Chapter 11 - Lies She Was Told

Lies She Was Told


Racheal's POV


I went to the kitchen, I know how David like his bread prepared

"I wouldn't even be doing this on a normal day" she said to herself

She loves him even if she wished he was dead most of the time

Racheal ran to the door when she heard some creaks coming from the door, she went closer… slowly "What is going on there?" she asked expecting e response from whoever was out there

"Open the door" David shouted "Why did you close it?"

Racheal quickly reached for her keys to open the door "David…" she paused when she went closer for a kiss "Are you drunk?"

"Would you let me in?"

"Where did you go to get drunk from David?" Racheal touched her face "You are not even trying to solve the problem on ground" she couldn't hold her tears "I… I" she ran to the bathroom, she couldn't face him

"Hold on Lady, where are you going?" David opened his eyes wide like he was blind, walking round the room like it was on fire

"Why don't you stand up to your problems like a man, I've taken enough of this" she cried "And the least you could do was to go out drinking your life out?" She shouted


"Then put your child up for adoption, and you would be free as a bird" David said

"What did you just say?" She went closer

"Look, I know you have the same experience with your mum but you can't let a child suffer too, we are both not ready for the child"

"I would never do such evil" Racheal made sure she came really close "I would never be like my mum"

"I'm not saying that you should be like your mum, I am saying that you should be a better mum"



"You should never call yourself a father" Racheal screamed at the top of her voice, she went to the bed where her child layed and took her to leave "I regret everything, I totally regret the day I met you, it was a total mistake and" She adjusted the neck of her baby "I regretted standing up for you against Tom, he is a good person and he treats people better than you do" Racheal said these words as she left


"And it keep getting worse" David said to himself in frustration

Racheal had vowed to trace her parents, to face them in the eyes ask them why they let her go, she never got to even know her father

"She was young when she got pregnant for you with her boyfriend that ran away when he learnt that she was pregnant for you" Racheal got really tired of hearing this from her adopted parents

"Haven't she seen single mums? She shouldn't have left, she could be dead by now… who knows" her constant running thought


George's POV


George wakes up every morning regretting the grave mistake he had done in the past, leaving his daughter, watching them kill his first wife all to the satisfaction of the second wife

"I am such a damn fool!!" He says to himself all the time

Sunshine slanted through the shuttered window, gauzy and Radiant, proclaiming the arrival of a new Day.


Mary awoke slowly, a decided lassitude on her limbs. She laid within the sheltering protection of her husband, her entire length moulded against George's side. Her head was pillowed on the sleek skin of his shoulder. Her hand looked small and dainty nestled there amid the bristly curls on his chest ; it rested just above his heart, which beat steady and strong beneath her fingertips.


Mary stared at him, his smile was gone, his expression unreadable. She stared at him as if she would pluck his very thoughts from his mind.

"What's wrong?" She could see the despair in his eyes

"We are the worst parents that had ever lived" George said as he turned his shoulder making her move away from him

"George!!" She called out

He remained silent for a while

"It's behind us, we shouldn't be bringing this us and there is nothing we can do about it" She added

After another more silence, she stood up from the bed adjusting her nightgown and was about to leave the room

"We can" he finally broke the silence

"What can we do exactly?" She squeezed her brows as she turned towards him, she just did it want him to bring up those risky plan that he always comes up with

"Go to face them" he said

"Are you drunk or sleep-talking?"

"What do you mean by that question?" he asked sitting on his bed for face her properly

"I mean how can a man fake his murder, hide his second wife from his first kids and run away, then for some goddamm reasons he decides to show up and face them again, how on earth do you hear yourself speak such?"


"How can a woman put her child up for adoption foor another woman other than her to take care of her child?" he added some spice to it


"I gave her up because you were a broke ass nigga and I would rather watch my child grow well with another woman than suffer in my hands, you said clearly that you are not the next to take over the company your dad has, isn't it?" She slammed him


"Yes" He lied


"What else could I have done huh?, tell me and you now want to destroy their peace and good life by showing up, OK… what do you say when you face them?"


"I will think about that"

"So unreasonable!!" she said beneath her breath, nodding her head as she walks completely out of the room


George knew that sooner or later, Karma would catch up with him, he know his daughter like his mind at least for the period of time he spent with her, she is a focused and determined lady just like her mother, she knows exactly what she wants and go for it

George fear she might find him later


Lusi's POV


I've turned the world upside down, shaking every edge of it but still… I couldn't find her

Lusi went to her car after checking Helsi's favourite bar and still wasn't there
"Helsi, where the hell are you?" She asked herself looking out of the window

(Phone Rings)

Finally!!!

"Lusi?"

Lusi paused for second, wanted to be sure that it was Helsi speaking

"Where the hell have you been? You almost gave me a heart attack" Lusi almost screamed at the top of her voice

"I just want to find my sister, that's all I want right now and I would do anything to get to her"


"Hold on Helsi, where are you?"

"I am going after the person responsible for that" Helsi sounded so angry

"Give me your location"

"I am heading off to Racheal's home"

"Which Racheal?" Lusi asked hoping it was not her husband's fiancee

"She did this and I know it"

"Hold on Helsi, do you have any prove and even if you have, you shouldn't take decisions to yourself, tell the police so they can do their job and everyone goes clean but if you get involved now, it'll just make matters worse" Lusi tried to convince to change her plans


"She threatened me a few days ago, she did, she said I should get out of Tom's life and never intrude in their lives if not she would come after me, so what do you take from that statement?" Helsi in tears asked

"Calm down, just tell me exactly where you are and I would be there in few seconds, I just want you to remain where you are"

"I am already two streets before Racheal's home" Helsi was so furious, she was willing to kill her that instant, she did not mind spending the rest of her life in jail as far as she gets her sister back to her

"OK, I need you to promise me that you would stay there and not to move an inch"

"Tom called" Helsi changed the subject

"Why did he call?"

"I don't know, I declined his call" Helsi responded

"OK, now make your promise" Lusi reminded her

"I will"

"Thank you" Lusi replied


Tom called again after trying to her Helsi several times but couldn't

"Why are you calling me Tom?" Lusi asked with grave anger

"I just need to know if Helsi is OK, I can't seem to get hold of her"

"Why do you care?"

"She is still my wife for now, so I have to know"

"Then go find her, I am busy, I can't make a call while driving" Lusi said and was about to hang up the call

"Please, if she is with you, I would like to speak to her" Tom pleaded

"No" Lusi said as she hung up

"So he can now move around, I wish it was his leg that got broken not his arm" Lusi murmured to herself
