CHAPTER 14
They managed to sell some of the
furnitures and looked for a house to
rent. It was one roomed.
There was no furniture just a matress to
sleep on. They now used a prim stove to
cook. It had
been two days since they left Mrs Stick’s
house. Chloe’s condition hadn’t
changed.
“There is no improvement. She is
getting worse like everyday,” said the
doctor when Andrew had
visited her.
“Are you saying my daughter is going to
die?”
“All I can say is pray that we find a
donor.”
Everyday he visited her. Since he had
no job and used a bicycle to go to the
hospital. He tried
finding a job but couldn’t get one.
Early in the morning he woke up and
prepared breakfast for his son.
“Your breakfast is ready son. Why are
you dressed as if you going to herd
cattle?” he said
teasingly.
“Dad, seriously. How can you say such
thing? It’s so funny you taught me how
to fix a tie but still I
struggle a lot. Mum us..,” he stopped at
midsentence.
“Your mum used to fix it for you. I
know I miss her too. I miss her food,
smile and the way she
laughed. She was one big hell of a
person.”
“You can say that again dad. Remember
that day when we slept late watching
soccer with her,”
said Calvin smilingly trying to fix his
tie.
“Oh yes I remember. She got mad at us
when her team lost. She had to switch
off the television for us not to finish our
game,” said Andrew polishing his son’s
shoes sitting on a bucket. “A drama
queen she was.”
“Indeed she was. I can’t believe we
talking about her. But dad. Is love
always like that? After what
happened between you and mum. I am
scared to get married. Gosh this tie.”
“Let me help you with that. Seems we
need to go back to those lessons again,”
he took the tie.
“You see son. Your mum and I might
have divorced but that doesn’t mean it
will happen to you.”
He looked great in his white button
down shirt, tucked into a navy blue
trousers with black shoes.
“You know I can almost pinch myself to
make sure I am not dreaming,” he said
to his father after
he fixed his tie for him.
He nearly broke down and cried, that’s
how happy he was. His father had
bought him a new
uniform.
“Thank you, dad. You sold your laptop
just to buy me a uniform. I promise to
work hard,” he said
and hugged him.
“I am grown up please. Don’t make me
cry. You my son and I can do anything
for you. It’s such a
pity Chloe isn’t here. By the way,” he
took his wallet from his pocket. “Money
for taxi and lunch.
You don’t have to walk today.”
“No, dad. Use that to take a taxi to the
hospital.” 1 Like |
Re: If Only She Knew by Nobody: 10:54pm On Dec 13, 2018 |
“No no remember I have got a bicycle.
You take it. Mr Headmaster.”
They both laughed.
“It’s good to see you smile dad. You got
me worried that time I saw you
drinking,” he grabbed his
bag from the chair. “I hope you won’t
drink again. Anyway let me go to
school. I will see you later
big man,” he walked to the door.
“Say hie to my daughter-in law.”
“Dad!”
“What!”
He smiled at him. It made him very
happy seeing his son in a good mood.
He cleaned the room
and later cycled to the hospital. At first
it was not easy but he got used to it. It
was around eleven
when he arrived at the hospital. The
doctor allowed him to see Chloe.
Thinking that he could hold
his tears. He started crying seeing his
daughter lying on the bed. He sat on the
chair and held her
hand.
He remembered the times he used to
rock her to sleep while a lullaby toy
would be playing quietly.
He would wait until she was in a deep
sleep before putting her down. By the
time she was 13
months, not only could she sleep
comfortably out of his arms and
without feeding through her
naps.
“You would have a quick feed when we
got into the bedroom. Then roll away
and explore, play,
roll and climb,” he went on. “After a
while you would lay down and go to
sleep. One of us would
always lay down next to you.
Sometimes you would come and cuddle
up to us,” he wiped the
tears. “I miss you my princess. Daddy
miss you and guess what. I bought you
another dolly. Her
name is Sofia the first. Hang in there
my princess,” he kissed her on the
cheek.
He said a prayer and got out of the
room. He passed by the market and
bought some tomatoes
and onions. He headed back home. He
sat in the house, waiting for his son. It
was five and he hadn’t shown up. He
quickly called his class teacher.
“Mr Kasonde. My son hasn’t shown up
home. Is he still at school?” asked
Andrew worriedly.
“No, sir. We dismissed them around one
so they can have time to study,”
responded Mr Kasonde
“Ohhh. Thank you!”
He hanged up the call.
“Where is he?”
He waited for him. Hours passed. He
kept pacing up and down the room
hoping that he would
show up. His phone rang deep in his
thoughts making him jump on his feet.
It was around 10pm.
“Hello!” he quickly responded.
“Is this Mr Andrew?”
“Yes yes it is. Who is this?”
“Officer Mildred Ncube from,
Sauerstown Police station.”
“What can I do for you?”
“It is about your son.”
“What about him?” asked Andrew
nervously
“You better come to the station,” she
said and hanged up.] |

CHAPTER 15
“Drugs?!” he shouted throwing the keys
on the matress. “What were you
thinking?”
After he was found in possession of
drugs. Calvin was arrested. It was early
in the morning when
they let him out.
“I am sorry, dad,” he apologised facing
down.
“You are sorry? I had to sleep outside
the police station when they refused to
let you out because I
had no money to pay them,” he spoke
hands on his waist. “I had to beg them
to let you go. Do you
know what I did so they can let you
out?”
“No!”
