Micheal, Ruby's brother last in the cell reached, his wife and mother all went to the cell to take him back home.Michael's wife and mother arrived at the jail, and they waited anxiously for him to be released. When he finally appeared, they rushed to embrace him. They were relieved to see him, but also concerned about his health and well-being. "I'm so sorry," Michael apologized to his mother, his voice cracking. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen." “We know," his wife replied, holding his hand. "We're just glad you're safe." Michael's mother nodded in agreement. "We'll take care of you, Michael," she assured. "We'll get you the help you need."Anna was grateful for the support of her mother-in-law. She knew that she and Michael had a long road ahead of them, and that it would be difficult to rebuild their lives. But with the help of her mother-in-law, she felt a little more hopeful. As they walked into the house, Anna could see that Michael was exhausted. He looked pale an
Derrick was discharged, he strode his wheelchair out of the hospital, his mind full of thoughts and uncertainty. What was he going to do now? Where was he going to go? He had no friends, no family, no home. He couldn't get a job in his current state and worst of all, he couldn't use his legs again.'Just great'. He thought as he continued riding his wheelchair to the walkway and out of the hospital.He had always questioned his existence, why the universe kept him alive and let him go through unfortunate situations. He let out a sigh and strode towards the hospital's junction, people's eyes towered over him but he didn't budge, "I'm sure seeing a young man alone moving around in his wheelchair is something people don't get to see much, I guess I'm just so unlucky." He said aloud sarcastically. Derrick passed a few streets and stopped in front of a big building where bright lights gleamed brightly with the writing "De-Royal Hotel" on a large billboard close to the building.Tired, D
It seemed like he was in dreamland, everywhere was blurred and two young male and female adults were talking loudly almost like an argument. Just then he felt a sharp pain in his leg and his headache.Derrick winced in pain as he placed his hand on his leg."Wakie wakie, I see that you're awake." The lady spoke first "I was discussing with Loretta how to dispose of your body, I thought you had gone for good. You are strong-headed compared to your condition." Marvin, her brother spoke."Just how lucky you are, we thought the best way to get rid of you was to feed you to the pigs," Loretta said and turned with her hand swaying beside her. "Betty!!" She shouted childishly, exhibiting all manner of dramatic gestures. A maid rushed in and bowed in respect to the duo."Clean him up and send him to the hall," Loretta said and walked off followed by her second in a male form."Please help me get out of here, these people are nuts. Can you imagine them accusing me of something I know nothin
Derrick strode to the kitchen in his wheelchair, his crutch under his hand, he strained himself to get up from the wheelchair and used the crutch for support. He walked into the kitchen limping on one leg and using the clutch as a support for the other.He heaved a deep sigh as he looked at the unending pile of plates before him. "So this is what you want me to do universe? This is what you want me to do, fine. I will do it" He started by removing the numerous piles of plates in the kitchen sink, he filled the sink with water and poured in the detergent that read "too clean" he beat the water into a foamy lather, and one by one, he buried the dirty plates into the sink. Derrick washed the plate rather subtly with the anger and solidarity that had been on his mind since he was abducted by the duo.He had accepted his fate now with John's family, he had no other option He washed and washed, but it seemed like the more he washed, the quantity increased. Derrick let out a weak sigh
Derrick couldn't hold himself back anymore. He had gone through a lot today just to please and satisfy them but the more he tried, the more they despised him.Everyone was shocked by his reply, Derrick too was shocked by his words but they deserved it. He went through hell to make sure he finished all the chores assigned to him and on his return, they started with their words again. "Wow, I see you've grown wings now." Marvin scuffed and Loretta added "he now talks brother. Haha, well let's see how you will settle the cab driver then." The duo walked off leaving Derrick in his situation. "You fool, where is my food? I told you to get it ready before I return?" His mother-in-law inquired. "It's in the microwave ma, I kept it there because I was going grocery shopping. " Derrick answered with his head bowed.She hissed and went back to her former position leaving Derrick with the now agitated cab driver.The cab driver who had overheard the conversations between Derrick and his maste
With an unnerving tone, Sandra scolded "Don't touch me with your filthy hands." "You-you slapped me?" Derrick asked in shock.He had been trying to get over the embarrassment he went through that morning and now, his wife wanted to destabilize him again."Why do you hate me so much?" Derrick asked, his gaze fixated on her."I hate everything about you down to the ground you walk on, I don't want to be in the same environment with you, I don't want to breathe the same air with you, you suffocate me." Sandra scolded, her brows furrowed into a frown."Why do you hate me so much? What did I ever do to you or your family?" Derrick inquired with an impaired expression.Derrick wanted to hear the answers from her mouth, the reason why she despised him so much."Are you seriously asking me that question? Or do you have short-term memory?" Sandra asked bewildered "You raped me you fucker!" Sandra screamed as though her old wounds had been opened again."I didn't rape you neither did I drug y
Derrick sat on one of the chairs at Sandra's table. The girls have been talking for hours now, each of them flaunting their expensive assets. One of them brought out a piece of jewelry she purchased in Italy worth $5,000,000. Another flaunted an expensive Hermes bag and shoes to match that her fiance bought her that cost about $7,000,000. The other lady flaunted the pictures she took with her man when they went for a vacation in the Maldives and Manchester. "Girl, you're living the life!" Sandra cheered. Only their makeup cost a lot of money. The cost of their outfit to the gathering was outrageous to Derrick and he couldn't believe his ears.Just then three wealthy-looking gentlemen with a nice body build walked up to their table Each of them placed a gentle kiss on their lady's cheeks before taking their seats.The men looked so exquisite in their impeccable taste of fashion. The first man wore a custom Gucci suit, a leather shoe made with the skin of a crocodile, a tie to matc
He settled into the car seat and closed his eyes trying to calm himself down. He almost had a panic attack there.A call came into the driver's phone and after the first sentence, the driver gave Derrick who was seated at the back the phone with the words "Boss wants to speak to you." "Hello, sir." Derrick greeted but he replied with a straight-to-the-point answer "What happened in there?" "Sir?" "Are you deaf? I said what happened there and why did you come out without my daughter? Has the gathering come to a close?" John asked with a hoarse voice "No sir, I, It was just hot in there so I came out for some air," Derrick replied, trying to avoid any provocation. "Are you sure? I will ask my daughter." John said bluntly"Okay sir, you can ask her, she will attest to it…" Derrick spoke but before he could finish his sentence the call ended from the other side.With a sigh, Derrick returned the phone to the driver who sat unperturbed in the driver's seat, all his focus on the windsc
