"Ma please ,I promise to be a good boy ,I promise not to get out of the house to play again but please don't lock me up in the cellar,please mummy"The little boy begged with tears laced in his eyes.
"Shut up,you stupid boy I am not your mother ",a woman said Everything froze.
It seems like the world stop moving.
Or is it the earth.
All of her life she has never been hit like that.
Not her parents.
Not her philip.
No one.
She brought it all to herself anyway.
She shouldn't have married that bastard.
Was she out of her mind when hoping he will be the perfect dad for katherine and a good husband...for her?.
She should have just focus on healing and her child,rather than thinking she can't do it all alone.
That she can't guide katherine all alone.
Her heart stung with tears.
Angry tears blurred her eyes .
But guess what.
She will never give that bastard the joy of making her cry.
Never.
Yvonne blinked back the tears threatening to fall.
She look.him straight in the eyes,a huge wave of anger flowed through her veins.
She stared hard at him with an angry gaze.
If for sure a look can kill ,then matt should have been spranged up in the floor dead.
"Does it hurt ,does it sting?It sting that I am saying the truth,why can't you just be a man for once matt and stop wasting your life....",she was saying but was interrupted by an angry matt.
"One more word from you yvonne,one word from you and I swear down I will make you regret it ",he threatened.
He have been trying to keep his cool for some time now.
She keep getting on his nerves and it is annoying the hell out of him.
If not for what for what he wanted from her ,what will he be doing with with her?
He have no plan in getting married again .
Just get money and live his life the way he wants.
What was he even doing when he choose to marry this crazy woman .
He should have just find another way to get what he wants.
The very time he get that stuff in his hands is when he will be done with her.
Yvonne burst into laughter.
She swipe her head backwards as she laugh crazily.
"So...",she trailed as she said in between her laugh.
"What are you going to do?you are going to slap me again or worst more beat me up or kill me like you killed her , Ashley",Yvonne yelled angrily and Matt stared at her fuming in anger.
"What was I even thinking when I thought you are going to be just like philip,that you will be able to be a father to my daughter when you can't even be there for your only son..... your own son,what is your essence here in earth when you can't even love your son ,when you can't protect the woman who loved you for who you are ,with all of your flaws ,how can you be so selfish matt?how could you do that to your own son , your wife",yvonne said as she cried .
The tears was falling involuntarily.
"Shut up yvonne,shut that mouth up .Are you trying to tell me you are the perfect mother in the world ?If so then you should have been with your daughter and heed to her advice of not marrying me,you should have done what will make her happy,you should have put her first before anything",he yelled and yvonne scoffed out tears .
"And that is what is killing me matt,I should not have married a lunatic like ,I shouldn't have rely on you on making us happy,it is very stupid of me ,very lame ",she shouted.
"Yes lame ,a very lame excuse to get married,just admit it yvonne,you were just already tired of your all perfect husband before he died ,you have been hitching on leaving him ,it is not like you love him or anything",matt said and smirk found its way to his face when he saw her expression.
"I agree,say all what you want to say ,say all of the bad word you want to say I don't care,it isn't like you are a normal person anyway,you are just a lunatic ,a crazy, stupid, foolish man who have no life of his own,a psychopath who killed his own wife.But one thing of for sure matt you can never be half of philip ,you are nothing but a mistake", yvonne yelled angrily.as her body shook in anger.
A great anger,she have never felt like this before.
Matt head spin so bad at the word that came out of her mouth.
His mind travelled to his dark past.
A past he dread so much.
A monstrous past.
"You shouldn't have been born,you are nothing but a mistake ,I hate you",
That word filled his mind and heart ,the same word that broke him .
That broke him to no repair.
He let out a deafening scream .
His next action was unthinkable.
He took the vase laying on the table where he was standing and smashed it.
A loud agonized filled the room .
Blood filled everywhere.
The door burst open and sergio and Katherine rushed.
They both froze.
Katherine eyes widened in horror as she let out a scream.
"Mummy",she cried, running to her in full speed.

she slapped the little boy which is not less than six years on his head.
"You are why my life is a mess and you don't deserve to be born, you are nothing but mistake ,I hate you"the woman screamed on top of her voice making the little boy to burst into tears.
"Mother please, please don't lock me up ,it is always dark in there please mama",the boy begged his mother but all of his pleas fell on deaf ears.
"Mama",the boy cried as he was thrown roughly into the dark cellar and the rumbling of keys followed.
She locked him there.
Till when??.
💮💮💮💮💮💮
Sniffles .
Sniffles.
Sniffles.
Another sniffles.
Then an outburst of tears.
"Oh my God, Gio,will my mommy be save ?will she die now?she can't die like this ,she is the only one I have,", katherine said as tears streamed down her cheek in a free fall.
Silence.
"Mother will be fine ,she will be fine",he mumbled to her ,but she wasn't calming down.
