Rise of a village Girl

I couldn't believe my ears when my dad said I was going to the village to continue my education, it was unlike my dad.

"Chief!!!! For God sake, why will Jake go to the village to continue his education" my mum exclaimed.

"dad why will I go to the village, check it out I have no class in the village" I said firmly.

"you all know that I am a titled man, Omeluora one of Itolu Kingdom and I really love my tradition and culture. With the kind of lifestyle Jake is living he doesn't know anything about tradition and culture and I will like him to belong, understand and know his tradition who knows he may end up being a titled man like his father" chief Omeluora said as he laughed in an elderly manner.

"dad what you are saying is meaningless, I don't f-–g wanna belong to any tradition" Jake fired.

"you must be stupid" chief said angrily.

"chief how do you expect him to cope with things there? You know he isn't used to local and unpleasant environments" my mum said trying to convince Chief.

"woman you don't have anything to worry about, he is staying with my mother, I will get him a driver and all that he needs, with the best school"

"well if you say so, I just hope he copes"

"so I will now be left alone" my younger sister cut in.

"not at all my angel, here is lively beside I promise to take you to see him once in two weeks" my dad said.

"OK am OK with that" Cindy my younger sister replied as she continued with her phone.

I looked at every one in the living room as they all succumbed to my dad's decision, I hissed and headed for my room.

As soon as I got to my room, I connected my head phone to my iPhone 6 and started playing my favorite song by LHF benzo to cool off my anger....

The next day was a Thursday, I woke up from my soft bed, muttered some prayers that I never forget to do every morning even though am an arrogant person, and headed to the restroom.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth before relaxing on my bed to play music (am a music lover).

I was still listening to my cool music when a knock landed on my door...

"come in" I said removing my head set

"food is ready" Carole our cook informed

"I will be there shortly" I muttered.

I was about living the bed when a call came into my phone oh it was Hannah my one and only girlfriend. Her family and mine are really close

"good morning sunshine"

"good morning Jake, how was your night" an angelic voice asked

"went well and yours?"

"splendid"

"that's good"

"Jake are you coming to school tomorrow, we were asked to come copy our scheme"

I sighed before answering her

"I don't think am resuming with you guys"

"Jake are you leaving the school for real"

"yea, my dad wants me to school in the village"

*what village??? Jake stop kidding, this isn't April 1st" Hannah said laughing loud

"am serious, you can come over today so we would discuss things"

"sure I will by noon"

"bye angel"

"bye love"

The line went off. I left my room straight to the dining

"where the hell is Jake" I over heard my dad..

"am here" I said as I sat on my chair, they were almost done with theirs

"where have you been" my mum asked

"I was busy upstairs sorting something"

"eat your food" my mum said

My dad was fully dressed in his native attire ,an ogbu agu top, a black trouser with a red cap and his breeds, he was ready for work (that's his normal way of dressing to work or he wears a senator attire)

"Jake I want to inform you that you are living for Enugu tomorrow morning, so you could know your new school and collect your necessary materials to resume school on Monday"

"OK" I said in a low tone "dad by the way what's the name of this new school"

"when you get there, you will know" he took his briefcase and left the dining

I looked at him but was just silent as many things were running in my mind. Minutes later I was the only one left in the dining as I quickly rushed my tea, bread and sandwich.

FEW HOURS LATER===??

"ding dong" the door bell alarmed

I went to check who it was and it was no other person than Hannah

"Hannah!!"

"Jake"

"you look gorgeous"

"thanks dear"

She was putting on a dark blue gown at her knee level with a silver shoe, silver Michael kors Bag and a silver head band and the enchanting perfume she was putting on.

"how is Cindy"

"oh she is not at home, she went out with mum"

"so you are home alone"

"that's it"

"welcome aunty Hannah, what would you like to take??" labake our maid asked

"oh nothing, am OK"

"are you sure" I asked

"yea"

," OK let's go to my room"

____________________

"so you are no longer coming to Lambert International School"

"No as a matter of fact things are beyond me, am even living for Enugu tomorrow morning and today will be the last day I will see you till further notice"

"why is your dad doing this??"

"I don't know"

The room was silent for some minutes as I saw tears rolling down her cheek, I held her wiped off her tears and kissed her on her forehead

"I will really miss you" she said

"same here, I will over miss you"

"I want to ask you for a favour" she said suddenly

"what Favour?"

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
