I sat down obediently.
“ Hailey, in as much as you are an employee in my clinic, I still regard you as my own daughter and that’s why I'm going to give you a piece of advice, My dear if you have any future plans with that man who just left here a while ago, I advice that you sit down and think it through before taking any step further or else you might end up making the biggest mistakes of your life. They say you don’t judge a book by it's cover and maybe what I just witnessed might be a misunderstanding but you know the contents of this book and I believe you will make the right choice.”
I was speechless for a while, I didn’t know what to say or which step to take. I stood up and thanks him before I left his office.
While in my office, Doctor Stimson’s words and the strange lady back at the garage were stuck in my mind . “ Could it be true what they said about him. I pondered. Yes he does have an ill temper but ap
Firstly, I went back to the hotel to get my things and I headed back home from there, I had no idea what I was thinking but one thing I was certain is that I do not want to stay in a relationship with Andre Any longer and I don’t want to hide from him in fear either.I returned home later that night and went straight to my room, no words to my room mate Rosalie as she stood there and watched me proceed to my room.All night I couldn’t get a wink of sleep but I managed to come up with an idea. Deep within I don’t know if what Summer told me was true but the only way to find out is not to run away but to keep showing him that I do love him so that I can get closer to him but this time it won’t be for any other thing but to find my way out of his life for good.I got up and got ready for work. I left for work a bit late and once I got to work while in my office I picked up my phone and I went on calling Andre. It rang on
“ Hey Andre, you don’t have to get me anything I am not feeling hungry.” I forced myself to talk calmly“ Oh no babe, you need to eat. Remember you weren’t able to have your breakfast earlier this morning so that’s why you need to force yourself and have something even if it’s a little. For me please.”“ if it was for you then I rather starve to death. I could hear the voice in my head. Alright, why don’t you get me some berries and chips, that’s what I feel like having right now.”He ran out quickly to get what I asked him without hesitating for a second and before I know it he came back with all the chips in the world and bags of different berries, including the ones that I have no idea existed.The following day, before I could get out of bed, André has already prepared breakfast and picked out new clothes for me to wear for our visit to the doctor
“Ma'am, I will applying some lubricant on your abdomen it might feel as little cold on your skin okay?”“ okay.” My voice frail as I laid there with my eyes shut.He pressed the tube and the Jelly poured on my tommy down to my lower paunch, he then used the sonogram Instrument and gently pushed it against my lower stomach and carefully ran it up and down, while monitoring the fetuses heart beat..“ did you see that Mrs. Rodriguez, there is your baby.” He pointed at the image on the screen, I slowly opened my eyes and as soon as I saw my growing child, I got so emotional. Andre clenched on to my hand while we watched our baby’s movement.“ Is it a he or a she doctor?” I could hear Andre ask next.“ the gender can not be detected yet Mr. Rodriguez. Your wife is still in her early stage of the first trimester but by the end of next month we will be able to tell the sex of the ch
I heaved a sigh and slowly shook my head. “ how far is he willing to go and this time he is playing with Destiny.” “ what do you think. Do you like it?” “ yyeah. It’s nice.” I sputtered. “ Louise have this cradle set up in my son’s room.” He ordered the made. Hearing him being specific on my unborn child’s gender made me uneasy so get up “ I have to use the restroom” I made up an excuse and left him there on the bed while I entered the bathroom. I went straight to the sink, turned the water in and splash it on my face. I was feeling suffocated all o
“ Alright why don’t we advance to the Exam room.” He stood up and continued there while we followed, I noticed that Andre didn’t say a word while the doctor was asking questions, he just sat there and observed.“ just lie down like you did last time.” He instructed while he arranged the sonogram instrument, Andre gives me support as I position myself on the exam table.“ good, let’s begin.” He did the same process of applying some jelly on my lower belly and used the tool to gently rub against my skin.“ hmmm! Your baby’s growth is normal, it’s breathing just fine.”
The doctor saw how restless I am and came back.” Alright ma'am I will tell you the truth but you will have to calm down first okay?” I nodded and sits down in my bed. “ Ma'am, when you were brought in to the hospital, you’ve already lost a lot of blood and trust me we tried all we could but the fact that your unborn child is still developing, we managed to save your life but unfortunately we couldn’t save your unborn child.” “ What! What?
