I stood up sluggishly from the bed after yesterday with Nina at the hospital, I felt so drained and weak.
“Michael honey! Won't you pick your calls. It has been ringing for a while now” Mom's voice calls out to me from her room across from mine.
“ I’ll do that now mom. I'm just waking up” I replied to her as I stood up from the bed to go pick up my call.
“ Okay do that honey. And come down for break fast. Maria had prepared us something to eat” Mom answered as I felt her open the door of her room and went down stairs.
I walked into the bathroom with my phone in my hands wondering who called as the caller had hung up before I could reach the phone.
I tried to put in my password and return the call but I was awestruck by Nina's smiling face on my phone screen. I would do anything to see this smile on her face again.
The phone started ringing almost immediately as I discovered that it was Dons Calling.
My heart skipped a beat as I quickly
I walked out from the bathroom where I was taking shower to pick up my phone which has been ringing for a while now.Picking it up, I was surprised to see my dad's calling. It's been a while since I last talked or saw him. I wonder what's wrong with him?“Hey dad” I called slowly into the phone unsure of the kind of mood he might be in.“ Deborah Melton? ” My dad screamed into the phone as I held the phone away from my ear, surprised, what could have made dad so worked up?.“ Did you and Austin planned Nina's accident? ” Dad asked in a hushed voice, probably not wanting mom to hear about it.“ I______didn't do____”“ Why didn't you ask Austin to kill her off. Now she's awake” Dad said bitterly. I was shocked. Dad is in support of having Nina killed. Good job Deborah wait a minute, what did dad just say?“ Nina's awake? How?” I asked my dad, shocked.“
“ Rise and shine, my baby girl” Mom's loud voice rang all through the stairs as she opened the door into my room. I groaned as I buried my head deeper into the duvet.“Lillian Thomas” Mom screamed at me and she came around to pull the duvet off my baby making me scream in the process.“ Mom____ .arrgh . I feel like killing you right now” I screamed at her as she rolled her eyes at me. She went about opening my Windows blinds to let the sun in...“ Who kills her mom on her wedding day?” Mom mumbles to herself as I stood up and went to hug her.“ I'm sorry mom. I was alone joking. You know how much I value my sleep. Moreover, Danny and I talked until the early hours of the morning ” I apologised to her as she turned
I woke up to the sound of a knock on my door “ Who could that be?” I groaned as I stood up from bed and went reluctantly to open the door.Mom stood smiling at me immediately I opened the door. “ Mom” I groaned. I can't believe she woke me up this early, for what?“ Nina darling ” Mom called out to me as she ran her hands down my cheeks with love. I roll my eyes at her.“ Angel, I can't believe you are here in front of me. I'm so happy ” She said with a smile as I smiled back at her. Most times, I'm not happy for the pains I've put my family through. I have just gotten over the fact that my little brother has a nightmare about my accident.I couldn't believe it when I woke up that midnight to hear him screaming my name. Immediately , I opened the door to his room. He hugged me fiercely and made me promised him that I will never leave which I did over an
As Mark pulled away from the airport, I couldn't help but took another glance at Nina. She was seated in between the two guards with her eyes closed. I missed her so much, I would really like to have her on my bed in my arms but I need to wrap up this private investigation with Deborah and Austin before I could afford myself the luxury of being with Nina again. I can't risk her life the second time.“ Home or the office sir?” Mark's voice pulled me out of my thoughts as I turned to look at him from the little door that separated me from him “ Office. There isn't anything for me to do at home ” I told him as he nodded and took the route to the office.“ Where's John?” I asked Mark after remembering telling him to call him.“ He's in the office sir” Mark replied as I nodded. With Lillian and Danny out of the country. I had to employ the help of both Donald and John to help with the investigation. I want to get this o
I stood up from the bed having been awake for a while now since I couldn't sleep. My mind was tangled with the thought of Michael. I still don't understand why he wanted to see me and I don't even know how to tell Dad about it.“ Sis____are you awake?” Shane's voice called out to me from the sitting room as I stood up and went to meet him. He was dressed in his uniform which consisted of a navy blue short and a white short sleeves shirt with the school logo printed in multi colour at the breast pocket side.“ Shane, what do you want?” I ask him, stretching and yawning. Shane closed his nose playfully as I smack him on the back causing him to erupt in laughter.“ Mom said to come call you for yoga” shame replied as my face twitched in dismay. I still don't understand why mom will want me to meditate. Why do I need all those scraps when I could have the best exercise with Michael.“ Urgh____I hate Yoga” I excl
I woke up to my phone ringing continuously, I stood up throwing the duvet off my body and walked naked to my beside drawer where my phone was. Seeing that it was Aurora's calling I quickly pick it up...“ Hello” I called into the phone as I paced around my room wondering why Aurora would call me so very early in the morning.“ Hello sir. Goodmorning, I called to inform you that your scandal with Deborah has caused an uproar with the board. They had demand a board meeting urgently ” Aurora said causing me to paused.“ What did you just say? A board meeting?” I asked her again. I don't know what to do with those old fools. Many times, I've told Dad to buy all the shares of those old men who had refused to retire but he refused. Now, they are demanding for a board meeting because of my personal issues.“ Yes. They have set a meeting for seven a.m. And your dad has agreed to it” Aurora said as my eyes immediatel
I stood staring out of the window into the cold morning which was still dark. I was tempted to go for a run but knowing my dad, he will want the body guards to go with me but I needed to be alone right now...I paced around the room still trying to wrap my head around why Deborah and Austin will want me dead. I mean loving Michael is not enough for anyone to wish death on me.And to think that she has been sleeping with Austin even when he pretended to be gay. I've been a fool for a very long time. I can't believe I didn't see all of this even when it was right under my nose.I came out of my thoughts just as I heard my phone ringing. I walked to where it was lying on my rumpled unmade bed. I picked it up and stared at the caller ID.“Hello baby girl” I called into the phone, immediately I saw that it was Lillian's calling. I scold myself for forgetting to call her after seeing her off at the airport.“ Hey Nina. How are you?&rdqu
I replayed the text message over and over again in my head but I still can't pinpoint why Nina will want to see me. Does she want to break up with me? Hell!! No, I don't think she could do that.“ Are you ready to order anything sir?” I came out of my thoughts to see a young waitress staring at me. Immediately, she recognised me, she couldn't help gawking at me.“ Not yet, I will let you know,” I told her before turning to stare out of the window. I could see Don and John circling through the whole building. Though I was supposed to meet Nina, I also needed to meet Austin. I need to know why all of this is happening?I turned back just as I saw Austin strolling down the sidewalk with dark sunglasses on his face and a black hat.I was about to signal for a waitress when I noticed that the previous one was still beside me. I look up to see her staring at me with such hunger in her eyes. I cleared my throat as she looked away not after giving me the signal that
