Jacquelyn's mind came to rest. Itâs good they all witness Helenâs movement. Helen wouldnât talk except when she sees Jacquelyn.The kids could sense all was not right with the family. They have not entered the room. They are only positioned in the sitting room, and they can see their belongings outside the house. âMommy, you donât look goodâ. Libertyâs first child asked.âJust hang on baby, we will be fine soonâ. Liberty faked a smile. Many thoughts were running in her head. She was wondering what could have made her sister make such a terrible decision.They had nowhere to go. They had taken shelter in their parents house for a long time. Helen wasnât taking pity on them. She has always had a strong mind since her childhood and is a risk taker.She rarely reverses her decisions. Liberty was just hoping it would end well between them. There was no shelter in reserve for them and their kids. She helped pick Jacquelynâs kids from school also.Jacquelyn arrived half an hour later. Ethan
âAnd she couldnât call to know where the whole family disappeared to since yesterdayâMichelle said. This was the reason I wasnât too happy with their appearance. Last night, I had a good time having dinner alone. With no eye contact with anyone.âGood Morning. Welcome everyoneâ,I greeted. âAnswer the question she asked you,âDenzel said. I donât even know what to say. âI am sorryâI replied. Michael exhaled, âLet her be. She doesnât matter now. Roxana matters moreâ. The breakfast time was due. We ate in silence. I tried as much as possible to avoid eye contact.I didnât bother to bring my phone to breakfast. No need to go to the garden. They were supposed to be at work but stayed back because of Roxana and Michaelâs quarrel.I left for my room after breakfast. As I was about to enter my room. I saw madam Lucy, coming out of the room where the baby items were kept.Itâs been long since I saw her around the house. I entered the room. She didnât see me. I was getting bored staying in the r
Cautiously, Michael does not want to call Roxana at the spot. He dropped her message. âI canât wait for us to be togetherâ. He doesnât want to rush her with talks. âOkâRoxana replied.That was the only response she typed. Nevertheless, it was a good one for Michael. âWe have to go home now,âMichelle announced. Denzel yawned, âYes, we need to get some sleep. We are going to work tomorrowâ.They all walked outside, Michelle and her husband hopped into their car. âMichael, allow the old man to rest. Go to your houseâMichelle said. Everyone laughed. âAllow him to stay with me,Michelle,âLawrence chuckled.âYou have forgotten he has no room in this house anymore,âDenzel recalled. âYes,good reminder,âMichelle added. âMy grandfatherâs room is still available and open to me. Anytime,anydayâMichael said. He stuck his tongue outside. Making funny faces at his parents.The chauffeur starts the car engine. They waved goodbyes. The chauffeur drove them away. Michael walked back to the house with hi
Doctor Mason smirked, âI donât know what to ask. I know itâs the beast in human form, Michael, that did this to you. As he will regret it this timeâ. Doctor Mason got angry at the state of my body.âI just hope the baby is okayâI said sadly. My whole body aches. I couldnât allow Doctor Mason to touch the wounds. He exhaled. He looked at me pitifully. He kept shaking his head. He was dumbfounded and hurt.I could see it in his face. He wasnât pleased with the marks he saw on me. âIf this continues you will not only lose your baby. But also your life. You have to fight for your life at this pointâ.I sat on a chair. I donât even know what to do. All my body aches. âI knew I was in a deep state. I am fighting depression and bitterness. Hatred is all I see all the time. I leave in fear. I wish I could get a chance to go out and come backâ. I lamented bitterly.âIf you truly want to live. You will have to follow everything I say. Comply with it. And you will have little freedom and pursue
Helen watched as the couples got water from a nearby tap and entered the garage to have their. Helen does not know what to do next.Jacquelyn had returned to the room to tell her husband what she saw. For being hardworking Helen likes Liberty for it. Unlike Jacquelyn and her husband who just lazy around.She was on her way to see Joanna and her daughter. Staying there was getting boring for her. Joanna was already at her work place. She took a cab there.Helen had not been there before. She was stunned at the sight of the store. The whole place was spacious and beautiful. The shop is worth a million dollars with the equipment and all.The receptionist directs her to Joannaâs office. She entered. Grace was helping to select new designs of buttons that arrived from France. âHello my dearâShe hugged her sister. Grace stood up to greet her mother. âMommy, welcomeâ. Grace hugged her mother, âI miss you baby but I know Grace is taking good care of youâ.Helen looked around. She couldnât g
