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. I dashed out of the h
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
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 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
Chapter one mom who did you say is coming for the Easter dinner at grandma " She smiled at me "Ohm your uncle Mark. You know its been long since I had seen him. My baby brother. He was just a tiny little thing when I last saw him." Her eyes lit as she recalled his baby form. " He was so little yet so handsome just like you. dad, like his dad." She swayed to the other side of the room and I managed to catch glimpse of her tear. Briskly she wiped it off and smiled. " you know..." she swiftly turned to face me, a small smile plastered on her oval face. " Never mind baby, get me the cane in the garage I want to give it to my mother." I nodded as I dashed out of the room. An involuntary sigh escaped my lips as I grabbed the cane from the far corner of the room. Its shiny armour was the only thing that could help me determine its position. " you know Ivy, he was so cute when he was a baby, I bet he now has muscles and girls drooling over him. He was so cute and handsome." Those word
Chapter two I slid down the slippery stairs, feeling the air leave my lungs a little before l landed perfectly with a simple thud. I dashed through the leaving room to the dining table. “Fuck" I stopped abruptly, assessing everyone sitting at the dining table. I crossed my dangling slicer watch and it was only 6.30 and they were already gathered here. ‘Fuck' I did a little breathing exercise, I rubbed my sweaty hands on my sweaters. I slipped into the chair next to Blue eyes, those dreamy eyes. I swayed my eyes to my mother who was currently set like a statue, her head lowered. Swiftly I moved my gaze to everyone, they all had their heads bowed down. I shrugged my shoulders as I grabbed a bowl full of potatoes, and dished a handful. I cleared my throat as I shoved the food into my mouth. “Dear Lord" She historically dropped her hands on the table and clutched the table cloth a little. Grandma ‘eyes went out of their wrinkled sockets. “Clara what on earth did you teach your
Ivy” I heard someone shaking me, I was deep in my slumber. “Ivy” I groaned as the whisper got persistent. I pulled the blanket over my head. “Ivy “the voice was deep and whisky as it pulled the blanket away from me, I bolted upright, and switched the lamp near my bedside. “what do you want?” I nearly screamed, “shhh, you are eligible for clubs right” I looked up to find Mark staring at me. “it’s late Mark, let me sleep,” I said as l pulled the blankets over my body. “are you this boring? Let’s go to the club, I don’t have a partner, I promise I will bring you back before morning” he said as he pulled me out of the blankets. “fine wait, I need to wear clothes first” he gave me an overall look and went straight to my monarch. He opened it and threw the first thing he came across. “wear that, I am running out of time,” he said as walked out of the room. I sighed as I pulled the skirt and top. “let’s go?” I said as I closed the door. He didn’t even bother looking at me as he saunt
The day dawned crispy and clear. The morning sun poured through my window forcing me to squint my eye as I pulled the blanket over my head. " A minute, just a minute" I whispered to the morning gods. " Ivy" the shrilling voice of my sister brought me anguish. Won't she let me sleep? " Ivy wakes up, your dumb ass," she said as she shook me awake. " Lizzy just a minute" I groaned as I sank into the bed. " A minute! Are you crazy, it’s after one!" she said as she pulled the blankets away. " you went to the club and came back drunk," she said and she scoffed. " And you left me, me your sister. Since when did you start doing things I don't know about, huh?" I groaned and opened my eyes slowly. " Lizzy doesn't open the window," I said as the mid-afternoon sun blinded my eyes. " why? It stings in here" she opened the windows. " But since when did you and Mark go out at night, huh? ". She said as she walked closer to the bed. Even I was wondering the same thing. Had I done something

Mark's Provo My phone rang. I let it ring for some time before answering it. It had been ringing for hours I can wait for 60 seconds more. “ Hello, it's Lisa! 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
Good morning Ivy,” mom entered the room. She stopped in her tracks. She sniffed the room and looked at me.“ did you open the window?” I shook my head. “ that is why it smells funky in here_” she dashed towards the window and opened it.“ Ivy, darling_” she sighed and walked towards the bed.“ I have seen some changes in you that are alarming. “ she looked at the bed than at me.“ Can I sit?” she asked. I nodded my head.“ What is wrong with you these days, your eyes are always bloodshot and your mood is just changing. I might not be your biological mother but I was there for you, I raised you kike my dear, with my own hands! I know when you are not yourself” she said. I studied her profile. “ Nothing is the wrong mother, I am fine” she flinched and Scooted far from me.“ Even your voice! “ she whispered.“ you sound like a man” I rolled my eyes.“ I have to go,” she said as she dashed lit of the room. I felt normal. Nothing had changed apart from the sorrow I had.
Chapter 41I sighed for the fifth time since I had returned home, the cola can in my hand. I grabbed my phone and typed the number for the second time. 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. One of my boys made it and surprising people want that shit on the marke
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
