“How dare she cut the call on me? Is she that dumb, or is she trying to act like Miss Know It All?” She lashed out as she watched the call beep slowly.“Is it that she has no idea that Marco is a married man and I’m his legally wedded wife even though someone is trying to snatch him away from me?’- she spoke to herself before picking up her phone to redial the number.The number rang once before the receiver spoke, "Ma'am, with all due respect, you are disrupting me from working. I’ve told you earlier that you are not calling the right company customer line number.” She blurted out, still maintaining her cool.“Hey! Young lady, I might not know your name or where you are from, but I know that I know the right number that I dialed. Are you not working for Marco's company?’ She asked her, waiting for her feedback.“I’m working for Marco’s company, and one of his staff members works closely for him.” She answered her professionally.“Good girl! Do you know any woman called Bella?’ She th
Ethan crawled out of bed to check if the house was still intact the way he had arranged it before going to bed last night.He went straight to the kitchen to gulp a cup of water before hitting the gym in the morning.“Uncle Ethan, have you called a private investigator to look into the matter? I was unable to sleep last night, even though I tried my best to close my eyes to catch up with the sleep, but it still didn't show up." Nadia asked him while hopping down the stairs majestically.“I'm so sorry that you weren't able to sleep last night. I also didn't sleep as well. I was watching over you to be sure that you were in safe hands. I don't ever want to lose you, Nadia." He assured her with his words.“I also don't want to lose you, uncle Ethan; that's why it's very necessary that you call a private investigator to come investigate this matter." she suggested.“I'll call a private investigator once I'm done with my gym practice, Nadia.” He answered her while lifting up the gym.“Uncl
They got into the doctor's office and sat down in a tensed state as different questions and thoughts roamed through their minds."Doctor, we are here already. Can you please tell us what the problem is all about?" - Natasha couldn't hold her patience anymore, as she was on the verge of breaking down in tears again."Yes, doctor, you heard what my wife just said. I think it's high time you talk to us, his parents, and let us know what the problem is all about." Marco spoke up as he tried putting himself together.The doctor sat on the chair and hung his coat on the coat stand before uttering and speaking to them, “I know that both of you have tried so much to do your best by making sure Junior gets stabilised and be himself again, but..." he gave a long pause as he wiped his tears with his hands.“But what? Doctor, you are keeping me in suspense, and I don't like how it's going at all. Talk to me; I am Junior's mother. Let me know if you want me to pay more money. I'm ready to pay more
He stammered for a few bit before bringing himself back together to respond, “Why are you still awake by this time, Bella.”“That doesn’t answer my question, Marco. Where the hell are you coming from?”- she stood up from the couch and walked up to him slowly.“I’m coming from the office at least I’ve answered now you tell me why you are still awake by this time of the day.”- he confronted her trying to turn the tables against her. “Can't you see that you are dumb? Why will you be asking me that kind of question? What do you think I should be doing? ”- she questioned him aggressively not minding how he looked at her. Marco raised his hands up and was about to hit her up but he held unto his hands and composed himself. “Bella, I've had a long day at the office and I don't want to waste my time and strength arguing with you because it'd be of no use. ”“Oh! Really? You don't want to be arguing with me indeed. I can see that you are still trying to grow some balls despite owning it up
“Why are you asking me this kind of question? You of all people know that I’m a well-principled man and I treat my client with so much care and attention.”- he blurted out, taking a step forward.“I don’t know why you feel so guilty right now even though you haven’t answered my question precisely.”“What exactly do you want from me? What do you want me to say to you before you can believe me, Bella? I'm tired of these irrelevant unending questions all the time why can't you allow me to breathe for once. «- he lashed out with anger not minding how she would react to it. She pointed her fingers boldly to his face, “Don't you dare shout at me, Marco. I won't take it easy on you if you keep on raising your voice at me.”“See, who is trying to play all innocent right now? Do you think I care about how you are going to react even though I know that you are about to do something crazy right now? You can continue to yell out for all I care but I want you to know that what you think I'm capab
“Straight to the point?” Natasha scoffed unbelievably over the phone. “So every time I call you, I need to make a point to do so?” She asked from the other end of the phone.“I didn’t mean it like that." Marco said, acknowledging that he overreacted.“Then how else did you mean it?”“You said you have something important to say, so? I am listening.”“The doctor said Juniour needs a blood donation,” Natasha said over the phone with an uneasy voice. Marco nodded his head like she could see it. The call always had to be about their son, and the both of them kept silent, waiting for who was going to break the silence between them.“I would send the money to you for a blood group match to donate blood to Juniour." Marco finally responded, trying to end the conversation, but instead that word alone sparked Natasha, and she began to fume.“Is your son's life a joke to you?" Natasha shouted over the phone that it made Marco squeeze his eyes shut, waiting to hear what she had to say next.“I already t
In Ethan house, Jacob his friend sat across him with a glass cup in his left hand as they exchanged jokes between each other.Jacob presence lightened Nadia and Ethan mood making them to forget the incident that happened the night before. Nadia was busy in the kitchen cooking the Spaghetti Bolognese Jacob requested for, she was so happy about the gifts from Jacob and the hundred dollar she just earned from the deal with Ethan, suddenly she had no thought at all of the struggle with the mask man that raided there house a night before. The aroma of the food filled the both men nose, with anticipation to eat the food Nadia was preparing, there random conversation about work drifted to food instead.“Nadia’s Spaghetti Bolognese is heavenly, trust me a taste would convince you” Ethan told his friend smiling, afterwards he took a sip of the Drosty Drof wine his friend brought along with him “I mean, that’s what I am still here for” Jacob said jokingly and the both men laughed out “Nadia
Bella turned around restlessly on the bed unable to sleep, the room was dimly lit save for the bedside lamp. She stared at the celling and then to Marco who was sleeping soundly on the other side of the bed.Lately she was noticing he was acting strange, always on the phone like something was wrong with work, there were a lot of things he wasn’t telling her recently, she could tell from the way he tried to brush off talks about being on the phone for too long blaming it on his clients.The thought of the calls made Bella push the duvet aside and carefully got to her feet so she wouldn’t wake Marco from his sleep. She tip toed to his side of the bed watching him to make sure he was still asleep, her heart pounding in her chest nervously. Bella was always inquisitive and that part of her sent her searching for Marco’s phone in the middle of the night when he was asleep, she took the phone from the table and slide it open. Her hands were trembling in fear, crouching to the ground as sh
