“Daddy”“Yes baby”“You told me that grandpa died”Oliver moved his eyes away from his tablet and stared at her “Yes, do you want to see his grave?”“I will love to”“Okay baby you will see it the day we visit the family house for now you need to finish your food so you won’t be late for school”“Okay” Cia looked at her plate of cereal, she was sitting on her own chair and table having breakfast while her father was sitting down at the breakfast table drinking coffee. She picked up her spoon and started playing with her food. “What is it baby? You don’t like the cereal?” Oliver asked when he saw she was playing with the food.“I like it”“Then why are you not eating?”“Because I wanted to ask you something” Oliver dropped his tablet then faced her fully “What do you want to ask daddy?”“What about grandma, your mother?” She blinked her lashes.Oliver was silent for a while because he was thinking of the best thing to say to her “She is far away”“Far away?“Yes Cia”“Where? Is she
She had spoken to her grandfather yesterday and he even came back to the office but did not think it was necessary to tell her that he was the CEO of RNA and wanted them to become business partners. Is this how he plans for them to reconcile by keeping things away from her?Her grandfather on the other hand did not think it wise to inform her about this. She slowly scrolled through the page in the tablet and read his information as the chairman of the RNA company that deals with construction. From what she was reading here, it shows here that he had founded the company from scratch in France three months after he had left country A. She scrolled down and read more information on it.Nuella handed back the tablet to Alma who was standing close to her. “What do you plan to do now ma’am?“Invite them for a meeting tomorrow”“Okay ma’am I will do that right away, is there anything else you want me to do ma’am?”“Reschedule my last meeting to 5pm, I will be having dinner later with some f
“I really missed you guys” Nuella said as they sat on their reserved table “I missed you too, I rushed with what I was doing so that I could come back, I missed Alicia as well, how is she asking of me?” Israel asked “I told her you guys are coming today and she was so excited”“I can’t wait to see her”“Her birthday is coming up soon, right? Mattthew asked“Yes, she will be turning three soon in a month time”“I need to think of what to get her for her birth” Israel said “Me too”She is growing up so fast isn’t she?“Way too fast, I which she could just behave like the child she is because sometimes she behaves like an adult” Nuella said and sighed Matthew and Israel both smiled “She is very smart, I wish I had such a child” Matthew couldn’t help but admit.“You can if you get a girlfriend and get married” Nuella teasedIsrael laughed when he saw the horrific look on Matthew’s face.“You should do same as well” Nuella said to Israel “I will skip”“Me too” Matthew said Nuella cou
Oliver has being keeping his mother in prison? She was shocked Nuella looked at the lady in front of her, how is she sure that this woman was saying the truth and about Mariana being in prison? Although nobody not even Oliver had talked about the whereabouts of his mother but she never ever thought that prison would be where she is.“How am I sure you are telling me the truth miss? “It’s Cynthia”“Alright miss Cynthia, how am I sure you are telling me the truth and you are not doing this for some other reason.“Some other reason? I won’t come all the way from C city to H city instead of being with my family just to come tell someone a lie” shd said seriously Nuella studied her closely and saw how sincere she looked “You mentioned you can come from C city, where you locked in the prison there?“Yes and that is where Marian is two”Nuella nods “What do you mean by Oliver has being keeping her in prison? Cynthia brought out a piece of paper from her pant pocket and headed it to Nuell
On her way home she thought about all Cynthia had told her. She is sure Oliver had forbidden anyone from speaking about her whereabouts which is why she knew nothing until today. Once in a while she gets to learn something new about her husband but that doesn’t take away the love she has for him. What she really wants to know now is why she is in prison and was sentenced to fifteen years and why Oliver still wants to keep her there. If she could remember clearly Grandma May had told her that she had caused the death of her son, that because of her a car ran him over so she doubts that is the reason why she is in prison.Should she confront Oliver about it? He always gets angry anytime she brings up a topic about his mother. Should she ask David or Alex about it? That would piss Oliver off. Should she go to C city and meet Mariana? Would it be safe to go see? Nuella thought to herself, she was really confused about what to do now, she has never been this confused in her entire life. A
The following morning the family of three sat at the breakfast table having their meal . Nuella ate her breakfast quickly, she did not want to keep on sitting on this table with Oliver who had been staring at her, they hadn't spoken a word to each other this morning and she could see how much it was eating him up, he was struggling with himself.Oliver has been busy staring at his wife who has completely avoided him. She slept in their daughter's room,leaving him all alone in the room last night because she was angry at him. Should he just tell her about his mother? It wasn’t like it would change anything.Cia pouted as she watched her mother avoid her father who has been trying to get her attention since breakfast started. She is smart enough to know the person at fault, it was her father.Alicia dropped her spoon and that was enough to gain the attention of her parents.“What is it baby, you don’t like the food” Nuella asked “I like it, but I don’t want to eat”“And why is that” Ol
“Why don’t you want me to go with you” He questioned with a frown on his face. He could not understand why she wanted to go to C city all of a sudden, he didn’t want her going there.“Because you really do not have to come, you have work here and who is going to look after Cia?”“She will come along”“And skip school”“Skipping school for a few days isn’t bad you know”“Not when her exams are coming up and traveling for 8 hours to a different time zone will be too stressful for her” C city and H city had different time zone with H city being 4 hours away from them.Oliver became silent, he was seriously looking for ways to make her not to go “I will ask Alison to look after her, they will take her to school everyday. We sure need an alone time don’t you agree?”Nuella shakes her head “You still haven’t reconciled with Alex after you both fought and also you still do not have a good relationship with my friends, so no, I will be going alone on Saturday to C city and will return on tue
“What!! Oliver’s mother contacted you?” Jena stood up for the couch and faced her. Nuella had told her the reason she came the moment she had settled down in her apartment.The apartment is not big enough to contain Israel and Matthew so they had to book a hotel, while Nuella stays with Jena in her apartment.“Yes”“So you mean to say that she is really in prison?”“Yes and according to what the lady had said, she has already served her time but Oliver is still keeping her in prison”“Don’t you think he has his reasons for making her remain in prison?”“I have thought about it, but Oliver isn’t telling me anything, this in the only opportunity I have to speak to his mother”“What if all this is a lie, don’t tell me you just believe whatever you were told by that woman? She might be in prison but what if she is evil and you coming to the prison to see her is all a trap”“You think I haven’t thought about all that and that I didn’t come with a plan?”Jena sat down back and faced her “Tr
