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.———
Miss Rena found herself pacing around the ground floor of her sister's company, her eyes wandered from the wall clock to her wristwatch repeatedly without any breaks.She walked quickly towards the receptionist and slammed her hand on the desk. “Where is my sister?.” She inquired about the whereabouts of her sister.The receptionist Google-eyed her in confusion. She looked down at the block which she had been busy Scribbling on.“Who is your sister?.” The receptionist asked in confusion though her confusion was smiled as she knew multiple women were working at the company as herself.Miss Rena sighed in frustration of waiting for too long to be attended to. “Grace Matway.” A long gasp was heard from almost every corner of the building, a few heads popped out at the sides to stare at who was speaking.“You’re…” her voice trailed off.“Rena, what are you doing here?.” Grace Matway asked with a smile on her face.Miss Rena sighed in reality. “I came to see you, child!!.” She giggles.Gr
Joshua’s POVI paced around in confusion, my fingers didn’t leave my mouth as I bit them uncontrollably like they were the only thing I had eaten all day.On second thought I actually had not eaten, I took a deep breath and pressed my back against the wall with tears running down my eyes endlessly.I could hear the faint sound of footsteps but I was too far gone to move my head to where the sound came from.“Sir!.” A pair of arms wrapped around me and shook me vigorously.My eyes fluttered, trying hard to see who had shaken me in such a manner and there before my very eyes was Miss Rena with tears almost rolling down her eyes.“Are you okay?.” I threw away my sadness for the main time while I tried my best to find out what was wrong with her.I drew her into my arms and gently caressed her back till I felt her breathing begin to normalize.I sighed deeply only for my eyes to perch on a spot where a young lady.“Dasha…” I whispered to myself.I couldn’t just push Miss Rena to the side
