CHAPTER 22
The next morning, Natasha walks inside their bedroom with a tray containing breakfast. She stares briefly at Sam who still has her eyes closed.
She gently drops the tray and sits beside him. She tapes his shoulder gently and he flicks his eyes open.
'' You, cheat! You were not sleeping.'' she frowns and he chuckles
'' I was just thinking that maybe, you are still angry with me after what happened yesterday.'' he scratches his head while sitting up
She lower her gaze for some seconds before looking at him again.
'' As you can see, I'm not.'' she forces a smile
'' Well, I thought you would be.''
'' I have no reason to be. I know you are trying your best just for me. Buy I kept going back to drùgs even after everyone's warning.'' she pauses and stares at her feet
'' I'm sorry.'' she says so low but he clearly heard her
'' I think everything will be solved after this delicious breakfast here.'' he smiles grabbing the tray
'' No, Sam. I know you are stressed because of me. I know you are not reacting because of the love you have for me...''
'' I just want you to be normal again.'' he states seriously this time
'' Stop that shìt you are taking, it won't help you. It will keep damaging your mental health. And I hªte it.''
'' I promise never to touch it again.''
'' I can't count how many times you have promised me that. You look addicted, Tasha. But I don't want to leave you in an asylum but on the other hand, you are not making things easy for me. I can't imagine doing something that will hùrt you. I really want to protect you, but you are making things hard for everyone that care about you.''
'' This time, I'm for real. I will never go back to it again.''
'' Whenever you feel like taking it, remember your promise and just call me. Tell me every other things that are bothering you, I will help. You know I'm always there for you.''
'' Yes...'' she nods
Sammy stares at her for some seconds. Even though he doubts it, he really hopes that she is saying the truth this time.
He has tried everything possible to separate her from drùgs but she keeps going back to it.
He moves close to her and takes her in his arms.
'' Always keep that in mind, Tasha I will always be there for you.'' he whispers to her
Two hours later, Tasha drives out of her house. She drives in the direction of her work.
She parks the car minutes later and steps down. She walks inside the big company and her employees keep greeting her.
They all expect her not to answer like always. But surprisedly she forces a smile at everyone.
'' Good morning Ma'am.''
'' Good morning.''
'' Welcome Ma'am.''
'' Thank you.''
They all look shock and relieve at the same time. Maybe God has finally answer their prayers. The groomy and arrogant boss is becoming soft.
'' Good morning Ma'am.'' Hamaya, her personal assistant greets
'' Morning, Maya.'' she answers handing her bag to her
They both walk inside her office. She sits quietly and opens her laptop.
Hamaya made to walk out but she stops her.
'' Don't bring anything, Maya. Not now.'' she says calmly and Hamaya looks confused for some seconds
'' I was going to bring your coffee, Ma'am.''
'' No, Maya. Don't worry.''
Hamaya nods and walks out totally confused.
As Tasha stares at her laptop, some memories keep flashing through her green eyes.
°°° FLASHBACKS °°°
Tasha sits on the dinning table staring at the food nanny was busy dishing out. Becky sits opposite her and smiles at her.
Tasha looks at the kn¡fe that is carefully placed between the fruits that are on the table and picks it.
She stares at it without blinking and nanny stares at her confused while Becky drops the water she was about drinking.
'' Isn't it beautiful nanny?'' she smiles and nanny's eyes widen
'' What is beautiful Tasha?'' she asks
'' The kn¡fe of course. It's shining than it used to.''
'' What do you mean by it's shining? You are admiring a kn¡fe, Tasha. What's your problem?'' Becky asks
'' Come on, Becky it's just a kn¡fe.'' she says with her eyes pined on the kn¡fe
'' Move closer nanny.'' Becky states and nanny moves close to her
'' Are you sure this girl is mentally okay?'' she asks in a whisper
'' What do you mean?'' nanny whispers back
'' She is admiring a kn¡fe nanny. Do you think it's normal? She used a kn¡fe to k¡ll her husband she also used a kn¡fe to st@bbed Carlos because he touched her. I'm not sure we are safe with her.'' she whispers
'' Come on, Becky we all know she is okay. She is just going through a lot right now that's why she is behaving that way.'' nanny whispers and moves close to Tasha
She places the glass of water in front of her and takes the kn¡fe from her hand. She c@resses her hair gently and smiles.
'' Now eat, dear.''
'' Hand the kn¡fe back to me nanny. Did I ask you to take it?'' she takes the knìfe back and nanny also grabs it back from her
'' Eat and don't touch this thing again.'' nanny scolds and Tasha chuckles dªrkly
'' Fvcking give it back,nanny.'' she says through gritted teeth
'' And don't you dare grab it back!"
She stands and made to take the knìfe back when nanny steps back and glares hard at her.
