Alethea squealed in excitement as she held her friend's hand in joy. "The good news," she said with teary eyes. "Does this mean I get to be a maid of honour twice?" she asked holding her breath before adding quickly. "Only if you want to" she added wondering if she had just pushed her luck. Jeanne would have thousands of people she might want to ask."Of course, you have to be my maid of honour, I would not have any other person do it" Jeanne responded in joy."And what about me?" Aletta asked as she walked into the dining room hand in hand with Joshua."How do you expect me to have a married woman be my maid of honour?" Jeanne asked rolling her eyes playfully."Wait you think we would get married before you?" Aletta asked tilting her head."I actually do not mind the order but I am not interested in getting married in the cold" Jeanne said. Joshua chuckled and shook his head. "Of course, I was almost deceived that you cared about your brother for a moment there" "And of course, my
Everyone turned around to see Anette standing there, She tilted her head as she saw faces she did not recognize. "What are you doing here so early in the morning" Jeanne was trying her absolute best to not sound bitter. She had forgiven Anette but she knew that the pain she caused her could not just go away overnight. She needed a little more time to heal. "I am so sorry for showing up unannounced but I brought invitation cards" Anette said cautiously as she approached the table. She had apologized but she was sure it would not be that easy to forgive her. "I hope I am not intruding on anything?" she asked as she stopped at the table. The silence in the room was so bad that anyone could tell that there was something wrong in that place. "Of course not" Aletta finally said stretching her hand to get the invitation from her. Anette blessed Aletta in her heart for breaking the dead silence they had just experienced. "Oh yeah," Anette fidgeted with the card in her hand as she hand
"You seem like you have a lot to say," Jessica said after they had been sitting for a while. She had waited for her to stop crying before she spoke. The full bawling had become stifled sounds and Jessica knew it was the right time to press her. "I do, I just don't know how to start" Anette let out in tears. It was as if as she opened her mouth the tears were opened once again so the bawling began and Jessica went into a full consoling mode. "I know you hate me, I would hate me too" she added in between sobs. "Hate you? Honey, why would you think that?" Jessica was now disturbed because such a lovely girl was saying such things. "Why would I hate you?" she added. Anette took a deep breath to steady herself before she continued to speak. "I only did those things because my mom told me that you promised I would be the one to get married to Joshua. I indeed developed a crush on Joshua while growing up, who won't? He had always been such a gentleman." Anette said before pausing once mor
Anette joined them for breakfast and after that, she left to go home. Somehow everyone dispersed and left. Joshua and Thiago left for work even though Jeanne whined on reasons they should not go, both men were adamant about keeping their perfect record like they were marking attendance at work.Jessica, Xavier and Eunice took to the living room to discuss the wedding while Aletta, Alethea and Jeanne went ahead to discuss their plans. Jeanne began to show suggestions to Aletta on wedding gowns and decor."Are you going to use a planner? Want me to suggest one to you?" Jeanne asked when Aletta looked overwhelmed by the variety of options and the long list of things to do as well."Yes please" Aletta said letting out a sound of relief.Jeanne laughed as she took up her phone to tap away, finally, she stopped and then dialled a number before putting it on her ear. The first w=ring was barely done before the call was connected as if the receiver was waiting so earnestly for the call."Hell
TIME JUMP TWO WEEKSAnette's wedding was in two days and Leslie had not found any opportunity to carry out her plan she had taken time to plan. She had diclofenac that would cause her daughter to bleed out the baby. She was going to do all within her power to ensure that the wedding did not hold, there was no way her daughter would marry that man. Leslie stood at Anette's door and stared intently at the drugs in her hand. "This is all for you my dear daughter" she murmured looking down before raising her head with a sinister smile lining her face. She knocked and pushed the door open, Anette was sitting on the bed with a happy smile across her phone as her eyes darted from one end of the phone to the other. "Anette?" Leslie said trying to catch her daughter's attention."Oh Mom, I did not hear you come in," Anette said pressing the power button of her phone to shut it off before she placed it on the bed and shifted in her seat. She rubbed her belly lightly, in a few days she would s
Hello Everyone I am not a medical practitioner so I don't know the way these things work. I have only written from my research and experience. Thank you for reading (Inserts Heart emoji) Andrew was pacing up and down outside the emergency room, the doctors had told him to excuse them while they tried to save his sister. His mom was nowhere to be seen as she did not come with them to the hospital. His mind roamed back to what she said when he asked her to call an ambulance. She refused with a violent head shake and stood back watching her daughter groan in pain while she bled away. When the ambulance arrived she had refused to get in and he could not help but suspect that she had something to do with what was happening to Anette. He wanted to dig into it but he had to make sure his sister was okay first. It had been well over an hour and yet he had not heard anything from the doctors. He was hoping she and the baby were fine. "Where is she?" Richard asked storming in. Andrew ha
"Why are you apologizing?" Richard asked as he approached her as she sobbed in the bed. She was shaky so uncontrollably. Richard reached out to her and wrapped his arms around her her body now lost in his. "I did this, how was I so careless?" she said in between sobs. The baby was one of the most important things to her at the moment and she could not believe she had somehow managed to allow it to slip out her hand. "You did not do anything, I am sure we will get to the bottom of this soon" he said trying to console her. He was distraught but he was sure it could be nothing compared to how she felt at that time. He turned back to see that Andrew had left the room. "Hello Dad" Andrew mumbled over the phone. After seeing his mom's reaction he knew the only thing he could do was to call his Dad. "Hey bud, what brings you to call me" "It's about Anette, she is in the hospital after she lost her baby and I think mom has something to do with it" "To do with what?" Brian asked feeli
"Can you explain everything you witnessed?" Andrew raised his head as he dragged his hands along his trousers. He wanted to speak with his mom first but Richard was not having any excuses. The cops were going to interrogate him first before they went on to do the same for both Anette and Leslie. "Please in detail" the cop added. Andrew angled his neck back a bit to see his father standing there. He motioned to encourage him to talk. Andrew took a large gulp before nodding. "So I got back home from work and I noticed that something was being cooked but as soon as I entered the kitchen I realised that it was already done. It was strange to me because no one had cooked anything in that house in the past three weeks?" "And why is that?" the cop asked cutting him off from saying anything further. The man wanted to get a clear picture of the situation. "That's a private family matter that is irrelevant to the case" Andrew jumped to defend his family, he would not be the one to air his f
