He looked at me pitifully. “The situation that brought you here is just a terrible one. I will help you as much as I can”he promised. I don’t really believe him.he might change his mind in a few minutes. He opened the door. “Come inside," he urged the nurse. Olivia was still standing outside.The nurse came in with a bag. Doctor Mason ran a blood test on me. He tested it and it came out positive. I was truly pregnant. He ran another text on me. It says I am three weeks pregnant. “Now is not the time for stress.I will tell them also. Have you started living here?”.I nodded, “Yes, I moved in yesternight”. “Ok, avoid their wrath, especially Michelle and Michael. Avoid their wrath at all cause. And you will be fine”.Doctor Mason had been with the family for a very long time. He knows their ways of life. “They are all ruthless,”he added. “Ok thanks sir.I will be careful”I said.Doctor Mason’s words scared me more.he said they are ruthless. They displayed two deadly attitudes in my sight
I went to the bathroom to check my cheeks. It was red and swollen. “You will be fine. It’s a matter of time,”I told myself. The pain has reduced a bit but I still have to take drugs. Doctor Mason gave me some pain relief which won’t affect the baby.I fell on the bed and stared at the ceiling. No one was coming to save me. Val was the only one I could speak to, to be calm. Michael has my phone with him. I opened the rules booklet for the house. There were many rules. “Wow, it even has sections”. Some rules have divided sections.On the first page were rules to the sitting room and diner table. Whoever gets to the sitting room first decides what channel to watch. Business news must be watched in the morning and night. No phone is allowed at the diner till the diner is over. No eating after the forty minutes the diner has started. “Funny eating is even timed,”I chuckled.I was reading the rules to be familiar with the house and to avoid getting into troubles with them. Same time, readin
They became startled, Grace held her mother’s hand. Helen used one hand to signal to her daughter not to make any sound, “Remain silent”. Ethan keeps hitting and banging the door.The other members of the house were awake by the actions of Ethan. Jacquelyn knew it was her husband throwing tantrums. Liberty knew it was Ethan. It’s not his first time doing things like that when he's drunk.Liberty’s husband,Roman, came in ten minutes earlier than Ethan. The noise woke everyone in the house.the whole household were used to Ethan being a mess except for Helen and Grace. They were the only ones who were scared in their rooms. And maintained silence.Jacquelyn woke from her sleep and approached the door. The whole house was awake by then. Jacquelyn opened the door and moved close to her husband. “It’s late, why the noise?”She queries him. Ethan was still drunk and speaking gibberish, “I own this house. You lock the door and keep me outside.I have been knocking and my key isn’t opening it”.
Grace saw him and screamed. Ethan had slightly cut Helen in the arm. She pushed him backwards heavily. Ethan hit his head on the floor and passed out. Everyone heard the scream in their rooms.They rushed towards its direction. Liberty was the first to get inside the room. She saw Helen bleeding from the hand. And Grace shivering at a spot. She didn’t notice Ethan was on the floor. She became scared at the level of the blood. Helen is wasting. Help! help!!She cried out. Her husband joined the room. Jacquelyn ran inside also, she was the first to notice her husband on the floor.“My husband is dead”,she screamed. She dragged her husband’s body to herself. Helen looked at the direction. “Oh, I didn’t kill him. He stabbed me,”Helen said. Grace could not understand. Roman was so scared he called the emergency number 911.“Hello, someone is dying here. He is not breathing anymore”Roman trembles. “What happened?. Give your address for a dispatch”The receiver said. “Ok, dispatch is on the
The noise scared Roxana. She looked out of the car window, “Baby, but this is your grandfather’s house. Lawrence house”. She was perplexed as the reason Michael reacted that way. It was harsh.The chauffeur reversed the car and headed to Lawrence court expansion. “You scared me Michael”Roxana uttered. She could see the tension all over Michael when the chauffeur drove to his grandfather’s house.He had to find an excuse for Roxana not to insist on going back. “Rosie baby, it’s not so deep”. Roxana nods her head, “But the screams were deep and harsh”.Michael exhaled, “Baby, see from this angle. I am getting married soon to you. And my chauffeur is still driving me straight to my grandfather’s house. He is trying to say. I am not man enough”. He lied.Roxana reasoned about it and found the fact interesting. She feels it’s a good fact. “You are never going to be a grandfather or parent’s toy forever”. Michael continued, “I want to be your baby forever. As for him, I will deal with him l
Helen was heavy hearted as she journeyed to see Joanna, Jacquelyn hasn’t been home since the incident. She was still in the hospital with her husband. Liberty is helping to take care of them all.Grace knew her mother was worried. She placed her hand on her mother’s lap. “I am sure we will be fine soon”. Helen didn't say anything, she only nodded. She had so much hope in the house that even when I dropped out of school.She was still sending money for the house upkeep. She never believed she could outlive poverty. She used her opportunity the way she saw it. Draining my late father and not learning how to add to his struggles.She was still nodding as she looked out of the car’s window. Grace could tell her mother had long thoughts in her. She was looking at her with pity. “Mommy, trust my words. We will be fine”Grace assures her mother.They got to the front gate of Cotton world. “We are here. You both can alight”. Helen and her daughter got down from different doors. Helen looked up
Ds das“How did this happen?. Who did this to you?”Joanna questioned. All what was happening in the house was not known to Joanna and Judge because they stayed away.Helen scoffed, “Let me explain all in detail”. Joanna yelled,, “Why is no one telling me about all these that is going on”. Joanna stood up and started pacing around the house. Helen did well for every member of her family when she got married to my father.Generously, she extends her good life to her family. The little education and fashion training Johanna had. Helen’s money was part of the money she used in attaining her goals.Helen stood to calm her down, “Stay relax Johanna, my Jo. Don’t get too angry. I am fixing it all. And all will soon be fixed”. Joanna was panting. She sat with Helen gently. Helen advanced with her narration, “To clear the debt, I have to go back home. In my husband’s house. A rich man needed someone to be his grandson’s surrogate mother”.Joanna left her mouth agape. She was just sitting and li
