Chapter 1

"Don't you ever step foot in my house again!" George barked at the lady who lay on the hospital bed with swollen and bloodshot eyes. Her hand clutched her lower abdomen, tears rolling from her eyes to her ears and down to the pillow. Lydia didn't bother to look his way as her lips trembled. He had disfigured her face and beaten her mercilessly till she fainted. The only thing holding her back from leaving that house was her four years old daughter. It was from one problem to another, the doctor had told her that she had lost the baby in her womb again due to the horrible torture from her husband. "And don't even think of Khloe let alone come to see her" he added, causing Lydia to snap her eyes at him. She quickly forced her body up from the bed disconnecting the IV from her hand as she moved towards him and cried, "George, don't…, don't do this… to me" she choked as tears continued to stream down her cheeks. She fell on her knees. Khloe was the only reason she remained in the lo...

Chapter 2
“What are the little things that always make your day better?” Carson asked the lady before him. She was dressed in an off-shoulder, long black gown hugging her slim body, her hair falling to her shoulders, and her collarbone exposed for the gentleman to view. They were on a date at R&W restaurant, a place for the perfect romantic date. Carson was dressed in ripped jeans trousers and a white polo. “Well, that should be waking up early” Amelia replied, “I hate it when I wake up late, it ruins the rest of my day” she added with her chin slightly raised, and lips in a slight tug. Her hand stirred the glass of wine she held gently “And what time is your early?” He asked with his eyes carefully watching her. “That should be 5 am” she responded with a smile “Wow, impressive. I don't wake up early at all” Carson admitted as he sipped from the glass only for him to hear her say, “When we get married, I won't take that from you. We'll be waking up before 6 am”. He almost choked on hi

Chapter 3
Lydia watched as the man came closer to her. With every step he took, she shook in fear of getting closer to her death. She had sent her ex-best friend a message to take care of her only daughter, Khloe. The best thing to do was to end it all, She was tired of this life. After all, that was what George wanted as well. When Carson walked closer to her, he frowned, 'isn't this the same lady from the hospital?' He asked himself. Looking at Lydia, he said calmly, “Get down” This only made her hold on to the rail behind her tightly. She was on the other side of the rail, standing at the very edge of the bridge. “No!” She replied stubbornly. Her eyes held a faraway look, her lips quivering as she began to say, “You don't know what I've been through. My life is a living hell. I just want to die, I just want to die!” She screamed. Her hair and hospital gown flew as the wind led them. The sound of water underneath them. Carson raised his hands in surrender, “I really would have loved

“What did I do? Why am I under arrest?” Lydia asked the man with brows furrowed deeply. Carson only continued to pull her towards his car. He had a deep frown as well, he was doing exactly what his friend would have wanted him to do right now. “For trying to kill yourself, of course” he spat as he shoved her into the car and went over to the driver's seat. With every passing moment, confusion continued to envelop Lydia, she stared at him and still could not understand why Carson, who had said she was safe a while ago, was now arresting her. Indeed, no one except Khloé loves her. “When did that become a crime?” She asked as she tried to blink back the tears from flowing down her eyes again. “You'll know soon,” Carson said to her as he dialed his friend's phone number. “She still hasn't been found yet, I swear to God, I'll—” “I found her” Carson cut Nick off. The phone was on speaker, so Lydia could hear their discussion. “You found the girl? My patient?” Nick asked in surpri

Chapter 5
Feeling the soft mattress under her, Lydia hummed and moved comfortably on her bed. After a while, she opened her eyes and looked around at the unfamiliar room, and began to wonder where she was. Her body ached, and her stomach grumbled in hunger. Still, on the bed, she began to recall all that happened. She looked around to confirm whether she was in prison or not. A smile formed on her lips, she was so happy that she not only did not die last night, but she also didn't sleep in jail. With a groan, she tried to stand up from the bed when she heard a lady's cry from outside, and she furrowed her brows. She slowly got up from the bed before making her way to the door. She noticed her hospital gown had been changed to a big gown. As she walked she thought, what was she thinking, he must have a wife, and the woman might be having an argument with him right now because he had brought a lady to their house. She needs to clarify things. Slowly, she traced her way to where the noise wa

