As soon as Michael walked out of the door, I let myself cry as I sobbed uncontrollably, the only man I'd ever loved. I opened the door and ran after him but he has already left, his car was not in the driveway either”
“God! Why me?. Why does this have to happen to me” I sobbed into my hands as I kneel down on the front porch.
My subconscious was getting teary too, as she wipe her face with her handkerchief“ Nina, don't cry, it's for the best" she said trying to console me as I sobbed.
I stood up from the porch and walked into the house, closing the door gently. Turning back I was surprised to see Shane in the sitting room, watching me intently.
“What are you doing here?" I ask him as I wipe my eyes, rid of the tears while I turn to walk into the dining room.
“To eat?" He replied shrugging as he sat down opposite me and took his spoon as he began to eat.
After talking a spoonful of food into my mouth,
I stood up from the bed where I had been lazing all morning since Michael had left for work. Looking around, I was as ecstatic as I was, the first night I slept over at Michael's, even though while we dated I've never been to his villa but this pregnancy has brought me better than I could ever imagine.I stroll out of the room which was adjacent to Michael's, I still don't understand why he doesn't want me in his room. I'm going to be his wife for crying out loud. I tried to open the door, but as usual it was locked.Glaring, I walked away from the room and descended the stairs as I went into the kitchen for my morning routine which consisted of eating breakfast and watching television. Being the fiance of a business tycoon, I don't have to work, which I'm glad of.“Good morning, Miss Melton," Emma greeted me, she was bent over the cupboard searching for my favorite tea cup.“What's so good about this morning, Emma? How
It's Nina, she______“ I cut her off, as I cursed loudly into the phone impatiently “ How many times do I have to tell you that there's nothing going on between Nina and me. That picture you saw in the newspaper was Photoshopped“ I lied to her, after that night, Deborah has been questioning me about Nina and I, and I have to deny it every time. I'm getting tired of her emotional blackmail.I scribbled something on the files in front of me, I have a 1:00pm meeting with the board concerning the launching of the new“ Thomson's hospital” which has been built and now this.“It's not that Michael, Nina was involved in an accident and she's dead“ I froze as the pen hovered in my hand. Nina is dead? How come? No, it can't be true, I saw her two days ago and she was healthy. I laugh, Deborah has started again with her planks. I'm not in the mood for any of this.“ What did you say? Nina did what?" I stood up and paced to and
“I don't know son, I guess you have to find out by yourself ” Dad said shrugging, mom was a bit quieter now as she looked at me.“If mom didn't do it then why was she crying?” I asked dad as I turned to look at him with my hands folded across my chest.“ I didn't kill her Michael, please believe me” Mom pleaded with me as fresh tears fell from her eyes“ I was scared that you will blame me for her death because of what I say to you. I didn't do that ” She cried as I went to her and hugged her, My frantic beating heart calmed down, as some of the guilt washed over me.After spending hours apologizing to my parents we were now on our way to the hospital. But one thing was still unclear to me. I knew Nina's accident was no ordinary because of my ordeal in the plane. Now that my parents are out of the suspect lists. Who actually killed Nina?“ John, have Don meet us in the hospital, I need to talk to him,&r
After having a quickie with Austin down the hall, I smoothened out my dress and turned to walk out, cat_ walking into the corridor. Actually, I have just arrived at the hospital and couldn't control my sexual urge. I searched around for Austin, I dragged him down the hall and he was as happy as I was to quench my thirst.Now, I need to see that queen of the west and her friend before searching for Michael. I step out of the elevator and walk down the hall to Nina's ward.Her parents were standing near the window holding each other with tears in their eyes. A little boy was sleeping on a couch close by.I snorted at them “ Oh you Nina, aren't you a lucky girl. Both your parents and brother are all around you with your friends ” I schooled my expression into a sad face as I forced tears into my eyes. I ran up to them screaming silently afraid of waking the little boy.“Oh my! Oh my! Nina, why? What happened to her sir, ma'am?” I scre
“ Daniel ” Lillian's mother's called out to me. I stood up from my place beside the bed and went to meet her where she was seated in the resting room with Lillian's Dad.“ Yes Mom. You called me ” I answered looking at the both of them as I avoided their eyes. Anytime I see them, I can't help feeling guilty that I've failed them. That I couldn't protect their daughter.“ Daniel, why don't you go home to rest. I and Lilian' s father will watch after her till you arrive. Okay ” Lillian's Mom said as she stood up to pat me lightly on the shoulder.“ But, I want to be here with her always ” I protested bitterly looking at Lillian's father for help.“Yes. We both know that but don't you think Lilian will not be happy if she wakes up and sees you looking like this. You need to rest, you've been here for four days already” Lillian's father said as I nodded reluctantly and walked back inside to take my c
I woke up to the sun kissing my face softly, Danny was not beside me. Why?, because I'm at my parent's. After waking up in the hospital, I was surprised to see that the wedding preparations were on. Yes, guys I will be getting married this Saturday but I'm not happy, my best friend is lying in the hospital and there's nothing I could do to help her.“Lily, Darling” My mom's voice called out to me down the stairs. Standing up sluggishly from the bed I threw the duvet angrily on the floor and went into the bathroom to brush and shower.“Lily?” Mom called me again but this time, she was inside my room. Her voice sounded excited as I wondered what would make my mom happy this morning.“I'm in the bathroom mom, any problem” I called out to her, as I rubbed a lather of shower gel onto my back, enjoying the sweet scent.“None dear, just wanted to let you know that your wedding gown has just arrived from Paris
“Sir, Mr. John and Mr Don are here to see you” Aurora said into the intercom immediately I picked it up.“Send them in” I called harshly as I replaced the intercom with a clash. Though, I've been going to the office, I've avoided seeing anyone in the past days that Nina has been in the hospital.After seeing Deborah with Austin in the hospital and Emma telling me that Deborah was happy about Nina's accident, I've been avoiding her.Seeing her each day have been pure torture as I felt like strangling her for wishing dead upon my woman. “I hope you are innocent Deborah, because if you are not I will make sure you are put behind bars'' I mumble to myself just as the door opens and John walk in followed by Don“John! How are you?” I ask them, motioning them over to the chair across from me. They both sat down.“Any news?”“Yes sir” John replied as he signal to Don to answer
I woke up to the sound of Michael sobbing on my shoulder. I squinted my eyes at the sudden light and forcefully closed them back while listening to him sobbing on my hand.I try to reach out and touch him but my hands seem too heavy for me to carry. If only I could tell him that I'm awake. That he doesn't need to cry anymore.“Tesoro, I love you so much. And I will do anything for you. I wish all my money could bring you back to me, I would have done it for you because I love you ” He whispered to me.I wanted to tell him that I love him too but my throat was so dry that no sound came out of it. It looks like I haven't been using it for days.What happened to me? Where am I? Why is Michael crying?”The sound of Michael's phone ringing brought me out of my thoughts as I felt him perk me on my forehead before he walked out. I tried to call out to him but no sound was coming out of my mouth. I slumped dejectedly on the bed as the tears flowed freely down m
