"Yes everything is the problem, you could have discussed this with me, before bringing her over here." "This is my house, and I don't need your consent to bring anybody here." "It's enough you two, Ford she will start giving her the respect she deserves as your wife?" "The day she will learn to mind her business." "She is your wife, you don't expect her to overlook things?""This is my house.""Same way it's hers." "Oh Mother can we just stop this whole drama, I have somewhere important to be." He saw Brielle coming down the stairs. "Are you ready?" She nodded. "I'm not done talking to you.""This discussion isn't necessary." Brielle stands there gaping at them, Lucy glares at her. She dismissed her and stared at her new grandmother, she was the reason why all this happened, she was in the way of two lovers. "It's nice meeting you." "I can't say the same here." Brielle didn't know she blurted it out, this was what she had practiced in her mind to say to her when they meet, but
"Ford she is just trying to tell her something that will benefit her, I'm sure you have heard about his reputation with women, it won't be good to have a member of this family join in the chain of women he has used.""Sapphire leaves this place." "What!!!? The mother and daughter chorused at the same time. "Ford you can't be serious, she was only saying her mind." "Sapphire, I won't repeat myself, leave this table. I see you didn't come here to eat, when you are to eat you can join us." Brielle opened her mouth to say something, but when her eyes met with Frederick, he shook his head for her not to.Sapphire angrily stood up and shoved her seat to the ground. Lucy frowned at her husband, and followed her daughter, the remaining three had their breakfast. "Brielle, come with me." They walked to his office."I'm sorry about what she said to you.""You don't have to apologize for her." "She went overboard." "I understand, and I wasn't expecting them to welcome me with an open hand.
"Ready, one, two, go." The duo jumped inside the water. They raced to the other end of the pool."Yeaaaah, I won." "Man is getting flimsy." "Let's go again." They swam back to the end again. Brielle stretched out fast before him, she watched Frederick get out of the water, to sit beside her. Something caught her eyes as he leaped to her side."What happened to your shoulder?" She watches intently."This, oh I had an accident.""When? How?""I think it's karma, nature decided to pay me a visit for killing her.""Didn't say that, when did it happen?""The day I went to see her, and for the news of her death, I was coming back, my eyes were getting murky after crying, and I drove myself that day, I didn't see the incoming vehicle and it ran into me.""So sorry, you could have covered it up.""After I recovered, I grew to like the mark.""Why?""It reminded me of her." Brielle chuckled."You are such a great lover." he giggled at her words. "Some will get surgery because they want to fo
The duo went back to Lucy's room, the knock on the door interrupted them."Come in." "Mom, can you help me out with some cash?""I don't have enough now.""Mom!!" The two chorused"What!!?"It was just last week, what happened to the money." "I don't think I owe you two explanations on how I spend my money.""You can simply say, you don't want to give me, you were credited last week.""That was last week, this is a new week."Clifford's mood dampened, his mother was his last resort, after his father refused to give him his allowance earlier than the designated time. He knows Sapphire would not loan him cash. He strode out of the room. "I will give you some cash, if you do my bidding." He stopped at her words. "Are you being serious?""Yes.""Ok what do you want me to do, assassinate, rob the bank or buy drugs for you." "You moron, it's totally different from that. Ok here is the deal, there is a number I need you to get." "From where?""Brielle's phone." "What!! How do I get my
"And this is all you can come up with, a fake DNA result."Sapphire gazed at her mother, she was surprised, her mother never told her anything about this, all eyes in the dining room were on Lucy. "Lucy come on, even if she wants to leech off me, why are you offended about that, that's the same thing you are doing, so why feel bad that someone wants to join you." "Ford, those are real, see the hospital stamp." "Enough!! Do you think I haven't conducted a test? I know this is fake, so please quit this drama." He clamored. Lucy clenched her jaw, she didn't know that he had conducted a test. Frederick stormed out of the dining, and Lucy hit the table making it jerk, before leaving the dining, with Sapphire trailing behind her. Only Clifford and Brielle were left at the table, they gaped at each other."You aren't going with your mother?""You aren't going with your father?" They both giggled, Brielle stuffed her mouth with food before leaving the dining room, her mind went back to w
She had two more days before her departure date. Frederick was hesitant to allow her to go back. "Mom, she will be leaving on Sunday." "Not so soon.""What do we do now?""We have to come up with something fast, if she slips our hand now, we don't know when next we will see her.""That's it, do you have any plans?" "No, we have only one option now, that's our first plan." The duo looked at each other."But we don't know how to do it.""Leave it to me, just play out your role well, then we are good." Sapphire heaved a deep breath. "You have to do it during dinner.""Ok." ************************Brielle had just returned from the office with Frederick. She went to freshen up and get ready for dinner. The family sat for dinner. Everyone was eating except Sapphire."How is the food?" Everybody looked at her. "I mean I prepared the food, so how is it?"Clifford choked on the food in his mouth, Brielle and Fredrick stared at her with wide eyes."Why did you make the food?""It's my way
Brielle was dressed in an evening black silk gown Frederick sent for her with a set of jewelry, and black heels. The driver was already waiting for her. He took her to the venue, Frederick was waiting for her. It was a nice restaurant. "Welcome to Peak Grandeu, do you have a reservation?""Yes, Mr. Davis.""Oh, this way." "You look amazing." "Thanks." They sipped on their wine as they waited for their order to arrive. "How was work today?""I won't say it's the same, you didn't come today. You spoilt Nate, he has been quibbling about his work today." Brille giggled. The waiter arrived with their meal, and they started eating. "What's your plan after the six months?""According to our deal, I will quit working for him, and he is bound to get another employment for me in another company." "Oh, that's a nice one. Are you still considering that?""Why not.""I was thinking, maybe when the contract is over, you can move here." "That's nice, but I can't leave Nana." "Not at all, yo
"Where have you been?""I didn't see you when I came in." "You made me apprehensive; you took too long, so I decided to go look for you." "I'm sorry, I ran into an old pal, and got held up." The mother and daughter played out their role so well. "Lucy, come sit, you need rest." She sat near her husband with a fulfilled heart, the discussion with the Doctor was a success. "Brielle you didn't travel again?"Before she could reply to her, the doctor came in."Mr. Davis, can I speak to you for a minute?" They went to the end of the room. "I'm sorry, I don't think you are vital enough to donate blood." "Why?""Any markdown in your blood will affect you.""How bad can it be?""I will say, sixty-thirty." Frederick peered over his son, and back at the doctor. "Do it.""What?""I said you should do it." "Sir, I understand that you want to save your son, but you are endangering yourself. There are so many options.""What are the options?""Your daughter can be a good match." They looked
