Episode 11 : At Rivers Street
Patricia’s POV
We finished eating in awkward silence, Spencer and I kept stealing glances of each other. I hate to see him with that Maggie girl.
She seems so harsh and egocentric. Spencer deserves someone better than her.
I went to my room and picked up my bag, and I went to the sitting room to see Maggie on Spencer’s legs and watched a movie.
I felt the way I saw them, but there is nothing I could do about it.
“Shall we??” Daniel asked, stretching his hands forward and bowing.
“Common Daniel,” I said, hitting him slightly on his hand. Spencer looked at us coldly.
“Let’s go,” I said and moved out of the house with Daniel behind me.
We got to the street, and we started walking, I decided to start a conversation to make the journey lively.
“So Daniel tell me, what about your girlfriend?” I asked him.
He looked at me and smiled, ” Patricia I don’t have any girlfriend yet ” he replied, smiling.
“Yet?? That means you will have one soon?” I asked again.
“Yes, Patricia,” he replied…
“That’s good news Daniel, so who is the girl??” I asked anxiously.
He laughed and looked at me. “Patricia, when the time comes you will know,” he said.
“Hmmm okay,” I said a little bit disappointed that he didn’t tell me.
“So tell me, Daniel, where is Rivers street??” I asked.
“It is right around that corner,” he replied, pointing at the direction.
“Okay thanks,” I replied.
“Any problem Patricia?” He asked, looking at me.
“No, not at all I just need to go see somebody there,” I said, looking at him.
“I can follow you if you don’t mind,” he said.
“No, no Daniel, I have to go alone, you can go back now,” I said, patting him on his hand.
“Are you sure Patricia?” He asked worriedly.
“Yes Daniel and thanks for your care, I need to go now,” I said and moved away from him.
“Be careful!!” He yelled from behind me.
“I will,” I yelled, too, without looking back.
Moved down the street observing how it was.
I moved to the fourth house on the left and saw a woman dressing her garden.
“This must be Lord Jackson’s wife,” I thought.
I moved closer to the woman with a smiling face.
“Hi ma’am, may I help you?” I asked immediately I got close to her.
“Oh no child, I can do this myself,” she replied, smiling.
“Are you sure?” I asked, again, smiling.
“Yes my child, thank you,” she said, smiling.
“I am Patricia, I am new in this town,” I said, watching her cut the grasses.
“Oh dear, welcome to our big town,” she replied, smiling.
“Thank you, ma’am, so I thought of taking a stroll since I am new here, then I saw you and decided to render some help,” I said.
“Thank you, dear, well you can see am through as well,” she replied, packing the tools together.
“Yes ma’am, I guess I should start going then,” I said, hoping she would let me in.
“Not so fast child, come in let’s talk a little, you seem to be a nice girl,” she said, smiling.
“Really? I would love to talk with you too,” I said happily.
She smiled and opened the door gesturing me in.
“Thanks,”
Maggie’s POV
I watched how Spencer kept stealing glances of that bi**h. Who does she think she is to snatch Spencer away from me.
I finished eating, and Spencer had gone to the living room watching TV. I went closer to him and sat on his laps.
He looked at me, trying to fake a smile.
“Baby, what is wrong?” I asked sadly.
“What do you mean Maggie?” He asked, looking at me.
“You don’t seem to notice me anymore when you are around that girl you seem to give her more attention than necessary,” I said, rolling my eyes.
“Maggie you know that’s not true, you are just been paranoid baby,” he said, cupping my face in his hands.
“I know what I am saying Spencer, you kept stealing glances of her while we were eating, you didn’t even mind the fact that I was beside you,” I said angrily.
“Maggie. Okay, I am sorry, it won’t happen again,” he said with a sorry face.
“Promise?” I asked happily.
“Promise,” he said and kissed me.
I deepened the kiss, but he quickly disengaged.
“Please Maggie, I don’t want to miss this scene, let’s do this later,” he said, focusing on the movie.
“Okay,” I replied angrily, folding my hands under my breast. He didn’t even pay attention to me.
That Patricia is really asking for war, and I am in for it.
Daniel’s POV
I wasn’t comfortable with the fact that Patricia was going out alone. I mean, she is new here.
She is not yet familiar with this place, but since she insisted I went back, I had no choice but to do so.
I want her to be very free with me. And about my having a girlfriend soon, that’s true.
And it will be Patricia, and I just don’t want to tell her now. I love her, and I wish to marry her.
I will make sure she loves me, too, before I propose to her.
