The little kids gathered at the playground playing with the swings and the sand. One kid, in particular, stood away from the park not interested in playing with his classmates. All he wanted was his Dada which up till now was nowhere in sight. Ten minutes passed and still no sign, the playground was becoming vacant. Mrs Shaw came out from the school building and was more than surprised to find the little kid whose mother took nothing less than two minutes to pick him up from school standing close the park with tears in his eyes. She decided to walk over to him. “Hey little one, where is your mother?” the little kid looked up at her with sad eyes and said “dada”. Mrs Shaw was confused, it was usually his mother who picked him up from school, so why was he saying “dada”. She hoped in her heart that his mother was okay Mrs Shaw picked up her phone from her purse and dialed Emma’s number but it went straight to voice mail she tried again three more times but it was the same reply. She be
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 37: A LEAP
The 9th of June. Two weeks after the death of Ryan. Emma stood in-front of the open window releasing her hand out to the cold breeze that brushed her tender skin. She shut her eyes trying to derive comfort from the overbearing heat that was burning her up from the inside that morning. It would have been Ryan's birthday today. He would have turned three today. Emma quickly cleaned the tears streaming down her cheeks with her left palm. She must be strong. She said. She had vowed to be strong even though the last two weeks had been the most difficult stage of her life. Her days became darker and she blamed fate for being unfair. She was dealing with the fact that she had been cheated by a husband and death snatched her son afterwards. It was almost as if hell was unleashed on her. As she stood by the open window, she imagined how Ryan would look in the next seven years, who would have been a big kid? Would he had been the chubby lively kid she knew? She thought. Would his dark hair st

Emma adjusted her black facing cap as she dragged her luggage behind. She never thought the casual outfit she was wearing could be this comfortable. After having Ryan three years ago, her body size increased and she often felt wide. She almost hated her body but later appreciated it as one of the gifts that come with motherhood. She hasn't gone back to her former shape since then. Her fitting clothes became uncomfortable and her tummy would bulge out of a dress. The brown sport trousers and large black sweater she now wore made her feel light. Her body felt relaxed and all she had to do was carry it along. She doesn't have to struggle to feel comfortable after all she thought. The last time she was in an airport was about a year ago when she, Gideon and little Ryan went to Brazil for a family vocation. The vocation was quite eventful as they had fun and enjoyed it as a one big happy family. She had loved Brazil since then. Even though Gideon had promised to take them on internationa
100 Days With Mr Romero CHAPTER 39: MEMORIES TO FORGET
It was exactly 7pm and Gideon Romero held the glass of whisky firmly against his palms. If only he could have held unto his family as firm as this, then maybe they would still be together. Ryan wouldn’t be dead, Emma wouldn’t have left and Gideon wouldn't look like shit. He honestly didn’t care how he looked at this a point. All he cared about was how many bottles of whisky he could drink to forget. He was on his second bottle and it was working hours. It’s the good thing he owned the company. He had specifically told Judy not to allow any visitors into his office, absolutely no one. He wanted to drink till he passed out. He was about pouring more whisky into his already empty glass when the door to his office opened. “I thought I told Judy no one was allowed innnnnn” Gideon slurred, his eyes fixed on the glass cup. “I’m not classified as anyone man,I’m your best friendddd” Roderick said mimicking Gideon. He was here for a reason. He had to get his best friend back, he was sick and

"Is there anything else you will need Ma'am? " Will asked Emma’s mother who sat on the couch sipping the tea he just made for her. She wrapped herself in a shawl and declined Will’s offer. The man had done more than enough for her and her husband since Emma’s departure. "Thanks for everything. God bless you my boy. " Pearl told William as he stood in the parlor, looking around to see if there was still anything left to be done. “Don't mention Ma'am. " he replied. "I'll check whether the guys I asked to clear the shrubs behind are done. " Will told Emma's mother before dashing out of the living room. "Such a good young man. " she acknowledged. Ever since Emma left, he had stepped in acting like the son or rather son in law they never had. Pearl missed Emma terribly but she knew her leaving town was the best and fastest way for her to heal yet it didn’t stop her from feeling the way she did. Her husband Emma's father had tried to console her explaining how important it was for their

Judy examined the well sealed tomatoes in their transparent pack. They looked perfect and their freshness was evident. Every ingredient must be perfect. She thought. She placed some vegetables in her shopping basket alongside a salmon and some spices. She ensured she left the grocery store after getting everything she will be needing. She carefully selected the ingredients paying attention to their freshness and she checked the expiry date of the packaged items she bought. She had never been so cautious while shopping until now. "Good morning. " She greeted Frankie after he had opened the door for her. His attention quickly drifted to the plastic bags she held. "If you won't let me in them help me at least. " she told him with a smile and Frankie quickly collected the bags from her. They got to the kitchen and Frankie was soon placing the things in order. "I'll take it from here Frankie. " Judy said.

