“What alphabet is this one baby?” I asked, sceptical that she would get that one.

“Letter w”, she replied almost immediately.

“Oh! my one true genius”, I said, picking her up and blowing on her stomach till she laughed so heartily she held my head to stop.

“How about this one? Do you remember this one?” I said, still holding her.

“Letter v”, she replied cheerfully.

“Baby you've made mommy so happy. What would you want me to buy for you?” I asked cheerfully, then I remembered that I can't exactly buy anything because I don't exactly have any money.

Coming here we had to give up everything, I gave up lots of past acquaintances, my job and most importantly Kelcie's education. The issue that led to Kelcie's leaving school didn't have so much to do with money but more to do with the distance from her school to here. Josh Xavier's house was located in a much distant part of the town.

It wasn't that there were no schools around here but the schools here are so expensiv

    JOSH XAVIER She just stood there looking as though she didn't hear what I had just said. “My name is Kelcie, what's your name?” she asked in that innocent daze .I kept a stern face and remained silent hoping that she'd take the cue and run off to her mother but she was unperturbed. “Excuse me Mr, what's your name?” she persisted “What's your name Mr?” then she stopped as though she got an idea in her little head and said “I'll call you Mr”. I rolled my eyes at this which she took as encouragement.“Mr”, she said, coming even closer than before putting her little hands on my legs “Can I ride too?” she asked.“No” I answered“Why?” she asked innocently as though as I was trying to stop her from something she thought would be fun. I don't know but something in my depth melted at this. “You'll not want to ride this one”, I said. “We could get you a toy to ride if that's what you want”, I added.“Will you ride it with me?” she asked excitedly.“Of course not,” I replied, feeling a littl

    Charlotte McCartney Josh fell atop the shards of glasses that he smashed.I didn't know exactly how I felt when that happened. A disabled old man got clumsy and fell atop shards of glass. I was numb. Maybe it was how quick it all happened before we could even reach to prevent him from falling or maybe it was the fact that he was nice to Kelcie that actually made me feel bad for this man. As malicious as this may sound, it wasn't said from a place of malice, I held nothing against Josh Xavier aside from the few times he said some mean and awful things to me but my problem with him here was he was evading treatments and medical administration, evading isn't exactly the word he was telling everything to go straight to hell.He lay on the floor grunting and breathing deeply, shards of broken glass had pierced his skin causing him and the floor to be stained with blood.As soon as the Doctor came to help him, he roared, “Get back, don't you come close to me!”The Doctor just stood there

    Charlotte McCartney “Get that shit out of my sight Lydia”, we heard Josh say as we headed to the kitchen. “What is she doing up so early?” he exclaimed,as soon as his eyes fell on Kelcie.“Hello Lydia” I said ignoring his question and waving to Lydia who stood beside him as he sat before a table of food and drugs.“Good morning Ms Lydia”, Kelcie said, running to embrace Lydia.“Hello Kelcie”, Lydia said smiling and returning her embrace.“I know you heard me”, he said, dissatisfied by my refusal to reply.“She's hungry”, I answered , saying only half the truth. The truth was that I was the one who awoke very hungry to find Kelcie also awake. So we decided that it wouldn't be a bad idea to have an early morning breakfast.“Hello Mr. Good morning”, said Kelcie cheerfully as though she had seen an old friend embracing him as well.“Hello little one”, he replied, obviously uneasy by the gesture.“Looks like someone was about to eat”. I guessed that Josh was once again refusing to eat pr

    Charlotte McCartney “Mommy let's play a game”, Kelcie said excitedly, as the three of us sat outside Josh Xavier's mansion in what seemed to be a field of some sort, a huge one for that matter very suitable for parties, receptions, picnics etc. Kelcie had somehow managed to convince Josh to come outside to play with her, he on the other hand probably may have seen it as a good opportunity to do something other than just sit inside.“What sort of games exactly are we talking about?” he asked mildly cautiously.“It's a role game, I'll be Daddy, you’ll be baby, and Mommy will be mommy.“But why can't you be baby and I be Daddy?” Josh complained.“Because I'm always the baby” she replied slightly annoyed as though it wasn't obvious“Okay”, she said and ran off, soon she was back with some grasses in her miniature plate, eat baby she said to Josh and ran off again.The look on Josh's face was so comical I burst into Laughter.“What's so funny?” he asked, annoyed. “I'm really confused on

    Charlotte McCartney “Josh looks like you've not only gotten yourself a wife but also someone to fight your battles for you isn't that right?” Beatrice Xavier asked, staring at me with a sinister smile.“You know I'm his wife and yet you choose to disrespect my husband and daughter before me?” I countered feeling more enraged by this woman, who not only has been able to succeed in making Josh feel more miserable than ever but was also reaching to what she considers other parts of him to do the same thing.“She's a real fiesty one now isn't she?” she said, still trying to downplay my presence and position but wavering a little.“Excuse me lady!” I challenged, feeling bolder than before. “When my grandfather told me about this place, he told me that this house belonged to Josh Xavier, handed to him by his father. As much as I do not dispute who you are to him and what role you may play in his family dynamic, I still do not believe it is proper to barge into a property that is not yours

