"Just this once that I need your help more than anything in the world Louis, you're turning me down, I know you're lying to me Louis, why are you doing this to me?" I bursted into tears.I couldn't with hold my emotions has it has consumed the best part of me creeping into everything part of my body and engulfing me with it's burning furnance.My throat was graudally growing dry, I suddenly grew very thristy and desperate, I could feel the weakness of my bones growing harder which each second that swept my.My hands and feet were shaking nervously, Louis was my last hope and accepting that he has finally disappointed me what something I have refused to take.I wish so hard that someone could wake me up from this nightmare but it wasn't a dream, it was the reality of my life staring at me straight in the face.I swallowed my pride, putting my ego under my feet as I went on my knees holding his leg, he was my boyfriend, perhaps he could have a little compassio

"Selena, I feel so tired and weak" she said to me.Tears crawled out of her eyes down to her ears.I shook my head "you are strong Anabelle and I know it, you would be healthy soon."She shook her head "I don't have much time Selena, I can feel it."My sister was suddenly speaking like my mother when her sickness got worse, I shut my eyes "I can't loose you too sister, I won't let that happen."Anabelle gnashed her teeth in pain, she reached out her weak hand to me, tightening her grip around my wrist.It hots alittle but I cared less, I knew I deserved worse than that by allowing my only sister to through unbearable pains for weeks in the hospital.I wiped the tears on her face trying to put up the big sister Act "Whatever it will take to get you out of here healthy and hearty, I'm willing to take the risk, just hold on be patient and strong for me."Anabelle shook her head sadly "What do you think I have been doing for the past few weeks sis

"Selena.... I said I'm sorry" I could hear him sobbing from the background."You know, your mother was right, you owe me nothing, perharps I'm truly cursed" I said in anger."No Selena, none of that is true, Selena I love you" he said.I laughed "Did I just hear you say you love me? You don't really know what that means do you? love my ass! Just get lost!" I hanged up on him and burst into uncontrollable tears.I cried for a while and finally consoled myself wiping the so many tears lingering on my white face.I walked back into the hospital trying to find my way back to my sister's room, I felt a little dizzy.I placed my hand over my forehead with my breath totally unstable but I cared less.I walked back into my sister's room, she turned to look at me, she smiled "you came back, I thought you left me."I walked closer to her and sat on the bed, I held her hand caressing it softly "I would never leave you Anabelle, we are in this together."

I was quite, my mission was totally fruitless and useless, I tried to speak again but he hushed me."It's late please and I was busy before you walked in, if you don't mind please excuse me" he said.I gently stood up, the doctor sounded very upset with me.I felt like a fool for allowing my sister remain that way for long.The door opened in a rush, a nurse ran in "doctor please your attention is needed!"My heart started pounding "Anabelle!" I mumbled in fear.The doctor glared at me and rushed out of his office with me the nurse.I ran after them, their were other nurses and doctors in my sister's room by the time we got there.I was asked to stand outside, I could clearly see everything going on inside while I stood at the corridor.I could see Anabelle's chest moving up and down, tears crawled out of my eyes "Anabelle please don't do this to me!" I cried out.I rubbed my palm continuously walking and down the corridor "just don'

The ladies and gentlemen in the office picked up the glass cups on the table close by raising it above their heads."Cheers!" They choroused.They all looked so happy, congratulating Mr.Chancy who looked so proud while I sat there feeling like a sacrificial lamb.I didn't say a word even when they tried to talk to me, I only smiled while feeling upset within me.I left the office in no time in the company of Mr.Chancy, we drove off in one of his cars."Where are we going?" I asked feeling uncomfortable.He turned to me and smiled "you're presently my fiancee and bride to be and as such you need to meet the standards of the Chancy family."I gaped " I don't understand."First you would no longer work at that restaurant, you would rather work with me at my company, secondly you won't go back to live in that house of yours..."I cutted him off before he could say another word "you didn't tell me that I would start living in your house or qui

We pulled up in front of a boutique.I gasped a bit and turned to him looking disturbed "what are we doing here?"He winked at me "we are here to shop young lady."We alighted from the car, I walked closer to him "sir I don't need new clothes, you just paid for my sister's medical bills..."He waved his hand at my face cutting me off "but I'm not complaining Selena, just go in there, the ladies would help you select good clothes befitting for Mrs.Chancy.My eyes widened "who... who.. is Mrs.Chancy?"He laughed "you of course Selena, that's what you would be addressed as soon, you should start getting used to it."I gulped hard on my saliva looking lost, I wasn't dreaming, I have actually agreed to marry a man old enough to be my father and saved my sister from dying, a huge relief isn't it?No, this wasn't a relief for me, yes I have saved my sister but my heart is even more heavier, I felt like I have lost my identity and the person I truly a

I felt a slight headache, I ran my hand through my forehead feeling a little feverish "I was just having a bad dream."She nodded still staring at me.I looked up at the lady's face, I could barely see her face clearly, my vision was blurry.I rubbed my hands over my eyes hoping it gets better soon enough.I had dozed off in my new room, I was so exhausted after going here and there with Mr.Chancy, I haven't slept well in a long time though.The lady hissed "what are you doing in my mother's room?" She yelled.I was surprised, she didn't sound nice to me at all.Fortunately my vision got clearer, I sat up on the bed, my shoulders ached alot.I scoffed taking a quick glance at her face and around the room."I don't understand...." I said stuttering a bit.I couldn't understand what she meant by her mother's room besides I have never met the lady before.She yanked me by the arm "did you just say you don't understand or are you de

Mr.Chancy shook his head still wearing his usual smile.I stole a glance at him wondering how he was still able to smile in a situation like this.This wasn't funny at all, his daughter doesn't look like she's ever going to accept the fact that her father wants to marry someone who looks almost her age.I couldn't even imagine her calling me stepmother, can you imagine that?The room was really getting hot for me, I could feel my back and armpit getting soaked in cold sweat."It's not a joke Stella, I and Selena are getting married soon" he said.He made it sound so simple with the way he said it, I could sense alot of pride and confidence behind his words, like someone who just won a trophy.Stella stared at us for a while, her eyes kept fluttering.I could imagine how much she was hating me right now within her, I would do the same if I were in her shoes, this was not an easy thing to accept.She was just too shocked, he mouth left agap
