The following morning, Donatus woke up and went straight to the bathroom. He took his bath, and dressed up for work.
While he's dressing up, Juliet woke up with a yawn and covered her mouth, while trying to sit up on the bed.She rubbed her eyes gently and blinked rapidly, before turning to Donatus; who's walking towards her." Good morning sweetie!" He said and kissed her cheek, then proceeded to her lips." No....no.... no.... no.... I need to brush." Juliet said trying to stop him." No I prefer this than that." Donatus said." No way!" Juliet said and fell on the bed, and Donatus climbed on her. " Stop this okay? Let me brush first." She said with a smile." I don't mind at all, allow me to do what I want." He said and tried to kiss her lips again."No!" Juliet screamed. " It's not good. I won't allow that." She added." Seriously?" Donatus asked and stared directly at her face." Yes!" She replied and nodded, holding his hand." Alright then." Donatus said and pretended as if he's going to climbed down, and Juliet sat up on the bed instantly.She's about to climb down from the bed, when Donatus slammed his lips on hers." I won you!" He said and burst into laughter, and Juliet frown." You're so stubborn, you never listen." She said." Hey! Don't put on that face, I don't like it." Donatus said and she frowned the more." Am sorry, I was tempted. I couldn't just leave it like that. I mean.......It was begging me." He said." What was begging you?" She asked with furrowed brows." Your lips! They're begging for a kiss and I couldn't disappoint them. So beautiful and soft." He brushed it with the tips of his finger." You know what? I can sit down here and listen to you all day, without getting enough.You're my addiction and you've spoilt me a lot. Yesterday was ho......t! Oh my gosh! Can't wait for next time. You always make me happy." She said and supported her chin with her fisted hands." I don't mind giving it to you now. You know I love you so much." He said and bites his lips, then pushed her gently to himself." No, no, no. I want to visit Selina first in the hospital. Maybe when I return. That will be better.But wait!" She stretched out her left hand. " Are you going out?" She asked." Yes, I'm dressing up for work." Donatus said and stood up from the bed." But aren't we......" She paused and continued. " Supposed to be in our honeymoon?" She asked." Not this time sweetheart. That will be possible when we've succeeded in solving the issue on ground. I want to have a nice time with you. Not when I'm with you, I'll be thinking about the trouble your children will cause next between us.Am not only going to work, but also to search for an apartment which they're be living in as I told you last night. I'll be waiting downstairs for breakfast. Be quick with your bath." He said and kissed her, then picked his briefcase and begin to head to the door.Juliet watched him keenly, until he got to the door. She adverted her eyes and fold her arms, while he opened the door and walked out. She sighed out and rubbed her forehead, thinking about what he just said.She's confused to the point that she didn't know which decision to take." Should I agree to this or not? We are talking about my children here! My own children, but he is.......He is my husband right? Wife should be submissive to husband. But is this right?" She asked herself." It might be a right decision, cause none of my children is listening to me. But what if they don't agree to it? What will happen next?" She asked herself again." He said they'll accept it by force." Her subconscious reminded her." Oh yes! You're right." She nodding her head. "He said that last night. But what if...... What if it generate another problem? Cause Nelson can be very very stubborn some times. What if?" She asked, but couldn't find an answer." Well, I don't know what to think or do anymore. I'm speechless! Seriously! I'm confused and devastated." She said and heaved a sigh again; then stood up and walk to the bathroom.The following day, Juliet left to the hospital with her second daughter Janet. She's happy when she found Selina, sitting comfortably on the sick bed." Selina!" She called and rushed into the room." Mother!" Selina said and opened her arms, to receive her mother's warm embrace.They hugged happily and it was clearly showed on their face." Come here you little doll!" Selina said to Janet, who's smiling while staring at her.She disengaged from the hug with her mother and hugged her little sister." Hope nobody trouble you at home." Said Selina." No one did." Janet replied." Am glad to hear that." Selina replied. " What of Nelson?" She asked." I don't know where he is, he left the house this morning." Janet replied." To where exactly?" Selina asked." I don't know big sis." Janet replied with a frown." Let's leave your brother and talk about something else. He'll always find his way home when it's time to do so. I want to ask you Selina, what really happened between you and your
When Donatus got home that evening, he met the whole family already seated in the dining room, ready to take their dinner; and it appears that he's the only one missing." Hi Honey!" He said and opened his arms widely, to receive his wife's hug." Sweetheart, you're back already." She said and hugged him tightly to himself. " I thought you won't make it, I've tried your line severely." She added." So sorry, my phone was silence. Let me see......." Donatus said and brought out his cellphone, and just as Juliet said, he'd 10 miss calls from her, and 15 miss calls from other sources." Oh dear! I've got a lot of miss calls here." He muttered and Juliet drew closer and looked into his phone." Don't always put your phone in silence, in case something happens and someone tries your like line." Juliet said." Am sorry, I won't do that again." Donatus said and placed his hand on her shoulder." Promise?" She asked and looked at his face." Of course!" Donatus replied amidst laughter." Will
