Saul got so furious that he immediately pushed forward towards Tullah, his thick steps made Tullah so afraid.
"Saul please don't, please." He grabbed Tullah by the wrist and drew her away from the wall with force which got her landed to the floor in no time. "How dare you? Did you bite my lips for kissing you? Now I will show you the real punishment" He bent over and slapped Tullah so hard on the face that she screamed in pain. "What the fuck…." Saul cursed Saul stared furiously at Tullah for a long time before approaching her in a rush, he took hold of her wrist and dragged her up, along to the basement. "Saul, please let go of my hands" Tullah let out as she was forcefully dragged away. She already knew this was it, Saul was used to locking her up in the basement for a whole day once she'd done something to him. At the point Tullah was tired of screaming, she knew nothing could stop Saul from locking her up but kept on trying. "Saul, please let go of me!" She let out a whisper but was heard apparently. "Never" Saul had this furious burning in him that one could easily notice just with a glance at him. "I can't continue this way please, I desire to go away from your life, please let go of me" She wiped and toiled while attempting to yank her hand away from Saul's hand. "You are stuck with me Tullah, you and the whole of you, Are mine" He thrust her into the basement room, shut the door lock, and left. Tullah could no longer cry, it wasn't the first time she'd been locked up in the basement but it should be her last. She dabbed away the tears in her eyes and laid quietly on the clothing, wishing that morning would come real quick for a new beginning to start both for her and her baby. ******** Two Years Back. The house was chaotic, with both parents screaming at themselves on top of their voices. Walking into the house, the more she got into the house the closer the noise got. Getting to the living room, there they were yelling at each other in all ways and by the look of the case, they were ready to devour each other any moment from now. She was used to the shouts and quarrels so she walked past them and went up to her room, shut the door, and clicked on the key lock. She lay quietly on her bed without pulling her uniform. The thoughts of Saul filled her mind; she had totally forgotten about the scene she saw going on down there and could no longer think of anything other than Saul. She kept this huge smile smiling on her face as the thoughts of Saul kept her head spinning, in a rash she stood up and went into the bathroom for a shower. Minutes later, as she stepped out of the bathroom, she noticed that the noise from down the stairs was no longer heard. She already knew that they were done with the quarrel so she came out of the bathroom, put on her pajamas, and went back down the stairs to grab something to eat. "Hey, Mom" She greeted as she stepped into the kitchen. Once she noticed her Mom was still making dinner, she had to change her direction so instead she walked over to the refrigerator. Mrs. Naomi Richard is a lady with less morals, or can be defined as an irresponsible Mom, who makes stupid decisions on her own without informing her husband. Mrs. Noah's series of mistakes had caused their daughter to live her life the way she is living now despite all the struggles from his husband to make things right instead it directed things to the worst parts. Mrs. Naomi didn't say a word to her daughter as she continued with the paste she was making. Without minding her Mom after the greeting, she continued her advancement to the fridge where she took a bottle of water before leaving the kitchen. "Hey, Dad" She got into the living room only to find her Dad sitting on the divan with his eyes fixed on the television. Though mainly looking at him, one won't need another to explain the fact that he had his gaze kept on the television with some other things on his mind. Mr. Richard Fax is a man with many principles and has a great parental guidance lead but considering the kind of work he's engaged in, it makes him travel from one place to another which actually explains why he wasn't so part of the daughter's life while she grew up. Making it possible for Mrs. Naomi to be the only parental figure around their daughter which at some point he thought was the best for their daughter but as things got a bit weaser, Mr. Richard was forced to quit his job for reasons best known to him and his employers. After he had lost his job, he slowly became a house husband while his wife became the breadwinner, and then he could see how irresponsible his wife had been towards their daughter, Tullah. Mrs. Naomi being the vicious kind of a person, took the opportunity to turn her husband into a slave but as nature may have it, Mr. Richard, who is more learned than his wife, got his ways of putting her back to her place through what turned out to be the hardest tasks in his life. Mr. & Mrs Richard Fax were once a lovable couple that ultimately everyone in the neighborhood admired a lot, with their little child Tullah who was loved by all. Slowly everything became a dream to the little Tullah as she watched her parents turn from the sweet couples to acting violently towards each other. She pushed to the limit as a kid to get both parent's attention back to her life but they got so involved in themselves fighting and quarreling rather than having to look after her as a kid. With everything that's been transpiring, Tullah was left to grow up on her own, making her own decisions without having a look sideways or anyone to direct her. Before Mr. & Mrs. Richard could get what was going on in Tullah's life, she was already way out of their league. She could no longer be controlled or rather she no longer wanted to be controlled, told what to do or anyone interfering in her life matters. Mr. Richard felt so bad that he tried