I could hear the heartbeat of Gladmir as he patiently wait for the doctor to finish what he had to say. “Mr Xavier, I'm sorry to inform you that, Clara is suffering from partial stroke and dementia," he said. “What!!!" Gladmir exclaimed in shock.“It's not a death sentence, she can still survive," Doctor Jay said while placing his hand on Gladimir’s shoulder. “She has a stroke and dementia, how come?” Gladmir asked while removing the doctor’s hand from his shoulder. He was tensed.I told the doctor to leave, but no without telling him “We will see him later, doctor and thank you” I smiled. I looked at Gladimir and his eyes were red. He was furious. I placed my hand on his shoulder but he immediately removed it. I held his hands intending to take him outside to calm his nerves. And luckily he confirmed as I held his hand and we both walked outside.“Why did you bring me out here?" he asked ruthlessly with his face twisted as if the sunshine was bothering his eyes. “I wanted you to ca
A lot of things were going through my mind, I stood there shivering. Beads of sweat were already on my forehead and my legs were shaking as I looked at him. He looked at me but didn't say a word. His silence got me more scared. Then surprisingly, he grinned at me. Unfortunately, that wasn't one of his genuine smiles, it was a wicked one. He looked over the food and said to me. “Come close and have a taste of what you prepared," he said. My fear subsided Immediately after he said it and I walked with confidence to where the food was. I looked at the tray and he had not eaten. It looks like he just took a spoon from the meal. I felt so disappointed.I took the spoon, dipped it into the food and took it straight into my mouth. Immediately I put it into my mouth and spew it out. It was salty. “What happened?" He asked me ruthlessly. “Nothing happened, it's just too salty" I replied. He glared at me “And you know that I don't like my food salty yet, you went ahead to add much salt" he sai
The result of the test came as a big surprise. I didn't know if the doctor was joking or if he was being serious, but this wasn't the type of news I wanted to hear. Gladmir was confused after hearing the result.“From the test, we carried out on, Mr Xavier we found out that her kidneys got affected," the doctor said. “Hmmm," Gladmir explained.“I'm sorry about that. However, no need to worry. I will write all the medication she needs. But that's not all," the doctor said.“What's else again?" Gladmir worried. “The other bad news is that she was pregnant but she had a miscarriage, — she lost the baby," he said. “What!!!" Gladmir and I both screamed together in shock. “Pregnant!!" We both chorused together again."Yeah, she was four weeks pregnant" the doctor replied. Gladmir and I immediately looked at each other. “Thanks very much, doctor,” Gladmir said to the doctor before he walked out of the ward.It was sad! I didn't even feel that baby. Nonetheless, I was glad I lost the pregnancy
Later, that evening…“Are we all ready to leave?" Gladmir asked them. “Yes, boss" they all replied. I looked at them sorrowfully (Lee, Mike and Leo) and they felt compassion for me except for Max who had an evil smile on his face.They walked out of the living room to the compound and they exited the house in a car. I couldn't tell what they were going for, but I could tell that they didn't go to any meetings. They were going out for a dreadful activity. I watched them leave and it was kind of satisfactory. If Nanny Clara wasn't sick, she would be the one to take care of me a d keep me company. I stood there for a while washing and cleaning. When I was done, the house was quiet and I was bored so I headed back to my room. The house was quiet.At some point, I decided to stroll around. When I got near Nanny Clara’s room, I could hear voices from her room. I was confused. The voice I heard was that of Nanny Clara, or was it my mind playing with me, — Or was it the physiotherapist talkin
Never did I ever imagine, our paths would cross again, but they did. My heart started pounding.When she was done purchasing the vanilla ice cream, she turned towards my direction and when she saw me she shouted in shock. She couldn't believe it. After how many months of being apart. But there we were facing each other and exchanging malicious glances. I wanted to kill her because I trusted her and she played me. As we got closer, she was smiling and she wanted to hug me as if nothing had ever happened. I flinched away from her hug and her eyes widened in shock. But why was she surprised?“Your dress is nice and you look so beautiful and better than the last time we met… that means that everything went on well for you as I planned," she said and I wanted to kill her more. Silence prevails for a while before I spoke up. “How could you do that to me, — your bestie?… I mean ex!" I yelled at her, I could keep it in me. She was shamelessly taking the credit for my glow. “Hey lower your v
The room was frightening, I was so scared. Beads of sweat were dripping from my forehead and my body was wet as well. The only thing that went through my mind was saying my last prayer. As I stood in the middle of the room, I saw someone walk in whom I believe was the boss.“What took you so long?" He asked as he walked in. “I am so sorry sir," I said in a panic. “Well, you have some activities you need to carry out for me and when you are done, depending on the result of the activities, we will know if you will stay alive or not," he mockingly said to me as if my life was just a game for him. “Okay sir" I seriously nodded my head. I was trembling, with my head still bowed to the ground. “Get me the cell phone," he said to the man standing beside him. “Right away sir" he replied and went to get the phone. After a few minutes, he returned with a phone and handed it over to his boss. He immediately grabbed the phone to make a call. He was about to dial a number before he stopped. He lo
I couldn't also help it as tears rolled down my eyes as I recalled all that had happened to me as well. After a little while, I was called in to have my massage. It was my turn to go but I didn't want to anymore. At least not until the woman's ended her story. She was at the part where she I'm promoted by her husband and she ended up being well beaten by him. ‘Oh my God, mean I evil. Why will a mad best the mother of his kids?” Unfortunately, I have to leave for my massage. I need it. When I got into the room for the massage, the woman there took good care of me. It was really a good experience as it felt better. When I was done with that, I walked down to the manicure and pedicure quarter to have my nails done and fixed my hair. I had an entire bundle and I spent much time. After about three hours everything was done. I picked up my bags t leave. I decided to go watch a movie at the cinema. I didn't want to go home. I wanted to do so many things before the master returned and locke
I was feeling restless, so I decided to call him. But I didn't have a phone, how will I call him, I asked myself as I thought about what to do for a while, then I decided to use either Lee or Leo’s phone to contact him. I started searching for them around the house. But then, I remembered Gladimir once telling them not to give me their phones for any reason. I hit my face in dismay and I gave up. I knew asking them won't yield anything because they feared Gladimir so much.After second thought, I decided to sneak into Nanny Clara's room and use her phone. Without wasting time, I headed straight to her room. When I got there, she was asleep, the physio wasn't and I saw her phone on a small table at one edge of her room.I was on the phone and thank God she had no password. I searched for Gladimir's name on her call log, but I didn't find it. I kept on searching all in vain. I got frustrated and dropped the phone and walked out of the room. I returned to my room disappointed.Restless,
