CRACKED LIFE : CHAPTER 11 – 20

Chapter 15
Justin woke up to see a girl beside him on the bed, everything looked new to his eyes. He watched as the door opened and a woman came in carrying a glass of water.
“Oh Justin, thank God you are fully awake! I hope the dizziness and headache has lessened?” Mrs Smith asked her son happy that he’s gradually coming around.
Justin nodded and accepted the water she offered, he drank a mouthful of it and placed it in her palm again.
“Who are you, please? Where am I?” Justin’s question surprised Mrs Smith.
“Oh no, this can’t be happening to my son. Could it be that he has amnesia as the doctor said? Oh am finished!” She cried and that woke Sophia.
“Ma’am, what is wrong? Why are you in tears?” Sophia asked not believing her eyes, it’s rare to see a boss woman shedding tears.
“My son… help me call the doctor right now!” Mrs Smith shouted at her.
Sophia looked at Justin to see that he’s awake and moping at them like a lost sheep. “Are you okay, Justin?” She asked quickly.
“What happened to me? Who are you? Where is this strange place?” He asked and Sophia’s eyes widened.
Now she understands what left Mrs Smith in such state, she reached for a telephone and called the doctor.
“Yes, we need you here right now, he’s fully awake but he’s behaving strangely this morning” She said to the phone when the doctor picked up.
“I will be there right away!” The doctor said.
“Make it fast bstard!” Mrs Smith screamed taking the phone from Sophia and smashing it.
Ever since Sophia joined the assassinators, she has never heard or seen Mrs Smith in such condition, so this shows that she cares for her son. Now she really wishes her ever loving and caring parents are still alive.
Whoever did that to them must pay hugely, she just has to stay here no matter what, get trained, and be strong and brave enough to defeat the person(s) that murdered them. She vowed silently drawn to tears.
Sophia didn’t know if his having amnesia is a good or bad thing because he’s part of her problems, if he hadn’t drugged her and had his way with her, she would be at home on her birthday night and maybe she would have averted her parents plight and the tragedy that befell her wouldn’t be this huge.
What if you were also klled? Have you also thought about that? An inner voice shunned. All the same, he’s a jerk and it’s strange for her to pity him on his condition.
The doctor was led in by Stella. They all stood up and went by the side to give the doctor way to examine his patient.
“Remember I told you before that he might have a temporary memory loss which he will only recall his past if he’s in a familiar environment”
“That’s not possible at all, I can’t send him back to that man. He stays here with me and I know he will gradually remember everything” Mrs Smith countered.
“Whatever is fine by you, but as a doctor I would advise he is taken to wherever he was before for quick recovery, what matters now is his health ma’am”
Mrs Smith turns to Justin and say; “how can he just forget, oh… You know your name right? Remember, I am your mother and I love you so much”
“You are my mother? Is this our house? Who are these people then?” He asks pointing at Sophia and Stella.
Stella has another tale to tell her colleagues about the latest turn of events, so Mr Romeo doesn’t remember his name not to talk of his Juliet. Have they even met before? If yes, then Sophia must be lying.
She didn’t understand the look on Sophia’s face, her facial expression is unreadable so she doesn’t know if it’s sadness, worry or happiness that’s clouding her eyes.
Well, the good news remains that Justin has a blackout and she must take advantage of the situation.
Mrs Smith goes to him, takes his hand and squeezes reassuringly… “You will be fine son, I promise”
Sophia gazed at them for a while, then looked away to hide her tearful eyes. What could have been Justin’s reaction if he remembered who she was? Remorseful? Mock?
Well, Sophia, it’s better you get stronger quick and run… she hates to imagine him grinning wickedly at her because he got what he wanted after he arrogantly approached her in school and she arrogantly rejected him.
To think that he released the sx tape without his face in it? Crap! That simply means she is the bad one while he is still the good guy.
She turned quietly and left the room without notice, maybe Stella saw her sneak out because she’s too close to her. What does she care?