Will woke up earlier than usual. He was already up before his alarm clock could sound the signal. It was the day he will be reporting for duty at the Dan Delivery Services. He freshened up and was soon dressed in his work uniform with the inscription DDS boldly written in the back. He placed his wallet in his pocket and a DDS identity card with his name on it was around his neck. He made noodles and ate it before mounting the delivery bike given to him a day earlier. As Will drove to the Dan Delivery Services main office, he wondered how his first day at work will turn out. He recalled his first day at work in Emma’s house. He wasn't bothered because all he had to do was drive his friend around whom he was well accustomed with. Sometimes, he drove the few domestic staff on errands in Gideon's mansion. Today, he will be driving supplies instead. He prayed in his heart that his first day turns out easy as he intends to please whichever receiver he was delivering to. He pulled his bike

She was seated on a the bare floor and both her hands were tied behind her. She slowly opened her eyes but everywhere seemed to be covered with fog. Emma then spotted a man sitting at a desk looking right at her. She tried to see his face from where he was but she couldn’t. She forced her eyes open and felt that her kidnapper looked familiar. Then the man gradually stood up and approached her. Emma immdeately recognized him and she gasped in surprise. "Will? " she called out to him. He walked closer to her, smiled at her then bent down to where she was on the floor and caressed her face. "What are you doing here? " she asked him looking around the whole place.

Gideon walked into the office that morning smiling like a high school boy who had just fallen in love. He greeted everyone he came in contact with that morning which his members of staff found shocking. During the usual weekly briefing they have in the office on mondays, Gideon kept smiling throughout the whole period and his staff wondered whether he had found new replacements for the business partners who pulled out. While the weekly briefing was ongoing, Gideon kept thinking about his dance with Emma and the jokes they cracked last night. He was glad she had forgiven him. After he returned back to his office, Gideon made up his mind to invite Emma for lunch in a restaurant of her choice. What if she thinks he was flirting with her? he thought but still decided to try his luck. Meanwhike in the main head office of LIA'S bars, Emma was having goose bumps.

After the event at the museum, Gideon accompanied Emma to her car and waved at her. Then, he got into his car and his driver Mel took him home. In her room, Judy held her phone, staring at the photo of Emma and Gideon taken at the museum that night by the strange man who walked in. Tears were streaming down Judy's cheeks and dripping on her phone which she was managing to hold still. Her hands were shaking and she was boiling with rage. She felt her heart aching and her head felt as if it was on fire. She began to shake violently. She tightened her fists, hit it against the wall and she began to bleed. "No. " Judy screamed in agony and broke into a torrential overflow kneeling on her bed. She hit the phone on the wall and the screen came off. She tore the book beside her on the bed into tiny bits and scattered it across her room. She placed her back against the wall and cried her heart out. How could Gidoen do this to me? She thought and the the image of them dancing together f

Emma turned to Gideon with her perfectly sculpted eyebrow raised. She walked closer to him. "Why did you do that for? " she aksed him. Gideon immediately grinned at Emma and looked left. She began to smile and Gideon didn't notice her. "I just saved your life ma'am. " Gideon said. "What? " blurted Emma and she giggled. Then she bursted out laughing and Gideon smiled. He loved the way she was laughing. He missed the sound of her laughter. "I miss this. " Gideon told her staring directly into her eyes. "I miss our usual fun filled banter. " he said and Emma nodded. She missed it too. "You remember how I helped you fix your tie that day? " began Emma. "I do. " agreed Gideon with a nod. "I was so tensed and that I day if u recall, I was to sign a huge partnership with DIVINE whiskey. " recollected Gideon. "You were so restless that you forgot how to fix a tie instantly.

After ordering Martin to get the wine from LIA'S, Gideon went back to his office and sat. Judy followed him. "We got the deal Judy. " he told her with a smile. Judy gave a false smile. "Get the necessary things in order. Ensure the best bar tendants are sent there. I'll be present at the event. " Gideon hinted. "Yes sir. " Judy replied and walked out of his office. Judy wanted to ask Gideon what transpired between him and Emma, how he convinced her to sell the wine to him and how he was able to make the transaction quick but she didn't wanted to make it obvious to him that she was anxious. She went back to her office and continued doing the work he assigned to her. Immediately Gideon left Emma's office, she got a phone call from the museum management. "Of course I'll be there sir.

"You mean you are going to Emma for a transaction? " Judy asked. Gidoen nodded. "Oh come on Gideon. That woman is after you. " argued Judy. "She will kick you out I bet. " she added. "I might as well try. " maintained Gideon. Judy left his office angrily. What on earth could she do at the moment to stop them from meeting? she thought. Back in his office, Gideon was pondering. If he goes to Emma's office, she might shut him out? he thought. Since she was after his downfall lately, he was sure she wouldn't assist him yet he still felt the need to try. He got up quickly from his chair, alerted his driver and they were soon on their way to her office. As he sat parallel the car, he kept dismissing the thought that was seducing him to go back. If he doesn't prove to the museum management that he could handle the deal, he might never be contacted again and after all the loses he was making lately, he needed this deal to click. "We are here sir. " his driver announced parking the car

" Frankie greeted the moment he walked in. "Your breakfast is ready. " he said. Frankie wasn't sure whether Gideon will have the meal yet he tried his luck. Throughout last month, Gidoen had been skipping meals and when Frankie places it for him on his table, he barely touches it. This is as a result of the crises he was having with his business. Since after the accident in the bat tub, Frankie noticed a sense of cheerfulness radiating around Gideon so he decided to try his luck with the breakfast that morning.
