I call the shots 12


I call the shots


Chapter 12


Chantelle was sleeping in her matrimonial bed, when she noticed that David wasn't in bed.

"David?" She turned around and saw him leaning on the wall staring at her.

"Is everything alright?" She asked confused.

"Yeah baby, I'm just watching you sleep. That's all".

"You woke up to watch me sleep?".

"Not really. I had a bad dream and woke up to pray about it. I just finished praying, actually".

"Bad dream? What was it about?"

"Nothing really important. The devil just wanted a reminder of who I am".

Chantelle smiled at him. She was glad and happy that they were married. With him, she felt protected in every way possible.

"Okay, come and sleep then, I don't like being in bed alone"😌

He went to his bed and laid by his wife, cuddling with her.

"Goodnight baby", she said.

"Goodnight honey", he said pecking her behind her neck.

**********

Chantelle woke up before David in the morning.

She was dressing up quickly and kept on looking at the clock.

"Chantelle, where are you off to this morning, I thought you were still on a break?"

"I have a client to attend to. It was impromptu".

"Why? What's up?"

"A certain client of mine got arrested for drugs. And she said she's being framed, so I have to meet with her at the police station to have a word with her".

"Oh okay, please don't get too caught up in it, if you have doubts that she's innocent".

"Okay", she said grabbing her hand bag and her car keys.

"There's sandwich bread in the fridge, hot water in the flask and the beverages are in the cabinet. I'm sorry that I can't prepare breakfast, but I'll be back in time for lunch, bye sweedy", she said, kissing him and then she left.

*********

Chantelle was on her way home, when she met Reece in handcuffs with a cop by him, walking into the police station.

They were both surprised to see each other. They stopped and stared for a while.

"Move", the cop said to him.

"Chantelle, you got to help me get a lawyer", he said. with pleading eyes and he moved.

Chantelle stood there glued to the ground. She didn't know what to do. She and Reece didn't get off on good terms, but it was her fault.

She stood there thinking of what to do, then she turned around and walked back inside the station.

"Can I speak to Reece?" She said to the officer who took him in.

"And who are you?"

"His lawyer"😕

"Alright, this way ma'am", he said directing her to where he was being held.

She got to where he was and sat opposite him.

Reece had his head glued to the table.

"Reece?" She said, tapping him and he lifted his head up.

"Chantelle, how did you get in here?" He said in a tone that she hasn't heard before.

He sounded sad and helpless

"Hush. I'm a lawyer", she said smiling at him.

"Thank God, Chantelle you need to help me get out of here, my baby girl is out there with no one taking care of her".

"Your baby? Wait, slow down. What happened?"

"I got into a huge fight with my baby mama, she provoked me and I pushed her so hard and she fell on the floor and did get up, I called the ambulance for help. They told me that she was dead, I explained how it happened, but they called the cops on me"😐😣

"Hmm and what happened to your daughter?"

"I don't know, they took her away from me. I fought so had and tried to explain, but these cops are just deaf and stupid!!" He said kicking his leg hard on the table.

"Reece relax".

"You gotta help me, Chantelle".

"I'll get you a lawyer".


"But you said you're a lawyer".

"Yeah, but I don't think my husband would like me handling this case".

"You're married?"😳

"Yeah", she said, showing him her fingers.

"That's good, but please help me".

"I'll get you a very good lawyer, okay?"

"Alright, thanks a lot and I'm sorry for what I did in the past".

"Don't bother. It's in the past", she said smiling.

"Alright, stay safe and don't cause any trouble", she said to him and he nodded.

She walked out, got in her car and drove off.

But another person followed her.

Abena's passion story 10

Abena's passion story Chapter 10 Kwasi's POV We've been in the hospital for almost 30 minutes and those silly doctors haven't said a thing. I was getting frustrated. Ray was panting and walking up and down. He kept on screaming God's name, and saying things that I didn't bother to listen to.. I can't lose Abena. No!!! I can't leave without her. Then I remembered what she said before hanging up. "Make sure you come this evening before I serve my purpose". "No!! No!!!...let it not be!!! Argghh!!!!"😢😢 "What is it??" Ray asked me scared. "Abena..." "What???!!!, you're freaking me out!!!" "She said...." The sight of the doctor cut my words short as we ran to him panting. He had a gloomy look. "Do we need to beg you to talk" Ray said😕😕 "I'm sorry. She didn't make it... She...." ...

The storm in my life 2

The storm in my life Chapter 2 Katherine’s POV I was really surprised to see the sunrise when I woke up. Didn’t my alarm ring or maybe it did and I didn’t hear it. I looked around and…. “Arrghhhhhhhh!!!!” I screamed. A guy opened the door and ran in. “Where am I?” I asked him. It took me a while to recognise him, but where am I? “You’re in my house cupcake, do not be scared. It’s just a house”, he said grinning. “Why am I in your house?” I asked confused. “You passed out and I’m not that psychic to locate your house”. I rolled my eyes at him. “I was out for how long?” I asked confused. “For almost 24 hours. You really freaked me out, but you were breathing and sleep talking so, I knew you were alive” I felt embarrassed. “Uhm did we do anything?” I asked nervously biting my lower lip. “No”, he said. I let out a breathe that I didn’t know I was holding in. “I’m not that kind of a person and besides you’re a Church girl. I don’t do church gir...

The storm in my life 1

The storm in my life Chapter 1 NB: Some of the images that I’ll be using in this story are not mine. Katherine’s POV “Ughh!!” I said out loud when I heard the alarm ring for the third time. I stretched my arm and turned it off. Now waking up seems more like a torture to me. Who would have thought that life would treat me this way? I graduated with a first class and I’m working as a receptionist for my national service. I’m not criticizing the work, it’s cool and all, but it isn’t my standards, I have to smile to people and be extra nice, I didn’t study that!!! Hopefully today is my last day and I just hope that they keep me and promote me because I’ve put in my all and I got a first class. I got out of bed sluggishly and went to bath and dress up.  Today is my last day and I need to make a good impression and be on my best behavior, so I wore an ash classy fitting dress and paired it up with my black stilettos. I combed my hair dow...
