I didn't scream. I didn't cry. I just stood there still as stone, watching my aunt cradle her daughter's body, her arms trembling,her voice a brittle wind as it broke the silence.

“What have I done?”She wailed, crouching on the tiled floor beside her daughter like a woman trying to hold onto broken glasses with bare hands. “ Rosy please help me.My bitterness…..My hatred…. has made me hurt my own daughter!” . I watched her from across the door outside. Not once did I take a step forward. Not once did I reach out to ease her grief .

“Rosy,please…. Come and help me. Please!”

But my legs wouldn't move. My lips parted, but the words burned too much to speak gently. “After all these years”,I said, my voice low but sharp.”After everything have done for you. Every bowl of soup I served, every errand I ran, every slap I swallowed. This…. Is that how you repay me?”. She looked up, face streaked with tears. “I was just bitter towards you. I don't know why,Rosy. I didn't know

  • Vanished vows    Chapter 5: The breaking point

    The voice note blinked on my phone screen,unread and haunting. My thumb hovered above it , but I couldn't press play. My heart raced in an uneven rhythm that made my hands tremble. But there's one condition. What would my aunt say when he walks in? How did he know where I lived? How long has he been watching me?I peeled through the window again. There he was leaning against the sleek black car like he stepped out of a movie scene.Arms crossed, one foot balanced over the other like he had all the time in the world. And still, he looked like he owned it. My breath hitched. No man had ever come to see me like this, especially not a man like him. Rich, polished and untouchable calm. And me? I was wearing a faded gown with a tear at the hem.This had to be a dream or maybe a trap.I walked in circles around the room, trying to convince myself not to open the door. I knew what would happen if my aunt saw him. The shouting, the judgement,the endless name calling.I was

  • Vanished vows    Chapter 4:The message

    The door creaked as Rosy pushed it open, her fingers trembling against the wood of her house. Everything inside her screamed don't go in, but she knew what will happen if she turned back . She stepped in anyway , the silence of her aunt's compound weighing on her chest like a concrete block. It was the kind of silence that didn't last. The kind that only paused so it could strike louder. The air smelled of soap and burnt oil, but beneath that something sharp and bitter. As soon as the door closed behind her, she heard her response. “So you have finally remembered you have a home?” Her aunt's voice sliced through the silence like a knife,sharp and angry. Rosy flinched .She turned slowly. Her aunt was standing in the hallway, arms folded, eyes blazing like the heat from an open flame. Rosy hadn't even dropped her bag before the yelling started. “Where the hell have you been, Roseline?” She çalled out her full name.it always came out when she was in trouble. When did w

  • Vanished vows    Chapter 3:The man

    Stephen. That was his name. The name of the man Rosy had spent the night with. The man who took her upstairs, made her feel like the world was spinning and not in a beautiful way. The man she now shared silence with in a room too quiet for comfort. He tried to wrap his arms around her the moment they reached the suite, pulling her close like what happened between them gave him permission. Like her body was still his even after the damage he had done. “No”,She whispered, twisting away from him. Her voice was soft but sharp like the tip of the knife that only needed pressure to cut. “Leave me alone”.He froze. His hands hovered in the air for a moment before he slowly dropped them. No one had ever told him to get out, not with that face, not with that money. Not with his presence, so polished and expensive it felt like he didn't walk.But Rosy didn't care about that. She didn't care about his face or the amount of money he had. All she could think about was the night.

  • Vanished vows    Chapter 2:The sting of shame

    I stared at myself in the elevator mirror like I didn't recognise the girl staring back. My brown skin was usually smooth, clear and unapologetically mine. But now it was covered in red blotches. Not just any marks, but his marks. His mouth had left them on my neck, my collarbone… My chest . They were everywhere. Loud, messy whispers of a night I didn't remember agreeing to. My fingers trembled as I pulled the collar of my cloth higher, trying to hide the evidence of what i couldn't remember or didn't want to remember. My mouth tasted like cotton and regret.I felt so irritated by my skin.Shame is a suffocating thing. It creeps in through your pores and settles heavy in your lungs. I couldn't breathe, and was deeply confused . How did I end up in that room?. I pulled my jacket tighter around me, like it could erase what had already been done. What if someone saw me like this?God, I'd be ruined. The hotel had strict policies about staff conduct. I co

  • Vanished vows    Chapter 1:A stranger's sheet

    There are mornings when you wake up and everything feels new. The air smells like hope,the light tastes like peace, and for a moment, it's like the world has forgotten to be cruel. This isn't one of those mornings.This one wraps around me like wet wool- heavy,Itchy, suffocating. I blinked slowly,my head pounding like a drum echoing through my skull. My limbs felt sore and heavy,my body aching as though I had been working for days without rest. Everything felt wrong. The first thing my eyes landed on was a pair of worn out slippers on the floor,slightly crooked. My slippers. That was familiar, but then my gaze trailed upward to the lavish Chandelier overhead, the silk bed sheets wrapped around my naked body, the quiet sound of air conditioning. As I turned left and right confused, the next thing I realised was that I was naked. Lying on a bed I didn't recognise. Panic crawled through my bloodstream like poison. Where am i? I tried to sit up but something or some