“I had to clean their toilets, clean the
offices. I couldn’t let them beat you up.
You still writing your
exams. Instead of studying. You busy
selling drugs,” he spoke loudly and
angrily.
Never in his life had he been so angry
with his son. He was even shocked
being told that he was
found in possessions of drugs.
“No no officer. My son doesn’t do
drugs.”
“He is going to spend long time in jail,”
said the officer.
“Please, I beg you. I will take his place.
He is still writing his final exams.”
“When he was selling drugs. He didn’t
think about exams. Did he?”
“It was a mistake. I promise you if you
let him go. He won’t repeat the same
thing again. I will do
anything, just let my son go.”
After pleading with the officer on duty.
He decided to release Calvin early in
the morning .
Conditions that Andrew cleans the toilet
at the station.
“Where did you get those drugs?” he
asked
“I I I….”
“You what? Don’t even dare try to lie to
me.”
“Uncle Kuda, gave it to me.”
“Kuda! What the hell were you doing
with him? How long have you been
doing this?”
“It was just yesterday. It was my first
time. I wanted to give you something.
Only I was happy that
you bought me a new uniform. Words
were not enough so I wanted to buy a
gift. I was very
desperate and I needed the money,” he
wiped the tears.
Andrew didn’t say anything and hugged
his son.
“My poor boy. You don’t need to buy
me gifts sonny. Make me happy and
proud by passing. I want
you to be a good man. Never get
involved with bad people. Selling drugs
and taking alcohol,” he
kissed him on the forehead. “I forgive
you but you grounded. After school
come straight home and
study. Are we together?”
He smiled at him.
“Yes, sir. I was scared that you were
going to beat me up.”
“No no I know you are a very good kid.
I will never lay hands on my children. I
talk to them nicely
with no violence. Anyway I need to go
somewhere. Money for bread Its in my
wallet,” he took his
hat. “I will see you later.”
“Okay, dad.”
He walked out of the house, took his
bicycle. He needed to go and see him.
After two hours
cycling. He reached his house. He
barged in without knocking. He was
sitting on the sofa puffing
up smoke.
“What the h…!” he stopped at
midsentence after Andrew pulled him
to his feet, almost tearing his
collar.
He punched him on the face.
“What the hell man? Are you crazy?”
“Yes I am,” he clenched his fist. “I am so
mad at you right now Kuda. What is
wrong with you?
Calvin is 16 years old and you giving
him drugs to sell.”
Kuda burst out laughing. This made
Andrew angry even more. He made
step close to him and hit
him in the stomach. 1 Like |

Kuda burst out laughing. This made
Andrew angry even more. He made
step close to him and hit
him in the stomach.
Later they had sat down together.
Andrew handed the ice to Kuda.
“Thanks! When did you learn boxing?”
“Movies!” responded Andrew. “I am
sorry man for punching you.”
“I deserved it. I don’t know what got
into me. I wish I had a son also. You are
a good father
Andrew. I am proud of you and salute
you,” said Kuda.
“You can be a good father as well. It
doesn’t suit you to be a drug dealer.
There is so much you
can do out there without having the
police on your back.”
“I guess you right but this is my way of
making money. You know I didn’t do
well at school.”
“You can do something else. Anyway
man I have to get going. I am so tired. I
slept at the station
and now I have to go and visit my
daughter at the hospital,” he sat up.
“I am sorry about your daughter. I will
come and visit her,” he said walking
him to the door. “A
bicycle! “What about it?”
“Hmmm nothing. Nice car you got.”
They both laughed.
“Crazy you. Let me drive I mean cycle,”
said Andrew.
“Close the windows,” said Kuda
laughingly.
“I will get you one day Kuda aka
Buffaro or is it Buffalo.”
He later cycled heading back home.
Even though Kuda was a gangster.
Andrew still saw him as
his friend. He just wanted his friend to
leave the criminal life. He knew it
would end up bad for him.
He was cycling when he noticed a
woman on the other side of the road
standing by her car. He
passed by her but later went back.
“Are you okay madam?” he asked
getting close to her.
“No! It’s this car!” she kicked the tyre.
“Be careful not to break your leg. What
happened?”
“I am having problems starting the
engine. I parked so I could answer a
phone call and now it
does not want to start. I am late for a
meeting. I have investors coming from
Canada and if I lose
this deal. My dad will kill me,” she said
with a worried look on his face.
“Let me see what is wrong,” he said
opening the car hood. 1 Like |

“The vehicle is completely
fine other than a battery
that’s acting up,” he said
closing the car hood.
“Really?”
“Yes! Car batteries are probably the
most volatile component in the car
and it doesn’t take much
for them to go bad. They only have a
shelf life of few years and they will
die quicker because of
things like disuse, corrosion and
faulty connections,” he picked his
bicycle. “Just make sure you
get a good quality battery and make
sure you keep your ports clean from
corrosion and firmly
connected. You can go and start the
car now.”
“Okay!” she responded
She got inside the car and started it.
“Oh my goodness!” she exclaimed
getting out. “Thank you very much. It
worked. I don’t know how
you did it. You sure are a good
mechanic. I will think about buying a
new battery or another car,”
she said smilingly.
“You better get going.”
“Oh yes. Wait,” she took her purse.
“Thank you,” she handed him the
money.
“Oh no no no madam. You don’t
need to pay me.”
“Please take it.”
“No, I can’t take it.”
His phone rang and it was Kuda.
“What is it again?”