Episode 12 : Don’t Do Anything Stupid
Patricia’s POV
I sat down on the couch in her living room, looking at the things in the living room.
“I will make coffee,” she said and left for the kitchen.
“Coffee?? What is coffee? I muttered, looking confused.
A-frame caught my attention. It was on the table. I stood up and moved closer to the picture. It was Lord Jackson, his wife, and a little boy in their midst.
The little boy looked familiar, and I closed my eyes, trying to recollect, but I couldn’t.
” That is my family,” She said and moved closer to me holding the coffee.
I faced back and smiled at her, and she stretched the cup of coffee to me.
“Thank you, ma’am,” I said, collecting the so-called coffee.
I gulped it all without stopping. I finished and licked my lips, smiling. I looked at her, and she laughed slightly.
“So where is your husband?” I asked, pointing at him in the picture.
She sighed and sat down sadly, and I went close to where she sat and sat close to her.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, its fine,” I said, holding her hands.
“No no, it’s okay, That is Raymond. Well, that was the name I knew him to be until…” She said and sighed heavily.
“Until??” I asked nervously.
“Until he left without saying a word,” she said, and tears filled her eyes.
“It’s okay ma’am,” I said and drew into a hug.
“He left me and my son,” she said admist tears.
“Am sorry about ma’am,” I said, tapping her slightly.
“I shouldn’t be bothering with this,” she said and disengaged from the hug.
“Its okay ma’am, we are friends now,” I said, smiling.
“Felicia,” she said and stretched out her hand.
“Patricia once again,” I said, but instead of taking her hand, I drew her in a hug again.
She smiled and looked into my face, “thank you,” she said.
“My pleasure,” I said and bowed slightly, making us laugh.
She doesn’t even know I am her family. She doesn’t even know that the so-called Raymond is Lord Jackson.
“So tell me about your son, Does he look like his father??” I asked, smiling.
“He really looks like his father, but I don’t know about now, I haven’t seen Raymond for 20years now,” she said sadly.
“And have you seen your son??” I asked.
“Yes Patricia, he does talk and he visits me once in a while because he is always busy,” she replied, smiling.
“Nice,” I said, smiling.
“So do you know where he could be?? I mean your husband. Any friend?? Or relative??” I asked nervously.
“No Patricia, I don’t have an idea,” she replied, shaking her head.
“It’s okay, it will be fine,” I said, smiling.
I stood up, and she looked at me, wondering why I did.
“Ma’am Felicia, I need to leave now,” I said, smiling.
“Sure. Thank you so much for your company. And please endeavor to come to visit anytime. I am always around,” she said, smiling.
“Okay, ma’am I will,” I said, smiling.
I moved out of the house while she escorted me to the gate. I bade her goodbye and headed home.
She is adorable for her to accommodate a stranger. I am really sad she had to be Lord Jackson’s wife. He didn’t even tell her who is really is.
And her son looks familiar, but I can’t recall where I know him from. I can’t wait to see Lord Jackson and take what rightfully belongs to our world.
Spencer’s POV
I saw Daniel walk in when I was still in the living room with Maggie, and he wasn’t with Patricia. Doesn’t she know she is new here? She could get missing! I thought angrily.
He walked towards us, smiling and later headed to his room. I need to talk some sense into him. I thought and stood up from beside Maggie.
“Where are you going??” She asked, looking at me.
“To talk to Daniel,” I replied and headed to Daniel’s room.
I got to his door and knocked on it, he came to the door and opened up for me.
“Hey brother,” he said, smiling as he opened up for me to come in. I wasn’t going to take it slightly with him, but his approach calmed me down.
“Where is Patricia?” I asked as soon as I got into the room.
“She said she wanted a visit a friend, and I shouldn’t follow her there so I left,” he replied, gesturing me to sit.
“Friend?? Patricia is new here! When did she start having friends??” I asked, confused.
“I don’t know, I didn’t ask. She is a lady, she needs her privacy you know”. He said.
” Privacy?? She could be herself in trouble. You know how funny she can be!!” I said angrily.
“Cut the crap Spencer, what is wrong with you?? Why are you so overprotective about her. She isn’t Maggie, stop blaming me for shit okay??” He replied angrily.
“Fine!!” I yelled and stormed out of his room. I just don’t know why I feel bad about Patricia staying alone outside.
I got to the living took to find Maggie still watching the movie.
“I need to go somewhere,” I said, and before she could reply, I stormed out of the house.
I am not feeling okay knowing she is out there all by herself, Patricia, please don’t do anything stupid, I thought to head nowhere.
