I could hear the heartbeat of Gladmir as he patiently wait for the doctor to finish what he had to say. “Mr Xavier, I'm sorry to inform you that, Clara is suffering from partial stroke and dementia," he said. “What!!!" Gladmir exclaimed in shock.“It's not a death sentence, she can still survive," Doctor Jay said while placing his hand on Gladimir’s shoulder. “She has a stroke and dementia, how come?” Gladmir asked while removing the doctor’s hand from his shoulder. He was tensed.I told the doctor to leave, but no without telling him “We will see him later, doctor and thank you” I smiled. I looked at Gladimir and his eyes were red. He was furious. I placed my hand on his shoulder but he immediately removed it. I held his hands intending to take him outside to calm his nerves. And luckily he confirmed as I held his hand and we both walked outside.“Why did you bring me out here?" he asked ruthlessly with his face twisted as if the sunshine was bothering his eyes. “I wanted you to ca
A lot of things were going through my mind, I stood there shivering. Beads of sweat were already on my forehead and my legs were shaking as I looked at him. He looked at me but didn't say a word. His silence got me more scared. Then surprisingly, he grinned at me. Unfortunately, that wasn't one of his genuine smiles, it was a wicked one. He looked over the food and said to me. “Come close and have a taste of what you prepared," he said. My fear subsided Immediately after he said it and I walked with confidence to where the food was. I looked at the tray and he had not eaten. It looks like he just took a spoon from the meal. I felt so disappointed.I took the spoon, dipped it into the food and took it straight into my mouth. Immediately I put it into my mouth and spew it out. It was salty. “What happened?" He asked me ruthlessly. “Nothing happened, it's just too salty" I replied. He glared at me “And you know that I don't like my food salty yet, you went ahead to add much salt" he sai
The result of the test came as a big surprise. I didn't know if the doctor was joking or if he was being serious, but this wasn't the type of news I wanted to hear. Gladmir was confused after hearing the result.“From the test, we carried out on, Mr Xavier we found out that her kidneys got affected," the doctor said. “Hmmm," Gladmir explained.“I'm sorry about that. However, no need to worry. I will write all the medication she needs. But that's not all," the doctor said.“What's else again?" Gladmir worried. “The other bad news is that she was pregnant but she had a miscarriage, — she lost the baby," he said. “What!!!" Gladmir and I both screamed together in shock. “Pregnant!!" We both chorused together again."Yeah, she was four weeks pregnant" the doctor replied. Gladmir and I immediately looked at each other. “Thanks very much, doctor,” Gladmir said to the doctor before he walked out of the ward.It was sad! I didn't even feel that baby. Nonetheless, I was glad I lost the pregnancy
Later, that evening…“Are we all ready to leave?" Gladmir asked them. “Yes, boss" they all replied. I looked at them sorrowfully (Lee, Mike and Leo) and they felt compassion for me except for Max who had an evil smile on his face.They walked out of the living room to the compound and they exited the house in a car. I couldn't tell what they were going for, but I could tell that they didn't go to any meetings. They were going out for a dreadful activity. I watched them leave and it was kind of satisfactory. If Nanny Clara wasn't sick, she would be the one to take care of me a d keep me company. I stood there for a while washing and cleaning. When I was done, the house was quiet and I was bored so I headed back to my room. The house was quiet.At some point, I decided to stroll around. When I got near Nanny Clara’s room, I could hear voices from her room. I was confused. The voice I heard was that of Nanny Clara, or was it my mind playing with me, — Or was it the physiotherapist talkin
Never did I ever imagine, our paths would cross again, but they did. My heart started pounding.When she was done purchasing the vanilla ice cream, she turned towards my direction and when she saw me she shouted in shock. She couldn't believe it. After how many months of being apart. But there we were facing each other and exchanging malicious glances. I wanted to kill her because I trusted her and she played me. As we got closer, she was smiling and she wanted to hug me as if nothing had ever happened. I flinched away from her hug and her eyes widened in shock. But why was she surprised?“Your dress is nice and you look so beautiful and better than the last time we met… that means that everything went on well for you as I planned," she said and I wanted to kill her more. Silence prevails for a while before I spoke up. “How could you do that to me, — your bestie?… I mean ex!" I yelled at her, I could keep it in me. She was shamelessly taking the credit for my glow. “Hey lower your v
The room was frightening, I was so scared. Beads of sweat were dripping from my forehead and my body was wet as well. The only thing that went through my mind was saying my last prayer. As I stood in the middle of the room, I saw someone walk in whom I believe was the boss.“What took you so long?" He asked as he walked in. “I am so sorry sir," I said in a panic. “Well, you have some activities you need to carry out for me and when you are done, depending on the result of the activities, we will know if you will stay alive or not," he mockingly said to me as if my life was just a game for him. “Okay sir" I seriously nodded my head. I was trembling, with my head still bowed to the ground. “Get me the cell phone," he said to the man standing beside him. “Right away sir" he replied and went to get the phone. After a few minutes, he returned with a phone and handed it over to his boss. He immediately grabbed the phone to make a call. He was about to dial a number before he stopped. He lo
I couldn't also help it as tears rolled down my eyes as I recalled all that had happened to me as well. After a little while, I was called in to have my massage. It was my turn to go but I didn't want to anymore. At least not until the woman's ended her story. She was at the part where she I'm promoted by her husband and she ended up being well beaten by him. ‘Oh my God, mean I evil. Why will a mad best the mother of his kids?” Unfortunately, I have to leave for my massage. I need it. When I got into the room for the massage, the woman there took good care of me. It was really a good experience as it felt better. When I was done with that, I walked down to the manicure and pedicure quarter to have my nails done and fixed my hair. I had an entire bundle and I spent much time. After about three hours everything was done. I picked up my bags t leave. I decided to go watch a movie at the cinema. I didn't want to go home. I wanted to do so many things before the master returned and locke
