Chapter 2 Julia is driven away

As the footsteps and voices drew closer, Julia quickly lay back and pretended to still be unconscious. The door opened and someone said 'the idiot is still unconscious, she and that her evil mom are pretenders! They killed my son and left the company in bankruptcy. Julia recognized the voice immediately, it was her grandfather Augustine!

Then she heard another voice lower this time. 'Doctor, is it possible to inject her to death? Just give her anything as far as it kills her and name your price we are ready to pay anything! A feminine voice Julia could not recognize said. Julia almost gasped in shock, she was just a 16 years old harmless teenager! What threat could she possibly pose to them? Then the doctor sighed, I will do it for you but lets go talk about the price at my office. Then the voices faded away.

Julia's eyes flew open! Alarmed! She needs to find a way out of here! Or she will be killed! She tried jumping through the window, but her room was on the second floor. There was no way she will land without breaking her legs. As she looked for alternatives, she heard footsteps. She quickly ran back to the bed and pretended to be unconscious once more. The doctor walked in and headed towards her. Time seemed to stand still for Julia, her family was gone and now she was next! Her blood boiled! Without thinking anymore, she opened her eyes and saw the male doctor preparing to inject her.

She grabbed the syringe from his hand and threw it out through the window leaving the doctor stunned. Before he could react, she has headed for the door and ran outside. Shit! He exclaimed and tried to pursue her but he couldn't find her anymore. Meanwhile, Julia ran down the stairs and out of the hospital to the road. The hospital was a good distance away from her home and it was the city general hospital. She didn't have any money on her to board a taxi so she began to trek.

As she walked on, she began to sob uncontrollably, people gave her weird looks but she didn't mind because they didn't know the pain she was going through at that moment. After trekking for about an hour, she sat on the walkway and pulled out the note from her pocket. It was stained with blood! Her mother blood! She buried her head in between her legs and wept. She fell asleep on the walkway. The next morning, she woke up to someone tapping her. It was a handsome guy, are highschooler.

He was dressed in his uniform, if it were to be the former version of herself, she would have complimented his good looks. 'Are you okay? He asked. She nodded and quickly stood up muttered a thank you and walked away. Few hours later, she arrived at the villa she called home. As she rang the bell, an unknown face answered. 'Welcome Julia! The entire family has been expecting your' the unfamiliar lady said with a wicked grin. Julia slowly walked in, to her utmost surprise all her father's family members were present! And her belongings were shoved towards her as soon as she stepped in. 'What's going on? She asked in anger. Her grandmother stood up and slowly walked up to her.

'You and your bitchy mother has done the worst you can do to the kington family. She killed my son, liquidated the family group and purchased properties in her name! But today........where is she? No more! Dead! Her grandmother shouted in her face. Julia couldn't take it anymore! Her fists clenched and she shouted 'my mother didn't kill anybody! You all here are gold diggers reaping what you did not sow. That company was given to my dad when it was at the brink of collapse! My mom was with him in the rain, and the sun to build that company to what it is today! Yet after they died all of you dogs and bitches all ran here hoping to gain out of their demise! I hate you all! We are suppose to be family, but we can't because only greed dwell in your hearts! Julia shouted and began to pant because she was exhausted.

Her grandmother laughed hysterically, 'you little imp! You have the temerity to speak to me in that manner? Alright let me see how long that pride will last! She shouted. 'Jim! Jim! Take this girl and throw up and her belongings out of this villa! If i ever see her again, you will have yourself to blame! Her grandmother shouted to the gatekeeper who grabbed Julia and began to drag her out the villa. 'No! No! You cant do this! This is my father's villa.........! She shouted but she was still thrown out of the villa with nothing but her phone,clothes and the note.

Julia was angry and confused. She banged on the villa gates till her hands hurt. She sat on the floor, she felt like crying but she was too angry for that. The tears simply refused to come out. She began to reminisce about her family.....peace loving people who couldn't hurt a fly. Before Julia broke out of her thoughts, it was getting dark. She couldn't locate Aunty Maria because she knew surely she will be thrown out. As she stood up thinking about where to go spend the night, she saw her best friend at school Martha heading towards her house. 'Julia! What are you doing outside your house? Are you alright? Why are your belongings on the road? Where are your parents? I've been trying your line for the past two days it has not been going through...........

Tears ran down her cheek she quickly kept quiet. Julia sighed heavily. She began to narrate all she had gone through since the last two days. Martha's hands were on her mouth my the time Julia finished narrating her ordeal.

Martha was speechless for some moments......

'Julia am so sorry about your parents...but for the now you have gone through what even an adult will be traumatized by. Please come stay with me.....please. Martha begged fervently.
