know you lost the baby, I'm sorry," frustratedly, he added,"move out of the past let see what the future holds for us.""Us?"I scoffed,"
The meeting was finally over as I was rushing back home to meet my kids. We are having a family time today and Dr. David says he's in town and he is coming over to spend time with us. I'm very happy he will be coming. It has been so long since we have had him around. Back there in SA he does come once in a while to spend time with the kids and I especially the kids who loved him so much. They use his company as a male figure in their life to hide the absence of a father. There's had been times when my kids was insulted in school for having no father, I was coming to pick them up luckily Dr David was in the car with me when I heard some kids making jest of them and calling them bastard, says they don't have a father .That was way before we came here. I was hurt, broken seeing my kids being humiliated by their peers but before I could make a move, Dr David was already out protecting my kids like a father should. He told the kids that he is their dad and so they should never call them
**David**May's kids had gone to bed as I sat alone now with her in the sitting room. She was sipping a very hot tea, says something about her being cold."How have you been since May?" I asked, interjecting on the silence which had existed ever since we put the kids to bed."Fine." She answered with a distant look. There seems to be something bothering her. Her eyes were distant as her face contorted in a little frown,"are you sure?" I pursue,"Oh, yeah," Her eyes swivel on me briefly before she takes it away staring at space again."If you said so," With that I let the earlier pregnant silent reign between us again as we both stayed alone in our thoughts. After sitting for more than fifteen minutes with no word spoken by anyone just left to think about nothing or something which was bothering us, I couldn't handle it anymore. I couldn't stay still,I was becoming restless. The main reason why I came to Chicago was to claim what belongs to me. May is mine, mine alone and I can't le
The sight before me was tearing me up, making me emotional. Seeing the way my daughter was interacting with her dad couldn't hurt me more than I have been hurting, no! It hurt so fucking much, more than the hurt I've been feeling for years.I watched as he liked her up from the grand raising her above to the sky as they shook their body to the beat of invisible song. The broad smile on their face couldn't hurt less.I was being torn apart seeing them. It is like a dagger stabbing through my heart repeatedly, consistently with no relent.Closing my eyes and reopening it I saw him now trying to keep her on a swing chair. After he succeeded he began to swing her around as my daughter smiled like Never before. Most times she's quiet, yes , she got along with Dr David but I've never seen such happiness in her even when she's playing with him. It was genuine and lovely, enchanting . They look so good together like a father and daughter who came to the park to have fun. It is as if they
After he left , I sat down briefly thinking of my life. I don't know why everything is getting more and more difficult. I ought to be winning but here; Benson still takes the lead. Storming round the whole park, a little frown itching on my forehead as I search for my kids. I can't find them. Neither them or Benson. I don't even know where he took my kids to. I was almost at the point of losing it when I spotted them a bit far away from me, their backs turned to me. They were standing at the Ice cream vendor.Heaving out in relief I began to make my way towards them but stopped when I remembered that going to pick them up would expose me. Benson doesn't know I'm their mother and I don't want him to know either until maybe I relieve the payback urge swimming in me.Hiding away from view, I beckoned to one of the park workers who willingly agreed to help me after I told him what I needed help for. He agreed to move to them while I remained at my hidden place watching.From where I was
**May**I woke up , blinking my eyes severally to see clearly my environment. When I got accustomed to the bright light shining in the room, It was only then did I realize that I was in the hospital.I sighed, closing my eyes as I tried to recall why I was there in the first place. It wasn't long before everything came rushing back . How David shot Benson but I took the bullet in his place.Sighing again, my hand unconsciously went into my stomach as I massage it trying to see if I could feel a movement. I felt none.I won't be surprised if I miscarried since the bullet hits directly in my stomach. My eyes brew immediately with tears when I remember that my kids had an accident and were also kidnapped.I remember David admitting that he staged their accident but he didn't say anything about what they were about or what happened to them at the hospital.I swallowed and blinked a few times, the tears drying up as if a dryer was inserted in them to suck in all the liquid trying to fall.
