THE BENSON MANSION*
Bruce entered the house filled with rage and his eyes landed on Ashley who sat on the couch
Getting closer to him he grabbed her clothes and throw her across the couch and she landed on her butt
“Ouch, Bruce,” she shouted in pain
He went closer and grabbed her neck then slapped her hard across the face, he slapped her again on her left cheek before throwing her on the floor again
“Argh!!” She cried out
He started walking towards her and she started shifting back, the person she was seeing now was different from the little brother she knows
What the hell is wrong with him?
He get to her hand grabbed her clothes then tire them right before her eyes, Mrs. Benson who heard the noise and rushed downstairs saw the scan and her jaw dropped
“Bruce!” She yelled at him but he didn’t turn to even spare her a glance
He grabbed Ashley’s neck and start choking her as she struggles to breathe, she kick and hit him but none seem to affect him
“Look what you made me do, are you happy now?” He yelled and slapped her hard in her face again
His mother was too scared to even get close, she has never seen this side of him before, what could make him like this?
“Look what you turn me into, Ashley am your brother… Am your flesh and blood, why? Just why?” He yelled and made to grab her again but another hand stopped him
Ashley was bleeding from her nose and she looked terrified, she has a deep cut on her lips and cheeks
“Sis, she made me do it, I was drunk I didn’t know what I was doing,” He said with tears
“I thought…… It thought…” He stopped when he saw Margaret by the door but she went out immediately
“Margaret,” he called and run after her, she was about to enter her car when he get to her and hold her hand
“Margaret, please am sorry, I swear I didn’t know what I was doing, she made me do it, I can never do anything that will hurt you,” he said but she kept quiet
“Margaret please say something, am sorry I was drunk and I didn’t…
“Am not mad at you, you can do anything you want with your life we are not dating anyway, it was just kinda weird, but I understand now” she said but he didn’t understand a Thing
“Margaret, I love….” She didn’t let him finish the part
“Bruce, you didn’t have to beat your sister, it’s against the law, you hit your sister today, and tomorrow you will hit your woman… am afraid we can’t date, I like you as a brother, not as a man,” She said and free his hold on her hand then went into the car and zoom off
Bruce sat on the floor as tears stream down, he hold his head that won’t stop spinning
Inside the house
Adel went to Ashley who was still trying to recover from the beating Bruce gave him, before Ashley could run away from her a very thunderous slap landed on her cheeks and everything went black
“Argh,” Ashley screamed in agonizing
“I can’t see, mom!!!” She yelled loudly
Adel grabbed her head and hit it on the floor, Ruth rushed to them immediately and take Ashley away from her
“How dare you touch my baby you daughter of a slut?” Ruth asked and slapped her immediately
She didn’t even react to the slap, she glared at Ruth and her daughter before storming out
Getting outside she met Bruce who was laying unconscious on the floor
“Bruce,” she called and rushed to him and check
She called Margaret immediately and it wasn’t long before she arrived
*******
HOSPITAL*
“Please tell me that he will be fine,” Adel asked panicking
“We can’t tell until he wakes up, only then can we run tests on him,” the doctor replied and she nodded
“Can we see him?” Margaret asked but the doctor shook his head
“No visitors until tomorrow,” the doctor replied and she nodded
*******
JORDAN AND ADEL’S HOUSE*
“Pretty lady,” Sasha called immediately she went in and she furrow her brow, and looked around
Am I in the wrong house?” She wondered and looked around
“You’re back,” she heard Jordan’s voice and turned to him
Sasha was still hugging her tightly and she gave Jordan that what the h*ll is this look
“Oh, I went to pick you up and I saw her crying there, she said she was looking for a pretty lady and the securities didn’t let her in so I asked her what this pretty lady looks like and she pointed at the face of A.B.C, so I took her in but you wasn’t around and we waited but you didn’t come back, I asked her to go but she said she wanted to see the pretty lady so I have to bring her here,” Jordan said more like a gentleman
Adel looked at Sasha who was now eating and back to Jordan, she grabbed his hand and went inside
“Are you high? How can you bring someone’s child in here? Did you want them to tag you a kidnapper?” She asked staring at him
“So you cared about me after all,” he said and she rolled her eyes and start walking away
He quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back swiftly making her hand land in his chest, she made to move back but he hold her waist
“Why are you avoiding me?” He asked but she was silent
“Am I that bad? You said yesterday that I put it in the wrong hole when I didn’t even do anything,” he said and she looked at him
“Of course you did, you put it in the wrong hole,” she replied and frown
“It was only the tip, not the full d***…
“Tip went wrong,” she cut in
why don’t you want me to touch you? Just tell me why and I will not bother you again,” he said and she looked away
“Adel,” he called and she didn’t say anything, slowly turn her head turn to face him, he was still holding her waist
He leaned closer to kiss her and just when their lips were about to touch someone called from behind
“Pretty lady,” Sasha called and Jordan let go of her
She looked at Sasha not able to say a single word until the girl speak up
“I think my brother is here, I saw him,” she said pointing at the TV Jeremy was truly outside looking around
“Let me take her to him,” Jordan said but she hold Sasha’s hand
“I will go instead,” she replied and they Went out
*
“Jem,” Sasha called happily and jumped on him
“I was so worried about you, all thanks to Margaret,” he said and slowly put her down then turn to Adel
“Thank you, pretty lady,” he said and she hugged him instead
Is she trying to put me in trouble or what? What if her husband is at home? Lord of mercy,” Jeremy thought silently
Jordan, on the other hand, was coming for her when he saw the scan, his blood boiling with rage and he clenched his fist tightly and start going toward them
“Oh, am sorry,” Adel said and disengage from the hug
“I will just… I should go back inside,” she said and turn to leave but he hold her hand making her stop
He took a few steps closer and she could hear her heart beating so loud, he lifted her chin and made to kiss her but Jordan’s voice stop him
“You come into my house and hugged my wife and now you want to kiss her too?” Jordan sneered and before Jeremy could say word he…..
