READING through the lines of the text, a big smile played on her face, it was her world, her only happiness, her succour. It was Oswald, he has just sent a text regarding the indoor date.
**Hi baby, I hope you haven't forgotten about our date huh? Lol, I know you wouldn't hun. I might not be home when you arrive, I'm having a meeting in a few minutes time, make your self comfortable when you do, and I will be there before you know it. Love**.
The smile on her face deepened and she was forced to laugh out, that was Sophia for you, so soft hearted, so easy to get through.
Immediately, she changed her mind and zoomed off straight, to Oswald's mansion.
The FM radio in the car came on as soon as she hit the road, a programme was going on.
🎬🎬: Okay, so how are we going to take it already? Everyone is just talking about it, is Sophia for real with Oswald or she is just there for his money?
A female presenter spoke.
"Gosh!", she winced and turned off the radio.
"Why the hell is everyone hell bent on this? Huh? For goodness sake I was on my own, peacefully having my life, when Oswald came up to me, I didn't asked him to, I never did, Jeez!", she exclaimed.
About forty minutes later she arrived his mansion and honked the horn as she got to the gigantic silver iron gate.
Soon, the gate began sliding open to the right, and then she drove in. Drove straight to the garage and parked.
She waited few minutes in the car before she alighted, taking the things she has gotten from the mart along with her.
She walked up to the door and the guards standing by it bowed, then one of them opened the door and she smiled to them, and went in.
She got in and straight to the kitchen to drop off the groceries, as expected, she met the chef maids preparing dinner.
"Good evening ma'am, welcome", they said to her genuflecting.
"Good evening", she smiled at them, "what you guys cooking?", she asked as she inhaled the aroma.
"Pasta, stewed pasta and chicken sauce ma'am", Hanny, the chief chef replied.
"Oh, okay. Um, check out what is in this bag and stock up the pantry, it is just a few groceries", she said and handed the bag to one of the chefs, who took it from her immediately.
After that, she went into the room and freshened up. As soon as she came out of the bathroom, her eyes went to the big wall clock hanging on the wall and she sighed, it was almost late.
She dressed up in a see through crop blouse, made of satin material and a pink shorts, then jumped into the bed to await him.
As she did, the memories of everything that happened at the mart played before her like a movie, most especially that derogatory remark made by that lady, and she fell for it, she began sobbing quietly, again.
It wasn't up to few minutes that she laid on the bed sobbing when Oswald entered.
"Honey, I'm home", he announced, with smiles all over his face.
Hearing the little sobbing sounds from the room, the smiles disappeared instantly and he walked up to his baby, she must have been provoked again.
He crouched low beside her and put his arms around her.
FOR a split moment Orlanda didn't know whether to run, or scream out for help. She just stood there in great shock staring at George, who seemed to take delight in making her shiver."Hahaha", he laughed out again, "told ya", he said and slowly began walking up to her, as he did, she retraced backwards as well, looking at her right, left, everywhere for possible means of escape.There were about four guys behind him, all on masks, they all stood at strategic positions, one of them was holding a revolver. They were his friends, she knew it."George what do you want from me?" She managed to ask as she retraced backwards slowly.George paused and tilted his head."What I want from you?" He asked, baring his tinted coloured set of teeth."Yes, what? Why can't you leave me alone? You have already done your worst to me, leave me alone", she yelled at him.He laughed scornfully."I did nothing to you Orlanda, as a matter of fact, I haven't even done anything to you, I'm just about to start",
IN shock, Orlanda's mouth fell wide open."Huh? I just said I'm not too okay", she said to her, but Kate didn't respond, neither did she turn to her, she just walked away."Mmmmm", Orlanda gritted her teeth and shut her door. Then she turned to get her phone, there was eight missed calls, from Winifred.She yawned, girls must have really been expecting her. Instantly, she put a call across to them."Heyyy! Where the hell have you been?" Winifred was the first to speak, "we have been waiting at the junction and when we couldn't wait any longer, we had to leave, we are almost at work, what is wrong? Are you okay?" She rushed her words.Orlanda sighed deeply."I'm not, I'm very strong this morning, I won't be coming today, please just help me take an excuse", she said."Ohh! What? Is it malaria, or typhoid?" She asked.Orlanda snorted. She just couldn't tell them the main reason she was avoiding work that day,it wasn't because she was ill, it was actually because of George."I don't know
ORLANDA was still in shock as she read through the lines of the text that has just popped up on her phone, it was a threat, and from none other but George, her ex.*** You can't treat me the way you did and expect a good handshake, or a pat at the back, I am coming for you. ***The text read. "Jeez!" She exclaimed and sank into the bed, lazily dropping her phone beside her."He was the one who treated me badly, he is the one talking about me treating him badly, what the hell!", she muttered, "what sort of a human is this?" She added.She glanced at the wall clock, it was half past 7pm, she sighed and then closed her eyes to think.Who knows when George was gonna strike, and who knows what he has in mind to do to her, she knew him to threaten people, and always carry out the threats.Jeez! What was all these? Who was she gonna tell, who was gonna save her?"Hmm", she sighed. She decided to do this herself, to take it upon her to protect herself, else no one would.She was still thinki
AS soon as the guard opened the door, Vincenzo alighted and looked around the environs, truly, it has been very long he visited there.It was Oswald's mansion, Vincenzo has just left his parents', and has decided to see him.He inhaled and exhaled deeply, straightened up his black well ironed suit and then, began walking into the mansion, his guard followed.They got to the large doors and the guard briskly went forward and opened the door, and he sauntered in."Mmm", he said as the sweet scent of the living room caressed his nose.Just then, Nathan came out of one of the many rooms adjourned to the living room and walked up to them, they were still at the door."Good day Sir, welcome", he greeted and slightly bowed.Vincenzo turned to him."Is your Boss in?" He asked."Yes Sir, but I do not think he is aware of your coming, there wasn't any prior notice about this… Sir", he said.Vincenzo sighed."Tell him that Vincenzo Escobar is here, that he should come out", he said and began wal
LORD Dino cleared his throat."He has turned into something else, like we don't get. The last time we visited him, he also kept us standing outside, waiting for his guard to go in and ask if we should come in. Can you imagine that?" He asked.Vincenzo's eyes widened in shock."Again? You mean he did this again? But I already talked to him after the last time", he said.Lady Frances nodded."Yeah, and we didn't visit again since then, not until last week, when we did", she complained.Vincenzo was still in shock, it was totally unbelievable."Hold on, do you mean he repeated this again?" He asked."He did, Oswald did", Lord Dino said in frustration, "that isn't even the main thing here. Since he returned he has been firing and firing all his employees, both at work, and at home. I don't even think he has maids anymore, now as we speak", he concluded and turned to his wife."He doesn't, he sacked all of them, all", she said, "he has no single maid right now", she added.Vincenzo was ast
A royal blue coloured Venza drove slowly into the Escobar's compound and towards the parking lot. The securities opened the gate without the usual interrogations because they were actually expecting the occupants of the car.As soon as the car screeched to a halt in the garage, a guard from the front jumped down immediately and went to open the back door, and a handsome young man alighted.He was looking so dashingly handsome and clean cute, smartly dressed in an Italian well ironed suit, and a sun glasses. He had a well athletic built body, and averagely tall. About five years older than him, he looked exactly like Oswald in almost all aspects and features, he was Vincenzo Escobar, Oswald's paternal cousin.Vincenzo resides in Los Angeles, had his fleet of companies there, but has just honoured the invitation of his favourite aunt, Lady Frances, therefore his visit to Philadelphia that afternoon.As soon as he got down from the car, the summer breeze of the air scorched his skin lik
