WORLD APART - CHAPTER 21&22
“What,why would you do that?” A Knock came next.
Richard doubted she was saying the actual truth,he never invited her so there was no way she was at his place. He opened the door and there she was smiling alluringly.
“What are you doing here?” He asked her keeping a straight face.
“Can I at least come in” She requested sedately.
He adjusted a bit and allowed her come in before shutting the door. She walked briskly to a couch and sat down. His eyes followed her till she sat down.
“Why that creepy look uh? Did I do anything wrong by coming to pay a visit…”
Ixora heard voices and came to see who it was. She got glued to a spot when her eyes hit Sasha face. She folded her fist furiously, Sasha was the last person she ever wanted to set her eyes on.
“You… What are you doing in my father’s house?” She asked giving her a stern look.
“Ixora…”
“Don’t call my name” she waved turning to her dad giving him a questioning look. He returned his answers with an eye contact which made Sasha feel unsecured.
“Princess get her a glass of juice” Richard said and Ixora left.
Sasha engaged Richard in discussion which he wasn’t attentive to.
“The manager has really been asking about your welfare that’s why I came to see you” Sasha said and he nodded his head.
Ixora returned with the glass of juice and handed it over to Sasha in a disrespectful manner.
“Thank you dear”
Ixora fumed and left.
Richard turned on the TV to entertain Sasha.
MINUTES LATER
Sasha had emptied her glass,the uneasiness in her body wasn’t something funny. It looked like they was a bomb in her system about to explode. She started feeling some fidgeting pains,it sting her intestine and her tummy began to hurt. Her anus felt like they were going to explode out faeces.
“Richard please direct me to the restroom” She said with an itchy movement at her abdomen.
“Over there” Richard said and she quickly ran into the rest room.
Ixora who was watching from her hiding place was chucking,she had put vim in her juice which would cause an unstable visiting to the toilet.
“Stupid wretch” Ixora murmured from her hiding place.
MINUTES LATER
Sasha kept tripping in and out of the restroom with stinking smells of her faeces. She was sweating like one who ran a ten meter race,the sweats running down her head wiped her makeup out but she cared less cause the hot , uneasiness she was feeling was freaking her out.
She returned to the restroom the ninth time,in the restroom she made annoying groans that ached the head of Ixora. Richard just kept watching her in awe,he didn’t know whether to laugh or to sympathize with her.
“This mother f_cker should just leave this house with her rotten smells” Ixora muttered.
Sasha came out the ninth time giving Richard a fierce look.
“Sasha are you…”
“What did you put in my drink!!” She howled as she staggered to wear her shoes but she couldn’t cause there were too high to walk with in such situation.
“Nothing,I guess you might have taken something that had upset your system not the juice” Richard said.
“It’s a lie,I know you’re not happy seeing me here that’s why you planned with your daughter to poison me right?” She asked.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”
“I regretted stepping my foot into this d@mn house, I’ll be back for you” she said leaping towards the door before walking out.
Ixora bursted out laughing like a mad maniac, Richard glanced confusedly at her.
“What’s funny?”
“Noting,I guess she has learnt her lessons here” she shrugged her shoulder and sat on the couch with smiles plastered on her face, Richard just kept staring at her.
CROWN COLLEGE~ EVENING
Silver woke up with a feeling of being lumpish,her face were swollen due to overdose of sleep. Her body was heavy and weak to her. She walked sluggishly into the bathroom ,had a quick wash and ate some snacks. She was preparing for evening prep, Hazel had left before her cause she wanted to visit the library.
She locked the door automatically with her phone and left the estate. The walk way was bright cause there was a standby supply of electricity. She heard faint footsteps behind her, when ever she turned she would see no body. She felt a muscular hand around her neck,it covered her mouth and nose. She felt tipsy,she bite the hand but the hand took her up in a bridal style,she couldn’t see the face cause it was masked.
LIBRARY
Hazel was done reading but noticed silver wasn’t in the library yet. She packed her books and left the library. While walking back to the estate she came across the textbooks of silver which was scattered on the floor.
“What’s the meaning of this?” She thought as she bent down to pick the books.
Governor’s Mansion
Governor Hilbert and Lady Lexy were having a romantic night together on the parlour couch since they were alone at home. Davvy had gone for night prep so they’ve got the house alone.
Governor Hilbert fed his wife with ice cream and she reciprocated it. The smiles on their faces was so deep that one could notice they were madly in love.
“My glowing queen, you look superb beautiful tonight, hint me the secret” He teased her and she laughed.
While he fed her she massaged his toes,they were about joining their lips when a knock interrupted them. They paused and looked at each other.
“Who could that be?” Governor Hilbert asked frustratingly.
“I will check who it is” Lady Lexy approached the door and she could see Davvy. She opened it and he rushed inside.
“Davvy!!” She gasped when she saw his clothes stained with blood.
“What happened to you son?” His dad jumped out of the couch.
He ignored their questions and began leaping to his room. His bones were dislocated.
“Davvy your legs!!” His mom screamed.
