CHAPTER 11

A beam of light stole through the curtain. And darkness was relieved of its duty. The honk from flying vehicles greeted disruptively. It was yet another Saturday where the family had breakfast rituals. If you were a member of the Laurent’s family living within the city, you had to be there or get fined with a wholesome visit by a large number of the family, in troops. What fine, per se? You just had to be prepared to treat the Laurents’ with different delicacies. Gizzards were sacred, and every Laurent must have at least 10 pieces in the reservoirs, lest any family member step in to have a good time.Unlike every other Saturday. This Saturday was the mad devil. who demanded everyone be dressed in ebony black. Sorrows won a case over sheer moments of happiness. Spencer has not only been part of the family, but Sophia’s greatest play mate. You could tell from her fallen jaw, and pale floppy ears that Spencer was unhappy. Maybe her best friend ignored her. She had curled up in the

CHAPTER 12

“She's awake, Mrs., But we are afraid she might not be herself like she used to be.” The Doctor reported, tilting forward from her seat, leaning her elbows on the table, fixed both fingers to provide a resting spot for her jaw, in a bid to pose how harmless the topic of concern is. “What do you mean, Doc? Tell me you're not professional enough with your job. Make me understand..?” Mrs Laurent demanded, letting out a grin of disgust. The Doctor let a not-too-excited smile court her lips as she proceeded with the briefing. “She is experiencing a medical condition that appeals to the medical team as memory loss. We are still working to pick out what exactly must have triggered that. From our reports here,” Stretches a blue cover file towards Mrs. Laurent. “There's something suspicious happening in the hypothalamus of her brain. But we can't be too sure since we have little or no information about our patients. Okay, Mrs, I may not be appealing to you in appearance, or you may have

CHAPTER 13

Flickers of lights fled to every nook and cranny of the room. Thunder claps danced to the rhythmic lights that consistently changed colours from red to blue to green at five-second successive intervals.At the sudden lash of a powerful thunderclap, a tall shadow appeared, fitting the door frame perfectly, with sharply chiselled abs visible enough to the imagination.The shoulders sprawled wide to the left and right of the arm, carrying a small-sized head. Its feet were deeply rooted to the tiled floor, commanding aura.A familiar fragrance diffused through every corner of the room, just enough to choke anyone who wasn't familiar. Fear crept into her stomach as the masculine-like shadow moved closer, now appearing larger than the initial sight.The blue light fell to the face of the familiar face as It stepped closer. The lustring blonde hair sparked deja Vu. It felt like she’d been in that place and the same scenario before, some time ago, maybe in the past life.But something clicked

CHAPTER 14

Giddy shocks left her body stunned like 50,000 Ampere of current forced its way through her narrow veins. Her eyes shone in disbelief at the ridiculous request. What now?Thoughts bombarded her sanity, disrupting her attention from the devil who was now standing erect in front of him with his white shirt sleeves folded to elbow level. The thought of losing her mother’s mansion, perhaps, her only shelter, the dread of not having a source of income to take care of her needs and her baby’s. If the mall demolition is called off. I could get back on track and live my life. My life? The guilt of killing Ethan’s baby will let me live my life? Will Damian not stalk me everywhere making me his prisoner? Nothing is free from Damian, there’s always a high expectation bar awaiting you to hang yourself to please him. The heat of the frustration forced her to blurt these last thoughts out loud, shouting...“Have you no human sympathy that I may die in the abortion process? Have you in hay forgot

CHAPTER 15

Do broken hearts ever mend? Where do broken hearts go? Naomi sat on her bed, staring at an artwork, a two by two in a sized clear painting of dark ink of a mother carrying a child on her back, having tied her closely with a piece of cloth, while selling to passersby, the sun’s ray fell directly on the mother, casting her shadows backwards to cover the baby. She had never paid close attention to the painting over the years until today when everything hit her at once, she felt a deep connection with the artwork, causing goosebumps to reel over her body at the thought of the struggles of motherhood which kept calling and how life will look like without any support, nor the mall. She sat with her palms supporting her head, beneath her jaw, and her elbow rooted to her thigh, lost in her dilemma of thoughts, questioning why she felt that way with heavy burdens that seemed chronic, the burden of a divided home, the uncertainty of how to raise her child for another 7 and a half years withou