**David**I was drinking and smoking with my dad as we talked about some random stuff that has been happening in the organization. I have already narrated to my dad how Benson's grandfather showed up and shielded his grandson from me.I told him everything going on including how Benson was tryna snatch my woman from me. He was pissed and even promised to confront his grandfather to stay away from Benson and I's dispute.Gulping down the last drop of wine in my glass cup , I refill it before facing my dad again,"did you kidnap May's kids?""May's kids? Um...you mean your girlfriend's babies?" He asked a hint of confusion plastered on his face. He didn't do it. Knowing that, I should have dropped the talk but I didn't,"yeah." I replied nodding my head."No. I didn't. Why would I ?" "If you did father, you have to tell me. I really want to know who took them.""I did no such thing. I can't adopt your girlfriend's baby, why would I do such a thing?""Maybe because they aren't my kids, an
**Benson**I was sitting at the pool, my legs dipped inside the water as I sipped wine while letting my thoughts wander around. The thought of those little bunnies that got into an accident couldn't leave my mind as I wonder if they would make it.I wish so badly that I glance at them, that I get at least a little picture of what their faces look like.Still moaning in sadness over the little kids I felt a presence behind me. I angled my neck to glance at the person only to see May standing at my back with tears in her eyes. Her eyes were red and swollen and her hair disheveled.She stood there blinking a few times as if to hold back the emotions howling in her. She was blinking back the tears making their way down her chin. She looks like a mess like a mad woman who'd loosen its leese chain and flew from the secluded room she was kept in.The lines of her dried tears line up around her whole face showing that the crying war has been going on for quite a long time.Looking up the sky
Finding out that I'm pregnant was the most terrific news I ever wanted to hear. Honestly, I could not understand why all these things had to happen at the same time. My kids lying helplessly in the hospital while the doctor was telling me that I can't help got me so upset. I can't believe that I will watch my kids die just because of the fact my hands are tied to an extent I can't even help them. It is as if the world has finally ended.We have been hearing that the world would end , that is just a fucking fiction. Watching your kids lying half dead on a hospital bed with no hope of their survival especially when you couldn't do anything to help out I'd the real definition of an ended world. "God! What did I do to deserve this? Who do I offend?" I arrive home to see David sitting on my couch. I wasn't even in the mood to talk to him so I walked upstairs without saying anything to him.I could hear his footsteps behind me but I did not bother to look. I know he's right behind me, al
I was walking out of the company with tears in my eyes. This would probably be the first time I'm crying in years. I was hurt and broken.I felt so bad and sad when I remembered that it was me who killed my child which would probably be my only chance of having a child after what my ex did to me.I think that stupid David knows that I have a very low percentage of giving birth. The possibility of me having a child of mine is slim. I remember my friend Dafoe getting offended when I brought May to the hospital after I mistakenly pushed her down the stairs.I never meant to do that but I know she might not believe it especially when I was forcing her to abort it and I did maltreat her too back then.It was after I'd confronted her that I realized how stupid I have been. I shouldn't have done that , the stupid doctor is only trying to mock me. Maybe he is the father of those kids. Though I can't say they look like me ."Son, watch where ....." My grandpa was saying but pulse when my hea
With the loud bang of the gunshot and the echo of my gun which had fallen down I looked back to see the older version of Benson standing behind me with a big frown on his face.Fuck! Newman Thong! The grandfather of Benson. What the hell he's doing in this goddamn place! "You Marcus are really something else, trying to hurt a Thong, huh?" His question brought my mind back to stare into his fierce eyes which were burning in anger and disgust.Honestly, I might be a powerful mafia son but when it comes to the Things they have this aura that brings fear into your soul merely by looking at them. With the amount of irritation showing on his face I found it hard to keep my gaze on him.They are our greatest enemy , yet we do not attack or provoke them because we know how deadly they could be.I wasn't trying to get into his family's bad list. I only wanted to get rid of him. It was supposed to be a smooth kill and no one will suspect men ."What were you trying to do?"I kept quiet as I wat
All night I was tossing and turning. I couldn't get the image of the bastard doctor hitting May.What I'm feeling is anger and rage. I felt like strangling him to death. Now I know why May feels so lost and lifeless and it is also the same reason why she haven't been getting enough sleep.But what I fail to understand was what really go wrong not that I'm surprise though perfect bastard like him are always cunning ~the mostly have a lot under their sleeves . They are more dangerous than snake.Looking at the wall it morning, almost eight. I stood up and head to the shower hopefully the cold water could calm my banging head. The thought of what May is going through is giving headache.I can't believe that after what I made her go through that she would witness that horrible maltreatment again. I aren't perfect but know I have realize how bad and heartless I was and I have also made a resolution and I know I will never go back to being that again. I might have indulge in such act due t
*May*With tears in my eyes I lay on the floor of my shower room. I can't believe that after escaping from bully I came back to the worst if it. I can ever believe that the man I trusted so much could be the one hurting me now. I never saw it in him or my desperation to leave Benson's house blinded me from seeing the real image of David.The worst of it now is I do not know how to escape especially when he got his men everywhere. And even if I found an opportunity I can really not when my kids is also under watch. He's watching all of us and the isn't any way I can run away .And then I can't trust Benson either, he might be acting sorry now but there's no guarantee he would be better. I think my life is scrolled up.It have always been that way,"Open this door , May." David's hand knock and voice boomed and I panicked. Is he going to hit me again?Knowing that leaving him waiting could also make things worst for me I crawled to the door and open it. I had locked it earlier to save me
I felt a tap and a little push then I stir to see May nudging me,"mmmm?""I want to pee, can you take your head off?""Oh, sorry." I apologise moving away. I felt empty when she left as the warmth I was getting from her body vanished. I almost drag her back to lie back on the bed but I know I can't especially when she's pressed.Patiently, I laid on the bed wishing ernestly that she would return back to the bed, back into my arms. I won't force her if she doesn't as I don't have the right to do that after all I made her go through.After some minutes pass, she came out of the bathing room and moved to my bed. But instead of lying down she sits,"what's wrong May? Are you okay?""Yeah."she murmured."Talk to me may, please. I know im the last person you would like to speak to but please say something. " She said nothing, instead she hug herself frowning her face."May,""I'm hungry." She answered at least.I sighed sighing out in relieve. ' what the fuck was I thinking.'Getting up from
