Her, his desire

The guards were outside and that disrespectful Kaleb is out of sight. Sadie gave him a confused look pushing him back since he will still come close to her even if she shifts back. ” I don’t understand, what do you mean I should offer you me?” She asked crossing her arms when James finally stopped getting too close to her. ” C’mon sister in-law, you are not a kid are you? Don’t pretend you don’t know what I am saying beautiful, I want you. I promise, your husband won’t know of it” James said finally grabbing her, Sadie gasped. ” What are you doing James? Are you out of your mind?” She asked trying to get herself freed from his grip. ” Yes beautiful, I became out of my mind the very moment I set my eyes on you. We can do this peacefully without anyone getting to know about it. Have you ever done a quickie?” James asked bringing his lips to kiss her. Anger watched through Sadie, she gave him three resounding slaps and he staggered back wards. ” Damn you ” James said glaring at her while holding his cheeks. Is there any metal in her palm? He has never been slapped this hard before. Even Mena’s slap didn’t hurt this much. Damn this beautiful lady. ” If you think you can deceive everyone and make them trust you then go behind their back to take what is theirs then you’ve failed James, Nathan trust and love you so much. And you think forcing me to have sèx with you is the only way to repay his love back?” ” Do not ever try this with me next time else, you will be beaten like a thief ” Sadie spat with so much hate for this man. How can he touch her with his filthy hands? As smart as Nathan is when it comes to business, Sadie is so disappointed he can’t differentiate between fake and real . This James guy can even plot evil against Nathan if he can request sèx from her, his brother’s wife. James laughed dryly with his hands still on his cheeks. ” You have no right to preach to be beautiful, Nathan loving me is his business. I want you, since I do. Trust me sister in-law, I will have you because I am James Rogers, I get what I want. No one can stop me, not even you. You can never stop me from having you ” James said straightening his dress, at that moment, Nathan walked in and met the tension in the sitting room. ” What’s happening here?” He asked coming in. He looked at Sadie but she looked away. ” B.. bro, you are back ” James said with a smile like everything is fine. ” Yeah, so?” Nathan asked. ” Nothing, nothing, I was just having a discussion with my sister in-law. Right?” James said passing Sadie a look, she glared at him in return. She feel so angry, angry at Nathan for being so blind to see the kind of person James is. He almost had his way with her if not for the fact that she stood her ground. If it was to be a secluded spot, only God knows that everything could have been history by now. ” Welcome back ” she said to Nathan who chuckled. His wife can be a handful sometimes. What’s with her? Is she not bonding well with his brother? ” Thank you wifey, please drop them in the room for me ” he said handing her the briefcase with a kiss. .. Sadie collected the briefcase with no words coming from her. Just like that, she left. She won’t come down here till that James guy is gone and she have to warn Nathan about him. Both James and Nathan sat back on the cushion. ” Don’t be angry at my wife’s attitude, it is just her time of the month and the mood swings are normal ” Nathan said and both of them laughed while James nodded in understanding. Nathan noticed James’ red cheeks and frowned. ” What happened to you James? Your cheeks are red ” he asked James gulped and laughed nervously thinking of a lie to tell him. ” Huh… Oh, this? It’s nothing, I hit my face on the wall this morning, forget about it, it’s nothing really ” He quickly said touching his cheeks. Nathan just shrugged and let it slide. He called a maid to serve him a drink before he began discussing with James. ” Tell me James, when are you planning on joining me in dad’s companies? I have my own agency to run you know So I need a helping hand” Nathan said, both him and his Dad has already finalized that he hand over all his companies to James so Nathan can face just his own but they haven’t discussed it with James yet, it is going to be a surprise for him. James sat quietly for a while seething his teeth mentally. Imagine him being the helping hand when they could have given him the companies to handle. His Uncle is so selfish, how can he not give him any of his companies? Damnit! James want everything. ” How about next w…..” He was cut off by the chaos coming from the kitchen. Both Nathan and James was about standing up when Kaleb and some other guards dragged a maid to the living room with all the workers following behind. It was that same maid Nathan asked to get him a drink. Even Sadie rushed downstairs on hearing the noise. The maid bowed her head in tears, her face was already res with slaps Kaleb and the guards gave her. Even James tensed up on seeing the maid but he kept calm. ” What is it Kaleb? Why are you dragging and beating the maid?” Nathan asked . Sadie stood beside him with a frown. Kaleb dropped the drink in his hand and cleared his throat. ” I saw her poisoning your drink young master ” Kaleb said pointing at the substance and the drink. Sadie and Nathan stiffened. Poison? Again? Nathan was surprised, he thought everything has ended years ago but history almost repeated itself? His face turned cold ice immediately, he matched towards the lady, held her by the hair, slapping and punching the hell out of her. ” I picked you from the street, I gave you life, I gave you shelter, I gave you food, I pay you. The only way to repay my kindness is trying to kill me?” Nathan said each words with a punch. Sadie just stood there Frozen unable to believe that. This maid almost poisoned her husband, she wants to make Sadie miserable by killing Nathan, she wants to make her a widow…. What have they done to deserve this? ” I.. I.. I.. i. am sorry Young Master ” The maid managed to stutter with blood dripping from her mouth and her face bruised. ” Who sent you?” Nathan growled. The maid glanced at James who held a death glare and shook her head. ” I can’t tell ” she replied. The guard kicked her, she stumbled on the floor and fell. ” I won’t ask you again, who sent you to poison me?” Nathan asked this time with a loud growl. His eyes turned red from anger with his hands balled into a fist. ” I am sorry Young Master ” She said