Life had become more harder for Jessica in the hands of Mrs. Samad ever since she tried to escape. The basement door pulled open, and the presence of Mrs. Samad made all the workers increase the pace of their work but she ignored them as she walked toward Jessica's spot to find her sleeping other than working as instructed. She smacked the table very hard and that small reaction made Jessica slowly get up to notice her presence. "You have the nerve to sleep, I want you to finish these hundred clothes today!" Mrs. Samad told her. "Alright!" Was Jessica's simple response."But__ Mrs. Samad, Jessica's wound still hurt her so she might not be able to finish that much today!" Mia intervened. "That's right Madam, she is still trying to heal!" Laura added."Shut your mouth and get back to work, why are you even interfering? Do you want me to add more workload for you two?" Mrs. Samad threatened them and they said nothing more. "You better finish up because I will be back later to make su
Rose clutched her sister's hands as their little sobs filled the entire hospital hallway. "Rose, what will happen now that auntie is gone?" Raya asked as her hands seemed to be shaking. "Don't worry, I would be the one to take care of you and Sasha!" Rose tried to assure her. "How, Can't you see? We are still very young to care for ourselves and we need a grown up right now. It should be, mother! She should be around to take care of us." Raya said, amassing more tears."I truly feel scared. What if mother and father do not come back, Auntie is dead and we can't do anything for ourselves! What would happen to us?" Raya asked, still sobbing. "Stop thinking about such, I'm very sure they will come home soon because they would never want us to be alone!" Rose said, pulling her into a hug. "Are you sure?" Raya asked in between hugs"Yes, I'm sure that mother did not abandon us, not even once did she leave us by ourselves!" Rose told her while trying to be strong. "I just wish that sh
Even if the kids didn't want to leave with their grandmother, they obviously had no choice or say in what they wanted because their grandmother seemed to have concluded and there was no going back! They were in their room packing their stuff into their bag to leave for their grandma's while she waited outside for them. "Rose, why are these flowers still here?" Raya asked, staring at the dried flowers in her grip but soonest. Rose had collected them from her! "Well, did you know that mother was fond of flowers? Especially with how nicely they scent?" Rose asked and Raya wiggled her head. "If she was fond of them like you have said, why did she keep this one If they are dried up and don't look pretty or smell nice anymore?" Raya asked further."Listen, when you grow up a little older. You would understand that certain things are worth keeping even when they do not look pretty or smell good because they bring back good and happy memories!" Rose told her. "You know what? I hope mom an
Claudia had been sitting in her office trying to take care of the company issues, she had been working on the scattered files on her desk for four good hours and her back was starting to ache, she stretched her body only for a knock to appear on the door. The door slowly swung open as her friend Tessa walked into the office dressed in a tight short gown and light brown heels. "Hey girl, I have been calling you all day but it seemed like the company needed you more!" Tessa said as Jessica gave her a small smile. "Well, been busy here!" Claudia told her as she watched Tessa take the seat opposite her. "You seem to be acting weird this past few days, do you have any news about Travis's whereabouts?" Tessa asked before dropping her bag on the space left on the table. "No!" Claudia said simply. "Wow, why does it seem like you are not bothered? Unlike before, you would have moved heaven and earth just to see your husband!" Tessa said, staring keenly at her friend."I don't honestly car
"Here you go for a job well done!" Rebecca exclaimed while handing a white envelope to Mrs. Samad with a satisfied smile on her face. "Can you explain something to me real quick? Why was it necessary for you to take pictures of that woman with another man?" Mrs. Samad asked curiously while tracing invincible lines on the envelope with her fingers. "You know what? To be honest with you, I either don't know why because I was only asked to do it and with the right price. How could I say no at that?" Rebecca uttered with a chuckle."You are right, what do I care about anyway? Remember, just give me a good amount of money for it and we won't have any problem at all! You can do whatever you want in here," Mrs. Samad told her firmly. "That's what I like about you Madame, we both believe in the phrase 'money talks and that's why we get along so well!" Rebecca told her as they both giggled together. Meanwhile, it was already morning in Flevoland and the kids seemed to be having breakfast i
"You haven't cleared the table yet, huh?" Aunt Clara asked the minutes she sauntered into the house to notice both Rose and Raya weeping hard, she swiftly noticed the plates they had used to eat two hours ago were still placed in the same position."Grandmother?" Rose called with a cracked voice as her perfectly white teeth seemed to be trembling. "Who's this man in this picture together with mother?" Rose asked Aunt Clara who yanked the letter from her grip furiously."How did you find these pictures in my room huh? I told you not to touch anything that doesn't belong to you little brat!" She exclaimed, eyes focused on them before using the envelope to hit them each. "But grandmother, we only wanted to know what our mother is truly doing! Please, tell us. Who is that man in the picture with her?" Rose asked hesitantly."I didn't want to show you this picture but you girls are just too much, I made a call to my friend in Dubai and she told me that your mother has already found anot
"You heartless witch!" Jessica cursed while pulling Mrs. Samad by the hair tightly causing her to scream in pain. "Please, don't hurt me!" The old woman begged but that only gave Jessica more advantage to want to hurt her. Jessica punched her in the stomach severally before shoving her on the floor. "You shameless fool, come back here?" Mrs. Samad screamed at the top of her voice as she watched Jessica run out through the door. "Guards, go after her! Hurry up," Mrs. Samad yelled. "Come back here Jessica!" Mrs. Samad kept on yelling. Soon enough, a gunshot was heard as Jessica slowly fell to the floor before growling in pain. The amusement she once had on her face had been replaced by pain and turmoil. She held her legs tightly fighting the pain it caused her. "Did you think that you could honestly leave this place? You're wrong because no one can ever escape!" Mrs. Samad said. "Get that woman out of here and take her back to the house!" Mrs. Samad ordered her guards who dragg
The hospital hallway was quiet and yet comfortable but Aunt Clara seemed frustrated, she shrugged dismissively before ruffling her hair. The thought of Claudia soon popped in her mind as she briskly brought out her phone to dial her number. She seemed to have picked up the phone on the first ring as her voice filled the phone. "What's it that you want?" Claudia asked casually. "What else but money!" Aunt Clara said with a sigh before allowing her hands to run through her hair. "You know what Claudia? This is all your fault, you talked me into being in charge of that sorry little brats! Now I'm the one who's suffering." Aunt Clara told her a bit of frustration masking her whole expression. "Tell me, what's wrong? What happened to them?" Claudia cleared her throat after asking. "It's the second daughter of Jessica, Raya. She needs oppression and if it can't be done soon, the little girl will die!" Aunt Clara told her helplessly. "Is that why you are panicking?" Claudia asked her.
