Bags are flying out from the windows and doors. Clothes are on the floor openly displaying in the yard, loud screams and shouts are being heard, and all the neighbors are outside in the streets asking each other what is going on in the Arthur’s Bungalow in Seaview.
"Get the hell out of my house and my life, you whore, you prostitute, after everything this is my payment huh, I will never forgive you for this, never”
Veins were bulging out from his forehead and neck, eyes red, hands shaking, his heart breaking, he was restraining himself from hitting her but she was making his anger rise with each second by making that face and with those tears streaming down, such an actress he will not be fooled by her anymore.
“Why are you doing this to me, why those accusing words George, please let talk about this quietly"
Her knees were sore from kneeling all day, she knew she had made a mistake but his accusations are too far wrong.
“Am begging you to calm down, let me explain and you will know all, it not what you think please, they were just my friends, our helpers”
His eyes snapped so fast to those words she was spitting out, rage clouded his eyes and the first slap landed on her cheek, making her fall on her back, she got up hurriedly and climb the stairs, her eyes on the bedroom door. He dashed after her and caught her by seconds as she was closing the door.
” What did you want to do, lock me out from my own room, my home, you are the outsider, you should leave”
He lifted her up, nearing the door out of the bedroom, she struggles in his arms.
” George listen to me, it not what you think, I didn’t do anything wrong, I just wanted to help, they promise to help and they have been fulfilling it”
Her pleas fell on George’s deaf eyes. He know what he saw and he will never believe his wife over his own eyes. She was spread on a table and two guys were having their way with her whilst the other men watched on, her eyes were not closed meaning she was fully aware of what was happening around her, Moans filled the room and the scent of sex was so strong that even he became slightly aroused but as his eyes laid on the woman’s face, all his body weaken, his heart stopped beating, the trust and respect he had for his beloved wife was all gone in that instant. He truly wished it was not his wife when he read that suspicious note stamped on his car explaining his wife’s huge appetite with strange men, he prayed to God not to be so cruel to them after all these years of bliss and happiness but it seems today the devil was on duty.
”Friends” He was shocked that she could even say such words at a time like this.
”Levi did I hear you just say friends, do you know how it sounds like, how you look like at this moment, you are unbelievable, we are married for Christ sake, we have a daughter, we were happy why did you do this to our family, what did I not do right that you could not tell me but to lower yourself to that position, did you think about how it will affect us, or the families”
”We are still happy George nothing has changed, please I know I was wrong for not telling you sooner that I was meeting them but understand me, we needed their help, I had to help them to solve our issue, it was life or death and I could not just stand by and let my family suffer when I can lend a hand to ease the burdens”
To say George was bewildered was an understatement he was petrified, who is this woman and where did his sweet innocent wife who was so shy to even receive a peck on the cheek in public run off to. He stared deep into her eyes and it was crystal pure with no stain of deceit like she was telling the truth, he wanted to believe her more than anything but what he saw cannot be undone. He shooked his head to hush the voices speaking to him but they were not leaving until he does what they want him to do. He was exhausted and could not handle this betrayal, pain and disgrace. He had to end it all and end it now. Something in his mind clicked, the voices in his head praise him and he turned, pulled her into his arms, kissed her slowly and whispered into her ears
“I understand my dear, I understand now what you were trying to say, am sorry for causing a scene, forgive me ok, I got a little jealous”
She heave a sigh of relief and smiled so beautifully” Do not worry George, I knew if I pushed harder you will realize everything from my point of view, thank you my love”
”Let me get your favorite wine, let celebrate the reunion”
He got up and helped Levi up too, he hugged her tightly and told her to wait for him in the bedroom, he got out of the room and headed to his study, he pulled the draw to reveal his intention, he wrapped his hand tightly around the gun, stuffed it behind his trouser and lifted the shirt to hid it, the bottle of black ram whisky was gulped down his throat in full force, he made his walk back to his wife staggering along the way. He opened the door and there she stood watching the sun set with her back to him, the love of his life, old memories flashed into his eyes from their love at first sight to their first night together, everything was perfect, well to him is was but to her, he assume it was because he was what was available at that moment. He sobs silently in his head as a man he could not please his woman and she had to seek help outside, and that thought killed him, if he had been better maybe just maybe she would not have done it, sleep with them to secure his job and save him from bankruptcy, because of him, his wife degraded herself lower than a whore to save their face from being kicked out onto the streets to starve. He failed her, he failed them. But he will set everything right, he has to for her future, he has to bury this deep to save his daughter from being alienated by society.
