The bus ride to Gloria's house was a silent one, they were both immersed in their own thoughts. Gloria lives in town and she runs in between jobs, her mother died few years back leaving her to cater for two boys. She had to drop out of school so she could work, and pay the bills. That's why she had to do some despicable things so she and her siblings could survive, like sleep with Dante.And even some customers so she could keep the job at the club, she also works at a grocery store here in town. She needs all the money that she can get at this point, there are still some debt she still need to clear off.Like the one her useless father left her, and the medical bills from when her mom was sick, she had died of cancer. ' Ding ' the sound of the bus brought Gloria back to reality."Hey Jane we are here, let's go." Gloria said to Jane, Jane stood up and followed after herin about five minutes they arrived at Gloria's house, Gloria brought out her own spare key and opened the door."C
Jane woke up feeling pains all over her body, she had sustained some bruises yesterday from the struggle with that freak.She really needed to rest, there was no way she was going to work today. Or better still get another job, she thought to herself. She slowly opened her eyes, and studied her environment. This doesn't look like her room, she thought. And there was no Mrs Whitney, and Christopher in sight.Then she remembered she didn't go home yesterday, she slept over at Gloria's house. She got up from the bed, and found no one beside her. ' Gloria must be up ' she thought.She climbed down from the bed, picked up her phone. It was already past 9am."I really overslept," Jane said and quickly dashed to the bathroom to take a bath. She was done in less than five minutes, she came back into the room and her eyes traveled to a gown on the bed. She hadn't notice that before, gloria must have placed it there ' how thoughtful of her ' she thought to herself. She quickly dressed up, and
Jane got home with no one in sight."Mrs Whitney haven't returned?" she asked herself."Christopher mummy is back," she called out, still no response. She called again like two more times still no response, she thought to check with Juliet if Chris was with them. She had tried calling Mrs Whitney twice, to confirm if she dropped him there. Or if he was with her but, she wasn't picking up. She isn't the type that likes going to other people's house, even Zain had invited her over severally. She refused also, now she has no choice but to go over.She really needs to know where her son is she really misses him a lot.Jane walked over to Juliet's house, and knocked. After waiting for sometime that seems like two minutes, Juliet opened the door with her baby in her hands.She just put to bed few months ago, and she's on leave so its understandable why she's always home. "Hey Jane! Good morning, come in. It's a suprise to see you here this morning, I hardly see you around. If not for Chri
Rage filled Zain upon hearing what she said, though he was stunned that she had told him he felt a bit warm inside. She has never spoken to him for than a minute but, still the anger and rage he was feeling couldn't be suppressed, how dare that man try to touch her?"Was he crazy?" he finally asked trying not to sound as angry as he was, he couldn't help but be angry. And he's even more angry at himself because he wasn't there to look after her, he couldn't protect her."No, he seems perfectly fine to me." Jane replied, her reply jolted him back to reality."And he wasn't drunk?" Zain asked again."Not at all, he was in his right senses." Jane answered again."I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you," Zain said with sadness evident in his tone which left Jane dumbfounded. she didn't know what to say, why is he apologizing to her? Not like she had employed him as a bodyguard or something, why is he being like this? ' Jane thought in her head. "You should stop that job it's really dangero
Jane felt red all over, she wished the ground could just open up and swallow her right now. And what does she mean they were both adults? She hope she's not thinking anything in that head of hers? Jane thought to herself and quickly rushed to the door. She opened it, and was about to dash out when Zain stopped her."You are leaving?" Zain said almost wanting to cry. "Yes I have to, we were done talking anyways. I still have a lot to do at home, I will see you around bye." Jane said without even looking at him or Juliet. She's sure she said those words in less than thirty seconds, she just needs to get out of Zain's room immediately.She left the room to look for Chris, after all he was the main reason she came here. She got to the living room and saw him and John sleeping peacefully on the couch. She carefully carried him so as not to wake him or John up.They must have been exhausted from all the playing, she thought to herself She moved closer to the door, opened it and left. She s
Mrs Whitney looked at the girl before her, and couldn't help but not feel only sad she was heartbroken also. She had watched her fight for life so many times especially when she went into labour when she was going to have Chris.She has really been through a lot, that's exactly why she has kept this certain secret from her for the past four years. And she hasn't had the courage to tell her yet at least not now. She continued consoling and wiping her tears till she stopped crying."Now child tell me what happened to you? What happened last night? Why are you here crying?" Mrs Whitney finally asked her after what seems like an endless emotional episode. "A customer tried to rape me" Jane replied her amidst tears."What! How did that happen? You seriously need to stop that job, I never agreed to it from the start." Mrs Whitney said obviously very angry.Jane stood up from the bed, wiped her tears and walked to the window. "But Mrs Whitney, you know there's no any other job around. It w
It's been five years since the incident that shattered and almost took my life. Five years of learning and unlearning, five years of constant toture and nightmare. You must be wondering what am talking about right?"Jane! Jane!! Jane!!! Wake up" Cassie said almost whispering. Cassie is Jane's best friend, they've known each other almost all their lives. Twelve years to be exact, Jane just turned 16 and Cassie is 10 months older.They both met at the orphanage they currently live in, today they had both plan on escaping the orphanage. They are tired of life here, apart from the food that's never enough. And the rag they wear called clothes, not like they are complaining or something. They are really grateful to these people that have taken of them all their lives but, they really want more.They want a better life, they want to go to school. Experience and enjoy life but, the orphanage won't let them leave. Unless someone comes and adopts them, or marry them off.Now it's time to esca
' How could she do this to me?' Christopher has been asking himself this question, for the past twelve hours. Angel, the girl he loves with all heart and very being had betrayed him. He caught her in bed with his so called best friend, and she didn't even feel remorseful.He had gone to discuss some business deals with Carlos,when he caught them sleeping with each other.Their fathers are business competitors but, that didn't stop their eldest sons from becoming friends. Since they attended the same high school, college and also studied the same course.Christopher's father, Daniel Smith owns the biggest aviation company in the industry. He his a multi billionaire, and he had always warned him against been friends with Carlos.Says he's his enemy's son, and he should be his enemy too. But Chris hadn't taken his father's words to heart then, he was right after all.Only an enemy will betray a friend by sleeping with his woman, and not just any girl. The girl he loves with all his hear
