THE PRICE OF SILENCE.

The hospital corridors were really dark at this time, with only some weak lights on. These lights were like the ones you find in offices. They kept flickering every few seconds. It was like they were tired too. Liam walked into St. Augustine's hospital through the sliding doors. He was walking fast. Quietly, like he was being chased by something that nobody else could see.

    THE PRICE OF SILENCE.The hospital corridors were really dark at this time, with only some weak lights on. These lights were like the ones you find in offices. They kept flickering every few seconds. It was like they were tired too. Liam walked into St. Augustine's hospital through the sliding doors. He was walking fast. Quietly, like he was being chased by something that nobody else could see. His eyes were moving around, looking at the desk where people check in, the chairs where people wait for the elevator, and the hallway that goes to the ICU. It was like he was counting how many people were around.He pulled his jacket up higher even though it was not cold outside. This was something he always did because he was used to hiding from cameras and people who might ask him questions. He did not want to be noticed because that could ruin everything he had worked for in secret.The nurse saw him before he saw her. She was standing near the machine that sells snacks with her arms crosse

  • LOVE CANNOT SURVIVE WHERE CONTROL EXISTS    CHAPTER SIX: THE LIE THAT BLED. SOPHIA'S POV.

    Sophia stared at the text on her phone until the words became a mess. “Adrian is dead.”She could not believe what she was reading. Her thumb hovered over the screen, refusing to accept what her eyes kept telling her. She read it again and again, hoping it was some mistake. Her knees gave way. She caught herself against the doorframe, the phone slipping from her fingers and falling to the floor. Luckily for her,the phone was not smashed.Adrian was dead, the man who had threatened her and dragged her into corners. The man who had fought with Liam hours ago to defend her was now dead. Sophia did not understand why her chest felt so tight. It's unlike her. She told herself it was a shock, that is all. Not sadness, not for Adrian Calloway. Not after everything he made her go through. It can never be.Then she thought of Theo and something inside her broke.She scrambled to pick up the phone, dialed James's number, her fingers shaking."James," she said. The moment he answered, her voice

    As Sophia was still in deep thought on who could be the one shooting in front of her house, her phone rang, she could hear the phone ring but don't know where she kept it .She traced the ringing tone to where the phone is and as she was about answering the call, Liam collected the phone from her and checked the number calling, It was a man's number, no other person than James the investigator. His reaction sends shivers down Sophia's spine.“Hello, Mr James, please stop calling this my sweetheart’s number. She's very very busy. Thank you”. After Liam was done saying this, he hung up.“Your sweetheart?, you're calling my wife your sweetheart in my presence” Adrian rushed to where Liam was standing and gave him a blow on his head. He did it twice and a fight started between both of them.As they were fighting, Sophia's phone fell off Liam’s hand and she rushed and picked it and went to the kitchen to return the call because as Liam mentioned James, she knew it was her investigator .“Mr

    “With all due respect, why would you come to my house, talk anyhow then slap my mother?” Little Theo asked, his head up facing Victoria.“My son, come on. This is not your mother. I'm your grandmother. Follow me alright?*Victoria went closer to Theo rubbing his head..Sophia flinched. There was this silence amongst them.“God forbid! You cannot be my grandmother. This is my mother.” He said grabbing Sophia's hand.“And please use the door.” Theo said to Victoria.Adria quickly interrupted him.“Son, you don't talk that way to your grandmother and of course am your father. I came to take you to my place.”Theo looked at Sophia immediately.“I don't have a father. I only have a mother.” He said and walked back to his room.A lot was going through Sophia's mind. He never wanted Theo to know anything about his father and was afraid he'll start asking her questions.As soon as Theo went back to his room, Victoria and Adria waited for some minutes to see if he would come out again but he d

  • LOVE CANNOT SURVIVE WHERE CONTROL EXISTS    CHAPTER THREE.. THE ATTACK

    As Sophia stared at the photograph,her breath came in shallow gasps. So this simply means someone has been following her and Theo, right from the time she divorced Adrian and the person has been tracking every single move. But the question that gripped Sophia now was who? She pushed the file away as though it burned her fingers, but her mind was still in the images inside the file. She kept pacing round her small kitchen, the weight of the threat was hanging on like a yoke.Sophia's phone buzzed on the counter. The screen showed a number she did not know. Sophia hesitated,she almost declined it but something in her told her that this call wasn't one she should ignore."Hello?" She answered,her voice trembling."Sophia Westwood",a deep voice said. "I believe you've received my package, right?". .Her heart sank."Who is this?"."That's not important",the man replied, very smoothly."The important thing is that you understand the situation. You thought you could hide the past,your past,

Adria gradually followed her to her house. All these times, Sophia felt someone was following her, but when she turned, she didn't see anybody.As soon as they got to the house, Adria was so happy that he could have his son anytime he wanted to.Sophia quickly took her bath and bathed her son. They had dinner and went to bed. Sophia was not able to sleep. Adria's last words echoed in her mind.“Watch me. If you don't do the needful, whatever happens to you is your business.”Sophia's heart was racing. Her son had witnessed everything that happened between her and Adria.
