There was a knock on the door. I lacked the verve to answer the door. But the guest entered after waiting for a while without anyone answering.

It was Salsa. She was having handy a tray of dish and once she caught sight of my moody face and my sorrowful countenance, sobbing hugely, she paused, breathed uneasily and shook her head. She walked gently to my side.

“I made you green tea, doughnuts and tomatoes. I specially made it for you. I guess you need to calm your nerves and pet your heart, after the troubles.”

She was done serving breakfast at the dining. And although she expected me to respond, she didn’t expect it to be prompt. She hadn’t seen much of me these days, and she wondered if I had disappeared out of the villa like she had always thought.

At the time, I was still gazing upon the photos of Brian and fondling with my fingers as I couldn’t stop recalling sensual memories with Brian and what fate had for him now he was in a coma.

Salsa shook her head in pity once she shot an

    I saw the fire in the eyes of Opula and Kate while they discussed with the lawyer and she knew a war was raging; one that would end any time soon and might be heartbreaking.“Why is the family lawyer here?” Salsa queried and settled her gaze on me who was shooting furious eyes at Opula and Kate as they seemed to be carried away by the discussion.“I guess to divorce me.” I replied, “Perhaps I shouldn’t have signed to this contract marriage in the first place since there is only one way in and too many ways out…” she paused as warm tears trickled down her cheeks. “They are embodiments of ungratefulness. After all I did for their insane brother?” I sniffed and heaved a breath.Salsa kept staring at Opula and Kate as they accompanied the lawyer to the visitors’ chamber, obviously to continue the discussion there.“Why don’t you accept the divorce and have your peace since you are not pregnant for Brian. Salsa stroked my long hair, “You have suffered enough. You have sacrificed a lot for

    Melissa! Melissa!” Salsa’s voice called earnestly as she advanced towards the closet, “Are you okay, Melissa? What is wrong with you? This is not ordinary anymore.” She gave an investigative gaze on my bust and face once more.At the time, I was still panting and struggling with breath at the sink. My stomach churned with hotness and more fluid wanted to leave my gut yet I fought it back. I was losing breath now, but I dared to breathe hard.“I shut my eyes and summoned the courage to fight off the urge to throw up again. “What is wrong with me?” I asked within myself, pondering over what I hadn’t eaten for the past days.My thought was in the direction of the food I hadn’t eaten for days now and if it was getting me sick already.“Are you OK, Melissa?” Salsa hounded me with her endless questions.Forcefully I replied her, “I am just fine. Let me be!” I snapped, almost getting furious at her. “I think I am sick. I may be visiting the family doctor soon.” I breathed uneasily and spat a

    I was able to make it to another doctor, not too far from the major town, but far from eyeshot.For over thirty minutes, I perched at my seat, waiting for the doctor to come up with the results of the test he conducted on me.He had mentioned the pregnancy confirmatory test, and my anxiety had built like rivers at the sea.The doctor was delaying and I was as anxious as a stolen cat. I couldn’t wait to hear the result despite having the instinct it was pregnancy. I had never been so cautious in life than I am now.My arms wrapped around my belly in expectation of the pregnancy.Smiling cheek to cheek, the doctor walked out with a paper in his hand. Although the smile was contagious, I wasn’t ready to return the compliment, so I frowned.As soon as he settled down he intoned, “Congratulations, Melissa,” The doctor offered a warm handshake to me, “You are two weeks pregnant, Melissa.” He handed the test result to me, his smile still kept.“Wow! Oh my God” I struggled to mutter, leaving

