Chapter 1

Prologue

Sophia Moore endearing as a young girl, was an only child who grew under the shelter and protection of her tender parents.

Sophia knew nothing of the world other than the immense love she was showered. Her parents, Bernard and Cecilia Moore were well educated and working class. They met themselves during an interview for an internship and both fell in love immediately and their love story began. Those two loved each other so much, they were like the two sides of a coin, so inseparable, and wanted nothing more than a happy home and life for their daughter.

But tragedy struck...

Cecilia was diagnosed with Breast cancer. The news tore her happy home apart. Bernard loved his wife so much that the thought of losing her distressed him, But he had to be strong for her sake and their young daughters' sake. So they kept the situation hidden from Sophia to keep her from trauma.

Their finances were running low yet Cecelia wasn't responding to treatment but her husband wasn't deterred, he went to loan sharks who helped him out. 

He gave his all and still was giving but fate had other intentions. Cecelia gave up few weeks to Christmas with her husband and daughter beside her.

Sophia in hysteria attempted to mangle herself with anything she saw fit but with the help of people around, she was saved.

Her father Bernard was in his reverie. He sat stupefied by the sheer reality of everything going on. His beautiful, loving wife lay on the bed quite warm with a quirky smile on her livid bony face while his daughter was in hysteria all because she was taken by surprise at the news that her mother was about to die. 

Surprisingly he wasn't overreacting as he thought would. But he knew in his heart that subsequent Christmas would never be the same. It would never radiate energy as it did when his wife was alive. 

He could hear people's voices echo from afar and their distinct worry-etched faces blurry to his vision yet he sat still and collected, a ticking time bomb about to be set off.

And that was how Bernard sat with his body present and mind in whirlwind shutting out the world and himself from his pain and reality.

Sean, Jason, and Mason were lucky enough to have made it inside the cubicle without much stress. Mason was a high school classmate with the singer, which made it easier for the trio to enter. In the meantime they were being entertained by patoranking, he was doing a freestyle reggae for them while they listened with rapt attention. While he was on it, Jason kept texting Charlotte and her.

Jason turned and twisted weary, he couldn't sleep. Even with the cold weather outside, he was still sweating profusely on his king-sized bed. With firm resolve, he got off the bed,illuminating his room, he entered his bathroom thinking how much he needed the cold shower. Fighting so hard to forget that his psyche has been ruined because of the late-night incident as he preferred to call it in his head. His greatest fear was if the victim was dead. He'd be a murderer, a heartless one. Jason knew he couldn't stomach such truth, Sean, too. But Sean had done well to relinquish the blame on both of them promising Jason that the victim was collapsed and their impulsive decision to flee the scene was the best. Jason knew keenly a part of his mind didn't believe that sorry excuse but he needed pacifying at the moment and Sean did. Once he was done he wrapped his

Chapter 6
The office was small for a consultant like Dr. Simon or was it so because of many properties like the bookshelf by the window side containing medical books of different sizes and colors. Maureen looked around her, files were packed on the floor away from trespassing while some on his desk were scattered and rumpled. By her left where the trashcan sat filled with wastepaper and disposed of pieces of equipment, a rickety standing fan rotating at an angle one-eighty constantly blowing hot air. Maureen sighed, wondering why an office would be so disorganized. "Weren't doctors supposed to be well organized and neat?" She imagined it was the problem federal hospitals in Nigeria suffered. Low maintenance.And the doctors and nurses were underpaid. Thereby taking out their bitter frustrations on the patients. She wondered what exactly was taking the old man his time, she'd been sitting around for minute

They weren't the best of collabo as friends advised but they tried hard to keep the relationship alive with so much hard work and sacrifices which brought them here today. He smiled.