again! Even from all the beating she is receiving, she was still adamant. How can she tell when the person that sent her is right beside her. He already her if things go wrong, she should dare not to call his name else, he will kill her family. She can’t risk her family’s life! James have her family and he might kill them if she say anything about him. She’d rather be the one to die! ” Can’t you speak? Who sent you to poison my brother? Did you want him dead? If I get to find out who did, I won’t spare you and the person ” James said feigning anger, he was truly angry but not with the fact that Nathan was almost poisoned but because the useless maid failed to do a simple task. The maid scoffed inwardly. Speak of the devil!!! . Nathan was about saying something when a call came into his phone. His mum was calling… ” Take her to the torture room Kaleb, hand her to the guards. If she did not confess till the next 24hours, hand her over to the cops ” Nathan said and left while Sadie followed him. Kaleb and the guards took her away while James picked up his car keys and left without informing Nathan. He is not giving up that easily. ” Mum ” Nathan called trying to make his voice sound as normal as possible while Sadie soothing his back to calm him down. ” Son, your sister! ” Mrs Rogers said in a broken voice. Nathan jerked up from the bed immediately. ” What is wrong mum? What happened to Mena? Is she fine?” Nathan asked tensed. ” Mena is pregnant and she refused to tell us who is responsible ” ” Mena is what?” **************************** ” You still came back today young man? I don’t know you ” Mrs Huang said to Max. ” I know ” he replied simply with a sad smile. ” Then why are you insisting that you are my son? ” She asked again. It was so hard for Sofia yesterday, she doesn’t know but she believes Max. Does that mean they are siblings? ” Because you are mum, take a look at this. This is a DNA test, Sofia is my sister ” Max said handing her the result but she shook her head. Mrs Huang is suddenly developing a migraine. Her head is beginning to hurt her. ” I don’t want to believe that ” she said ” Believe me mum, but Dad and I have been searching for you all this years. For the past fifteen years mum, I won’t lie to you ” Max said convincingly. ” Fifteen years?” Mrs Huang asked with a frown. That was when she got into an accident and lost her memory till now. ” Yes mum, before then. You gave birth to me Max, Sofia whose name is Annabelle and her twin sister Sadie whose real name is Isabelle ” Max said. Sofia frowned, what is he saying? Which Sadie is her twin? And when is her name Annabelle that she is not aware of? The whole thing is beginning to confuse her . ” Those names!! Why does it feel like I have heard them before?” Mrs Huang asked. At the mention of those names, a feeling of sadness, grief, guilt and love overwhelmed her. ” Ahh!! My head is hurting ” she said holding her head. Sofia rushed to her mum and held her. ” Please don’t tell me about everything, you are not my son. I don’t know who your father is, I have been married to one husband all my life and he is dead” She protested still holding her head. Max sighed, this isn’t going to be easy, it’s high time he informed his Dad. Maybe if he comes over, it will make his mum regain her memory or something. ” Okay, okay! I am not your Son but I have longed for the love of a mother since childhood, can you be my mum please?” Max said staring at the Mrs Huang….. She stopped holding her head for a moment to think it through. ” That will be better son, I promise to take you as my own son and give you the motherly love you lacked ” Max’s face brighten up. He stood up and hugged the woman together with Sofia who kept staring. He needs to explain all this to her. ” Thank you, thank you. I can call you mum right?” He asked. ” Of course dummy ” Mrs Huang replied playfully. ” Thank you mum, I am very grateful ” ” You are welcome Son ” “So, can I take my mum and sister for a family outing? ” He asked. Mrs Huang glanced at Sofia, Sofia just shrugged. ” It will be for just few minutes son ” ” Yaaay!!!” Max jumped up childishly. Thirty minutes later…… ” Let’s go in m…” Max stopped when someone bumped into him. ” I am sorry ” the person said. Everyone raised their heads up to see the man. Max gasped, he knows this face! He remembers this face like the back of his palm…. ” Uncle?” Max called utterly surprised. Where has he been all this years? Mrs Huang staggered back wards in fright…. The scene of what happened in the serene room kept back into her head like it happened yesterday. ” G.. Galen ” she whispered and passed out. ” Mum ” both Sofia and Max yelled simultaneously. Before they could turn back again, Galen was nowhere to be found.

**************** ” Who is responsible for this pregnancy Mena? ” Nathan asked for the umpteenth time. Sadie that sat beside him in his dad’s sitting room made him calm and a little relaxed. Mena sulkily bowed her head with her heart beating fast. ” Who is responsible for this pregnancy Mena? If I ask this question again, you won’t like what I will do to you. What is wrong with you ?” Nathan snapped angrily. What’s stopping her from mentioning the person’s name? How dare the person? She is still a student for Pete’s sake. Mena flinched at Nathan’s sudden voice. What is she going to do? She told Leon this isn’t a good plan and now Nathan is angry. ” I told you, she wouldn’t speak. She refused to say anything about who got her pregnant ” Mrs Rogers said sadly. She is not angry at the fact that Mena is pregnant but why she refused to mention the person’s name. Or was she ràped? Did the father of the baby deny the pregnancy? Slap!! Nathan stood up and gave Mena a slap. ” Nathan stop it, you shouldn’t have slapped her. Will that solve a thing?” Sadie scolded glaring at her husband while holding Mena and patting her tenderly. Mr Rogers sat there patiently waiting for Mena to speak up. He doesn’t want to loose his patience too. ” Start speaking now Mena, who is responsible for your pregnancy?” Nathan asked again. Mena sob loudly, her tears pouring down like rain. Her brother hit her! ” L… Leon. Leon is responsible for my pregnancy ” She muttered slowly while bowing her head waiting for the worse to happen. There was a sudden tension in the air as Nathan balled his hands in a fist. ” Fuçking Leonard! I will kill him ” Nathan said and ran out of the house before anyone could stop him.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