Michael stayed behind Roxana. They entered the house. Roxana walked in elegantly like a model. She passed through the main building looking around. “Still as beautiful as always,”She said.She could see the family from afar, it was five minutes for the breakfast to start. “Hello to every beautiful soul here”she greeted. I lifted my head when I heard a strange voice.She is tall and beautiful. She looks expensive. It’s obvious she is wealthy. Her presence intimidated me. But I heard myself not to have a low self esteem around her.I see the reason Michael chose her. She is beautiful, hardworking and wealthy. If not, Michael wouldn’t always allow her to go on business trips all the time. He did have picked someone else to marry. “Pretty Rosie,”Michelle hugged her. “Wow, Roxana dear”Michael hugged her. “Roxana welcome”Lawrence shakes hands with her.She didn’t greet me, but I said “hello” and smiled. She didn’t reply to my greetings. I guess she knows I was the surrogate lady. She looked
Ann clapped her hands and snapped her fingers, “Smart girl”. Roxana laughed, shaking her head. She and her friend were having their moment. “I wish we could cheer for this but alcohol isn’t allowed in the hospital ward,”Roxana jokes.Her friend laughed, raising her head up. “When you are healed up. We will cheer for it. I promise,”Ann said. Roxana has an idea. “I should have a picture of how badly I was hurt by him. So, if I try changing my mind and I look back at the pictures I will be strong hearted”.“It’s a good idea. I will do you the favor”,Ann stood. She took her phone to take pictures of the wounds and bruises. She drops her phone and takes Roxana’s phone. Her parents have brought her phone to her in the hospital.Ann takes the phone to take pictures of the wounds and bruises. When Michael walked in. Ann has started taking the pictures on Roxana’s phone. Michael saw how Roxana was turning her body and Ann was taking pictures of it.Obviously, the sight irritates Michael. He ha
I looked at Val, my heart suddenly ceased to work. My breath increased. “Ma, I don’t understand you?”I managed to utter. Helen laughed hysterically, “This company has been dead for long, did you know how it resurrected?”. Val was shaking her head left and right as she listened to the conversation.“I don’t know how it came to be but I know the company belongs to my late father and I am a part of the beneficiary”,I said with some confidence although I am sad and heartbroken. “When your father was alive the company has you as a beneficiary. But after that it died. So, during the re-establishing you weren’t present to contribute to it”Helen lashed out.I raised an eyebrow. Her facts were not corresponding. It was a fact with no genuine talk in it. I tried to defend myself. “I wasn’t reached out to. I had no idea all this was going on. I would have contributed to it”I said.“All I know is that I and Grace has toiled to re-establish and return the factories glory. Do not come back to claim
Michael exhaled, he was shocked with the question Roxana asked her. He never thought she could remember that particular name. “It is you, I called you that as the new affection name I gave you”.That was a plain lie Roxana knew. She pretends she was okay with it. “I will think about it. It’s strange you never called me that since”,She said. The nurses started coming in. Michael was expected to leave till the visiting hour.“I will return at the visiting hour. Take your fruits and supplements to heal up quick”Michael said and left. He went home to bath and get ready for work.As expected, Helen and Grace gets ready for the day. Grace has nowhere to go she has been suspended. However, she didn’t tell her mother. Grace drove her to her workplace. “Grace, we are here get down from the car and enter there”,Helen says. “Oh, sorry Ma”She smiled and alighted from the car.She watched her mother’s car leave and she called Charles. She obviously can’t enter the company she has been suspended fo
He gnawed his teeth. “Let’s go to Brentford hospital”he ordered his chauffeur. As they drove to the hospital he stopped at a fruit stand. Ordered his chauffeur to get many fruits for Roxana. At a pharmacy he ordered his chauffeur to get some supplements for Roxana as well.He was hoping she forgives him and does not leak the truth to anyone. Unknown to him she has told Ann about it. Ann didn’t plan to leak it but to mark out a great plan for whoever he was cheating on that made him beat her up.He entered the hospital and saw Miranda at the waiting room. “Mrs Briggs, how are you?”He asked and hugged her. “Michael, I am okay. And leads from the police?”,she inquired. They disengage the hugs. “Mrs Briggs, calm your nerves. I am serious about it. It will be good. I just want my Rosie to get well first,”Michael said.He was trying to calm Mrs Briggs by laying emphasis on Roxana’s well-being. “Can we go inside now?”He asked. “No, the visiting hour is in the next five minutes,”She said, che
He yelled and pointed in their direction, “What is this supposed to mean?. Is this a love garden or a working place?. Who does this romantic show off while at work?”. Everyone around shivered. Michael’s voice echoed loud around the building.Charles and Grace stood up in fears. Charles has known his boss to be strict man who is feared around. Grace hasn’t seen this side of him till that moment. She looked around to see if it was reality.Michael has never been so harsh on her. He just got her a beautiful bracelet the previous day. What could have gone wrong just yesterday to the next day?. She was confused. Other members of the staff stood facing downwards. They don’t want to share eye contact with him. Michael’s breath increased and his face was red while his eyes were splitting fire.“Mr Wellington, is this how you head your department?. Playing and showing off affections while at work?”Michael screamed. Mr Wellington could not reply.No one dare replies Michael whenever his angry.
