A week had passed, mom had arrived and Trisha was beyond repair. She would talk when needed but her wounds had healed but the scars would always remain.

“ Titi” I called out to her. She was studying that was what she was doing these days study, go to school and come back.

“ yeah” she looked up

“ I booked a therapy session for you. You need to talk to a professional, you need the help.” She smiled.

“ I know, I was thinking the same. “ I nodded at her.

“ Titi I am going to Africa tomorrow, Mark had to move the date but I promise I will come back before you know it.” She smiled.

“ Relax, I will be fine, plus the people were arrested there is no need to worry.” She smiled

Trisha. “hey babes, did you find anything ” there was silence at the end. “Talk to me”“well do you know your mom was married before he got married to your dad” “no” she was what, married to who.“ I think you need to come home first.

    It had been exactly five months since the Africa saga. The whole house was tense and gloomy. Secretes after secrets had been unveiled but not my relationship with Mark. He had dropped talking to me. I didn’t care, all I care was about my well being and his being in the picture was disturbing. Whenever people talked about him, I would feel nervous. Felt like they had gone through my memory and come back. And my best friend had stopped talking to me, I felt alone and dejected. All I did those days was read, sleep and eat. I sighed as I picked up my cell phone and failed Trisha. She picked at the third ring. “ Hey sis, can we meet” Trisha stayed silent at the end of the line “why” her voice was cold and distance “because we stepped on each other’s toes and I need you in my life. We need to patch up” “meet me at the school library at four that ..” she ended the call. This whole issue placed a strain on our relationship.

She reached for me, tickling me. I screamed as her hand got in contact with my breast. For the past weeks, they have been tender and soft. They hurt here and there I think I have breasts.“Ivy you are becoming too sensitive ” her face was crooked, asking for an explanation. “well, my breast gets tender when about to experience my monthly flow” she nodded as she dragged me out of the room.“where are we going,” I said as I tried to slow her down.“breakfast ” she giggled and jumped slightly.

    Mark’s Provo “ Nah my back hurts” I groaned as I set up right. My head was spinning. My eyes hurt. I had drunk at least four bottles of wine last night. My eyes were bloodshot. I touched the bridge of my nose and cursed. “ daddy you said one should not curse__” she stood at the door, a cool in hand. “ Sorry, Princess. Good morning.” I said, motioning her to come to me. She dashed to where I was. She peered at me, her huge eyes boring into mine. “ morning father.” She smiled. “ you came back late yesterday, I waited for you. Yesterday was your birthday and you weren’t here to cut the cake.” She brushed her doll. “ I even baked it for you and even decorated the room downstairs.” My heart broke into million pieces. She had been waiting for me. My little Annabelle. But the most heartbreaking was my birthday. Had I lost family and friends over the past few years for them to forget? Maybe I wasn’t cut for love, maybe in the future I would be but now all I need is to focus on my bab

    Ivy's Provo It was a bright day. A weekend to myself. Annabelle had returned to her father. He had been distantly lately. The last day I saw him was when he came to my house to make me a millionaire. He always sends his head of security with Annabelle. Thinking about Mark wasn’t good. I sighed and moved my trolley of food from one row to another. “ excuse me, can I get those pickles,” I did to the heavily pregnant woman instinct of me. “ sure” she moved aside and I froze. “ Trisha?” my voice was a mare whisper. I didn’t know whether to be happy or to be angry with her. “ Ivy?” she looked shocked to see. “ you have changed?” it was more of a question than a statement. “ so have you, how many kids do you now have?” j asked. “ This is my fourth pregnancy.” She flashed me a smile but I didn’t miss the mock irony in her voice. “ that is great!” l forced enthusiasm in my voice. “ how many children do you have now Ivy?” I watched as she rubbed her stomach. Since when had she become

    Mark’s ProvoI stared at the court order.“ the nerve of that woman!” I gulped the whisky and poured another one. I didn’t want her to stay away from her child but this.. this was going to ruin my reputation, my businesses. How could she do this without talking to me first? I would have given her permission to see her daughter. To heck with her and her law degree. She was going to fight to her last blood.I gulped the last glass and made my way to Annabelle‘s room. She was fast asleep. I sighed, the travelling up and down was confusing her life. She needed to settle down. Maybe giving Ivy custody of the child would be better. She would settle down. She won’t have to move with me every time I decide to go for a meeting. As it is, she was already behind with her study.A small knock interrupted my thoughts. “ Boss?” I looked at my head of security. “ did you find anything on her?” he nodded.“ I found her location. It wasn’t hard to find.” I nodded.“ I have alr

