I'm your mother," Joan said the truth anyway."What! What did you just say?" Shantelle asked in shock. It took her time to find her tongue and say something as she was in shock. Or maybe she had not heard her correctly.Lia was so vexed that she didn't hide it, she glared angrily at Joan."Just leave!" Lia snapped and gestured towards the door. She was suddenly feeling light headed and dizzy."Please just give me a chance and I promise not to ever disturb you again. Just hear me out please. I'm not asking to be part of your lives or to accept me back as your mother, I just want to explain how things really were." Joan rushed her words.Her children just stood there staring at her."If what she said about being our mother is trur Lia, then please give her a chance to explain herself because I want an explanation too.

You need to be more serious and efficient." Nick stated harshly."I'm sorry sir, I'm really sorry. I'll try my best to memorize tomorrow's schedule and tell you off hand tomorrow."

Before Jones could even say something or gain his balance, Nick threw him another punch and another.Jones punched Nick too and Nick let go of him. "What is it man? You just barge into my house and throw punches at me?" Jones asked angrily. His nose and lips were bleeding—he had a broken nose and lips. He went into the bathroom and took out a row of tissue and stuck them in his nose to avoid the bleeding.He wiped the blood away from his lips and started out of his room. "Let's talk in the sitting room." He turned to look at Nick when he noticed that Nick was still standing."You're really pretending like you don't know why I'm here? Really?" Nick asked angrily. He was controlling himself so hard not to punch Jones again."How am I supposed to know? We didn't have a fight or an argument. I didn't do anything wrong to you, did I?"