more to get into check with his daughter but instead, Tullah made him realize more than he had known. "Tullah you are not allowed to leave the house, you are grounded for two weeks. With no phone, no internet connections on your laptop, I hope that's clear?" Thinking stuff like this could hold his daughter down but instead, it made her show him parts that he had never imagined to witness in his daughter's life. "Screw you Dad" Tullah ran out of the house and God knows where. She stayed hidden for four days and the police almost got involved in search of her without the parents knowing that she had gone to stay with her college boyfriend Saul whom they know nothing about. Tullah came back when she thought it was time for her to get back. "Oh My baby, where have you been?" Mrs. Naomi, who had been worried sick, dragged Tullah into a hug once she saw her step into the house. "Where the hell have you been, Young lady?" Mr. Richard's chilled voice screamed as Tullah took steps backward. "Am I welcome or should I return to where I'm coming from?" Tullah boldly asked with her gaze fixed straight into her father's eyes. "Let her be Richard '' Mrs. Naomi screamed back at her husband as Tullah walked away from them leaving them alone to argue on her behalf, went upstairs into her room, and shut the door lock. From her room she could hear her both parents quarreling over her, it made her feel bad in a way but couldn't do anything about it so instead she laid on her mattress and wished everything could stop before she knew what was going on, Tullah was already fast asleep.Waking up to the brightness of the sun, shielding its way into the comfort of the room, lighting up the space, made the sleeping beauty realize that it was morning.Tullah yawned her way out of bed, she was already used to going to school late so she didn't bother checking the time instead she walked lazily into the bathroom, washed herself up, and got dressed for school.Aside from the fact that Tullah's Mom, Mrs. Naomi is a vicious woman, she never fails to make breakfast and dinner for the family. That should be more reasons why Mr. Richard has refused to divorce her yet.Tullah made her way down the stairs and to the dining only to find her Mom setting the table as usual."Good morning" Tullah greeted her without taking a glance at her Mom and also wasn't expecting a return to her greeting which she never got like always. She sat on the table and waited for her breakfast to be served while she scanned the whole room in search of her father, only to find him sitting at his favorite
"Tullah, get down here now" Mrs. Naomi screamed right through the living room, where Mr. Richard was also sitting while they waited for Tullah to join them, Noami walked over to the kitchen counter where her bag was and took out a big brown envelope that contains some papers which are yet to be reviewed.Tullah matched down to the living room only to find both her parents with her Dad sitting while her mom stood right next to the television, one looking at their mean faces could obviously see the pressure between them. She smiled awkwardly at them before taking a seat next to her Dad. She waited for her mom to break the news because she had always been the one doing that ever since her Dad lost his job."We are getting a divorce" Mrs. Naomi let out without a break of an eye, she threw the envelope over to the table for Tullah and her husband to have a look."What??. I mean, you didn't discuss this with me first, why?" Mr. Richard broke out angrily, he stood to his feet and took the en
Mr. Richard was still in a calm state, as they waited for Tullah to get down either with her luggage or without them. She was the one left to make her choice if she was going with Naomi, her mom or staying with her dad, Richard. Time flew as Tullah came down with a suitcase, filled with her clothes. Naomi stood up with a firm smile toying on her lips as she saw Tullah approaching, she at that point thought Tullah was going with her. She walked up to Tullah and extended her hands to help her carry her luggages but instead Tullah drew her hand backwards and walked past her leaving her to mourn her own shock. Surprisingly, on seeing this, Mr. Richard had some unusual thoughts that her daughter might want to relocate to somewhere else without her mother, just the two of them. He smiled sheepishly at himself as Tullah approached him. "So here is my decision, since you both have agreed to have a divorce without my permission, I will also love to sign a dissertation paper. I would love to
Four Months Later. "Baby, Hurry up, Let's go" Saul screamed towards Tullah's direction just about time, he heard the bedroom door open and slammed shut slowly as the footsteps approached him. He stood at a place with his eyes all over the lady that was standing right in his face. He stared blindly at Tullah as he couldn't place the words together. Tullah walked over to Saul in a black high heels and a perfect peach pink short dress, which showed off her beautiful legs and hips. "Bea am done already, how do I look?" Tullah kept smiling even after noticing the sudden pause on her boyfriend. She was happy to have pulled that kind of impression off him. Saul walked slowly towards his girl, slided his hand mindfully round her thin waist and pulled her hard to his chest. He kissed her neck, up to her cheek, to her forehead and then down to her lips. "Bea stop, you will ruin my makeup" Tullah giggled as she moved her face away from him. "Though you know we are going to be late?" She remin
