The storm in my life 22

The storm in my life


Chapter 22


Katherine’s POV


“Uhmm, what are you doing here?” I asked in a really calm and nice way. I really wanted to exclaim at that moment but I didn’t want to get angry and get things heated up, so I had to play nice.

“I was just waiting for you, I have something very important to say to you”, she said, getting up from my chair.

Now I was curious.  With that tone, I had a feeling that something was wrong.

“Okay, what is it?” I said, walking to my chair.

Caroline sat opposite me and crossed her hands on the table.

“I know I’ve not been on my best behaviour ever since I got here, but I just didn’t want to see you get hurt like I did”, she said, with a sad look plastered on her face.

“What is it?” I asked one more time, but this time, I was confused and concerned.

“Hmm, you once heard that Noah and I were together right?” she asked, looking at me with a weird look.

“Mmm not exactly”, I said, because I quite remember when Noah said they were close friends, he didn’t say anything about them being together.

“Okay, we had a thing. When I became his P.A, a lot of people told me about his lustful adventures with women and they warned me and all that, but I didn’t want to use people’s words to judge him, so I wanted to discover who he really was for myself and…”, she said, wiping a tear which I didn’t know was actually there.

“And?” I asked.

“We became really close and I actually liked him and I thought he liked me too because we spoke about our future together. I spoke to him about my faith and beliefs and he said he was ready to respect that, but one day, I worked so late into the night and he asked me to sleep over at his side because I was really tired and his house was quite closer and I listened to him. That night we watched a movie together and then he started kissing me and he was about to take off my clothing and I stopped him but he was being forceful and I applied more force and stopped him and then he got angry and walked away. Since that day, he stopped being nice to me. I tried talking to him on several occasions and he was just mean to me, and I saw him with other girls and heard rumours about him sleeping with them. I was really hurt and devastated. I wanted to quit, but my family really needed the money, so I just stayed and I prayed for him every day”, she said in tears.

I quickly got up and comforted her.

“That was such a mean thing to do. I actually thought that he was a nice person”, I said wiping away her tears.

“I thought that too till he did that to me. I’ve seen you with him a lot and I don’t want the same thing to happen to you”, she said.

“Thanks so much Caroline. I really appreciate it, but why did you post that prayer request the other time”, I asked her.

“I actually pray for him and I thought that we were meant to be together and I heard that he’s involved with some other girls, so I had to tell everyone to pray with me”, she said, looking away.

“Mmm, thanks so much and don’t worry God will bring someone your way. He’ll make you the happiest woman ever”, I said to her.

I don’t know why, but for an unknown reason, I was really hurt. I was actually beginning to trust him and I would deny the fact that I had caught feelings for him. Oh God, I was such a fool, how did I ever think that he cared for me. This might just be another trap of his that I fell into. He’s just like his father after all.

After a short while, Caroline left my office and then I let out everything I was holding in. I cried out loud. I couldn’t believe what was happening. Noah wasn’t who he portrayed himself to be. The job, house, car. All was just his way of getting me to bed? I asked myself. If it’s so, then he’s really desperate and stupid too. But I’m more stupid than he is. How could I not see this coming? And God what’s this? I’m getting confused now. Why are you letting things like this to happen to me?

I have to get out of this mess now, but my family really needs a financial breakthrough right now. If I quit now, what’s the possibility that I’m going to get a new job. God, I wish you could help me with this, but these days, I find it difficult turning to you in times of trouble because you just lead me into deeper ones. I don’t know what your plans are, but please just make me and my family happy for once.

After saying that, I just felt the need to speak to Noah before jumping into conclusions. I can’t just use someone’s words to judge him.

I wiped away my tears and quickly rushed out of my office. I really had to get and set things straight.

As I approached the office, I saw Caroline get up from her desk and she walked into his office.

I decided to stand outside and eaves drop on their conversation.

“So you’re just going to treat me like trash”, Caroline said to him.

“You know I’m not doing that. I can’t let trash work for me. I value you”, he said.

“So then why do you treat me the way you do, because I didn’t let you sleep with me like you do with other girls?” Caroline asked.

“I’ve apologised for that, why are you still bringing it up?” he asked.

On hearing that, I almost whimpered loudly, but I covered my mouth.

He didn’t deny it, he actually did it. Oh my God, I can’t believe this. I turned around and ran off. I heard the door open and heard Noah calling out my name, but I didn’t stop, I just kept running.

Once again, my world is falling apart.

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...." ...

*My Muse*♥️☺ *_Chapter 31_* *Oscar's POV* "Mabel why are you here at this time of the night?" I asked her in anger. When she lifted her head she was in tears. "Oscar it's difficult for me. I want you back and I'll do anything it takes to get you back😭😭", she said. "Stop it Mabel. You caused this in the first place". "I know and I'm really sorry. If I could go back in time, I would change what I did. But Oscar we've fought a lot of obstacles for three years, why do you want this to separate us?" "Stop it Mabel. There's no us. I've moved on now, you should move on too", I said. "How did you do it Oscar? I always thought that you'll always love me or you didn't even love me at all" "It doesn't matter if I did or not. Just nice on and stop terrorising my life?" "Me? Now I'm terrorising your life? Oscar after all I've done for you. Even when...

*My Muse*♥️☺ *_Chapter 30_* *Natasha's POV* "Mabel?" I said, surprised. "You look so familiar", she said trying to recall who I was. "Yeah, I remember. You were the doctor who attended to me in the hospital sometime ago". "Yeah", I said, forcing a smile. "Oh come in", she said, stepping aside for me to come in. "You can have a seat", she said to me and I got annoyed. I'm not the visitor or stranger here. I don't know what she's doing here, but I'm not going to get paranoid. I have to put her in her place. I walked to the dinning and placed the basket which contained the food I prepared for Oscar, down. "Uh what are you doing here?" I asked her and she looked at me surprised. "Uhm, I don't think it's your business". "Well, if my boyfriend's ex fianceè shows up at his house, then it's my business", I said and she looked at me confus...
