Chapter 9. An Aid.
I quickly race to the room, checking for the girl and finally find her in a small room. She looked uncomfortable and cried a lot. I felt sorry for her, it was my fault to begin with so I would have to be responsible for her, I am so sorry dear. I bow my head down and patiently wait for her to wake up, only to fall asleep myself.
I woke up to the feeling of stares, as I raised my head I found Martha who kept staring at me with contempt, and I know I can't blame her, I am practically the reason she's this way right now. I try to help and reach for a glass of water, stretching it towards her. "Are you thirsty, do you need anything like water, or something else. Richard said you could join him tomorrow morning, just incase you feel any thirst." I told her. But she remains silent.
She turned towards the left side, looking outside the

I went back to my room and laid on the bed. It wasn't too long before the door swung open, I forcefully closed my eyes to fall asleep but to no avail. "Are you that upset?" I shrugged when I heard his voice, he could tell I was awake even before I moved. "I didn't even kill her." He said. "Am sorry I scared you, but it was the only way at the moment. I kept my promise didn't I, and now it's time to keep yours, the favor you promised, I'll take it now." I turn around and he's not there, did I hear wrong just now, I could swear I heard his voice just now. I felt the bed sink in and then I turned back and he's right in front of me with his head tilted causing my heart to skip a bit. "I want to exchange it for something else?" He quickly said. I frowned. "What is it?" I replied sharply, turning my head elsewhere. He reached for my face and I immediately shut my eyes, waiting for whatever was
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 11. Jealousy.
It was just about a few minutes after my break down, that it happened, Richard suddenly looked alert, I didn't have the time to guess what he looked like that before he grabbed my hand and we made a run for it, just then, I could finally understand the reason he ran away like that, it was the smell of burning, the moment we reached outside I realized a part of the building was on fire. "Wait here, I'll call someone to pick us up, this place isn't safe anymore." That was all he said to me before disappearing with his phone. Martha was no where to be found, she was probably still inside. "Martha, Martha." I yelled, but there was no reply from her, and Richard had just gone out. I thought everything was going to be okay when suddenly I heard a scream coming from the inside, I didn't need anyone to tell me who it was to know that it was Martha, but she was trapped in the room where the fire escalated. There was no other way, the chimney's were
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 12. The Hotel.
Hotel Ego. I never imagined that I would one day be here. A five star hotel that's always at the top of any high ranking hotel. To think it was owned by my husband, well that's a bummer, Peter and I had already picked out a couple of selections for after the wedding. It's a good thing I know who runs this place now, it's best if we avoid this in case I should leave. Martha and I went out for some fresh air, and although it was late, it was the very first thing I did after arriving at the city, and it was very much needed at the moment because I had been moving from one place to another at Richard's beckoning. It was the first time I felt alive since I got married. "Good evening". A cheerful voice greeted me the moment I stepped foot out of the car. Before me stood two young adults neatly dressed in l

I knew he didn't want me anywhere near the meeting, but this went on for days. Am never awake when he returns and he leaves late in the night too. I am starting to think he doesn't want anyone to see me. I thought it was a joke but it seems to be a lot more serious than I thought. "Mira, we need to talk." One night after I had made up my mind to stay awake, he said those words to me and didn't bother to explain anymore. We had agreed to meet tomorrow and I had been preparing for that for quite a while now. I took my jacket and my boots out of the closet and put them on. Finally, I am getting a chance to receive some fresh air after two weeks. This is wonderful. I walked out of the changing room, happy but that mood was dropped in

That melody. It's a Piano, but we don't have a piano at the mansion do we? I wake up after hearing such a wonderful piece, expecting to find anyone in my room but not a single soul walking in or out. Looking around now, this place looks new, and in a far better shape than I remembered it even after the renovation, but why was it empty? Where is everybody? If no one is here then what about that sound, was it Richard playing the piano? I never knew we even had a piano. Nevermind Mirabel, let's go see first. Following the sound of the piano I hurry downstairs and find a lady sitting next to a little girl, they were playing a duet on the grand piano, that's weird, I don't remember having a grand Piano at the hallway, did they perhaps buy one when we were away, and who are they, it's obvious Richard has nothing to do here. Suddenly, they both stopped. I was
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 15. The Request.
I was watching the news when I saw something that startled me, no it didn't startle me, it pissed me off, I didn't expect my mood swings to snap just because of this but I guess anyone would have been furious. I ran to his study and barged in unannounced, regardless of this his eyes were not leaving the book he held in his hand, but I noticed that his eyes twitched in annoyance. Well I guess I could cause more trouble to gain his attention. I cleared my throat several times to make him uncomfortable and made weird noises with mouth. I stamped my feet without a rhythm and also banged at any hard surface my hand came in contact with, and finally he broke. "What???" He yelled. I had succeeded in getting his attention and now my next step was to pacify his anger. If I want this request of mine I have to be as composed as possible. For the first time

"Both of them will accompany you on your trip, the one on the left is Lucy and the one on the right is Brenda." He tells me. It was midday when we had set out for our trip. When I woke up I was introduced to both of them because he had already made the decision for me. There could be no objections to this so I just held my peace. "Make sure you take care of her, if anything goes wrong or she gets hurt then pray I don't find you." He threatened them, but unlike me they were unmoved. "Don't forget, just see your father and come straight home alright." I nod to that order with a smile.Regardless of the promise I had made just a while ago, I had still prepared something for my little sister. There was no way I could hold a grudge because of something that was not her fault, I would rather give her my blessing than hate her, the same goes for Peter, I couldn't blame either of them. "Stop the car.
The bride of the Egos' Chapter 17. A tactician.
"I'll go first." Brenda said. She made a quick call as she stepped outside, soon the caretaker opened the door and came out. We could see her from outside the gate as she looked around with caution, finally she made eye contact with Brenda and signaled for the gate to be opened. My suspicions for the caretaker rose, just who lets a stranger drive into their house, I glanced at the woman who stood unmoved, waiting for us to come in, maybe they were acquaintance, a not sure but but whatever it may be, I do hope she’s not here to harm my family. At that moment the car drove in. I was given a shawl to wrap it around my face, hurriedly I ran inside the house. At that moment when I reached the living room, I raced with speed to my father's room while Brenda and Lucy called out repeatedly for me to slow down. They didn't make any move so they wouldn't s
