Tonia, you are certainly a good girl. You indisputably tried your best, but God loves her more than you ever know, Mr. Badmus praised her."Your mom is proud of you, I'm sure even in death she still adores you, you did not let her down. You are an amazing daughter," Madam Florence ensured her.Tonia continued with her story, Mr. Jack noticed my movement, he drove gently behind me and packed beside me "get inside the car," he said. I ignored him and kept moving. He was angry at my actions, so he got down from his car and tightened my hands. Some passersby wanted to ask a question before they did. He already cleared the air "I am her uncle," he said with a broad smile on his face and he held me firm by my right wrist.There was a sac in my left hand that contained pieces of stuff like a stove, spoons, and plates. Since my mom and I always spent most of our days in the store, she created a space where we do all our cooking. We drove for two minutes, no one wanted to initiate the convers

Jack's resentment grew ten times stronger, he yanked me onto the bed. "Stubborn cat! I expressed love, kindness, and sincerity to you. Is this how you want to repay me?" Jack asked."I like your sincerity, but your kindness is a deadly one! I don't want either your love, kindness, or sincerity anymore. Leave me alone! Allow me to live on with my life!" I protested, I planned to piss him off, that he would be irritated by my sight.Mr. Jack raised his hands to slap me, luckily for me he smacked the hand on the wall, and the whole room trembled. If the slap had hit me on the face, I would wake up in the nearby hospital."Stubborn cat! I won't lay a finger on you, but before I let you go, I will make you regret today that you looked down on my kindness," Jack posed a threat to my life.Tick-tock says the time, Mr. Jack paced round the room, I believed he was carefully structuring how to deal with me. He went to his cabinet, I don't know what he was doing anyways but when he was done, he

"I love the softness of your body! Mr. Jack sighed. Tell me what you want, I mean anywhere in the universe you desire to be, and I will take you there dear," Jack invited."You still haven't got it?" I don't know how I managed to let the word out of my mouth, I was literally thinking in my mind nothing knowing I would be heard out by Jack."Get what stubborn cat?" Mr. Jack inquired. I knew things would get sore if I should tell him that; the only place I cherish to be right now is my home. I needed to make it look real like I desire nowhere else.Growing up with my late mother, I don't have any lofty dreams. I only wished to live together with my mother, go to school and come out with the best grades and find a reputable organization to work with. Building up a new family is not part of my dream. I blamed my parents for falling for one another, and I told myself that I won't fall in love as my parents did. Fighting against all odds to be together in the end they were separated by dea
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty One
Shortly after I was done eating the noodles, I nudged back to bed. Eventually, I woke up around 7:30 in the morning. I expected that the room service would come around and I would take hold of the opportunity to sneak out of the hotel. I was cautious from the time that I woke up till noon and nobody came. I refused to switch on the television so I could hear steps at once. As I didn't see anybody I concluded that it must be Jack's order. On second thought, I assumed it might be how the hotel operates.Though, the wardrobe has over five bed covers for change and three large blankets. I made an effort to dial Mr. Jack's number but it was not going through. I went to the kitchen to make tea and scrambled eggs and took four loaves of bread. The kitchen has everything one needs to survive for a month even.I can eat as I want, watch the television, sleep and wake at anything but my movement is limited to this room only, here is no different from a prison. You don't need to commit a grievo
FACELESS FUTURE Twenty Two
"When did you find out that you are pregnant?" Madam Florence raised a question.It was a few weeks ago. I was feeling sick repeatedly, I assumed it was the difficulty of the work I engaged myself in. Since the death of my mother, no help from anyone. I often visit people's houses and ask if they have any dirty clothes, I wash to get paid. The little I earned from it, I spent on my day-to-day feeding, it's better off than stealing.When I was feeling sick, I rushed to get Paracetamol at a nearby pharmacy. I only feel a bit relieved for short periods. After a while, the uneasy feeling resurfaced.One afternoon, I was on my way to get the usual paracetamol, and I stumbled on Dr. Alex, he was one of the doctors that gave attention to my mom at wuse hospital. He recognized me at once."Tonia, sorry about your mom's death. As doctors we tried our best," Dr. Alex confessed."Thanks, I knew you all tried everything within your span to keep her alive but death is stronger than us. She's resti

Jack expected me to repeat what I disclosed before. I knew very well the baby belonged to him, ever since the day that Jack forcefully laid himself on me, I got irked at the view of any man. No other person knew the color of my panties save Jack."It was confirmed by the hospital that I am pregnant with your child," I shouted out loud enough for him to hear."Tonia, you are joking right now?" A ridiculous question Jack asked."Why do I call to see urgently? If I don't have something as important as life to discuss with you, I wouldn't have pushed back on my words," I simply let him know.He howled, "What did you intend to gain from me with this pregnancy?" I could not believe what I had just heard. Did I ever say I wanted to be seen with him? I questioned why my belly allowed his seed to grow inside me."Jack, I didn't get myself pregnant, you did! Stop switching the blame on me. If you hadn't tipped me off with an aphrodisiac, we wouldn't be having this conversation, blame yourself

Tonia bolted the door from behind instantly as she succeeded in sending Simon away. She sat on the floor beside her plate of Amala. She was hungry but she chose to open the envelope first. She screamed out of fear and lost her appetite after she read the letter."Tonia! It's not a mistake that I nicknamed you a stubborn cat, I will advise you not to prove stubborn with me."Don't you ever think that you can run away from me forever. I know your house and I can track you down any day if you attempt to play smart with me."I gave you a reasonable amount to flush out whatever that you said is growing in your belly, don't you dare think to pin me down with it, you've got the wrong person."I'd search for you and kill you with my hands, the day you think of creating any scandal for me.

Watch your steps!!!"This was the letter