    Josh Xavier The days always seemed the same when I spent it inside. Nothing really happened other than what was already not happening, my misery. That's why whenever I feel miserable I choose to remain indoors. There, I could drown in my nothingness. As a young man I had lived my life in tune with the fever, the rush. But I had been cautious nonetheless. I wasn't one to be dead drunk or deadly intoxicated by drugs or feelings. I played them all with caution and care, I wasn't one to be defined by errors and mistakes contrary to the case I was a perfectionist. But here I lay, an old disabled man, crippled by an accident. The same accidents I had somehow successfully managed to escape all those years when I was a bachelor. I have questioned every possible thing to be questioned on why it never happened then, when I was too immersed in living and working, why I wasn't destablised when I was most stable. Why it happened when I thought it wise to finally have a family, when I found who

    Charlotte McCartney “And here is your coin!” Kelcie exclaimed as she brought the coin out of Josh's ear in attempt to show off her latest magic trick,“Yeah!” We both cheered as though we did not see the coin all along. Josh even applauded her which she received so cheerfully. It was a relief seeing both of them, my not so favorite person with my most favorite person both in tune with each. I was happy because I needed this for Kelcie, I wanted her to feel comfortable, feel appreciated and loved, not have to hide but on the contrary be free to roam as she liked. It was the best I could give her in all that had happened these past few months.“Mummy I want to be a magician for my birthday”, she said, opening her mouth to get a piece of the cake Lydia had baked for us.“I thought you said you wanted to be a princess the other day”, I said giggling.“But I want to be a magician now”, she replied, jumping.Before now, the only proper birthday party Kelcie ever had was when she was two, b

    Charlotte McCartney “The birthday isn't till two weeks," I said, wrapping my friend in the most ferocious hug. “When did you get back?” I asked, smiling.“I came in last night," she said, returning my ferocious hug back until broke off the embrace to catch my breath. Maddie had always been a strong one, so this wasn't surprising. Her adult years were dedicated to endless exercises,training and travelling. She was as strong as two men put together when it came to combat.“How was Uganda?” I asked. Ever since we both signed out of college, Maddie had been in the habit of travelling from one third world country to another, immersing herself in one charity outreach to another. It was not a shocker. Her father, a rubber magnate, had been a passionate philanthropist who had hundreds of charity organizations around the world. Sadly he and his wife passed on after a fatal car crash leaving Maddie and her sister Tara as their successors. Tara had gotten married right after college to her hig

    Josh Xavier I lay in bed wide awake for what seemed like hours just doing nothing, uncertain on what to do and how to go about it, the zeal just wasn't there. Lots of days were like this,it made no difference if it was my birthday or not. Birthdays weren't so much of a thing especially after I lost my mom but it wasn't a completely terrible day because that was when I rode the horses. I'd get off very early from work and spend a good amount of time to myself riding through the estate. It was during these rides I'd have one of the most retrospective moments. So usually birthdays weren't days when I celebrated life as much as I celebrated new levels of discoveries , as well as certain aspects of self revelation. They weren't necessarily on a positive basis but they were enough distraction as opposed to my rigid work life .“Get up you old fuck”, I told myself a thousand times but my body refused to respond, to succumb to the day-to-day pain of living of surviving especially like this

    Josh Xavier“Hey Happy birthday Josh”, Oliver, my class buddy, shook my hands and slapped my shoulder playfully. He was always that playful and funny and was my best friend at the time. “Thanks man”, I said, rubbing the place he slapped me. It was a really bright afternoon that day and people kept trooping in. I sat on the playground to wish myself well.My school had bested the entire region in the sports of lacrosse and today being the final game was marked by loud screams and jubilation. I had led the Victorious teams as its fearless captain and was also named the most valuable player of the entire gaming season. What made that day memorable was that on this final game, I was marking my seventeenth birthday, so the celebration only got better when it was announced that not only had I won the most valuable player, but that on this day and on this very game was also my birthday.“Happy birthday Josh”, Marcy, a very pretty girl at the time whom I secretly admired and desired came to

    Charlotte McCartney We were standing at the same spot when they arrived. Their car drove slowly towards us until it took a short turn to the left and parked. Next thing all four doors opened and there was my family, the whole of them; Father, Mother, Whitney and Ron.“Good afternoon or is it evening?” mother said, taking charge of the entire interaction as she always did.“I don't remember asking you to bring this asshole here”, Josh said, looking immediately annoyed by Ron's presence.“You asked for the family Josh and I brought you the family”, mom said, nonchalantly.“Plus I don't think it's proper to insult an obvious member of the family”, Whitney said with a serious face.“I don't remember when exactly your family took him in, please remind me when”, he asked Whitney roughly.“And please remind me when it is you took in this wife of yours”, Whitney said, gesturing to me and I snarled in return.“Come on, is this what we came here for Josh?” Father asked this. “For you to let ou

