Nobela ni El Zico

Arriving home, Wendy crashed into the couch as she came into terms of her marital status. She realized Hilton wasn’t at home and immediately, the thought of him begging around to have people pity him crept into her mind.Thinking of diverse ways to tread her new path, she eventually dozed off.Wendy couldn’t tell for how long she slept but she woke up when she heard footsteps approaching.Hilton looked at her deeply and for minutes, it was as if everything was still. Wendy couldn’t explain why she felt something different about her husband. However, she quickly spoke to divert her thoughts. “Where are you coming from?” Wendy questioned with a tightened expression.Hilton shook his head and attempted to walk away. To his surprise, Wendy blocked his way and had her arms crossed over her chest.“What’s all this? Excuse me.” Hilton said with a deep and cold tone.“Exactly what it seems. Where did you go? I demand an explanation from you, Mister Hilton. From the day we got married, you ha

After all the documentation, Wendy left and headed to see her father and sister.“In two days’ time, we will move to the new apartment. This job is a life saver.” Wendy said happily.“Hmm, this is good news but…” Greg said.“But what?” Wendy queried as her smile disappeared.“I feel less of myself. I should be the one fixing all this out and sorting the bills but you are bearing it all. I wish your mom was still alive to witness all this.”Wendy lost her Mom to a ghastly motor accident when she was a teenager. They were based abroad but returned to the city when their father couldn't forget about his dear wife. Greg initially left the city because his family didn't want him to get married to Nancy's mother who was already carrying his child.It wasn't easy for Greg to manage the family alone, nevertheless, he ensured his children became literate.At the end of it all, he was proud that Wendy brought him so much joy.“Mom will be proud of me wherever she is. Come off it, Dad. By the

Wendy arrived at Darnold Enterprise at exactly seven. She heaved in relaxation. With the help of the receptionist, she headed to the ICT room where the test will be taking place.Just then, Wendy stumbled on a man who was walking out of the room and had his phone glued to his ear.“Who are you? Do you want to push the chairman down? Get lost!” A young man scolded her.“I am sorry, I never meant it that way.” Wendy bowed her head.The man moved his phone from his ear and looked at Wendy who was fidgeting. He gestured to the man to let her be.“Come in,” the young man uttered.Within the twinkle of an eye, Wendy walked in. She turned back to see if the chairman would still be by the door but unfortunately, he wasn’t. She wished she was more composed earlier then she would have exchanged pleasantries with the chairman of Darnold Enterprise. The person everyone desired to curry favor from because of his great influence in the business world.“Next time, be more careful and conscious.” We

The next day.Refusing to apply makeup, Wendy got dressed in a white flowing gown that belonged to her mother. Her mother wished to see her daughters wear them too. Unfortunately, she was snatched by the cold hands of death. Wendy was excited that her mother’s wish was coming to pass but it was heartbreaking that she was wearing it to exchange marital vows with a stranger; someone she didn’t love.Only a few people were present at the cathedral to witness the joining. “Are you sure about this?” Greg whispered as he walked her down the aisle to meet her husband.“Yes,” she replied confidently.Facing the strange man, her heart raced against it cage. The man was really disfigured and he had a cold expression. Scars and scary patches dominated his face. She had signed up for this so she kept her cool.The priest came over and began the process. At the end, they both uttered I DO.“Let’s go to your new home.” Hilton uttered and led the way to a cab.Wendy complained inwardly. This was s

At a reunion party.A lot of young people were present. They had fun and talked about their memories when they were in college.“This is more fun than I had imagined.” Wendy said to her fiancé, Jason.“Yeah right,” Jason replied.Wendy was about to say something but was interrupted by Jason’s buzzing phone.Hurriedly, he picked up the phone and said. “I have to attend to something urgent. I will be back in a jiffy.”It's over thirty minutes and Jason hasn’t returned. Wendy picked her purse and went in search of Jason. They have been courting for three years and she loved him so much.She called his mobile line, it rang but there was no response.She went out, with intentions to wait by his car side till he came over.As she approached the car, her gaze was etched with confusion as she saw the car swaying gently.At that point came a feminine seductive voice.“Give me more! Faster!”Wendy’s heart beat rate tripled. She quickly opened the door and the ground before her sank. She beheld

“They will be safe. I will go after the gangster and put him where he belongs. Laura will only find out when I have exposed her. I won’t put up any act that will make her suspect.” I pouted.“We have to be careful. We also have to strategize perfectly to be victorious in this battle.” Silas whispered.I finished up the work I had on my desk while Silas listened to music.“Let's go to your house.” I said and he stared at me.He must have been surprised that we were leaving the office earlier than usual.I had to draw out a plan for this mission and his house was the best place for it.We arrived at Silas' residence.“Do you care for a drink?” Silas asked the moment I sat on the couch.“Water is perfect.” I replied.I pulled out a pen and a piece of paper from my bag.I wrote down all the information about the gangster. The only cause for alarm was that even the database didn't reveal the name of the person.That isn't something to worry about. With the phone number, we can find the per

