Next morning, Eduardo told Jenny to accompany him to a certain place. She didn't object and said okay. Though she and Eduardo hadn't consummated their wedding, she discovers she liked him more on each passing day.
This made her want to question herself if she had gradually fallen in love with him. She admired him and never fails to see him off to his car every morning and say goodbye.
But since he said they should go somewhere that morning, she got dressed and waited. But she was surprised when Eduardo walked out of his room without the wheelchair that morning.
A sweet smile escaped her lips. She can't express it but knew she was happy he was not using a wheelchair again. Eduardo glanced at her and saw her staring at his legs.
It's not as if she didn't already know that he was fine, but just faking it that he was cripple. Her excitement was visible and Eduardo smiled too.
As Eduardo walked ahead of her into the car, she was walking behind and admiring his walking posture that dictates dominance and an aura that cannot be denied.
Eduardo slipped into the car and Jenny got in through the other door. As soon as she did, Eduardo said he had found the evidence she demanded for.
He handed her a parcel and asked her to go through at the convenience. If she wants him to do anything else, he should let him know. Meanwhile, he was taking her to a witness whose claim cannot be denied.
Jenny smiled and thanked him. She said she doesn't know how she would have been now, without him and Eduardo said, she would have still remained the puppet in the Davis family.
Jenny smiled and gave his large palm a soft squeeze. She doesn't know how to show excitement. Eduardo got that evidence for her and was even taking her to a live witness for that crime.
They arrived at a house, portable and looking good. Jenny wondered who lives in such a beautiful house. They alighted and the couple walked out together.
Eduardo took Jenny by the hand and together they walked towards the house. Jenny asked him who was living in that house and Eduardo said she would soon know.
As they came closer, the door was held for them both to walk in. And the door was shut again. Jenny saw a middle aged woman who bowed and greeted Eduardo and did the same with her.
"Please sit, I will call ma'am" the elderly woman declared and soon disappeared to go and get Temi Davies.
On hearing that Eduardo was waiting in the sitting room, Temi got dressed and was eager to come downstairs. The last time he came, she made him promise her that he would bring her daughter when he was visiting again and Eduardo said ok.
Could it be that her daughter was downstairs? She was happy and hurriedly put on a dress. Had she grown taller and more beautiful after this long time they've been separated?
As she came downstairs, she saw her daughter sitting and Eduardo standing and staring at the direction Temi Davies would take. She stood at the top of the stairs and sniffled.
She wanted to hold back her tears when she sniffled but alas, it was loud enough to attract Jenny's attention. She turned to look in the direction where the sound came from and was dazed.
She immediately shivered and looked ashen. Out of fear, she stood and gripped Eduardo who stood with his hands in his pants pocket.
Jenny's heart was beating fast. "Eduardo... Eduardo...my...my.." she seemed to want to melt into Eduardo and disappeared. This was her mother, but in a ghost form.
Was this the live witness that Eduardo talked about? How possible was that? Her mother was dead and had been buried. How did Eduardo let her ghost live here?
Eduardo smiled and held her tight to himself. She snuggled into him and he didn't mind, he smiled and was caressing her hair stead.
"Calm down wifey. Nothing is abnormal here. Look very well and you will realise that the fellow you are seeing is real.." he carefully explained.
Temisa Davis just couldn't believe her daughter was going to run away, totally scared of her. She knows her daughter must have thought she was dead.
Seeing her, she would mistake her for a ghost. She carefully started descending the stairs. She was smiling and at the same, her tears were running down her cheeks. It's a feeling of unexplainable excitement.
"Jenny dear" Temisa Davis called her daughter and came to stand in front of her. She saw her snuggling into Eduardo and she was happy. Her daughter is lucky to be married to this man, her life saver.
"How are you doing today Mrs Davis?" Eduardo asked, caressing his wife's hair. Jenny raised her head and looked at him. Surprised, he was talking to her mother's ghost.
