Nadine’s heels hit the floor dramatically in the hallway as she headed to the hospital ward. Her mother lay on the bed with a drip connected to her wrist. Nadine stared at her taking her appearance in. At that moment, she noticed the wrinkles on her face and her pale lips. She looked sick. “You are old, Mom, don't bother me. I don't like to be bothered. I don't want to share what's mine. I had to share your love with Madine, now you want me to share Tristan with her? No, it won't happen.” She smiled gently and ran her red nails into her mom’s hair. Just then, the doctor walked in. “Ma’am the transfer document is ready,” he said. Nadine paused and turned to him. “Good. Did you include all that I said?” “Yes ma’am. You said she must never see the light of day. She should be injected with amnesia-inducing drugs and nobody must know about this.” He explained and she nodded each time he made a point. “Lastly, she must be treated nicely. I am making my husband invest in the mental ho
When Madine saw Tristan, she ran to the gate and begged for help. She wanted to be free. Her cellmate was making life difficult for her. She had lost a lot of blood because of them. Madine thought that she might die if she lasted any more days with them. “I am here to set you free,” he said. Suddenly, he became her hero in shining armor.Madine smiled. He had come to save her from the hands of the thugs in the cell. “We too, boss!” The women shouted, and Moab and her other friends walked closer. Alana held her breath, fear running up her spine. Tristan got closer and noticed the dried blood on Alana’s face. “What happened to her?” He looked at Moab and her gang. They looked like thugs and terrorists. “Did you do this to her?” Tristan took a step forward, and a harsh breath came out of him. Even the policemen wondered if Madine was his wife but they knew his wife. “No…” They denied. “She is the one that's crazy, she keeps hitting her head against the wall.” They lied. “Right?”
At age fifteen, a young boy was walking down the beach. His eyes were filled with tears and his heart was soaked with despair. He was young but he already had too much to handle. It was late in the night, the moon was the only source of illumination. And the beach was rough and the waves strong. The more he walked, the more he felt like the earth was his heart. It was getting heavier. When he got to the shore, he couldn't hold it anymore. Trenton burst out into tears, and when his legs got weak, he fell to the sandy floor. There and there he cried his heart out. Meanwhile, a thirteen-year-old Madine got into an argument with her twin sister, Nadine. She was so angry because this was not the first time. “How can you be so greedy? You ruined your own dress, now you want mine? Mom and Dad worked hard and got it for you but I had to sell cookies in school to get it for myself. How can you be greedy!” Madine shouted, her heart heavy and she was breathing roughly. She felt cheated again
TEN YEARS LATER. Madine stormed into the living room and then grabbed her car keys before Nadine who was running behind her could do so. “Why are you so selfish? My car is ruined but you won't give me your car. Are you not aware that I can't take the public bus!” Nadine sobbed.It had been ten years but Nadine hadn't stop blackmailing her with her poor health. Madine has had to cope with her twin sister for years. She had tried to be patient and considerate but there are times like now when she gets frustrated. "Nadine don't forget that I got this car with my hard-earned money while Mom and Dad got you one. Right now I need to get to work, let me go.” Madine rubbed her forehead and then grabbed her bag when her dad’s voice stopped her. “Why are you so selfish Madine? Your sister needs your car to go to the job interview, why can't you take the bus?” Her dad walked down the stairs with a frown on his face. The words weren't new to Madine. After Nadine got kidney disease, she had b
“Why did this have to happen to Madine? She didn't get love from us because we have to take care of Nadine. Why did this have to happen to her.” Mrs Oreo whose maiden name was Hannah cried. She held Madine who was already in a coma and blamed herself for it. “Mom, it is not your fault. Madine should have listened to us when we told her to drop the car for me. Now she is in this pathetic state. I feel so bad for her.” Nadine laid her head on Hannah’s shoulder, sobbing and using her other hand to rub Madine’s arm. “Nadine is right. Only if Madine had listened to us and dropped the car. The Doctor said he doesn't know when she would wake up but she could anytime.” Mr. Oreo whose name was Darren uttered. He stared at Madine with a broken heart. He hated seeing her in that position in the same way he hated that Madine's hospital bills were piling up. “We can't blame her when she is in a coma. We can only show her love and hope that she wakes up soon.” Hannah ran her hand through Madine’
Nadine walked into the hospital ward where her twin sister was lying unconscious. She had locked the door behind her but she raised her eyes at it to be sure it was locked. “Madine, all I wanted was your car but you refused to give it to me so I ruined the break. I didn't know you were going to have an accident though, it was not part of the plan and I cried because of what I did. I almost confessed it to Dad and Mom but they were so worried about you, that they ignored me.” Nadine paused and smiled softly before moving Madine’s hair behind her ear. “But I got to understand that Karma was the one that hit you hard. You knew that Trenton and I attended the same private high school and I fell in love with him. It was even because of him I told Mom and Dad to buy a beach house beside theirs so I could see him but you went and seduced him. Now, he came to claim you but you are half dead. Guess who is going to be his bride in the next two weeks? Me. Not you Madine. It is me.” Nadine smil
Trenton proposed to Nadine grandly. The proposal was so huge, it went viral on the internet. Everyone was shocked that Trenton Hudson had a woman. They thought that he was gay. Trenton had also proposed with ten prom dresses. “Remember the first day we met? You asked me if I had money to buy you ten prom dresses and I said yes. Here they are, ten prom dresses for you to be my wife, and of course, I can't forget the ring.” He went on his knees and stretched the ring to her. Nadine was so happy, she jumped up with swollen eyes. Her parents were present and they rejoiced with her. The reporters were also there making it grand. This way it spread all over the internet. After the engagement party, everyone left leaving Nadine and Trenton in the big house. And then she thought he would sleep with her because every man did this with her. On the first meeting, they had already had sex. Contrary to her belief, Trenton took her to the guest room and left after saying.“I know you have been
Nadine’s eyes widened when Trenton walked into the room. Her heart pounded in fear, almost jumping out of her chest. “Trenton...” She ran to him with her arms spread widely. Trenton was surprised, he looked at the secretary who raised her hands in the air innocently. “What happened?” He patted her hair gently, returning his gaze to her. “She came here, my twin sister came here asking about you. I think she wants to take you away from me. She wants to take everything away from me.” She sobbed, pressing her head into his chest. Trenton smiled, still patting her hair. “Madine took the love of our parents because she is outstanding and me I got sick every time. Please, don't let her take you away from me. You are all that I have.” Nadine cried loudly. Gently, Trenton pulled her back. “No one can take me away from you. No one. Not even your sister. When I said I love you, Nadine. I meant every word. I waited for you. I held onto that childhood promise because you are the only one for
