Nick was pacing up and down the hospital lobby, the doctors were battling to save Kathlyn’s life but he didn’t want to lie to himself. She may not make it, the accident was pretty bad.The sounds of heels and shoes made him to raise his head and he saw his supposed family walking towards him while the reporters kept flocking around them and clicking pictures.“A word sir” one of the reporters begged and that was when Gregory stopped but he didn’t say anything.“Don’t you have any shame left?” Nessa retorted, “how do you expect him to talk when his daughter in law is lying critically on the hospital bed and fighting for herself?we all should be praying for her and not you looking for news to scoop” by now tears of pretense were already falling down her face and she was trying very hard to her face to be captured by the camera.Gregory finally cleared his throat and everyone kept quiet, “it is indeed sad that my own family was attacked in this city, I will not let the culprit go, I must
Gregory was making his way down the stairs slowly when the “ding dong” of the door sounded in his ears, one of the helpers in his house quickly ran towards the door to open it. She was shocked when she saw a group of police officers standing outside the door.“How may we help you” the helper asked, this was the first time she was seeing the cops come to the house in the ten years that she has worked for the family.“We are here to see Mr Gregory,” the one who looked like the leader of the team said.“Who is that?”Gregory asked from behind hrr.“Some police officers”“Let them in” he immediately beamed and she opened the door wider for Them to enter.“Hello sir”“Please make yourselves comfortable, I wasn’t expecting you”His wife and kids came over to the parlor and Nessa’s heart skipped a beat when she saw them.“We just came to ask a few questions about your daughter in law’s case, our station was given the jurisdiction to handle it”That was when it dawned on Gregory, these people
The funeral hall was already filled up and everyone was sitting quietly, Emilia was shedding a lot of tears and Nessa was not left out. Only the men had composure on themselves but Gregory was nowhere to be found, he was already on his way to the Philippines.Chris was sitting downcastly near his wife’s casket and Kira was a few feet away from him, she wasn’t crying but to an extent she understood what was happening around her.“Dad, why is mummy in that?” She asked childishly after a while.Chris gestured for her to come over and she crawled towards her dad.“Mummy has gone to heaven and she will be watching us from afar”“Why? She told me she would be back to tuck me into bed so why is she not doing that?she is the one sleeping though”He still wanted to talk when a loud commotion started outside, lifting their heads they saw kathlyn’s parents walking into the funeral home, her mother was crying profusely and her dad was dried eyed but his eyes looked red, obviously from crying too
A black Audi R8 was already parked at the airport awaiting Gregory and immediately he alighted from his private plane, he entered the car and they immediately took off.A group of two bodyguards were with him and another convoy was behind him, all of them had one motive. To keep him safe.After about thirty minutes, the cat drove into a semi spacious compound and it came to a halt in front of the water fountain and after a few seconds, Gregory alighted.“How many years has it been?” He muttered to himself as his eyes drank in the sight of the house, the last time he set his eyes on this house was twelve years ago. The day that Natalia, Nick’s sister was raped and killed. It was in this same house that he was standing in right now.“We should go in now boss” one of the guards whispered to him and he nodded before taking dignified steps towards the house with the aid of his walking stick.The exterior of the house was nothing compared to the inside. The house looked small from the outs
“Welcome master,welcome madam” the maids all bowed in respect as the Wealth couple entered the house, two strangers were following them and they looked like perfect elite people.“Prepare two rooms for our guests”Mrs Wealth said in a sad tone but April was quick to decline.“We have booked return tickets maam, we won’t be staying the night”“At least join us for a meal” Her husband added and Nick finally nodded.“Prepare something light” she ordered to the servants and they nodded before setting to work while her husband gestured Nick and April to the sofa.“I will be right back” Rosa said and slowly made her way upstairs, she had to check if the diary was in the box.……Once Rosa was inside her room, she went to her wardrobe and threw it open. A silver looking box was sitting inside beautifully and she gently carried it and walked back to the bed.As she sat on the bed, she threw the box open and a lot of books were inside. Slowly she began to take them out and finally her eyes caugh
TWELVE YEARS AGOMARCH 15th, 2010Natalia was walking down the hallway to the cafeteria of her college when her classroom teacher announced for her to come to the staff room through the large microphone in the hall.“What does that weirdo want now?”she muttered under her breath as she changed her direction to the staff room. She hated her school and everyone in it.“Good evening Mrs Benson” she greeted as she entered the room and her eyes darkened as she saw who was seated on the chair opposite the teacher…Chris.He looked handsome and alluring in his black leather jacket and his hair was styled perfectly giving him an aura of a playboy and that smile on his face, how she hated it.“Chris has come to pick you for a party and he will bring you back to the dorm when you are done,'' Mrs Benson said, giving a fake smile.Natilia glared at Chris before turning back to her teacher, her face creasing into a frown.“You can’t just make that decision for me Mrs Benson, I am busy and I do not w
In less than twenty minutes, Nessa was already there and Chris was just sitting on the bonnet of his car with a cigarette in between his lips.“You came faster than I thought” he said the moment he saw his sister, she had an angry look on her face but he didn’t care less.“Where is Natalia?” Nessa asked immediately, not bothering to caution him.“Back seat”She rushed there and threw the door open and true to his words, Natalia was at the back of the car and she was lying in the pool of her own blood.“What the fuck did you do Chris?”Neasa bellowed as she threw the car door open and stormed towards her brother.“This is not the time to yell at me Ness, I just need your help and not for you to give me lectures. What should we do?I don’t want dad to find out exactly what happened”“You can’t hide this without father finding out”“Then come up with a plan” he half yelled.He was four years older than her but she was the smart one and always helped him to clear his mess.Scratching the bac
Present day.As soon as Nick's plane landed, he ordered the driver to take him straight to the Furgesson mansion but April kicked against it, to her it was not a good idea not when he was in a bad mood.“Look Nick, you can’t do that now. You are not even in the right frame of mind”“What do you mean April?”he half yelled, “that bastard killed my sister and I can’t sit on my hands, should I?” He was visibly frustrated, “that bastard raped my sister to death and had my memories erased, I can’t forgive him even if the heavens is let loose“No Nick, tnst is not what I mean. Going to his house and confronting him won’t change the fact that he did that terrible thing to Natalia, you just have to get back at him in a much more hurtful manner. The one he would not be able to recover from”Over the years, if there was anything he had learned was the fact that he had to listen to his wife, she was a good Judge of character and could decipher things.“Okay” he finally answered after a while and s
