ANNA POV.....The following morning, ever since my conversation with Adam concerning my brother, I was kinda moved to visit him too at the prison. I haven't been there for a long time and I was kinda also sure that he was gonna be excited to see me after a very long time.." Good morning, miss Anna". Joshua, the guards at the front desk was thrilled to see me at the prison visiting my brother. He should be, because the last time I came, I kinda promised him that I wasn't going to ever come back. A lot of time has passed and I can't seem to each off the conversation I had with Adam, my foolish ex boyfriend who seem to continue invading my marriage to Lucas..Joshua asked the guards standing at the visitation room to walk me to one of the chairs, while he leaves and brings my brother out from his cell. I sat there and was kinda looking forward to meeting my baby brother after so many years has past since we met each other..The thought of my brother being excited to finally see me vi
I had to listen to Adam speak to me about my husband, things I didn't even know existed were already happening in my face..." So! That's what happened?". After explaining everything to me, he conculded with that.." Hmm! I see" I grinned and walked out of his room..It became extremely exhausting and painful, finding out that my husband would refrain and hold such a delicate information from me. And as if that wasn't the worse part in the whole matter, the entire problem became more problematic when Adam confirmed to me that my husband had asked Adam to have sex with me and I'd unintentionally give birth to another man's child..Lucas came to the room and when he saw me seated on the bed, he asked me, " what happened, Is everything okay?".And as much as I would've loved to answer that question, I had to refrain and control my emotions from talking about what Adam had just told me.." I'm good, why do you ask?". I pretended like everything was fine. ." Nothing, your emotion was d
In the evening, Lucas had just come back from the office and there was something I noticed. He was reeking off a lady's perfume and there's how a lady's mind is programmed _ when something triggers the mind of believe that a particular something is going on, it takes a clear conversation or impulsion to know the truth." What?" He stoped and only looked at my face.." Nothing, how was the office today?". For it not to cause a rift between the two of us, I immediately rearranged the way I look.." Hmm! It was good, thanks for asking Baby". He came near and left a kiss on my forehead..I smiled back in a loving manner and then watched him roam about the room and fat freshened up for the evening..We were later called for dinner, Lucas and I both came downstairs the same time, we bumped Into Adam on the way there..Lucas and Adam shared a friendly look with each other, while I just remained at their back and observed the way they both talk with eachother..My mother-in-law was in
I got to my husband's office and was taken in by his secretary, Diana and I haven't been best of friends and it didn't matter how far we might've become mortal enemies, I still wouldn't hold back from knowing the truth.." Diana, how are you doing?". I started by having small talks with her." Good, is there something you might want?". She kept her face serious with me .It was so evident that she didn't want to continue having the conversation..But nevertheless, I still needed too and it didn't matter how she felt.." What do you think?" I became nervous, didn't know if I should ask her questions about her boss. She might act like a crazy bitch atimes, it was the risk I was willing to take.." Is there some certain lady who has been frequently visiting your boss?". I gathered up the courage and asked her. .She wasn't sure, I could tell from the way she kept her face. Diana had no idea what I was talking about, and it didn't matter to her how I knew about the lady and she doesn'
I came to the hospital and her daughter was estatic to see me, " I've missed you, aunty". She demonstrated by asking me to come sit beside her bed. I came and rue was standing at the corner and she witnessed everything without even saying a single word..I don't want to say anything about it, but ever since my argument with her mother, things has been the same way it used to be between us ." Anna, can I ask you about something?". She asked me.." Sure?" I said..We couldn't talk in the room, so we went outside to have the conversation.." Firstly, I'd like to apologise" she began by seeking for my forgiveness. Rue has been asking for my forgiveness and it didn't matter what happened, I don't think I'd forgive her for sleeping with Adam when we were still together.." I understand, but what is the problem?". I asked her, she took her time and then replied to my question by telling on the delimma she has had with her husband, the constant arguments and the fact that Chris was still
We were asked by one of the doctors taking care of my husband, it took them more than our to speak about what was happening. We were later asked to go and meet my husband in his ward. " Hey, family". He was happy to find us in his room. His mother approached him, she placed one hand on his face and her eyes started to bring tears..She became emotional upon seeing her son at the hospital and his legs brokened..." Mom! Am fine, don't worry about me". Lucas promised her.." Really! What happened to you?". She asked him, I was curious to know what was happening and so was Adam." Oh! I had an accident". He asked me.." What caused the accident? Where you drinking?". The look on his mother's face changed. Lucas explained to us that he wasn't drunk, he was driving back home when he accidently bumped into a car that came out from nowhere .That seemed like a storytell, but judging from the expression on his face and wounds on his face, hand and legs? It was evident that he wasn'