“ She is the girl who Andre was supposed to be married to.“ What happened to her?”“ She died. He paused and sigh. She went through so much all because she wanted to change Andre and make him a better person, five years ago Andre was a drug addict and had just returned from Rehab but the fact that he was his parents only child they wanted him to get married and give them a grand child, someone who could carry on their legacy and that’s why they arranged a marriage With Norah. Things were going well until Andre started taking drugs again, he would beat up Norah and after a while he would return to ask for her forgiveness. This continued happening until Norah couldn’t take it so she went over to his place to break up with him and coincidentally I happen to be there but I had gone to use the bathroom.
" That!" He said pointing towards the direction of the car, I turned around following where his index finger points. " Oh no. The car is on fire! " I scream, as I grabbed Greg's left hand and helps him up and supports him while we moved faster and far away from the car which is about to burst into flames. A bit far away from the flaming car, Greg snatched his hand away from mine." Hailey your bags are in there, I need to get them!" He limps as he ran towards the car." Greg No!" I wail at him but it was too late for him before he could reach the car, there was a loud explosion which threw him far away from the fuming car." Greg!!!!" I shouted as I ran to him, while laid on the ground. His clothes were torn and the skin on the elbow was scratched and wounded when he came down in full force." Greg, Greg! Are you okay?" "Mmmm! he groaned as he nodded his head to my question. I'm fine you need not worry. He forced a smile. Suddenly his eyes lit up agai
Hailey's POV"What was all that bullshit you did out there?" Colton asked as he banged his hand so hard on the table, it nearly gave me a heart attack.I jumped. " I'm sorry. If it wasn't urgent then..."" Then what? Who do you think you are to barge into my office and create such chaos?" He walked up to me and grabbed my arm." Nobody. I'm a nobody." I said quietly and he let go of me as if he saw through me and then took a few steps back to his desk." What do you want?" He asked as he slowly placed the bottled water back on his table." To save my mother, I need $40,000 for her surgery."He scoffed " That's a huge sum of money, and why do you think I'd give you such an amount?" He asked sitting on the chair behind the desk." I don't know. I guess I don't have a lot of options on my table. I'm just playing all my cards and thats why I came to you."" I can give you forty grand but what do I get in return." He asked stroking his chin." Whatever you want?" I said without hesitation
Hailey's POVWhile I struggled with him, I kept screaming "Help!" hoping the cops would hear my voice and come to my aid.He forcefully dragged me to his office desk and began to strip my pants with his right hand while his left hand clenched my hair and pinned my face on the table.I struggled with him but he overpowered me and stripped my pants off.Just when he was about to force himself onto me, the door was kicked open with a cop at the entrance holding a gun at him." Step away from the lady." He instructed him.Immediately he let go of my hair and pulled assy from me.I heaved a sigh of relief and slumped into the chair behind me.The officer walked over and put a cuff on his wrists." Ma'am, are you okay?" The officer asked and I nodded gently, while I tried to control my emotions.I could feel my hands trembling as I arranged my hair.Suddenly, I recalled that Sam was still held by Roger's men, I hurried out of the office in search of her."Sam!" I called out." Amanda" I he
" you little birdy, think you could fly because you can flap your wings huh? " I hear Mr. Rogers's voice and then the sound of a smack." Oh gosh! I'm so sorry Sam, This is all my fault." I cried within." you should first of all look at your reflection in the mirror before you look in a woman's direction, you fat ugly bastard!" I could hear Sam throwing shades at him." Slap! You have a big mouth bitch!" Mr. Rogers hits her again. " Umm, excuse me? " I wave at the man standing by the door." what?" He retorts rudely." Please I need to use the bathroom for a minute." I requested." I can't let you go, the boss isn't here yet. So you have to hold it." " I wish I could but I have to go!" I stand up from my chair pretending to be pressed by urine." Okay, three minutes. Don't take longer than that." He says pointing towards the boss's bathroom." Okay. Thank you so much! I quickly Stumble into the bathroom and lock the door from the inside. Phew! I heave a sigh with my back against the
" A threesome... With the both of you, he flashes at me and Sam as we turn and gaze at one another. It's going to be fun, besides it's Friday, so, we will take it to the club and finally to a nice hotel, just the three of us. Once we are done the money is yours, it's not a big deal." He mutter.I feel disgusted merely gazing at him, his dirty yellowish teeth, with crusts on the corners of his mouth. Fat as hell and hideous, I don't think I can even stand staying in one room with just him in it.What gave him the impetus to look at us and think of nothing else but to have sex with us simply because we are women, poor, weak, and desperate girls.These types of people are the reason girls have deemed slots in society because they know when a girl is desperately in need of assistance and what do they do? They present such a tempting offer in front of her but with a constraint that requires her to sell herself, her respect to getting what she needs. At the end of the day,