'' Stop it Tasha! What the heck do you think you are doing? Are you planning to k¡ll us too with the kn¡fe because you now use it like a toy.'' Becky spites angrily and Tasha stares at her in shock
'' How dare you Becky?'' she balls her fist on the table and shots her a dėadly glare
'' What do you mean? You think you are a Queen and no one can speak to you or correct you, huh? You were admiring a kn¡fe with a smile plastered on your face. Do I have to remind you that you used the same object to k¡ll your husband and you used this same thing to st@b your future brother in law days ago? Have you forgotten the reason why you are here, now? Well let me remind you. You are back into this house because you represent a d@nger to them and they have to get rid of you. When Sam didn't have the courage to do it then his sister did it. Are you feeling like committing another cr¡me and that's why you were admiring the kn¡fe?''
'' Becky...did you just say all that to me?'' she asks in disbelief
'' So what will you do? Sh00t me in the head like you did to my husband.'' she asks and Tasha's eyes widen
'' Oh really... so you have the f**king gut to talk to me that way in my own house?''
'' You both stop it...'' nanny says trying to calm them down
'' What f**king husband are you even talking about? The one that sent his teen sister to the Lion's den? I think you don't remember that I can send you out of this house in a minute and you won't take anything while going. This house belongs to me and everything in it.''
'' How dare you Tasha...''
'' Just shut the f**k up! And let it be the first and last time you talk to me that way if not you won't have a roof on your head the next time. Everything you are spending belong to me and if I haven't send you out and take everything from you, it's only because I know you have nowhere to go. So watch your mouth next time if you don't want to regret your existence.''
Nanny and Becky stare at her in shock. She has never talk like that to Becky and she looks so shocked.
'' You are out of hands, Tasha. You need to stay in an asylum for complete treatment I'm telling you. You are dªngerous for everyone, especially for this house.''
She stands and leaves the living room in anger. Tasha sits back blinking back her tears.
Everything in her life is just a mess.
'' Come here, dear.''nanny whispers hugging her
'' I know you are going through bad days but don't worry everything will be okay.''
'' I'm dangerous nanny. She is right I need a therapist if not I will lost it.'' she cries
'' Come on, nanny you are like a mother to me. Take me to an asylum and when I'm okay I will come back. I can't continue hùrting people. What I'm doing is bad.'' she continues sobbing
'' Nothing is wrong with you, Tasha. You are just stressed and I'm sure everything will be okay. You have gone through a lot at your young age.'' she pattes her back
'' No nanny I know I need help. Someone should help me. I really need to be back to the way I used to be...''
'' Tasha...'' Flora calls walking inside the living room
Nahum was the one that called her yesterday when Tasha left Sam's house. She wasn't able to come yesterday.
She moves close to them and Tasha raises her head and looks at her with teary eyes.
Flora looks at her really hùrt. She has never done anything to make her sister happy.
And if she is like this today it's 50% because of her. She hugs her tightly, blinking back her tears. She can't cry in front of Tasha it will break her.
'' I'm here now, little sis nothing will happen. I will take care of everything.''
'' Take me to an asylum please.'' she sniffs and Flora disengages from the hug and stares at her in shock
'' No, Tasha I will just pay a therapist for you. Nothing else.''
'' I feel suffocated by everything...Please do as I say...Let me go and I promise I will be okay.'' she hiccups
'' No, Tasha I can't do that. You are not mentally unstable I know it. You are just...''
'' Please Flora... please... if you really love me then do as I say. Grant my wish for the first time.''
'' Tasha...''
'' No Flora I know what you will say. But it's my decision so please...''
°°° FLASHBACKS END °°°
Vanessa ruffles Tasha's hair and she gently raise her head to look at the person.
'' Nessa?!" she calls surprised before hugging her
'' Tasha, how are you doing?" Nessa smiles
'' What brings you here?" she asks disengaging from the hug
'' Her!" Nessa points at Jeddah, Sammy's personal assistant that Tasha fired
Tasha's expression change when she notices her husband's ex PA. She inhales sharply and sits back.
That means Nessa and Jeddah know themselves. That is why Jeddah knows so much about her.
'' What about her?" Tasha asks trying hard to fight her cold expression
'' She is my cousin. My aunt's daughter.'' Nessa explains
'' I thought you have no one.'' Tasha says reopening her laptop
'' I have an aunt. She is her only daughter.''
'' Hum, okay.'' she shrugs
'' So what about her?"
'' You fired me, ma'am.'' Jeddah almost yell
'' Because you were seducing my husband.''
'' Forgive her, Tasha. It won't happen again. Because of Sam's influence, she can't work in any company of the country. Please take her back and I promise she will be calm this time.''
'' She has mouth, Nessa. Let her speak!"
'' I won't beg her! Never!" Jedda says to Nessa whose eyes widen
'' Then use the door, girl.'' Tasha says calmly
'' We had an agreement before coming here, Jeddah. You said you will do as I say...''
'' Not beg someone that has nothing to offer Sam. She is just a proud bìtch who has nothing left. She has lost everything including herself.'' she scoffs arrogantly
Tasha's hands start trembling and she quickly places them on her knees.