We all came back to the family, Rue was Asher to seat next to her husband, and even though she didn't want to do it, there was a strange compulsion, she knew that she needed to seat beside her husband and not try to fight against it. " Hey! Let's eat". Mother-in-law said after Mona finished in setting up the table. She was the only person my family and I trusted, and even though the work load seems pressurable, we still find a way to assist her in doing some of the house chores around the house.Rue was asked to say a short prayer and after she was done, we picked up our spoons and began to eat .Lucas and his mother were seating beside each other, I had to share corners with Adam and rue had to endure the death threats from her husband. Her daughter on the other hand joined us shortly and she seemed to have laid friends with Mona's daughter.. Mona's a divorced lady, once married to an abusive husband, but after divorcing him, it was only safe that she and her daughter moves into
It was the following morning, Lucas and I came downstairs for breakfast, everyone was there except for Adam. No one seem to ask of his whereabouts, but my mother-in-law could not resist the temptation of not knowing where Adam had gone too. .Mona didn't seem to know, but judging from the look on her face, it was Kinda noticeable that she might know where he went too but doesn't want to tell us about it. So after breakfast, I helped her in the kitchen and the only reason for assisting was to ask some questions.." Mona, do you know where Adam is?" I asked her the same question.And once again, she had the same declined look on her face, but it was so evident that she knew where Adam had gone. " Mona, please, tell me the truth". I begged her to open up to me. She might not open up to others, but could as well try to open up to me ." Fine! He said that he had something important to do". She opened up but that didn't feel like the entire truth.." Something important to do? Do y
Luckily, Mom came and she was successful enough to change the topic and Mr Kent from searching my cellphone.. I was back to my bedroom and Lucas was there trying to button his t-shirt, looking at the way he was dressed, it was so evident that he was heading out..." Good day to you". I smiled and then assisted him with his buttons...He thanked me, but before leaving the Room, he kinda saw the ciunetaj on my face and then was generous enough to ask me questions about it..." What happened, Why do you look sad?" He stopped and then turned his attention on me..I never wanted to share with him about my encounter in Mr Kent's house, however, it was evident that I tell him; so he could be able to prepare for what's coming...I told him everything but all he could say was." What! I don't think that's a big deal". He spoke and then left me misunderstanding myself. Anyone in his shoes would become upset and hateful about what I had just told them, my husband thought that it wasn't a bi
It came as a great shock when Lucas explained everything to me. He wasn't just kidnapped by Mr Kent, he was told several things that has caused him to behave in such a disruptive manner. " Hey, don't worry, everything will be fine". I consoled him as we laid on the bed..After that, I went downstairs for a glass of water, that was what I came to do until I caught Chris having an intimate conversation with his mother at the kitchen.." Son, I think we should leave Lucas and his family alone". Mrs Gena told her son.She has never been in good terms with my mother and this has been their normal routine.."No! I cannot leave my friend and his family alone with Mr Kent". Chris made his stance clear to her. Anyone in her shoes wouldn't instigate any further, but she continued and even promised to do whatever Chris wanted if her request was being accepted..." Hmm! What do you think?". She asked him, " she continued. I listened to their conversation and almost forgot that I came to grab
I paid a visit to my mother-in-law and told her about the plan, at first she didn't want to agree to have anything to do with Mr Kent, but it was a matter of clearing her name and also finding a chance to bring her son and Rue 's husband back home..She then asked me to set a date with him, but I thought to myself,; why wait when they can meet eachother right now. So with Mr woods assistance, I was able to set a date with Mr Kent. He came and I was rather compelled to leave them alone so they could have a conversation and talk...Rue met me at the police station and was immediately upset when I told her what was happening. If anyone would've been upset, it should be her mother-in-law, she never liked the fact that my mother-in-law caused everything and now has been accused for a crime she never committed...However, nothing really mattered to Rue when I explained to her the reason behind mom's behaviour and why she had to accept Mr Kent...In less than two hours, the chargers of mu
