The doorbell rang for the third time, but Renata was in the room, struggling with the strap of her handbag.

“Coming,” she yelled, her hand searching the bed for any valuable items before she eventually left for the hospital for her appointed checkup.

The bell rang again, this time making her let out a deep sigh. She threw her bag on the bed and raced down the steps leading to the living room door.

“Who might it be?” Her hand held the doorknob and she turned it slowly.

“Good day, madam,” the young man standing before her, dressed in a blue shirt and black pants smiled at her. He was from the nearby dispatch company, which was popular in the locality.

He stretched out a brown envelope to her, she hesitated for a while, her eyes assessing the young man and wondering what might be inside the envelope.

She eventually took the envelope from him but she turned it to search for a name written on it, but she saw nothing.

“Who is this from?” She arched a brow as she asked.

    Tears welled up in her eyes, her shaky hands covered her ears as she stared at the screen of her laptop with a mixture of rage and disgust.The more she cried, the moans from the video drummed against her eardrums making her shake like a lone leaf in winter.“Oh, my God!” She fell to the floor, holding her chest as the tears caught in her throat.She had seen her world shatter before, but this only brought fresh betrayal upon her. Never would she have imagined that Constanza would have been wrapped intimately in Domingo’s strong arms.She really didn’t want to care about how he fucked her, but it was almost inevitable not to watch. He fucked Constanza really well and that made her rage with jealousy.Had he been cheating on her with Constanza all this time?Since the day she announced to them that the case of 2010 had been reopened, she had always tried to see reasons why Domingo shouldn’t be punished alongside Constanza and Santiago, she couldn’t tell why she felt so much attraction

  • IN BED WITH THE FATHER   Chapter 67

    A week passed by slowly. Renata switched hotels almost every day because of the anonymous threat letters, calls, and texts she received from time to time.This was all because she had requested that the case of 2010, involving the death of her parents be reopened.The court hearing had been slated for next month, and she couldn’t wait any longer for the day to come. She couldn’t deny the unsettling feeling rooted deep in her heart.Every night, she woke up with her nightgown and bedsheets drenched in sweat. Her breath laboured every time she woke up startled by the recurring nightmares.She couldn’t make out anything out of those nightmares even when they were just the same every time and this made her scared each time she found herself drifting to sleep.The gory images of that night flashed through her mind as she stood before the wash hand basin in the bathroom. “Stop!” She screamed, burying her face in her hands.“Stop… stop, please,” she whispered, breaking down in tears.In tho

    It was 9:10 in the morning and none of them was at the location she had sent out to them. Didn’t they get the message? She sat in the backseat of the cab, her eyes darting around when a car drove past or cornered the shopping mall.Her phone was in her hands but it was still switched off. She wasn’t ready to put it back, all she had to do was wait for an extra hour to make sure she didn’t leave before they arrived.She nodded to the country music which played on the radio, but right now she had given up on any of them showing up.“It’s 10:15 ma’am. Do you still want to wait?” The driver asked looking at the road ahead.Renata let out a deep sigh. She sat up from her reclined position.“I doubt if they will show up. Let’s leave,” she said.The car began to move, they were about to drive out of the gates of the estate when a car drove past them, but she recognized the car almost immediately.“Stop the car,” she turned to look at the car that drove past.“I think someone might have show

    When Renata got to Domingo’s house, she began to clear out her bags and everything that belonged to her that she could lay her hands on.As she stuffed her clothes into the box, she couldn’t stop crying. Everything was so overwhelming, it was from one bad news to the other… no space in between for a fresh breath.It felt as if her world was being ripped apart by the same people whom she had run to for solace some years ago.Now she regretted the day she met Constanza at the orphanage and agreed foolishly to let the same woman who killed her parents take her in.Not only that… she also went ahead and married her son, whom she controlled like he was some toddler.To make matters even worse, she settled for her ex-husband.“Argggh!” She cried out. She trashed the clothes in her hands to the floor, her knees buckled and gave way, and she fell to the floor sobbing furiously.“I’m so sorry… mum, dad… I’m very sorry.” She gave her chest a good squeeze as it ached while she cried.After what

    “Please… Constanza wants to take him away from me,” Nina continued to plead.Renata couldn’t hold the tears back any longer. She kicked Nina away from holding her legs and she ran through the park and crossed the busy road.She flagged down a taxi and hurriedly entered without sparing her best friend a glance.“Please just drive,” she said to the driver who turned to look at her, wondering why she was crying.The driver drove off quietly. He would steal glances at her from the rearview mirror, he had to adjust it to look at her face at some point.“Are you okay, Ma’am?” He asked, looking at her through the mirror.She didn’t reply. She only stared out the window, the tears pouring no matter how she tried to sniff them back.“Please stop the car,” she tapped the headrest of the driver.The driver obeyed and stopped the car. From the car’s compartment, he took out a small box of tissues and handed it over to her.“I can step out if you want,” he smiled at her.“Thank you,” she mumbled.

    Nina looked over her shoulder a thousand times as she made sure no one was watching her.She searched for her phone in her bag which was on the table. Her hands trembled as she took out the phone and redialed Renata’s number.The phone rang on the other end, but Renata didn’t pick up the call. Just then, the waitress walked up to where she sat with a paper in her hand.“Excuse me, Ma’am. What would you like to have?” She smiled at Nina who shook her head without raising her eyes to see who was talking to her.“Nothing, I’m fine.” She mumbled, still with her head down and her eyes sharp and wandering.The backlight of her phone came on and it was Renata. She sent a text telling Nina that some men were watching her and that she needed to leave the cafe immediately, but to act naturally.She grabbed her bag, holding it tightly she walked slowly to the door, but through the corner of her eyes she could see the men staring at her intently.She walked out naturally as Renata had instructed.
