Nothing good can come out from meeting Edina. Thinking so, l tried to avoid her by dragging Sarah outside. Let's shop somewhere else Sarah. I said.Okay. Sarah replied.
Oh well! well! look whom we have here. A homewecker, a two faced bitch at that. Edina said just as l was passing her and the girl besides.
I halted my steps because l got angry by her dirty words. But thinking about the many people in shop, l ignored her and proceeded to get out.
Who knew that she wasnt planning to let me go. Just as l reached the entrance of the shop, my hair was grabbed by Edina. That action me to turn and face her.
What do you think you are doing? I asked her.
And who said that you are in any position to question my actions? She snapped.
Look am not here to have arguments with you. So l will....... Oh shut the hell up you bitch. I didnt finish my words when she scolded me again and ordering me to shut up.
She looked at me with disdain and
Yes l met her today. Why did you ask? I answered calmly and then inquired. I just worried that you got hurt but after seeing how you faced her confidently and defend yourself l relaxed. He voiced back. Wait wasnt he supposed to take his daughter's side. Why he instead worried about me being hurt? I inwardly asked myself but l couldnt get the answers. Since your shopping was ruined l will pick you up for lunch be ready at 12:30 he added. Okay daddy will. I softly responded him. By the way how is your wound now. I asked. Its just a minor one we do not have to worry about it. He replied. Alright baby l will finish something here and come to you.Bye for now. He added. Sure daddy l will be waiting bye. I mouthed. With that we hung off the call I got dressed in a navy blue long dress and let my hair loose. Previously l was dressed in a denim min dress. But when Sarah said that l might run into mr. Gavin's people, l reconsid
We exchanged few more words with their mum. A middle aged woman came holding a glass of milk. Here you go first madam. She put it no the table beside the sofa am in. I guess she is the Agnes they were talking about earlier. Thank you aunt. I politely said. She only gave me a smile and left. I hold the glass of milk and drank half of it. Is George here or still? I heard mr Gavin's mum mrs Maina ask. He has come but he went to freshen up first mum.. Oh its better for every one to be here. We introduce outrself to Ashina at once not making her tired with greetings. Mrs Maina said glancing at me with a smile. I smiled back softly and hold my head down. Everyone was observing me intently.l couldn't bring myself to look at each and every one of them in the eyes. I wondered what was running in their minds. Seriously speaking l thought that they will be unwelcome towards me but it turned out not to the case. Something isnt right. I dont know what it is but l feel it. A family as rich
We left to rest in the guest room upstairs. You dont have s room here? Why aint we going there? I gave mr. Gavin series of questions. No l dont have a room in this mansion. However there are my childhood and youthful belongs in one of the rooms fown stairs. I gave him a suspicious look. He then continued ; My parents, George and Doris moved into this house only five years ago and by that time l was leaving with my so called family. He narrated. What does he mean by the so called family? I asked inwardly. We used... Knock, knock Someone tapped on the door we are currrently in. Mr. Gavin went to open it. I took that time to observe the room. On had nothing special just the king sized bed, a dressing mirror table and a cupboard closet. I brought you deserts first master. I heard someone's voice which l assumed to be a maid. Thank you. Mr Gavin replied as he closed the door. Hmm it looks like it will taste good in my mouth.
Our wedding will come up soon. It will definitely. The wedding of the century. No one has to worry about that. He confirmed confidently looking in my direction . I looked at him too but later l l withdrew my sight. I cant believe what he just said. He fidnt even propose. He never even confessed his love to me. Why is he giving me false hopes? He already have a family. Okay he talked about breaking up with his wife but that was it. I heard nothing going between them.Still no divorce or whats ever. Am really confused. This man is so dominant that its hard for me to question anything.ls that the disadvantage of falling for someone more powerful and older than you? Oh God l really need to think properly. And at the moment l dont know what l should feel. Happy! Or Sad! But am sure for one thing is that l dont want his way of doing things. Not at all. In the end l excused myself to go to the bathroom. I left the siblings talk more.The more they maug
Mrs Maina is the only one in the living room watching tv.l walked in slow steps to where she is and sat down. Good morning and good afternoon mum. I greeted in a low voice. Embrassement washing over my face for having woke up late on the first day of my stay here. Oh dear you are up. How are you doing? Did you enjoy your stay...... Ahhhh you definitely did l see. Lets cover this up before anyone else see. She said exaggeratively while covering my neck with hair. Oh God! I couldnt be more embarrassed than this. Damn you daddy for leaving those love marks on me. I could on my curse inwardly. Well l.... I tried to say something but nothing come up. Its okay my dear. You dont have to be like this in front of me. By the way have you eaten? Gavin will kill all of us if we starve you. She said winking. I swear this woman is something else. There is a girl she went to bring me something to eat. The both of have to stop treating me
