Subtitle: Eyeliner Amelia reached out for the French toast Tina had brought and she had a bite to ward off the questions in her mind. She heard a knock on her door as she ate the french toast, she flinched instantly and moved to the door, she opened the door widely."Were you expecting someone?" Tina teased. "Nah! I'm just–" Amelia paused, not knowing what to say, she isn't a good liar and doesn't want her vulnerability known to Tina yet. Tina entered Amelia's room and shut the door behind her expecting Amelia to complete her statement. "On my roster, today I'd only be weeding the garden, is there any other thing you'd want me to do?" Amelia asked Tina, digressing from what she was saying.Tina is seen assessing Amelia's kohl eyeliner, she wasn't really into what Amelia was saying. "Where did you get this eyeliner? They look nice" Tina said."Oh! I was given by Sarah." Amelia said and her countenance changed at the remembrance of Sarah, they had started off with a rough patch
Subtitle: My wife"Your wife?" Stella asked again."Yes! You heard me." Dylan said, merging his clothes to see which would fit for his meeting.Stella was perplexed, she still didn't know if Dylan was serious or joking. Dylan managed to wear his boxers and singlet not minding how she felt. Stella still had her sleepwear on though.Suddenly, they heard a knock on the door. Dylan moved towards the door to see who was knocking, Stella's instinct told her it was the lady that had come before; Amelia. So she made it to the door faster than Dylan. Dylan was surprised at her strange character and immediately knew she had the support of his mother. He isn't even into her, it was just a one night stand that he didn't plan for. And her attitude seemed like they had something going on."Oh! It's you again." Stella said spitefully and smirked. Amelia looked confused."Me again? What does she mean?..." Amelia thought.Dylan hurriedly went to the door and opened it wide. "Oh! Amelia! I asked you
Subtitle: Tess ReturnedIt was a beautiful Thursday morning, Dylan was still in bed because he had a hectic day previously, he had rescheduled the meeting with his employees and it took extra time to arrive at their desired decision. He splitted tasks amongst his employees to facilitate the execution of the received contract. Dylan's phone had rung severally but he wouldn't hear because he had silenced it before sleeping.Dylan took a day off work.Amelia on the other hand was enjoying the break Tina gave her, she was sleeping calmly like a baby in a cradle. Tina had woken up to order the rest of the maids to tidy up the environment as supposed and they were busy with chores as Tina headed to the main building to do her part of the chores.Suddenly as Tina tidied the living room she heard a car horn that sounded like Tess' but she ignored it afterall she isn't a gatekeeper and besides she wasn't expecting Tess to arrive soon. Tess had only called Tina thrice to monitor but she stoppe
Subtitle: Tess Returned II"I didn't say anything to anybody," Amelia replied.Tina overheard and wished she could be Amelia's witness."Oh! Are you trying to say I'm lying?" Tess asked furiously and stood."N–" before Amelia could say "No" Tess had given her reverberating slaps and spat on her."You can't keep chasing every responsible and beautiful lady away from my son, Never! I won't take that!" Tess added.Amelia held her face tightly and couldn't look up, she didn't know what she had done. There was nothing she could do other than sobbing. In Tess' absence Amelia knew peace, in her presence she was far from peace."How dare you insult that lady?" Tess asked furiously. She stood up and slapped her again, Amelia's vision became blurry, she couldn't talk anymore for her voice had started quavering."Please, stop hurting me," Amelia pleaded. Her hands were shivering like she had been plunged into icebergs.Tina wept silently for her but she couldn't do anything."Stand up!" Tess com
Subtitle: Tess returned IIIWith tears streaming down Tess' eyes one would think that she was really pushed by Amelia.Tina was seen helping Tess get on her feet."Amelia what's going on here?" Dylan asked angrily. "I didn't push her, sir," Amelia said, sobbing."Would I lie against you?" Tess asked and Amelia bowed. Dylan was surprised to see his mom back from her vacation, they had spoken the previous day and she mentioned coming back the forthcoming week.Tess continued sobbing, holding her waist tightly. Amelia stood, she was numb with shock."I was trying to send her on an errand. So she said she wouldn't go because she was busy, I insisted and she bawled at me. I was shocked, I wanted to raise my hands on her but she swiftly pushed and hit me." Tess said, sniffing and wiping her crocodile tears."On your knees!!" Dylan said, shouting at Amelia. "What has gotten over you?" Dylan asked, shouting at Amelia. Amelia began to palpitate, Dylan had acted humanely towards her the pre
Subtitle: Suicide AttemptThe thought of strangling herself kept surfacing her mind or doing some drastic things to herself but she couldn't deal. So she looked by the side of her drawer and saw a rope, she went towards the rope and picked it up.She assessed the length of the rope afterwards she saw a chair by the side of her wardrobe and reached for it. She couldn't think of a particular thing or person that would stop her from ending her life; Nobody was worth living for, not even her parents.******Dylan sighed as he got to the living room, he saw Tess sitting and watching her favorite TV shows; as usual. He walked past her and headed in the direction of his room, she looked sideways and noticed that Dylan had just passed her side."D!" She shouted, she calls him "D" as her own term of endearment; To express her affection. Tess had advised Stella to emulate her term of endearment in order to make Dylan feel more relaxed around her and Stella did as Tess had Instructed but she was
Subtitle: The RescueDylan tried to kick the door open but he couldn't, "Can I get a chisel?" Dylan asked Tina, looking really stressed and sweaty. Tina looked a bit confused."I'm not sure we have that here sir." Tina replied.Tina went towards the direction of the store to find a chisel or any tool that could cut the door lock. "Stop this Amelia!" Dylan pleaded. At that point, Amelia couldn't say nor do anything, her breath had been partly seized and hearing Dylan's voice from her not so conscious state made her want to die quickly but she was finding it uneasy to move her legs away from the chair.Amelia continued struggling to die while Dylan continued looking for ways to make her live. Dylan suddenly touched his pockets and heard the clicks of keys, so he pulled them out of his pocket to see if any of the keys would open Amelia's lock. Dylan's entire body was shivering, he was so frightened because he hadn't seen a suicide scenario before, he had only read them in books and wa
Subtitle: UnyieldingAmelia looked unmoved, Dylan sensed some adamancy In her, so he moved closer and lifted her on his shoulders."Let me down!" She screamed."Shh! Save your strength" Dylan replied wilfully, she kept screaming but he ignored her, he carried her out her room and headed to the main building. He gently placed her on the sofa situated in the living room and she said uncomfortably.She remembered all that had taken place between her and Tess in the living room earlier and she began to sob, Dylan didn't know what to say to console her, he remained standing and didn't move his eyes from her direction.Amelia sniffed and sighed. In truth, she didn't like how she was rescued, she wanted to die to ease her pain and indebtedness because she knew that no matter how Dylan tended to be nice towards her, it wouldn't last and even if he had changed for good towards her his mother wouldn't change a bit towards her…so she thought.Amelia also believed all his treatment towards her
