Lights... Someone pushed open the curtains and window blinds letting the morning sun sweep into the darkroom. Sophia stirred in her sleep. The bright rays causing her to lose sleep and she opened her eyes.It was too bright outside, you could never guess after a long cold, and drizzling night that the sun would be so intense. She sat up on her bed and recalled last night's event. she turned to space next to her hoping to find Jason there. But he was gone. But the sheets were rumpled indicating someone was once there. She thought when he must have woken and limped back to his room. If she could remember properly, his injury was very painful because he kept on grunting and trying to ease up his pain. He must need some help with it. Sophia turned to Sabina who was getting her bath ready. "Did... Was someone here when you came in?" She asked unsu

He woke subconsciously!... He stared at her sleeping form beside him. She was a deep sleeper, He noticed!. He would often wake in the middle of the night, either to grab a cup of water or use the bathroom but she never for once woke, only stirred. He also noticed how disturbed her face looked sometimes like she was having a nightmare. But often she slept peacefully, which was why he always found himself beside her at night. It became worse after he walked in on her with the doctor, Stan. He was filled with envy, he never had to beg for attention from any woman. They always came begging with it even charlotte at some point. But Sophia was different, it was like she was immune to his charms and influence. It disturbed him to the core to think she was his wife and he deserved some attention from her but he got none. Only what he could afford was to admire her sleeping form and steal back

Monica sat on the worn-out chair and watched her elder sister complain about her envious life rubbing it on her face and her poor wretched life with her husband Tony. "You shouldn't be complaining about anything at all Maureen. You have money now and can afford anything you want at any cost, but look at me... I barely can fend for myself and my daughter, and my husband is wayward. sometimes I wish he was dead so I would be free to go about my life!" She sighed dejectedly. Maureen watched her sister in wonder."You are your problem, Monica!" She spat. "Excuse me?." "Yes! I'll say it again. How many times have I advised you to leave Tony? But once you return home to him he feeds you with lies and dirty sex then you forget yourself mtchewww!!." "He's the father to my children and I can't take care of them alone, so I considered them too" Monica lamented. "Then wh

It was raining heavily!!!.... 6:30 am. That was when Sabina left her quarters to come to work in the rain, she was always known to be punctual, unlike her fellow maid Zara who procrastinated a lot. Sabina needed to be at the house on time and help Sophia with her early morning routine. No matter the weather, one needed to bathe and prepare for the day, and being very responsible and quiet, she hurried with her umbrella and entered the vicinity. Once inside, she turned on the passage light and living room through to the kitchen. Sometimes the house would be so blacked out with the thick curtains preventing light from outside penetrating. One had to turn on the light bulbs for a better view. She checked the kitchen and after having a little breakfast she walked to Sophia's room to wake her up as usual. Sabina thought of her life in the house. She liked it, at least she wasn't treated ba

He blamed himself for it!... He stood by the hallway and waited impatiently feeling out of place.  Everyone deserved to be with her at this point except for him. He was a monster and deserved to be cast away from the earth's surface. But he still stood there with a little hope that she might still accept him. Jason sighed for the umpteenth time since he got a heads up from one of the maids about Sophia's situation.  He left everything to his uttermost surprise and drove recklessly to the hospital and was told to wait in the lobby because she was in the ICU. His mother came sooner and gushed over how dangerous home accidents were and talked endlessly of the worst-case scenarios, causing Jason to almost snap at her. It wasn't what he wanted to hear at that point, negativism. His mother sat behind him looking collected and calm but he could see the turmoil she was passing through and not really because Sophia was inside there bu
