***Brenda came down from the cab she boarded and paid the taxi driver, she came to see her brother as usual. She went into the hotel and was granted Access, she then went straight to the room her brother lodged. She knocked gently on the door and spoke up so he would know she was the one."Carson is me," she spoke up and she could hear the unlocking of the door. She went in and the first thing that greeted her was a stench of smoke, she coughed out loudly when she inhaled the smoke."Are you burning…." She stopped talking when she realized that it was Carson thay was smoking."Carson! You smoke?" She asked, she was filled with so much surprise. "Yeah, any problem with it?" Carson asked, feeling less concerned as he puffed out more smoke. "Carson stop! Can't you see it's affecting me? When did you even start smoking?" Brenda yelled as she began coughing. Carson sighed and then put out his cigarette. "Carson, what has come over you? This is not you, my brother doesn't smoke or
***"You don't mean it! Bella is really shameless, I sincerely don't know how you both were bestfriend for three good years and you didn't even see any red flags in her. She still has the effrontery to say trash and call Rufus's home her home? How does she even feel?" Seraphina muttered with so much hatred for Bella.Nora just finished narrating the whole drama she had with Bella since arrived at Rufus's home yesterday morning."I don't know, she feels so proud about it. I am not even really shocked at the way she was acting. If she could have sex and get pregnant with my husband behind my back, what else isn't she not capable of doing?""What about Rufus? Is he saying anything?" Seraphina asked and Nora swallowed so hard remembering her burnt wedding frames with him that she found them in the dustbin. "I don't think Rufus ever loved me," Nora muttered, she was on the verge of breaking down in tears."Why did you say so?" "I sat down thinking about the whole thing last night. If he
** Rufus's mansion « 7pm **"You sent for..me ma," Brenda stuttered as she stood beside Bella who was sitting on a comfy chair, her legs resting on the table in front of her.Her laptop was placed on her lap as she watched her favorite Thailand drama."Get me a glass of water immediately," She ordered and Bella immediately rushed off to carry out her orders. She got a glass of water and began rushing back to Bella. She was putting so much effort in satisfying Bella, she doesn't want to get on her bad side at all. Few steps remaining for Brenda to get to Bella, she slipped and the glass of water flew from her hands. The water poured directly on Bella and the glass landed on the floor, it shattered immediately. Brenda's eyes widened as realization hit her hard, what has she done?!" "What the hell!" Bella yelled out as she immediately stood up.Brenda immediately went on her knees and began apologizing and begging for forgiveness."I am so sorry ma, it was my stupid mistake, please
*** " Sir, I am leaving already." Rufus's secretary informed him and Rufus dismissed with a wave of hand.He was done with his schedule for the day but has chosen to remain in his office. The excitement and eagerness he does feel anytime he goes back home from work is no longer there after he divorced Nora.He is not mentally stable anymore, that's why he has been usually quiet. He doesn't want to go back and stay in the same house with Bella and Richard who is now engaged to Nora. It's making him go crazy, he is emotionally damaged and isn't himself anymore.He just wishes things can just go back to the way they were before. He was just busy reading numerous presentations Nora composed for him while they were together.He misses her so much already, and she would forgive him and they get back together.He doesn't mind her being pregnant for his brother, he is ready to take care of the child. He badly needs her back into his life. He was in his company till 8:30pm, that's when
***By the time Rufus got back home, it was already forty eight minutes past nine in the night. As he was about to enter his mansion, he saw a mail man who was about to ring the gate bell. He had to pull over beside him to know what he wanted by that time of the night."Hey, this is my house, looking for someone?" Rufus asked. The mail man used a nose mask and a face cap so it was hard to know what he looked like. "Yes, I was asked to deliver this to Mrs Nora Williams," the mail man said in a muffled voice as he handed Rufus a sealed envelope."Okay, she lives here, I would give it to her." Rufus said as he collected the envelope from him. The mail man left immediately and Rufus drove in.He kept wondering what the content of the envelope was and who must have sent it to her.Anyways, this is going to give him the opportunity to converse with her when he wants to give her the envelope. As soon as he went in, he met Bella waiting for him in the sitting room, stomping her foot on t
***"Oh my goodness! Nora, are you okay?" Rufus asked worriedly as he tried to go close to Nora. "Don't you dare come close!" Nora warned with a glare as she stared at the shattered glass on the floor."I am sorry I freaked you out, I just wanted to…" Nora interrupted him immediately, " Just wanted to do what? What are you even doing here?" Nora queried and he went mute."You should get away from that place so you don't get cut by those broken glasses." "And why do you act like you care? It's none of your business, I am not Bella that you should be worried about " Nora snapped."Stop bringing Bella up all the time," Rufus said calmly and Nora scoffed. "Like seriously? Why