Chereads / Love At What Cost / Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5

Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5

 I wanted to open the door but I knew he was the one knocking and not anyone else.. Suddenly, my heart began to palpitate as my face was full of smiles while I fantasize about what happened few minutes..

"Oh my gosh! Did they really happened? Did we really lock lips?"... I felt goosebumps all over me as I reminisce over the moment.

I quickly grabbed a pen and a book and put down the date of that day.. a day I'd never forget in my entire life,.. he continued knocking and I summed courage to open the door

"What took you so long"? He asked 

"Do you realize I own this house and everyone who works here is accountable to me"? He asked again 

"You have no right to lock me outside any room in this building " 

"I have complete access to all rooms here, do I make myself clear"? He asked 

" I nodded in affirmation as I couldn't find the appropriate words to reply him with"

He moved closer, placed his hand on my shoulder and said, "you might find me rude but I'm only a gentleman who was hurt by a woman he entrusted everything to and because of that experience, I have trust issues towards women" 

I looked and discovered his eyes were becoming reddish and teary, I wanted to give out some words of comfort but I was unsure if he would reciprocate my kindness So I said, "Mr Acerman, may God heal your heart"

He smiled and responded, "its fine, have a pleasant night rest" he quickly stepped out the room and slammed the door behind him.. 

I laid on the bed beside his daughter, I couldn't find sleep as I pondered on what the phrase * A woman I entrusted everything to* meant

I asked rhetorical questions, "who's this woman he talks about?"

"Could it be Samantha's mum"?

"What woman would hurt such handsome man in all his magnificence "?

As I looked forward to catch some sleep, I brushed my hands on Samantha's hair with smiles and I began to fantasize being her step mum

After a while, the phrase came to my thought again *A woman I entrusted everything to*

I quickly checked my wrist watch, it 4am already..

"Oh my! Its morning already" 

I knew I needed to get some sleep immediately to avoid migraine at dawn, I'm hypertensive..

Inadequate sleep usually make my B.P to be on a very high side

I quickly dashed into the bathroom, I opened my mouth wide in awe as I saw the perfect creative work of whoever designed the bathroom walls, the tiles on the walls are exceptionally beautiful coated with fantastic colors

" This house is just mini heaven" I said as I turned on the shower to have some bath

"Water flowing down to my feet from the top of the tap, I felt like a queen"

After my long shower, I went to get some sleep with my clothes unchanged
