Chapter 85
It was not his intention to hurt her or anything but she was so concerned about her friend and with everything that was going on, he needed some time to digest everything that was happening to him, especially the thoughts that were roaming all over his head whenever he was not with Georgia. Watching her leave his car, Simon came down to call her back but it did not seem like she wanted to talk to anyone, and walking away from her house as well, she saw a cab passing by and she boarded it.
“I can’t believe he just made me feel like a lunatic,” Georgia spoke out with her eyes filled with tears, and the cab driver listening to Tinker murmur behind his taxi, asked what destination she had given but she was too confused and devastated do even think properly so she said,
“Just keep driving driver, you can leave me anywhere.” Her head was a mess and not being able to understand what was going on with her, Georgia declined herself at the back of the taxi being caught up between sanity and insanity.
It was a very difficult moment for Simon as he felt so hurt about what had just taken place. Thinking whether he had to follow her so that she would not create any problems for herself, Simon it out a deep sigh as he watched the car that she had taken drive off the street till the end.
From his face, one could tell that he was very hurt but what was he supposed to do? the dude was practically confused about the next step to take which made him walk back into his car to have some reasoning before being able to do anything.
“I want to know what is going on with her but what can I do, everything is a mess and there isn’t much I can do for now,” he spoke out while caressing his face with his palms and after a lot of contemplation, Simon decided to give Georgia sometime to think knowing that it was going to help her a little.
Crystal had been listening to Blaze’s story on how his aunty, finally decided to start dragging the property that his late father had put in his name. He spoke out with pain and anger at the same time as she could see how red he had become.
Trying to always rub his face with her hands whenever she felt that he was getting too angry, Crystal whispered in his ears not to feel hurt because it is all in the past but Blaze looking into her eyes, said softly,
“It is difficult to understand how greed and money can turn people into monsters.”
Crystal had not wanted to give attention to the whole story, but she had to though she could see how affected he was by it and that was something she did not want to happen as it was only going to bring back sad memories. Not wanting to also ask what had happened to his aunty and her son, Crystal held him right to her body like she was never going to let go, and with a breath of pain mixed with nice and affection, she whispered into his ears her unconditional and undying love for him which was something that she had never felt for any man.
Blaze was glad to hear her say all those sweet words to him and taking into consideration what she was living at that particular point in life, she needed to know that human beings are not what they seem to be and most often, the person or people who turn out to be your greatest enemies, are those who are closer to you and who know you in and out movements as well as your deepest secrets of a time.
The thin line between the agony and hurt that he was feeling inside, was not compared to hers because he had witnessed the death of two important people who were his everything die on the same day just because of material things.
His biological mother had given birth to him in the Jadiel Mansion where she worked as a maid. On employing her to work for them, Mrs. Jadiel had no clue that her new maid was expecting and Blaze’s mom was not also aware of the state in which she was in as her boyfriend had passed away and things had become tougher for her reasons why she left the province.
Scared for her job, she pleaded with her boss and his wife to please have her stay there till she gathered some money and left with her son and Mr. Jadiel and his wife being kind people, they accepted for her to be there as she had no one nor nowhere else to go to. She had never taken her job for granted not even for a day and she knew what her place was.
Mrs. Jadiel being so good to her made his mom confident around her and also feel free whenever she was done with chores. Worried about the situation that she was facing, Mrs. Jadiel was taken aware someday crying in her room all alone with baby clothes scattered all over her bed.
Her heartbeat was heavy and the thought of her never being able to hold her flesh and blood in her arms made it even worse. She had everything she had ever asked for, a good man, rich and influential, a big house, and much more but she was the traditional kind of woman who did not believe in adoption though her husband was in support of it.
“Ma’am, what is happening?”, she asked her Matron who had not listened to her walking into her room and took up her head, she was frightened at the sight of her but the real word was that she was embarrassed because her secret as a fruitless woman was exposed.
Faced with the situation, she rapidly stood up and endeavored to pick up the baby dresses from the bed, she was stopped by Blaze’s mom who held her hand while keeping her gaze on her saying,
” I know what you are going through ma’am and I can assure you that your secret is very ave with me,” her words console her in the coolest way ever. She could not hold back her tears as she Broke down in an uncontrollable state.
Opening up to her maid, was the most difficult thing to do but she needed confidence because she was dying slowly inside. Her life has been from one hospital to another searching for solutions but all proved abortive and her husband was not helping matters whenever she behaved like nothing was wrong.
Blaze’s mom filled with so much grieve for her paramour told her to worry about a thing as God knows how to repay kind people like her but it was obvious that she was already tired of the situation and her greatest fear was for her husband to leave her someday but listening to what her maid had to tell her, she felt calm after some movement of the discussion.
Life was indeed a strange one as what you want is never given to you but there is someone out there who does not even pray for that thing but he or she is the person who is going to be located with it.
Holding Mrs. Jadiel’s hands, she encourages her not to lose hope and to always stay positive because that is the only way to keep her home. Bringing up points that made her understand that her constant crying and worries over the situation will not help her and her family but rather tear them apart, she advised her to get down on her knees and pray for God’s intervention because he always listens to everyone.
With her eyes filled with tears that made them blurred do even see clearly, she was more worried about what people had to say about her status but talking her out of such thinking, made her know how important it is to have to keep a focused head and face life if not her nagging and crying was going to push her husband away.
She nodded in agreement to what her maid had just said as it was the truth. Her mind flashed back to the few things which had been going on between her husband and herself lately and all that was due to her mind not being at peace with the dilemma that she was living. It had been six years of marriage yet there was nothing to show for it and that alone was something that made her fear separation or worse still another woman coming into her house saying that she was her husband’s mistress because that was going to kill her.
Feeling her pain, she told her Matron to calm herself down and think properly, let her quest for a child not destroy the love that was in her home as her husband loved her regardless of the circumstances. Mrs. Jadiel could not believe all that her maid had told her and thanked her so much, she cried more like a baby but her tears were wiped off as she told her not to worry about her secret because it was safe with her.
“You are truly a good person and I pray that you have all your heart desires as well as your child’s,” she murmured with a smile.
“Thank you, ma’am, I will be going downstairs I just came to say that dinner is served,” she said turning to walk away from the room but she was called back by her Paramour who told her not to hesitate to ask her anything whenever she was needed. A smile was seen on her face as she felt happy that her mistress was feeling better but she did not want to cross her limits when it came to her job.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