    Charlotte McCartney “Oh no you didn't Josh”, I said, agitated. “How could he even decide to ruin what had started out so beautifully. Was this intentional?” I asked myself. “Or is it just a deed, one pulled out of ignorance”, I wondered again. “But no. There's no way it was a hidden fact that these two people were the least people Kelcie needed and at least not in this party”, I thought angrily.“Yes I did”, he replied. “I sent out an envoy to them as well. And though they did agree to come around, my boys reported that they sensed a negative reception of the message they carried. It was as though they both did not seem happy about that and that's where I would like you to come in and explain to me. Why?” He asked as he gazed at me.“You don't know why? It's because they hate us, they hate her. They might act as though they're cool and do not have a problem with us but it's all lies. That's why I don't want my daughter around them. I can't even imagine you invited them Josh. Thought

    Charlotte McCartney We both sat looking like items picked out of an aristocratic box. Kelcie looked all dazzling and adorable in her dress while I on the other hand looked well like the wife of a billionaire. Right after the makeover everyone we passed became instantly attentive on more than two instances, I caught two sets of wealthy customers whispering to one another as we passed through, I even over what the other set said.One asked, who are these glamorous people ? Seems like they're from some billionaire family of something of that sort”.The other responded, “they're always waltzing around acting as though they run the world. Well they don't run my world, they'll never run my world”.Even the Chauffeur seemed a little confused when we got outside though he did a great job concealing it and was quick to respond as soon as sighted us but his contemplation was very apparent all the same.“Mommy are the horses going to be at my birthday?” Kelcie asked, as we headed home. “The ho

    Charlotte McCartney Maudere was like a god in our city, he was a former religious leader, a former politician, one of the senators of our republic. At a time he was the most renowned psycho physician in the whole continent during his era. Till this date, his clinic still stands amongst the most prominent in our city. As of these days, he opened a small massage agency as a retirement settlement, one that he takes around the world to offer massage and mental therapeutic services to the richest men in these cities. “Looks like Josh had booked this exclusive service for me and Kelcie on this occasion of her birthday. This would have cost much more than a fortune for a regular working class man”, I mused.“Good afternoon ma”, a very attractive woman of about my age or thereabout greeted me. She was also very elegantly and richly dressed. “Please follow me”, she said to me and Kelcie. “Mr Maudere does not like to be kept waiting”.Maudere was an equally elegantly dressed man in his sixti

    Charlotte McCartney We stood in front of a huge building with the words “Majesty's Care” largely inscribed at its front.“Mommy what is this place?” Kelcie asked, as curious as I was or maybe a little more for at least I could read the sign board.“I think it's a salon”, I said, not entirely certain. Most salons around had similar names but this particularly looked different, way bigger to be precise.“Mommy is it for my birthday?” She asked, seeming more excited than curious now.“I guess there's only one way to find out”, I said, flashing a smile.The journey to this place had not exactly been exciting to me. It was true that Lydia had stated a valid point and I had taken it to heart to at least chill out just a little bit. But that couldn't change the fact that I was really anxious. It was even a little more different now we were being taken out of the house. “To where exactly?”, I asked myself worriedly.Ever since we moved to Josh Xavier’s country home, Kelcie had not gone out

    Charlotte McCartney The door swung open before we even knocked and we were greeted by Lydia's familiar face and smile.“Ms Lydia!” Kelcie screamed, surprised to see Lydia. I was too but unlike my daughter, I expressed mine quietly.“Happy birthday baby Kelcie”, Lydia answered smiling.“Yes Ms Lydia. Today is my birthday. Thank you Ms Lydia”, Kelcie responded excitedly. “Mommy is organising a party for me. And Josh said my birthday party is going to be a really big one”, she announced. “Is that so? That is lovely. You're going to have a lot of fun today Kelcie”, Lydia replied, feigning surprise. “Yes Ms Lydia I will”, Kelcie said, beaming with joy. “You have to come also Ms Lydia. Promise you'll attend my party”, Kelcie said, with pleading eyes.“Definitely dear", she said, assuringly. “But before then,we do have some plans for your morning by the way”, she added, as though she was trying to not leave the important things out.“yay!!! I'm so happy”, Kelcie said at the top of her voi

    Charlotte McCartney For almost one week, I had been waking up later than usual. But today I did not. Today I woke up earlier than usual. “My baby has a habit of waking up before everyone else. So today I tasked myself to wake up earlier than I would on a normal day. Because today is my baby's birthday. Back home, this day was mainly a day for my baby and I because no one really seemed to care what day it was. Yes, mom had once hosted a party to celebrate Kelcie's birthday and Whitney may have given Kelcie a present or two, that was mostly all. “They both didn't care so much for Kelcie. Grandfather is the only one who would have truly cared for my baby. But here, in Josh Xavier's home, I know my baby has met people who care for her genuinely”, I said to myself as I sat, thinking.“Josh has promised Kelcie the best birthday celebration she can imagine. I also can't wait to see what he has planned out for her. But I can't let anyone wish my baby a happy birthday before I do. I cannot
