Lillian decided there was no point in trying to fight for her life when she would die in a few minutes. One would think she truly would not be able to die that easily as she had bragged.
But, wait a minute! Why was she breathing perfectly well and normal when she was being strangled? Strangled? There was not even a hint of pressure against her neck. What was going on? What was she doing, then? She looked at her, but her eyes were fixed on the door to the room.
"Linda!" Linda heard her name for the third time and she knew who that voice belonged to. She had no choice but to do what she was doing. "Let's go to the hospital. Nath's awake and he needs to see you first so we could introduce you to him," she heard.&nbs
Nester stood in akimbo as the doctor talked to her and Nathaniel's mother about Nath's quick recovery and how amazing it was for all the doctors who did the surgery. "It is really miraculous that someone would become conscious after that kind of surgery. It's all thanks to God," the doctor said. "During this recovery period, please do not talk to him about something that can unnerve or shock him. You can do this after he is fully recovered.""Thank you so much, doctor. Can he recognize faces now?" His mother asked, eager to know if her son's illness had been cured.The doctor nodded and smiled. "He will start recognizing faces that he sees now. You don't have to worry about that. He needs a whole lot of rest, so we won
Nathaniel sat up on his hospital bed and looked at the sheet of paper in his hand. It was neatly folded but had been rumpled when it was pushed into his hand earlier by Linda as she held his hand. He did not know what was there, but he knew he should not have opened it in anyone's presence if she had to secretly give it to him.He opened the paper and read, "I know you're not in the right state of mind, but this is urgent. Come with the police to the address below. Warn the police, no sirens."What was that all about? He should go with the police? To do what? He felt the urge to ignore the missive and sleep since he was drowsy, but decided against it as she remembered something.
Nathaniel offered to drive the ladies home in Lillian's car that was brought to the place by the men. Nester had been taken away by the police to be investigated, but he still found it very hard to believe all what Linda explained to him about her. Nester was a loyal assistant to him, so he could not understand what could prompt her into killing.Lillian could not help but keep asking if he was okay and even begged Linda to drive instead of Nath which she gladly accepted and had Dorcas sit beside her while Lillian and Nathaniel sat behind them in the backseat. "Are you sure you're okay?" Lillian asked as he laced their fingers together. He kept smiling, but she could not lay a finger on the exact thing that could be making him smile.
Lillian walked gently to meet the only friend she had made in her father's neighborhood. She'd come to spend her holiday with her father and it had ended so quick she would be leaving the next day which was Sunday to get ready for the resumption on Monday.She was going to miss her friend. The first time they met,he had been very warm to her and they had become fast friends, if not best friends.
Lillian swayed her hips from side to side as she walked down the hallway of her mother's company. She was radiating happiness and the aroma of her beauty got every of the employees' mouth to get watered. Most of them could not help but look at her more than once. She was walking with confidence and each step she took spoke a lot about it. She was every man's dreams and every lady's goal and the only proud daughter of her parents.She adjusted the straps that were attached to the front of her long sleeved shirt which was on top of a black skirt that reached and rested on her knees. She was the personal assistant of the company while her mother was the CEO, so she needed to look her best. One could always wonder why she was putting on a long sleeved shirt in a very hot weather condition, but she had her reasons. Not tha
"Is that not Nath? Sosanya Nathaniel?" Lillian asked with a broad smile on her face but still wondering if he was truly the one in the picture. It's been twelve years. Could she recognize him? She waited hurriedly for her mother to talk.Grace sighed. "What's wrong with you?"
Nester sashayed into the advertising company where she worked. She smiled broadly at other employees who greeted her warmly. She was the Assistant of the owner and manager of the company.She knew she was late to work on a Monday morning, so she hurried into her boss's office. He would surely nag her. He was the type that did not tolerate idleness when it comes to work. She wished she could get away with it this time as she always did because she was his favorite employee.She was brilliant, gentle and hardworking. Plus,she was beautiful and also the best employee of the year. That made most of the other employees envy,adore and respect her.
The land phone and his cell phone went off at the same time in his office. Sosanya Nathaniel ignored the less important one and picked up his cellphone due to the name it showed. It was one of the men he'd hired to help him look for a woman, a young woman of about twenty - eight with the name, Lillian and with a tattoo on her left arm.So far, there hadn't been any tangible result but he hoped there would as he picked