    I was stroking my sizeable belly while I stared at Brian’s photo with the test result handy. Right now my joy was full; I was carrying the baby of my soul food, a man that had stolen my heart to a coma; my true destiny.There was a shuffling walker at the corridor; obviously someone was approaching my chamber.Immediately I perceived an intruder, I caught the test result, squeezed it and hid out of eye shot.The door creaked and opened afterward.“Good morning, dear,” Eva greeted as she stood at the door, and smiled cheerfully at me, who smiled back.“I guess you are feeling better now. You were all tears when I checked on you earlier.”I had a light makeover on my face and a broader gown over my body, so as to hide symptoms of my pregnancy.“Thank you Eva,” I said softly, “I am getting stronger even when I shouldn’t. I don’t think it is ever going to be easy without a gentle soul as he.” My gaze was on the photo of Brian on the wall.Eva advanced forward, “I can’t thank you enough fo

    Eva grinned briefly, “He was expecting war I guess. He wants you to finish strong. That is why you must not give in to the fuss my sisters are pulling. Your right is your right. My father drafted the clauses in the marriage agreement to benefit you and your husband. This the time you must stand firm and stop shying away.”I hummed and sucked my teeth; when I thought my husband’s sanity, which was restored, would fetch the peace I had long desired, I never knew a fresh endless war had just begun. I wondered how I was going to cope with two toxic sisters that were ready to pour hell on me.“They feel cheated, disgruntled and rejected. They think I am stealing from them. If my husband were here I wouldn’t bother because he has been destined to be the heir.” I sniffed back tears, “indeed Brian’s absence is the reason for this war. I wonder why he would want me to finish strong. Is he not going to survive the coma? Does that sound like a farewell?”Warm tears trickled down my cheeks.She i

    Salsa was serving breakfast when I walked past her and grabbed her arm, “Apologies for yelling at you the other day,” I said, a contagious smile hanging on my face.She shrugged and screwed up her face. “Directing my mouth to my business would be honorable. I hate being yelled at. You and I have come a long way in this villa. I am hurt that you of all people don’t trust me.” She scowled and continued.“I bought this for you. I guess you will like it.” I pulled out the pack from my bag and handed over to her. “I guess you will like it.”“Chocolate?” Salsa intoned and smiled gracefully before picking out a bar to lick, “How do you know that I like chocolate? Have you been stalking me?” she asked jocularly and licked more of the chocolate.We burst into brief laughter.She breathed uneasily. “Well, I just want to let you know that Fanny wants to have breakfast with you, so I would suggest you be in your best dress. You know he hates it when you look unkempt.” she paused and dimmed her ey

    “Keep shut! What arrant nonsense! You are blurting out nonsense!” Fanny sprang to his feet and pointed at them, “Now listen up, Melissa can only be divorced by one person, and he is no other than Brian, her husband…”Opula yelled back, “Brian is unconscious in the hospital. He is in a coma. And we don’t know what fate awaits him. This is the third week and he is yet to wake.”At that point, I couldn’t lay low anymore. I had to put them in the box they belong to. “And it doesn’t mean he is not going to wake up!”I yelled, “Are you the giver of life? You are both senseless grownups. I pointed at them, “Why don’t you learn to keep shut and wait for my husband to wake up before the marriage annulment.”Kate chuckled mockingly at me, “Your husband?” she turned her gaze at Opula , who joined her to let a scoffing laughter at me, “Did you hear the poor little thing? Your husband? You are but an arranged wife, guided by a contract; it is only a gold digger like you that will stick around even

    Kate was staring at the statement of account from the Fanny Group’s account department. And it was obvious money was being withdrawn from Brian’s current account. This had never happened before, and it called for attention.“For Christ's sake, Brian is in a coma and we don’t even know if he will survive and someone, somewhere is withdrawing from this account. Who the hell could be doing this?” she asked within herself as the initial account balance of $1 million being reduced to $800 thousand.Opula stepped into her chamber, looking anxiously skeptical. For over an hour she had been wondering who could be stealing from the account, so as soon as Kate walked into her chamber, she handed her the statement of account.“Hey Kate, do you have any clue about who could be doing this?” she asked and took the paper to have a proper look at it.Kate shook her head, “I wish I had. The person also made another withdrawal of $100 thousand today, and it is obvious it is being done with a credit car

