Jenna walked into her car hurriedly and slammed the door shut, she placed her hands on her chest as she tried to calm her breathing but I wasn’t doing any help.She placed her hands on the steering about to drive out of the hospital premises but for some reason she felt restrained to do so.She reached for her bag and searched in it aggressively for her phone, immediately she found it she dialed Claire immediately.“Claire!” She called hurriedly as soon as the phone connected.“Good Evening ma’am,”“Claire, where are you?!” She asked.“I’m just about to leave the office maam, what’s wrong you sound worried,”“I’m coming to the office right now, wait for me there!” She said immediately.“S-sure sure, but ma’am what…” Jenna removed the phone from her ear and ended the call before she could complete her statement, she turned on the car engine immediately and drive out of the hospitals premises.***“Claire, where’s the envelope!” Jenna asked storming into her office.“Oh ma’am! You’re h
Next Morning ….Jenna muttered deeply in her sleep, she rolled over on the bed and her eyes slowly fluttered open, sun rays penetrating through the window blinded her eyes immediately, she turned away from there raising her hands to her face, as sort of a shield from the sun.She groaned deeply supporting her weight with her elbow as she pushed herself up from the bed.She turned to look around her but Jeremy wasn’t anywhere in sight, she slowly raised her hands to rub her head, she felt slight pains in her head and eyes as she rubbed her forehead slowly.She had cried herself to sleep yesterday night and now, her head ached terribly.“Jenna,” she heard Jeremy whisper as the door went open, she raised her head at once as she looked up at him, only then did she remember that she cried in his arms all through and he must have laid her to sleep.“How are you feeling this morning,” he asked again as he let go of the door knob and walked into the room fully, he was holding a glass of water
“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