“Geez man. I have a friend of mine
who is a manager at a hotel. He
needs a security guard,” said Kuda.
“When?”
“Today. I will come and pick you up
at your house around five.”
“Okay, no problem. See you later
then,” he hanged up. “Sorry, a
friend,” his eyes on her.
“No, it’s okay.”
“I better get going madam. So long,”
he got on his bike and left the lady.
She watched him as he cycled. She
got inside the car and drove off . She
parked the car at the
garage, entered the office running.
“Miss Shania!” called out the
secretary.
“Not now Faith. I am late. Are they
in?”
“They called, meeting postponed,”
she said trailing behind.
“After my hard work,” she opened the
door. “What was the reason?” she
sat on the chair.
“Well Mr Aaron isn’t feeling well.”
“That old man, aways sick.”
Faith laughed.
“What are you laughing at?”
“Sorry, Miss.”
“Could you bring me a cup of coffee
please. I need to call my dad if you
will excuse me,” she said
grabbing her phone on the table.
“Okay!”
She dialled his number.
“Dad!”
“My princess!”
“The old man is sick again. They had
to postpone the meeting.”
“Well. I have some good news for
you,” he said.
“Whats that?”
“The Minister’s son. I have invited
him for dinner at our hotel. He is
coming. So I was ho…”
“Hoping that I will come and meet
him,” he cut him short. “No problem
and just as you know Mr
Steve Johnson. That dude is not my
type.”
“I know but get to know him first.”
“Okay. I will come even though I
don’t like him. He is so not my type.
Far from being the perfect
guy”
“Okay, bye. I love you.”
“Me too dad!”
It was around 7pm when the driver
parked the limo at the hotel. She
walked inside dressed in a
black mini dress. She looked divine.
He looked at her and smiled.
“If it isn’t Miss Shania,” he said
getting up and gave her a hug.
He pulled the chair for her and she
sat down. Sitting on the table was her
father, step mother, the
minister and his wife and son. A
waiter stepped forward, offering a
glass of champagne and
Shania took it. They ate and their
parents left leaving the two all alone.
“Your hotel is beautiful,” he said as
they entered one of the rooms.
“Thanks. I usually sleep here,” she
said sitting on the bed.
She sat next to him but could feel her
watching him.
“You sleep here and I will go and
sleep in another room,” she said
grabbing her bag.
She was about to walk to the door
when he grabbed her hand and
pulled her close to his chest.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Where are you going? Are we not
going to share the bed?”
“What!”
“Come on Shania. Stop pretending. I
know you want me.”
Shania burst out laughing.
“Want you? What makes you think
that? Listen Roy. We might have
attended the same University.
Our dads are like best friends but you
not my type. I know you being a
player. You think you
deserve me,” she said.
He inhaled deeply.
“I have changed now and sooner or
later. You going to be my wife,” he
pushed her against the
wall.
“Stop! You hurting me.”
“If you think our parents went home
leaving us alone to talk. You going to
wish you had gone with
daddy. Daddy’s little girl.”
“You are drunk!”
“I had cocaine.”
He looked at her lips, full and
kissable. Fire leapt to life deep within
him, a ferocious burning need
to take to take her straight to his bed.
He pushed her on the bed and forgot
to lock the door. He
removed his belt.
“I want you Shani. D–n girl I have
always wanted you. Your drive me
insane,” he started kissing
her holding her hands tightly.
“Stop it!” she shouted.
She tried fighting but he had more
power than her. He ripped his dress
off leaving her in a lingerie.
“Please, don’t do this,” she pleaded
“I can’t. I want you.”
He strong armed her in a real way.
He physically wanted to force himself
on her, when he barged
in the room.
“Hey!” he shouted knocking him
down with a punch. He lay on the
floor unconscious. “Are you
okay?” he asked Shania, who lay on
the bed. SOURCE: www.emperorblog.com.ng/if-only-she-knew-part-17/ 1 Like |

CHAPTER 17
“Take me home please,” said
the terrified Shania tears streaming
down on her face.
He took his jacket and gave it to her.
He walked out of the room, his hands
on her shoulders.
“Ohhh wait for me here,” said Andy.
“Where are you going? “I don’t have
a car so I am going to take the
gentleman’s car keys. I am sure he
won’t mind if I take
his car.”
“Let’s go back together.”
“Okay if you say so,” he held her
hand.
They went back to the room and Roy
was still lying on the floor.
“Is he not dead?” asked Shania
wiping the tears.
“No, he is taking a nap. He had too
much to drink. He will be fine,” he
searched his pocket
trousers and took the keys. “Let’s
go.”
“Wait!”
Shania kicked Roy on the stomach.
“Idiot! Fool!”
Andrew just smiled.
“That was a good kick,” he said as
they headed to the exit door.
The car was parked at the front of the
hotel. He opened the car door for her.
“Thank you for saving my life in
there.”
“You welcome madam,” his eyes
fixed on the road.
“How did you know I was in there?
Ohh sorry. You wearing a uniform.”
“Yes, security guard. Manager
advised me to check the rooms. That
is when I heard screams. I
wanted to go back and call him but
then I thought. What if it’s a killer? I
took a deep breath and
yanked the door open. That is when I
f…,” he stopped at midsentence and
looked at her. “Some
men are dogs. He deserve to be
thrown in jail.”
She smiled.
“Me calling men dogs. It sure made
you smile right.”
“Not exactly,” she said laughingly.
