BLEEDING HEART ๐
Chapter three
I decided not to go for my menial work as aunty Susan had promised to pay double of my salary if I can stay back to help her husband at home all day while she’s away. I really wish I have any means of getting that money quickly I would rather decline her request and find my way elsewhere. but, what do I do? I have no one to run to and I ended up sacrificing to stay with him even when I know it can never be easy. infact I have stayed more than the months I thought of staying in her house just because of her husband and the money I have been receiving. Aunty Susan paid me 200,000 last month making the money I have been gathering to be 600,000 Naira.
“my dear, I have sent 300 thousand to your account now you….”
“ha! aunty Susan I thought you said you will only double”. I said kneeling down while thanking her with sincerely.
“no… don’t worry Chioma, you’re also a good girl and you have always been faithful to me. so, definitely you Worth more than this. I really wished I have the money you requested from me about your grandmother, but as you also know vividly that I’m really rich right now (not having much money) and I would have really loved to help “. She said.
“ehn, I truly understand you ma and I really appreciate all your effort and care towards me. may God blessings never depart from you.
Amen dear”. She answered going out and suddenly turns back.
“please if my husband wakes up, there’s some file I kept behind him just tell him to go through it that it’s from his office.
“okay ma”. I answered as she closed the door.
“hmm’ so, right now is for me to start again with this man. Even for the fact that he still doesn’t want to let me be since he returned from the hospital. immediately his wife should go out that is when he would start his craziness, even for the fact that he can’t walk.
well, I’m use to it. I just have to endure it all for the sake of my grandma. I’m so happy that the money is about to complete! all I need now is 100 Thousand.
I started sweeping and cleaning the sitting room and hoping to go to the kitchen next to wash the dishes. I didn’t know how manner aunty Susan husband walked up behind me and tickled me.
“Jesus!”. I screamed jumping in fear.
“How on Earth did he walk, like his leg is not heal yet with what will have been doing and treating it all these days.
“you’re surprised right? hahahaha yes! this is what I have been longing to do once I can start walking.
“where’s your crutches?”. I asked looking at him like a fool.
He was just laughing and tried touching me as I flipped his hands away.
“oh! do you want to injure me again? no, just tell me!”. He said gripping my hands angrily.
A lot of things suddenly keeps flowing in my brain as I wondered the sudden miracle that just happened. He has never thought of walking around for the past 2 months he has been at home. Could it be that he has been heal and was just pretending all this while to his wife? for him not to have use the crutches.
“I will make sure I have you under me by all means unless I will implicate you to my wife.
“you can’t do anything Mr Kenneth, what have I done to you? I’m just an orphan who is here to just work.
“come on shut up! are you the only orphan in this world? I’m also an orphan I have no parents. so, you are not the first.
I just wished I knew he would do this I would have just put my phone on recording in other to show his wife.
I started struggling with him telling him to leave me alone as he pushed me on the long sofa . I bite his hand as he screamed slapping my face.
“you’re a fool! infact I will kill you right now if you don’t lay down perfectly well.
I thought he was joking until I saw him bringing out a knife from his short Jean pocket. I kept mute immediately crying and letting him have his way.
“better! yeah!
I closed my eyes as tears flows out as he ride on me roughly in and out.
“don’t worry, I promise to give you 500 thousand Naira after this and anytime you let me have my way again”. He said whispering in my ear squeezing my b***s.
“oh my father in heaven!”. I said crying.
“I love this! you’re really sweet lady”. He said pulling out and getting off from me.
“send your details to me right away.
He told me to go clean up and freshen up in other not to be smelling. At that moment I really wish I’m in care of the knife so that I can use it to stab the hell out of him. I stood up in annoyance as I cried and entered my room and started parking my luggage in other to leave the house immediately.
“where do you think you are going?”. He asked while standing at the door entrance.
I ignored him, continuing what I was doing.
“so, you think you can leave this house like that and then think you can put me to shame right? your plan is to leave so that my wife could figure my pretence right?
I still didn’t reply as I kept crying profusely parking my things.
“are you not the one I’m talking to?”. He shouted.
“if you dare try to leave this house just believe you’re a dead person”. He said as he went back to his room.
I sank back on my bed as I imagine what I could do to just get him off my sight.
“if I should try killing him I would surely be arrested and that would just be the end of my grandma surgery money. chai! is as if my parents are really sleeping in heaven because I wonder why they kept sleeping why I wallow in fear here. it will be better if I let his wife come back before I leave.
I locked my room from within and decided to stay indoor before his wife arrival. I went to the bathroom to bath and then sat back on the bed as I heard a vibrating message on my phone. I took it and checked only for me to see a message from the guy I saw at the hospital some times ago.
Stranger
*hi dear Chioma, I hope you are doing great?
my line got lost some months after we last saw. so, I just retrieve my line and then saw your number where I once wrote it down. if you see this message please reply.

I looked at it again and reread it as I jumped up in excitement.
“so, his name is even Fred ohhhhh what a nice name!!!
I dial his number immediately as he picked.
“hello ooo”. I said smiling.
“Hi dear, I’m glad you could call back.” He said.
“oh!!! never mind”. I answered
“alright, I’m just glad you could call back. anyways can we meet up tomorrow.
.
“really!.” I asked happily.
“of course!”. He answered
“no problem we will see tomorrow okay, just send the address of your house.
He said he will send it to me very soon as I ended the call happily thanking God that at last I can have a confided person.
“what if this Fred is a kidnapper and I’m going to meet a him.” I said thinking within myself.
TBC.
