CHAPTER TWENTY THREEIt was evening and everywhere was cold. Isabella had dropped from a taxi and looked around widly. The environment seemed so serene, and she loved the smell from the gardens. It was a bursting rows of purple hibiscus and bougainvillea, and they appealed mostly to her. She had grown up admiring flowers in the way that her sister did. Their father had once worked as a Gardener before he ventured into ranching. They were lovers of flowers. She had wondered if this place was really the house of Jasmine. It seemed quite beautiful and peaceful. The modest houses where families found their peace but he stayed alone. She had delivered this thought to her mind, to make sense out of all she had said.She removed the paper from her bag which she had written the address. It was similar and her expression was awe. It didn't seem quite true to her because many things ran through her head. Isabella thought about how he could afford this luxurious house and the th
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR'I felt so worried yesterday''What's wrong darling?He looked scarily into her eyes. They were still naked on the bed, but the blanket had covered a large portion of her body. Leo still looked at her, wondering if she was in a roundabout way talking about how he had sneaked into her room and had his way with her. He was calm and quiet, wondering where she was directing her worries to.'I followed Isabella yesterday''It remains a secret, I saw a man who clasped her hands into a corner''You followed me with your eyes''Yeah I just did, but didn't know what they did afterwards''Do you know who I saw''You know dear, I mean you worry much. It could have been an old school Friend'.'Really, I saw the man who tried to kill you that day:'Wait! You mean the guy that kidnapped you''Yes' 'Wait! What could she be doing with Isabella'Clara had come into recognition after she had exposed her sister. She was being over protective. She quickly diverted the topic and he wa
PROLOGUE'Why on earth is this place so dark?'Clara gently stripped herself naked while her black brassiere, pants wrestled from her broad shoulders and swirled downwards to the position of her knees; until it landed safely on the ground. She gasped slowly trying to catch her breath but she felt breathless still. Darkness was already forming tingly around her even though it was still early.Clara felt so heavy, so oppressive with the dark that she angrily flung the towel carelessly to the other end. It was her personal obsession with darkness. She felt something hit her feet, it was her stomach, she was also hungry but preferred to stay with only water maintaining her diet for the morning. She stood lazily beside the bathtub. Her eyes crawling all over the room trying to find something reasonable perhaps the switch to brighten the dark room. She did and the electric bulb at the top cast a soft glow on her face. Clara layed naked. Her white large breasts covered by the bobbling soap
CHAPTER TWOThe morning sun rays reflected through the front window of Clara's room to the pink coloured walls that also had a splash of red and blue paints. The breeze was warm and gentle; that the curtains were raised from time to time until it finally hung on the cliff. Isabella gazed through the window and saw the outward gardern that were decorated by borders of bustling rose flowers, purple hibiscus, boungaivillea and others. Women waking with children by their side holding hands, some with babies thrusted on thier breast as she narrowed her eyes. She had now seen those early smiles fled from the face of her elder sister, Clara.Clara still leaned back against the wall,her eyes closed, fighting for control over her feelings. She closed her eyes from time to time, and whenever she opened them, she saw him. It was difficult to think a minute, without Leo's face, clouding into her mind. It made her feel more crazy that she had fallen in love with him.Isabella have been talking f
CHAPTER THREEThe morning was rather cold but Leo wondered why he felt so uneasy. The event of the previous day flashed across his mind but he had chosen to discard those dark feelings that something worse could happen afterwards. Leo was ready to let go of the past and embrace reality, with intentions of his true lover, Clara. He had invited her for an interview as a maid. Leo found this as a perfect opportunity to tell her his true feelings. He tied his towel around his waist and walked towards the bathroom, feeling obviously hopeful and as he made few steps to enter; Isabella pressed the door bells waiting eagerly for Leo. A rose flower clasped tightly by her hands which folded backward. Leo heard the dying sounds of the door bell, that went on continually, until he decided to walk towards the door. When he opened the door, his face and hands froze, while his eyes still winked strangely. It was Isabella he saw in a daze. She kissed Leo deeply on his cheek, still with her hands
CHAPTER FOURLeo couldn't sleep in his quiet room as his eyes slowly opened to a celling with white tiles; his body felt heavy with sleep but his mind was still filled with images of Clara's face. He stood up from the bed, and went into the bathroom to wash his face, and when he returned he took off his shoes and clothes, and changed into his pajamas propping backwards on his bed. A bright smile sprawled around his face.He curled slowly under his blanket, pushing the pillow tightly to his breast and folding his legs together. Leo felt that he was holding Clara tightly to himself and wouldn't let her go. All through the night, he had been dreaming about Clara, caresssing and squeezing the pillow, with a smile to support the rousing feeling. He had slept late into the night and was hoping to have a quiet morning when he would wake early. He was still mumbling words to himself in his sleep_kissing_with lips running into a void, until he heard Nanny Divine calling his name continuously.
CHAPTER FIVE Isabella sat at the back seat of the taxi, gazing into the dark streets, through the window after she screwed it down just few minutes. It was evening. She could feel the cool breeze rushing into her face, as she looked outside. it was always cold at night especially around the college environment she is just one hour near. She often wondered if it was only felt by her, because other people around her barely complained. She sighed heavily and looked across to the driver through the rear view mirror, and stared at him for a while. He has been talking for a while, but her phone distracted her all along.It was completely switched off which gave her the privelge to listen intently to what he said. His discussion seemed of interest to her, even though he was talking to the passenger that sat closely beside him.'I love my wife so much,but another lady is in my life, budding me' The driver expressed heartily. 'What will you do? The passenger questioned.'I just don't know, I
CHAPTER SIXIsabella returned home looking tired. She flunged her bag violently towards the direction of a chair that occupied a void space within and as she stood for a while staring at a distant nothing, her eyes were unfocused and glazed. Her whole body was wet and her breast starined slightly across the white shirt. As she reached out to the towel to dry her hair, her feet felt heavy on the ground. Her back propped up by the cushion, legs stretched, and her head thinking deeply on how to execute her plans with Jasmine. The fans were whirling slowly in the ceiling and she could also feel the cool breeze. The bright bulb dangled from the celling, it cast a long shadow on the wall. Clara dashed out from the room when she heard Isabella footsteps. She was already relaxed on the chair with a towel laced tightly around her hair. 'Oh darling, you're back, you would have gone through a lot''Surely' She was brisk with her words and Clara wondered if she had o