    Mark's ProvoI stared at her, all I could see was her naked underneath my body. I shook my head as I got my head straight. “ You wanted to talk to me?” she posed the question. I watched her like an eagle. She had settled on the bed, her legs crossed. Her thighs were exposed and at that moment the desire to bed her vanished. She was a temptress. She has been teaching my child bad manners ‘ Sit properly “ I lashed out. She entangled her legs and I cursed as she flashed her inner things “ Ohh I am sorry about that" she flashed her big smile.“ I need you to pack your things and leave my house. Your money has already been deposited “ I breathed out. “ ohh," he said. Had I been neglecting my duties as a father to not notice she wasn’t here for m kids. She was here for me, for the mistress position. She had been neglecting my kid. I clicked my tongue. “ I want you out of my house within the next fifteen minutes. “ I didn’t wait for her to respond.

Ivy Stroked_,” An hour later I was navigating through the body road to get to the hospital. I cursed. If only I had taken more care when it came to her. “ Move your piece of shit!” I shouted at the street vendor. “ People don’t know how to be cautious,” I commented. The tires of the car screeched on the gravel road as I sped past the hospital. I rushed out of the car after a few minutes and headed towards the reception. “ IVY, where is she? She was brought here a few hours ago_" I looked at the receptionist. I glanced at my hands, they were shaking, sweats dotted on my palms. I felt air depart from my lungs. “ Where is she!” I shouted at her. She looked at me then that hehe computer. “ Her full name please?” she asked, her honey voice laced with ignorance. “ To hell with courtesy, “ I said and marched to every ward. I

Frustrated sighed and plopped back on the sofa. It was in the middle of the twilight. He would probably be asleep ‘ I had argued many times. I had eventually given up and returned to bed. For the past one hour, I turned and tossed. The one cigarette I had consumed wasn’t enough. I could not sleep. I had dumped my old routine for the past month, but that had not worked. I sighed as I got off the bed and headed out. After fifteen minutes I had arrive at the shop. “ I can not sleep, may I have sleeping pills or something that can help me with my headaches“ I confided in the man who has been selling me cigarettes and alcohol. He smiled“ I have new stock, let me give you” I nodded as he handed me a small package.“ you sniff it. Don’t worry it’s not cocaine.

    The bright morning sunlight poured into my room, waking me up from a deep slumber. Slowly I opened my eyes. I looked at the ceiling and sighed. I was home. The last thing I remember was I was in the bar drinking. From there everything went blank. I set up and yelped in pain. My head was killing me, my insides turning. I bolted from the bed and ran into the bathroom. I emptied all that was in my stomach. With wobbly feet, I stood up and headed for the shower. I let the warm water run, relaxing my muscles. After that shower, I felt relieved but the headache didn’t away neither the notion to sleep. My stomach rumbled with hungry. “ that’s my cue to head to the kitchen”, I mumbled to no one in particular. “ so you now go out in the middle of the night to drink and whore? “ I glanced at the chair she had inserted herself on. A small blanket covered her legs. “ Morning to you too mother, what a pleasant morning. Saw you slept on the floor” I looked at th

    I set on the balcony, a glass of whisky in hand. A pack of cigarettes lay next to the bottle of whisky. I drank the contents in one gulp, grabbed the cigar and lit it. I inserted it into my mouth and pulled the smoke into my mouth. I removed the cigar as the smoke choked me. I coughed hysterically and I poured another glass and gulped it in one go.“ Ivy that is enough” I swivelled my drowsy stare at her. I sighed and inserted the cigar back. I pulled the smoke into my mouth, this time I had acquired the skill. I didn’t choke, I let out the smoke slowly. “ Where is Terry’s mother ?” I drank a gulp of the whisky and felt the burning of my throat, the constriction of my throat as it made its way down there. “ And Lizzy?” I asked her.“ Same," she said as she strolled towards me, her hands curled into small fists. Her hazel eyes bulged with a fury that l didn’t understand. At that moment I realized she was in her element“ Young lady I said to stop drinki