wouldn't I? Is she your dearest wife?" "Nora please stop, you and I know that Bella just set me…" Nora cut in immediately, "Save your explanation for yourself, I shouldn't even be here having this conversation with you. I can't stand you, you're annoying as fuck." Nora spat and made to walk out on him from the
** The next morning ** "So other changes that need to be made?" Nora asked her P.A as her hands worked tirelessly on her laptop. She was actually on a voice call with her personal assistant who is managing all her businesses for the time being till she puts to bed. "I will make a list and send it to your email ma," "Okay dear, I am hanging up now. Don't forget to place a call through me once anything comes up." Nora told her and then, the call ended Nora sighed as she continued working on her laptop, she was busy replying emails and trying to balance some financial calculations too.Richard just left the house a few minutes ago for his company. "Lest I forget," Nora suddenly said as she picked up the brown envelope that was laying next to her.It was the same brown envelope that Rufus gave to her last night, she hadn't checked it since then.She removed the seal and brought out the letter that was inside. The first thing that caught her attention was the writings, it was all wri
***"Thanks!" Brenda said to the cashier after paying for the items she bought. She came out from the store and immediately boarded a taxi to the hotel her brother was in. She was going to visit him again. The last time she saw him was over three days ago and that was after he told her that Nora was responsible for making him get imprisoned.She still finds it so difficult to believe because the Nora she knows is the kindest and most loving boss she has ever seen.But Carson is still her brother and he would never lie to her, maybe Nora is just a wolf in sheep's clothing.She arrived at the hotel and looked around to ensure that no one was tailing her. She then walked into the hotel and headed straight to his room.The hotel doesn't seem safe anymore, she would have gotten him an apartment with her savings but he needs to stay on a low key for the time being. As she approached Carson's room, she began hearing noises which consisted of different masculine voices. She suddenly heard
**Three days later~~ A burial site ** The sky was gloomy as everyone had a mournful expression on their faces. The burial ceremony of Richard Williams was just conducted and the sympathizers were beginning to leave in two's and three's.Richard's mother was crying bitterly and few women were the one holding her back so she wouldn't try to do something crazy. Rufus moved close to Richard's grave and took a deep breath, Richard's epitaph was inscripted on the top of his grave."I have nothing much to say to you but you should have just told me the reason why you hated me so much before you died. No matter how badly you treated me, I still loved you as a brother. You brought your death upon yourself because of your stupid obsession but I would never forgive you for almost taking the life of Nora. I hope you rest well in bosom of the lord.`` Rufus said and put on his dark shades before walking away from the burial site. He didn't even bother to console his mother or his father, Richard
** The next morning **Seraphina opened her eyes slowly and was exposed to the early morning rays of sunlight. She slowly sat up and realized she was lying on the floor. She suddenly felt a banging headache and groaned loudly."Fuck! How come I fell asleep on the floor? Nora couldn't even tuck me in, that's unfair!" Seraphina said still feeling sleepy. She stood up from the floor and that was when she remembered what happened last night in a rush. Her eyes widened and she rushed into the rooms and checked for Nora but she wasn't there. She checked the toilets and the kitchen but she was nowhere to be found."Nora! Big sis!" She screamed out as her heart began racing madly in fear. "Oh my goodness! Those evil guys took my sister away!" Seraphina suddenly bursted into tears.She suddenly noticed a white envelope and picked it up, the strange guys must have dropped it off there.She opened it with shaky hands and read it aloud."If Rufus wants the life of his baby and his woman to b
*** Seraphina went to check who was at the door, she had to check from the peephole, the person was a male and he looked like a delivery guy. "Did my sister order something?" Seraphina muttered as she opened the door.Before she could say a word, a gun was placed on her head, she wanted to scream but the strange man signalled for her to keep her lips shut. That minute, Seraphina's heart left its usual spot and she stiffened, no one has ever pointed a gun to her head before. She noticed that the guy wasn't the only one, he still came with the other three guys and Seraphina began shaking seriously. The kem were masked so she couldn't see what they looked like.She wished she could mind-link her sister and tell her to run. "Lead the way!" The guy whispered and Seraphina turned slowly and began leading them to the sitting room."Seraphina! Who is at the door?!" Nora yelled, having no clue of what was going on. Nora suddenly heard footsteps and she sprang up immediately.She screamed
***"Shit! I knew something like this would end up happening!" Denmark muttered as packed his personal stuff inside a particular bag. He watched the live video of how Nora exposed him and Bella and the latter even attested to it. Right now, he is planning to run to a safer place where he would not be found or seen by anyone. He is pretty