They talked and laughed until they
reached Shania’s house. He drove
the car inside, parked it. He
opened the car door for her. They
walked inside the house.
“What happened to you?” asked her
father.
“That idiot son of a Minister tried to
rape me,” she sat down.
“Young man. Take a sit,” he offered.
“Thank you, sir.”
He sat beside his daughter.
“Tell me what happened?”
Shania explained everything that had
transpired to her father.
“D–n him!” he shouted banging his
fist on the table. “I should have
known that’s what he was up
to. I am very sorry, my princess. He
will pay for what he did to you.”
“No, just let it go. I need to go and
take a bath,” she said getting up
leaving Andrew with his father.
He stood up and walked to the bar
area. He poured a glass of wine.
“Wine?”
“No, sir. Thank you.”
“So. You my daughter’s superman?”
He raised a brow, and a slight smile
teased at the corner of his lips. “No
need to feel nervous. Thank you very
much for what you did. It’s all my
fault,” he
looked steadily at him. “Trying to
hook up my daughter with someone I,
myself hardly know,” he
took a sip. “What a bad father I am.
Look now I left my daughter with a
criminal. I will surely win an
award of being the worst or bad
father of the year.”
“You don’t have to blame yourself,
sir. You didn’t know things were
going to turn out this way. We
all want whats best for our children.
Miss is a grown up woman now. I
think it will be best if you let
her make her own decisions. In that
way you won’t blame yourself for her
mistakes. She is a good
woman,” said Andrew.
“I guess you right. Wise words young
man. I should take your advise, let
her be. Shania can be
stubborn sometimes. But what you
said it really make sense,” he took a
sip and placed the glass
on the table.
“I better get going. My son will soon
worry of my whereabouts. I have to
go back with the
gentleman’s car.”
“No need for that. I will ask my driver
to drive it back. He will take you
home. Thank you once
again. I didn’t get your name.”
“It’s Andrew, sir.”
“I see.You work at my hotel,” he said
walking him to the door. “Have a safe
drive.”
The driver took him at his house.
Upon arrival Calvin was still awake
studying.
The next following day Andrew spent
the day washing his clothes and his
son’s. He cleaned the
house and since he was on night
duty. He spent the day at his house.
Calvin came back from
school
“I am going to work,” said Andrew at
around 7pm. “Lock the door before
you go to sleep.”
“Okay, dad.”
He was about to open the door when
his phone rang.
“Hello!” he responded.
“It’s doctor Susan. You need to come
to the hospital. It’s about your
daughter.”
“What happened to her?”
“It’s best you come, sir.”
She hanged up.
“Calvin. Take your jacket now. We
going to the hospital. Something is
wrong with your sister. They
couldn’t tell me what it is.”
They got out of the house and took a
taxi to the hospital. It dropped them
off. He ran inside the
hospital with his son trailing behind.
“What happened to my princess?”
“We found a donor,” said the doctor
in her office.
“But?”
“You need to pay the money for the
operation so it can be carried out
tomorrow.”
“I have half of it. Can’t you do the
operation then I will pay later.”
“We cannot do that sir. Please
excuse me. I have a patient to attend
to. ”
He walked out of the office. Hours
passed as he sat on the bench with
his son waiting to talk to the
door, beg her. “What are you doing
here?” she asked
He looked at her surprised to see her.

CHAPTER 18
Gazing at her now, she stood
before him in a white dress.
“I came to see my daughter. May I
ask the same question?”
“No need to,” she smiled. “I was…,”
her eyes on Calvin.
“Where my manners? This is my son,
Calvin.”
Calvin stood up.
“Nice to meet you ma’am.”
“Oh please. Call me Shania. You look
alike with your dad.”
“My dad is ugly and I am more
handsome,” said Calvin.
“Calvin. I will beat you up.”
“He is so funny. Can I sit with you
two?”
“Yes. Why not?” replied Calvin.
Shania sat beside Andrew.
“Well my dad had invited you to join
us for dinner tonight. I had come to
pick you up at the hotel.
Mario told me you didn’t show up.
You had an emergency to attend to.
He mentioned the name of
hospital that is why I came here. I
thought maybe you were not feeling
well but I can see you fit,”
she explained.
“It’s my daughter. Calvin can you
excuse us. I need to talk to Miss
Shania alone. Don’t go outside
it’s dark.”
“Okay, dad.”
He waited for his son to leave before
continuing with his story.
“As I was saying, my daughter is in
this hospital. Admitted, heart failure.
They found the donor but
will not do the operation if I don’t pay
the full amount. I want to try to beg
the doctor. I can’t lose my
daughter. I love her more than
anything in this world. I would even
die for her,” he pressed. “I don’t
know what to do.”
She looked up at him, her eyes
shining with tears. She swallowed
past the tightness in her throat.
“You know I would just put a bullet
through to my head so they can give
her my heart. She is too
young to die. If she leaves me now I
will never be able to live with myself.
I would blame myself
forever for not trying to save her life,”
he paused.
“Let me help you,” she spoke holding
her hand. “I will pay for the operation.
I owe you with my life.
You saved me twice and I will be a
bad person if I let you suffer when I
am here.”
“No, Miss. You don’t have to. This is
my problem but not yours. You really
don’t need to do this.
Me telling you this it’s because I have
seen that you a good person. I really
needed someone to
talk to but not help me.”
“Come on Andrew. I want to help
you. I don’t have kids but I have seen
how much you love your
daughter. I will help you as a friend.
