Gary stopped the car in front of an abandoned warehouse. He stared at it and glanced back at the man sitting in the backseat that has been staring at his phone since he got into the car. “Are you really sure we shouldn’t have come with the police.”

Michael heaved a sigh, his gaze not leaving the family photo that was his home wallpaper. It was taken in the zoo, the first time he was able to join them. Sapphire was holding a really big cotton candy and grinning. Christopher as always preferred not to take anything and just stood beside his mother with a soft smile. Sasha was grinning like Sapphire, she too was holding a cotton candy, while he, he just had his arm around her shoulder and his other hand placed on Sapphire’s shoulder to keep her from running away and his eyes were on Sasha as he was wearing a soft smile like his son.

This was his home, a home he had always dreamed of but never actually thought he could get it but then just like a Christmas miracle, everything fell into pl

    The door creaked open and a man entered, he stared at the thin figure of a woman on the floor and sighed. Pulling the chair in the room, he placed it in front of her and sat down, crossing his leg on the other. “How are you, Sasha?”The woman raised up her head, her platinum blonde hair was covering half of her face, her honey brown eyes stared at the man hollowly, she smiled, a very sad but sinister smile, “how do you think I am?” her voice was hoarse and the man had to strain his ear to hear her.“Once again I apologize for what you have become, you were more vibrant when you were newly brought here, I apologize for turning you into that.”“When are you letting me out of here? When are you giving me back my freedom? From my understanding of your discussion two days ago, Michael didn’t fall for your plans, turns out my presence is not enough to make him go crazy when his business is concerned, so can you let me go now? My children needs me.”“You talk like you don’t have fate in him?

    Michael led Sasha to the car why the cops rounded up the men. Gary was so happy to see her and he didn’t hesitate to show it. He flashed a big smile to her, “I’m so happy to see you again. Everyone has been really worried.”Sasha returned the smile, “thank you.”He opened the car door for her and she entered, Michael followed her while Gary got in the driver’s seat and started the car, he glanced at Michael through the review mirror, “where to boss?”“Hospital,” Michael replied.Sasha glanced at him then, “Why are we going to the hospital?”“Sasha you were kidnapped, naturally we should go to the hospital and check up on you. You look so thin,” there was anger and sadness in his voice, “the cops will also come to see you, I want to know if you are up for it before letting you go through so much stress.”Sasha nodded and glanced at the window as Gary drove out of the property. Gary continuously glanced at the rearview mirror at the quiet couple and he felt heaviness in his heart, he ha

    By evening, everyone filled the hospital ward again. Sasha was so delighted to see her kids again, while Sapphire had run to her on seeing her, Chris had just stood by the corner and watched them. She had reached out for him and he had went to her, but he wasn’t as enthusiastic as Sapphire. The family stayed and laughed and later in the night, everyone started leaving. Angelica and Nicholas took the children and they said goodnight while the rest all promised to come back in the morning.Michael sat beside her like he had been doing the whole day and held her hand again, since there were just both of them; Sasha turned her face from him once more. Seconds ticked by and he finally said, “you are angry with me aren’t you?”She said nothing.“I can understand,” he sighed and licked his lips, “I don’t know where to begin but I know one thing, I wronged you. I wronged you badly and I know simply asking for forgiveness isn’t going to make you forget the pain and hurt it brought you but I’m

    Michael walked to the elevator and pressed the ground floor button. As the doors closed, he leaned on the wall and closed his eyes, his hands in his pantsuit pockets. He was gradually slumping inside himself and he didn’t want that and so tried his possible best not to think or be emotional. The elevator dinged and he jumped slightly, waiting for the doors to open. As it did, he walked out and smiled at the nurse there. He heaved a sigh and quietly walked out of the hospital. The sky was dark but with the help of the street lights, he could see how bright everywhere was, too bad he wasn’t as bright as it and really wished it would go dark and moody like he feels.There weren’t much people on the street and he loved it like that, he took a step and then slowly strolled along the street. He was like an empty vessel walking through the street. His mind was deeply preoccupied with the memories of his wife. From the very first day he had met her when he was thirteen, he had been smitten by

