This was the first time Ana called Christy, 'Sis' To be honest Christy was a little flattered, she never knew a day would come when Ana will refer to her as a sister, she has always refused to acknowledge her as sister and has always treated her like a stranger. But she refused to be fooled by her sudden change of heart.
Christy pushed her hands away from her arms, keeping a safe distance from her. " Don't ever call me 'sis', I am not your so call sister, you have always treated me as an outsider. Mother was part owner of what your father is holding on to but he did think about that before sending me away for a crime committed by this sex pervert,"" Sis, I am begging you! Don't let me marry Willy, Ok? You also know that he is a s****l pervert, given what he did to you in your high school days, he is so horrible and now he is a disabled man. If you ask me to marry him, you are simply going to watch me die slowly. We are siblings. Please give me a break, will you?"When I heard Christy was in pain and had been taken to the hospital, I became worried immediately, my father was in the office and would notice that I am worried, so I needed to hold it in to prevent him from finding out what the matter was but I sent a message to Zack to go check and find out what the issues were and I sat there praying that the old man leaves me alone so that I can go to see my wife. I wonder what might be the cause of her pain and sickness that required her to be rushed to the hospital.I stay put on my seat, and pretends to listen to my father as he goes on with his idea of the strategy he wants us to use so that I will come out the winner of the Governorship election. I continue to nod my head like I was listening to everything he was saying while I prayed that he just leave me alone but he seems not to notice that my contribution to what he was saying was not flowing well.He stayed with me for more than Forty minutes and when he believe
" Is she okay?" I asked him." calm down, I know how you feel, yo...." " What do you mean I should calm down, that is the only thing you have been telling me. If the woman you love is in that position would you be acting so sophisticated?" He yelled at him. I was not ready to listen to some crap that he was saying all I wanted was to know if my woman was okay and out of danger" Can you step into my office for a while?" The doctor said to me, provoking me more, Zack placed his hands on my shoulder and squeeze it gently. I stole a glance at him. I turn to the doctor, " Lead the way"I said grudgingly and watch him walk away. I followed behind him but not without stealing a glance at Christy from the door.My heart tightened inside my chest at the sight of her, she looks pale and so lifeless. It broke my heart so much to know it was my fault, it was all my fault, we should have stayed indoors all day instead of going shopping, if we had no
The doctor sighed and looked away like he couldn't get himself to tell me what the matter was, but he still had to do his job, no matter how hard it was.Anyone that saw me at that time would think I was relaxed about whatever news the doctor was going to tell me. I was putting on an act of being unconcerned and untouched it was a mere act that was helping me put myself together so I wouldn't cause chaos or havoc. But deep in my heart, I was scared, I was worried, and I was trembling inside with fear.The fear of the unknown, the fear of something worse, that fear tore me apart from my inside while I held a grip of myself outwardly." I am sorry, Master James but you lost a child," The doctor, finally voiced out. I stare at him numb and perplexed. His words sounded alien and false. Zack and the doctor stared at me hoping for a reaction but I could not react when it felt like my heart was not beating anymore inside me." Tony.." Zack called out but
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Christy, slowly opened her eyes, she wasn't fully aware of her surroundings, and when she finally opened her eyes she could only see the white ceiling. Her first reaction was, 'Am I dead? Am I in heaven?'She was surrounded by white and instantly thought it was paradise as described in the Bible.Before Christy could have a chance to speak someone suddenly rushed over to her, " Oh Christy...you finally woke up, you gave everyone a scare, girl," Tonia cried.Christy tried to speak but she could not. She tried to gather her thoughts and cleared her throat and asked, " Tonia, where am I? Did you die too? Tonia was shocked by her words. Tears started streaming down her cheek, she blinks twice as if she didn't understand what she was saying." Stop saying such rubbish, Christy, you are not dead," Tony's voice came from beside her, Christy turns her head to look at him, he was holding her
I stare at Christy who from the look of it was not aware that she was pregnant, how will I tell her what happened without hurting her? Where do I start? My heart broke within me when I saw how happy she looked when she got the news that she was pregnant. Telling her that the baby was no more was going to break her completely. Though we never planned on starting a family soon, I would have been the happiest parent on earth had we not lost the baby before we got to know of its existence, it was very heartbroken for me because I was not able to protect both the child and Christy " I am sorry, Christy," I mumbled while holding her in a hug, while tears flow freely from my eyes. I have failed her." What are you sorry about? You don't want the child," Christy still oblivious to what happened asks Tony bewildered to see him crying, is he going to divorce her for getting pregnant without his consent? She never thought she could become pregnant but it just came and she wo
"No this can't be happening,?" Tears rolled down Christy's eyes as she watched Tony on the television and Marie stands beside him, holding him in his arms while he was stepping into the previous office of the Governor's office which happened to be his present office. Reporters were swarming around them wanting to get their hands on information to print, Tony seem to be comfortable having her by his side.That can't be my husband with Marie holding onto his arms, no this can not be, he told me, she was not worth being his woman, so why then is she by his side, he has always refused to make known to the world that she was his wife. He always comes up with one reason or another which I accept for being the dutiful wife that I was. I didn't want him to see me as an unreasonable wife, I have always supported him in every decision he comes up with. How could he betray her trust and take Marie out to the public, what does he want the viewer to think of this open display by the two
I waited as he noisily entered the living room and banged the door shut, he might be walking steady steps but I know he was drunk. I wonder where he was coming from this late and drunk. He has always been somber and disciple, not someone to get drunk, and still drives.I turned around and my heart skipped a bit as I stare at the man I married, this was not the person I had gotten married to, Tony was the definition of cold on the outside and gentle on the inside and that was the reason I fell in love with him." Christy," My name rolled out from his mouth huskily but I am not going to fall for that, I won't let him deceive me again, my mind was made up, and I won't be his plaything again, I need to stand my ground." Why are you sitting in the living room and not in the bedroom, are you waiting up for me?" He asked.I don't know if he is asking because he cared for me or because I was not in the usual spot waiting for him in my sexy nightgown or n
" Leave me alone," I whispered as tears pour down like a river from my eyes, he released his grip and let me go breathing heavily.I lay on the ground crying and I try to breathe as quickly as I could, I didn't know how I was feeling anymore, my body was numb.I couldn't recognize the man standing before me anymore, he has changed into a different person, this was someone I fell in love thinking he was a changed man and he was not going to break my heart but he was doing exactly what I initially feared he would do to me, he deceived me that Marie was not in the league of women he would consider his woman but now he was being seen in every social media with her. Tony turned into a monster, a cheat, a liar, and a manipulator.We have been married for two years now, and I have always obeyed and respected his wish with understanding as the dutiful wife I am, and this is how he was going to pay me back. No, I can't live like this, I can not be married to a liar