Sirens were heard approaching the Arthur’s Bungalow, medics’ race inside with the police behind them, after calls were made to them about gun shots in the building. Forensic were seen around, yellow tape was wrapped around the bungalow bold words on it
”DO NOT CROSS, CRIME SCENE”
” Time of death”

14 years Vivian stood there wearing a black dress watching as the two coffins descend into the endless dark pit. She did not know what happen for both of her parents to die but from what she had heard through the whispers of her family members, her mother was the cause of all this. She destroyed their family, she took Dad with her too and left her alone, why did she do that to them?Why did she not take her too?Was she that unbearable to her?Did she think about her future at all?She was hurt deeply but she will never shed any tears for anyone, they both left her alone and she will leave her life to the fullest and show them she can survive. The sky lost it blue to the black clouds, it darken the whole city and released cracks of lighting.The weather was so cold like the deepest oceans, rains made itself know to the world and attacked ferociously yet she stood and watch on.”Vivian get out of the rain, you will catch a cold” She took her first step from the burial ground, turned an
Morning came and skies were shining gracefully, the family were gathered in the living room with the lawyers of George and Levi Arthur, everyone’s eyes was on young Vivian, unknown to her but this moment here determines her foes and friends, and with her decision her future. ”Before we start this reading, we would like to know who will take in the young Vivian, if it was up to us we would suggest the girl’s Grandmother but She lives in the village and by moving the girl to the village, her education will be messed up, and again she is old and Vivian needs lot of care and attention, as her parents attorneys we want the best for her and her wellbeing.” ” We have thought about it and we agree with you on the matter” ”That is great, mmm so who is the Guardian if we may ask” ”We have not reached there yet, a lot of my family want to raise her and it has become hard to decide, but if you can give us the next thirty minutes , you will get your answer” ”Ok then, we will wait” The lawyers
News came from the Hospital that Grandma Lily has slipped into a coma and the family were down casted but still Vivian needed a home and this was causing a huge issue in the house, majority of the relatives were sticking to Grandma Lily’s wish to have Vivian stay with Grace but then the others were saying the little girl made her choice and that was what they will follow. The lawyers were having a headache and so they chose to go with Vivian’s decision because if they force her to go to Grace and something happens to her, what then but they have forgotten that she is just a child and can be swayed to the wrong side easily. Nicholas and Mica were granted guardianship over young Vivian, they signed the legal papers and the rest of the family were asked to leave the room. The Lawyers started to read the will of George to the couple and they were happy at the beginning but through the reading their faces changed from thrilled to angry. “What, is that all the assets my brother has, no you
“Thief, thief I know you stole it, now if you do not give it back to me all hell will break loose“ “Aunty, please I did not take anything I swear it “ “Liar, you are a liar and a whore just like your dead mother, I know you have taken it and I want it back“ Clothes were being forcefully removed and torn to the eyes of the squatters. A young teenage girl was being beaten, her clothes being ripped from her skinny self, her tears running down her cheeks and blood dripping from her mouth. She had scars all over her body. She looked and smelled like death himself. All her pleas feel to deaf ears as she was being beaten with an iron rod over and over again. “Mica, what the hell are you doing huh, get off her“ Nicholas pulled his wife off the poor girl who was trying to cover her naked body with the rags of clothes but it barely did the job. “What sort of nonsense is this Mica, how dare you lay a hand of her, what is the matter with you“ “Get your filthy hands off me, get them off, you
“Are you ok dear” Nicholas ask his niece who looked broken and tattered beyond recognition“Am fine uncle, Aunty hates me “Vivian cried out loud“Do not say that““But it true, I have tried to make her like me but she detest me, she dislike me why uncle, what have I done to her““Do not mind her, will talk to her later ok now go and clean up “From a daddy’s angel who had the world at her feet to a teenager who is now living in the slum has been very hard for Vivian to adjust but she did and in a fast pace too. She tried to help in any possible way she could, hawking, stealing or washing clothes for her neighbors to put food on the table, she wanted her aunty to like her at least but Mica was not seeing her effort, she still dreams of the emerald jeweled mansion, the latest cars, the parties she threw and dance to her heart content, the expensive wine and the exotic foods she had at her disposal but now it just a memory and she would not have it, she has to escape this nightmare and
“Hey, are you ok little girl can you hear me““Who are you calling little““What““I said who are you calling little, pipsqueak““You are a feisty one, aren’t you““Go away, do not make me get up there““And how are you getting up here if I may ask, you are struck are you not““No am not, go away““Ok then, have a loving day, little one“Alex laughed in his head, what kind of a girl is this, she is too prideful to ask for help but he wanted to see how this will turn out. He hid himself behind a wall and watched as she struggled to get free from her entrapment. Frustrated he walked to her and help her get freed.“Put me back, I can do it myself““Really, you have been down here for close to an hour now““I do not care, just put me back I did not ask for your help““You are just unbearable, a simple thank you will be good““I do not have the energy to say that word besides I told you I could do it, if you had only minded your business, now excuse me“She pushed pass him and Alex was int
The town is quiet than usual that night. Shops, restaurants and night clubs are all shut down. The streets barren of any living or supernatural entity. The moon changed it color to red, lives will be taken this night, blood will be slipped and the future of the country will be decided. Even Anubis is on the edge as his hands will be full of souls to take to the underworld. Most billionaires and CEO’s have travel out of the country to hide, some with their families are in their safe rooms designed under their homes completely secured and well stocked , few are supporting the war with their money but too afraid to make themselves known. The two great families are at war and no one wants to be caught in the cross fire. “George do you think this is a good idea, innocent people lives will be at risk“ “There is no such thing as innocent in this world you of all people should know that, do not worry dear this has long been overdue, if we do not act , it will affect our next bloodline“ “The
Inside a Mercedes Benz in front of Motel Flamingo, a man was on the phone having a heated conversation. He ended the call and within a few minutes a woman got out from one of the rooms and approached the car in a hurry. She knocked and waited patiently to be invited in. The window glass was lowered. She heard a clicked sound before she opened the car and sat down, the window glass was sealed back up again. She turned to look at the man’s face but her eyes rested on her thigh. The tension she felt coming from him was suffocating making breathing very difficult for her to do.“Are you toying with me “he spoke slowly, anger laced in his tone, he was annoyed and pissed making him very frightening? “No Ray, I will not do that to you, we are grateful for everything you have done for us“ She replied with a slow and forgiving voice “Then why the wait“ “I just need more time to prepare her……..“ “To hell with you" Ray chuckled "Time, did you say time. I have been paying outrageous bills from