    Sasha was discharged later in the evening and Sapphire and Chris were the most happy when they were going home. Right in the car, Sapphire had started telling her about the things that happened in the school back when she was not around and Sasha listened attentively to her with a smile. Michael was the one driving and Chris was sitting in the front seat with him because Sasha wanted to stay with Sapphire.He glanced at them from the rearview mirror, a smile playing on his lips as he felt his heart swelling in happiness. Although Sapphire wasn’t as moody as Chris during Sasha’s absence but he hasn’t seen her talk and laughed so much since she wasn’t around and that made him understand that she had missed her mother too but just wasn’t as obvious as Chris.When they got home, Hannah welcomed them and let them know that dinner would be ready soon while she went upstairs with the kids to freshen them up.

    Michael sat in his study room going through some office work, it’s been six days since Sasha came back home, she haven’t brought about her break again but things hasn’t been smooth between them still. She hardly talks to Michael unless it involves their children and whenever he tried to raise a conversation between them, she either says she was not in the mood or she ignores him or walks out. Michael would be a liar if he says it doesn’t affect him, but he refused to give up or force her to speak to him.A knock on the door distracted him and he looked up at the door and ushered in, “come in.”The door pushed open and Sasha walked in fully dressed. Michael raised an eyebrow noticing her dressing, he was surprised for he had no idea she was going anywhere today also because of the fact that she hasn’t gone out for the past six days. Sasha stared straight at him, “we are leaving, I just thought you should know.”“I don’t understand,” he said, standing up, “what do you mean by ‘we are le

    Sasha sighed, she ran her fingers through her hair and licked her lips before glancing up at Vanessa, she didn’t know what to say. Possibly because that the past seven days she had been thinking the same thing, she had been wondering if maybe she and Michael weren’t meant to be, maybe they weren’t destined to be and now Vanessa had said the same thing. Maybe that would explain why they can’t be happy together, why every little thing was a problem between them. She just couldn’t say anymore and to be honest, it has been weighing her down, especially what would become of her kids if she and Michael were to divorce.Vanessa could see the stress she was going through and she sighed, “I’m sorry, I told you I was not asking you out to talk about Michael but he seem to be the only thing we have been talking about. What would you like to have?” she smiled and picked up her menu.Sasha exhaled and picked up hers but ended up picking their signature steak and Vanessa picked the same as well. Th

    “I don’t get it, what would it take you to tell her how you feel?” Sapphire asked the man beside her, staring at the windscreen of his eighteenth birthday car at the young girl with dark brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes. A girl she had known all of her life and has known that her brother was crushing on big time but will never tell her.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Christopher answered, tearing his gaze away from the girl even though it was so hard to do.Sapphire sighed, shaking her head softly, “this thing they say, like father like son, I think it’s true.”Christopher groaned tiredly, “please don’t start with your lectures about dad and mom relationship, please.”“I only use it because it the truth, I mean, look at you, you have been in love with Cindy for as long as I can remember, but tell her? Hell no,” she shook her head again.“I don’t love her.”“Yeah, keep lying to yourself,” she folded her arms on her chest, “it’s your birthday tomorrow, if you want, I can

    “Happy Anniversary,” Michael whispered to Sasha in the ear and she turned to him, staring at the small box he was handing her.“What is this?” she asked with a smile, taking the box from him.“Open it, who else asks what was given to them for anniversary?” Michael rolled his eyes, then kissed her forehead.Sasha chuckled and opened the box, she was surprised to see a key and she looked up at him with a raised eyebrow, “I don’t understand.”“Let’s go,” he smiled and grabbed her hand, leading her out of the house.“Where to?” Sasha asked, getting into the car.“To see your anniversary present, duh,” he laughed softly, getting into the car.They drove for twenty minutes and seeing the neighborhood they were driving through, Sasha frowned. “Are we going over to your parents’ house?”Michael chuckled but said nothing. Another ten minutes drive, they pulled in front of a massive gate. Michael glanced at Sasha and she raised her eyebrow at him. He smiled and turned to the windscreen, in seco