Mr Mc Millan felt bad as he ended the call. One of his informants called to inform him that the guy he sent to fetch tangible information about Me Smith to him has been caught by Smith’s men and he knows that’s close to the end for him.
He needs to act fast and send words across to one of his friends who is a legal practitioner for the documents he found as evidence against Mr Smith so that charges will be pressed sooner before he comes for him.
He dialled Bar. Jake’s number and was glad he picked at the second ring. “Hello, Jake? It’s been ages since we last spoke how are you doing?” He talked first.
He heard a sigh from the other end before the guy replied, “Have you fallen into some kinda problem cause I believe your calling me means that there’s something up your sleeve” Bar. Jake hushed.
“That’s not particularly true, but I don’t want to talk about matters like that while I’m in danger!”
“Wait… I said it! What sort of danger are you? Have you breaken the law?”
“No, that’s not it. Actually, someone else broke the law and he’s still on it as we speak until maybe we stop him. I have evidenced that’s enough to send him to prison or probably to the grave”
“How sure are you about this info you are delivering? I don’t want fake news and I hate it when someone plays with my intelligence!”
“I am more than sure about this, I will send you everything and you will see for yourself, bye”
“Okay, till then”
Mr Mc Millan cut the call and placed his phone on the counter as he thought of what to do next before it’s too late to defend himself and defeat that man.
He hired the wrong guy to work for him, and to think that he didn’t keep to his own part of the deal! Who does Smith think he is anyway? He thought venting his anger on the counter.
He has touched the tiger’s tail by klling one of his men… “he wants war, I will give him war! I can’t run out of this City because of a man that has just one head like me, no way!!”
One of his security men ran inside, “Sir, what is it? Do you need anything, Sir?” He asked, obviously thinking that he called him.
“Get lost!” He thundered.
The guy scurried away frantically.
Mr Mc Millan took his phone again and called one of his men and ordered him to get more men and get ready for war against Smith and his men.
CRACKED LIFE : CHAPTER 11 – 20

Sophia sat propped up over the roof of the building staring at space. She remembered when she was Daddy’s princess and mummy’s pet.
Looking back in time when things was alright, still intact and in shape…she recalls her arrogant self in school and her eyes filled with tears.
“Mummy, Daddy, I miss you so much and, I hope you are happy there beside your Maker? I wish I know who did that to you…” she wailed.
Sophia, the leader of the bad girls geng in High school, the rich brat, the most popular and beautiful girl in school is now worth nothing.
She still can’t believe it! She didn’t imagine that such ridiculous thing would happen to her, that the world that was hers to conquer is now against her, she didn’t ever in her weirdest dreams imagine it.
Tears wetted her flawless face, she didn’t try to stop it, some times, it feels good to just cry and taste your tears when you feel your life is at the end point.
“Sophia?” Stella called, she didn’t hear her come in.
So she turned her face surprisingly and fought to hide her face at the same time. “Ehm… what?” She managed.
“Were you crying? Was that tears I saw on your face?” Stella asked curiously.
“Crying? No, not really… I was just…”
“Wait a minute, don’t tell me you are crying because Justin lost his memory and doesn’t remember you again?!” Stella cut her off.
“What? I…” she wanted to spill, but she found no reason to travel through the memory lane again, so she said slowly, “he doesn’t even remember his name, he must be hurting”
Stella has a gospel to spread to the others, she’s a frenemy… she’s so jealous of this lucky girl that she saved and was once happy for, she has to spoil her name by all means.
It’s a good thing Justin doesn’t remember her, she would do anything to drive Sophia out and make him fall for her charms… isn’t she beautiful enough to do that? And she would strive to get Mrs Smith’s attention again!
She just has to pretend to be her friend, a good one and get Justin to start liking her and she would shove her through the window.
“Too bad and it hurts for a friend to be left in such a condition, right?” She asks, and Sophia nods sadly.
“It shall be alright, honey. Let’s go inside, okay?” She said.
Sophia accepted and they took the stairs down to their room.