Things fell into place as Tullah and Saul had proved to themselves how good they were with each other. Tullah couldn't believe she could live in peace and happiness for the past few months now, ever since she left her parents, at first she thought it was going to be hard, it could have been her worst regret but with Saul, it hit to her head as a realization that her parents weren't her happiness after all. ******* It's been four months now, since Mr. & Mrs. Richard Fax last saw their daughter. Considering the incident that had occurred last at their home which sent Tullah packing out of their house with or without their consent. Mr. Richard has always looked forward to meeting his daughter again but she never came through. "What do you have to say? Are you happy now?" Mr. Richard had asked his wife immediately that Tullah had left home. There was grave silence between the couple, Mrs. Noami never knew that there would be a day she regrets her mistake. She was so shocked at how thing
"Omah you don't get it, He has been a nice guy ever since the day I left my home to be with him" Tullah tried to explain as she was putting out the cookies she had been on before Omah brought up the topic again. "Bea, I am not saying Saul is not a nice guy, I mean it's not like he would want to exchange you for anything. I just wish you see my side on this, He loves you, Yes but still I wish the love also applies to him letting you live your life the way you wish to" Omah has always had a tensed atmosphere every time she's in same space with Saul which made her very mindful and conscious of him, his attitude his selfish and controlling mind. Tullah couldn't see Saul from Omah's perspective which makes them argue anytime Omah brings up the topic of how selfish and controlling she thinks Saul is. She's in love and would never want to think that Saul in any way wouldn't do everything right for her. "Omah am happy with Saul, With the way things are right now and I won't want to destroy
Ends Of Flashback. It's been two years since Tullah left home to be with Saul, who has been nothing but a shoulder to lean on for Tullah. They both showed how compatible they could be together, with Saul making all the provisions just for Tullah to be comfortable and Tullah has held to Saul's words about not getting a job or associating with people. "Hello pretty lady" Tullah greeted as Omah walked right behind her into the kitchen where she was busy making dinner for the night. Omah always tries to find a way to make Tullah realize that she has just been wasting her years with Saul. The topic kept on bringing little issues between her and Tullah but that was until Saul barged in on them while Omah was busy bad mouthing him and telling Tullah things that made him angry. "So why are you guys not married yet? If he loves you so much then he should make you his wife" Omah was beginning to find it creepy how Saul has always been a gentleman or has always acted like a gentleman. She doe
Tullah stood up gently away from Saul's body but was dragged back down into his arms in a rash which got her body crashing into Saul's. She looked over at him with her eyes wide open, Only to see that Saul was actually not concerned about what just happened; he only had his eyes glued to her body.Saul moved his hands all around Tullah's body as she was sitting right there on his lap. He kissed the top of her shoulders, her back and up to her neck. He sucked slowly at her ear just as Tullah left out a little moan. He pushed Tullah out of his arm suddenly and got up, he walked over to the wardrobe where he stood off his shirt alongside with the belt on his pants.Tullah stood there surprisingly as she watched Saul undress, she couldn't say what was going on with him though mainly looking at him, one could tell how furious he was. "Bea what's the problem? You look furious" She felt the need to do something, to make Saul happy has been what she has lived for these past years."How dare O
Mike sat on the edge of the old worn-out couch, he fingers furiously twinning together. He glanced at Velerio, who stood by the window, looking out into the bright morning sunset. The office had this unsettling air as the tension grew the more.Mike and Velerio have been friends for over the years now, navigating the ups and downs of life with the kind of easy that only a deep understanding could bring most especially when it comes to Velerio, the Ahpla and his problems.There was a tension simmering beneath the surface, which both of them had acknowledged."Valerio, you know we need to talk about this" Mike finally said as he raised his head up to face his Ahpla with his gray eyes clouded with frustration.Valerio signed knowing exactly what he meant. "Mike I don't think there is anything to talk about" He turned away from the window and walked over to his desk where he stood right beside the table with his glare fixed on Mike.Mike took a deep breath struggling to keep his voice cal
Name your price. "Valantino busted out quietly, his cold voice made Alice snapped out of her thoughts to look into the daring green eyes that seeked a quick response from her.Like who the hell is this guy?Alice Greenwood had earlier walked into the restaurant with her shoulders straight, chin and elbows up in an observation mood.Alice was dressed to kill, with her expensive faux jacket, the five inches heel she wore made her stand out from any normal woman in the restaurant was. The short sleeveless gown did nothing but to highlight how good she would be if she was a model. The gown was glued to the body like it's part of her. To cut the story short, Alice was beautiful and she knew it and argued herself along with the charisma that came with looking so endearing. Alice stood tall, as her eyes scanned over the place, glimpsing to where she would find her new client , she got overwhelmed just to figure out that she would do better on her own since her companion was yet to dock. Eve