Eduardo shrugged and said "I told you everything is real. I brought you to see your mother and you are behaving like you didn't miss her after all these years?"
"Thank you Eduardo, I am fine. Thanks for all you did to save my life. It appears my daughter didn't know that" Temisa Davis stated, staring at the back view of her daughter which was turned to her.
Jenny's eyes welled up. She looked at Eduardo and the latter winked at her. She carefully turned and faced her mother. For a few seconds, she stood and let the well of tears in her eyes poured.
Temisa Davis stared at her daughter. She was sniffling. She looked at her daughter and saw she had grown up. She's matured and true to that, she was married happily with such a great man.
"Mum" Jenny finally found her voice and threw herself on her mother. She started sobbing loudly. Never had she imagined she would see her mother again in this life.
"I will return to pick you wifey, when I leave work later in the day" Eduardo declared and before Jenny could say thanks, he had strode out of the house with his long legs.
Jenny hugged her mother more and started sobbing on her shoulders "I didn't know I would see you again in this life mother. So you were never dead?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah, Eduardo saved me at the time when I was supposed to be dead. I don't know what happened, but I knew I woke up and was told I was saved by a kind hearted man…." Temisa Davis went on and narrated everything that happened.
Jenny couldn't hold her tears. She was sobbing profusely that made her mother Confused. Why so much sob now? Shouldn't her daughter be happy that she was back to her strong and healthy self?
"It's enough Jenny. I am fine now and we are now reunited with each other" Temisa coaxed her.
"No mother, it's not about you but Eduardo. I fought him and threatened to divorce him. I accused him wrongly and he didn't say a word of what he's done to me…" Jenny explained.
Temisa Davis held her daughter closer and cleaned her tears. She said she was lucky to have been married to Eduardo. Being married to him is the best thing that will ever happen to her.
Jenny explained everything to her mother. How she survived after the accident she had with her dad which took her father's life away.
How she ended up being Eduardo's Wife and what circumstances led her to become his wife. The news of her death and how she eavesdropped on Sebrina and her daughter Betty's conversation.
They wanted her dead. How she naively trusted her uncle. She knew what Sebrina and her uncle Patrick did to her and her dad. She thirst for revenge and come what may, she would make them pay for all they've done to her parents.
Temisa Davis listened as tears welled up in her eyes. She can't imagine what her daughter had gone through while being in Sebrina's care. She lost her dear husband because of the evil plot from his own brother and wife?
She started sobbing. The mother and daughter pair spent a long time sobbing together. It was a happy reunion but they can't help but mourn the loss of their dear husband and father.
Temisa told her daughter that Sebrina and her husband would pay for what they have done to them. For murdering her husband and making her suffer so long in the hospital.
That morning, Camilla was weak. She was Indeed without any strength. She was pregnant and going without meals for two days already, she can't take it anymore.
"Hey girl, how are you today?" Camilla heard the voice coming from the bunk beside her. She guessed it must be the older woman who she shared the same room with.
"My name is Kimberly. I am a prisoner like you. And I have spent seven years here…"Kimberly was saying when Camilla was suddenly quiet. Spent seven years already?
She became worried again and her eyes welled up in tears. Someday she would be saying that also. She was going to spend the rest of her life in prison.
She cleaned her tears. What was the use of sobbing when tears couldn't solve her problems? She would resign to fate and live her life best that she can from the hospital.
".. helloooo" Kimberly yelled at her. How can this girl be so lost that she didn't even blink an eyelid nor heard her introducing herself?
Camilla shivered as Kimberly's voice brought her out of her thoughts. She looked at the older woman and knew she could be as old as her mother Sara.
She forced a smile and it worked as Kimberly smiled back at her. "Hi, Camilla is my name" she replied and the older woman stood up and walked over to Camilla's bed.
"You didn't have any meal yesterday and you cried a lot. I am going to set new rules in this room and you must obey them" Kimberly declared.
