Tous les chapitres de The Gentleman's trap: Beast for a husband : Chapitre 51 - Chapitre 60

CHAPTER 51I took in long deep breaths and closed my legs tight, resolving in my heart to control myself and my growing desire for the man angrily staring at me. I ignored him and started taking out all my clothes from the wardrobe and throwing them into my big black box one by one. I was doing it all very fast eager to leave immediately because I feared that the more I waited, the more unsure I would about leaving.I couldn't stay back. Not now that Cletus had shown that he could take his life for me.   "You are not saying anything Miracle." Sam said when he got to my back. He held on to my shoulders and turned me around forcing me to look at him."Why are you not saying anything? Tell me that you are not going back to him after all that he has done to you?" Tell me that this is

CHAPTER 52The tension in the room could be cut by a knife. The soundlessness was only interrupted by our heartbeats.  Mine loud and anxious, his from anger.I went around the room and packed my other stuffs too while he watched. It felt like I was drowning sinking deeper and deeper into the ocean of self deceit and pain with no way to get out. Did I want to leave it all behind? Of course I did but I couldn't see a way out from where I stood.I inhaled deeply keeping myself from crying out for help.  When I was done packing I held my box and leaned on the door watching Sam as he struggled to look at anywhere in the room but at me.  "I am sorry but I have to do this." I said. He didn't reply he only stared at the wall like the answers to all his questions were written

CHAPTER 53I felt as if I was suffocating in the room. I didn't know what to think or do again.On one hand was the life of my husband who has treated me like trash time and time again and on the other hand was the happiness of me and my daughter.If things were different I would have chosen to stay if not for anything, for my daughter. But the fear that If I did Cletus might take his life put a halt to my hope of staying.  There was a huge lump in my throat now and I swallowed hard afraid to cry should I speak. The silence in the room was choking as I listened with sadness while nne cried. I wanted so much to cry too to join her in sobbing. I felt as though I was making the worst decision to ever be made by me and the worst was that I couldn't even change.Not now. I

CHAPTER 54I felt as though I was drowning in my own Car. Drowning in so many emotions that I couldn't understand nor comprehend.Nne remained silent, and I was too into my thoughts to try to cheer her up. I didn't know what my heart wanted. If it wanted to go back to Cletus or to be with Sam.My mind knew the truth that my heart did not want to accept. I could never be with Sam especially considering his family. His parents would never accept a divorcee for him who is also with a child.  I also wasn't so trusting of Sam what if he got married to me and the changes to even become worse that Cletus. "I have to start developing myself." I thought.For as long as I was reliant on the men in my life they would keep treating me the way they wanted because they

           CHAPTER 55Walking into my house felt different this time. Earlier it had just been me taking Cletus home, but now it was me coming home myself.Home? Can I even call it that?This house held a lot of bad memories for me. Memories that I would like to forget. But, in all I'm happy that my experiences have made me stronger.I was no longer as weak as I used to be. I was thankful to Sam for helping me through it all.Thoughts of him jolted me back to reality. I pushed the front door open and noticed that Nne held my hands tighter.I looked down at her and gave her my best reassuring smile. "I prom

When We got up the stairs to the room I found that Cletus was laying on the bed pretending to be asleep but we both knew that he wasn't asleep. His lashes were shaking and he had a smile on his face. I rolled my eyes finding him pretending to be asleep more amusing than annoying. I entered the room before I noticed that in the few moments where I opened the door that Nne was no longer holding my hands and she had stayed behind on the door.  "Nne come in, don't you want to see daddy?" I asked, urging her to come in. She looked at me with fear in her eyes. The intensity of the fear in her eyes caused me to tremble a little. She did come in even though her hands were shaking. I could feel her fear in me she looked like she wanted to run away. I immediately fel

When people say life is not a bed of roses I wonder why it is they do. Life can be a bed of roses, yes with little thorns, but roses all the same. I grew up in the best family and like every other family mine had it's flaws but it was still the best. I had everything I wanted when I was growing up.I was taken to the best of schools and given the best of clothes. I was spoilt along side my two elder sisters both in the States now with their own family.I came back to the country to start up my own hospital after college. It was a good choice for me, as now I'm closer to my parents something I've always wanted.I would not lie that I was scared to return though.Nigeria is not the best of places to live in, neither is it the worst of places. The challenges in the country were numerous but with money you don't get to really notice it. You see, only the poor

12| Finding the perfect man."First things first we need to make sure the rooms are of good quality and the staffs too. Over here nurses have a bad reputation ranging from being wicked to being Lazy. It's best to have a hospital free from this stereotype by employing nurses who know their jobs."Chukwuma stated. I was still in the process of staffing and he was giving me tips and whatever. I was so not interested in anything he was saying."Alright I've had about enough of this lecture just do what you have to do that's why you are paid. Interview the workers, check the rooms and do whatever needs to be done to get this hospital running ASAP." With that I left him in the conference room and went to my own office.My office had been the first to be furnished and it was just like I imagined it to be. You know with money you can bring to life your imagination. I was closing the door to my

I turned around and looked up at him  and gosh I almost fainted. My heart was beating so fast in my chest and my knees were getting weak."Thanks." That was all I could manage to get out of my shaking lips.The receptionist had a frown on her face through out the time she was packaging my clothes and then she shoved it to me rudely. She was lucky I was trying to be meek or she would have had a taste of my tongue. She's stupid to not realize who I am. The heck I could have her fired and sent to Costa Rica but I had to play nice. Sucks to be me."You can give me your number. I'll send the money back to you." I said as we both walked out of the store."It's no biggie. It's just a little sum of money. Very, very very, little." He paused. He had walked me to my car, a Lamborghini.I used to do illegal racing back in the States. Medical student by day, racer by night. Even though I stopped racin
