Episode 5
ANITA'S POVI have just finished watching the news when Anna walked into the house..
"Good afternoon" she greeted heading to her room..
"I just finished watching the news" I said and she stopped immediately and moved closer to me..
"Okay! That's cool but what have that got to do with me?" She shrugged.
"I know you did it" I said with an arched brow..
"Do what?" She blinked her eyes.
"I know you are the one behind Mr.Phillip's death"
"Oh my! What are you saying? I am innocent" she said with a baby face..
"Oh please! Stop your drama..You know you cannot fool me right?" I fired.
She hesitated.
"Okay Mrs investigator! You're right, I killed him"
"I knew it! As if killing him is not enough, you even went ahead to remove his eyes..Isn't that too harsh?"
"Harsh? No it isn't! Those people made me cry a river so it isn't bad if I make them cry out blood" she said without any sign of guilt..
I gave her a hard stare.
" Don't give me that look. It is not as if I am killing innocent people. I am only killing the bad ones" She shrugged.
"What are you turning into? You've succeeded in making that innocent lady a widow"
"Oh come on! Don't have pity on such people and you know what? I'm just coming from there..I went to send my condolences"
Did I just felt excitement in her voice?
"And you are happy right?
"Of course I am! So please don't ruin my happy mode with your lectures" she said, walking briskly to her room..
"Jeez! Why can't she understand that she's gradually turning into a monster all in the name of revenge" I muttered..
Nancy's POVI sat on the chair in my reading room, nervously waiting for the doctor..
I have an appointment with my doctor today, she's supposed to be here any moment from now..
Oh I forgot to introduce myself!
I am Mrs Nancy peters.
My husband, Mr peters is the CEO of peters enterprise and one of the share holders of the popular Don's limited.
We have been married for five years now and yet no issue..
Most of my friends are now mothers of three children while I am still struggling to get one.
I'm tired of this shame and embarrassment!
I will do anything to have my own child. Anything at all!
Just then, I heard a knock on the door..
"Who's there?"
"It's me ma! The doctor is here" One of the maids said..
"Oh! Let her in"
" Yes ma!"
"Please Lord, I want to hear good news today" I silently prayed..
The door cracked open..
I looked up and was surprised to see another doctor.
"Hi! I am Phoebe, your new doctor" The lady said, stepping into the room.
I raised my eyebrows.
"What? What of doctor Angela?" I asked.
"I am sorry but she resigned due to some family issues"
"Huh? But why didn't she inform me about it?"
"I am sorry ma but don't worry about that because i am here now" She said, smiling..
Strange! I spoke with Angela yesterday and she didn't mention anything about resigning.
Anyways, what matters right now is my infertility issues.
"Uhm..can you hear me?" The lady said bringing me out of my thoughts..
"Yeah..yeah..what did you say again?" I asked..
"After going through the scan, I think there's a possibility of you getting pregnant" she said.
I didn't even know when I jumped up to my feet..
"Wh..what? Did I just hear you correctly" I asked with wide opened eyes.
"Yes" she chuckled. "There's a possibility of you getting pregnant"
My joy knew no bounds. I threw my hands open and hugged her in excitement.
"Thank you doctor! Thank you! This is the best news I've ever heard" I said hugging her tightly which made her coughed..
I broke the embrace and let out a nervous cough.
"Sorry..I was just carried away by my happiness" i chuckled.
"It's okay!" She giggled. " I'll have to take my leave now. I have got things to take care of at the hospital"
" Okay. I'll tell my driver to drop you off"
" Oh! No need for that. I came with my car. Thanks"
*****
"Guess what honey?" I asked my husband as I adjust his tie.."What is it? You know I'm not good at guessing" he said..
"Whatever! You're such a kill joy" I frowned and turned my back on him..
"Come on Nancy! Just tell me what it is."
He turned me, to face him.
"The doctor said there's a possibility of me getting pregnant" I excitedly said..
"Okay"
"Okay?? Is that all you can say? Or aren't you happy?" I asked surprised..
