CHAPTER THIRTY SIX
~
Scott.
~
I was in a very important business meeting when i received a call on my phone. I ignored it at first but it continued, gosh why the hell is she disturbing me now?!. Thought I have granted her request….so…what again??.
“Excuse me.” I said standing up from my seat, I walked out of the meeting room to pick the call.
“Scott!.” Her voice came in.
“Sis, am in the midst of something very important, please call me later.” I said.
“Scott….wait…listen, Riley…..she….” She stammered.
Gosh…. I have no time for this!.
“What’s up with her sis?.” I asked impatiently cause i needed to go back to my business partners inside.
“She’s at the hospital as we speak, she’s…”
“Hospital?. What the h’ll is she doing there?.” I interfered.
“I….don’t know….Scott, please come over here!.”
I sighed, disconnected the call and went back inside. “Carry on without me, I have an emergency to attend to.” I said.
“Alright sir.” They responded in unison.
~~~
I did what Sister Yuri told me to do, to meet ’em at the hospital, she had already sent me the address immediately i hit the road so I headed straight to the specific place.
The reason why she’s there might not even be that serious, maybe she fainted again cause of her pregnancy…..gosh….sister Yuri takes little things serious.
I stopped the car at the parking lot and got out, I walked into the hospital and sent sister Yuri a text that am already here. Not up to a minute, i sighted Sis Yuri approaching to where i stayed.
“Scott…” She exclaimed as she looked very dull. What’s up with her?.
“Hey, what’s this all about?. She wasn’t sick this morning right?. So what could have happened?. And by the way, i left a very important meeting…”
“Can’t you stop being heartless for once Scott?.”
Heartless??.
“Come with me.” She said. I sighed as I followed her behind till we stopped at a ward. We got in, she was lying on the bed with her eyes shot closed as a doctor examines her.
Sister Yuri rushed to them when she opened her eyes. I stood at the door side watching them with my arms crossed.
“Riley, you’re finally awake!. Are you okay?.” Sis Yuri asked with tears.
She glanced around as her eyes met mine, she sharply looked away, sitting up as she faced sister Yuri and the doctor.
“Are you okay?.” Sis Yuri repeated.
“Yes, I am.” She replied.
Gosh….!. Are they fking me right now?. I knew nothing happened to her, they just wasted my time!. Am supposed to be at the office by now… I bent my head low, breathing out, feeling pissed off.
“Thank goodness!.” My elder sister exclaimed.
“But…what…about my child?.” She asked with curious look, fixing her gaze at the doctor.
“Am sorry Mrs Scott. Unfortunately, we couldn’t save the child.” He stated.
I raised up my head immediately he said that, huh?.

Riley.

“Am sorry Mrs Scott. Unfortunately, we couldn’t save the child.”
“What??!.”
“Am deeply sorry Riley, i failed you.” Sister Yuri said.
“You had a miscarriage ma’am.” He tells again.
Is he being serious???. My child…is gone?. He must be joking, they must be kidding me!. They have no idea what they’re talking about!.
I laughed cause i found what the doctor said to be very funny. I mean….what the h’ll?.
“Ma’am please you have to take heart.” Said the doctor as he excused himself.
I glimpsed at Scott and laughed again. “You’re joking right???. My baby is still inside of me so please stop saying nonsense.” I chuckled.
“Am sorry but it’s true Riley.” Sister Yuri touched my shoulder.
“No!. It can’t be true!.” I broke down in tears.
Sister Yuri sat on the bed and hugged me. “Please don’t cry Riley. This is all my fault, i promised you’d keep your child but i failed to protect you. Please forgive me Riley, am so sorry.” She uttered.
I withdrew from her hug. “It isn’t your fault sister Yuri. Am a curse, i keep losing those i love. Please don’t blame yourself, my life has been a mess and it’s still a mess.” I cried.
She touched my cheek. “I know how you feel my dear, it’s not easy at all but everything will is gonna be okay, please I need you to believe in that.”
“When will it be okay??. When will my life change?. Cause am sick of all these!. What have i done to deserve all of these huh?!.”
“You ain’t a cur$e dear. Don’t ever say that. God made you to be very special. Everything happens for a reason.”

Sister Yuri.

Gosh!. I feel so bad for Riley. I never expected this to happen at all, I had promised her i’d help her in protecting her child but….now…I couldn’t fulfill that promise and I feel so guilty.
“You ain’t a curse dear. Don’t ever say that. God made you to be very special. Everything happens for a reason.” I said, trying my best to console her. Good Lord, she has gone through a lot and it hurts seeing her like this.
“How did this happen?.” I asked curiously as I glanced at Scott, gosh he is so heartless. How can he stand over there and watch us with no single emotion.
“Jess…Jessica. She’s the one behind this. I was about to descend from the stairs when she pushed me.” She responded.
“Tonia’s friend?.” I asked. This is unbelievable!.
She nodded in respomse. We fixed our gaze at the door when we heard a creaking sound. Scott, he already left.
That brother of mine….!.

Scott.

I left the ward, I couldn’t stand it anymore. Hearing all those stuffs she said made me feel so uncomfortable, like it was hurting my ears. I never knew She and Sister Yuri planned on keeping the baby until what happened.
I headed home with speed, drove and parked roughly in the parking lot. I slammed my car door shut angrily and stormed inside.
Tonia and of course Jessica were seated fixing their attention to the when i entered.
Jessy, she stood up when she noticed me. “Hey baby Scott, you’re finally back.” She smiled, spreading her arms wide to give me a hug.
I stepped backwards, stopping her from embracing me.
“Huh…?. What’s wrong baby?. Don’t you miss me?.” She pouted.
I smirked and nodded, i raised up my hand and gave her a very resounding slap on her plastic cheek.
Tonia gasped as she stood up. “Hey what was that for!?.” She yelled.
“How dare you huh?!. What right do you have to laying your filthy hands on her huh!?.”
“What are you talking about Scott?.” She held her cheek with a shock expression.
I felt more pissed, trying to act innocent huh!. I held her wrist and raked my fingers into her skin. “Don’t play dumb with me bch. You know exactly what you did!. Do I look like a fool to you huh?!.”
“Scott…please you’re hurting me.” She cried feeling the pain am causing on her wrist.
“Last time i remembered, this house belonged to me not Tonia. I want you to go upstairs, pack your things and leave!. I don’t want to see this face here ever again, get it!.” I said through gritted teeth and dropped her wrist.
“Don’t do this Scott.” She begged as tears streaked down her pathetic cheeks.
“I have no idea what you’re saying!.” She added.
“Then get this into your evil head, get the fk out!.” I yelled at her as she flinched, she hastily headed towards the staircase.
“And you…!” I faced Tonia.