CALEB Silas briefed me about some latest developments including a zoom meeting with Sarah.I happily joined the meeting when it was time. After the meeting, I left the office without informing anyone.I decided to have a drink because I couldn't get Sarah off my mind. I want to give my heart what it desires by doing all it takes to send Laura out of my life.As I walked into a bar, I met Stanley.“Hey man, come and join me.” He said to me and I happily sat beside him.The waiter walked up to me and took my order.Almost immediately, the waiter returned and Stanley insisted that he was going to pay for my drink.I was about to take a sip when my phone rang. It was a call from Silas.Can't Silas know when I want to be alone? “Why are you calling me?” I complained but Silas wasn't moved by it.“How dare you leave the office without informing me?” He queried.Do I have to remind him that I was his boss?I cleared my throat. “Stop missing me. I don't have to inform you about my movemen

SARAH “We can go now. He must be worried that you haven’t come to pick him. It has stopped raining.” Josh said to me.We were working on a project together so I decided we should stop by the house to pick an important document before going to pick Nelly from school. Lo, it started raining. We had no choice than to wait till after the rain cox, I believed Nelly was safe.Immediately I opened the door, I was shocked to see Caleb carrying Nelly in his arms. I was at a loss for words. “Caleb and Nelly?” I heard Josh whisper.I threw a lot of questions at Caleb and he explained how he came across Nelly. Seeing them together only left me worried.I forcefully pulled Nelly from Caleb’s arms and asked him to leave. He was adamant but Josh also seconded my words.Holding Nelly, I returned into the house with Josh following closely.Nelly had a happy expression and the only person behind it was Caleb. I instructed him to run to his room while I paced restlessly in the sitting room.I was not

CALEB“Uncle, who was that man? Is he Nelly’s father? That woman is his mother, I have seen her several times at school” She said but I cleared my throat and started the car.“He is not Nelly’s father. Keep quiet.” I muttered.She looked at me via the rear mirror but I ignored her. I knew my words had nothing on her, she was still going to talk.“Why are you angry? It is just a question that needs a simple response.” Elena spoke confidently in the car.“If there is anything going on, why don’t you share it with me. A problem shared is half solved.” He muttered and I had to glance at her face. This girl was too wise for her age, she was just six for crying out loud!“There is no problem.” I managed to say. She touched my shoulder and said.“I feel there is a connection between you and Nelly that I can’t explain. I don’t believe that you don’t have a problem.” He went on and guilt of lying filled my mind.“Let me be, Elena. I have a lot on my mind, forget about this topic. She shrugged

CALEBI smiled as Nelly ran to embrace me. I saw the confusion in Elena’s gaze, she must be wondering how we knew each other.Elena approached us and she gazed at me before saying.“How did you know Nelly? And Nelly, how did you know my uncle?” She asked.“You mean he is your uncle! He is my friend.” Nelly smiled.“Elena is my niece. Nelly and I are best of friends. It’s so fortunate that you are also his friend, Elena.” I chuckled.Elena went on to explain that her and Nelly were classmates and once had a misunderstanding because of a crayon before they finally become friends.“That’s good.” She mumbled.“Who is coming to pick you?” I asked Nelly.“It should be Mom or Aunt Olivia.” He said and the thought of waiting for anyone who comes to pick him so that I can apologize for Laura’s ill behavior crossed my mind.“We can all stay together till any of them comes around.” I said.“That is a good idea, let’s get the ice-cream.” Elena said happily. I stood in the middle and held their

CALEB The next day, I woke up a bit late. After freshening up, I went downstairs and I was greeted by Laura who was arranging the table for breakfast.“Breakfast is ready.” She said softly. If I was to judge by her voice, I would have called her an angel but by character, she is far from that.I ignored her swollen eyes which were evidence that she had been crying.“Silas is around. Will he get food to eat?” I said and she nodded.“Yes, there's enough food that can go round.” She replied and I called him, notifying him that breakfast was ready.Soon, Silas joined us at the dining table. While I had eaten half my food, Silas was done eating.“I have to leave now so that I can change my clothes. Don't be late. I will see you at the office.” Silas uttered and left.“Can we talk about last night?” She began. How I wish she knew how much hatred I have for her because of her evil act. Can't she read one's mind? Bringing the topic up again was like adding gasoline to a fire.“No. I don't w
