When Mrs Allison saw the whole drama that was playing out before her eyes in Paul's house, she decided that she was going to leave. Even though she knew that she couldn't return to Mr Allison's house right now; howbeit, she was not ready to stay in Paul's house either. She packed her things together and made up her mind that she was going to leave his house for a friend's house that same day. For the few days that Jane had spent with them, she always looked for every opportunity to frustrate her and to make her sad. She had enough regrets already and she felt depressed to allow Jane to add to the pain which she felt. It was a Sunday morning and her things were already packed into her box intact, so she drove her box which had four small tyres beneath them, down to the sitting room. "Hey, where are you going?" She heard Jane's voice from the sitting room. "Don't ask me any silly questions," Mrs Allison said as she ignored Janet and continued to drive her box through the sitting ro
Michael had been calling Rose's phone for some time now, but she refused to pick up his call wondering what he wanted from her. She didn't want Taylor to see any trace that the two of them had begun to relate again. Most of the times that Michael called was late in the evening, and she was always with Taylor when she called. As time went on, she now began to insinuate that Michael intended to destroy her marriage, but on Michael's side, he only wanted to greet his son, Curtis. He noticed that he had not been asking about Curtis, or being concerned about his welfare, so he decided to change. For a while now, Rose had been furious about Michael's intention to destroy her marriage. She was in her sitting room one Tuesday evening when she heard her phone ring so she picked it up. It was Kathryn calling her. "Hi, Rose, it's been a while. Can we see today?" Kathryn asked as soon as Rose picked up the call. "Sure. I'll come over to your place this evening," Rose promised as she hung up
Mrs Allison had been in her friend's house for a while now, and she always told her friend how she desired to return to her husband. "Dear, I wish I could return to my husband. I wish he could find a place in his heart to forgive me. All along, I never knew that I was living with a good man until now. That man is good. I regret doing what I did to him," Mrs Allison told her friend. "Hahaha...do you think any man is good? I just believe that all men are the same. They're all the same, Kayla. Don't be deceived!" Her friend replied to her. "I don't agree with you, dear. All men may have some similarities but some are peculiarly different. They may not be many, but we still have some good and faithful men and my husband is one of them," Kayla said confidently. "But what makes you think so? Is it..." "Kayla, during thirty years of our marriage, my husband has never for once cheated on me. He's a faithful man. He told how he had been sometimes tempted by some women, but he refused to g
Kathryn became furious with Michael after Rose told her about what the both of them had discussed. "So, all this while, he was only after my money and my body. I must make him pay for this!" Kathryn said to herself. She decided to invite Michael over to her house, so she dialled his number. "Hello, Mike." "Hi, Kathryn," Michael responded with so much liveliness in his voice. "Can we see at my place later this afternoon?" Kathryn asked."That's fine by me," Michael responded as they ended the call. Michael was excited because one of the men he sent to kill his father called him earlier that they had been finally able to kill him.So he was happy about the development. Later that afternoon, Michael was at Kathryn's place. He sat down comfortably on one of the sofas in her sitting room when Kathryn came out to meet him. "Hey, Kathryn. How are you doing today? You look very beautiful as usual," Michael remarked. "Eh, spare me those fake compliments of yours! Your motives for makin
Mr Allison lay in the hospital bed, staring up at the ceiling. His mind was consumed by the events that had brought him to this place. He remembered how he was shot in the side of his chest and his arm. He had never felt so vulnerable and helpless in his life. But he was also grateful to be alive.Throughout his stay at the hospital, Mrs Allison had been a constant presence by his side. She had stayed with him day and night, holding his hand and soothing his fears. She had been his rock, and his pillar of strength, and he knew that he could not have made it through this ordeal without her.As the days passed, Mr Allison's condition slowly improved. His wounds began to heal, and he regained some of his strength. His doctors were amazed by his progress and said that he would soon be ready to leave the hospital.Mrs Allison was overjoyed to hear this news. She had been counting down the days until her husband would be discharged. She knew that he would still need her care and attentio
Michael's phone rang, interrupting his train of thought. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was not saved on his phone. He answered the call with a sense of dread."Hello?" he said."Hey! Michael?" a female voice asked."Kathryn? But why are you using a different line to call me?" "Yeah. It's my other line. I don't use it often. I have a piece of news to break," Kathryn said.What's the news?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady."I'm so excited that your father has been released from the hospital. He's doing well and is back home," Kathryn said.Michael's heart skipped a beat. He had been so sure that his father was dead. He had planned the funeral, mourned his loss, and now he was being told that his father was alive and well."How is that possible?" Michael asked, his voice shaking."It seems that the gunshot wounds weren't as severe as we initially thought. Your father was very lucky."Michael's mind was racing. He didn't know how to feel, but the larger part of hi
Nancy had always harboured a secret crush on Mr Allison. He was a kind and charming man, with a rugged handsomeness that made her heart skip a beat. But alas, he was married to Mrs Allison, a lovely woman who had been nothing but kind to her.One day, Nancy received news that Mrs Allison was travelling out of town for a few days. Her heart raced with excitement as she realized that this was her chance to see Mr Allison alone.She knew that it was wrong to harbour such feelings for a married man, but she couldn't help herself.Without thinking too much about it, Nancy picked up her phone and dialled Mr Allison's number. When he answered, she tried her best to sound confident as she introduced herself as Mrs Allison's friend."Hi Mr Allison, this is Nancy. I'm a friend of Mrs Allison's. I was hoping to speak with you about something important," she said, trying to keep her voice steady.Mr Allison was surprised to hear from a friend of his wife's, but he was also a kind man and was happ
Mr Allison sat on a comfortable couch at the relaxation centre, waiting for Michael. He wasn't sure what to expect, but he knew that he had a lot to say to Michael. He had been bitter against Michael's behaviour all this while, and he had every right to be.As he sat there, he couldn't help but think about all the things that Michael had done to hurt him. The fights, the lies, the disrespect - it had all taken a toll on their relationship. He just couldn't understand why Michael acted those ways.Suddenly, he heard a voice behind him. "Dad?" It was Michael. Mr Allison turned around to see Michael standing there, looking nervous."Michael," he said, trying to keep his tone neutral. "Good to see you."Michael sat down next to him on the couch, still looking nervous. "Dad, I just want to say that I'm sorry," he said, his voice shaking a little. "I know I've done a lot of things that have hurt you, and I'm sorry. I just...I don't know what came over me."Mr Allison was taken aback. He had