Let me help you. Okay? “I promise to
pay you back. I promise to pay every
cent,” he knelt down.
“No no no don’t please,” she helped
him sit.
“Let me kneel. You are a very kind
person. One in a zillion. I didn’t know
whom I was going to call
to help me. It’s like I was stranded.
Thank you very much.”
“It’s okay. You don’t have to thank
me that much. I will talk to the doctor.
I have my uncle who is a
surgeon. I will ask him to come over
here.”
“Thank you once again.”
Later Shania talked to the doctor.
She agreed that her uncle can come
and do the operation on
Chloe.
“Since the operation is being carried
out tomorrow. Why don’t I drive you
to my house with your
son. So that we will come back
together tomorrow. It’s already late
and all taxi are gone,” she said
walking out of the doctor’s office.
“A very good idea,” jumped in Calvin.
“Calvin!”
“Dad! Really? Maybe you want us to
take her at our one roomed house.
Where would she sleep.
Let’s go to her house,” he said
holding Shania’s hand.
“Okay, fine.”
“Yes! Auntie Shania. Thank you!”
said Calvin
“You welcome,” she said smilingly.
They got into the car and drove off at
her house. It was a big house. She
cooked for them and they
ate. Calvin helped Shania with the
dishes while Andrew took a bath.
Early in the morning they had
breakfast and prepared to go at the
hospital.
“We need to pray first,” said Andrew
as they were about to walk out of the
house.
They prayed for about thirty minutes
and later drove to the hospital. They
sat in the waiting room.
The nurses running up and down
made Andrew nervous. It was
nervous wait. Hours passed but
no surgeon or doctor came out.
Andrew kept pacing up and down in
the waiting room.
“She will be alright,” said Shania
holding his hand.
“I am very nervous. Why can’t one of
them come out?”
“They will.”
Shania tried talking to him but it was
for a few minutes. Seconds, minutes
and hours passed but
they hadn’t come out. Finally the
surgeon came out. He put on a sad
look on his face. It was
Shania’s uncle.
“It went well,” and he smiled.
Andrew got excited that she lifted up
Shania and his son.
“Thank you God! Can I see her?”
“Later. But there is nothing to worry
about. She is in good hands. We
thank the Lord,” said the
surgeon.
The nurses and doctor decided to
medicate her to calm down as she
had woken up way too
quickly from her anaesthetic. She
was still heavily medicated and was
sleeping on and off for most
of the day and everning. Two nights
passed and Shania took her to his
house and found a doctor
for her. Chloe used to wake up most
every two hours making sure that
Shania was there. Shania would
sleep beside her. While Chloe would
go back to sleep cuddling her teddy
bear. Shania
became fond of her.

IF ONLY SHE KNEW
PART 19 Been a week since Chloe was discharged from hospital. She had been staying with Shania all along. She walked down the stairs with a sad look on her face folding her arms. “Auntie Shania. I don’t want to go with dad. It’s so boring living with both of them. Can’t I stay here with you,” she held her hand. “Please. Daddy?” “I also don’t want you to go my princess. Can she stay another week Andrew? Seriously I will be bored if she leaves..” Andrew looked at Calvin and he nodded. “Okay. You will stay here with Auntie Shania,” said Andrew. “Thank you daddy,” she hugged him. “Well, we better get going Calvin. It seems Miss Chloe is not coming with us.” “Actually, my dad is coming over for dinner. I was hoping you two will join us. I hope you don’t mind,” said Shania. “Thank goodness! What a relief. I didn’t want to leave this place. If dad is not staying he can leave. As for me I would really love to join you for dinner,” spoke Calvin. “Ohh Calvin. You really know how to make my day. You very funny. The Kelvin Hart type,” laughed Shania. “We will join you,” responded Andrew They sat in the loudge watching television. It was around 6pm when Shania started preparing for dinner. She was alone in the kitchen when Andrew walked in. “I thought I could come in and give you a hand,” he said “Ohh it’s you. You scared me up. My mind is in the pot,” she said smilingly. “You can wash your hands, peel the potatoes and make the salad. Is that okay?” “Yes!” Andrew washed his hands and started peeling the tomatoes. “Andrew!” “Huh!” “You never talk about your wife,” she said her eyes on the pot. “She left me for another man. We got divorced.” “I am sorry.” “No, it’s okay. Should I cut the potatoes into pieces?” “Yes, but not too big. I still need to roast this chicken.” “I can roast it for you,” said Andrew. “You know how to?” “Yes,” he smiled. “I am a man of so many talents. After boiling the chicken pieces for 8-10 minutes. He dried it and dipped in a beaten egg. He coast chicken pieces well with Robertson Gold ‘n’ Crispy coating. He fried until it was a golden brown. “Wow!” exclaimed Shania. “It taste delicious. You did it better than I. Actually this is good. How did you learn all of this?” “Googling!” “You so funny!” They stared for a while. “Aaaah,” he cleared his throat. “Grandpa is here,” said Calvin “Okay, coming,” replied Shania They walked to the lounge and greeted her father. Later on she set the dinner table with the help of Chloe and her step mother. They sat on the table and said grace. “Divine! Shania didn’t cook this,” said her father. “This is delicious.” “Dad. Thanks to Andrew.” “Even I would never roast a chicken like this. This is good,” said her step mother. They finished eating and sat in the loudge. Chloe and Calvin made them all laugh with their jokes. We often wonder, where happiness starts. The journey usually begins, in our individual hearts. Each one of us possesses happiness