“May I sit up please?” He requested and Andrew, ordered Gapore, to help him up after he had sat properly, Gapore, excused himself from the room leaving the both men.“You may say I have formed many evil against you, but I haven't, you may have considered me your enemy too, but I didn't do all that to make you an enemy.”He spoke and gave a painful scream as he tried adjusting his body.“So, I just wanted a better life for my daughter, Maryanne, she seem not to like you in those years and as the only daughter I have, I was willing to make her have everything she requested for.”“Is this why you have called me Mr. Marvin, I am so impatient these days,I need to catch up with something please speak to me,lest I go away from here.”Andrew, urged angrily, and Mr. Marvin,smiled. It might be obvious, Andrew, doesn't want to discuss these matters. He considered it past and a dangerous aspect of his life so, saying them will cause the narrator a whole lot of bad.“Your Father!…”He paused and
“Maryanne? Where have you been?”Mrs. Felicia, quickly, ran towards her checking her body, but, Maryanne, was more concerned about the information she just got right now she equally, stares at her father, being worried why he has to be in the hospital at that state.“Father!” she called as she separate herself from her mother's hug and went to sit beside her father's bed.“Are you alright Father?” she asked concern full in her eyes.“Yes daughter, are you okay? Did anything happen to you?” Mr. Marvin questioned his daughter.“Where have you been?”Mrs. Felicia, questioned again. The constant question annonyed aunt Pearl, that she hissed and left them in the room.“Are you really going to undergo surgery?” she asked and Mrs. Felicia as well as her husband, stared at her in surprise. No one told her the father was in the hospital, not alone that he is going to undergo a surgery.“How did you know about this? Pearl, informed you? Didn't I tell her to keep it at a low…”“No mother she di
“What do you mean Aunt?”Maryanne, asked as she stood from her sitting position she looked so tired and pale. She had stayed in the hospital for two days , nurturing and looking over her son.“You look so tired, and you ain't… come with me.”Aunt Pearl, called her. Maryanne, could sense something wasn't right, but, she doesn't know what is the problem. She nodded to her aunt and walked towards the door.Once Maryanne, got outside,she saw her mother wailing while some women consoled her as they Led her into the car. She stood for a while, trying to comprehend what is happening but nothing seems to come to her mind until her friend Beyonce, approached her.“Maryanne, darling.” she called in an informal tone as she gave her a warm hug.“It is going to be alright.”“Your Mom, where is she… why is my Mom…”Tears streamed down her cheek and Beyonce, hugged her tightly stroking her hair gently.“Let's go chicks.”Aunt, Pearl said, in a melancholic tone, and they went into the car the environ
“What should we do now Sir?” Tricia, questioned in a sympathetic tone. She doesn't know of there is anything they can do, but,this is about death maybe, Andrew, can send a condolence message to them if that's the only thing they have to do.Andrew, glanced at her with no words to reply sometimes,he wondered if Tricia,bis from this world.“Here. I mean, we can extend some condolence…well, I would like to go see lady Maryanne, I believe she is in a tough state right now.”Tricia, spoke and Andrew, admired her. But, it didn't matter to his heart how Maryanne, should be feeling by now. It looks like his soul doesn't give a damn about her emotions anymore. Without any word, his phone rang,and it was Maryanne, calling he didn't want to pick the call earlier, but did change his mind after some inner delegation.“Andrew, Father! My father is gone! I do not know… I… Alex, I'm so shattered right now.”She wailed at her end into the phone. Andrew, didn't say a word, but hearing Alex's name he w
While, she walked a lot of thought filled her mind. She was suppose to leave the city and go far away to start a fresh life if she ever can. While in the middle of her thought, her phone vibrated she quickly, checked it and hissed after seeing the caller she was hoping it to be Andrew, but, unfortunately, Andrew, hasn't called since yesterday and he didn't bother to ask after Alex, too. She isn't going to drag him out any more, there are too many crisis already. She picked the call because, it was her brother Stanley. “Hello brother, what is the matter? Is everything alright?” She Asked quickly, hoping nothing goes wrong “Aunt, brought a deal.” “Aunt?What is it all about? If it concerns Andrew, then I'm not a part of it.” She sounded with a tone of finality. “What are you saying? This is the man you have always wanted to destroy and it is time we do it and get more rich.” Stanley, tried persuading her the more, but, Maryanne, won't listen to a thing. “I have never got an inte
While Andrew, kept watching the life broadcast on the allegations on him, he wondered why they're all concentrated on him. Don't they have anything better to say or do?“Andrew, had threatened my father in his sick bed and make him give up his treasures for him. We all know that Andrew, has treated Maryanne,so badly and they're both divorced but… revenge had him. The man you all think is a nice person ,a beast.”Stanley, uttered feigning annoyance and grief. They both are acting like they're the victim and looking at people's comment, they sure had got some favour.“Where is your mrs. Dominic and Maryanne?”The man whom had interviewed them asked and aunt, Pearl, quickly answered.“I'm sure, the woman is shocked with this whole incident. As a matter of fact, she hasn't being herself all these while. She has being restless and…”Pearl, wept bitterly she screamed out Mr. Marvin's name in grief.“This is a great loss for the Dominic's, because,of an irresponsible son-in-law.”“Well… Mary
“Are you being so stupid right now? Maryanne!” Stanley, yelled at her and Maryanne, looked deadly at her brother.“You are so incompetent and a coward. Why are you fighting the man that isn't troubling you? Why not go work for your own wealth.”She scolded her brother back. Mrs. Felicia, just sat there,staring at her children she can't comprehend the battle Pearl, is trying to create between those two.“Why are you doing this Pearl, must you take the children along? Why…”“No Felicia, this is all your fault! You didn't agree to this and you are tearing your home apart. I will make sure to clear the last of the Pablo's, out from the surface of the earth, untill then, my soul will not be at peace.”“Please, go somewhere else to execute that evil plans of yours.”Mrs. Felicia, pleaded to her but , Pearl, wouldn't oblige.“All you are seeking is revenge Aunt, Father died and you didn't mourn a day for him. And you Stanley, keep trodding the part aunt is leading, you will surely fall into
“You… you have inflicted injury on yourself sir.”She said to him, but he didn't mind.“Stay away from me everyone, should stay away and go! I don't want all of you.”He shouted and Tricia, paused her movement. She wanted to go close to him, but stopped. If Andrew, is acting because, he is definitely overwhelmed by the problems he accounted each time, then she can understand this.“It is alright Sir, I will get the first aid box.”She replied with a smile and walked out of his room to get the first aid box from the free room where they keep all medical stuffs.Once, she carried it,her gaze fell on the camera, and she saw the same woman, ring the doorbell. Her eyes widened in shock and she quickly,closed the window to the front door.Then, she went into Andrew's, room with her heart beating so fast. She doesn't want to bother Andrew, anymore,not now but, she will surely say this to him.She made him sit after much struggle and she removed the glass which had pierced into his skin lucki
