Evelyn’s POVI tried kicking and screaming but the energy in me was drained. “Help…” my voice was failing me.I successfully pried his hand off my neck.“Bastard!!.” I cursed breathlessly.I sat naked on the ground rubbing against my visibly red neck, how could he do such to me? How could he try to kill me in the middle of lovemaking?“What did you call me?.” He gripped hard on my jawline and squeezed it hard.Saliva began to drip out of my mouth, I clawed and scratched him as much as I could but who was I kidding? My little child’s show wasn’t getting me anywhere rather I was dying slowly.What could I do? How could I assume that my fiancé could attempt to kill me in my house?“Do you know what you are Evelyn Joshua?.” He asked me.I heard the snapping sound of my jaw breaking, tears didn’t seize running down my eyes.I kicked him hard in the groin and ran as fast as my failing body could carry me. I held onto the edge of the wall and pulled my stiff left leg.“Come out, come out wh
Joshua’s POVFor the first time in the past twenty-four hours, I saw a smile on both sister's lips as they conversed in some unknown conversation.I sat on the sidelines letting them have their moment when my phone began to buzz, I dug into my trouser pockets almost immediately and pulled out my cell phone. I looked up at the sisters to catch them gazing at me intensely, Grace Matway was first to look away while Miss Rena took a few more seconds stealing glances at me before she twisted her neck to her sister and once again they resumed their conversation like I had not just interrupted them for a second.“Evelyn?.” I paused in shock, I was astonished that she could call me after all that had been said and done between us both I assumed I would never have to cross paths with her though she was the exact reason I refused to change my call line.I stood up and excused myself. “Girls! I will be back soon.” I told them and walked out of the hospital room.I sat on the bench outside the h
Miss Rena sat alone as the car drove her back to her apartment as she had asked for. The driver looked up at the rearview mirror and adjusted it nervously. “Wouldn’t you make a stop at the hospital to see your sister one last time before you call it a day?.” She asked her.Miss Rena sighed and shook her head negatively without saying a word to him.She was devastated after all she had seen at white tree estate, she knew what love was when she saw it and she could tell Joshua loved the lady who laid on the stretcher unconditionally and she knew because she saw such love between her parents.“You’re a fool, Rena!.” Miss Rena cursed herself in her thoughts.Though her face was a hard shell of zero emotions, Miss Rena was breaking inside, she was dying of the pain that the man she had finally developed feelings for wanted someone else just as she wanted him.“They are married aren’t they?.” Miss Rena caught herself asking the driver personal questions about her boss.The driver signed he
Dasha’s POVI had just styled my hair into a ponytail and hung my bag on my shoulders before i heard a clashing sound that made me panic, i looked around and all that seemed harmful and handy was a curling iron next to me, i grabbed it and rushed out of my room, with my heart beating speeding. I stared down the stairs to find my parents having another riot.‘What could the problem be this time?.’ I rolled my eyes in anger, I was getting sick and irritated by the constant fighting and yelling from my parents.I turned around and walked majestically toward my bedroom door. I walked and carried myself as though I could not hear the destructive sound my parents made downstairs. I looked back and rolled my eyes. My hand laid on my bedroom doorknob, I turned it, pushed the door open and walked in. I dumbed the curling iron on my dressing table.I wore my boots and swung my hair to make sure it was a perfect fit for me. I walked right past my parents and toward my car which was packed out on
At the dawn of the day, Rena looked above the body of a half-naked man beside her to enable her to get a glimpse of the clock on her bedside table.“6:30?!!.” Rena rolled off the bed, her body hit against the hard floorboards of the beach house she had spent a night in.Rena sat up with her legs spread open and both hands in between her legs, her messy hair and ruined makeup highlighted her morning look.Rena looked around confused, she ran her fingers through her hair and then sighed deeply.“Ouch!.” The word eased out of her mouth like an airflow.Rena held on to the bed frame as she staggered back on her feet. “Driver?.” She snapped her fingers repeatedly trying to recall the name he had told her the night during their drinking game.“It’s Jorge!!.” He kissed his teeth.Rena looked down at her naked body in shock, she yanked the duvet off Jorge’s body and kicked the bed frame as hard as she could.Rena to the deliberate action to wrap up her body with the duvet. “Did we …”Jorge i
Rena’s POVI couldn’t take my eyes off Mr Joshua and the girl we picked up from the airport.I sat Gloomy at the shotgun seat while staring at the rearview mirror, she constantly kept laughing and jumping on the seat like a teenager.“I wish Jorge was here.” I caught myself imagining, I shook my head and turned my eyes to the road in an attempt to clear my mind.“Was it because of how handsome he was or was it money that made these women cluster around him like ants in search of sugar but on a second thought?Wasn’t I just like them? Didn’t I do anything in my power to make him notice me?. A sigh exited my lips as I swore to myself. “I will never chase after any man even if I am crazily in love with him.” “We will drop you off at the hospital so you can take your sister home.” I heard Mr Joshua say and with no doubt, I knew he was speaking to me.I nodded without turning to get a glimpse of his face like I always did. “What if she is his sister?.” My thoughts began to wander off.“I
Grace Matway’s POV I yanked Rena into my arms and hugged her tight. “Let’s not fight again!.” Rena nodded at me.———Grace Matway glanced at her sister who was fast asleep beside her in bed, she shook her head angrily at the human alarm sent to wake her up at such early hours of the day.Grace Matway clumsily slid out of bed and moved towards her bedroom, she could barely see as she kept moving.Grace rubbed her hand across her eyelids while the other hand tapped on her thigh repeatedly trying to wake her up from her deep sleep. Grace Matway drew the door close behind her which made Rena move from one end of the bed to another.Her eyelids began to flutter open at the gentle sound of her sister closing the door which was followed by the loud knocking on the door, Rena turned slightly and at that exact moment her eyes met the wall clock that just strokes at 8 AM, her eyes broke open in the realisation that she had gone late to work.She took another glance at the wall clock but it wa
Jorge raised an eyebrow at Miss Rena’s statement.“Henry?.” He asked Miss Rena in a questioning tone.His eyes danced from Miss Rena to Grace Matway and back in confusion.How could two sisters bear different surnames?“Yes!!, my name is Rena Henry.” She spoke proudly, with her head held up high as though a crown sat on it.“How could you be Henry while she bares Matway?.”Jorge asked Miss Rena and her sister who was sitting next to her.Rena looked over at Grace Matway and said. “She was adopted!!.” Grace Matway shook her index finger in the air indicating her sister's claim was wrong. “You were adopted.”Rena was thrown off by her sister's statement that she caught herself almost sneering at her sisters for saying such words to her in the presence of her guest and possibly losing interest.“Why do you think the company name is ‘Matway’ and not Henry?, do you really think our parents will be dumb to name it that when they knew I was adopted?.” Grace Matway made an alluring point.———