ownview. We must stick to our values. In the mirror we must be true. Spending time with others, who we love and deeply care. It’s these simple moments in time, everyday we would love to share. All the fortunes in this world, shall not make our spirits sing. It’s amazing how much joy, a baby’s laughter seems to bring. Andrew wiped a tear seeing how happy Chloe was with Shania. He watched them as they washed dishes in the kitchen. Shania’s father had already left with his wife. He never thought he was going to spend another day with his daughter. But there she was having the time of her life. “Happiness comes now and then, we cannot be sure just when, but when it’s there, enjoy each hour,” he went on. “Because happiness has such power, joy to you it will bring. Even mak..” “Make someone else sing. What peace of mind happiness can show, he cut him short and continued. “Making you and others glow, nurture it makes it last. Forget the troubles of the past. Never fear that it will go for it could always grow and then tomorrow you will be happy,” he paused. “I wouldn’t mind if she becomes my mother. She is a good woman dad,” said Calvin. “Did you really had to cut me short?” “I thought you needed some help to finish the sentence. See you were disturbing me. I am watching my movie and you busy watching Auntie Shania and Chloe, while talking to yourself at the same time.” “Its called meditating, sonny.” “Oh please, dad,” said Calvin with a laugh. “What are you two talking about?” asked Shania as she walked in with dessert. “I have got dessert with me here. Ice cream, strawberry and chocolate flavours.” “I am eating with Auntie Shania,” said Chloe. “Me too,” said Calvin. “Dad you on your own.” “Me three. Guess will have to eat together as a f..,” stopped Andrew. “As a family,” said Shania smilingly. “Come sit next to me, my princess. “But Auntie Come on. You should be feeding me,” said Calvin. They all laughed at him. SOURCE: www.emperorblog.com.ng/if-only-she-knew/ |

CHAPTER 20
After two months.
“Florence, I am going home.”
“Okay, madam. Boss is still in
Bostwana?”
“Yes, but he is coming back today,”
replied Emily. “I will see you
tomorrow.”
Things had been going on well
between her and Max. He had gone
to Botswana on a business
trip. She walked to the garage and
was about to open the door.
“Are you Emily?” she asked wearing
a long black dress and a black veil
covering her hair.
Emily stared at her, heart pounding
really fast.
“Ye ye yes,” she stammered moving
backwards. “Who are you?”
“Don’t marry him. He is not what you
think he is. He will soon show you his
true colours. Leave
him or you will die,” she said
trembling. “You will die.”
“You are crazy.”
“No, I am not crazy. Run Emily, never
look back,” she warned and ran.
“Wait! Stop!” shouted Emily following
but she couldn’t catch up with her.
“Madam! Are you okay?” asked the
security guard.
“Did you see a woman wearing a
black dress, covered her hair with a
black veil?” asked Emily.
“No, madam. It’s just you and me.”
“You didn’t see her?”
“No!”
She was confused and even thought
she was hallucinating. She went back
to her car and opened
the door. She got inside and locked
the doors. She kept looking through
the window hoping to see
the woman. She started her car and
drove home since Max was coming
back. She parked the car
and got inside the house. She
headed to the bathroom and took a
breath before starting to
prepare for dinner. She was about to
roast her chicken when her phone
rang. She just answered
without checking who it was.
“Hello!” she responded.
“Run Emily. Never look back. Run for
your life. He will hurt you Emily.”
The voice sounded scary.
“Who is this? Hello! Hello!.”
She sat on the chair in the kitchen
biting her nails. She couldn’t call
back because it was a private
number. A knock on the door
disrupted her thoughts, afraid to go
and open. She ran upstairs and
locked herself in her room. She
waited for a few minutes and heard
Max’s voice calling out her
name. She took a deep breath and
opened the door. She ran in his arms.
“Okay. I guess you missed me right?”
“Yes, I did. I am glad you home. This
house is so big. I was scared,” said
Emily “Let me go and take a bath.
We will talk later,” said Max heading
to the bathroom.
Emily set the dinner table. They had
dinner together and later went to their
room. She tried
sleeping but could not thinking about
the woman she had met at the
garage. She got off the bed
and went to sit in the loudge. She
was watching a movie, ‘War Room’.
When her phone rang
again, it was around 10pm. She
jumped on her feet and moved
distance away from the phone. It
didn’t stop ringing. Max walked
downstairs and took the phone.
“Whats wrong Emily?” he asked
getting close to her.
“Who was calling?”
“It’s an alarm. It wasn’t a call. Are
you okay?”
“I am fine. Let’s go to sleep,” she
said holding his hand.
There was a bang at the door and
she screamed in terror. Max looked at
her. Wondering why his
fiancee was acting weird. He was
about to walk to the door when she
stopped him.
“No! Don’t go!”
“What is happening to you Emily?
You acting weird,” he said and went
to open the door. “It’s the
dog. See, there is nothing.”
She took a deep breath and
swallowed hard. They went back to
sleep but still Emily didn’t seem to
get any eye shut.
Early in the morning, she woke up
feeling dizzy. She kept running up
and down to the bathroom. It
was for the fifth time when Max
noticed her.
“Are you okay?” he asked
concerned.
“No, I feel sick,” she lay on the bed.
“Do you want me to take you at the
hospital?”
“No, you go to work. I will go later at
the hospital,” she said covering
herself with a sheet.
“Okay. Call me if it gets worse.”
