Episode 29
By Chidimma Mirabel
The car stopped in front of the castle and he alighted the car. He gave his suitcase to a maid and walked in the house.
He was surprised to see his little sister and his nephew there.
“Uncle Jackie is back!!” Richard exclaimed and stood up then ran to Jackson.
“Stop calling me that name” He said and kssed his cheek.
He walked in further to his sister and hugged her too.
“To what do I owe this visit?” He asked.
“Well we came to see your wife. Nelson had alot of work so he couldn’t come with us” Dayanna said.
Nelson is Dayanna husband. A business man, he’s so much occupied but always create time for his family. Maybe this time it was important.
“Cool, wow Richie you’ve grown. Last time I saw you, you were a year old.” Jackson said.
Richard smiled in his arms and yawned.
“I’ll go put you to bed” Jackson said and excuse himself.
He walked upstairs and entered a room that was cleaned and decorated for Richard. He placed him on the bed and covered him with the duvet.
“Uncle, please I want you to always trust and believe in aunt Angela” Richard said.
“Of course I will” He replied and kssed his forehead before walking out of the room.
*Can’t believe I missed my cute snoring pig* He said walking to Angela’s room.
*It’s 9pm I’m sure she must be sound asleep by now* He thought as he checked the time on his wrist watch…
He opened the door to her room and saw no one.
*Strange* He thought.
*Maybe he’s in the study room* He thought and walked to the study room.
The door was already opened so he entered and there he met the second most devastating view in his life…
He stood there, frozen on the spot as he watched his own brother kssing his wife.
“Angel” He said in a cracked voice.
Theodore finally released Angela when he heard a voice behind him. He turned and his eyes wide as he saw Jackson standing by the door.
Angela rubbed her wrist as it was hurting her, his grip on her was too harsh. She’s been struggling to push him away but she couldn’t. She even thought he was gonna rape her but luckily he released her.
Angela looked up and her heart stopped beating for some seconds as she saw Jackson standing there. Oh no, what is he gonna think about her, that she’s cheating on him? She never meant to, he forced himself on her…
“Jackson…” Theodore said slowly.
Jackson clenched his fist in anger and launched at Theodore. He grabbed him by the collar and showered his face with punches. He punched him out of blind anger…
*Why me? I thought I found someone who’ll stick with me no matter what, someone i could trust…And now this* He thought as tears escaped his eyes.
“No Jackson, you’re gonna kill him. Please stop” Angela said as she tried to pull him away from him.
Jackson gave him one last pvnch and release him.
“How could you. I trusted you brother, I thought you were happy for me” Jacks yelled in tears.
By that time the rest of the family where standing by the door as they watched the drama going on.
“I’m sorry Jack, I’m sorry but I love her” He said.
That seemed to anger Jackson more as he made to h!t him again but Angela held his arm. She was in tears…
“From now on stay away from me” Jackson said and grabbed Angela’s arm as he pulled her out of the study room.
Theodore touched his lips. It was bI.eeding. He stormed out of the room too and went his way…
Nina who was just coming saw him pass her in anger. She hesitated but decided to follow him…
Jackson walked into his room and threw Angela in before locking the door.
Angela sniffed in tears…
“Jack,,,you have to believe me. I didn’t kss him, he was the one who…”
“For how long have you been cheating on me” He asked calmly with his head down…
“Huh?”
“FOR HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN CHEATING ON ME!!!” He yelled which made Angela flinch…
“You have to believe me Jack, I didn’t cheat on you. I will never do that” She said in tears.
“I trusted you, I thought you were different from her. That you will stay by me, I even fell for you. And what? in the end, you just showed me that you’re just a whore” He spatted.
Angela sI.apped him hard on the cheek which made his head to bend side ways.
“Never you dare call me a whore. Call me a thief, a fool anything but don’t call me a whore. You have no idea of what I went through in that place. I thought you said you believe me, you trusted me. If that’s the case then we can just cancel our agreement” She said and stormed out of the room.
Jackson stood on the same spot, same position. The degree of guilt he felt at that time rendered him speechless…
Angela ran into her room and locked the door shut. Her knees gave up and she sat on the ground as she wept bitterly.
*I thought you were different, that once I’ll tell you about my past that you’ll believe me and accept me for who I am. I decided to give you my heart but how can I when you don’t believe me* She thought…
She stood up and staggered to her bed. She made to lie down but passed out on the ground, the pain was too much…