When he's done with his bath, Donatus put on a simple dress and went downstairs. He met Juliet sitting alone in the dining. He walked up to her, pushed a chair and sat down opposite her." What's on the table?" He asked with a smile and opened the plate of food. " Wow!" he glanced at his wife, but frowned when he noticed her mode. " Are you okay?"" Yeah! A bit!" Replied Juliet" A bit?" Mr Donatus repeated and picked a fork. " Yeah! I told them about our discussion last night, and they flared up." She said." Hope you didn't mention my name." He looked up at her." No I didn't. But I won't let them control me. I don't want to have a broken home. I want everyone to be peaceful with one another. But since they don't want that, I have no other option than to do it by force as you said." Juliet said and Mr Donatus nod his head." I got a house. Remember I told you that I'm not just going to work, but for that as well."" Yeah! I recall." Said Juliet." The house is safe and securable. It
After packing all the necessary things she'll use, Selina proceeded to her kid sister's room. She also picked few of their things, dressed then up and ready to leave." Where are we going big sis?" Janet asked curiously." To our new home."" Our new home? What about this one?"" Mom and dad will be here. Ready?" She heaved a sigh and stood up from the bed, " let's go.""Juliana coming too?"" Yes sweetheart. Now can you stop asking questions, let's go already?" Selina carried her little sister into her arms and held Janet's hand." How about big bro? Won't he come along too?"" He will." Selina pushed the door open and they walked out." Big sis, can we also visit mother anytime we want?"Selina heaved a sigh again and stared at her worried face. She squat down and touched her cheek, then rolled her eyes when heard Donatus laughter." According to Mom, we can always visit anytime we want. You understand?" Janet nodded her head." If have any other question, just keep it to yourself
" Did you need help miss?" Davison asked when he noticed that she's still with her loads on her head." Oh yes, please."The man quickly rushed to her and helped her bring down the bag." Thank you."" My pleasure, anything else?" He put his hands behind his back, and Selina brush off the hair that crossed her face and bites her lips." Nope, I don't think so." She began to walk towards an inner door in the room." Very well then, I guess I should take my leave." He said and walked towards the exit door." No wait!" Selina turned to him immediately and he stopped and turned to her with furrowed brows." Just wait," she raised her fingers. " I just wanna have a look at the rooms in here. And when I'm done, we will go out together. Agreed?"" Agreed." The man replied with a slight nod." Let me see this." She turned to the door again and pushed it open. It was a bathroom. " Wow!" She walked to another and discovered a dressing room, a library, and a corridor that leads outside." Done!
When she got outside, she met Nelson alighting from the car. A smile spread on her face as she hurried up to him. Nelson who didn't notice her sister, tugged his hands in his trousers and stared at the gateman." You!" He point his finger at him. " Have we met before?"" No Sir, I don't think so. Do I look someone?" Asked Davison." Yeah, a bit. But never mind. My name is Nelson. And you?" He extended his hand. " I'm Davidson. But you can call me Dave, I like to go with that." He replied." Very well then, Dave. Nice to meet me. I'm actually here to......" He trailed off when he saw his sister." Hey!" Selina opened her arms and they hugged each other. " Welcome. Let's go in already." She turned around and lead him to the house.Nelson was deep in thought as he followed her sister to the house. He couldn't stop thinking about who Davison is, and where he'd met him. After a long thought, he decided to forget about it, since it's difficult to recall." Welcome to our new home!" Selina
Selina took out her phone and started to dial her mother's number again, but it went straight to voicemail. She felt a knot in her stomach and her heart started to race. "I'm scared." She said, and put her lips in her mouth. Nelson reached over and put his hand on hers. "Don't be. I'm sure everything is fine. We're going to get to the bottom of this." He said, giving her a reassuring smile. Selina nodded, trying to believe him. They drove for a while, the silence filled with worry and unease. After what seemed like an eternity, they reached the neighborhood where her mother lived. They pulled up to the house and Selina got out of the car, her heart pounding in her chest.She walked up to the front door, and begin to knock repeatedly. The gateman, Mr ..........., A man she in his early fifties stepped, but frowned when he saw her." Good day Miss." He put his left hand in his pocket and lean on the wall." Good day, ....... I'm here to see my mother, can I come in?" " I'm sorry Miss,
Selina's mind was racing, her heart pounding. She didn't know what to do. She was terrified, but she had to stay calm. She couldn't let this man know how scared she was. She slowly raised her hands, trying to appear calm and collected. "What do you want?" She asked, her voice trembling despite her best efforts. "I just want your money." The man replied, taking a step towards her. Selina's eyes darted around the room, searching for a way out. But the man was blocking the only exit. She was trapped. Suddenly, the man lunged at her, grabbing her by the arm. She cried out in pain, trying to break free. But he was too strong, his grip like iron. "Don't struggle, or I'll hurt you." He growled, his breath hot on her face. She froze, trying to calm her breathing. "Please, just take what you want and leave." She begged, her voice shaking. "Shut up!" He hissed, tightening his grip. "I'm in charge here." She whimpered, but did as he said."Now, I'm going to let you go, and you're going to g
