15. What do you want?
Lucas had wooed Tina for three consecutive months before she finally agreed to become his girlfriend. He was the happiest man that day she finally agreed to have a relationship with him. They had dated for quite some time and things were going smoothly. Just when he was planning to propose to her and later open up about his identify she brought the issue of breaking up.
Lucas had thought that she was maybe pranking him until he saw her kissing his best friend and then she uttered those ugly words about him being nothing but a penniless punk.
He was hurt but then he thought that it was better that way, atleast he didn’t get to be stuck with such type of a woman.
Lucas stripped his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower before resigning to the bed for the night.
He has in mind calling his assistant to bring him a set of new clothes for him since he couldn’t wear the same clothes the following day.
He wrapped himself with a bathrobe before exiting the bathroom and immediately climbed the bed and in no time, he dozed off.
Marina went back to her room having in mind to finish afew files awaiting her. She had an important case to attend in two days time so she had to take all the time she could get and review the case.
She could as well delegate the work to her apprentice but cases involving gender violence against women was something she loved to handle them herself.
Settling in her work table that served as her working place whenever she was bored to go to the study room. She started going through the files. She had to understand the case in details and device her defense.
Minutes later, she yawned and stretched herself indicating that she was sleepy. She arranged the files well and went to take a quick shower before going to bed.
In country A
” Mum, you can get discharged today. The doctor said that you are good to go but you have to take good care of yourself.” Martina said holding her mom’s hand.
Looking at that woman sitting on the bed, her complexion had improved and her face had colour.
” That’s good then, what are you waiting for, let’s get out of this place already.” Her mother said.
Martina was very much aware of how much her mom hated being in the hospital. The stay here wasn’t that peaceful. Her mom would occasionally ask to request the doctor to discharge her. She would whine like a small girl telling how much she hated the place.
” What’s with the rush Mom, I need to settle the discharge papers first and settle the bill, only then can we go home.” Martina replied.
” Then hurry up already.” Her mother chastised her.
” Okay okay, am leaving.” She said and proceeded to go settle everything. She could see that if she delayed, her Mom might eat her alive.
Martina went to settle the Bill and the discharge papers of her mother. She could see that her mom was excited to leave the hospital but most importantly she knew that she was happy because she will be seeing her daughter soon enough.
” See who we got here.” An annoyingly voice was heard. Martina turned only to see that bastard smiling walking towards her.
She felt her mood dampen. of all places, why see him here?
“What do you want?” Martina asked him, her voice plain.
“What kind of tone is that baby?” He asked angering Martina even more.
” Who is your baby! Watch your words bastard!” Martina cursed him loudly.
” How arrogant?” The man spat.” The last assignment I delegated to you, you didn’t accomplish. You made me loose my clients trust not to mention the amount of money I lost.” He venomously said.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
” How’s that any of my business?” Martina asked angrily.
” How dare you talk to me in that tone?” The man asked dangerously.
” And how do you expect me to talk to you? all you care about is money money everytime. Do you even care about the people you use to earn the money? what do you take us for? Your money bags?” Martina was getting more angrier. she couldn’t believe the nerve of this Man. All he cares about is money, nothing More.
” You earn handsomely everytime you do a task, what are you complaining about?” he retorted.
” am done here, it’s no use talking to you.” Martina said walking away.
” Who said I am done with you? where are you going? How dare you walk away while am talking to you.” The man was still shouting but Martina wouldn’t have any of it. She continued to walk away. she won’t waste her time talking to him. They will never encounter each other anyways.
The man was Martina’s Boss. He was the boss of the mercenary organization she has been working for.
Finishing her business, Martina went back to her mom’s ward only to find her mother all ready to leave. She had already packed everything only awaiting her daughter’s return so that they can finally leave this horrible place.
” Are you done?” Her mother asked.
” Yeah Mom, it’s done. I can see you can’t wait to leave this place.” Martina said chuckling.
” I have been here for a long time, anyone would be eager to leave this confinements.” Her mother answered.
” Okay mommy, let’s get you out of here.” Martina replied to her mother.
” I will walk by myself, don’t even think about getting me a wheelchair.” Her mother warned sternly.
” How did you know that I will ask for a wheelchair?” Martina asked perplexed. she ofcourse wanted to ask the doctor to lend her a wheelchair to help ferry her mom to the waiting lot where the taxi was waiting for them.
” I know you better my daughter but don’t bother, I am strong enough to walk.” her mother said .
” Are you sure about that mommy?” Martina asked worriedly.
” Very sure.” she replied.
