Despair settled around Deborah and she wore it like a mantle as she made her way back to her lonely house.The good thing is that the funeral is done and dusted, nothing could make her happier and more relaxed.After about three hours of long needed sleep. The longest sleep she has had in a very long time. Deborah knew deep inside that a heavy burden has been taken off her.The funeral.She would have preferred the story to be different, maybe her grandfather was still alive or even Samus her brother.No job, no man and no family, this is the height of punishment.“George, he hasn’t called.” Deborah then thought it wise to put a call across to him.The phone rang just one time and he picked up, like he had been waiting for her call.“Hi, I am free now. And I don’t know about you,” she said with a high expectation.George was already sure of his feelings for Deborah, what he wasn’t sure of was how far he was willing to ride with her considering the issues surrounding her.Going on date
Hopeless Deborah.She would prefer death to the life she lives now and will continue to live.“Raving mad on chains,” she whispered. After the night out with George he got home and had remained indoors since then.It has been over fourteen days and she had remained I doors.The car horn that had refused to stop was the only reason she opened her gate. She had used the camera to know who it was but it was an unfamiliar car.“Who are you and why are you bent of disturbing my peace?” she barked with her face turning red. She only lowered her voice when she saw that it was Vincent and Charles.The Vincent, her ex-husband has refused to let her be, Deborah was getting exhausted by the whole drama.“What has he come to do now? Is there still more to spill.” She wouldn’t dare speak out to his hearing, she only murmured to herself.“Deborah we are here to take you to Quincy’s house, baby shower is going on,” Vincent her karma said.Deborah cleared all doubts that Vincent wants her dead. Apolo
“How many bottles have you poisoned already, huh?” she pulled Deborah by the hair and nearly flanged her away, but Deborah was able to support herself, heaven bless.“Get her arrested, she shouldn’t be moving around free. She is dangerous and toxic,” Khloe screamed at the top of her voice. Without giving a damn about who was around or not, who videos or not, Khloe exploded like an angry lion and nearly tore Deborah apart.“Not another mess, not another public harassment. I’ve had about enough,” she prayed while hiding behind Vincent.Vincent loved the whole drama, that was his plan and he was excited it played out like he planned.“Damn it Khloe, get hold of yourself. This is meant to be a joyous moment,” Vincent faked the care. Left for him, he would want the outburst to turn into a physical fight, but ops, Khloe is pregnant and cannot fight.“They strike their victims in occasions like this,” Khloe spoke bitterly, moving her head towards the crowd, obviously talking to them.Quincy
“You will have to work as my wife’s personal assistance. You answer to her and carry out all given instructions,” Quincy said.They both sat on the long cushion in his office. “But she doesn’t work here,” Deborah replied.Khloe has no office in the company, she could be assigned one within seconds, but at the moment none.Deborah gazed round the office, and she didn’t like the fact that she has to work for Khloe. The very Khloe that she has assumed to be lowlife.How can life turn her round this way? The initial plan was to capture and take over the Galumanation Company and not to work for Khloe. It’s degrading, but absolutely nothing could be done.She had agreed to work for the company at the party just for the sake of it. Plus the crowd had a lot of bad things to say about her, “She tried to kill her sister just she could take over her husband from her.”The other said, “She killed her brother and grandfather.”Different stories has made it out there already, both the fake ones. If
“He would be called Philip,” Quincy declared. He didn’t just decide to call his new born baby Philip. It was a combined decision between him and his wife Khloe.The name was chosen in the memory of his one and only brother. He died even before he stopped breathing. Quincy narrated the real Philip Stone to his wife and she bought the idea to name the baby after him.It was a culture they read from one of the African books Khloe reviewed. She loved the African culture where family members rename their kids the names of their deceased love ones, as a form of respect and love rekindling. She adopted the culture.The birth of baby Philip brought immense joy in their home. Who would have thought that a new baby could bring so much joy?Khloe has stopped been angry over every tiny issues, all the arrogances she vented out during her pregnancy days died a natural death.She became sweet and nice all over again. “Oh it was part of the pregnancy syndromes!” Quincy thought to himself.The woman
“Do you think I should get involved in Deborah’s life,” Quincy asked his wife. There was no way he would dabble into Deborah’s issues without informing his wife. Hell will let loose.“How do you associate, laugh and mingle with someone I detest?” She asked scornfully.That reply hit real hard. How come I never thought of that? But on a second thought, why should she detest her own sister.Whatever the case, it just dawned on Quincy that he has a role to play in reconciling Debora and Khloe.“You have practically refused to let go of your anger. I also lost a brother and a niece, I haven’t fully healed but I get better by the day,” Quincy sounded harsh, he had to.“I lost an entire family,” Khloe replied. But she paused and gave it a deep thought. Her husband also lost family members. Yet he manages it very well.“Yes Debora did whatever she did, but the universe already punished her and maybe still punishing her. Look at you, you are blessed. You have it all,” Quincy tried to talk som
Life at the Stone mansion was calm and peaceful.Deborah and Khloe do not get along much but they try so hard differently to have a good raporThey hardly talk with each other except if Quincy was around, he engineers any conversation between the two women.Deborah often plays with Ashly, whenever she is not with her mum, she goes into Debora’s room.Going to work at Galumantion ended the moment she moved into the Stone mansion. There was nothing for her to do at the company at first, it was Quincy and his harmony life style.Now that everything seems to have being fixed, Quincy thought it would be nice to venture into the next task at hand.Either reconcile Deborah and Vincent, restore their marriage and many more or to get them divorced so Deborah can get married to George, at the moment he looks serious.“Can I invite Vincent over to the house, do you mind?” Quincy asked Deborah. He already discussed with Khloe and she was cool with the whole idea.Deborah wasn’t so sure if she was
“Son of a gun,” Deborah cursed after Charles left. She couldn’t stand the insult anymore.All alone in her room and on her massive bed, “Bastard,” she kept on murmuring.“I was going to leave this house but not now.” Who would have imagined that Deborah had other plans? But she wasn’t sure of carrying out the plans any time soon. Yes Vincent might be right about something.And now there is a price to be paid, Deborah worried more because Vincent might go extra miles to prove that she hasn’t changed.She wasn’t sure of herself if she has changed or not. But one thing was certain, Debora was not going to be under Khloe forever.She had to call Charles, maybe Charles will talk some sense into Vincent.Upon seeing Deborah’s call, Charles face turned red. His memory flashed back to the day she called him for the plot to kill Quincy Stone, “Not again,” Charles said and put off his mobile phone.After several trials she decided to pay Charles a visit. What to tell Quincy Stone became the i
