"Tell me, Eva. What was that? Why were you looking at him that way?" James asked her, and she crossed her legs in front of him as she tucked her hair behind her ear.She took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag as she started to smoke."There’s something about him; he is different from all the men I’ve ever met." She told him, and he chuckled as he took the seat opposite her."I hope it’s not what I’m thinking, because if it is, you’re just wasting your time. He is just a cool guy; these things don’t affect him. He is not the type for this." James told her, and she shook her head."He has got to be. He could even be a playboy; who knows?" She asked with a smile, and he shook his head."He’s not even a playboy. He used to be a don, but now he’s not. He is an honest businessman now. I wonder what changed him." James told her, and she shook her head."Don’t worry, I want him, and trust me, I’ll get him for myself. I have to get to work now; excuse me." She told him, and with that, she
As she limped out of the building, more tears streamed down her cheeks. She never thought it would get to this; she never thought that one day her deadlines would come so easily. She had thought that, like all the other ones she had done, finishing Daniel off would be so easy, but then it wasn’t.She wiped her tears, and just then, she spotted someone. "Martha?" She called, shocked, as she walked towards her."Tell me, what are you doing here?" She asked her, and she burst into laughter."What did you think? That we would let you stay in Daniel’s house without keeping a spy?" Martha asked, and her eyes widened in shock."You work for the godfather?" She asked, and Martha nodded."Yes, and I’m the one who reports every single thing you do to him. I…" Without even letting her speak even more, Kathryn gave her a slap across the face in anger."How dare you? How could you betray him like that? He gave you a job, Martha. He even let you stay in his house, and this is what you do to him?" S
She shook her head as she stared at him. What was wrong with her? Was she suddenly going crazy? How was she seeing these things, and why did it feel like..."And why do you even have a knife with you in bed? Are you planning to kill someone?" He asked her, and she stared at him, shocked, and just as she looked down, she found a knife in the bed, and she shivered in fear."I..I." Before she could even speak, he cupped her face slightly as he stared into her eyes."Kathryn, don’t worry. It’s just a nightmare. I’m here for you, luckily. Come on, go to bed, and get some rest. You’ve gone through a lot today already." He told her, and she swallowed as she watched him lay back and go to bed.All her life, this was the hardest thing she had ever done. How could she get some rest? Even for the rest of her life, she wasn’t sure she would be able to get any rest because of the sin she was about to commit.It wasn’t her first murder, and it wasn't going to be her tenth, but for the first time, i
She shook her head as she shook his body repeatedly. "Daniel!" She screamed. "Open your eyes, Daniel. Please, I’m begging you, open your eyes for me. Don’t do this to me." She screamed in tears as she got off the bed.She quickly went to his side of the bed as she started to hit his face softly. "Open your eyes, Daniel. I beg of you, talk to me." She screamed, and after screaming for a few minutes, she fell to the ground.She wiped her tears slowly as she rushed out of the room. "Martha, Karla!!! Help me, please." She called out to the maids in the house, but none of them came out.She could tell that she was the only one in the house with Daniel, and fear surged through her. She shook her head as she stared at him, more tears streaming down her cheeks. She took a deep inhale as she started to carry him out of the room."Daniel, please don’t go; you’ll be fine. I promise you’ll be fine; just stay strong, for me at least. I love you." She cried as she carried him out."Help me!" She y
She screamed as she fell to the ground, crying out in pain, but no one was around, and as such, no one could help her. She gulped in pain as she turned to see the truck driving off like nothing had happened, and she cried out in pain.She rolled over as she tried to get up again, but it was of no use as she had been badly injured. She pressed her lips tight as she closed her eyes, and the moment she closed those eyes, all she could see was Daniel in that horrible condition, with the knife in his stomach and all. She shook her head as tears streamed down her cheeks, and as she did so, she could recall the last time she had seen Kathryn. The poor girl had been beaten to a stupor and tied up.She cried as she tried to get up again. The lives of the two were in danger, and she had to save them at all costs, even if it was the last thing she did."Oh, Lord, help me, please." She spoke in pain as she managed to stand again.She went to the corner, and even though everything looked blurry to
She shook her head as she stared at the nurse. She didn’t want to believe that she had heard that right. "You’re joking, right? Please, tell me this is a joke; tell me you’re joking." She told the nurse as she shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, and the nurse shook her head."No, madam. I’m not joking. His condition was critical; the knife hit a vital spot, and it seemed he had a poisoning case before being brought here." The nurse told her, and she shook her head as tears streamed down her cheeks."No, Daniel." She cried as she tried to get out of bed. How could this have happened? How was it possible that Daniel slipped into a coma?More importantly, who took him home? She didn’t think he had any family, especially as he had never talked about any of them, so who could have taken him home? What happened? Why did it feel like she didn’t even understand anything that was going on?"I have to go; I can’t let this happen. His life is in danger; I’m sorry, I have to go." She