He grabbed his car keys and walked
out of the room. At around 10am. She
got up from the bed
and took a bath. She had booked an
appointment with her doctor. She
needed to found out what
was wrong with her. Walked out of
the house and got into her car. Drove
it to the hospital, parked
it outside. Walked in and went
straight to the doctor’s office.
Knocked on the door and he
responded. Got inside and offered
her a sit. He took her blood and she
sat in the waiting room
waiting for the results. Hours passed
and was called back in the office.
“You are pregnant! Congratulations!”
said the doctor.
“What?!” she exclaimed.
She remembered that she had
stopped taking her pills. It was not
good news to her since Max had
told her that he didn’t want a baby.
He didn’t want to be a father. She
walked out of the hospital
feeling weak. She had no idea how
she was going to explain the
pregnancy thing to Max.
“Take your pills everyday. I don’t
want you to fall pregnant,” she
remembered him seeing.
She opened her car door and sat.
“Drive!” she commanded . “Don’t look
back, drive the car.”
“Who are you? Are you the one who
have been calling me? What do you
want from me?”
“Dammit Emily! Drive the car. I will
tell you when to stop. Now!”
She started the car trembling. SOURCE: www.emperorblog.com.ng |

CHAPTER 21
“We going to the graveyard?”
asked Emily, as she took a turn to
West Park cemetery.
“Just drive. Park the car under that
tree,” she ordered.
Emily did as per told. She parked the
car under the tree. They stepped out
of the vehicle. The
woman was still wearing her black
dress and a black veil covering her
hair.
“Follow me,” she instructed.
Emily trailled behind. She broke into
a sweat and her pulse raced. She
was shaking like a leaf, her
stomach churning. She stopped and
placed the flowers on a tombstone.
“Here, lay my older brother, Craig. It
was just the two of us. Our parents
died in a car accident,”
she went on. “I was very rich when I
married Max. I put everything that my
parents left for me in
his name, including the company and
the mansion. I trusted him with my life
and everything I had,”
she wiped the tears.
“I thought you were dead and you
cheated on him with his best friend,”
said Emily.
“What?! Is that what he told you? He
tried to kill me, Yes. But I managed to
dodge the bullet. I
didn’t cheat on him. He used to
abuse me. When my brother found
out he killed his parents. He
wanted me to leave Max but I ignored
him,” she paused. “I was blinded by
love and for once I
thought my brother hated Max but No.
He was trying to protect me from him.
I didn’t believe it that
Max killed his parents. When I
confronted him together with my
brother. He confessed on killing
his parents and burning them inside
the house. After telling the truth he
shot Craig. His cousin
brother, Billy arrived later. When he
walked inside the house my brother
was already dead. Max
lied to him and said I was cheating
with my brother, since Billy didn’t
know Craig. I was shocked
and at the same time confused. I
managed to escape and I went to
Canada.”
“No no Max is not a killer.”
“I used to say that Emily. I saw his
true colours when he killed my
brother right in front of me. But
before that like I said it before. He
used to beat me up every night and
locking me in the garage.
When he found out that I was
pregnant. He made sure I had a
miscarriage. He put poison in my
food. I was admitted for a month. He
paid the doctor to fake the results of
my miscarriage,” she got
close to her and held her hand.
“Listen to me very carefully. Leave
that man. He is a psychopath,
a maniac, he is mad and crazy. He is
a serial killer. He is handsome on the
outside but inside he is
the devil’s twin.” READ OTHER EPISODE HERE www.emperorblog.com.ng |
Re: If Only She Knew by Nobody: 6:29am On Dec 27, 2018 |
IF ONLY SHE KNEE PART 22 It was hard for Emily to believe what the woman had said to her. “What is your name? How did you find me? How did you know I was the woman Max was going to marry?” asked Emily with a hint of confusion in her voice. “I am still talking to Billy’s wife. My name is Selena. Helena, Billy’s wife is the one who told me about you. She got your phone number from her husband’s phone.” Emily almost collapsed when Selena held her hand. “Are you okay? Wait! You are pregnant?” Emily didn’t answer the question. She needed space. Time to think, she wanted to be alone. It was too much for her. Max had never laid his hands on her. Was this woman, standing beside her lying? Did she love Max? Was she jealous of Emily? The thoughts raced into her head. She dragged in a deep breath and looked at her. Her heart beat was rising. She looked directly into her eyes. The dark depths of her eyes seeming to search hers as if looking into her soul. She needed to go home and think. Once she was away from her she could think of other options, but she couldnt do any of that. She didn’t believe all that Selena had told her. “I have to go home,” she finally spoke. “Okay, but please don’t tell him that we met. Whatever I told you keep it to yourself,” said Selena. Emily started heading towards the car. “Emily!” called out Selena. “Be care f…,” she stopped at midsentence and fell down on the ground. Emily looked around and saw a black car driving off. When you nervous your body is on high alert. Your heart beats faster, your blood pressure rises. Selena was still quivering when Emily got close to her. “Selena! Don’t leave me please,” said Emily in between sobs holding Selena’s hand. “Yo you sh……,” she looked at Emily and smiled. Emily saw the light go out of her eyes. The level of horror at the situation seemed to directly increase her ability to act outside of her feelings. “I am sorry, Selena,” she said and called the cops using a private number. She got into the car and drove off at home. Tears streaming down on her face. She parked the car and went straight to bed. Late that night Max sent a message saying, he wasn’t coming back home. That night a blacklog of deferred emotion fell on Emily. She went to bed shivering, crying and fearing for her life. Selena had died and what if Max was behind the hit. She tried sleeping but could not. She wanted to run away from Max. She immediately got up from the bed and started packing her clothes. Suddenly someone opened the door. “Where are you going sweetheart? Are you running away from me?” he asked. SOURCE: www.emperorblog.com.ng |

God is awesome. You saw someone did something unpardonable and started wishing that the person should regret it, if possible, to pay with her/his life. Then time come to face the music, then you started pitying the person and wishing if the hand of the clock can be manipulated. Only someone with forgiving spirit can understand the feeling. Ride on OP, you are doing a tenderful job. |

CHAPTER 22
“No! I was bored and couldn’t sleep.