sure that the police officers are on their way to his home, that he must act fast. His hands were shaking as he packed his clothes and some other things. He suddenly changed into a baggy trousers and top, he then put on a face cap and put on a face mask. He looked at himself in the mirror and was satisfied with his look, he would hardly be noticed and recognized by anyone."I am sorry I had to leave you behind Bella, life isn't always fair in some situations. I have watched a lot of romance novels and the one if the main characters is always sacrificing something huge for the other. Maybe you're the sacrifice this time,please stay strong and t
***"What nonsense are you talking about?! Don't try to cover up what we were talking about? Aren't you ashamed to be throwing yourself cheaply at my husband?" Bella suddenly said and Nora slapped her soundly."You stupid and ungrateful bitch! I want you to tell me if I have never wrong you in any way? Why are you so heartless? As if ruining my happiness wasn't enough, you also wanted to kill my baby and hurt me. You think I don't know about all your evil deeds!" Nora screamed madly at her and Bella froze.Everyone had a shocked expression on their faces, Rufus was confused as hell."No one should interfere between the two of us! I am going to reveal all your evil deeds right here and right now." Nora said with a smirk and Bella swallowed so hard as she began sweating all of a sudden."Firstly, you ruined my home by luring my husband to have sex with you, I am sure you drugged him. The most funny part of it all is that the pregnancy you're carrying isn't even Rufus's child. It's for
** A week later ** "How was school today?" Nora asked Stephanie and the latter smiled brightly.Nora was actually on a video call with Stephanie, she has strengthened her bond with Stephanie within one week. Stephanie takes Nora as her second mom and does not keep anything from her, there's no day that passes that Nora does not speak with Stephanie."Was pretty fine, I am so glad to have known you, you're so sweet, nice and understanding." "Awwwn, I blushed, thanks baby girl, you're getting pretty by the day." "Yeah, guys won't stop flocking around but I am going to follow your advice. My academics comes first and when the right time comes, I can date the guy I like." Stephanie said cutely and Nora wouldn't stop smiling proudly."Good girl, keep making me, momma and poppa that is resting up there proud okay?" Nora said and Stephanie nodded positively. "I am still your daddy's cadet, I am still going to fulfill my promise. I am going to bring your father's murderers to book, I am
***"She has sent it already!" Nora suddenly notified Seraphina as she joined her on the bed. "I am kind of nervous, I wonder what the recordings are all about." Nora downloaded all the files Stephanie sent to her. "There are screenshots of credit alerts, I wonder what this is all about." Nora muttered and connected her phone to an airpod. She gave Seraphina one while she took the other ear. Nora took a deep breath before playing the recording. The first voice they recognized was Bella's voice and the duo looked at each other with widened eyes.The recording about the conversation Bella had a conversation with Doctor Smith where she asked him to hurt Nora and the baby promising to pay him a whopping amount of five hundred millions dollars. "What!!!" They both screamed out at the same time as she removed the airpods from their ear at the same time."Seraphina, what did I just hear? Bella plotted with Doctor Smith to kill my baby and also hurt me?" Nora asked with trembled lips as
** The next morning **"Oh my goodness! So we were right?I guess Denmark and Bella both planned to make a fool out of me, I was so foolish. I even went ahead to date him after you told me that he was Bella's Ex, I think my brain left me all these while." Seraphina muttered as she checked out the pictures of Denmark and Bella kissing. "I shouldn't even be stressing you with all these, I should be able to handle all of these myself. Just relax and concentrate on getting better," Nora muttered as she collected her phone from her. "You're pregnant too and will be due for delivery in less than two months, you also don't need all this stress. Let's handle it together," Seraphina said and Nora sighed. "So you said you guess Bella came back to the hospital after seeing the threat message you sent to her?" Seraphina asked and Nora nodded."I am going to keep toying with her a little with those pictures till I get stronger evidence. She is going down very soon, whatever stupid plans she mus
** Denmark's home **Denmark was busy smoking wildly and giving himself a handjob while watching porn on his laptop. He has been waiting for Seraphina's call since morning because she promised to take the pills he sent to her last week but he hasn't heard anything from her. "Has she taken it already and is already dead in her apartment? If that's the case, I've got to cut off every ties with her. She is so dumb and gullible so I am sure she would take all the pills just like I asked her to. I am also sure she wouldn't survive it but who cares, maybe it's time for her to die. I have no interest in her anymore. If she manages to survive in the end, she should move on with her life. I hope she doesn't foolishly come trying to look for me." Denmark thought silently as he smirked and puffed out more smokes from his cigarettes. "Fuck! I really need a bitch," Denmark spat as he continued giving himself self pleasure but that wasn't enough for him, he wanted more than that.He was still on