Episode 13 : Painful Life
Lord Jackson’s POV
Since I have left for the Earth with the seed, my life has always been hunted by my selfish brother Grover. He alone can’t rule. Once it the last minute of this year making it the 20th year I left the gaint world, I will break the seed, and all power will become mine.
I fell in love with a beautiful woman when I got to Earth, and she took good care of me even when she was yet to know me. I later married her, and she bore a child for me.
But I couldn’t even wait to see my child. I can’t let Grover kill him for anything, and I don’t want to involve my innocent wife and child in this at all.
Since the last 20 years, I have been watching over Felicia making sure no one hurts her, I watched my son grow in my hiding place close to the house.
And today, I am here again on the same tree I stay every day watching my wife. I was still watching her when I saw my brother’s daughter come out of our house.
“What the hell is Patricia doing her??” I asked myself in anger. I am very sure Grover has sent her here to look for me.
My brother is really stupid, sending this thing he calls a child to capture me. Isn’t that daft??.
I watched her come out of the house, “Time to play!” I said to myself and came down from the tree.
I trailed behind her and making sure she doesn’t see me. I ran close to her and held her from behind, placing my palm on her mouth so she wouldn’t make any noise.
The neighbors were indoor, so I could do anything I want. She struggled with me, but trust me, her powers are nothing compared to mine.
He dragged her out of the street into a secret path. She was still struggling, but I held her yet, she couldn’t even see my face. I walked some meters from the main road and got to my base.
I opened the door and threw her inside before closing it. I opened my face mask and grinned at her.
“Lord Jackson??” She said, widening her eyes in fear.
“Look who is here, Patricia!” I said mockingly.
She looked around her, checking out my house, still sitting on the floor. I walked up to her and took a rope beside her.
I lifted her up and sat her on a chair. I pulled her hands backward and tied them firmly.
“Let me go!!” She yelled, but I didn’t answer her.
“Why are you doing this Lord Jackson?? We all trusted you with the seed and all you could do was steal it?? How could you?” She yelled, struggling with the chair.
I laughed and looked at her. “You shouldn’t trust a devil moron, your father thinks he is the only one meant to rule, and I will show him he is wrong,” I said, rounding her chair.
“Lord Jackson,” she said.
“I was supposed to be king!!! But the people choose my younger brother, your father over me!!! Because they don’t love me!!. I yelled in anger.
Patricia’s POV
“That is not true lord Jackson,” I said, shaking my head. He had a face mask on.
“Ohh shut up! You know nothing Patricia, you have no right to talk,” he yelled, bringing his face closer to mine.
“Grover made a great mistake sending you here and now he will regret ever having me has his brother,” he said and moved to the table close to me.
“What do you mean??” I asked in fear. He opened the drawer and drew out a knife, the exact knife I saw with him in my dream.
“Please don’t do this,” I said, thinking about Spencer. My dream is coming to pass.
“You shouldn’t have left the gaint world to come to collect the seed, you are no match time,” he said and came closer to me.
“Am sorry it has to be like this Patricia,” he said and brought the knife closer to my tummy.
“No!!” I yelled and shut my eyes tightly, expecting the worse.
I still shut my eyes, expecting pains, but I didn’t feel anything. I opened my eyes slowly, and I saw Spencer moving close to me, holding his tummy.
There was blood all over his clothes. “Spencer!!” I yelled as tears rolled down my cheeks. He moved to my back and loosened the rope, holding my hands.
Spencer’s POV
I was still looking for Patricia when I caught a glimpse of her on my Mother’s street. What is she doing here??
I was about to call her when I saw a man on a face mask covering her nose. My eyes widened at the sight of this.
Who the hell is this man?
I trailed behind both of them, and he entered into a small room. I stood behind the door and started eavesdropping what they were saying.
Is Patricia not from this world? She is here on a mission?? What is this seed about? I am so confused right now.
I was still eavesdropping when I heard Patricia yell. I quickly opened the door, and there I saw the man holding a knife. I ran to him and stood between him and Patricia before I knew it, he thrust the knife into my tummy.
My eyes widen as I looked at him, he looked at me and widened his eyes too. He ran out of the room before I could talk.
I rushed to Patricia, still holding my tummy, and loosened the rope. I fell gradually to the ground, but she caught me.
“Spencer,” she yelled in tears, but I felt so much pain and couldn’t talk. I felt my eyelids getting heavy. And that was it, and my eyes shut dead.
Episode 14 : Teary Eyes
Patricia’s POV
My eyes filled with tears as I watched Spencer bleed in my hands. “Spencer please don’t go,” I said in tears.
