The President Broken Angel

The news was all over the city by evening, Mrs. Pinnock canceled Jhonia meeting the other wives of her status as she seemed to be angry with her identity being leaked to the press but she was in her room learning how to master the cruelty of heels.

“Ah… Why is it so hard?” Jhonia asked as she took a break, she took a seat on the single sofa.

“Keep practicing Ms. Jhonia, and you will master it in no time.” Crissian said, with a smile Jhonia looked up at her standing across the room. Jhonia returned the smile and checked her phone.

“I can’t believe they still got a photo of me, thanks for taking my size and went to get the shoes without anyone knowing for me.” Jhonia said, then she thanked Crissian, she smiled and nodded while Jhonia kept checking her phone. Crissian cleared her throat, and Jhonia looked up from the phone at her.

“Actually. It was Orean, Mrs. Pinnock’s driver. Who went out to buy them, I just explained to him the ones Mrs. Pinnock would want you to wear.”

Crissian said, explaining why she was not caught by Mrs. Pinnock. It was because it was her but the driver who went to get the shoes.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“I see well, I will thank him also for getting them for me.” Jhonia said, taking a stand adding she will thank him also. She then began walking around again, this time she seemed to get a hang of it as she was now only realizing that it was about balance. Pretending she was in flat shoes, but paying attention to her steps. As if she was just learning how to ride a bike.

“Yes! Ms. Jhonia, you did it.” Crissian said, clapping her hands softly cheering her on. Jhonia removes the shoe finally and then realizes she got a few tender spots on her feet.

“You are going to need ice for that! Also, I will bring you your meal.” Crissian said, adding she will bring her dinner there before leaving the room. After some time she returned with Jhonia meal and ice pack but she realized that Jhonia was asleep and she left silently.

Next day, noon!

Jhonia practiced from morning till noon when her breakfast was brought to her, but she decided to wear the heels downstairs for lunch. Mrs. Pinnock was so happy, she clapped her hands up to Jhonia and hugged her.

“You are looking beautiful, and the heels. When?” Mrs. Pinnock complimented her and asked? Pulling away from their hug and looking at Jhonia’s feet with a smile.

“Yesterday, where is Nearce?” Jhonia responded and asked? Because she knew he didn’t sleep with her and she was in her room all morning.

“He is at the office if you wish to see him”

“I don’t! My photo was taken and put up in the media, me going to his office right after, people will know it’s me… Let’s wait for some time before I start doing so, hmm?”

Jhonia said cutting her off, Mrs. Pinnock thought about it and nodded in agreement after she explained herself.

“Okay. Let’s go ahead and have lunch, keep practicing, soon you will be running in them very soon.” Mrs. Pinnock said to Jhonia telling she will be running in them soon. They smiled as they walked towards the dining hall.

“I know this might be weird, but could you pay off the media to remove the photo of me? Mrs. Pinnock, if you decide to disagree with me, first, please listen. When I lost my parents and woke up in the hospital! There was a camera when the cops came to hear what happened from what I remember… There was this one male officer in particular who kept putting the camera in my face and telling me to please look at the camera. I have had a way with cameras since then… The news can continue but could the photo please be removed?” Jhonia asked? But also explained her reason why? Mrs. Pinnock kept smiling at her before she stood up!

“Jhonia dear, I think there is something you need to see!” Mrs. Pinnock said and walked away from her. Jhonia, sat at the table waiting and listening to Mrs. Pinnock’s shoes. tick tock, going back to the living hall and returning. She reaches up to the table and sits down with Jhonia, she hands Jhonia her tablet to Jhonia.

“I think your husband, my son, is ahead of you or us. He was so upset about it yesterday, and when you didn’t take food he was even more upset. I think he likes you regardless of this contract.” Mrs. Pinnock said and smiled at Jhonia as she looked down at the tablet. Jhonia top the play on the screen, it started with Nearce back turned walking away from the camera.

“Mr. Pinnock. How long have you been married? Why is this a secret?” A female reporter asks? Nearce stopped suddenly. He turned around and faced the reporters.

“How long I have been married is no one’s concern. She is no secret however, she doesn’t like being in the center of attention.” Nearce said, and explained to the reporter before turning away to leave the cameras started to flash more follows up with more questions.

“Why do you keep her a secret if she is so beautiful? Are you keeping your wife a secret because she is the third person? Or is it that she was placed on a surgical table?” A male reporter asked his questions and everyone became suspicious, suddenly, agreeing with the male reporter.

“How would you like to be fired for falsely accusing my wife of surgery? For your information she doesn’t like to wear make-up, do you see surgical women not wearing make-up? My wife has her past just like everyone else, having a camera in her face while she’s forced to look into it! She doesn’t like to be the center of attention, like I said, before. Now find someone else to feed off and leave my life and wife, alone. Send them away.”

Nearce said to the report and asked him, he then goes on to explain as the cameras keep flashing, and questions keep asking? Even after he had walked away. He ignored them all. While security stopped the reporters from going further than the company front.

“He seems angry… When did they ask if I was the third person? Yet he didn’t respond to it, I wonder why?” Jhonia questioning the fact that he skipped answering that question? But she quickly put the tablet away and began to eat her lunch, joining Mrs. Pinnock. Later that day! Nearce returned while Jhonia was upstairs, Nearce met his mother while he was going up! She stopped him by his arm.

“You skipped a question asked by the reporter today, Jhonia noticed, and asked why you didn’t respond to it? I hope you will explain to her, why?.” Mrs. Pinnock said to him explaining and walked away after letting his arm go. Nearce leans his eyebrows with confusion.

“What skipped question?” He asked himself as he walked up the stairs and entered the room. Jhonia stood by the window in the tinted windows and dim lights.

“Hey!” Nearce said, walking over to her. Immediately he wrapped his arms around her, placing his chin into the space between her shoulder bones.

“Ah.. You skipped a question, I just want to remind you. Also, I would like it if you do not touch me before you shower when you arrive home.” Jhonia said to him, turning around to him… He realizes that she is holding a cup of warm tea. Jhonia kisses him on the cheek.

“Welcome home… You have late-nighters across the street.” Jhonia said to him after the kiss, she added, as she walked away from him, alerting him of the reporters outside. Nearce was a bit confused so he kept looking out the window where he saw a black car parked in the spot of their window. He smirked and walked away from the window. After taking a shower and had dinner he went to bed next to Jhonia.