    On this day, mom was in her garden harvesting some bunches of flower which had posed as weed to her vegetables, when a Ferrari sped and halted at her compound.She never expected a visitor and since she wasn’t expecting any, she busied herself with the weeding and didn’t consider checking who it was.“My mother-in-law! Where are you? I am here!” a voice called and my mom raised her gaze from the ground. Suddenly, she had familiarized herself with such name because she was certain I would get married to Rod Benson, whether I like it or not.And emphatically, no one called her by this name except Rod Benson. When she raised her gaze she saw a young man in a T-shirt and jeans, having dark shades on his eyes, with luxury hanging around him.Indeed, mom was aging; she couldn’t recognize who it was until Rod took off his dark shades and lit his face with a smile.“Rod Benson,” mom called, and tossed her hoe to the ground before dusting her hand on her wrapper to go forth to him. “My son-in-

    Once the Lamborghini halted, Rod furiously opened the door and alighted as lightning struck through the sky. His face was filled with thunder and brimstone. He had handy the gift items which I rejected. Snubbing the servants that greeted Rod was an understatement; he almost hit some of them that got in his way.He almost bumped into some of them, and he didn’t stop rolling his eyes at those that murmured about his anger. The fact was that the son of a billionaire was furious and prancing like a bull to confront his father .When he barged into the penthouse, he met his father, addressing a few of his domestic servants about what to do at his new site.“Everyone leave now. I want to have a word with my father!” Rod commanded through clenched teeth.And promptly under the sound of his voice the servants took a walk, leaving father and son.“What the hell was that, son?” Mr. Benson groaned as he gaped at Rod, who was fuming with despair and scorn. The task of getting an eligible wife was

    Salsa was standing idly; despair crowding in and humiliation hung over her. Opula, Kate and Fanny surrounded her. Earlier the next day, Kate had given Salsa a sack letter, which Salsa presented to Fanny.When everyone saw the fallen countenance on Fanny this morning, they knew he was going to blow hot at his Kate.But then Fanny had nullified the sack letter and invited the girls, “Why would you sack my chief chef? Do you realize Salsa has rendered a selfless service to this family? She has come a long way with us that the only thing that remains is to bear our surname.”Kate fumed at Salsa and pointed at her, “Did you report me to my father?” she queried her and turned to Fanny to say, “Father, Salsa has overstayed her welcome as the chief chef. It is time for her to leave. We are going to hire another chief chef who is respectful and loyal…”Salsa broke down in tears and couldn’t raise her gaze at her accusers.Fanny queried Kate, “What the hell did she do to have warranted a sack?

    I was having a wash in the bathroom when I overheard the creaking of doors. I wouldn’t have perceived who it was if I hadn’t heard the shrilling of china at my dining table; it was obvious Salsa had come to serve me breakfast.“Once you are done, don’t leave, Salsa. I want to have a word with you,” I said right from the Jacuzzi.“Okay, ma’am,” she replied, tone stiffened and easily quenching without much echoing. She knew I was pissed off and my groaning tone which hummed Brian’s favorite song could show it.It was when I stepped out of the bathroom that I saw Salsa had quite a couple of stuff in her hand; I could see a sizable box, a stylish Italian gown, a piece of paper.“Without telling me to wait behind, I would have waited,” Salsa said, all smiles a she placed them on my bed, “You will like them. Rod is out to shower you with priceless gifts. This is an Italian gown worth two million dollars, this is a check for five million dollars and this is a beautiful pearl…”My face thicke

