I sat in my grace. Looking at them. It was in the moment.I knew Doctor Mason had done good for me. He has inherited a lovely space in my mind that I will never forget. He calmed the beast for me.No family member gets involved in the fight between them. Michael poured some fruits in it and gave it to me. I collected it with a smile, “thank you”. He held Roxana by the hand. “I am sorry everyone. I will be back soon”. He walked while dragging her behind.He didn’t take her to the car to zoom off to the house. He took her to the main house. In the sitting room, he sat her down. “Rosie, do not push me over the head this time. Do not,”he warned her. Roxana nods, “So, you are taking sides. You are making her feel she owns you”.He drop her hand in anger, and paced up and down the room for a few minutes. His palm was on his forehead. “I am trying to be calm with you. Do not push me Rosie. Do not”he yelled. It was so loud we could hear it faintly in the garden.Michelle scoffed, “He is becomi
The time Michael called last was past one. Ann had prepared lunch after the call, and it was getting close to dinner time. He still had not called. It’s past five in the evening. Roxana lost all her hopes.Her energy went back to zero, she became lonely despite being with her friend. Michael didn’t call her. He only wanted to know if she had gotten home.Since the case of me being photographed and attached to him. He was trying to thread softly and avoid anything that will tarnish his image or make him get arraigned in court of law.“Ann, I am losing it”. Roxana said with a heavy heart. She can not imagine the wedding plan being cancelled. She can’t stand it. The news will go more viral and the shame from seeing another woman with him can ruin her.All her life revolves around him. “There is an atom of truth in what Michael said. If he doesn’t have a child his lineage might go into extinction”. Ann sat on the couch with her folded legs, she rested her head on her chin and was looking
The voice sent a signal of happiness to her whole body, she blushed hard. She bit her lower lips before replying. “Hello Rosie, are you there?”.Roxana finally opened her mouth to answer, “Mikky, my love, I am here”. She waited to hear his response. “I have called your friend to know if you have gotten home”.She was still caught in the awe of excitement hearing his voice. She changed her voice to sound more sexy and more feminine. “Yes, she told me about me”. Ann fell on the couch reacting to what her friend said. “Are you at home or with your friend?”.Michael asked.She feels Michael is still worshiping her. “I just got to Ann’s place”. “Ok, take care of yourself. I Want to know if you got home safe. Glad you did”Michae said. “Ok”Roxana replied. “Bye”he ends the call.That was not what she expected. If it was before he did have to send a chauffeur to bring her back to Lawrence Court. He just aborted the call and didn’t say more.Amazed, Ann raised her head from the couch. “He ends t
She stepped out of the house into the garage. She ignited the car engine. The gatekeeper was sleeping in. She unlocked the gate herself and drove off to Lawrence court. As she drove into the street in the middle of the night.Her hands begin to shake behind the wheels. She was scared anything might happen to her. No one knew she was on the road at that time. She parked somewhere beside the road and texted Ann. Her fingers were trembling. She made errors twice before getting it right.“Michael didn’t come home. I am on my way to the Lawrence court to meet him there”. She dropped her phone as soon as the message was delivered to Ann. She didn't turn off the car’s engine as she parked beside the road.Immediately, she sent the message. She continued her journey to the Lawrence Court. As she drove her eyes were looking at every direction in fear. Her palms became cold. After some minutes of driving, she saw a car parked at the side of the road. Two men were at the back of the car pulling
Roxana exhaled, “So, I will be here. Michael’s fiancée will stand here till day breaks or what”She fumes. The security guard tries to calm Roxana, “Miss, try to understand me. The particular house you are going to belongs to the owner of this whole Court”.“Which is my father in-law to be”. She interrupts the security guard proving her stand. The security guard was also defending his job. He doesn’t want to lose his job. He continued to explain and give reasons to Roxana.“Miss, the house you are going to, the inhabitant is an old man. As you know the sole aim behind this whole place”. Roxana cuts in, “For the old people to rest”.The security guard moved close to Roxana, “Miss, I can see you really understand the code. So, it shouldn’t be a cause for alarm or debate between us. You can’t get access inside the estate”.Roxana’s patient was wearing off, she couldn’t drive ahead because the other gates were still locked. She came out of the car and stood beside her car, with her back r
I saw a hand aiming towards me. I didn’t know I had some energy left in me. My hand was fast enough to slam the door in the face of the oppressor. I was so scared, “Who could have come to my door to do that?”. I sat on the bed with fears all over my mind. My body quivered in fear and I sat, wondering who could want to hurt me.Olivia was done dressing up. She approached the main building to resume her job for the day. Michael heard the noise as I slammed the door. He rushed towards the direction of the noise. Olivia saw his reaction. She ran after him.She thought I had been hurt and she wasn’t there. Roxana started banging the door. “You can’t snatch him away from me, you pauper. Open this door now. Michael came out of that room. I am here”Roxana screamed.Her voice was so loud Lawrence heard the noise in his room. He got out of bed and made his way out of the room. He walked towards the direction of the noise. From the noise and the words, I knew it was Roxana. “Snatch?, who wants t
Impossibility was about to happen. There was a pregnant silence, loads of words were hidden in the silent air we all were breathing in and out at that moment. We all shifted our gaze to Roxana.Her lips were still sealed together not looking like it will open anytime soon. I actually wish Michael found a better fiancée to become his wife. The bitterness in her towards me was visible to everyone around.How would the child I am carrying cope with her ways? It’s my child because my eggs were used with Michael’s sperm. The silence was still unbroken.Michael broke the suppressing silence “If you don’t apologize to her, I doubt if we can continue with the wedding. The child in her is mine. And it’s my biological right to protect the child by all means”. “Valid fact”,Lawrence said, clapping for Michael.“I am proud of those words. I wish your parents were here to see how much you have become a man”Lawrence said. Lawrence's words boost Michael’s morale. He felt proud of himself. The conditi
She pressed her phone to show her friend the video. Ann watched with her mouth agape. “This is terrifying, it truly does men. This must have been terrible for you”. “It was, I was shivering with fear as I drove to safety”Roxana uttered.She started consuming her food. “You should show this to the cops. It will be helpful. I think”Ann suggested. “I will do that now, let me call the helpline and forward this video to them”.Roxana phones the helpline and tells the receiver what she saw and the place it happened. She narrated everything she saw and forwarded the video to them. “You will need to come in for some questions please, Miss”The receiver pleaded.She and her friend packed their unfinished foods and drinks and headed to the precinct in their cars. The news crew gets there in a hurry and starts to interview Roxana. It was her first time talking to the media.“Where were you going at that time of the day when you saw them?”One of the media people threw the question at her. “I was g
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