Its okay mum. Remember big bro told you not to cry again because of him. Doris told her mum.Yes l shouldn't cry because he had already moved on. Perhaps these are tears of joy. Mrs Maina responded.Mr. Maina was interviewed by the reporters but l didnt hear most of it. May attention was now on sobbing mother in law.Its all because of you Ashina. She added smiling at the same time clearing tears in her eyes.I looked at her confused. Yes ever since you came into my son's life, everything is going on smoothly now. Thank you Ashina. For along time l saw my son smile again. She emotionally said.I stood up and approached the sofa she sat in. Kneeling down, l hugged her. You dont need to thank me mum. I may not be his first love nor he my first one but am just sure of one thing. We were made for each other. I will love him unconditionally. I countered back still in her warm motherly embrace.Oh Ashina how l wished he met you earlier
The door bell rang nosooner had we started to descend the stairs . I think everyone is here. Dorris stated. I think so too. I said in response Lets go mum is about to send a maid for us. She added. I smiled admiring how she understands her mum. And jealous at her at the moment because mine doesnt even answer my calls. I wonder when my parents' anger subsidies because l do miss them alot. I sighed heavily. It took a century for you girls to finish preparing. Come lets welcome the guests. Mrs. Maina said waving at us. We are ladies of course mum we need to take our time so as to look more beautiful. Dorris voiced. Okay madam l got it. Ashina put this on. Mrs Maina handed me a red small box rectangular in shape. This mum? I asked some how confused. Its a gift my dear check it out and l could prefer that you wear it today. She responded with a smile. I thanked her and took the box from her. I
But their efforts went to vail since there is nothing about him . The only photo of him on the net are the current ones the media houses posted when he was signing as the the ceo of the GM company.I lived a wonderful week at the mansion with my in laws. No one spoke bout mr. Gavin's wife nor the kids. It was like am the only treasure they know in this world.They treat me too good. Everyone try to please at their best.I should have been happy if am the only woman in his life. But am not. l think l shouldnt be as long as his first wife and him have not divorced. He is not going there at their home anymore. I only wonder why they havent divorced.Are you done Ash? Dorris's voice that came ourside the door of my and mr. Gavin's room snapped me from my thoughts.l finished wearing clothes along time ago and sat on bed where l started to play with my phone. We are going shopping today. I suggested it to mr. Gavin since tomorrow is
Alec recorded a video himself where he saidGoodmorning every one. My name is Alec Thomas. Some of you may know me and others don't. Am the current ceo of Thomas group. And am here to clarify the rumors spread about my wife.My wife and l met two years ago and fellow in love with each other. At that time neither of the two of us where married or had any partner.So it's ridiculous for miss Linda to call my wife a mistress when she clearly knows every thing. Miss Linda and l were married for two years but divorced due to her betrayal as you can see in the video below this one. Please don't abuse my wife and family more because of this matter otherwise l will be forced to give a lawyers letter. Thank you for your time. Alec's clarification was belief. After his video another played. In the video two people appeared. One man and the other woman. They were in a hotel room. Have you got the document l told you from Alec, the man asked. I got everything in my bag. I even found something
You being a rich sometimes feels you are guilty of many things. And people treat you are you no human. That you have to give in to all their demands. Take Linda for example. She is a greed person and always want more even though she knows it's out of her reach. Mrs. Thomas said.Back then her father was a royal servant of my husband. He was a good mannered man and also keep others safe. As a reward for his hardworker, my husband arranged a marriage between the two families and also sent Linda abroad to study further. My husband died and in that very year my oldest son disappeared. So Alec had to marry Linda. Anyway there wasn't any choice made who should marry her when the arrangements were made. And that time Alec needed a wife for business.He treated her well and she never lacked anything. But she was deceived by others to betray her husband and the family. Now she keeps on pestering us as we owe her. She is just shameless. She added.So that what happened. I thought inwardly. I di
The kids were still asleep but with the help of their nannies, every thing became easy. Few minutes later we stood at the entrance of a gigantic door. It was not inside the mansion but attached to it in the sides. The door slowly opened on its own. A sharp lingering sweetness of incense filled my nostrils. Am not a fun of incense but this was too mouth watering. I inhaled it from time to time as we entered the hall. Like the dinning hall and other important halls in the mansion, the ancestral hall was also cathedral ceiled. It's just a free space with only a red carpet. No chairs. When you just enter you are faced with the alter on which many pictures of old people are displayed.Most of the elders and other youths were present. Old man also the family's only grandpa left on earth took lris from me. He also called the other three kids to go to the alter. He then knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Our dear great ancestors both paternatal and maternal ones l greet you all l present
