* An hour later *…..
” Welcome back home Young Mrs”
” We are happy to have you back home Young Mrs ”
” Young Mrs ”
” Welcome Young Mrs ”
The thorns of maids and guards greeted Sadie with big smiles on their face as they came out of the car.
They were all happy to see her, the house has been utterly quiet because she is not around and their young master’s mood for the past one week kept all of them on edge.
They were all walking on eggshell trying their best not to break it.
” Thank you, thank you all. I am happy I am back too, I have missed you all and this place ”
Sadie replied looking around.
” Does that mean you did not miss me? ” Nathan asked with a jealous frown on his face.
Sadie rolled her eyes, she straddled towards him giving him a quick kiss like he did earlier.
The workers looked away at their Young Mrs display of affection.
” Don’t be a jealous freak, I missed you too ”
She replied sincerely.
All of the including Kaleb bowed their heads and left leaving the two lovers standing in front of the door when a car pulled in.
Both Sadie and Nathan stared at the car.
The car is not for his parents not his sister. Nathan thought.
They all waited, the car doors opened revealing Alex and Carly.
Sadie let out a surprise gasp before masking it up with a hard look.
What the hell is Carly doing in her house?
She folded her arms as they approach her.
Carly walked behind Alex with fear written all over her face. If it was then, she would have taken her time to check out this beautiful building.
” And what is a jezebel doing in my home?”
Sadie asked with a straight face.
Carly was not bothered about the name she just called her.
She deserves it anyway. Carly allowed the tears that has been threatening to fall flow freely.
” Sa… Sadie, I am sorry ”
Carly managed to say after crying for ages while Alex stood next to her.
Sadie scoffed….
” Sorry? Why are you sorry?” She asked pretending like she doesn’t know why Carly told her that.
But Sadie wondered what changed.
Carly is here to apologize to her after everything? After she left the house for almost nine months now and close to a year?
Carly played with her fingers in embarrassment.
” I… I am sorry for everything you went through Sadie, I deeply regret it. I regret ever treating you the way I did in the past, please forgive me ”
Carly apologized, her tears streaming down her already puffy eyes.
Sadie was taken aback, what changed Carly?
Carly has never been the type that apologize if she I wrong. Bo matter sho you are.
Sadie chuckled dryly, seeing Carly has really rose the pain she was feeling.
” What changed Carly? Why are you suddenly here to ask for my forgiveness? How am I sure you don’t have a motive?”
Sadie asked stepping closer to Carly who flinched in fear.
Her hand unconsciously flew to her cheeks. The pain of the slap Sadie had given her months ago tend to resurface or was it the fear?
” Believe me Sadie, I mean it. Please, I am really sorry. I can’t have you being mad at me forever. I don’t want you to hate me anymore, I was stupid, please don’t hate me ”
She begged while Sadie snorted as she remembered everything that happened to her.
She went through a lot in the hands of Carly.
? Flash Back ?
” I am sorry Carly, I.. didn’t burn your dress on purpose. I . forgot the iron was very hot and the moment it landed on your dress it got burnt ”
Sadie explained with tears streaming down her face.
She could see Carly holding the knife, she really wants to kill her.
Carly want to kill her for a simple mistake anyone else can make.
A resounding slap landed on Sadie’s cheek and it reddened almost immediately.
Still, she didn’t stand to be stabbed.
There was no way to escape.
She was frightened, her breathe wasn’t stable anymore from running around.
She feel terribly scared, dying is what she doesn’t want but it seems luck wasn’t on her side at that time.
Sadie stepped on her dress and stumbled on the floor.
That was the opportunity Carly used.
” You think you can run away from me ?” Carly asked in a ridiculed voice as Sadie’s body on the floor trembled in fear .
” Pl… please Carly, I.. I am sorry. I am still your sister please forgive me ” Sadie pleaded and Carly laughed in a mockery tons.
” You are not my sister! I despise you so much Sadie, I hate you ”
When Sadie’s scream came, it was too late.
Carly stabbed her in the stomach and ran away.
Tears burned down her cheeks as she remembered the incident.
” No!” She muffled faintly .
” No! ”
The scene changed to where Sadie was being tortured.
Sadie let out a loud cry immediately the hot electric iron landed on her back.
Her father kept it in a particular place on her back without removing it.
” D… Dad please, I am sorry. It’s hurting please forgive me ” she pleaded in tears.
She couldn’t move because she was tied to the chair.
What was her crime? Her only crime was saving her sister Carly from the street boys she insulted.
Sadie protected Carly, she made her escaped from them but they ended up giving Sadie a thorough beating in place of her sister.
She came home all wounded, bruised and hurt so badly only to discover that her Carly reported her.
Carly told their parents that Sadie gave her body to the street boys. She lied against her.
A slap landed on Sadie’s cheeks. That was her mum, she wasn’t given the chance to vindicate herself.
” You won’t bring disgrace to me you sl*t ” her Mum yelled .
Her Mum began wiping her mercilessly with a rod while being tied and a hot iron burning her skin.
She cried, begged but no one listened to her.
She was tired, scared and weak .
The pain became unbearable for her, her spirit left her soul. Even her kegs failed to shake as it was in the beginning.
Her body turned red, purple and pink.
She wondered why her family hates her so much.
” No” Sadie shouted and passed out.
The scene changed to her looking so worn out.
Sadie felt so hungry, she gets to steal their leftovers a few few times.