    Salsa was out of the villa to meet with Rod after she got a phone call from him. When I thought Rod’s visit was just going to happen once, it suddenly became a habit which might not stop soon.Salsa was all smiles once she got on Rod’s private jet, and she brought out some flasks of food. “I made you some intercontinental dishes which you will like. You can’t find it anywhere around,” she said and placed the food flask in front of him.Rod shot a delightsome smile at the food flask before sighing and asking, “How is my sweetheart, Melissa?Salsa forced a smile after corking her eyebrow. Although she was too thrilled about the day to let anyone offend her, she couldn’t stand Rod snubbing her just to ask her about me.She took a few steps towards Rod, and she was so close now that her warm breath burnt his nose, “Red tie doesn’t fit this sleeve shirt,” she said as she stretched the collar of his sleeves and the edge of his tuxedo. “Next time you could wear a black tie. You are too hands

    Opula and Kate were having a nice time at the poolside, and whenever they gathered at such a time, the two names that never left her mouth were Brian and my name. She regretted it all now; she wished she hadn’t contracted me for this marriage.“I thought she was naïve and timid the very first day I met her,” Opula said to Kate, who was busy popping wine, “I never knew this poor Melissa wasn’t actually poor in mind. Today she is being problematic …”Kate shrugged, “You hired a beast and forgot to tame its fire. That rotten kitten is going to be our endless nightmare if we don’t act fast. I don’t need to remind you of the wings she has grown.”Opula caught sight of Fanny and I driving out in the Rolls-Royce, and she clenched her jaw and said, “Father is not even helping issues. But I know the problem with him. My husband mentioned it to me the other days and I doubted him. But right now I am beginning to believe him.”Kate’s face scowled in anxiety as she asked, “What could that be? Gis

    Standing before the microphone, with the earpods tightly worn on my ears often reminded me of Brian. The last place I saw him before slumping into a coma was his studio, where he sang his favorite song.As I stood before the microphone to sing a little, nothing else sounded from me than a sobbing tone. To say I had missed Brian was an understatement. I saw him virtually in everything I did.And right about now, I could see him standing over there just behind the glass door, smiling cheek to cheek and hearing me sing his favorite song.But it was only imagination. Imaginations had ways of playing chase with our emotions, and I was only a victim. I couldn’t continue with the singing practice.I had broken down in tears several times and wasted precious time reminiscing about Brian and what our marriage would look like if he were around. I knew if he were here all these fights and quarrels wouldn’t have happened because he would have assumed his rightful position as the heir to the Fanny

    In the heat of the quarrel, the doctor invited the security, who bundled Opula and Kate away. And because Fanny breached the policy guarding noise making at the emergency ward, the doctor was forced to ask Fanny and Eva to leave immediately.The doctor wasn’t going easy with me either. Although he scolded me, he gave me some pieces of advice which I found unnecessary and useless.A wave of anger rolled over the doctor as he asked, “Why did you do this, Melissa? You know you are pregnant, yet you went ahead to donate blood to your husband. Do you want to die?”My brow roughened as I shot a quarrelsome gaze at him. At the time, I was lacking the verve to speak up, but my thunderous face queried him annoyingly. I wished I could keep at my silence but I couldn’t. Why would the doctor ask me such a question?”“My husband’s life is involved here, doctor,” my soft tone came through, as I said yet further, “He has no one except me. It is only me that can save him…”The doctor’s wobbled eyes i

    Once Fanny caught sight of the doctor who was prancing out of the emergency ward, he scampered and reached him, “Doctor, doctor,” he called, “Please, how is Melissa? I hope she is still alive?”The doctor grabbed Fanny firmly on the shoulders and affirmed, “There is nothing to worry about, Fanny. Melissa is doing pretty well and after some bed rest, she is going to join you.”Fanny raised his hands to the sky, “Oh my God. This is good news,” he said and when the doctor was about to step away, he grabbed his hands and asked yet again, “Please doctor, what could be the reason for the slumping? Melissa is my daughter-in-law. She has been healthy. I least expected such a thing to happen to her.”The doctor put a smirk on his face and recalled that Melissa had once pleaded with him not to mention her pregnancy to anyone. She was grateful to Salsa, who brought her to the hospital where she had been doing her antenatal. The doctor had always given her maximum cooperation, unlike the family d
