“Yes. A mafia home.” He answered.

“How can you be so sure?” I asked.

“This is one of the perks of being a driver i suppose.”

“Thats why the other cab drivers actively refused to take me there, isn't it?”

And he nodded affirmatively.

“And you are not scared?”

“Well lets say, a tough man like me has a list of things he fears, but a fellow man is not one them.” He grinned, holding on to his steering wheel firmly.

His smile was easy to return, so i smiled back.

“Well i had no idea it was a mafia home to be honest,” i sighed, leaning my head on the door.

“I was meant to pick up a friends car from there, but i don't know. He never really came across to me as a person involved with the mafia.”

“Who?” He asked.

“Oh, a good friend of mine, his name is Drew.” I smiled at the thought of him.

“He is the baby's father?” He teased.

“Oh no, no he isn't.” I massaged my belly saying.

“Where is the baby's father then?, surely, no man can leave a fine woman like you.”

“Its complicated.” I swallowed

  • Rebecca’s broken vows   Chapter seventeen: The Reunion

    My mouth opened to ask all the questions like how, why, what , and where but, nothing came out. “Hello, Rebecca,” he smiled saying. Somebody wake me up because what manner of sorcery is this? He had changed into something warm, and he looked a lot less harmful than a fly. “Please, come in.”“I have been expecting you.”“Expecting me?” did he plant a chip in my brain?” How did all this happen?And Ryan, And the accident, Was it all planned out?Questions, Questions and Questions filled my mind while i stood stoned. I swallowed. I felt like every move i made, he moved thirty steps ahead. And now, here he stood as he welcomed me in with twice charm as the first day we met.The first day we were introduced. I remember. With a carefully sorted bouquet in his hands and unsure spirit, he introduced himself. Somehow, by the end of the day, all i could see in his eyes was a very certain and pleased young man. Ready to make his arranged marriage work.Then the cold breeze blast acr

  • Rebecca’s broken vows   Chapter fifteen: The help

    I led mom to her room, tucking her gently into the bed. “You only need to call me, and ill be here.” I said. “Faster than your dads omelette?” She teased, in her brittle attempt to make lighter of the situation. I kissed her cheeks saying. “Faster than dads omelette.”She closed her weary eyes and soon fell asleep. taking in deep breaths, i pulled myself from her, then shut the door behind me quietly. If there was anybody i knew i needed to speak with right now, it was Drew. He was the only person who saw the inevitable coming, but how?I increased my pace as i hopped down the stairs. Before regaining my property, finding dad has now become my top priority. I thought articulately.But for starters, i had no idea where to search first. I couldn't picture a standard reason why Derrick was doing all this but i knew i couldn't trust him with dads safety either. And especially when ‘compliance’ only meant he had something more to demand from me. My soul i guess.One last scan arou

  • Rebecca’s broken vows   Chapter fourteen: True colors

    Series of thoughts clashed in my head, banging heavily against one another like a tambourine as i tried to process what the hell was going on. “Have a seat Rebecca,” Derrick said, unflinching.I couldn't tear my eyes away from the monster i was staring at, but i moved accordingly. Reaching for one of the kitchen stools. Mom sat tied to a chair, her lips were sealed so only her eyes did the talking. And from the look on her eyes, she was going through a rollercoaster of pain, stress and heavy tiredness. My eyes welled up immediately, soaking up my cheeks. How could he be this cruel to mom? If he did this to mom what about dad?Dad, where was Dad?“Derrick,” i swallowed. “where is my dad?” But then, mom shook her head erratically, as though trying to tell me something. Her gesture pulled a string on my heart. “What is she saying?,” “what is she trying to say?” I cried. “Take the tape off her, please!” I hovered around him saying,“For goodness sake Derrick, what is this truly

  • Rebecca’s broken vows   Chapter thirteen: the visitation

    (Back to present.)The clock spun around so quick that suddenly, minutes passed into hours and hours turned into days. There was no call from Drew, neither was there any sign from Derrick. Just me, my growing baby, the maid and the walls. “Karen,” i called the maid, who seemed to work tirelessly. “You work so hard, you should take a day off.” I said to her. “I couldn't leave you all alone here, you have no one by your side, Ma'am.” She added.Ouch. I thought i was aware of that, didn't know i needed a reminder.“You barely eat, you barely move around. Hell, You don't even speak with anyone.”“I may just be an ordinary maid, but i know loneliness when i see one.”“tch,” i kissed my teeth. “Snooping around?, Thats not what you are being paid for Karen,” i said with a tired voice.“I know,” she knelt beside me saying. Her cheeks puffy and round, with a petite frame and plaited two cornrows, she looked nothing older than twenty. “But its because i care about you ma'am,” she paus

    What!” I shrieked. “Theres no way you are going to tell him that.” “Why are you going to lie?” I snorted.“Well watch me.” He said, storming out of the house. Was it his plan to drive me crazy? I held on to the railings of the staircase tightly for stability while my head spun like a rollercoaster. A Divorce?, (Back to the day before Derricks wedding to Rebecca.)“Oh my God, Derrick,” i flung my hand to cover my mouth in amazement at a bracelet he got me.“These are so gorgeous., i love them. Thank you!” I exclaimed happily. Running my fingers into the water fountain from where we sat, we watched the decorators do their thing.“Thank you, for loving them.” He snickered. “But most importantly Rebecca, thank you for not making this feel like an arranged marriage.”“I feel like i have known you all my life,” he continued. “And i promise to make this work.”“And i,…” i was about to repeat my vow when we were interrupted. “If its not the charming bride and groom to be,” the event