Six months later we traveled to edini city. Mrs Thomas suggested that since we had named the baby with Thomas family name, she had to be presented to the ancestral hall in the mansion. She claimed that the baby will be blessed and protected. Neither l nor Alec argued about it. In addition to that, Tonny Alec's personal assistant'wedding was around the corner. It was planned to take place in Edini city. Thus this journey was inevitable. It was Saturday night when we landed. Unlike the past visits to Thomas mansion, this time it was filled with people of different ages every where. Is the Thomas family very big? I couldn't help but ask Alec. Yes there are so many people who live in different cities. They normally gather here when some thing important came up. He explained. I nodded. Most of these people ain't easy to deal with and they are greed for healthy in this main branch. We have to be cautious of every one here. Although l dealt with the person who staged the original Alec's p
Ashina's point of viewThe situation was already stagnant but Leyla was still stubborn. She dared to plot something like that to my daughter and thought that she will go scot free. What mind does she have?Ain't you going to apologize Leyla Anthony? I asked but Leyla only scoffed. In you dreams. She uttered without any fear. Very well then. I replied with a smile. At that time Leyla was being held by two body guards. I signaled to them and they got a hint. In the next seconds Leyla was forced to drop on the floor kneeling infront of me. She gasped in pain. I kept my smile as l saw her angry face.You bitch how dare you... Paa.... I slapped her so hard that my palm hurt. Whom did she call a bitch? I hate people to look down on me the most.You think you got it all that you are stepping on me. Bitch am telling that if you are to do something on me just do it otherwise you will... PAA...... Another slap..... Apparently she doesn't know that the word bitch is the reason why she is having
Leyla's point of view Ashina Warren thought that l was her friend few years back. Little did she know that she was the person l hated most in this world. At school she always took my spotlight. Even after school she shone brighter than any of the other girls in school with her wealthy family. And later she married Gavin Maina the guy l had eyes for and my father was in support of me. If l had married Gavin, our family would have been in top five in the country. The Maina family has alot of influence in Rabadan and country Z at large. I didn't expect that she will be a stabbing block in my way. I approached George who thought that l was madly in love with him. But all l wanted was his elder brother. Gavin was smart, outstanding and handsome despite the fact that he had aged. That bitch Ashina ruined our plans by marrying him. How could we just sit and let something that we planned for a long time just go to waste like that. We did everything but never succeeded. Her dad despite the
Ashina's point of viewI had stopped going to work. Every thing that needed my signature had to be done online. However after my pregnancy was in the second trimester, l couldn't even sit on the chair to do work for more than two hours. My head was ever buzzing and am dizzy for minutes. Alec had to take over my roles even though he did not want to get involved in the company anymore. I was sick every day. No every second that at the beginning of the third trimester l thought that l was going to die. My family couldn't do anything but just sit in the living room waiting for what is next.And the kids would just ask me when am going to play with them again. And that would make me sad. However thinking about the other baby in my womb, l had to fight hard to keep my emotions at bay. Surprising the last month l didnt get any sickness and was relieved that am going to give birth happily.l would even walk around in the garden and play with my kids. Who would have imagined that Leyla Anthony
Alec's point of view. It was there, l mean that sense of contentment when l entered the white villa after a long period of time. That is the thing l dont feel when am at the Thomas mansion in Edini city. Here it feels home. It's where l do belong but at the moment l wasnt enjoying it when my Ashina was suffering for our baby. I just finished the last meeting and decided to let her know that l was coming back. But Jane her secretary was the one who answered and informed me that she was in the hospital. Don't get confused. Ashina has two Janes . The one who is the kids' nanny and the other is the secretary at work. While rushing to the car to go to the airport, l asked her what happened. Ashina had informed me yesterday about her stomach discomforts and insisted that she was better. I stupidly believed her but apparently l made a grave mistake. I shouldn't have listened to her and call the doctor right away. Am not sure sir what. really happened to her. I called her several times a
Moments later the dizziness was gone. I helped myself on the railing and l went to my room. Climbing all the stairs almost took my life. I was breathing heavily when l made it to the room. My lips were dry to the extent that there was blood in the middle of my lower lip. I drank a bottle of water that was on table besides my bed.I lay on bed flat.My tummy's discomforts were back again and this it was serious. I tossed on the bed. Curved into a ball few times but nothing was helping. The discomforts turned into unbearable pain.At this time l regretted not allowing Alec to call a doctor.l tried to get my phone to ring the doctor myself and only to remember that l have left the phone down stairs. Luckily someone opened the door. I heard tinny footsteps. I could only imagine that lsla was the one that came in before l blanked out.When l came back to my sense, l was welcomed by a white ceiling and the smell of disinfectants. I knew that l was in the hospital right away.But still l fel