I raised him up and made him lean on him. I put his hand across my neck and lead him out of the room.
We started walking towards our house, and he was still bleeding seriously. My eyes were filled with tears. “You shouldn’t have come to Spencer, you shouldn’t,” I said in tears.
I never thought this is how the drama will be exact in reality. I got home and laid him down in the compound, pressing my hand on his tummy.
“Daniel!!!!!” I yelled in tears. “Daniel!!! Please come out!!!” I yelled again. He rushed out of the house, and when he saw Spencer, his eyes widened.
“What happened to him!!!” He yelled and ran towards us.
“I.. He… He was… Knife…” I said stammering, I was so shocked. I couldn’t talk well.
I saw Maggie run out if the house. She yelled immediately she saw Spencer in blood.
“You b**CH what did you do?” She asked and slapped me.
I held my cheeks in pain, still crying. I couldn’t even do anything, and I hated myself for what happened to Spencer.
“Maggie, stop this nonsense and let’s rush him to the hospital,” Daniel said and raised him up.
“Omg!!! Baby be fine for me,” Maggie said in tears. She looked at me with disgust and rushed to Daniel, running to the car with Spencer in his hands.
I trailed behind them weakly. I couldn’t even talk, and I shouldn’t have gone there, I shouldn’t have come to Earth in the first place. I shouldn’t have met Spencer discuss less of putting him in this mess.
Daniel placed Spencer at the back seat, and Maggie sat there with him, she held his tummy with her hands. She was shedding tears.
“Patricia, sitting at the back seat with Maggie is a bad idea. Come sit here with me,” Daniel said and opened the front door for me to get in.
We both got in and zoomed off to the hospital. Heavens, please safe Spencer, He gave up his life for me.
Maggie’s POV
I watched Spencer lie beside me in tears. His head was on my head, and I cupped his face with my hand.
That Patricia will pay for what she did, what on Earth happened, and where did Spencer see her. She will be punished for this.
We got to the hospital, and the nurses rushed out of the hospital with a stretcher, the door opened, revealing Daniel and some nurses.
They came in and carried Spencer from my leg; they place him on the stretcher and led him into the hospital. I came down from the car and rushed into the hospital.
I looked at Patricia, she was soaked with tears and blood, but I didn’t care. She is the cause of all this.
I ran to the emergency unit where they led him to, but they didn’t allow me. I looked back and saw Patricia and Daniel walking towards me.
I became so angry, seeing Patricia. “Don’t you come here bCH” I yelled in anger. “Maggie calms down,” Daniel said, moving close to me with Patricia behind him. “Don’t tell me to fking calm down Danny, she caused all this, I feel like tearing her apart right now!!” I yelled in anger mixed with tears.
“Let’s still hear her part, Maggie, we don’t know what happened yet,” Daniel said, holding Patricia by her hands.
“I have never liked her since the first day I saw her, I knew she is bad luck. Because of her Spencer doesn’t give me attention anymore!!” I yelled, pointing at her.
“Maggie that is enough!!” Daniel yelled and pulled Patricia out of the hospital. I looked around in anger and saw people looking at me.
“Mind your business MF!!!” I yelled in anger.
Daniel’s POV
I took Patricia out of the hospital, still wondering what really happened. We got outside, and Patricia was still crying heavily. Her eyes were swollen because of her crying.
“Patricia, please explain what really happened,” I said, trying to be very calm.
“Daniel.. Believe me, I didn’t wish it to happen like that. I am supposed to be the one in that state, he saved me before I could even stop him,” she said very fast, still crying heavily.
“Patricia its okay, he will be safe,” I said and pulled her into a hug.
“He risked his life for me, Daniel, I hate myself right now,” she said, crying on my chest.
“Its okay dear, it will be fine,” I said, patting her back slightly while her continuous tears soaked my clothes.
“Please talk to Maggie, I didn’t mean any harm. I know am at fault but I will never hurt Spencer, I love him and I wouldn’t pray for something bad to happen to him,” she said, still crying.
“She loves him? Really?” I thought sadly. “I will talk to Maggie,” I replied sadly.
I wished I could tell her how much I feel about her right now, but I can’t. This is not the right time at all, and I just need to be patient with her.
“Patricia let’s go in,” I said, brushing her hair with my palm.
She nodded, and we both went in. We still met Maggie pacing around in front of the emergency unit.
“What is she still doing here!!” Maggie yelled in anger, moving towards us.
“!Maggie shut up and listen!!!” I yelled back.
