Shawn called his father and waited for him to take his calls.He and his father used to be best of friends before the separation but now, it felt so real to be back as father and son again.As he sat cuddling Joana, waiting for his father to take calls, he noticed his father was not taking up his calls perhaps, he was busy. “ Your dad isn't taking up, why?” Joana asked him with a worried look on her face.Shawn did not seem interested in the calls anyway, he wanted to be with Joana and probably sort things with his father later.“ Yeah, I think the old man is busy,” He said, glaring into Joana's eyeballs.” I want to spend more time being around you in my world,” he said in a whisper.As he resolved to begin his romance with Joana, his phone rang and he frowned at the deprivation. “ Hey Dad, how was your night? You called a while ago” Shawn’s voice thrilled. “ How ridiculous, Shawn, “ His father giggled.“ What's up with you, man? You tend to miss me too much these days” Shawn jok
Holding Joana’s phone, Shawn’s body began to shudder as his heart was broken into tiny little shards. He could not believe that the woman he loved was secretly seeing someone; not just someone, but his callous cousin, Anthonio, her ex-boyfriend.Scrolling to read the message, he discovered Anthonio and Joana had an agreement to meet at a lounge by 6 pm today and he was calling her all manner of sweet names, expressing how much he loved her and couldn't wait to marry her soon.Weighed down, he inhaled deeply while waiting patiently for Joana to come out of the bathroom. He knows how much he loves her and will kill anyone because of her.For Anthonio to show up after many months to destroy his happiness again would warrant his death. Privately, Shawn has been carrying out a secret investigation on Anthonio and realized Anthonio left Atlanta. He was sure Anthonio was back in Atlanta again. The death of his mom must be avenged and even his life that Anthonio tried to claim some year
The nights came so quickly that day. It's been a hard moment for Sophia especially now that she is abandoned by almost all that she loves.It's been four days since Matthew left the house and has never called once. Nanny Esung too had an emergency in her family home and has been away since yesterday. Sophia has been calling Joana who promised to show up yesterday but couldn't show up claiming she was sorting out something with Shawn and promised to come to see her today before it was evening and now, it's night already. Tick shadows of darkness hovered over her beautiful face as she sat by the widow in the living room, gulping a full bottle of Romanee Conti wine with her.Kelly, Joana’s friend, had called Sophia earlier asking how she was faring and Sophia had smiled away her pain, coaxing Kelly with words. Aside from Joana, Sophia has vowed never to let anyone find out about her predicaments especially now that everyone is envious of the fact that she was married to a billiona
Sophia’s heart fluttered the moment her gaze met with Chris's. Chris swallowed hard upon seeing Sophia. He couldn't look at one second. The awkward silence that engulfed the air broke off when Chris greeted Sophia first in his husky voice, shutting the door gently. His face looked pale like he had many things to explain to the world.“ Good morning, Chris'' Sophia, replied in a shaky voice, taking her gaze off him. Why does she feel a certain way towards him? She thought. “ Did you sleep well?” his voice struck surprisingly at Sophia causing her beautiful skin to grow goosebumps. She looked at him before saying a word. His captivating eyes were fixated on her like he was scanning her mood and waiting for the next word she would utter.“ Yes, I sleep well, but do you —” “ Good morning Miss Callaghan, you are awake” Nanny walked down from the kitchen, interrupting Sophia's conversation with Chris.“ Good morning Nanny, when did you come back?” She asked, narrowing her eyes to N
At about 10 pm, that day, Matthew woke up from bed because he was pressed and he needed to empty his bladder of the stored urine to be free.Like a kid, he jumped off the bed, holding his conk firmly so he wouldn't urinate on his body before he got to the bathroom.Thrusting the door open, he rushed to the WC holding the head of his conk to offload the urine in his body.“ Argh! I almost urinated on my body” He exclaimed as he stood shaking his conk vigorously to take off the remaining urine left inside him.Walking leisurely to the shower, he allowed the water to cool off his body, suddenly flooding his mind with yesterday’s moment.The deal of 8.5 billion dollars he hit yesterday made him get drunk with Kayla and some friends in a hotel. Kayla insisted they spend the night in the hotel together but Matthew bluntly refused to make excuses with his wife at home and Kayla gave him a defiant look Thank goodness, the road was traffic-free. It was a nice ride back home.“Crazy!” He l
In the quietude of the house that day, a shrill cry echoed from upstairs, interrupting the peace of the house. Nanny was in the wine cellar, with a napkin, dusting each of the wine bottles arranged attractively on the shelf.She paused at the interruption, processing the voice coming from upstairs.“ Isn't that Mrs Callaghan shouting upstairs? What’s going on with her?” Nanny soliloquized, continuing her cleaning.Just then, the scream increased and she couldn't take it this time around. She quickly dropped the napkin in her hands to rush upstairs. At that moment, Chris heard the scream too. He burst out of his room seeing Nanny running upstairs and followed her. “ Nanny hold on, what is happening to Miss Sophia?” he asked while trying to meet Nanny’s pace but she ignored him completely.It took about 25 minutes to arrive at the Library where Sophia was screaming for help.No one had a clue that Matthew was In there in the room screwing her up. The screams suddenly began to sub
At the hospital, Sophia lay on the bed with a bandage on her chin running to her head upward. The situation would have led to death if they hadn't interrupted Matthew and had come to her rescue.Nanny sighed deeply as she sat down on the couch beside Sophia’s bed, patting her warm hands. She could not imagine the ugly situation back home earlier. Her boss has been acting weird lately and she suspects his actions to be related to a substance abuser already because she had once lived with one.‘Mr Callaghan is a beast’ She caused Matthew in her mind, reminiscing the ugly situation earlier. It's been six hours now and Sophia could barely open her eyes. Without any will, Nanny had to call Joana to inform her about Sophia’s condition and Joana promised she was on her way.Sophia has been enduring this abuse for a long time and Nanny wondered why the young lady couldn't just seek help or leave to her father. It was quite unfortunate that Sophia was among the list of the young women
Sophia’s condition scared the hell out of Joana. She did not have an idea the situation was this badShe hugged Sophia and turned to Nanny. “ Nanny, what happened to my sister? Who did this to her and where is Matthew? “ She asked but there was no reply from Nanny.Nanny’s face was swollen and one could barely hear her when she spoke. She was more like a mother to Sophia and blamed her helpless self most of the time. “ I don't know where to start from” Nanny managed to let out.“ Matthew abused me again, Joana,” Sophia surprisingly explained in a cracked voice.Upon hearing Sophia’s confession, Joana suddenly went numb, her hands shaking tremendously like she had essential tremors.“ Matthew did this to you?” She asked with lips parted in awe and Nanny looked away painfully. Upon hearing this, Joana angrily grabbed her phone to call Mathew and Sophia cast her painful gaze at her sister.“ He is not gonna take your calls” Sophia, In her lifeless state assured and suddenly noticed th
