After a while, she heard footsteps and her heart raced.
"Come down Betty," she told herself and the door opened. A young woman appeared she took a quick look at her."How may I help you young girl?" she asked politely.Betty thought of her as a housemaid." So fancy" she thought."I'm looking for my mum""....."The woman took a hard look at the girl and finally let her in. Betty stepped inside and what she saw left her in a daze. The sitting room was as big as her whole house. The chairs were all made of white material and gold with a big screen TV in front of the sitting room."Please you can sit"She sat as she kept on admiring the whole place. She heard footsteps coming toward her and she braced herself for what was about to come. Another young fresh lady came forth but the way she dressed she looked like she was the boss around here. She was her mother. Her mom looked at her for a while she stood frozen without moving like she had seen a ghosImmediately the man had gone upstairs her mom took her to another room and locked it"Betty what was....""Mum is that your new husband?!"Her mom hesitated for a while."We aren't yet married but on the process""Mom how could you?!!""What your dad left Me all alone he never cared for once When I couldn't find you for days I lost hope i...I...wanted to commit suicide.""Mom!" As my mouth hung open."Let me finish Betty""That was when I met Karin""His name is Karin?" she asked and her mom nodded."After a while, he fell in love with me and I did too he asked me to marry him and I said yes""Mum you gotta cut it off!" "...""What of dad?!""Your dad doesn't care!""He does mum, he has changed I promise u"Her mom looked at her for a while"I'll think about it" and she turned to leave"Mom" as Betty held her hands her mum turned toward her"Think of our family together as one let us unite back as
She headed towards where she left him but he wasn't there she was devastated."I thought he said he won't leave" She remembered something immediately, she brought out her phone"Sigh I don't have his number""Betty!!" someone shouted her nameShe looked down and saw her dad."Dad!"She ran to him and hugged him."Sorry I wasn't there I saw her....""They aren't married dad!""...""Mum said she had forgiven you""Really?" he almost teared up "Yes, but she said she will think about coming back to you" his shoulders dropped in disappointment."Oh""But am sure she will come back dad don't worry""I hope so""Dad I'll want to stay with mum till she comes back home""Ok I think it's a good idea but I'll miss you""I'll miss you too dad"And they hugged each other.Betty's mum was watching them from below and she felt her heartbreak. She saw betty kiss him goodbye and they parted. From then on Betty bec
Karin took her home. Her mom was worried because she hadn't returned and neither had Karin. She had been nervous about how to break the news to him, but what she saw left her speechless.The doorbell rang and Tessa ran to open it but She stopped her and sent her back she breathed in and out and she opened the door she stood there frozen. Karin looked at her before he dropped Betty on the couch. She was confused why was Karin with Betty."And what happened to betty" as she rushed to her."Betty are you alright?" she hugged her. Betty was still recovering from the shock of what had happened between her and that monster called her dadHer mum took it as if Betty was reminding her of her earlier decision she stood up and faced the starring Karin.He was confused at what happened how could she care for a mere servant like she was her daughter.She never told him that she had a daughter only that she was chased by her husband."Karin can I talk t
Karin didn't expect that. He thought that she would have still needed some time to think about it that was why he never rushed her into it. He was slow and patient."Jenna don't you think.....""I love you Karin!" another fatal blow on his face. This was the first time he had heard Jenna say it. It made his heart fill with butterflies. "Sigh Jenna" he was finally defeated. He hugged her tightly as he caressed her hair gently and he brought her face up to his "I love you to Jenna" What she did shocked him to the coreShe kissed him gently savoring his scent. He was still at first but then began to follow her movements. She stopped as she looked at him smiling widely."What?""Your red" and he face palmed himself she wanted to say something but someone knocked. They looked at each other. Jenna went to open the door."Betty!" she hugged her."Am sorry I left you how are u doing now?""Mum am fine!" She was relieved. Betty walked into the r
Karin took her to the young women's section. Betty couldn't believe her eyes She saw so many beautiful dresses she wished she could take them all."Go ahead," he said Betty didn't understand what she said. She just chose one and went in to dress up. She came out."Dad, how do I look?" "pretty"She pouted She tried on several dresses until she picked the ones she loved she also found a blue gown she knew lily would love it and she found pretty blue heels to match them. Karin paid for it all.When they got into the car"Now about the wedding?""How about we start with the rings huh?"Betty nodded and they went to a jewelry store. They were so many pretty rings there was a case for those made with bronze a case for silver and a case for Gold. Betty's eyes sparkled when she saw them."Dad how about...." she saw Karin sigh"I don't like these""Why?""They are not as perfect as Jenna is" Betty coughed."What did I just hear?"
