3RD POV:It was judgment day for all as the police officers were moving from mansion to mansion, at least two mansions. The police had arrested Jenny and her men, meanwhile Jenny's brain kept replaying her killing Nathaniel all over again. She couldn't believe she did that, she kept staring at the police officer's gun on his waist and debated if she should take it and kill herself or not.“I need to kill myself, so I can hurriedly join Nathaniel and apologize.” She said to herself but luckily or unluckily, the policeman who was standing right in front of her cell, got a call and left.Jenny sucked her teeth sharply at that and rocked herself back and forth as she was in complete disarray.The thing with obsession is you never know when it turns from love to such a monastery feeling. Where you are capable of doing anything without thinking, even if it's crazy and impulsive and violent. Jenny was in dismay and she just kept reflecting on all her actions, from lying about needing blood j
3RD POV:Meanwhile during the arrest. .“Go back and do better ... .love and take care of your sister…..listen to Lydia, protect and cherish her, she has been there for you since day one, so love her with all your heart…..Prioritize everyone you see in your room as soon as you wake up. Forgive everyone like your mother who put you in this condition but keep at a distance and never forget.This is a second chance for you to live better and go about having a happy life. It's not your time to go, so RETURN BACK!” The next thing the doctors saw was Nathaniel's heart rate had picked up.“He's back!” They exclaimed with relief and happiness. The medical team conducted some observations and went ahead to take notes. The doctor and nurse washed up from the surgery room taking off their clothes and disposed of their gloves and nose mask, they rinsed off and went outside. This was about an hour after the young intern had given the entire crew the horrible news. Everyone was in dismay but held
LYDIA'S POV:5 YEARS LATER:“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you…” Everyone sang as I celebrated yet another year. Lorena recorded me as I stood there with my cake pouting.I had woken up feeling old, it was probably due to the fact that it was almost my special month again. Everyone including my husband has been trying to cheer me up. After laying on bed for a minute just thinking about my age for no specific reason, my husband walked in with breakfast and holding my greatest gifts followed behind him.“Happy birthday mummy!” My three year old daughter and son spoke in unison. Three years ago, I had given birth to my beautiful twins, Madison and Mason KING. Nathaniel often said that day was the scariest day of his entire life. I almost died after giving birth to my children. But when I held the two of them in my hands, I cried tears of joy. I totally understood why Jacob and Melissa named their child, Treasure.“Happy birthday my queen.” Nathaniel kissed my forehead, placin
I Swear, Let Me Love You Again Written by Okeke-Eze Ifeoma Isabella (Omaisabella) "How are you today Mrs Lydia?" Nurse Nia, who had been in charge of the blood transfusion since we began, asked with a smile as wore her gloves. "I'm okay." I replied tiredly and shook a bit as she inserted the needle after looking for an easy access vein. "You seem tired." She analyzed me but I just shrugged it off. I was tired physically, mentally, emotionally but everything was somehow going to get better. I really hoped so. As we were about to start talking, Doctor Fian and my husband entered the room. I grinned just looking at him in his blue suit and trousers. He was just so handsome and many would describe him as having the attributes of a Greek god. Every time I saw him, I realized why I loved him. "Lydia, how are you doing? Have you been taking all your vitamins and iron supplements?" Doctor Fian asked and I nodded in response feeling blood leave my body. "How are you Nathan?" I asked him
"Look, they are all minor cuts." I moved towards her, showing him the cuts. "Nothing too serious and you made me give my blood away for just this?"Nathan knitted his eyebrow staring at my proof and seemed genuinely taken aback while his mother remained surprisingly silent."What is she talking about Aubrey?" Nathan asked and I was a bit elated he was finally listening to me."I..I don't kn..know what's she talking about..The cuts might be minor but the pain is severe. I haven't even had time to check them with my eyes, the doctors simply said they were deep and since I didn't want to irritate myself by staring at them." Aubrey stammered out crying in between. His mother instantly comforted her while Nathan's look changed from surprise to annoyance. Annoyance probably channeled towards me for speaking the truth."Like why would you even say that? I'm literally here on the hospital bed fighting for my life and yet…" She trailed off speaking to me, more tears fell from her eyes."Don't
Lydia’s povI took a look at the mansion one last time. I felt extremely pathetic that someone like me would let myself be played with like this.I should have sensed that. All these years, he never bothered to know me more and even the maids got more chances to see him than me. How could I be so naive to believe that such a cold man would ever treat me differently?No, he is not that cold. It’s just his tenderness was never for me... I was just a nobody…"Well, well, looks like you're finally leaving?" A voice filled with mockery came from my back and when I looked back I saw Dia, she is one of the maids. She glanced from my suitcase to my face. Lomi, another maid, stood next to her."Awww…I wanna say we are going to be so hurt and miss you but that will be a very nasty lie. If you go, who will do all our house chores?" Dia added."Is everything okay Mrs Lydia? Mrs. King asked us to pack your things." Lomi asked with sincere worry in her tone. I bit my lip to prevent myself from bre
NATHAN'S POV:Sitting in the large room with eyes focused on the financial report while the CFO presented. I could hear him speak but I wasn't listening. I flipped through the document and ensured the finances were in place. My phone vibrated from my pocket rather than holding up till the end of the meeting to respond or check it like I usually do. I unlocked my phone in haste expecting a message from a particular someone who I haven't heard from for a few days now.I snorted in annoyance when I saw a message from one of my business partners. I dropped my phone on the table and snapped my eyes shut. Opening my eyes, I met everyone staring at me and the room dead dropped silent. Rolling my eyes at them, I wordlessly motioned for him to proceed."Are you alright sir?" 20 minutes later, the meeting came to an end. I nodded 'yes' in response to my assistant's questionAs we walked through the door, I took in the impressive view. The office was spacious and airy, with tall windows that o
NATHAN'S POV:I was completely exhausted and drained and was about to head home after a long day. I had visited Aubrey and surprisingly the doctors had said she was slowly getting better and that added some light to my day. My happiness died down when I remembered it was all because of her that I lost Lydia and I still haven't heard a word from her."Hello?" I picked up my phone with an attitude while sitting in the back of Range Rover as the driver started the car."Watch your tone." She spoke sternly and I pursed my lips not really in the mood to hear her go off. My mum had been calling and texting all day and I hadn't replied because she always seemed to have the wrong word to say to set me off."Your sister is back! So let's have dinner tonight and I don't want to hear no buts." She hung up afterwards and I sighed deeply.My little sister, Rachel, had been out of the country for a while spending time with her boyfriend who I had not met. Rachel was literally my mum's twin, she loo
