Chapter 25 Poisoned ...Robert... I tried to get some sleep but each time I closed my eyes, Melissa's face flashed in front of me and I found my self waking up, Losing her was one the hardest things I had to endure, I missed her so much, I thought of ways I could have prevented the accident from happening but knew there was no way I could have known. The night was the most difficult part of my day, with nothing to do, my thoughts would be filled with her and the guilt was just too much, I now understood why Sally said she blamed herself after losing her parents, it was easier to blame and hate yourself than accepting that there was no way I would have known. I sat up in bed unable to sleep, after a few seconds, I decided to go and check on Sally, it had rather become a habit, I would go there every night to check up on her just to make sure my baby was okay. The baby she was carrying was the only thing that gave me the zeal to go on, knowing I would be a Dad and would have some
Chapter 26LUCAS'S AFFAIRS..Lucas...After the incident with Sally, I went back to my room and laid on the bed filled with contentment.Yes, I was glad that I got to find out that Robert cared about his child that much,Now I knew his weak points and were to hit him when the right time came. The poison I had put in Sally's food wasn't that dangerous, I wasn't planing on killing her just yet, something about that woman had fascinated me, maybe it was because of how innocent she looked or perhaps I felt sorry for her because I knew how it felt to be caught up in this family, whatever it was, she was lucky because I was interested in her.I was disturbed when I heard a knock on the door, I stood up wondering who would come to my room at this time of the night. When I opened the door, Grace entered my room and closed the door behind surprising me,"What are you doing here?" I asked irritated"I couldn't sleep especially after what happened to Sally" Grace replied as she went over to my be
Chapter 27THE GAME OF A CAT AND TWO MOUSE...Lucas...The next morning, I was woken up by the loud ringing of my cellphone,I stared at the screen as a wave of irritation washed over me, Grace was calling, I let out a low curse and answered the call."Grace, why are you calling this early?" I asked my eyes briefly staring at the wall clock"Am missing school today, I want to see you at our usual place" Grace said, by the sound of her voice, she seemed to be Still upset over what happened in the early hours"Can't it wait, I have some plans today" I said"It cant wait, its about the baby" she replied, upon hearing that, I quickly sat up in bed alerted"What's wrong with the baby?" I asked anxiously"Come to our usual hotel, I can't talk about this over the phone" Grace then hang up the call leaving me with endless questions on what could have happened.I eventually got out of bed and went to take a quick shower, afterwards, I made my way to the hotel passing through a cafe for a quick
Chapter 28MOVING OUT...sally...Has a beam of light shined on my face making me feel like I was sun bathing, I slowly opened my eyes and immediately closed them when the light from the window blinded my vision,I heard someone stand and close the curtains and immediately opened my eyes to a much darker room,"Robert" I said in surprise as i noticed him standing at the window side his attention on me."How are you feeling?" He asked, I sat up holding my stomach before looking at my legs that where still in bondages"Am fine, what happened?" I asked, the last thing I remembered was falling off from the bed after experiencing a very sharp pain in my stomach"Who served you the food you ate last night?" Robert asked"I don't know, I thought you are the one who brought it" I said remembering how I was grateful that he had brought food to my room"I did not, that food was poisoned. You are lucky I found you just in time or you would have died" he explained surprising me"Poisoned?, why and
Chapter 29CAUGHT ON CAMERA...Sally...After Lucas left, Doctor Crown stood beside me,"I see you are getting familiar with the family" she said,"Do i have another choice. Shouldn't you be telling me who poisoned me yesterday?" I knew I sounded rude compared to how I always act but this whole issue was disturbing me."I fired all the maids and had them arrested until they say who brought the food to your room" she answeared suprising me, I felt a little sad that the ones that were innocent had to pay for it as well. Working three part times jobs plus taking care of Rita made me sympathetic,"But the maids, surely they wouldn't just wake up and decide to kill me, what is really happening in this family, will you tell me who is after me or will i be here expecting to die unexpectedly?" I asked, if this family had an enemy, the least they could do is tell me who it was so I could be cautious"Its complicated Sally, but not to worry, am sure Robert told you that you are moving out with h
Chapter 30 ...Sally... The place Robert bought was a condo on the second floor of a tall building, upon entering inside, I was left in awe at how beautiful and huge it was, I noticed there were new set of furniture and realized he had fixed the place just so we could be comfortable, "you like it?" He asked, of course I did, these where the sort of houses I only saw on t.v or cleaned at my other part time job "Yes, its lovely" I said, Robert wheeled me around the house and showed me to my room, "Since you won't be able to cook in the condition you are in, I hired a maid who will report here every morning to cook and clean and help you out with basic needs" he explained, for a moment, I felt perhaps Leaving with Robert wouldn't be such a bad idea after all. After leading me to my room, Robert's phone rang and he excused himself and walked out of the room, I took the chance to look around the massive bedroom with a queen sized bed, a walk in closet, bathroom and toilet and a balcony
Chapter 31SCHOOL....Sally...The first week of leaving with Robert had gone by very quicky, though him and I leaved like strangers most of the time, he was very thoughtful and made me feel comfortable whenever he could, he stayed home when he wasn't at his hospital and helped with basic needs like preparing my medicine and bath.By the beginning of the second week, I was my in my room laying on the bed playing with my phone when I heard a knock on the door, "come in" I responded and Robert walked in with a form in his hands,I immediately wondered what it was but waited for him to tell me,Robert handed me the papers and as I opened them, I was left in a state of shock,"You are to start attending your studies tomorrow or the day after" he announced, I felt my eyes water as i looked at the papers again, this was not only the best university in town but I had tried to get a scholarship before but failed to do so, I looked up from the papers blinking away tears "Robert, I don't know
Chapter 32BIRTHDAY PARTY...LUCAS..."Tomorrow is your birthday, do you have anything special planned out?" I asked Diana as I robbed her back softly making her moan in delight"Just the usual party, did you have something in mind?" She asked, "No, what would you like me to get for you?" I asked"Let me see, how about you surprise me honey?" I thought for a few seconds what I would actually get her but decided I would find something soon, in the meantime, I had an urgent matter at hand"How about we elope and have our own honeymoon?" I suggested making her laugh"Joshua is getting married in the next two weeks" I then said changing the topic, Diana turned to face me surprised"What, how come no one knows, David didnt mention this, am sure father isn't even aware" she said, Joshua was Uncle David's first son, I knew telling Diana this information would ruin Uncle David's plans but in this family, one had to stick to himself"I recently found out as well" I said, Diana seemed disturbe