"Happy? What's there to be happy about? The doctor did not say you're pregnant, she only said there's a possibility of you getting pregnant"
My heart melted at his response..I couldn't stop my tears from dropping..
"Are you serious right now?"
"Of course I am! Get pregnant first and then you can come for us to celebrate it" he said and walked out with his brief case..
I stood there watching him go..My legs quivered as I slumped down..
M..my own husband doesn't even believe that I can get pregnant again.
What have I done to deserve this?
Why isn't life fair?
I've got all the riches I've ever wished for but still I'm unhappy..
"I want a child! A child!!" I cried breaking the glasses in my room..
I..need..to see the doctor..
"Felicia!!!!!!" I yelled..
After some seconds, she rushed in.
"Ma!!!"
"Get me my phone!"
"Yes ma!!'
After a while, she came in with my phone.
I took it from her..
"What are you still waiting for? Get the hell outta here" I yelled as she quickly ran out..
I dialed the new doctor's number..
"Hello! Good morning ma" her voice popped up..
"Keep your damn greetings to yourself! Meet me now at the popular harmbouger's hotel" I half yelled..
"What?..but"
"Most importantly come with the scan result" I said and cut the call..
I grabbed my car keys and zoomed off..
Doctor Phoebe's POV
I quickly dressed up and rushed to the hotel..
When I got there, there was no sight of her..
Who the hell does this woman thinks she is to order me around?
I came out of the hotel, just then I saw someone waving at me from a car..
I took a proper look at the person..
And guess who it was?
The annoying queen..
I walked up to her..
"Hi!!" I faked a smile..
"Hi! Get into the car" she calmly said and opened the door..
I got in and sat down..
"This is the scan result" I said giving her the result..
"Oh thanks! I'm sorry for the way I spoke to you..I wasn't in my right state of mind" she said..
"It's okay! just as I said earlier,there's a greater possibility of you getting pregnant but your husband will have to come see me for some check up" I replied..
"Okay but is that necessary?"
"Yes it is! Or don't you wanna get pregnant?"
"Of course I do! When is the appointment?"
"6pm tomorrow"
"Okay! He'll be there"
"Cool! Lest I forget, this is a fertility drug - always take it once a day"
"Thanks..I'm so grateful"
"Oh come on! It's nothing"
Nancy's POV A new day has dawned bringing with it dreams and aspirations. I rolled uncomfortably on the bed as I suddenly felt the reflection of the sun rays forcefully making it's way into the room and resting on my face. A loud hiss left my lips as i flipped over to back the sun's reflection, but i could still feel the heat. And angrily, i sat up to behold Andrew. He was standing closed to his wardrobe and fixing up his blue tie. He was already dressed in a black suit, looks like he is getting ready for work. "Hey! Why did you have to open the curtains? Are you blind or what? Can't you see that I am still sleeping?" I fired. " And can't you see that I am dressing up? Why should I care if you are still sleeping? " He snapped and bent down to wear his shoes. I shot daggers at him but decided not to speak further. I won't let him ruin my day. I sat on the bed and quietly watch him do his thing. He ran the comb through his hair and I couldn't ignore the fact that he was indeed han
Andrew's POV After taking a last look at myself at the mirror, I was satisfied with what I saw. My new ash suit fits properly and the white tie gave it a perfect look.I smiled at myself and turned to see Nancy staring at me. "Give me a minute darling. There's something I want to discuss with you" Nancy said.. "What's it? I'm late for work" I said picking up my brief case.. "Uhm..the doctor wants to meet you by 8am today concerning our infertility issues" she stuttered. I paused and turned to her. "What? You're joking right?" "No! I'm not" She maintained a serious face. "What the heck Nancy! Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" I shrieked. "How could I have told you when you came back home late and tired yesterday?" "Look! I'm sorry but I can't do that! I'm already late for work. Ask her set another appointment" "Come on peter! All you have to do is to go see the doctor, it won't even take more than thirty minutes of your time" She insisted. "Is that what you think? Thirt
