Seconds, minutes, and even hours had passed, and the light in the operating theatre still hadn’t gone off. Tanya held on to Kathryn as she patted her hair.“It’s going to be fine, the both of them will be fine.” She told her as she handed her a glass of water. “Here, have this, you haven’t eaten all day.” She told her, but she shook her head.“No mum. I don’t want to have it. Kathy and Daniel haven’t eaten all day too. Mum, my daughter is in there, and I don’t know how everything is going. Until I know they’re alright, I won’t be able to rest easy.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks, and Tanya smiled as she pulled her to herself.“I’m telling you, everything is going to be fine, and trust me, Kathryn. Your life is going to get better from now on. I promise you.” She said, and Kathryn embraced her tightly.“I hope so, mum. I really do.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks.While she embraced her mum, tears streaming down her cheeks, the lights in the operating theatre s
She took in a deep inhale as she closed her eyes. “For years, I’ve kept this story to myself. I’ve never shared it with anyone but mum. It hurts me whenever I remember it, but maybe it’s time I said it because how would I heal when I know I still haven’t recovered from the past?” She spoke as she wiped her tears, and he stared at her.“What happened twenty years ago?” He asked her, and she closed her eyes as more tears streamed down her cheeks.“I was born to a very poor family, my parents barely owned anything, and my mother, she was a woman who worked very hard to provide for all of us. She made sure that the four of us, me, her, my dad, and my elder sister, Elma didn’t lack anything. She was a very busy woman, and since she had to work so much for her to fend for our needs, she was never home. She kept us in the custody of our father who didn’t have a job. His only job was to take care of us since she was the one doing all the work, but he couldn’t do that, and instead of actually
His eyes widened in shock as he stared at her. “That’s a lie, you’re joking.” He told her, and she shook her head as she stared at him.“I’m not. My sister was already nine at the time, and it felt like her condition was just getting worse. Okay, you’re not my real parents, where are my real parents? I used to ask them, but no one answered me, they just kept making our lives a living nightmare, and looking at Elma, the sister who saved me many times, she was getting worse. It was like she could barely even talk, and that was when I made a decision, I needed to take my sister away from there.” She told him as she wiped her tears; and he stared at her.“Weren’t you just seven?” He asked her, and she nodded as she chuckled.“I was just seven, but I also couldn’t stand seeing my sister who’d given me life die slowly. We had nowhere to go, but one thing was certain: we couldn’t keep staying at that house. For months, we were on the run, barely surviving because we didn’t have any money or
“They found the both of you?” Daniel asked, shocked, but she chuckled.“No, it was some women. They had heard her screams while she delivered and they decided to help us, but then, after everything that had happened, I didn’t think I could trust anyone. I didn’t think I would be able to let those women help me, but then, Elma, she had a good heart, and she didn’t want the baby to die. She was already bleeding badly, and we had no choice but to go with the women.”“Don’t tell me they were part of the…”“No, they weren’t, but I never got to see my sister again.” She said as she smiled weakly, and he furrowed his eyebrows.“What happened to her?”.“Elma, you’ve got a beautiful baby here, she’s so cute.” Kathryn told her sister who was barely awake.Elma smiled weakly as she took a sixteen year old Kathryn’s hand in hers, rubbing it slowly as she smiled weakly. “She’s not my baby, Katrina. She’s yours.” She said, and Kathryn’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at her.“My baby? What do
Days had passed since the surgery, and both Daniel and Kathy seemed to be doing well. More than anyone, Kathryn was happy, and that was because her daughter was better now, she wouldn’t have go through the same pain that her sister had gone through, and she also wouldn’t have to be separated from her.On the other hand, she was also very happy that after two years, she was finally forgiven by Daniel. It seemed like her life was falling into place, until one day, while she was busy with work, Kathy walked up to her.“Momma, are you busy?” She asked her, and Kathryn chuckled as she pulled her closer to herself.“Tell me, when have I ever being too busy for you?” She asked as she tucked her hair behind her ear, and Kathy chuckled as she stared at her.“I’m so sorry, momma, but I just have a quick question to ask.” She said, and Kathryn stared at her, tears streaming down her cheeks.She slowly wiped the tears that were now forming in her daughter’s eyes as she stared at her. “Kath, are y
“Kathryn, are you sure you can do this? You’ve waited two years to see him, all this time, all you wanted is to have a happy life with him and Kathy, why are you leaving now? I have no problems if you’re happy, but Kathryn, think about yourself for once. You’re also a human.” Tanya said as they sat in the waiting area, waiting for their time of flight.“Mum, don’t worry about me, I’m very happy. Does it look like I’m sad? This is what we need. At least now, we know everything is fine. I know that he has forgiven me, Kathy is better now too. What else could we want?” She asked, and Tanya tucked her hair behind her ear as she smiled at Kathryn.“Your happiness. Kathryn, for two years, all you’ve being focused on is making us happy, me and Kathy, and I don’t think Kathy wants to be a burden on you forever.” Tanya said, and Kathryn chuckled.“Kathy and you will never be a burden to me because you two are very important to me.” She said, and Kathy raised her head from Kathryn’s laps as she
They held her back after successfully knocking her gun out of her head. She groaned as she kept on trying to get free from their grips in the dark room and she thought she was successful until they suddenly pushed her to the floor. She groaned in anger, this had to be the first time she was sent on an assignment but couldn’t complete it. The door suddenly opened and she closed her eyes as the door’s opening came with so much light.A man walked in and all the men who’d held her earlier moved back while the man walked towards her. She raised her head and saw the man which made her gulp.He clapped his hands and the light she didn’t knew that dark room had came up. She closed her eyes before slowly opening them again and this time she saw his face which made her gulp.Was he the mafia don? “Damn!” She cursed under her breathe…. He was so freaking hot! He moved closer to her and she could now observe his features more closely.His Chiseled jawline, perfectly sculpted nose, virile body, e
“You might have done well against them, pretty understandable.. they’re low grades after all but let’s see how you do against him “ he said and a one sided smirk danced all the way up his face and on turning, she saw one of the scariest creatures she’d ever seen in her whole career. He looked muscular but this wasn’t the kind of muscular man girls dreamed of. His muscular body, not well structured face and those dreadlocks and tattoos on his body, his look alone was enough to scare her but she didn’t fall for it. She had humiliate this don right here.She rushed in his direction but not to hit him. She slid directly under him and since he’d been expecting her to attack from the front, he wasn’t prepared for the back attack and she successfully used her necklace to give him a hard punch in the neck. She’d really practiced biology because she knew the exact place to hit that made him fall to his knees in pain, giving her the chance to climb on his back and when he got up, trying to thro
