“Fiona,” Elizabeth repeated, Jenna’s eye widened as she watched the scene unfold in front of her .“Dad!” Fiona whispered as she let go of Elizabeth and engulfed Franco in a big hug.“It’s been such an awfully long time” she murmured, her grip against him getting tighter.They all stood utterly astonished as they stared at her, her timing was very off.Elizabeth particularly stared at Jenna, her lips hung open, she knew this day was going to come but she didn’t think it would come this soon.She had thought and thought about how she was going to break the news to Jenna but then again she concluded to keep it a secret, only that she forgot one tiny detail.Fiona was no longer a child.“Oohh, Jenna?!” Fiona whispered as she let go of Franco and slowly turned to look at Jenna.“Hi, I’m Fiona,” “And I guess you’re Jenna right?! My adopted sister,” she chattered excitedly stepping forward to Jenna, Jenna raised her eyeballs slightly surprised as she tilted her head to the side, apparently
Jenna sighed deeply for the umpteenth time staring at nothing in particular, her hands were folded tightly across her chest and her legs crossed over the other.“If you’re going to come here to continue your rant, please don’t!” Jenna muttered as she felt Annabeth’s weight drop heavily on the bench beside her.Annabeth closed her eyes momentarily and opened it with a deep exhale.“I’m sorry,” she muttered“Okay,”“Because as it is I don’t think I’m permitted to say how I really feel about things any more ,” she added with a small snort, and Annabeth couldn’t help but smile.“Don’t be like this Jennalyn, I shouldn’t have had that outburst either, it was very insensitive of me to do that at this point, I admit I made a mistake and I’m sorry,” Annabeth said.“Well, still doesn’t change what you feel about me, you’re just sorry for saying it out to me, you’re not sorry for seeing me that way, and it’s totally fine,” Annabeth replied.“No I …”“I’m going to Nigeria!” Jenna interrupted cal
Next day …“Breaking news Business Tycoon Franco Thatcher has been exposed by his daughter to be the country most wanted syndicate leader,”“His daughter who appears not to be his daughter finally reveals in a very lengthy every truth about the Thatcher’s family that she just found out about very recently and fled the country immediately after,” The news caster read offhand on the screen as they showed a video of Jenna in the airport.“Policemen had been dispatched to look into the case and be certain it isn’t just some random and I solid post on the internet,”“But for now, Franco Thatcher is not permitted to leave the country while investigation is still on going,”“Shit,” Annabeth muttered as Darell picked up the remote and turned off the TV.“Jenna shouldn’t have taken this route,” she muttered.“If you hadn’t yelled at her yesterday and turned her off, she would have confided in us with this !” Darell muttered.“Blaming me now yeah?!” Annabeth murmured rolling her eyes as she lo
Lagos Nigeria, …“Comot for road Oyinbo girl!” (Leave the road light, skinned lady,) A taxi driver yelled as he sped past Jenna, she nearly jumped out of her skin as she rushed to the other side of the road.She exhaled deeply already getting tired of the whole thing, it’s been twenty minutes since she arrived here and she had no idea what to do next.Never did she imagine or did the thought cross her mind that Lagos Airport would be so crowded.Everyone was so busy and hooked with their activities, Families coming out to pick up or drop off their relatives with so much excitement at their arrival or departure. She just seemed so alone, no one seemed to notice her, and everyone seemed too busy to even spare her a glance.The people she tried to talk to didn’t understand her accent, and neither did she understand theirs, she hadn’t even started looking for Nimi and she was already fed up.“Where you headed?!” She heard a taxi driver ask as he zoomed in and stopped his car in front of h
Just as soon as she dropped the call, her phone dinged and it was a message from Jeremy, the video he promised to send.She clicked on it and began to play it.“Hello Everyone, I’m sure you don’t know me but I’m Annabeth, Annabeth Covey, Elizabeth Thatcher’s Step sister, ….” The video began.Meanwhile ….Victoria Island GRA 8:00am ……“Hey mom,” Nimi greeted as he walked into his house.“Welcome home son, how was your day?!”“Ughh! Very fine mom!” He replied as he dropped heavily on the chair with a small sigh of exhaustion.“I won’t believe you’ve been having great days, until you bring a beautiful girl home to marry!” She said as she picked up a drumstick on her plate and chewed on it.“Wow! You just had to go there” he said with a small smile as he dipped his hands in his pocket and took out his phone.“Yes, I’ll keep on going there until you bring my daughter in law home!” She replied.“I’ve told you, relationship is the last thing on my mind for now,” he replied casually as he beg
Next day ….Saturday Afternoon …“Hey look, it’s my beautiful niece!” Nimi chirped happily as he opened up the door for Tolu and Adina, he lifted her up in his hands immediately as he swirled her in the air generating excited giggles from her.“Yo! Atta girl how are you doing!” He finally said and he set her gently back on her feet and took her hands, she just replied with incoherent mumblings and a wide excited smile.“What did you do to mom! She reported you to me!” Tolu said to him as they made their way towards the living room, he rolled his eyes to the back of his head with an exasperated sigh.“Really?!”“She called you to report me?!” He said as she walked into the living room and took their seat.“How i found out is not the problem! Just tell me what you did to her!” She snapped as she dropped heavily on the chair.“What I did to her?! I didn’t do shit!”“Language!” Tolu cautioned and he rolled his eyes at her.“I didn’t do anything, I just showed her some news on my phone an
“Three million?!”“What why?! Is it too small?!” The guy asked leaning in towards her.“That’s about all the money I have left with me,” she murmured in reply.“Are you interested in finding him or not?! Soooner or later you’ll have to pay this money because you can’t see him for free, booking and reservation fee has to be made,”“And with the way things are increasing in the country you might have to pay more if you delay,” he said to her and she exhaled deeply.“Okay fine, you’re sure you’ll get me to meet with him?!” “Why not! With immediate alacrity! Once I get the payment I’ll arrange the meeting and even pay for your transport to him!” He said and she nodded slowly.“Okay fine!” She murmured.“Cash or transfer?!” He asked a small smile touching his lips, she just opened her purse and handed him all the dollar bill she had in her purse.“Okay good!” He said with a small smile as he counted the money she gave him, it was eight hundred dollars, he folded it neatly and placed it in
Meanwhile ….Nimi packed in front of Debbie’s house, he stepped out of the car, rounded it quickly and opened the door for her.Debbie was Tolu’s friend that she had set him up with, they just had dinner and he was dropping her off and so far so good, her company had been nice.“Thank you,” she said with a wide smile as she took his hand and stepped out of the car.“I enjoyed myself today, thank you for going out with me,” she said with a small smile, and she nodded slowly.“I had fun also,” he replied, she was beautiful also, she had a fair and flawless caramel skin, she was nice and she spoke eloquently too, but the only thing was that she wasn’t Jenna.He gently stepped forward deciding to take the bull by the horn, Tolu was right he need to move forward, he gently placed tucked her hair behind her ear and pulled her close to him, slowly he bent to her height and slammed his lips on hers.He tried to muster feeling but none came, it was just bland, she definitely wasn’t Jenna but
