Blood. Blood was the last thing she saw before everywhere went blank. She lifted her palm to her forehead. She felt a throbbing pain there. Not a new feeling. A deep sigh escaped the pit of her stomach. Her eyes looked up at the ceiling in tiredness. What the heck happened to her? "How are you feeling?" A male voice asked. She stiffened, not wanting to look. Was she going crazy? Had she run mad? She hoped she wasn't missing him so bad that she had imagined him talking to her. That would be a sure sign of madness. Slowly, her neck turned to her left, and her heart raced as she saw the stature casually sitting on the armchair. He waved slightly at her. She smiled in resilience. She wasn't crazy. Anthony was here in blood and flesh. "Hey," she called out to him, stretching her arm for him to hold. He ignored it. Sandra's attention divided as Tanya stepped in with crackers in her hand. "Hey, boo" Tanya greeted as she
The silence that engulfed the room was new to her. Yes, she had grown used to silence in her days with Tony, but today was the first time she felt it so deep within her soul. Even her mind had grown silent. She didn't know what to think, or say. Her eyes drifted to Anthony who seemed to be thinking furiously. His brows were knitted, and his head faced the floor. He wasn't frowning, but he had that serious aura over him. "What is the reason for the miscarriage?" "Uhmm... Doctor Cole will relate that to you,later on." Stefan replied. Sandra's attention drifted back to Stefan. He was a ray of sunshine. His cheeks were a bit large, and cute. His eyes glowed whenever he spoke, and a smile effortlessly left his lips whenever needed. He seemed to be a well to do intern. He looked well kept. "I don't need to know the details. I just need to know if the child loss is her fault or not." "pardon?" Stefan asked. A dark cloud came over him. He was obviously
Tanya's visit had to be one of the best things that had happened to Sandra in weeks. Months even. Tanya seemed to have that aura of command around her. She had strictly ordered the maids to clean up the messes, and to heaven's true word, they obeyed every word that left her mouth. "Enjoying your dinner?" Tanya asked, stabbing her fork into the last piece of meatball on her plate. She knew her friend was trying to fill in the hole Anthony was creating, but she honestly wasn't helping matters. Sandra couldn't explain how, but slowly she had found herself craving for Anthony's attention. At first, she had been relieved that he had left. It had given her so much time to process the whole pregnancy thing, and she was comfortable enough to breathe air. But as time went on, Sandra realized that more than anything, she wanted him back. The house seemed so vacant without him. There was no one growling or barking at every corner. The workers hadn't been called fools in w
It took Tanya a moment to regain her composure, but when she did, she straightened the hem of her dress. "Hi, how may I help you?" Her cheeky voice came out in a soft, sweet tone. The fire beneath his eyes did not waver. "You possess what belongs to me." He ground the words out. "what is that?" She asked, batting her lashes. "My wife. Where is she?" He queried. "I have no idea." She replied, noticing the cars that had surrounded her house. It wasn't even up to an hour since they arrived, and Anthony already had her house covered with the cops. "Get out of the way." He ordered. "Leave my home." She retorted, retreating into her room. She watched as he took a step back, turned around, and walked towards his car. She slammed the door, feeling her heart beat return back to normal. One thing was certain,no one could stand him for more than five minutes without breaking. "Who was that?" Sandra asked, startling her.
Anthony's hands waved through his hair as the cold water droplets poured on his hard skin. He needed a fresh bath to clear up all he had done in the past minute. His adrenaline rush was still high, and the excitement bubbled in his stomach. Why he had kissed Sandra, he couldn't explain. There was no logical explanation. He grunted in discomfort. He had no sexual attraction towards her. There had been no sexual tension within them or whatsoever. He turned the shower off. The cold bath had definitely not helped in getting rid of the hardness he possessed. He walked towards the soap section. It was the first time he would be doing that in years. Sandra laid lazily on the bed, panting. Her heart kept on racing like it was going against race cars. She looked at the ceiling, searching for nothing. How was she to put a tag on what just happened? Anthony obviously hated her. He had made it clear. Why then had he kissed her? Her stomach churned. She felt as her fingers moved up to
Sandra picked up her cane as she tried moving speedily. Stefan rose to his feet. "What do you think you're doing?" He questioned, pulling close to her. She stiffened at the heat he had brought towards her. She shook her head, shaking off thoughts of him. Her husband needed her, and as much as Stefan was intoxicating. She would not let him divert her attention from what was important-checking on her husband. "I am going to see my husband." She heard her voice crack. Her eyes had grown watery. What if Anthony had been hurt? She didn't want him dead. She had prayed fervently for it, before, but now she didn't need that in her life. "You do know he's fine, right?" He tried soothing, as he placed a strong arm on her back. "I don't know anything. I've not heard from him all morning. No one is saying anything to me. I'm always kept in the dark. " "I'm saying something to you, and that is, you need to calm down. You do. Trust me, your husband is
Ten pm. Exactly ten pm on a dot, and Anthony was yet to return home. Sandra took another glance at the wall clock that faced her mockingly. Her fingers twisted within each other as she imagined all the things that could have gone wrong. Anthony might be dead. He might have gone missing. What if he had gone to get revenge at his enemies,and they ended up killing him? She wouldn't even be able to find his body. She lifted her arms from the table they had been resting on. Her hand grabbed her cane as she rose to her feet. She needed to stop creating fake scenarios in her head. The aroma from the five course meal that was served dissolved on her tongue. She didn't even feel so hungry anymore. She was just exhausted.She picked up her phone. Her hand slid through the contact list, finally arriving at his name. She stood hesitantly, staring at the name. With a deep breath, she tapped his name. The worst outcome was free to happen, if necessary. She tapped the loud
Sandra's eyes darted through the entire room in an attempt to avoid his face. She knew he was staring directly at her. Her heart squeezed as she felt him boring a hole into her heart. Anthony was asking her to bathe him. Why? She looked up to him. "Don't be shy," She felt her teeth dig into her lower lip as she thought of the next move to take. "Do you want me to come get you?" He asked. His voice was so sexy when in such a low tone. She felt her guard breaking to pieces. She folded her arms across her chest as though it would protect her from the effect Anthony had on her. Her eye widened as she noticed him rising from the tub. In no time, he was directly before her. His height towered over her. She gasped as he picked her up, and headed back to the tub. He gently placed her in it, not taking off her clothing. Her skirt soaked up the water in the tub and her thin shirt grew transparent as it hugged her chest. He stepped in, sitting directly op
