"I think that's a story for another day Sunny". " I want to know mum" she sat up and held her mother's hand gently "I've seen you on the television and also in the magazine with this man and you told me about a rich partner you work with".
"I remember, I told you that" Rebecca smiled and snooty her daughter's hair. "He was just a partner" she stopped and looked at her daughter's curious gaze "And also a lover but I never had planned on marrying him or ever remarrying".
"You never thought it would help you move forward, away from the pain, you know someone that would make you forget all about your pain". " They'll be a point in someone's life when pain stops them from a lot of things...
No matter how much you try to fight it, you still find yourself at the same place unless you decide to let go of that pain, which is not easy as it sounds.
And how will you feel when you learn that I had moved on with my life, married and with children, leaving you with this monster? You'll hate me forever Sunny, for leaving you and starting life without you".
That would really hurt her, Sunny thought, go know she left her after alone knowing what sort of a man her father is, her mother kissed her goodnight and stood to leave.
"What's his name? "Don Frances," Rebecca said before shutting the food behind her, calling that name reminds her of a lot of memory but she wasn't going to think of it now.
Sunny lay in her bed and played the name on her head till she slept off.
"You meant that both of you kissed! Jade asked surprised why Gina just stared with an open mouth. " You didn't even bother telling us about it" "I'm doing that now". " It makes a huge difference" Jade scolded her but Sunny knows that she was very happy with the news.
"You should have told us but you waited for days to tell us". " I'm sorry guys...but it was nothing, it was only a kiss". "Oh, Gina placed her palm on her forehead and act faintly. "Say that again and I'm going to bury you alive"
"I mean it guys, we just kissed, there was nothing else in it" "Of course, there is...thus mean you both had feelings for each other and probably end up dating". " That would be wonderful" Gina agreed.
Sunny watched them for a while as they kept talking, it just feels like she was going to lose her mind and soul if she let them keep going. "For goodness sake guys, shut up!
They stopped and looked at her in surprise. "There's nothing wonderful about it because we won't be dating or doing any of what you guys are saying".
"Why? Gina asked still in shock " Josh is finally going back to the states a week from today so...that is it...happy?
They both felt speechless for a while, they didn't know about that..."We thought... "Thought he was going to stay here and continue his love story? Hell no, he's not doing that, he invited me over for dinner last night and his mum told me about them traveling".
Jade sighed and stood up to hug her. " It must really hurt, we're so sorry". "I'm fine, theirs is nothing to be sorry about, we ago just focus on our graduation which is three days to go".
" We don't want you to be sad". Gina made a sad face at her. "God, I won't be sad, I must wait for that day". She smiled at them and focus her mind on something else.
Sam tapped his finger continuously as he read the letter that was sent to him, everything was ready. The perfect plan that he was waiting for to get back to Rebecca, she dares to disagree with him.
He was going to make her pay a thousand times for her sins, he dropped the letter back on his desk and smiled.
"It already, Tom" Sam grinned at him as he poured himself a cup of coffee. "Everything is just how I wanted it, perfect, easy going...no harm detected...."
He laughed and stood and walked to the window, lighting his cigarette "Just perfect Sam, and when then...boom! He pounced a first in the air.
"They would not know what strike him or how it did...just a set of confused fools" now he was laughing because he was going to watch every one of them in tears.
Nobody was going to trace the incident to him, he was going to be an innocent hard-working man in all this, he couldn't stop laughing because he was enjoying this, it plays so perfectly in his mind that he can't wait to see it happening.
"What do you think Tom? He finally turned to his assistant with a cruel smile on his face. " I think everything sounds perfect, nothing would go wrong for sure".
Tara felt her body being wiped again but she did not bother opening her eyes instead she continued where she stopped the last time "It's like a countdown Beatrice, counting the few days my daughter has to leave and as much as I want to save her...
I'm helpless because I'm here, I won't be able to save my daughter, I won't be able to hold her in my arm before that cruel man kills my daughter and I know you'll be very happy about that".
The servant didn't bother to respond but Tara felt her pausing each minute, she hopes her plans work that's the only way to be able to get out here alive.
She didn't bother eating either, despite being hungry, she have to starve herself if she was determined for her plan to work.
Sam arrived by midnight, she only felt the cold on her exposed skin and the wet lips kissing and sucking every part of her body. She felt disgusted but did not move, when had she grown to despise this man she called husband?
" You left your food untouched? He whispered in her eyes and the next minute she felt a sharp pain in her scalp. And couldn't help but scream out in pain, she knows this was going to happen.
"Why, Tara, you want to starve to death, huh? He tightened his grip and she let out another painful scream. " I promise you to get bs Sunny for you and you want to die without letting me fulfill my promise, what a cruel wife"
The pain came again and she felt her hit pulling off from her scalp. "You wanted your daughter, dear wifey what happened now, huh? Do you have a change of heart?
"You're hurting me! " That's the plan, to get you back to your senses because it seems you're losing it! "Stop it Sam! You're hurting! "I want to hurt you, dear wife, so you won't think twice about leaving your food untouched, you'll have to eat to live, I can't be doing all these for nothing".
He let her go and walked over to the cold food on the table, now you'll get to eat it all, the egg and the toast have already turned cold.
She wouldn't be able to eat that food but the look on Sam's face told her the total opposite of what she was thinking.
" Open your mouth" he brought the plate close to her face and she gave no other option than to do what she was asked for the next few minutes, food was being forced into her mouth.
She choked at some point but he kept on pushing the food back, forcing her to swallow every bit of it.
Tara bit back the sob that was slowly building inside of her "How do you like being full" he patterns her face and went over to drop the plate when he was done stuffing her with all the food.
"And now, I have something to share with you" he sat down beside her and slide out a letter from his coat.
"Are you not going to ask me what it is? You have that tendency to always ask me questions Tara, you should go on and ask me, I don't want my wife to change just because of this little misunderstanding, go on...ask me what the letter says"
"What..." She shut her eyes to control herself from crying out loud, she felt like spitting on him, for punishing her for what he was doing to him but she have to ask she couldn't bear another pain since her scalp was now on fire and she could feel the liquid sliding down from her head to her face.
"What's in it? "Such a good wife" he patted her face and moved to kiss her, now the liquid was dropping to her face, it wasn't just any liquid, it was her blood. She was terrified, this have to stop.
"It is a letter that says that my plan is all ready to take place...
