I wept bitterly hoping they come back but I never knew I was deceiving myself and that was where my education ended
I started living with my aunt whose duty is just to mock and frustrate me
She blames me for the death of my family and even calls me bad luck
Any of my mates I come across ensure they mock me
The only friend I have traveled out of the country to pursue her career while I’m here wailing day and night, hoping for a miracle to happen
I cried every night wishing they come back
She starves me, hit me and at times she even use me for her dirty job
I lost my pride to an old man and all thanks to my slutty aunt
The night I tried running away was the night I got hit by his car
I wished he had acted like a jerk and let me die maybe I’ll find peace
I was about wiping the tears on my face when the door opened
He came in looking gorgeous and expensive
He sat down giving me a confused look
“You are crying??”. He asked
I couldn’t bring myself to answer his question
“No I’m not”. I replied forcing a smile
“The doctor said you’ll be discharged tomorrow but you’ll keep coming for check up. The wheel chair you’ll use for the main time is waiting patiently for you”. He said
“Why did you save me?”. I asked not thinking straight
“I don’t want to stain my hands with blood and I also don’t want to be tagged as a murderer”. He replied and I noticed his confused look
“Why did you ask?”. He asked
“Nothing, just wondering”. I replied not knowing what to say
“Will you eat if I get you something?”. He asked softly and I nodded
The urge to hug him and cry on him shoulder is too much
It made me remember my brother
He is the caring, cheerful and nice anyone would ask for
He treats me like a kid even when I’m not
He stood up and walked to the door
“I’ll be back”. He said before walking out
The tears I’ve been holding poured freely and I couldn’t stop it from falling
I tried moving my legs but all I felt was pain
I relaxed myself with the hope the pain will go
He came in with a bag and sat down
He gave me the bag and urged me to eat
I opened the bag slowly and brought out the flask
“Did you go back home?”. I asked softly
“Nope. I came with it hoping you accept it”. He replied smiling and I found his smile cute
“Thank you”. He mouthed and I looked up
“For what?”. I asked trying to get a hint
“You gave me the chance to take responsibility for hurting you”. He replied still smiling
“It’s nothing and beside I was at fault for running and not checking because crossing the road”. I replied and opened the flask
Tears found it way out of my eyes as I stared at the food
“What’s the problem? Don’t you like it? I can change it if you don’t like it”. He said sounding worried and as well looking worried
“It’s my favourite. How did you know?”. I asked still staring at the food
“It’s also mine and I just decided to cook it for you since it the only thing I can cook”. He replied checking his silver wristwatch
“Thank you”. I said before digging in
How much I’ve missed this food
“It’s nothing”. He replied and he phone rang
He picked it and I could hear his conversation since the room is silent
“I’ll be on my way”. He replied and hanged up
I suddenly felt sad he is leaving again
“I have to be on my way, something came up but I promise I’ll come back. Tell me what you want me to get for you”. He said rushing his words
“Noodles”. I replied and he leaned closer, placing his lips on my forehead
He smiled and walked out leaving me with the room and food
I touched the part he kissed and I couldn’t help but blush
I resumed eating my favourite Caprese salad with pesto sauce

*****SURCURT MANSION*****
Trace ?
The door opened, Natalie and Trenchy rushed in
“I heard you are getting married today”. Trenchy said
“Ignore the wedding because I won’t do that $h|t”. I snapped and they both heaved a sigh of relief
“Goldin is missing”. I released the bombshell and the both screamed
“What!!!!!!!!!!!!!”. They screamed
“How did it happen? What led to it? Did you guys quarrel or what?”. Trenchy asked
“I’ve not even set my eyes on her this morning”. I replied truthfully and Alex also walked in
“What’s up man?. What’s the problem?”. Alex asked and I scoffed
“Goldin is missing”. Natalie said
“Wait, your driver is missing, I mean your girlfriend is missing. Just yesterday you both became a thing”. Alex said scattering his hair
“My father is behind it because he told me to say goodbye to her if I don’t marry Wendy”. I replied and Natalie groaned
“Is he home?”. Natalie asked walking to the staircase

*****WEDDING HALL*****
Authoress ?
The hall was filled with lots of people who want to witness the marriage
The hall was designed crazily with white and a little touch of gold
The chairs were neatly arranged as people filled the hall waiting for the priest and of course the couples getting married
The priest walked in and they began expecting the couples
Wendy’s mum walked in looking hot and expensive in the long red trumpet gown
They say down expecting the husband to come in first
After waiting close to an hour Wendy walked in wearing a long flowing body fitting gown. The white gown has touch of silver. The gown hugged her body exposing her little curve
She smiled brightly as she walked down the aisle with her dad
She sat down wondering why Trace hasn’t arrived
They waited for another one hour hoping the groom will come but seeing he isn’t coming, they started trooping out of the hall in large group
Mr Shawn was fuming greatly as he tried Mr Surcut’s line but it wasn’tgoing through
He and Wendy stood up furiously as they walked out of the hall
They got into the car and the driver drove off to The Surcurt Mansion immediately Wendy told him where they are heading

*****SURCURT MANSION*****
Trace ?
I placed to and fro the living room hoping to get any idea of where she is but my brain isn’t functioning right now
I was surprised my so called father hasn’t come downstairs
Natalie placed her hand on my shoulder
“Your dad won’t be going to the wedding”. She said and I gave her a “are you okay look”
“I switched off his phone and locked him inside his room. I won’t open up till he tells us where Goldin is”. She said and I smiled feeling relieved
The door opens revealing Wendy and her dad
He walked in and rushed to me grabbing my shoulder roughly
“You fool. How dare you? Where is your wretched and incompetent father?”. He yelled still grabbing my shoulder and Natalie did the unthinkable
She held him and kicked him in his groin mad he held it groaning in pain
Wendy rushed to her aiming her face but she twisted her hand and gave her double slap
She fell some on her butt looking like a zombie and I nearly laughed
“The next time this happens, you’ll need to cool off your feet in hell”. She yelled sitting on the couch
Wendy stood up and walked out
Wendy ?
I walked out and dialed a number. The caller picked at the second ring
“Fire”. I said coldly and hanged up
“Let’s see who the boss is”. I muttered walking out of the mansion