He widened his eyes. Ann must have heard what he said. He instantly changed the discussion. “I am sorry for allowing you to go home by yourself. I should have driven you home”.Roxana was confused about what he said. She was about to retreat when she saw Ann approaching. She kept mute and didn’t argue with him. “Okay, it’s fine”she hissed.Ann has been a close friend to Roxana for a long time. She knows much of her attitude and body languages. She didn’t argue with Michael or challenged him to repeat what he just said.She only tried to send him a message pretentiously. “Michael, use your connection and power to find the culprit. Because if you don’t, I will find it out myself”She said.Michael exhaled, “I will for sure”. The project at work was done so Laila had to call her boss. Michael excused himself from the ward to take Laila’s call. “Hello sir, the robot has completed 99.9percent. It’s okay to be launched”. This is great news for Michael and his household.The launch of the rob
Her mother rushed towards her daughter screaming, “Help! Help!!,Help!!!”. Immediately, two house helpers ran to the spot and helped Roxana up. Her mother got close to her daughter. Her heart stopped for a few minutes.“What could have happened to her?”. “Who could have attacked her”. “There are bruises and marks all over her body”. And signs of teeth bites. It was a scary scene to watch for the mother over her child. She cried as she inspected the marks and bruises. Roxana’s eyes remained closed, she wasn’t moving or breathing.The mother tried to revive her daughter but she couldn’t. She called the emergency number. For some help to come over and help her. They were taking too long. She can’t keep watching her daughter lay motionlessly like that.With the help of the house helpers. She was able to carry her in the car. She was crying as they carried her. She couldn’t wait for the arrival of the emergency services. She drove her daughter to a nearby hospital.The manner at which she d
“Ok sir,”The chauffeur replied. He didn’t know the actual car his boss was pointing at. He only drove off towards the outside. Michael didn’t raise his head. He was still dialing Roxana’s phone number.The chauffeur was still looking around but didn’t know where he was actually driving to. And who exactly he was chasing. Roxana’s number went through and she picked the phone. “Hello Michael, what is wrong?”. “Rosie, I am sorry, I have been so busy I haven’t eaten since. Where are you?”Michael said.“Hmm, ok, if that is it. I am at work packing up to leave”Roxana replied. “Okay, wait. I will be there soon”He uttered. Michael ends the call.“Drive to Roxana’s store. Don’t chase the car anymore. Tomorrow is another day for that”He uttered. That’s a sign of relief for the chauffeur because he was only driving and not chasing after any car.If Michael had not mentioned about going to Roxana’s office it would have been a difficult day for the chauffeur as Michale would get angry if he didn't
Shockingly, she shut the door behind her and ran out. Michael saw her, Grace didn’t. She only heard someone banged the door. Laila went back to her seat looking stunned. She never knew they had gone so deep with their relationship.She sat for a few minutes trying to get a clearer picture of what she saw in her head. “What did I just see?”. “How can her boss be having romance at work in his office?”. “What if she wasn’t in the seat and Roxana stormed the office?”. “Is her boss really having a double affair after proposing publicly to Roxana?”. Those were the questions going on in Laila’s head.She just couldn’t fathom what exactly happened. She stared at the bare floor. “I don’t think he can have time for me now, I should visit the cafeteria to have lunch”. She left her table in the cafeteria. She was only wondering if he had broke up with Roxana to be so bold to smooch Grace in the office.“Who is that?”Grace queried. “Relax, I don’t care who was there. I love you, honeypot, and that