Chapter 6
Lydia watched as a pretty lady walked into the kitchen. She was dressed in black trousers and a sky-blue top, she tucked her top into her trousers. She was looking so pretty that even Lydia could not get her eyes off her. She had the aura of miss gorgeous and her hair was pinned so beautifully. Lydia opened her mouth to speak, but no words seemed to come out of her mouth. She couldn't help but marvel. What she didn't understand is why Carson would lie that he wasn't married when he had such a beauty as a wife. “Marian, you're late,” Carson said with a calm voice. And I noticed he was speaking to the lady. He carried the little boy in his arms as he observed the lady. “I'm sorry, Mr. Carson. The traffic was bad after going to pick up Gary from Grandpa. He made me wait because Gary wanted some cookies from Miranda” she explained so fluently that Lydia kept blinking at how good the girl was.“That's okay if it's for Gary, why not?” He dropped the smiling boy on the counter before as

“Why didn't you do anything?” She asked Carson when Marian was out of sight. She knew if he had asked Marian to give Gary a break, she would have obeyed. “Who else knows how to take care of Gary so well aside from her? She knows the best way to discipline him”. “But…” she paused, but Carson continued to watch her, waiting for her to speak. He could clearly see the displeasure on her face and the pain as well. He wondered how she could feel for someone she had just met. She wanted to cry for a child she had met not even up to an hour ago. Her husband had made her go through hell, yet she was still sweet and caring, he shook his head in wonder. “Good morning, Mr. Carson. Good morning ma'am” An older woman walked into the kitchen. “Good morning ma'am, Anny. This is Lydia, my client. Lydia this is ma'am Anny, my cook and housekeeper”. “Hello, ma'am. Good morning” Lydia greeted with a little bow while Ma'am Anny scoffed, “Call me Anny instead” Although Lydia didn't feel it was righ

Chapter 8
After breakfast, as Carson had said it, he made sure Lydia went shopping for a few clothes she could wear instead of wearing big old Ma'am Anny's gowns. Looking at Lydia in the mall, Carson could tell that the woman was scared of selecting the clothes she'll like to buy. He noticed when they stepped into the shop, her eyes caught a beautiful red skirt but when she checked the amount she pulled her hand away so speedily as if the clothes were fire. Taking note of that particular skirt, he gestured for the sales lady to package that particular skirt without her knowing. Lydia kept walking around the shop without picking anything. She was more concerned about the amount of the outfit. After a while, she came to stand in front of Carson, “I don't think they have the kind of clothes I wear, can we go somewhere else?” She asked and he raised his brows,“Are you sure? I mean, there are a lot of outfits here, and I can see they are beautiful. If you didn't like them, you wouldn't look at

Chapter 9
“Lydia, hope you are ready?” Lydia heard Carson's voice from the outside as she dressed up.“Will be out in a minute” she yelled, so he could hear her. It was Monday, the day she had been waiting for. She was more than ready, especially when she had stayed days without Khloé. Now she is willing to do anything to get her Khloé.Dressed in a black skirt and blue long - sleeves top, she came out of her room looking different.Carson held his breath when he saw her. He was shocked to see her this smart and beautiful. Since he met her, she had always had a sad and pitiful face on that he wondered how she would be able to act smart in front of George. “I don't need to ask if you're ready anymore” he smiled. He was glad that the bruises and every trace of weariness were out.“I think I'm ready” she replied with a nod. As they began to step out, Lydia asked, “Where is Gary?” “Marian has taken him to school. He should be back home by 12 pm” “Oh,” was all Lydia could say. She would have l

Chapter 10
Carson continued to stare at Lydia in awe. He had been scared that he'll have to do with what she can give. He never expected that she'll give this much. She was taking the lead more than he ever expected her to. She kept surprising him, filling him with wonder.Firstly was how she had dressed up so fine and smart, no one will even suspect that she was once beaten into a lump a few days ago. Next, she had held on and waited for him to come before she stepped into the house, even when her daughter was screaming in pain.Another was how she didn't rush to her daughter even when she found her on her knees receiving strokes from her worse enemy. And now she was even speaking so boldly that he wondered if there was any other woman that can beat Lydia when it comes to being courageous.“I ask again, where is George?” Her voice this time held a chill that caused Alma to shiver.“Oh hello, my beautiful wife” George answered from up the stairs as he walked down gently holding Lydia's gaze.