We are here, eventually, my heart won't stop scampering throughout the entire trip. Sam and I make our way into the building which seems like a warehouse of the sort, there are some packaged goods in cartons stacked on the floor by the corner and some men standing and having a chit chat while some are busy arranging and repackaging the unknown goods in the cartons.It didn't look anything like what I had imagined on my way here, at least there isn't a group of varmints puffing smokes while counting stacks of cash, rather the men here seem to be more engrossed with what they are doing and everything seems legal to me." Hey! Excuse me, Sam waves at one of the men standing across the hall as he slowly takes a few steps closer to us with his brows furrow." Yeah? " the man motioned tilting his neck backward in a manner that his chin notches at Sam while he munches on his gum." Pardon me, please where can we find Mr. Roger?"" Oh! Do you mean the boss? Follow me, he says
" Y-yes?" I stammer." Ma'am you only have three days to get the money for the surgery or else... She pauses and sighs. We might not be able to save her." She states.My room was always filled with the echoes of honking car horns and distinct noises of new york city, suddenly in those brief seconds as I hold the phone in my left ear and listening to the doctor without a word. The only thing that encompass my room is an eerie lull which sent a cold shiver and skepticism running down gently in my spine.Could this be a malediction in my fate, why does despair often knocks at my door each time there is a ray of hope and happiness in my life?" Amanda! Amanda! " suddenly I could hear Sam's voice calling out to me as I slowly wipe my tears and look up, our gaze meets." Amanda, I am so sorry for saying all those nasty things to you, I-i don't know what came over me. She turns and places her hand on my shoulder. I just want you to know that you are a part of my streng
" You still haven't told me where we are going, Amanda?" Sam inquires of me.I hear her, however, I seize to answer her and decide to avoid making eye contact with her as the driver continues to our destination." Why aren't you answering any of my questions, will you talk to me?" She rebels.I can sense her gaping at me furiously but I chose to linger on staying mute, she crinkle her arms and frown her face.The taxi Pulls over by the corner after a twenty minutes ride from the coffee shop.I jump out of the car while Sam comes out after me, I keep my hand in my purse and pay off the driver and he zooms out immediately." what are we doing here, why did you bring me here Amanda?" She yells as her face turns crimson." I am so sorry but I have to step in and help you do what you are supposed to, a few days back. So come with me, let's go." I drag her by the arm as we proceed into the cemetery.With the help of Mrs. Torres, I was able to find o
Why do I feel like something is wrong, I could sense that I've missed something trying to understand Sam, is there something she isn't telling me? I could sense something fishy but I can't seem to wrap my hands around it.We got to the shop and I resume my duty immediately, During my entire shift I try talking to Sam, however, she continues to avoid me on each attempt I make, using the term " there is no relation in business." Whenever I come to talk to have a word with her.I understand, perhaps I meddle in other people's matters but she isn't just anyone to me, she is my best friend and a sister to me, and I believe sisters don't keep their pain from one another.I know she is hiding her feelings, something must have happened to her to make her keep faking her smile and harboring so much anger in her heart." An idea! Perhaps I should speak to Mrs.Torres, she must know something." I ponder as I take the empty plates and cup of coffee I recently served a c
It's been a month, a beautiful stress-free month of working with Sam at her coffee and pastry shop. I enjoy every single bit of my time serving and giving all my attention to the customer's needs, I don't think there is a part of my job I didn't like Though it paid a little, however, the fact that I can earn a dollar at the end of the day means so much to me. In barely a month now I have saved up enough cash to buy a new window phone for myself, at least now I will be proficient to browse the internet and socialize via social media, and of course with my fake identity and a picture of some celebrity or nature on my wall.I try to keep everything about me clandestine and it seems to be working perfectly, Eventually, my life is turning out to be stress-free with some happy mode activated, though, sometimes Sam can be a little uptight and inflexible when it comes to the subject of how to make some changes with the coffee shop, however, I understand what she is doing, making an eff