CHAPTER 16

I’m bleeding under this rain. Can the world see? See through the rain that there’s a well of tears drooling from my eyes, just pain, of regrets, the pain of being a mortal full of mistakes. I have been waiting for an answer. But it won’t come today. Can someone out of the blue tell me what to do? Something like; “stop! Go this way.” It feels like I am a sinking ship in my own pool of mistakes, and the things I can’t control. Will things be okay? I showed the devil its way in. I shouldn't have asked for that ink. That ink on paper. Am I selfish? I am just a girl. A mortal at that. Do we all make mistakes too? Yeah. We do?Fire and water intertwined with her conscience. Some time ago, it was hot desire Vs pure love. Today, it is guilt and her unborn baby. Perhaps, a bastard child as the world wanted her to believe. She was even more confused than the world itself.They say time heals all wounds, but these wounds cut so deep. Time may not She thought of how to avoid the press on her w

CHAPTER 17

13:05 GMTScreeching sound emanated from beneath when the aircraft’s landing tires met the tarred enroute, as the aeroplane maintained that velocity for another 3 minutes before coming to a halt.She let out a heavy sigh of relief, thanking her lucky stars that nothing happened all through the flight, nothing close to an aeroplane crash that left a scar in her subconscious mind, when she was but a little fry. According to the gathered reports, the pilot was passing through a tough marriage. Yeah, she could relate better now. And the other slept off. She met the ambience which she did not hesitate to sip in. The terminals were clogged with passengers. She stood for a split second, trying to locate a great spot to sit and call her friend to pick her up.Buzz….A message popped in from the notification bar.Look behind you. Bingo!Naomi quickly turned 180 degrees on both heels to meet Clara’s face, beaming with a heart-warming smile. The excitement of meeting a loser she has not met i

CHAPTER 18

The dull sun rays stole through the blinds, being a bit stingy with its rays. A portion of its reflection on the mirror adjacent, fell on Naomi’s closed eyelid. She opened one side of her eye to the sun ray, which hastily, in zero time, sent a sharp sensation through her head. In a reflex, her legs jerked, forcing her to respond, swiftly raising her palm to eye level to block the rays from her eyes. After a few seconds of mumbling to the uncalled-for discomfort, she stood up from the couch and made for the blinds, stepping across Clara, who was carelessly sprawled on the floor, exposing her cleavage and kissing thighs. She closed the blinds and made a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn, heading for the couch. Clara mumbled, turning her body to face Naomi who was now stretched on the couch, applauding her for helping put out the light.Both scream in unison, jerking up to sit facing each other with their faces losing all expressions!!“Oh, darn, we are late for work. And have the

Chapter 19

It was just the doctor’s prediction from his foresight as a professional medical personnel. Unfortunately, the doctor was right, but his suggestions were far from what is happening now.Will this bleeding meet an end? A day after forever?This pain has robbed me of my heart, left me with nothingness At least something I can brag of that can finally stay forever.The world is ending; I don’t mind leading the queue rather than living life meaningless.Distant music reeled into Naomi’s consciousness as she lay with little or no life on the sick bed.Hot tears fled opposite sides of her eyes, each drawing a visible line, hunting its way down to the back of her neck.“News at 18:00 GMT–Live on Open Network Centre Focus”The Headlines:-Gas stock market hits bullish run- Billionaire Business Mogul of Manhattan, Mr. Ethan, is set to file a controversial plea bargain.- Billionaire Business Mogul, Mr. Damian, collaborates with Piston Microfinance Bank in retrieving 3,000 Individual Building

Cbapter 20

Back to life. Back to reality. Back to work, but this time, a little less for one of the duo.Life should be more rosy now. The world has been on Naomi’s shoulders until she made a no-turning-back decision to dance the world off her shoulders. Dance her shoulder off? How about the things Ethan's touch did to her? The electrifying touch from the Billionaire. The soft neck kisses that had been permanently installed in her head? Nah. She was missing all of those. Especially now that she is plying the route of endless emotional trickery, the simultaneous feeling of needing love and affection at a time, and in a snap, it becomes cravings for fried shark, roasted lion skin, etc, an endless list of unthinkable edibles, any flesh can think of.The trauma that accompanies gestation is second to none. It is almost impossible to sit for a while without salivating. Her feet increased in size, and her visibly protruded stomach needed support, support from Daddy. But Daddy firmly protests that