"You can see she was badly injured ,I can't lose her ,I can't lose my mommy",she cried .
"She is going to be fine katherine,she is strong more than you can ever imagine",he said before pulling her into a hug.
She cried in his chest, praying her worst fear to never come true.
Sergio stroked her hair softly as a way of comforting her.
What could have happened there in that room?
He felt a guilty.
A lot.
Yvonne is laying in the hospital bed and katherine is a crying mess all because of his Father.
When matt told him of getting married again to katherine's mom,he was shocked and also suspicious.
Why would he want to marry again after so many years?
He let it all slide not giving it much thought until one day.
The day he knew.
The day he found out why.
Why he was going to marry yvonne.
He was having a phone with someone,whom will give him a huge sum of money in return of getting something from yvonne.
Something that she have and he craves to have it.
He got married to her because of that thing .
Now sergio is feeling guilty.
Guilty of not telling yvonne and keeping such thing from her.
She is just an innocent woman who wants to give her child the best .
Who showed him nothing but love and care.
???
Now his father is there in her life ready to destroy it.
All because of what???.
A USB.
But he kept something as big as that from her.
He always wants to protect that man ,the man he called his father.
When his mom died ,he have to protect him and now he is still protecting him.
Why???.
The door opened and someone stepped out of it.
Both sergio and Katherine swiped their heads upward.
It is the doctor.
"Katherine",he called and she stood up hastily.
"Is my mom okay now ?can we see her",she asked worriedly and the doctor smiled lightly.
"She is alright kate,just a little cut on her head ,but it has been stitched up,right now she is asleep",he explained and katherine released a breath she never knew she was holding.
What a relief.
"Can we see her now?",katherine wanted to ask but was beaten to it by Sergio.
"Yes,just make sure not to wake her up",he advised and they nodded.
"Thank you so much Mr Giovanni",kate thanked him and he smiled before touching her hair slightly.
"It is okay my dear,just make sure to be safe and be a good child okay",he said and kate lips twitched in a smile.
"I will sir, thank you"she smiled and he nodded.
He gave her a tap on her back before leaving.
Sergio stared at them curiously.
Why are they acting as if.. they've known each other before now?
Or have they??.
"He is my dad's friend,they both worked here in this hospital", katherine said answering the question running through his mind.
"You dad....he was doctor?",he asked and she nodded.
"Yes,a neurosurgeon",she answered with a faint smile.
"Ohhhhh",he drawled.
But aren't doctors always rich?
Why is katherine and her mom living averagely?.
Even there former house wasn't a big one,just a small bungalow and the garden .
It wasn't big but very comfortable.
Well he went there once.
We have to go and see mom",Kate said jerking him out of his trance.
"Ah yes",he answered and they both walked to yvonne's ward room.
💮💮💮💮💮💮
"I'm okay katherine,it not like I hurt my legs or what",yvonne whined and she smiled.
"But you are hurt", katherine pointed out , finally helping her to the bed.
"Thanks", yvonne said immediately her buttocks kissed the bed .
Katherine sat in front of her with a plastic chair.
Yvonne frowned .
"Katherine won't you.....", yvonne was saying but kate cut her off knowing what she wants to say.
"It's okay mommy,I will be fine",she said.
"No kate ,it's been three days you and sergio haven't been going to school,why are you both so stubborn?",she sighed.
Ah,about sergio?
He went to get them something to eat.
"We can't leave you here alone",Kate said and she frowned.
"I will be fine kate, infact I am okay,and nonetheless I will be discharged in two days time",yvonne said .
"You have to go to school,I will be fine ,you guys will have miss alot of work in school", yvonne persuaded.
Silence.
"This isn't about school mom,it is about you"Kate said .
"I will be..."
"You will be fine right?,mom that is what you say everytime,I will be fine,but here you are on the hospital bed with a bandaged head",Kate said .
"Katherine....,",
"No mommy,no,what if he comes back again?what if he hurt you again?and this time worst,I won't be able to take it.
Are you just going to keep on doing this?keep on tormenting yourself and ..me, because I am always worried about you",Kate said as angry tears clouded her eyes.
Yvonne stared at her daughter emotionally.
"Why can't we just leave ?just go away ?we can be happy all by ourselves,it is not like matt is making anything easier,",kate said cried.
"Katherine,I am planning on doing that too", yvonne said .
"Then do it,leave him alone,let's go back home ,let's go back to where we belong to mom, aren't you tired ?", katherine cried .
"Katherine I am doing my best also,I will be filling a divorce soon,it is just that can't leave sergio all alone there"yvonne pointed out .
"Then he should come with us", katherine replied.
"It won't be easy kate,what if Matt isn't ready to let him go",yvonne said
"Then we will fight for it mom,I am just tired mom,I am tired", katherine said as she cried before walking out of the room.