Peter's POV "I don't give a damn about your opinion! Get the hell outta here and go check if the tires are all okay" I yelled. He quickly opened the door and went out to check the tires. After a while, I heard a strange noise. "Micheal what's wrong?" I asked, worried. "It's nothing sir" He stuttered. I let out a deep sigh of relief. I ran my hand through my hair trying to understand why a stranger would suddenly call me to play such a serious plank on me. As much i tried to see it as a plank, I knew that it was more than that. The caller's voice felt so real, I have to get to the root of this. Michael got into the car, sweating profusely. To my amazement, he pressed a button and the other passenger's door opened. "Why did you open the door" I asked, confused. "Because I asked him to" A lady replied entering into the car. I took a look at my driver who had beads of sweats all over his face and back to the lady who was glaring at me and grinning widely. "Who the hell are you? A
Nina's POV I glanced at him and noticed that he was staring at his hands and legs with a confused look. "You must be wondering why I didn't tie your hands right?" I asked, smiling. "Exactly miss! And that was your biggest mistake" He said and brought out a knife. He quickly ran to me and tried to slit my throat but I managed to dodge and kicked him hard on the stomach.He retraced back while growling in pain. "Okay i must say, i didn't see that coming! But is that all you have got?" I scoffed. "I've got more baby!" He snarled and brought out a gun from his under pants. "Good bye miss" he added and corked the gun.. I quickly flew up and caught hold of the ceiling fan. Before he could realize what just happened, I had yanked the gun off his hands. I back flinged and gave him a blow on the back of his neck which sent him sprawling on the floor. "W..who the heck are you?" He groaned. I chuckled. "I am just a random pretty lady although my fans refers to me as the bloody queen. Isn
Anita's POV Since I got to know Anna, I have never seen her with any man. Who would try to approach a lady who hardly smiles. And those who dared to approach her always leave trembling. At this rate, I fear that she would ever get married or get to experience love. "Why are you so bent on getting revenge and slowly forgetting about yourself, your future. Don't you have plans of getting married?" I asked. "Married?" Anna repeated in disbelief. " I don't think that would ever happen. You know I hate men, they're all deceivers" She answered nonchalantly. I threw my head back in shock. "I know you've got a bad memories about your past relationship with men but trust me, not all men are the same" She kept quiet with her arms folded around her breast region. "Is this about Andrew?" I asked.. She raised her head. "I don't want to talk about it" "But you have to talk about it! How long are you going to bear this pain alone in you? You can't get healed if you don't cry out all the pa
Anna's POV I got to the club which Anita directed me to. The dim light made it hard to see clearly across the other end and the blaring music could deafen a young child. At the other end of the hall, I could see some girls dressed in pants and bra - swaying their buttocks and making out with some guys. I walked up to the bar and sat down on one of the chairs. "What do you want miss?" A guy asked. Looks like he is the bar attender.. "Nothing?" I replied,still running my eyes around the room.. "You can't just come to a club without taking a drink you know?" He insisted.. "He's right! I think you should order a drink" Anita said through the chips.. "Uhm..you can give me any soft drink, I don't want alcohol" I ordered. "Soft drink? Are you a kid?" The guy sneered.. I shot him a deadly stare.. "Just kidding" He said and walked towards the huge fridge. He returned back with a bottle of orange juice and a glass cup in a tray. He gave me a glass of orange juice.. I sat there with
Anna's POV "I'm talking to you bitch!" The goon yelled, I shot him a hard stare. But before I could think of a way to get rid of him and his cohorts, he snatched the glass from my hand and smashed it to the floor. I heard some gasps as all eyes fell on me. "Now that I have broken your glass will you come with me or should I break your bones too?" He asked through gritted teeth. "Geez! Who are those guys? Please don't do anything silly, just ignore them" Anita pleaded through the ear pod. I clenched my fist as I tried to keep my anger under control. That feeling that i hated the most, gushed over my soul- the feeling of helplessness. It has been long I felt this way and I despise it. I let out a deep breath. "I'll try to ignore them but I don't know how long I'll be able to act this cool. I can't promise you that I won't harm them if they persist." I whispered. "Did you just say something?" One of the goons asked.. I looked up with a smirk. "Yeah! I said you guys are noise pollu