Sometimes, she’d eat the dog food to stay alive. Maybe one day, they will change and love her like they do to her two younger sisters.
Sadie panicked on hearing her mum’s voice.
She knew she was in trouble like always
Before she could move to her, Jenna and Carly pounced on her.
They pushed her down. Carly sat on her and asked Sadie to move like a horse with Jenna dragging her hair .
She was being moved around the room with her hair.
She like her scalp was going to cut out of her head.
She do rather get beaten than being dragged by the hair.
The day she wanted to fight back, she was locked up for two weeks with no food no water.
Ever since she never dared to….
Her cries rang loudly in the room. No one came to her rescue.
? Present ?
Sadie sighed, she went through all those pains because of Carly, if she hadn’t lied on her several times, she wouldn’t have been having this numerous scars on her body.
All those memories were still fresh in her mind. It’s hard to forget what she went through.
Nathan did not bother to say anything.
He just stayed and let his wife handle the situation after he sent everyone else to their duty posts.
” It’s not that easy to let everything go Carly, you were the major problem I faced in that house. You hurt me really bad, what if I had died?”
Sadie asked while Carly bent and hugged Sadie’s legs in tears.
” I do not have any reason for what I did to you but please forgive me Sadie, I regret everything, I am changed now, please ”
Carly knelt down crying her eyes out, her eyes were already swollen from too much cries.
This time, Alex and Nathan stepped forward.
” I know what she did to you in the past isn’t forgivable but I plead on her behalf, please forgive her sis ”
Alex begged while Nathan hug Sadie from behind to keep her calm and relaxed.
Sadie sighed pulling Carly up then hugged her.
She wouldn’t gain anything if she still keep what she did to her in the past in mind.
Maybe after now, Sadie will be fine and all her hatred towards Carly will reduce.
” It’s okay, I forgive you Carly. From the dept of my heart. I forgive everyone one of you ”
★ A year Later ★
Sadie hissed loudly covering her ears with her hand.
She felt like crying as Emma and Eva kept crying.
Her five months twin boy and girl cries a lot and it’s so tiring, frustrating.
She hissed again standing up from the bed and walking to their cradles in the corner of the room.
She had just wanted to have a little sleep in the afternoon since the twins kept her awake throughout yesterday.
They wouldn’t allow even their Dad to touch them, they wouldn’t go to sleep too, just staying up in her hands till morning.
Nothing can be more annoying than that.
Sadie took Evan in her arms cooing him, she is sure they both are not hungry. It’s not being long Lani fed them before she left.
Evan stopped crying almost immediately he was taken by his mother.
Sadie sat down on the small stool in the room taking Emma in her other hand.
They stopped crying like they planned it earlier to frustrate Sadie.
Sadie stared at the kids in her arms, her heart melted and the frustration she was feeling earlier was gone.
They look so cute and adorable. Emma took her blonde hair, eyes and even face. She looks like Sadie while Evan took almost all Nathan’s structure.
When he grows up, he is going to look like a little bad boy with his handsome face.
The duo sucked their hands, they began talking gibberish while staring at their Mum who kept a smile on her face.
” I have told you two several times to stop stressing mummy, reduce your cries so that mummy can sleep and have enough rest to take care of you ”
Sadie said to them like they could hear what she was saying.
Just on clue, the two mumbled something and smiled.
Sadie couldn’t help but laugh, did they just reply her?
This is crazy!
That moment, Nathan walked in.
” Hey wifey ” he said placing a soft kiss on Sadie’s cheek.
” How are this two cute little munchkins doing? ”
He asked taking Emma from her while staring at his twins adorably.
Emma stretched her body the moment she got to her daddy’s hands.
” They wouldn’t let me sleep with their cries, I might get a migraine soon ”
Sadie said tiredly.
” I am sorry baby, you should go have enough rest while I look after them. My Mum will be coming over later ”
Nathan said, she feel sorry for his wife, this two kids are so stubborn but still, they are their bundles of joy.
” Are you sure you can take care of them till your mum arrives?”
Sadie asked doubtfully, she knows how Emma and Evan has been giving her a hard time since they were birthed.
And Nathan too, despite them being glued to her, he takes care of them too especially in the afternoon to allow her have enough sleep.
Nathan is such a sweetheart and she couldn’t ask for more.
Max and Matilda’s wedding will take place by next month finally.
Sofia and Dylan got married last month while Alex and Lani’s wedding is in the next three weeks.
Both Sadie and all the Meyers family has reconciled.
They apologized and begged for her forgiveness.
Sadie had to let everything go. There is no point hating them for what has already happened.
And Nathan has been the best husband any lady could ask for.
He has been so caring and supportive.
” I will pass wifey, just have some rest okay? And your Mum and Dad are already on their way, I will personally go pick them from the airport ”
Nathan said.
Sadie nodded her head in satisfaction.
Her Mum and Dad are coming to see their grandchildren after five months of putting to bed.
Mum’s health delayed them but Sadie is glad everything and everyone are fine.
She stood up tiredly handing Evan to Nathan, just like a few other days, the twins did not cry.
Maybe they really heard what she told them earlier.
” Thank you so much for everything Nathan ”
She hugged him side ways.
Nathan chuckled, he placed a kiss on her forehead.
” Anything to make you happy baby, I should be the one thanking you for bringing our babies to the world. I love you so much Mrs Nathan Rogers ”
” I love you too Mr Nathan Rogers “