I was feeling restless, so I decided to call him. But I didn't have a phone, how will I call him, I asked myself as I thought about what to do for a while, then I decided to use either Lee or Leo’s phone to contact him. I started searching for them around the house. But then, I remembered Gladimir once telling them not to give me their phones for any reason. I hit my face in dismay and I gave up. I knew asking them won't yield anything because they feared Gladimir so much.After second thought, I decided to sneak into Nanny Clara's room and use her phone. Without wasting time, I headed straight to her room. When I got there, she was asleep, the physio wasn't and I saw her phone on a small table at one edge of her room.I was on the phone and thank God she had no password. I searched for Gladimir's name on her call log, but I didn't find it. I kept on searching all in vain. I got frustrated and dropped the phone and walked out of the room. I returned to my room disappointed.Restless,
After a couple of minutes, I was done preparing dinner. ‘I hope Gladimir will love this!’ I told myself deep down as I fixed the dining table before rushing into my room as Gladimir had instructed me to. He told me not to come out till the meeting was over, mine was to cook and remain in the room then Max, Lee, and Leo would do the serving and other tasks.I sat down on the bed thinking of what to do, I decided to wait for Gladmir and his visitors to arrive. Then I thought about something very dangerous and bit by bit I slept off.A few minutes later I shuddered in bed and woke up. I stood up from bed and walked into the bathroom to wash my face. After that I got out of my room, I tiptoed to the entrance of the hallway, peeping through the door then I saw Gladimir’s back and two guests facing him. They were having a meeting in the living room.I went back to the room and opened my wardrobe searching for the sexiest and most extravagant dress I had. I took a red short strapless and I c
After my bath, I dressed up and went to the kitchen. I prepared what I would eat. When I was done with it, I carried it to my room and ate. After, eating I decided to sneak out of the house to go and check on my mother at the hospital. But before that, I took the debit card he gave me to use anytime I needed money. I carried a small purse and walked out of the room. I decided to sneak out using one of his cars to make it look official to the guard. The best way to sneak out was using one of his cars and the driver and to step out through the main door. I guessed Gladimir was busy with his whore..I also wanted to use his unlimited car to purchase my mother a better apartment for ‘I hope this card will be up to taste!’ I prayed deep down. I finally stepped out of the house successfully and I asked the driver to drop me in front of the hospital I told him to leave and come in a few houses before I entered the hospital but he didn't leave and I knew he wasn't going to leave. So I us
As the door knob turned, Max shifted away from me with fear. There was no way he could untie me on time so he simply covered me with the blanket as the door opened Gladimir's head popped in then his body followed. But before he could move in further, Max immediately moved closer to him. Just when he stepped his feet Max was already next to him so he couldn't move in further. I was terrified and hidden under the blanket. I didn't even know how to react. I didn't know if I had to scream but my mouth was tired or just remain steady. “Max!” Gladimir called and I started screaming under the blanket but there was no way he could get me unless he came closer. “Did you do what I asked you to?” he asked. Max was nervous and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead “Yes, Boss but the Glaziers are still to pay for the last deal… And the shipment will be arriving at the port in five hours" Max replied with a flustered voice.“Hmmmm, Great! Our partners will come over tomorrow, and make the necess
I knew this would be the best thing to do, but another suggestion popped up within me. Coming to think of it, no one ever wanted to know what was going wrong with Gladimir. No one ever woke up with such intent at heart. I thought as I left Nana Clara back to our room and I took a book and lay on his bed. After reflection, I started asking why was he always so mean and distant. Oh, my goodness, deep with me, I wanted him to change because all he did was inhuman and something needed to be done before he destroys all the people around him. I thought to myself amidst my reading. Then I lay in bed as I read the book. It was enlightening that I had to write down some points from the book, — a few points I planned to implement whenever I was going to start a business. The pen in my hand was gradually falling off and the scent of Gladimir on the bed made me fantasize as sleep was slowly taking control over me. Unexpectedly, the door opened snatching me from my sleep as I slowly opened my ey
Unexpectedly, when I had given up I heard some knocks on the door, I jumped out of the bed and ran to the food praying to see him and not Max. When I finally opened the door, it was Lee standing in front of me and my smile faded away but he was smiling “The Boss is back" he said to me and walked away. My heart started pounding with beads of sweat appearing on my forehead. For some minutes, I just couldn't feel my legs. Suddenly, Why was I afraid when I was expecting his return, I questioned myself. Well, I decided to wait for him here in the bedroom since he didn't send it to me. I neared the door and went back to sit in bed but before then I spread some perfume. I had to smell good.After a few minutes, I saw the door knob moving anti-clockwise and I knew it was no one else but him. I started fixing my dresses making my boobs reveal a bit then I sat upright seductively facing the door. But that wasn't reasonable so, I lay in bed and pretended to be sleeping. I heard the door opening