The door was banged open only just for a tiny but classic creature to apprehend into the room, Theo who was right at the door became curious about the lady" Who the hell is she?"Theo thought to himself. "Hello, Miss Alice Greenhood" A tiny and quiet voice was heard, Alice froze at the sound of the voice, How would she ever forget this voice "How dare this witch step her feet into my mom's ward and say my name.?" she walked over to Alice like she was here for her."Longest time, daughter of a mere dumb mistress" Alice looked over with a spark in her eye, she felt so angered."Hello, to you too Mrs. Rita Goerge, I can't believe you look worse than the last time I saw you and when was that again.?"Alice complimented her with a smile toying on her lips which displayed disgust and anger. The smile went off Rita's face as soon as Alice replied to her in such a rude tone on her voice and, was she supposed to say 'thank you' for the painful compliment she had given her or what."I guess you
STILL ON GEORGE'S POV.Remembering the past between I and Jamie made me regret what I did and what I have done. I know they say the did has already been done and tgere is no going back, I have always wished she could give me a chance to correct my mistake. Though it makes me happy most times to know that I have a daughter and am sure Jamie won't allow it not believe me but I know how much I wish to spend time with her, cherish her and make her feel a fathers love. Rita has always been my problem, ever since she got herself engaged with my business, it only made me discipise her more than anything. I have always wanted what was best for Jamie but Rita was always in the way and me being a selfish person who only cares about money couldn't bare losing Rita for some mere love so I don't engage myself on anything concerning Rita martreating Jamie even up till date.When I noticed Jamie had chosen a tougher part of fighting up against Rita, I got sacred and knew that at this point I needed
"Don't you think it's time you wake up? Am weak, I need to run around. WAKE UP BRENDA..!!!!!!" Brenda sluggishly turn over to a side."I need to get more sleep, go away" Brenda's sleepy voice yawned.Just as she was ready to get back to sleep, a loud alarm bell rang into her ear which made her quickly open her eyes. She jumped up from her bed with her heart racing so fast, wiped her eyes and tried calming herself down after realizing it was just a dream. She layed back on her bed and shut her eyes to help her racing heart stop."Get up Brenda" She heard a tiny voice speak in her head. This time around it sounded so real to her as she flipped her eyes open. She jumped away quickly from her bed and walked over to the mirror where she stood for a few minutes with her eyes closed."Brenda, it's me" "Ariya?""Is that my name? It sounds cute, I like it" Ariya replied in a faint tone."Arrrhhhhhhhh……….. Mom.. Ariya is here" Brenda screamed as she raced herself down the stairs to the kitchen
The sun was so harsh that it could tear up someone's skin. The roads were quite busy as usual not minding the sun and it's unfriendliness towards the earth.Alice drove straight back to the hospital, she for sometime thought that she had forgotten something but didn't know what that was so she only proceeded with her push to the hospital. Getting there she went straight to her mom's ward, opened the portico and entered only to find the place empty. She couldn't get what was going on, she rushed out and went consecutive to the place one of the nurses stood" Hello, pls do you know the where about of the woman that was in this ward?" she pointed at the ward door, the nurse shook her head to the left and right in response to her question. She went straight to the doctors office only to discover that her mom has been discharged by some kind of people."But why did you let them take my mom?"She couldn't help but yell at the doctor."She personally agreed to go with them. At first I didn't h
Valantino didn't really know what to say to his parents with the impression they are exhibiting but Alice knowing her job and what she is been paid for actually chiped in as soon as he needed her help."I was really the one that argued him not to disclose me yet cause it took me time to accept the fact that I was dating someone as influenced and sweet like him, Am so sorry Ma."Alice said looking at valantino with so much passion written all over her face. Valantino's mom raise an eyebrow at Alice and paused while staring at her.Alice didn't really realize why she was getting those hurtful stares "Did I say something.?" Alice thought to herself then turned to fully face Mrs frost, not until she traced back to the moment when she first entered the place, Mrs frost specifically asked Alice to address her as Annabelle not Ma or Mrs frost."Am so sorry Annabelle, I guess it skipped my mind once again"She grilled at Mrs frost and continued."Mrs Annabelle I didn't know you guys were this g
Mike sat on the edge of the old worn-out couch, he fingers furiously twinning together. He glanced at Velerio, who stood by the window, looking out into the bright morning sunset.

"What in the world has gone wrong this time around?"Alice was already well dressed so she freaked out to Valentino's house. On getting there she went into the room like she owned the place, the house was dead silent, and Alice needed to move into the living room to know what was going on. "Hey babe" Alice went over to where Valentino sat and side-hugged him as she sat alongside "What's going on, why is nobody talking? And babe why are you suddenly back from the hospital?" Alice looked over to her contracted mother-in-law."Mom?""Alice, I think you should come upstairs with me so we can talk"Valentino dragged Alice out of the living room. Alice's eyes were all over just until her eyes settled on a lady seated right beside Valentino's dad with a huge smile on her face. Alice stared at her more before she was finally on the stairs, out of the room and the lady also had a firm watch at Alice as well."Drop the act, what's going on?"Alice questioned right before they had entered Valentino