Frederick's POV I ran my hand through my hair as many thoughts ran through my mind. If this gets to the media, my reputation will definitely suffer. What the heck have I gotten myself into? I shouldn't have gotten drunk. Shit! I will never get drunk ever again. I was still lost in thoughts when someone suddenly burst out into a loud laughter. I looked up to see the weird lady, laughing and clapping her hand in excitement. I blinked my eyes, wondering what is happening. I don't remember saying a joke, so what exactly is funny? "How is my acting skill? I think I have really improved." She laughed harder. "You should see your face right now, you look like a child whose lollipop was snatched away" I stood up abruptly from the bed wearing a confused look. "Acting? What do you mean by that?" "From what I can remember, acting does not have any other meaning or does it?" She sneered. "Wait. If I'm not mistaken, are you trying to say that - I didn't rape you. That everything was just an
Anna's POVMy head snapped back to bravely glare at him. He seemed amused and unfazed and one corner of his mouth lifted up. I loathed how he could make my stomach flip even with the slightest move he made. It was so infuriating."Can you stop playing games with me? I don't have time for all this, just let me go" I spat with much venom I could gather."Are you sure you want that?" His enchanting husky voice sounded closer as he took a few more steps. "My dear Anna" He whispered in my ear- his breath sending shivers down my spine.He got closer and forced my back against the glass windows. I tried to move away but he reached out and flattened both of his palms against the glass, imprisoning me between his hands. " No matter what you do Anna, I don't want to ever let you go" He whispered."Go and say that to Jessica" I snarled.He paused. "Are you jealous?""Why would I be jealous? I don't even like you " I challenged. I hoped he believed it because that sounded fake even to my own ears
Anna's POVMy eyes widened in shock to see Frederick staring at me with anger clearly written on his face. What the heck is he doing here?"Frederick? Why are you here?" I finally managed to ask."Why? Are you not happy to see me or am I disrupting something?" Frederick said, glaring at Derrick." Do you know this guy? " Derrick asked, confused.I swallowed hard. " Uhm... He is..just a.." Before I could complete my sentence, Frederick held unto my hand and dragged me up. " Come with me, we have to talk "I jerked my hand off his. "No. I don't want to talk to you" I fired. But he insisted and held unto my hand again."Come with me willingly or I will force you to" Frederick commanded. I stared at him and he gazed steadily back.What does he take me as? After all that had happened, he still had the guts to show up here and force me to go with him. Do I look like a joke?I flinched back when Derrick suddenly dragged me away from Frederick. Before Frederick could do anything, Derrick hel
Anna's POVI tossed and turned in bed, tired of hearing the chirping of the birds.As i turned to lay on my side, the blinding rays of the sun shot through the shades, hitting me right on the eye. Squinting, I stretched before pulling the duvet off my body.Next, I slipped my feet into my flops beside the bed, walked towards the window and pulled the shades open, taking in the sweet fragrance of the breeze that blew across.At that moment, I remembered that I was supposed to have a meeting with Derrick by 9am. I let out a gasp as my eyes fell on the wall clock, it was 8: 30 am already.I have worked with Derrick and one of the mistakes he would never tolerate is keeping him waiting or coming late to his meetings. He had once shot his business partner in the heart for keeping him waiting during one of their business meeting
Martin's POV"Dad" Fredrick called out as soon as I entered his room." What is going on? I just saw Anna leaving your room. What the hell is she doing here? And what did you say to Jessica? "" Anna was drunk yesterday and had a quarrel with her sister. She asked me to take her in and I couldn't say no"" Are you kidding me? But I told you to stay away from her? " I almost yelled." Yes dad. But unfortunately my heart doesn't agree with that" he fired. " Look dad, I have always agreed to whatever you ask me to but I can't on this one. I love Anna and will do anything to make her mine even if it involves bearing your wrath.""What?"" Yes. what do I have to do for you to change your mind" he said, solemnly." Are you saying, I should punish you. And you will gladl
