THE KIDNAPPER

CHAPTER 17

SHALLINE P.O.V

" My baby, my love, my mum and my sister are all gone. what am I doing in this world? I should die too." I thought aloud.

"Please don't say that my love," Akim says and I snap out of my thoughts

"Take me home please I don't want to be here anymore minute,"  I announce and he nods.

He leaves to look for the doctor for the paperwork. The doctor walks in and moves towards me. "Miss,  are you sure you need to be discharged? "

"Yes,  I don't want to spend any more time here.  It makes me feel like you will walk through that door with my baby. "

"I understand but I advise you to have some counseling so, please have this card., she is doctor Isabella, a counselor and she will help you, " he announces as he prepares my summery for my discharge.

 
****
Am so grateful am out of the hospital and now am at Akim's place since I had moved in.
He opens the door for me and I step out.  

Helena is already at home and she opens the door for me.  our gaze meets and she lowers her eye to her feet. I walk past her without a word into the masonite.

In the living room, everything comes flashing back and my eyes are clouded with tears.  I can't hold them.
They caused the death of my child and I will never forgive them.

I walk to the spot I had stood previously when I was looking for Akim for help.

"HE IS CHEATING ON  YOU WITH THE MAID. THE MAID IS MORE GOOD IN BED THAN YOU!" my inner subconscious is accusing and judging me.

Breaking into fresh tears I walked to my bedroom and locked from inside. I wanted to be left alone and they both understood my request.

Back stubbers. 

I was stubbed direct to my hear when Dante was killed and I was not able to say my last farewell and now this! my baby is no more and Akim is busy with the maid. the is now too deep and I don't know how long I can hold before I go into depression.

I scoop my empty self into a corner and cried the pain out. 

All come flashing back since we were kids I and my sister together with our parents and how we grew up and now am all alone.

DADDY, I have to call daddy I rubble though my room looking for my phone, I can't find it, where did I keep my phone?

I make up my mind to call daddy through the landline. I try dialing his line but the phone is engaged. "what is going on? how come that the house landline is engaged!" I have unanswered questions. I give up and make up my mind to call later.

A knock comes to the door and I am not sure whether the person knocking has intentions of breaking the door.

"Sally darling, are you in there?"

The next thing the door was broken and Akim walked in scanning the room then to me.

" what the hell.." he walks the windows and opens them wide open.

 It has been five long days since I locked myself in the bedroom and I had not taken either shower nor stepped out of the clothes I had worn when I left the hospital.

AKIMS P.O V

I knocked at her bedroom door but there is no answer.  I had left the house four days ago to take care of some unfinished business. 

Hellena called me last night to inform me that Shalline has not left her room since we left the hospital and she has not responded to her knock since then.

I booked the next flight to the country immediately and left Jimmy to take care of the remaining work.

At the airport, my driver was waiting for me but I ended up driving myself not caring if I could earn my self a ticket for over speeding.

I walked through the front door then upstairs to Shally's room.

 I knocked twice and there was no response and no lights on.

I rushed for spare keys in my bedroom but they were nowhere to be found.

Going back to her door,  I broke it and the room was dark. 

I reached for the switch at the wall. I could not believe what my eyes saw.

The room had been turned upside down and there she was at a corner all weak and drained.

her skin was pale, her eyes were red, heavy and swollen from all the crying and lack of sleep.

Wait! Oh my goodness, she was still in her clothes since we left the hospital, that means she has not even taken a shower, a conclusion, she is undergoing depression.

I walk to the windows and open them for fresh air. then I rush to her and pulls her it to my arms. she looked at me weakly and tears rolled down her pale cheeks.

I carried her and place her on the bed gently then walk ed to the bathroom and run a hot shower in the bathtub.

walking back to the bedroom, I assisted her out her clothes and I stripped naked too. 

caring her to the bathroom, I placed her in the bathtub and stepped in too. I washed her clean.

she was just like a zombie, complying with the directions given.

She has lost a lot of weight and I had to do something about it.

 I carried her back to her bed and dried her body.

I helped her into her panties because I couldn't take any more of the temptations of having her.

I have never had her for my self and a have been longing for the day I shall be able to get into her pants and make love to her.

I tried massaging her but I could see she was in pain from the joints so I let it go and help her in her clothes before walking out to the kitchen and to make soup for her.

 I walked back into the room and she was in the same position I left her.

Struggling with her and the soup to go down to her throat but at least she took it all and went to sleep.

she slept like a baby and I made one decision, to help her see a shrink and then I reached her purse and retrieved dr. Esabella's card and made the call.