They look more determined. âItâs good if you trace it. Itâs not bad if you liberate your mother from all this suffering and get back to school yourselfâ. Joanna stated. âYes aunty,âGrace chuckled.âWhere can I put the house on lease for people to get notifications. I want to put it on lease before traveling backâHelen mentioned. âI will help you with that but you said the house is in a bad stateâJoanna suggested.Helen has another bite on the burger and drops it. Grace was listening to their conversation. Helen answered,âYes, the house is in a bad state. If they pay in advance I will do some little touches. I obviously do not have money to renovate it nowâ.âI doubt if anyone can do that these days except the house is in an environment like ours. But at that place I doubt itâJoanna chuckled. âI actually do not have money for renovation to be frank. Jacquelyn and Liberty did me dirty. I canât allow them to stay in there anymoreâHelen vows.They are her sisters and the house belonged t
He checked his phone. Roxana had hung up. âI will call you later, let me sort the problem at handâ. He said to himself. He raced to the doctorâs office with his family.It was the stress Doctor Mason wanted them to go through. Now he wasnât done with them yet, he planned to make them regret every single pain Michael brought to me.âDoctor, please hope the baby will be saved please?âMichael pleaded. He was pleading when his parents entered the office. They have never seen him so remorseful. He was pleading like a baby whose toy was snatched. âThe injuries are too much on a pregnant lady. I do not know how long it will take. I only said a monthâ. Doctor Mason answered without making contact with any of them.He continued with the work on his table. âMason, what are the chances?âDenzel asked. âThe chances with the baby or the mother, which one of them?âHe answered nonchalantly. âBoth. Of course, itâs the mother that is carrying the childâMichael said.So, he truly cares about my health.
âI have told you. To obey because you need to get your life. Now you are reaping your obedienceâ. Doctor Mason said. âThank you sirâ. I was so emotional tears gathered on my eyelids. He saw it. âI wonât tell you not to drop the tears, drop it. Itâs tears of joy and happinessâ.I laughed wholeheartedly, I havenât done that since I left Val and Brownâs place. It was there I had peace. Havenât had peace since I got to Carter's family house.I have been living in fear. âI will leave you to rest. Will see you tomorrow goodbyeâDoctor Mason left. I turned to face the wall and slept peacefully. No one is creeping on me at night. I miss Val and Brown. I promise to communicate with them the next day.The next morning, Michelle and Denzel came to the hospital to check on me. They came with Olivia. I was excited to see Olivia. I think I miss her. She is also a good girl. Olivia had a big bag with her.A few seconds later, Doctor Mason entered. He acted better to them than the previous day. âWe de
Ann clapped her hands and snapped her fingers, âSmart girlâ. Roxana laughed, shaking her head. She and her friend were having their moment. âI wish we could cheer for this but alcohol isnât allowed in the hospital ward,âRoxana jokes.Her friend laughed, raising her head up. âWhen you are healed up. We will cheer for it. I promise,âAnn said. Roxana has an idea. âI 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 heartedâ.âItâs a good idea. I will do you the favorâ,Ann stood. She took her phone to take pictures of the wounds and bruises. She drops her phone and takes Roxanaâs 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 Roxanaâs 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. âMa, I donât understand you?âI managed to utter. Helen laughed hysterically, âThis company has been dead for long, did you know how it resurrected?â. Val was shaking her head left and right as she listened to the conversation.âI donât know how it came to be but I know the company belongs to my late father and I am a part of the beneficiaryâ,I said with some confidence although I am sad and heartbroken. âWhen your father was alive the company has you as a beneficiary. But after that it died. So, during the re-establishing you werenât present to contribute to itâHelen 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. âI wasnât reached out to. I had no idea all this was going on. I would have contributed to itâI said.âAll 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. âIt is you, I called you that as the new affection name I gave youâ.That was a plain lie Roxana knew. She pretends she was okay with it. âI will think about it. Itâs strange you never called me that sinceâ,She said. The nurses started coming in. Michael was expected to leave till the visiting hour.âI will return at the visiting hour. Take your fruits and supplements to heal up quickâMichael 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 didnât tell her mother. Grace drove her to her workplace. âGrace, we are here get down from the car and enter thereâ,Helen says. âOh, sorry MaâShe smiled and alighted from the car.She watched her motherâs car leave and she called Charles. She obviously canât enter the company she has been suspended fo
