SECOND CHANCE : EPISODE 1-10
Mindy’s hold on the fork loosen and it fell on the floor making a clattering sound.
“What?” Mindy exclaimed loudly.
“Well yeah. I’m sorry for the confusion but I came to marry Kaila” He said.
*I can’t believe it, he chose that ugly slave over my pretty daughter?* Paulina thought.
“Can I have a word with Miss Kaila” He asked.
“Sure” Paulina replied and stood up then headed to the kitchen.
She saw Kaila eating peaceful. She walked up to her and pulled her up by the hair.
“Listen you insect, that man out there is here to see you. Now if you dare open that your stinky mouth and say anything bad about me and Mindy, I will kll you” She said and Kaila nodded trying to free herself from her grip.
She released her.
“Good, now walk out of here and go and meet him” She said.
Kaila nodded with fear in her eyes. She arranged her dress and her hair before walking out of the kitchen with a fake smile on her face.
Immediately William saw her his heart fluttered as he smiled at her.
“Miss Kaila, we meet again” He said.
*Again?* Mindy thought…
Kaila simply nodded.
“Please can we discuss outside?” William said.
Kaila looked at her step mom before nodding. They walked out of the house and sat down on a swing where kids used to play…
Kaila took her lower lip in, something that she does when she’s nervous or anxious.
“The reason why I came here is because, I don’t know how it happened and I know it too sudden but I think I love you” William said…
Kaila eyes widen as she stared at him. He slowly took her hand and placed a kss on it. Kaila just stared at him surprised.
“I’m serious about that, I really love you. The reason why I came here is because, I want to marry you” He said.
Kaila’s eyes almost popped out of its socket as he said those words.
“Marry me? I’m an illiterate, I come from a poor family, I never went to school. And also isn’t it too sudden, we just met yesterday” Kaila said.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re illiterate or not. The most important thing is that I love you, I know it’s too sudden but I’m someone who likes doing things very fast” He said still holding her hands.
*If I accept to marry him then I can afford to my father and also my step mom and sister need* Kaila thought.
“Um alright. I accept” She said looking down…
William smiled happily as he heard what she said.
“Are you serious?” He asked and she nodded…
“Thanks so much, I promise I’ll cherish you and I’ll also do all what it takes for you to love me” He said happily…
She nodded and smiled. They both stood up and faced each other.
“Can I…Can I kss you?” He asked.
Kaila stared at him and then nodded with a smile. He slowly held her by the waist and pulled her closer.
He lifted her chin up and then pressed his lips on hers. Kaila held on to his suit with her eyes closed.
Mindy who was standing by their house watched everything. Tears escaped her eyes and she stormed into the house, passing her mother
Paulina glared at them with her fist clenched.
“I can’t allow that wench to steal my daughter’s future” She said to no one in particular.
Kaila discussed for sometime with him before he drove off in his car. She sighed and then walked back home.
Upon arriving home she came face to face with her step mom.
“How does he know you?” Paulina asked.
“He..He h!t me with his car when I made to cross the road. He apologized to me and then gave me some cash which I gave to you yesterday” She said holding her dress.
“Since he was the one who gave you that money, where’s the money you earned yesterday” She asked seriously.
“Well…I…I gave them to some kids, they looked like they were hungry” Kaila replied trembling already.
Paulina chuckled dryly.
“So not only did you waste my goods on some stupid kids but you also lied to me” She said.
Kaila looked down and took in her lips…
She grabbed Kaila by the hair and pulled her to huge tank of water. She opened it and held Kaila’s head then dipped it inside.
Kaila struggled to get her head out of the tank but it was impossible. Her grip was too firm..
Paulina pulled her head out of the tank.
“This is for lying to me” She said and dipped her head back.
After minute, she pulled her head out. Kaila coughed out water and breathed heavily.
“And this is for making my daughter cry” She said and dipped her head back into water.
Kaila struggled to get out of it but it was impossible. For one full minute Paulina dipped her head in water.