“Listen to what!!!” She yelled again.
“We are in the hospital Maggie, other patients are here and need to rest. Stop making a scene and let’s hope Spencer will be okay,” I said calmly.
She sighed and looked at Patricia, who was behind me with a disgusting look.
“Fine!, but as soon as Spencer is back home she is leaving the house,” she said, pointing at Mara.
I sighed sadly, looking at Mara, who was sobbing quietly behind me.
Episode 15 : Last Breath
Lord Jackson’s POV
I ran out of my room in shock when I saw my son come in, and before I knew it, he came in between Patricia and I and took the knife for her.
I couldn’t wait to look at him, and I just hurt my son. But how did they meet?? His did they become so close to the extent of going far as dying for her?
I imagine how Felicia would feel when she hears this. “Shit!!” I yelled, hitting the wall with my knuckles.
I am sure he doesn’t know me, but he looked so much like me, and I knew he was surprised when he saw me.
I need to stay away from him and Felicia, I don’t want to put them in troubles with Grover. They are innocent, and they know nothing about this.
I walked to my private house a little bit far from where I took Patricia. I went in and removed my mask, and I went to my chandelle, where I kept the seed.
I climbed a stool and reached for it, and I held it in my hands carefully, it was as green as ever. I have just one month to go.
I crush this seed, and the passage will be open, both the earth and the Gaint world will bow to my power. But before then, I have to kill Patricia and dethrone Grover.
I laughed out loud, happy with my ideas. But how do I get to Patricia without getting past Spencer?..
Patricia’s POV
The doctor came out of the emergency unit, and we ran to him. “How is he, doctor?” Maggie asked in tears.
“He is out of danger, but he needs adequate rest,” He said, smiling.
“Thank you so much doctor,” Daniel said, shaking him.
“Can I see him?” Maggie asked the doctor.
“Yes, ma’am you can. Please excuse me,” he said and walked out.
Maggie moved into the emergency unit, so as Daniel and I saw Spencer laying on the bed with his eyes closed.
His stomach was tied with some white cloth. Maggie ran to him and held his hands.
“Spencer,” She called in tears.
He opened his eyes, slowly staring at the ceiling. “Baby,” she called and kissed him on his forehead.
He tilted his head to my direction and stared at me. I felt tears roll down my cheek as I looked at him.
“I am sorry,” I mumbled in tears. He pulled Maggie’s hand closer to his body; she bent and looked at him closely.
He whispered something into her ears, and she shot me a deadly look. She moved to our direction and whispered something into Daniel’s ear, still looking at me with disgust.
“I will be outside,” Daniel said, tapping my shoulders and moving out with Maggie. I looked at Spencer in confusion.
“Come to closer Patricia,” he said with a very low voice. I moved close to him with my teary face.
“Spencer,” I called, holding his hand and kissing the back of his palm. “I am sorry Spencer,” I said as tears fell down my face freely.
“Patricia, I heard it all,” he said, looking at me. I looked at him in surprise then looked away in shame.
“Why did you kept it from me?” He asked again, holding my hands.
“Spencer I am sorry, I didn’t want you to get involved in my problems. It supposed not to be known,” I said, squeezing his hands, trying not to burst out loud.
“He is my father Patricia,” he said as I saw tears roll down his face.
“Yes Spencer, I got to find out from your mother Ma’am Felicia,” I said sadly.
“I will help you find the seed,” he said, and my eyes widened immediately.
“No no no Spencer, it’s a dangerous decision. You could get killed, its a fight of two different worlds,” I said, shaking my head negatively.
“The traitor here is my father Patricia, the man that abandoned my mother and me for more than 20 years. He deserves to die!” He yelled and groaned in pain.
Maggie and Daniel ran into the were to see what happened. I moved back from him, and Maggie came closer to him.
“That’s my final decision,” he said, looking at me. I nodded slowly, and Maggie looked at me with a deadly look.
“Are you okay??” Daniel whispered into my ears. I nodded, trying to smile.
Daniel’s POV
“Patricia, don’t you think you need to rest?” I asked worriedly.
“No Daniel, Spencer is here because of me. I won’t rest till he is fine,” Patricia replied firmly.
“Go away bitch, you not needed,” Maggie yelled, coming close to Patricia. I was about stopping her from getting there when Spencer’s voice came.
“Don’t you dare touch her?” He said with great boldness, leaving Patricia and I amazed.
“Baby. She is the reason you are here and you defend her??” Maggie asked in anger.
“I will defend her till my last breath,” he said and looked at Patricia, whose lips curved into a smile.