He gnawed his teeth. âLetâs go to Brentford hospitalâhe 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 didnât 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. âMrs Briggs, how are you?âHe asked and hugged her. âMichael, I am okay. And leads from the police?â,she inquired. They disengage the hugs. âMrs Briggs, calm your nerves. I am serious about it. It will be good. I just want my Rosie to get well first,âMichael said.He was trying to calm Mrs Briggs by laying emphasis on Roxanaâs well-being. âCan we go inside now?âHe asked. âNo, the visiting hour is in the next five minutes,âShe said, che
He yelled and pointed in their direction, âWhat is this supposed to mean?. Is this a love garden or a working place?. Who does this romantic show off while at work?â. Everyone around shivered. Michaelâs 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 hasnât 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 donât want to share eye contact with him. Michaelâs breath increased and his face was red while his eyes were splitting fire.âMr Wellington, is this how you head your department?. Playing and showing off affections while at work?âMichael 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. âI am sorry for allowing you to go home by yourself. I should have driven you homeâ.Roxana was confused about what he said. She was about to retreat when she saw Ann approaching. She kept mute and didnât argue with him. âOkay, itâs fineâshe hissed.Ann has been a close friend to Roxana for a long time. She knows much of her attitude and body languages. She didnât argue with Michael or challenged him to repeat what he just said.She only tried to send him a message pretentiously. âMichael, use your connection and power to find the culprit. Because if you donât, I will find it out myselfâShe said.Michael exhaled, âI will for sureâ. The project at work was done so Laila had to call her boss. Michael excused himself from the ward to take Lailaâs call. âHello sir, the robot has completed 99.9percent. Itâs okay to be launchedâ. This is great news for Michael and his household.The launch of the rob
Her mother rushed towards her daughter screaming, âHelp! Help!!,Help!!!â. 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.âWhat could have happened to her?â. âWho could have attacked herâ. âThere are bruises and marks all over her bodyâ. 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. Roxanaâs eyes remained closed, she wasnât moving or breathing.The mother tried to revive her daughter but she couldnât. She called the emergency number. For some help to come over and help her. They were taking too long. She canât 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 couldnât wait for the arrival of the emergency services. She drove her daughter to a nearby hospital.The manner at which she d
âOk sir,âThe chauffeur replied. He didnât know the actual car his boss was pointing at. He only drove off towards the outside. Michael didnât raise his head. He was still dialing Roxanaâs phone number.The chauffeur was still looking around but didnât know where he was actually driving to. And who exactly he was chasing. Roxanaâs number went through and she picked the phone. âHello Michael, what is wrong?â. âRosie, I am sorry, I have been so busy I havenât eaten since. Where are you?âMichael said.âHmm, ok, if that is it. I am at work packing up to leaveâRoxana replied. âOkay, wait. I will be there soonâHe uttered. Michael ends the call.âDrive to Roxanaâs store. Donât chase the car anymore. Tomorrow is another day for thatâHe uttered. Thatâs 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 Roxanaâs 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 didnât. 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. âWhat did I just see?â. âHow can her boss be having romance at work in his office?â. âWhat if she wasnât in the seat and Roxana stormed the office?â. âIs her boss really having a double affair after proposing publicly to Roxana?â. Those were the questions going on in Lailaâs head.She just couldnât fathom what exactly happened. She stared at the bare floor. âI donât think he can have time for me now, I should visit the cafeteria to have lunchâ. 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.âWho is that?âGrace queried. âRelax, I donât care who was there. I love you, honeypot, and that
