WORLD APART - CHAPTER 31&32
A WEEK LATER
Richard was discharged from the hospital though he was on an auto mobile wheel chair. Sasha paid his bills before taking him home,he couldn’t decline cause he had no choice. She drove him down home,for minutes there was silence in the car,he just kept staring outside the window with an emotionless face.
Sasha glanced at him and smiled,he was finally hers and that’s the truth.
“Richard” She called slowly.
“What?” He answered in a faint voice still staring through the window.
“Hope you are trying to gather yourself because what has happened has happened there’s no need crying over a spilt milk” She emphasized.
“Thank you” He said.
“For what?” Her eyes widen.
“For looking after me,you came each day to the hospital to check on me,you brought me food and you cleared my bills, you’ve done enough” He enunciated.
“It’s okay Richy. I did those things because I wouldn’t want you to roam helplessness looking for assistance,you know I’m always a good girl” She winked and a faint smile beamed on his face.
The light discussion continued till she approached the gate,she blew her horn,the security came out to identify her. After the assassin’s attack the securities had doubled up their efforts. They made sure anyone who steps into the estate is being identified before entry.
“Open the gate” Sasha said as her glass whined down.
“Who are you and who do you want to see?” The security asked.
Sasha pointed over to Richard sitting next to her. The security squealed.
“Mr Richard, you’re alive? Thank God,open the gate!!” He motioned the other securities and the gate was opened apart and Sasha drove in.
The securities gathered and helped Richard out placing him on the wheel chair. They felt pity for him when they knew he was crippled.
“Thank you very much guys” Sasha said bringing out some dollar notes and handing it over to their boss to share among themselves.
“Thank you ma” Their voice echoed as she pushed his wheel chair inside.
When they got inside, Richard remembered his happy family,how death snatched them away from him saddened him.
“So Richy you have to freshen up before you eat okay” Sasha said driving him to the bathroom.
“I’ll handle it myself” He said and she stopped.
“Really?”
“Yes just leave me alone” He said coldly.
“Fine,you can go ahead while I prepare your food” She said and watched him enter the bathroom before shutting the door.
She squealed silently dancing to the kitchen.
“You’re finally mine” She kept singing.
Her phone sang and she picked it up.
“Hello” She said.
The phone was on low speaker so only the echoes of the caller’s voice is heard. The caller told her something and her eyes widened in shock.
“What! You must be joking. Listen I settled you properly so don’t come back giving me excuses, eliminate her then and they shouldn’t be any trace!!” She said and ended the call, breathing heavily.
CROWN COLLEGE
RESTROOM
Silver washed her hands and dried her hands before stepping out of the bathroom. She heard the coughs of someone,she tried avoiding it but she couldn’t as the tension from the cough increased. The sound was coming from the male toilet, she approached the male toilet and opened. Her eyes widened when she saw Davvy puking out thick blood.
She quickly rushed to him but he snubbed her. His veins were already out and she got scared. He stopped coughing before cleaning up himself.
“Are you okay?” She asked with concern.
“It’s not your business” He replied staring into her eyes.
He started walking out.
“Here,it might help you I guess you forgot yours at home” She said giving him some pills.
His eyes widened with shock.
“How did…”
“Nevermind just accept this” she said with a smile.
He stretched his hands and took it,he brought out his water from his backpack and drank the pills.
“Thank you” He smiled and silver returned the smile before walking out. She bumped into Brave who was just coming in. When he saw Silver coming out of the same toilet with Davvy,his eyes widened.
GENERAL HOSPITAL
Ixora was lying on her bed with drips connected to her vein. There was an oxygen attached to her nose,and a white bandage was wrapped around her face revealing only her eyes,nose and mouth. It was three days after the successful surgery and the bandage was going to be taken off.
Her eyes were open and when she saw Ms Jackie,she felt relieved. She didn’t know who this woman was but she wondered why she cared so much for her. Worst of all she couldn’t recall her own name, how awful.
“Baby girl how are you doing” Ms Jackie asked.
“I’m fine but my face itches me” she complained.
“I’m so sorry about that, the doctor said he’s coming to the remove the bandage so that you can see your new face okay”
She nodded.
The doctor came in shortly and Ms Jackie felt relieved.
“Gm doctor” Ixora greeted.
“Morning dear, how are you feeling?”
“Not good at all. My face itches me so badly” She said with an uneasiness in her voice.
The doctor laughed.
“I’m going to remove your bandage right now”
“Oh thank God,at least I’ll be free” She gushed.
The doctor approached her and began unwrapping the bandage, stage by stage and Ms Jackie heart kept pouncing hard. She had paid huge for the surgery and wouldn’t want a disappointed face.
Soon the doctor removed the entire bandage revealing the new beauty of Ixora. Ms Jackie couldn’t help but gasp.
“Doctor!! She’s more than a beauty,oh my gosh”
“How do I look?” She asked anxiously.
The doctor gave her a mirror to see for herself. When she looked at the mirror it almost fell from her hands.
“Is this me?” She wondered touching her fair, flawless and smooth face. Her beauty was beyond imagination,she looked like a godness.
She smiled and her dimples appeared.
“I have dimples yeah!!” She squealed happily making the doctor and Ms Jackie to laugh.
“So what’s my new name?” She asked again.
“Well dear I’ve pondered over it and I’ve decided to give you a beautiful name that befits you. You are Nuella Robinson” Ms Jackie pronounced with a smile.
“I love my new name, I’m Nuella” She said childishly.
