EPISODE 20

????STELLA????
“What?” He asked like he didn’t hear what I just said.

“I am going to act like a nurse and take care of you and attend to all your needs” I beamed????

“Please help me call 911 so they’ll be on their way here before you kill me” he said shaking a bit.

“If you value your life, you’ll shut up and let me help you get better. Tell me, what do you need right now?” I asked biting my thumb.

“Is that really a question? You got to be kidding me right now…” He choked on his words and held his chest.
“Stella, you’ll give me a high blood pressure before you can even think of curing me. Drugs, I need drugs! Isn’t it obvious?!!”.

My eyes widened.

“Of course…how could I be so smart?” I chuckled.

I looked at the drawers and brought out some fever relieving pills.

????YVONNE????
“Tristan, I said go away!” I yelled and the door burst open.

He barged in.

“If you’re looking for a man that’ll fall at your feet before you forgive him then am sorry to disappoint you, am not that man. You’ll have to forgive me Yvonne. I’ve been begging you for a while now” he said staring deep into my eyes.

“You’re so annoying Tristan!” I rapsed.

“Yes, am sorry” he said with an eye roll before leaving the room.
“Come make breakfast, am famished!”.

I sighed and got off the bed trailing behind him.

????STELLA????
I sat beside Jeremy on the bed watching him shiver.

“If only you aren’t so stubborn and always heed my advice. The honeymoon ghost is really angry with you” I said grinning.

“God! I’ve never been so sick in my life…everywhere feels so cold. The blankets are useless. Stella you must be badluck. I should have left you at Jeffery’s mansion and returned home alone last night” he said with a shaky voice.

“The honeymoon ghost will increase the cold if you keep saying nonsense” I said and hit his arm.

“Ouch!, what sort of nurse are you?” He asked glaring at me.

I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth.

I pulled off my clothes and tied a towel around my body.

I was about to turn on the shower when Jeremy’s sudden cough made me run into bedroom.

He was still coughing but it subsided.

“Stella, bring me coffee. Damn hot coffee” he groaned.

“What?!” I yelped since I was in my towel.

“Go now…, get the coffee” he ordered twitching.

I folded the end of my towel tightly so it doesn’t fall.

I left the room and went downstairs. I arrived at the kitchen and stood before the coffee making machine.

I poured some hot coffee for Jeremy before going back upstairs.

I returned to the bedroom and I saw him sitting up on the bed.

I took some steps towards him and as i was about to give him the cup, the end of my towel unfolded.

What?????

I jerked and took my hand to my b*easts pinning the towel to my body. The tray shook and the next thing I heard was Jeremy screaming.

“Stella!!! What the he*l is wrong with you?!” He yelled and I got to realize the hot coffee poured on him!

I dropped the tray on a stool and staggered back to Jeremy.

“Am sorry! I was trying to stop my towel from falling” I panicked.

What if he dies???

He removed his sweater and rubbed his arm where the hot substance poured.

“Do you have a death wish Stella??” He asked obviously pissed.

“I was trying not to loose my human dignity” I jibed.

“Am your husband. We’re married! What part have I not seen Stella?” He asked and I squeezed my face.

“Well, I’ve not seen your whole body” I retorted and folded my arms.

He shook his head.

“Am so dead for marrying you. You really want to kill your husband on his sick bed?” He asked and I scoffed.

“It’s the honeymoon ghost” I chuckled.

I walked to the bathroom and shut the door.

????TRISTAN????
Yvonne is too dumb to carry out my new diabolic plan I’ve created.

Am going to do this with people that are brilliant and more intelligent.

In few words, am going to kill Stella.

There’s no doubt she’s pregnant already so once I get rid of her, I’ll have Jeremy slaughtered and all the wealth will be transfered to me. If I kill Jeremy first, Stella will gain the whole wealth and probably leave the country making me to go on a wide goose chase.

Just wait and see, Tristan will gain the whole wealth and God knows what I’ll do with it.
