Do you think Mariam is bluffing for real?
Chapter 47Gina’s POV“What are you doing here? I mean you should have called you were coming today.” I replied.“I wanted to surprise you Gina, are you angry I came around?” He asked.“No, I am not angry, just that you should have passed a call across to me or sent a text message that you were coming to the town,” I added not feeling that cool he just came home just like that.“Okay, I am sorry for not calling or texting, I just wanted to surprise my friend that I missed a lot,” Erick said with a smile.“Anyway, you are welcome,” I added not feeling too okay to talk with him because of what Liam did earlier. I still feel a little pain because of the way he pushed me.“Gina is everything okay?” He asked me and I nodded saying, “Yes, everything is okay, why do you ask?”“I asked because of the way you are behaving right now, I don’t like it, this isn't the Gina I know.” He said not looking happy.“Erick, how exactly did I behave that is making you angry?”“I am not angry, I just feel s
Chapter 48 Liam’s POV I had lunch with Daniel as planned and he said to me, “I guess Mariam is not ready to let you go.” “That’s her own cup of tea,” I replied. “So tell me, what do you plan on doing? Are you going to give up now? Gina meant it when she said she was going to get a restraining order.” “I know she can’t do that, she will never do it, I know she loves me so much and she doesn’t wish to admit the truth.” “How are you so sure that she is still in love with you?” “Because you can just walk away from your first love that easily, no matter how hard you try, it’s hard to forget about first love.” I took another bite of the chicken. “You may be right about first love not letting go easily but for someone like it, I doubt if that principle will work out.” “Hey!!” I yelled. “What? Are you going to kill me for saying the truth?” “No I won’t, I will let it go today because I am in a happy mood so just thank your stars.” I emptied the glass cup of water, “I enjoyed this lu
Chapter 49 Writer’s POV A few days earlier, Erick still in Paris finished one of his meetings very early and had a meal with one of his cousin's brothers named Larry who works in his company. “Cheers to better days,” Larry said lifting his glass cup and Erick did the same. “I am so happy everything is going so well.” Erick expressed how excited he was and they started eating when Larry asked about his crush. “What about your crush? I haven’t been seeing her around lately.” “She returned to Florida with the kids, her kids were so desperate to go to Florida, their smartness worked so well.” “You mean the country her ex-husband lives in?” “Yes, the kids have been wanting to go there for a long time and she finally agreed.” Larry's looks made Erick question what he was thinking because his looks told him something was totally off about his cousin. “I just feel for you, cousin, what if she reunites with her ex-husband when they encounter each other again? What will you do? You kno
Chapter 50 Gina’s POV “Gina, this is unlike you or did you by any chance come across your ex-husband? Is that the reason you quit? Did he trouble you?” Erick questioned with curiosity written all over his eyes to know why I really quit, is there any point in telling him the truth? “Gina, should I take it as a yes? You met with him?” “No, why will I quit because of my ex-husband? Even if we met, I will never quit because of him.” I replied and I knew the choice I made by lying to him would save further talks. “That’s a relief, hope he isn’t troubling you?” “Erick, why are you so obsessed about my ex-husband? I really don’t get it at all, you keep asking questions about him since I came to Florida, I need to know why?” I really want to know why Erick is always asking about Liam, I found it so strange because we aren’t lovers, just friends. “I am just looking out for a friend and that’s all, are you uncomfortable about it?” He asked taking his seat. “Yes, I am not comfortable wit
Chapter 51Gina’s POV“Hold on Candy, let me know the truth, do you have a crush on Erick?”“No.” She acted so weird even with her response, “Are you going to deny the whole thing when I can see clearly through your expression that you love him.”“I really don’t have a crush on Erick, why will I have feelings for him, it’s not possible.”“Are you still lying to me, I thought we were friends. Now I remember very well, you once told me the people you end up loving don’t end up loving you in return, were you by any chance referring to Erick?” I asked trying to place the whole thing together to get the perfect answers.I noticed she was shy to admit her feelings for Erick, the best thing I can do for her now is to tell her the truth, she needs to move on for good because Erick has eyes for another and I don’t want her to get hurt over and over again for someone who doesn’t have feelings for her or knows how she feels instead.“It’s fine dear, I understand you so well but if you will take
Chapter 52Gina’s POV“Gina, do you have feelings for me?”Wait a minute, is Erick serious right now or this is his new method of cracking jokes, if it is, then this is so funny, that I couldn’t control my laughter, I laughed out like a crazy lady, “OMG, you almost got me Erick, this is the funniest thing you have ever said to me.”“Really?”“Yes, why will I have feelings for you when we are nothing but friends,” I added still laughing.“That hurt you know.”“I am sorry, okay let me ask mine, do you have feelings for me too?” I decided to make it funnier.“You don’t need to answer because I know your answer is no, your heart belongs to your crush in Paris,” I questioned and answered for him, he just looked at me like someone crazy.“You think it’s funny?”“Yes, it is or is it not? Wait a minute Erick, do you really mean the question?” He looked at me for a few seconds and finally said to me, “Never mind, like you said it’s not possible so it’s cool.”“I knew it, I know you were just
Chapter 53Liam’s POVDaniel returned saying he didn’t see the kids anywhere, “You mean they are nowhere to be found? How is that even possible?”“Maybe they left while we were still concluding our meeting.” He said.“You are right, I still can’t believe what I saw earlier, the resemblance was just unbelievable.” I played with my hair while talking with Daniel.“Just to be sure, don’t be angry with what I am about to ask.”“What is that?”“Did you impregnate any other lady apart from Mariam?”“What? Do I look like a dog? So you think I go around impregnating ladies right?.”“You impreganted Maraim so.""You are going to say that now?""Sorry, Just wanted to be sure, then how can you explain the resemblance?”“You know what Daniel, go home, you are not helping me with matters at all, you are so annoying,” I responded waking in the direction of my car.“I was just joking.” He said.“Well, I am not in the mood for jokes, dig up more information about those kids, just find something, I wi
Chapter 54Writer’s POVGina's kids were all together in the living room when their mother returned home. They tried to welcome her but she didn’t respond the usual way.“Seems mom is sad,” Teddy said.“Yes, she doesn’t look so happy, what do you think might have transpired?” Theresa inquired and everyone had a confused look on their faces not knowing what exactly happened to their mother.Travis suddenly got an idea and he said to his siblings, “I think we can find out what is happening to mom through Erick, I know she went out with him.”“Yes, you are right, if anything is wrong with Mom, Erick is in the best place to know because he was the person last seen with Mom,” Trisha added.“So let’s wait for him outside the emergency way so he won’t lie to us and tell us the truth at once.” Tania suggested.“Then let’s wear the war outfit,” Theresa suggested.“Yes, yes, yes, I want that,” Teddy said with excitement and they all went inside with full energy to get set and waited for Erick t