'' We had an agreement, Jeddah. You ask for forgiveness and everything will be solved.'' Nessa says calmly and Jeddah chuckles
'' Ask for forgiveness? From someone that Ben damaged every useful things on her body? Someone that Ben deprived of everything including her pride and womb. She has nothing left, I don't even know why Sam keep choosing her over everyone.'' Jeddah states hªtefully
'' You can't walk into my office to insult me, Jeddah.''
'' She is sorry, Tasha. She doesn't mean it.'' Nessa pleads guilty before turning to Jeddah
'' I thought you said that you still wanted to have a job. You know you can never work in any company if you don't...''
'' Then I don't want to work for anyone again. I will never beg this bìtch here. Do you even see how she looks? She isn't normal anymore. Someone that three robust men f**ked hard...''
'' JEDDAH !" Nessa yells in anger
'' Use the door, Jeddah before I call the security on you.'' Tasha says with a trembling voice
'' Oh yes, I will use the door. But whenever I remember how pathetic you looked when begging for mercy because three men were f**king you hard, how pathetic you looked begging for mercy when Ben used to treat you like trash, it will keep giving me some inner peace.'' she smiles and walks out arrogantly
Nessa turns to Tasha with pleading eyes.
'' I'm sorry, Tasha. She promised me she will ask for forgiveness if I bring her here. I...''
'' Just follow her!" she points at the door and Nessa bites her lips before walking out
Tasha stares at the door for some seconds before wiping her tears. She inhales sharply and opens her handbag bringing out the white substance.
She opens the small plastic and stares at it.
Meanwhile Sam sits in his office going through some files. He suddenly stops and sighs loudly.
He relaxes on the chair as some memories rush in front of him.
°°° FLASHBACKS °°°
'' How dare you behave that way, Annabelle? You dare threaten your brother to bvrn yourself if his fiancée don't leave the house? How can you be so selfish?'' Mrs WALLIS glares hard at Anna who folds her arms under her br€asts
Mrs WALLIS came immediately she heard that Tasha left the house. She took the first flight.
Sam sits on the sofa his chin in his palm, ignoring both of them. He loves Anna and will do anything to see her happy.
But on the other hand, there is Tasha that he loves since the first day that he set his eyes on her.
He can't choose Tasha over his sister and he can't abandon her either. He can't even imagine his life without her.
'' I'm taking to you, Anna. How can you...''
'' Enough mother...'' she interrupts
'' I'm your daughter not her, so you have to support me. She st@bbed Carlos looking him straight in the eyes and you want me to let her continue living here... It's impossible.''
'' And who are you to decide if she will continue living here or not?'' she frowns and Anna scoffs
'' Are you even sure that your so call fiancé loves you? Are you sure that ¡diot you did all these for, loves you sincerely?'' she asks
'' Stop calling him names. He loves me mother. And even if he doesn't love me I don't care. My love is enough for both of us.''
Mrs WALLIS looks at her and sighs.
'' Carlos must have done something to her. I know Tasha is troubled but she can't just st@bbed him without any reason. And besides we all know that Carlos...''
'' So you mean Tasha can st@b anyone that get her angry?''
'' I didn't say that.''
'' But that is what you meant.''
'' No...''
''You must even thank me that I just told her to leave the house. I would have send her back to jail because that's the place where mvderer like her stay.''
'' I see you won't change your mind.'' Mrs WALLIS says her eyes not leaving her daughter's own
'' This house belongs to your brother. And he is the only person that can decide if Tasha will stay here or not. If you know that you can't tolerate her presence then you will have to come with me. I know what Tasha did is wrong but you also need to understand that she is going through a lot right now. And we need to support her not add to her torment. You could have just scold her or fight with her and I'm sure she will apologize but what you did was too much.''
'' I'm not going anywhere and she is not coming back here.'' she states sternly
'' You have to choose, Anna. You can't ruin your brother's relationship because of your selfishness. You're coming with me or staying here with Tasha.''
''None of that will happen mother.''
Sam stands and grabs his car keys. Anna and her mother watch as he exits the living room without uttering a word.
'' Don't push your brother to the wall, Anna. He may be gently and lovely because you are his only sister but if your attitude towards his fiancée don't change, I can assure you that you will regret it.'' she climbs the stairs
Anna scoffs and sits on the sofa.
'' She is not coming back. Sam should find another girl.'' she whispers to herself
°°° FLASHBACKS END °°°
Sam turns to his ringing phone. He smiles and quickly picks the call.
'' Hey, wifey.''
👤 '' Sam, I...'' her voice comes out shaky and Sam's eyes widen
'' Where are you?"
👤" At my office.'' she says before bursting into tears
'' Don't move. I'm coming. And please don't take anything. Please, Tasha.'' he says desperately
👤'' Yes...''
'' I'm on my way.''
