It has been two weeks since the incident, Christabel was more dedicated to her work while Monica carried on, pretending nothing happened, waiting for the perfect time to revenge. Seeing the ring on Christabel's finger every day was a torture to her.   "Monica, Are you sure you are okay?" Grandma asked her worriedly, of course, this is not her first time asking, she had kept asking ever since she noticed her sad mood.   She forced out a smile. "Grandma, nothing happened, I am fine,"   "I noticed you keep staring at Christabel's ring, that has been happening for the past few weeks," Teasingly. "If it is about the ring, that should not be a problem, I am sure a husband will come your way, you are rich, good-looking, and beautiful endowed, what el

After Christabel left her mother view she went straight to Sarah's room. "Sarah wake up," She said and tapped Sarah but Sarah only yawned and changed her sleeping position. "Sarah!" Christabel called, again, Sarah didn't answer not until Christabel splashed water on her face did she managed to voice 'hmmm'  "Abeg stand up!" Christabel yelled.  "Why are you calling me and besides what are you doing at home by this time of the day?" Sarah said as she finally sat up. Her eyes were swollen with sleep and Christabel thought it wise to asked her the questions as fast as possible, so that she can drive back to her dreamland.  "Did you send any message through mum's phone?"

Christabel had learnt to cushion the effects of her situation in life with hard work, and here her work - the source of her motivation was going down the drain right before her very eyes, her solution to the problem was to act fast, was to save her falling job and pride...but then, how will that happen?  Graduating with good grades, getting a good job and working hard to fill the vacuum her dad left behind. Getting married to someone she loves and having children...in that order, was what she always wish for, what she does crave for, but now it seemed life had different plans for her; plans in which her dreams were buried in the land of fantasy...way too far from coming into reality.  Perhaps if she hadn't promised Sarah under the hill when they were pondering over the mystery of thunderclaps, and flashes of lightnin

Christabel turned on the radio hoping the sounds from it will drown the pitty patter of the rain. The boisterous volume made her covered her ears so she quickly reduced it.Business news:Things are not good in Head To Toe Cosmetics Company, their stocks failed again. With the look of things, it seemed the company loss is unavoidable. We hoped...Christabel off the radio with a long hiss and drummed her fingers gently on her laps. From a significant distance, she could see a strange silhouette. Out of curiosity and concern, she hopped out of the car just when they were few inches apart; the car and Precious.The rain moistened her body as she move, rubbing her crusty eyes, she blinked twice when she recognised the body. Her face grew round, taking more space on her face. She stood frozen."Team leader! Team leader!" She screamed wrapping Precious in her hands. Preciou

Joshua blood turned cold in his veins, his heart was pounding. His lungs seized for seconds then start breathing and then stopped again, it seemed the ventilation coming into the hospital was not enough, was insufficient. His pain was indescribable, undefinable with words.Monica stood rigid, things were getting more complicated than she thought, sweat broke out from her pores and she quickly wiped it off, her heart was sprinting as if it competed for survival.Daniel stepmom on the other end starred into space, she was lost in her thoughts, so was Daniel; who just came in after escorting his girlfriend, fear bubbled his heart. The doctor's news whirl through his mind, possibilities swirl his brain but none stop long enough for him to create a positive meaning."Where is Christabel?" Joshua growled wiping his tears with a white handkerchief."I told her to go home," Daniel replied unable to keep his emotio