After the preparations with Karin, he put her to sleep he could already see how tired she was but she had been holding back because of the excitement."Goodnight""Mm Gn tiny Betty"She smiled and dozed off. He looked at her for a while and turned to go."Dad" and he froze."Can you stay with me tonight" Karin was knocked out After a while he didn't say anything she turned to him."Please dad" he walked up to her bed and put her to sleep."Ok" and he laid beside her soon after they were both asleep.Jenna waited for Karin to meet her but he never came she decided to check on them. She went up to Betty's room and she opened the door quietly in other not to disturb whatever they were planning but she didn't hear anything and it was dark. She tried to find the switch and she on the light. What she saw left her speechless. She watched them for a while almost about to tear up. She knew it was her daughter that had asked him to stay. After wa
The day for the wedding was set and Jenna was getting anxious until it was the next day. They all gathered and celebrated they had some drinks and went out. At Nightfall they were all returning home."Jenna""Mhm""You OK?""Yes just nervous""You don't have to be" as he squeezed her hands she felt better. The two girls were at the front chit-chatting."Lily am very happy that my mom is happy""Mm am happy for you""I hope she finds happiness with Karin.""She will" Betty suddenly remembered that lily had no dress for tomorrow she was about to say something but she remembered the dress she had picked for her but she waited for lily to say something about what she would wear tomorrow. The car came to a halt the girls went straight to their room while Karin helped Jenna down"Thanks," He noticed that she had been off point lately. He didn't want to force her to talk so he waited but even tho she hid it from the girls she couldn't
Betty walked up the aisle as her mom's bridesmaid. The music in the background began to change as Jenna walked arm in arm with her dad down the aisle the guests stood in awe. She looked like a queen in white. Her dress was indeed magnificent, her bodice embraced her slim waist as the rest of the dress flowed down. The setting was amazing the aisle was made of long white carpet with white and red roses scattered by each side. White chairs were set on either side of the aisle in 4 rows. At the end of the aisle was the wedding arch decorated with a blue and white lace curtain. Jenna felt so emotional. Her heart pounded furiously out of excitement and she couldn't explain why. She never felt like this when she got married to Chris her ex-husband. The wedding happened in such a rush that the only thing she could remember was the night they had spent. She never had the chance....but now she got another chance. As she clutched her bouquet she walked towards Ka
Noah, Sajan, and Niah hugged Betty tight she felt she was going to run out of breath."Please don't kill my fiancee before our wedding" Phoenix commented. The kids and their father, Cosmo chuckled. Cosmo walked over to where Nix stood."I'm sure the kids would miss you much too especially Sajan"Nix gave a light smile."I will too""I'm sorry for what Sasha might have put you and Betty through with her vain quest"Nix just stared at him and nodded. Cosmo gave him a light pat and then walked back to the children. "Don't forget to call me if you need help with anything" Betty said."Would you fly over just because of them?" Cosmo asked."Yes" she answered with all seriousness "I still take them as mine though not biologically"Betty hugged the trio once more and then cosmo before leaving them to catch their flight. "Now back to the main business," Nix said.Betty wanted to know why her father helped Sasha forge the results."Or didn't he want her to be with Nix?" She thought aloud
Ring ring...Her phone kept buzzing but she refused to pick up. Why would Dilan be calling her so early in the morning? Though a part of her wanted to answer the call and find out why another part of her seemed to have gotten the best part of her reasoning. She watched her phone buzz repeatedly till he decided to stop calling. She breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Then a knock on her door. She felt tormented. What was all this? At first she concluded she would just stay and wait till the person left but the next thing she heard made her heart jump from her mouth. The person had broken her door down and began to look through the house. She peered from above but only caught his silhouette. She ran inside her room immediately and made to lock the door when she felt a strong hand push the door open. She fell on the floor due that action. "Charles?" She muttered."Why are you...?""Lily is missing" he answered back cutting her off. In seconds he explained everything to her. Each sentence
"Congratulations ma'am" the nurse excitedly congratulated her, her face beaming with smiles. She turned to Steve who was still starting ever lovingly at Silvia. "Please make sure she gets enough rest" the nurse repeated but this time emphasizing strictly to Steve.He nodded in affirmation promising to do so. Silvia ed is oblivious to what was happening within her. Steve held her hands and kissed her on her forehead. "Don't be scared babe I'm here for you " he told her. Silvia didn't know what to do at this moment, she was in utter confusion. This could be the end of her life and career. It would have been better if only she knew about it but then Steve found out. How on earth was she going to tell this man standing before her that she wanted to abort the baby? Not that she couldn't but he'll try to find out why.What was more terrible was knowing that she was going to be in trouble when Dilan or any member of his family gets to hear this. Speaking of Dilan..her phone rang...It w
