The car came to a halt in front of Willow's house. She paid the cab man immediately. She came down from the car and walked inside the house. There she met her bestie Mira sitting on the couch, playing a game on her phone.“Oh!! You came back so early” Mira said as she dropped her phone and looked at Willow who was in tears.“Willow what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Mira asked as she stood up and walked towards her. She couldn’t even say a word. All she could do was cry.“Best” Mira called out worriedly. She hugged her tight as they both cried on each other’s shoulder.After what seems like eternity, Mira was able to calm Willow down. “ The two of us are crazy, you know right?” Mira sniffed, smiling as she wiped her tears. She pulled away from the hug and wiped Willow's tears. She held her hands and helped her sit on the couch.“What happened? I thought you were going to see Alfred?” Mira asked worriedly and she nodded and sniffed.“ Then what happened? Why did you come home crying?”
It was 2pm already and Alfred was supposed to have a meeting with the investors but he was just too lost in thoughts to know what time it was.Suddenly, he heard a knock on his door and he raised up his head as whoever knocked on the door walked in.It was Andrew again. “What do you want?” Alfred asked coldly as he dropped his mom’s picture back from where he took it.“Sir, you have a meeting by 2pm. It’s 2:10pm already. The investors are already waiting “ he said and Alfred nodded in response.“I’ll be there in a jiffy. You can go” he said as he picked up his phone from on top of his desk and suddenly he heard a loud thud. It was Andrew, lying on the ground unconscious.“Oh my goodness!! Andrew “ Alfred yelled and then picked up his phone and called the secretary.“Call the ambulance ““Andrew, Andrew, please open your eyes” Alfred yelled and suddenly he felt a warm liquid slide down his cheeks. He was in tears.************************************************************“Doctor,
I didn’t get to thank you the other day for saving my life. Thank you and I feel indebted to you” Lisa smiled and Andrew placed his hands on top of hers saying it’s nothing.Immediately, his hands came in touch with that of Lisa he felt this spark he hasn’t felt for the past 5yrs in his life. Those feelings, they were back. He felt scared immediately.“Are you alright” Lisa asked as she stared at Andrew whose facial expression was different from a while just now.“Yes… yes I’m fine” Andrew swallowed hard and smiled at Lisa. Lisa nodded and stared at Andrew's hands which were on top hers.“Oh sorry,!” Andrew said and quickly removed the hands from on top of hers..Lisa smiled and stood up.” I’ll be taking my leave now” she said and exited the room leaving Andrew in a deep thought.******************************************************Mr Hector opened the door to the room he had locked up Ria’s mother, Stella. The room was so dark that he couldn’t even see her in the room.He switche
Lisa, who was standing staring at Ria, felt uncomfortable by her looks. She swallowed hard.“Mr Alfred said you should be in his room in the next 20 minutes” Ria said and with that he left. Lisa swallowed hard and walked towards her wardrobe then put on her clothes.Alfred wants her in the room in the next 20 minutes, thought today was gonna be any better but I guess I was wrong.She walked towards her standing mirror and picked up her lotion then applied on her body. She then walked towards her wardrobe and picked up a blue gown, and then put it on. After she had gotten ready it was already 18minutes. She just has two minutes left to get to his room.She walked out of her room and walked towards his room. She planted a soft knock on the door and Alfred muttered in a cold tone “Come in” she felt a cold shiver run down her legs at the sound of his voice.“Calm down Lisa , calm down “ she took a deep breath as she finally opened the door and walked in. There she met Alfred sitting on hi
I promise you Alfred,I’ll make sure you regret everything you’ve done to me today. I’ll make you pay” she muttered as she closed her eyes and then drifted to sleep.Next DayLisa had woken up feeling so weak and hungry. She hadn’t eaten last night before she slept. Her body still hurts from yesterday but she was feeling a little bit better than yesterday.She stood up from the bed and managed to walk inside the bathroom because her legs were hurting. She took a long bath then came out of the bathroom with a towel tied around her chest. She stood in front of the dressing mirror as she allowed the towel to fall freely from her chest.She stared at the sores on her body and she swallowed hard. They hurt so much and we’re so visible. She sighed softly and walked towards the wardrobe, picked up a big sleeve and a baggy trousers that could cover her body very well. They were still marks on her face, she knew she wouldn't be able to cover that too but she used her hair to cover a part of it.
Chapter 23Everything you need is in the freezer” Ria said as she watched Lisa walk towards the freezer and bring out everything she will be needing to cook the food.Ria sat down and watched her with keen interest. She watched as she prepared everything with no mistake like she was a professional in it.“Don’t be surprised I’m cooking. I’m a good cook In fact a 5 star chef” Lisa teased making Ria laugh. Lisa turned to Ria who was laughing, she was so surprised seeing her laugh and she must confess laughing looks good on her. She’s so beautiful.Lisa looked away and continued what she was doing.“A five star chef. I think that should be your new name” a voice said from behind and Lisa smiled knowing fully well it was Andrew’s voice. “Good morning sir” Ria said and quickly stood up“It’s alright you can sit” Andrew smiled at her as she walked towards Lisa. “Good morning sir” Lisa said and flashed him a charming smile , this made Andrew’s heart leap in joy. “I think you should quit
Chapter 24I was about to come to your room” Andrew said and then she saw her eyes filled with so much tears.“Lisa” Andrew called out looking worried.“Andrew” Lisa called and hugged him so tight.Immediately she hugged him, suddenly she heard footsteps from behind but suddenly the footsteps stopped. “Thank you. The pleasure is all mine. It’s nice doing business with you” the voice said. It was Alfred and he was on a phone call which he just ended.They pulled away from the hug and then turned to look only to see Alfred standing at the stairs with his phone in his hands.He was so engrossed in whatever he was doing on his phone. “Sir, I bought it already and it’s in your study room” a body guard said and Alfred raised up his head and nodded slightly.He placed his phone inside his pocket and turned around only to see Lisa and Andrew staring at him like they were in shock seeing him.He wondered why? But quickly he waved the thought away. “Welcome Alfred “ Andrew said as he moved aw
Chapter 25The coffee, the cof…fee” he muttered “What happened to the coffee?” Andrew asked not knowing what he was talking about.“It was poisoned “ he finally said and suddenly blood started gushing out of his mouth.“Poisoned?” Andrew muttered in shock and before he could say anything else he saw blood gushing out of his mouth. And suddenly he lost consciousness.*************************************************************************************** “Doctor, how's he?” Andrew asked worriedly.“He’s gonna be just fine. It will take time for the poison to dissolve fully. He’s going to be alright. Prescribed some drugs and gave him some injections too” the doctor said and Andrew nodded as he stared at Alfred who was lying unconscious on the bed looking as pale as ever.“This was the first time in how many years he has seen Alfred this way” he thought as he felt tears slide down his cheeks.He felt his heart break into pieces as he stared at him in his current state.He wondered w