I decided to put some of my clothes in
the suitcase,” she lied.
He smiled and sat on the bed. He
removed his gun and placed it on the
suitcase. He lighten up his
cigar and started smoking in the
room.
Puffing up smoke while staring at her.
“I have just received some bad news.
Do you want to know what
happened?”
She nodded.
“My ex wife was killed today. The last
person who was seen with her is
other than Emily, my wife
to be,” he put the cigar in his mouth.
She froze in place as the feeling of
terror ran through her body.
Emotional brain had already
begun to respond along paths. She
looked at the door which was
opened.
“Don’t even think about it,” his voice
deep and harsh. The slower but more
thoughtful path caused her to feel
afraid. She began analysing her
situation,
creating alternative responses.
“You need to tell me everything. How
you met Selena?” he got up from the
bed and made a step
close to her. “Look, I know she came
to you. I understand why you agreed
to meet her. You didn’t
really have a choice. If I was in your
shoes, I would probably have done
the same thing, going to
meet my fiancee’s ex wife,” he paid
attention to the eye contact that Emily
maintained with him.
She jumped in and corrected.
“No. I saw her in my car and she had
been calling me for days..
“I see,” he looked directly into his
eyes. He put his hands on her
shoulders. “You know I never
liked Craig but I loved my wife,
Selena.”
“You hurting me,” she mattered under
her breath.
“This is just a little massage,” he said
strangling her with such force.
“Dammit Emily!” he slapped
her hard on the cheek. “I hate being
betrayed. I knew something was
wrong with you since
yesterday. The minute you drove out
from the house I followed you. You
went to the hospital and
found out that you were pregnant. I
followed you as well when you drove
at the cemetery,” he said
angrily.
She coughed lying on the floor.
“I should have killed her when I had
the chance. Why did she come back
in our lives? You see
now she has complicated things
between us. May her soul rest in
peace,” he took a knife under
the bed. “This is the knife that I used
to murder my parents. I never liked
my step mother. She
treated me badly after my mother
died. Dad started ignoring me. To him
I wasn’t a son but a
demon. You wanna know why I was
a demon?” he gazed at her. “Let me
help you sit on the bed.
You bleeding? You will be fine,” he
helped her to sit on the bed. “Where
was I? Okay. You see I
never had friends at school even at
home. I was always locked up in my
room and I could hear
many voices talking to me. When I
killed my parents I was angry. I
realised what I had done when
the house was in flames. That is
when I knew something was wrong
with me. They took me at a
Mental Hospital because I had a
mentall illness. I killed the nurse on
duty and ran away,” he
laughed. “It was easy. I still
remember when she tried running
away from me. She was fat. Poor
thing she couldn’t run a long
distance. May her soul rest in peace,”
he stood up from the bed.
“My baby,” she muttered touching her
stomach.
“You will not die but the baby will,” he
walked out of the room and locked
the door.
She lay on the floor bleeding. She
screamed in pain but Max had raised
the radio volume. He
ignored her. He called the doctor
early in the morning and went to
unlock the door before he
arrived. The doctor arrived later.
“My wife. I found her early this
morning covered in blood. Please
save her.”
“Her pulse is weak. She have lost a
lot of blood from the bleeding. We
need to take her to the
hospital,” said the doctor after
checking Emily’s pulse.
Max carried her to his car and drove
to the hospital. Upon arrival, she was
put on the stretch. He
waited for hours sitting on the bench.
“I am sorry but she had a
miscarriage,” said the doctor later.
“Oh no. Can I see her? “Yes, this
way please,” he led the way.
Emily was still unconcious when he
walked in the room. He sat on the
bed and held her hand.
“I am glad you lost the baby. I am so
happy right now. I told you never to
fall pregnant Emily. I am
coming back. I need to go and get
you something to eat,” he got up and
walked out of the room.
Emily quickly opened her eyes. She
needed to run away.
“Wait! What are you doing?!”
exclaimed the nurse who just walked
inside the room.
“Discharging my self. Please, help
me. I need to get away from him. He
killed my baby. He will
ki..,” she stopped at midsentence
when she saw Max standing at the
door. SOURCE: www.emperorblog.com.ng/if-only-she-knew-part-22/ |

IF ONLY SHE KNEW PART 23
He walked inside the room and
locked the door.
“Going somewhere ladies? Did you
try to run away from me, Emily?”
He got close to the nurse and
grabbed her hand. He strangled her
to death with so much force
that he lifted her off the ground and
Emily watched the nurse die from
suffocation.
“That was easy,” said Max.
“You you you just killed her,” cried
Emily.
“I let her sleep. It’s a pity she won’t
wake up. Let’s go,” he grabbed her
hand by force. SOURCE: www.emperorblog.com.ng/if-only- she-knew-part-22/ |
