Chapter Eighteen
I sighed and did a little bit of stretching in my chair, my shoulders hurt and my eyes were blur.I stared at the laptop but I couldn't read anything else, I leaned back and my eyes fell shut.
I never intended to stay this long at the office but after what happened between me and Gale in the morning, I felt so frustrated and stressed.
I just wanted to bury my self in working so I couldn't think much in to things like I alwa
Chapter NineteenIt's during these moments like these that I think Gale is too understanding for his own good. He had asked me to spend another night away from him only to be sure that I had finally decided to stay by his side.I don't know if I will ever get used to Sarah's presence cause she scares me. I was starting to give up on pleasing her. Gale loved me and that's all that matters, as long as he keeps fighting for me I also won't stop fighting for him.
Chapter TwentyI took a seat in my office chair and looked up at Kenneth, he was staring at me with worry. "Are you sure, you can work today?" He questioned as I leaned back in my chair. I felt a head ache start to rise and my eyes fell shut."Don't worry I will manage " I replied. I realised that I had never got a chance to see this humble and caring side of Kenneth. A slow smile crept on to my face, "I didn't know you had this soft sid
Chapter Twenty OneSpending the night at the orphanage with my mother Pauline helped me a lot, I felt calm and refreshed by the time I got back to work.Truth be told I didn't want to leave her gentle hold yet, I wanted to stay there and listen to her words of wisdom. I just wanted to forget the harsh world around me.When I arrived at the office, I didn't expect today to be the day I would meet Kenneth Carlin Rogers Senior. Yes I had found out he was alive and requested for an appo
Chapter Twenty TwoMr. Rogers stared at me with a bit of affection, it felt like he was trying to read my emotions " I also feel the same way when I think about her " He whispered and I nodded " Please continue " I whispered. Every bit of me was yearning to know more, maybe I will find out who my father is"Pauline came to look for me that day, she went to my parents house where she had worked before and they told her that I had left, She got my address and came looking for me. It was already in the middle of the night and I was surprised to see her with a child at th
Chapter Twenty ThreeWhen I walked in here I thought I was late only to find that Gale himself hadn't arrived yet.He had booked a table at the second floor by the balcony, the view was nice. It felt like I had the map around every sky scraper in the city.But soon I realised that it had been an hour and Gale was no where to be found, the breeze blew hard and I felt goose bumps rise on my skin.I grabbed my phone and dialed his number, waiting patiently I realised his phone was off. I tried again and again, I searc
Chapter Twenty FourI had never been in such situation in all my life, was this how life has got to be for me."Why " Another word escaped my lips, I was still standing at the front of the airport with a bit of hope that maybe Gale would come out at the sound of my voice from this end of the phone.It had been almost five minutes on this call and he still hasn't said a thing, I knew deep inside that he was listening and this gave me hope to say more but what was I to say.I was so empty on words to say, how am I to
Chapter Twenty FiveSitting across Gale like this made me so relieved, I looked down at my cup of coffee then up at him.He was also staring at me waiting for me to start talking, I could see the curiosity in his eyes. Lowering my eyes again, I was willing to explain but I also had questions."What you saw was nothing like what you thought " I whispered faintly. Well I guess I have to start from the beginning."Today I met Mr. Rogers " I whispered, it was now that I realised this day was so long. Looking up at cloc
Chapter Twenty SixEven though I was so tired and sleepy I was finding it so hard to sleep. It wasn't because I was uncomfortable, for God's grace I had changed everything in our bedroom. Anything that smelled like Rebecca, I removed it and some point thought I was mad especially when I was throwing out all the bathroom staff, I suspected her to have used.But still I was finding it hard to sleep, I turned to Gale and he was already fast asleep. It was now when I started begging sleep to come to me but still no reply.I sat up with a sigh and got off
Chapter FortyAfter three years I was finally stable again in my life. I had heeled completely and well life was moving on, after that day when all I did was shout at Rebecca I managed to calm down for a while and went back to see her.And well though we weren't as close as before we are at least friends once again and all that happened in the past can't be changed.It isn't easy to forgive but I knew that in my way to a better life this had to happen so I would visit her every weekend just to show her that I am still by her if she's really
Chapter Thirty NineAfter waking up I thought that healing would take a long time but to my and my doctor's surprise I was healing at a first pace, chemotherapy didn't thrash me like before and am so glad about it. It could never be easy but I was willing to go through it after seeing everyone I love support me through it all.When Gale died everyone last saw me during his funeral and after that I disappeared from people, I got trapped in my own darkness not realising that my actions made them so worried about me.Though am not sure about who leaked news about am at least happy that every one is here especially mother Pauli

Chapter Thirty SevenI looked up at Gale, my eyes locked with his while my hands tightened around the flower banquet that I was holding."Gale Hilton do you take Amelia Rose to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish. To respect her as your woman and to stay by her side in richness and poor, in sickness and health until death do you apart ? " Gale turned to look at the magistrate then back at me " Yes I do " he replied with a smile of his own." Amelia Rose Rogers do you take Gale Hilton to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and cherish. To respect him as your man and to s
Chapter Thirty SixI stared at the beautiful girl in the mirror for the umpteenth time, her dark hair up in a curly burn with tendrils on both sides of her face. Her emerald eyes stood out with the highlight of mascara. They had grey specks in them that sparkled like stars of the night, her lips enchanting with the pink lipstick while her skin was glowing.She was wearing a beautiful white dress that stopped above her knees, its straps sleeveless with a V shape at the front and the back, with a white belt after the V and then a wild skirt.With white

Chapter Thirty FourI know me and Gale had already set everything for the wedding, mother Pauline said she would be able to get a beautiful dress for me and am glad I have her.Maggie and Jennifer offered to cook and prepare the most beautiful party for us, I knew they could manage cause I didn't have that many people to invite.I had also sent a card to Kenneth, I was really suspicious of him but because we have the same blood in our veins I was so willing to forget all that he did and try to make things right.In
Chapter Thirty ThreeBeing at home to recuperate isn't easy especially if you're not used to it, there's no more waking up so early so coming in late, the only thing to do is sleep.Though I hate this, it has kind of helped me and Gale to fully mend our relationship, it has given me a chance to know more about him that I didn't know from the beginning.But in all this I never felt any kind of regret or anything that makes me think otherwise of our relationship, he was my perfect man and well I could see a better future in front of
Chapter Thirty Two"Then... He brought me here and showed me this place though I was still intent on not taking this offer but I had to when I discovered that this was left to you by your mom " Gale added feeding my curiosity."What ?" I stated looking around this place once again."Mommy left this for me " I asked again, today must be my lucky day since it's only good news since morning."It's one of those properties she left for you, Mr. Rogers promised to come in the morning and explain everything to you" Gale a