Back home, it was time for dinner and I was just the only one at home. Rue and her daughter had important business to attend too, but her mom seemed to be occupied in her room. She didn't want to come downstairs even after the maids had pleaded with her..After eating, I went to my mother in-laws bedroom. Something tells me that I was going to find something inside of her room. I came there at the only thing I saw was her expensive cloths, Makeups and a few of Luca's baby outfits... There was nothing that could lead me to the truth, and while I was struggling to find something in her room, I received a phonecall from Mr Kent. He wanted me to come to his house and talk, I never wanted to go m, however he didn't give me any choice..I had to leave everything behind and met with him..Kent was happy to find me at his house and calmly ushered me in and also asked his maids to get me a glass of water while the other a cup of tea. I was still seated on the sofa, the maids came back an
After Rue and I came back home, it was a quiet place to begin with. Rue had always advised me not to take matters into my own hands but did I listen to her? No, I was so determined to find out the truth and also clear my mother-in-laws name. Because no matter how annoying she can be sometimes, it's usually annoying to think that she'd be willing to murder a human being.." Anna, what brings you here?". I came to the police station to have a serious conversation with my mother-in-law. I asked him if I could see her, but it didn't matter what I say, woods refused to let me meet my mother-in-law saying it wasn't the right time..Since he wasn't willing to let me see my mother, I chose to stop at Mariam's house..The only reason why I came here was to actually know what was happening. I even met with a few neighbours and not one person saw what happened that night. I want to believe them but deep down I had doubt..So, there I was thinking that I won't be able to find out the truth
Thankfully, Rue had a tracker on her daughter's phone and we were able to know where they were. The tracking device took us to some frat party and it was full of college kids. Was this the friend party Lillian was talking about, and when did alcohol become a means or snacks? Before getting inside the house, I begged Rue not to cause a scene, I know her and know what she's capable of doing. She promised me but for colse references, I held her hands and then made sure that we looked for our daughter's at the same time .." I don't see them". She spoke to me. "I don't either... Are we sure that they're here?". I questioned the untentistity of the tracking device on her cellphone. "Yes, my device doesn't lie". Rue refused to believe that she might be wrong...We went upstairs because that was where the device led us, it did take sometime to know where the kid's were untill we saw them talking to some boys at a secluded corner...Knowing Rue, she'd never approach the children withi
After their unruling confrontation, My mother-in-law finally told us the reason why she had to come to the police station and have an intimate conversation with Mr woods.. And one of the reasons was the fact that, she blames herself for what happened to both Lucas and Chris. She came to the police station to speak with the police officer and share with him the details she knew about Kent and how to stop him.We had to believe her because it didn't seem like she'd be lying to us. Rue went upstairs to her bedroom and I was left behind to continue in the conversation, despite the fact that I didn't have anything to say..."So! Did woods say he'd help?". I turned back by head and faced her. " Yeah, don't worry, Your husband and Chris Will be back". She came forward and placed her head on top of my forehead. I don't usually like this kind of affection, maybes because I am not used to it and definitely when it's coming from her...She later went upstairs to her bedroom and then I ha
Rue and I came back home after the bar, we had thought everyone must've gone to bed, but we were stunned to find out that neither our mother in-laws were sleeping and they were wide awake, waiting to pound on rue and myself. We might not say it but both our mother-in-law's acts the same way and it was starting to feel like things aren't what it seems to be. " Where are you both coming from?". Rue's mother-in-law was the first person to start talking. She talked and gave a chance to my mother. It was like they were taking turns and we were unjustly getting reprimanded by them instead of looking for the opportunity to find out where their sons, our husband might be . " Anna, I am disappointed in you". My mother-in-law left Rue's and personally faced me.It's really uncanny that she'd talk about disappointment when she might've been responsible for what happened to Adam's mother. " Ma'am, it's not Anna's fault" Rue stepped into the conversation..She attempted to speak further
After the preparation, Rue and I went to get ready for her wedding anniversary. The kids too also got their dresses sent to their rooms on time. Lucas phoned me and then Informed that he was coming back home with Chris, we only had an hour to get ready and then come downstairs with a full crowd of guests that were supposed to arrive. The kid's, Rue and I came downstairs and approached the main door. We stood there and patiently waited for Lucas to drive in with Chris. An hour had gone and they were yet to come back home, Rue was starting to get scared and I would honestly say that, I was also becoming scared as well .." Should we call them?" Rue anxiously grabbed her phone. I didn't say anything because I was in agreement but before she could dial the number, Lucas came drove Inside the house. Everyone was at peace and we all assumed they might've arrived, but what shocked us was the fact that their car was being driven by a stranger who thought of sending the car back home...