She stated this to her as she chuckled slightly. "You know, I’d argue with you if I wasn’t sick and the love of my life wasn’t in there, battling for his life, but now, I can’t. So please, move out of the way; I need to get to him." She told her, and the woman chuckled."You don’t even know who I am, and you’re already this rude?" The woman asked her, and she took a deep breath as she stared at her."Who you are doesn’t matter. I want to be with Daniel; move out of the way now!" Kathryn told her and made her go into the room when the woman held on to her hand, which had already become more injured, causing her more pain."The name’s Ella. Ella Roxanne, and I’m going to be the only woman Daniel wants to see when he wakes up, so please, move out of the way; I don’t entertain guests like you who only know how to be rude." Ella told her, and she chuckled as she dragged her out of the room."Listen to me, Ella. The last thing I want to do now is argue with you. The last thing I want to do
With tears welling in her eyes as she stared at him, she spoke. "Da… Daniel, you’re joking, right? This is just a joke. I’m Kathryn; you told me that I should seduce you, and along the way, we fell in love. Daniel, tell me this is some sort of joke. Please tell me you’re playing a prank on me." She told him as she cried, and he shook his head as he stared at her."Do I look like someone who has the time to play pranks?" He asked her as he held on to his head, wincing in pain. "Ah!" He groaned, and she immediately grabbed a cup of water as she handed it to him."Daniel, take this." She told him as she tried to help him to it, but then he pushed her hand away, causing the glass to fall out of her hands as he started to struggle to sit up."It hurts! My head!" He cried out in pain as he sat up, moving his head as he closed his eyes.She held on to the sheets; he was in so much pain, and she could see it in his eyes. Was this a prank, or did he already find out the truth and still want to
“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
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
“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
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
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
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 wiped her tears as she shook her head, staring at him, shocked. “You? How did you know about…”“The day you left the meeting, I followed you. I have being keeping tabs on everything you’ve being doing, and the other day, I had myself tested to see if I was a match for her, and turns out, I was.” He told her, and she stared at him, shocked.“You’re willing to donate a kidney to her even after everything that I did to you?” She asked him, and he smiled as he moved closer to her.“I know the truth now, Kathryn. I know that whatever you did, you didn’t do it for money like I thought you had. You did it because you were a mother. You did it because you wanted to save your child.” He told her as he took her hand in his.The tears she was trying hide to fight in streamed down her cheeks more freely. “Daniel, I’m sorry, and I swear, for the rest of my life, I’ll be grateful to you for saving Kathryn. I’ll make it up to you, I…” he shook his head.“Kathryn, you might not have being the one
She rolled her eyes as she turned on the bed. “What see you doing here, Daniel? Didn’t I already say I’d get your files for you? Didn’t I tell you that my mum would….” Before she could even finish speaking, he cut her off.“We both know she’s not your birth mother, Kathryn, so stop…”“She doesn’t have to be the one who birthed me before she’s my mum. If she gave me life, if she stood by me and gave me a listening ear when no one else did, she’s more than worthy to be my mum. Daniel, I need to rest. Please leave.” She told him, and he chuckled.“For weeks, you’ve been doing your best to try and talk to me. You’ve being putting up with everything I’ve done to you, and now that I’m actually willing to listen to you, you don’t want to talk to me? How ironic.” He said, and at that moment, she could feel the tears start to well up in her eyes.She took in a deep inhale as she stared at him. “It’s like you said, Daniel. I’ve been throwing myself at you for weeks, but you didn’t listen, and n
“Daniel, relax. It’s not what you think. I…” before she could even finish speaking, he grabbed her by the hair as he stared at her.“How many more secrets are you going to keep from me, Kathryn? Tell me, how much more are you going to keep shocking me? How much more are you going to keep reminding me that I don’t seem to know anything about you? Just show me your true color, Kathryn. Stop being a camellion and show me the real you.” He told her, and she shook her head.“Daniel, at least listen to me, let me explain. I…”“Come on, explain. I want to hear everything. Maybe it’s time that I came to know the truth because I’m tired, I’m tired of getting hurt over and over again, because for some reason, I find out that I know nothing about the woman I love.” He told her, and tears started to stream down her cheeks on hearing him say those words to her.“So you still love me Afterall. Daniel, you…” he raised his hand, preventing her from completing her statements.“Let’s not even get start