Anita's POVI was seated on the couch, getting a good massage from one of the helpers when the door cracked open to reveal Anna."Good morning Miss Anna" The helpers chorused on seeing her." Keep your silly greetings to yourselves" She bit out, walking to her room.Totally ignoring my presence.What could be wrong?"Don't mind her, I am sure someone made her angry" I said to the maids who were also surprised with her sudden outburst." We understand"I forced a smile and sauntered over to Anna's room.I knocked on the door and pushed it open.She was walking to and fro the room, restlessly."Anna, what's wrong? You were supposed to be in Frederick's house right? "" Yes. But Frederick doesn't want me there" she bit out." What do you mean by that? " I asked, confused." His fiancee visited and guess what? he asked me to go hide" she replied. "Jeez! Do I look like some
Frederick's POVJust then, we heard a knock on the door." Frederick are you there?"Jessica!I stood up abruptly.Holy moly! What the hell is she doing here and why does she have to come here today?" Frederick" Jessica called out again with a knock on the door.I looked at Anna who was still seated on the bed unperturbed."It's Jessica" I whispered, stating the obvious." Yeah I know. What about it? " She shrugged."What are we going to do? I don't want her to cause a scene" I whispered." Excuse me! Are you saying I should go and hide or something? " She arched her brows." Yes"" What? No! I won't do that" she exclaimed."Please. It's just for a while" i begged.I know Jessica will definitely create a scene if she meets Anna in my room. And I don't want dad to find out about this, he would feel bad." No! Why should I do that? We are not doing
ANNA's POVPheew! What a narrow escape!I almost got kissed by Frederick..What an awkward moment! Thank goodness I didn't freak out..Before he gets back, I have to do what I came for..I opened the door and tiptoed out, carefully avoiding the CCTV..I got to Mr Martin's study room..Luckily, it was opened..I got in and carefully implanted the chip under his reading table..I came out and head back to the room, I gently opened the door and tiptoed in.."Where are you coming from?" A familiar voice asked making me flinch back in shock..Frederick!!I closed the door and faced him.."You're here?" I giggled."Where are you coming from? And why are you acting in a way that looks suspicious?" Frederick asked with a furrowed brow..Jeez!I have to think of a lie.."I...I.. went to get a glass of water" I stuttered." What? But you asked me to
Frederick's POV"Who the hell do you think you are to..?" One of them tried to say but was cut off by Anna.."You don't talk when Anna is talking" she yelled and landed a hard slap across his face..Jeez! Has she lost her mind?What the hell does she think she's doing?They're not gonna spare her.."How dare you?" The guy yelled,charging towards Anna..I quickly got up and stood in front of her.."Please don't hurt her? You can do anything you want with me but please let her go" I pleaded.."What are you doing?" She asked."I'm trying to save your ass..do you know who this men are?" I whispered angrily.."Please I'm really sorry for what she did..please forgive her" I said to the angry looking men."Okay.. I will forgive her on one condition, she has to kneel down and apologize" their boss sneered and they all burs
The attack Frederick's POVI got to the club and as usual it was loud and booming with music.Strippers and bouncers are seen carrying out their duties..I don't fancy clubs but I do come here once in a while, most especially when I'm feeling down..I walked to the end of the club and sat down.."Hi handsome" one of the strippers softly said,bringing out her tongue and rolling her eyes lustfully.."Just fvck off" I rudely said as she adjusted back,possibly shocked at my outburst..If only Anna will look at me the way this ladies are admiring me, I'll be the happiest person on earth..In no time, Patrick arrived.."Hey bro!" He greeted as we shook hands with a slight hug..I ordered some drinks as we chatted and laughed.."Are you telling me she turned down the almighty frederick ?" Patrick jeered."Come on bro! I am being