Silvia glared at the piece of paper in their hand, she crumpled it and threw it into the bin. She got into her car and drove home, she began to ponder"a month pregnant?!!!" she yelled."I can't be. This can't be possible. She parked the car by the side of the road and began to do some "calculations""But we were protected and I never skipped my morning pills" She thought so hard her forehead began to hurt. A memory flashed into her brain, she remembered the time she had stayed indoors with Steve all through. She was too lost in the moment she forgot herself. She yelled and screamed and finally sobbed. This was a bad turn for her, she knew she could not even blame it on Dilan who not for once even gave her a handshake. "Steve!!!" She drove to her house in annoyance. She threw her purse on the couch and began to think of a solution"If I tell him....he might want us to get married" she concluded. With the way steve professed his love for her over and over again she knew that telling
Cosmo walked up to Betty and knelt to face Sajan "Am your father" The man told the boy. The boy blinked repeatedly and looked at Nix."Come" Cosmo put his hand forward to take the boy. Nix dragged the boy to himself. Nix fell short of words too even though it had been his wish for all of this to vanish into thin air or for someone to just pop out of nowhere and claim Sajan. But he didn't think he might feel the way he felt now. He had gotten used to having Sajan as his son a part of him felt excited about having him."What do you mean?" Betty asked Cosmo. He smiles embarrassingly but answered her question truthfully, not wanting her to doubt him. "It's a long story" She cocked her head to the side in wonder. "Let's go home then" Betty suggested. Sasha got into Cosmo's car while Nix, Betty, Sajan, and the twins got into the car leading the way for Cosmo. Nix called Noah Thor who advised him to drive to his house including that he would call Doctor Darrel. The car came to a hal
Arriving at the dining hall, the couple and the trio were given a private room. The elevated radiant ceilings and the orthodox scenery embellished an astonishing ambiance. The interior area appeared friendly and alluring with the flowers on each table and relieving piano music that float in the restaurant. The decibels weren't very high, the soundness was quiet and superficial. Nix discovered that Betty had been silent since they entered."You order I'll be in the bathroom," Betty said with a smile. He nodded and sat down with the children all cornered around him. Betty went into the washroom, she wiped the tears that were about to fall, making sure that she was alright she went back to her date. Phoenix had set up a kind of "family reunion" but it was more like a reunion between him and Betty.Betty sat on her seat which was directly opposite nix, giving him the perfect opportunity to stare at her as long as he wanted. They were served lobster balls and tofu "Simple?" Betty asked"
...Betty found it hard to sleep all through the night. She kept on reminiscing about the events that occurred between her and nix. The surprise kisses ran chills through her spine anytime she thought of it.Matt was right she missed nix but more now she thought of him. After a long thought, she stood up to go and meet Alicia but she paused in her tracks when she thought she might interrupt something.Just then she heard a knock."Wanna talk?" Alicia asked.Betty smiled to herself."Nix you have four days left to bring my son back to me" Sasha texted nix.Nix laughed at seeing the message."Any problem dad?" Sajan asked as he joined Nix on the couch."Your mom misses you"Sajan frowned"Why?""You don't hate her do you?""A little""she's still your mom and you shouldn't feel that way toward her" Nix explained to Sajan.Sajan was about to reply when they got interrupted by a knock on the door followed by the swinging open of the door."Matt?""Phoenix... it been long," Matt said giving
"Betty, why did you even attempt that?" Ashely patted Betty on the back while she sobbed heavily."No matter where I go I'll still feel the same way about him....I'll still love him and i"ll still want to be with him. I can still feel him he's like everywhere. But I can't forget what he did. He lied to me he deceived me" she cried."But he loves you that am sure of" Betty didn't say a word after...after a few minutes she fell into a deep slumber."Phoenix?" Matt asked as he sat beside Alicia.Alicia nodded."So how long is she going to stay here?" "As long as she wants" Alica replied curtly "Why the attitude?" Matt asked with a smile"Why the smile?" she asked back"Get serious Alicia....stop fooling around and help your friend""Matt" Alicia screamed his name and rushed towards him. She blew a punch on his stomach and he "groaned" in pain and began to laugh."That hurts babe," he said hugging Alicia tightly "Leave me you twitch""No" Matt disagreed and kissed her."Your lips tast
Nix and the kids had left that early morning leaving Betty alone in the house. She decided to take a walk before she finally left to "find herself".She just couldn't stop thinking of the happenings of yesterday, especially the surprise kisses she had gotten from Nix. Her lips itched to get more but she was relieved her senses were still in control and had stopped her from what might have led to another thing and now she had her chance to run away from him she wouldn't let it go.She decided to take a cab to anywhere her heart finds solace."Going where ma'am" "Just taking a drive""Okay to where ma'am?""Don't worry I'll take a cab""No ma'am just let me" the driver pleaded.Betty didn't want to argue so she agreedThey drove far away from their hometown, she didn't want to see or hear anyone she knew. She was already aware of the "I love you's, why did do that" coming from her friend Alicia and Nix. But she neither hear any of it. Driving down to the beach several miles away. She s