    “Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Christopher, happy birthday to you,” Everyone chanted as Sasha walked out pushing a cart with a big creamy cake with seven lit candles.Chris was all smiles and Sasha noted that she hadn’t seen him smile so much since they left home over two months ago. And deep inside, she knew the reason and she was happy that she and Michael were able to sort their differences before his birthday came and in a way, she was able to keep her promise of celebrating his birthday as a one big family without compromising anything, nothing could make her any happier.“Alright Chris, make a wish,” Vanessa said and Chris gingerly walked over to the table that holds his big cake, closing his eyes, he blew out the candles.“What did you wish for?” Sasha asked with a smile, ruffling his hair.“I didn’t make a wish,” Chris replied.Everyone frowned at that, “why is that?” Michael asked.“I sent an appreciation prayer,” Chris replied facing every

    Two weeks gone by, Sasha knew she has no grievances against Michael anymore, if even asked, she just wants them to be a family again but for some reason, she didn’t want to bring it up and was prepared to wait for him to do so. Her phone’s ringtone disrupted her thinking and she picked it from her desk, seeing the caller, she smiled and answered the call.“Sasha, how are you?” her voice drifted out from the phone.“I’m okay, Sharon and you?” Sasha asked.“I’m good. Are you in your office?”“Yes, why?”“I’m close by; you think we can grab lunch together?”“Definitely.”“Okay, I will wait for you at the restaurant.”“I will be there in five,” she answered and hung up the call. She closed the file she was supposed to be working on but instead was thinking about Michael and the time they spent in Paris. She grabbed her handbag and was out of the office in no time, bumping into Agatha. “Sorry,” she grinned, “what’s up?”Agatha glared at her while rubbing her nose, “I know you want to meet

    Michael entered the restaurant where he hoped to see Sasha according to her text message. He scanned the room and saw her sitting and sipping a glass of what appeared to be Robert Mondavi, he smiled and walked up to her. “Excuse me ma’am, can I join you?”She glanced up at him and smiled, “I’m sorry but I’m waiting for someone.”“Is that so, could it be your husband?”“No, just some douche-bag that wants to have lunch with me,” she grinned.Michael placed a hand on his chest, feigning hurt. “I’m sure if you give him time that you will discover that he is not a douche-bag.”“Oh really, you must be a Good Samaritan if you are speaking well of him without even knowing him,” she placed her hand under her chin and stared up at him, a smile playing on her lips.Michael couldn’t help but notice how angelic she looked in her casual white top and blue jeans, her platinum wavy hair was falling down her shoulders like waterfall and he was gripped by the urge to lean down and kiss her, but instea

    Michael got ready for his meeting that was starting in the next hour, he quickly grabbed his files and left his room, hoping to catch a quick breakfast with Sasha before he left. He already made orders in the restaurant and he hoped it would be ready by the time they got there. He heaved a sigh and knocked on her door softly, but after waiting for some seconds and there was no answer, he had to knock again, louder this time. Few seconds later, the door was thrown open by a really sleepy Sasha. He chuckled and raised an eyebrow, “late night?”Sasha yawned in a really not lady like manner and she showed that she didn’t give a damn what he thought, “some of us found it hard sleeping even after turning in. I Face timed with the kids and mom can be you know, something else.”Michael smiled, “well, since clearly you still need sleep, I will leave you to it.”“You are living already?”“Not till the next hour.”“I guess I really slept in didn’t I?”“It doesn’t matter, I will let them know to

    Time flew by with Sasha and Michael getting closer than they ever thought they would, Sasha couldn’t help but feel that agreeing to start from the very beginning with him was the best decision she had ever made.She drove over to the Brown’s Villa where Vanessa had asked her to meet her. Arriving to the Villa, her children ran out to meet her and she was surprised, they have been staying with her mother for the past week now because she refused to let them leave, so what were they doing there?She kissed both their cheeks and they went inside together where she saw her mom and Vanessa laughing really hard at something. “Wow, that’s a sight you don’t see every day,” she smiled, walking up to them.“Sasha dear,” Vanessa smiled, “you are here.”The kids left her hands to go continue with their play. She kissed her mother on the cheek, “hi mom,” and then she kissed Vanessa as well, “hi mom.”“Aren’t you a sight for sore eyes dear,” Angelica said.“Oh, why wouldn’t she be, when I don’t kno

    Sasha opened the door to the man standing outside dressed in a black blazer and white polo underneath and blank pants. He looked so different from the always in suit businessman she has come to know and she couldn’t not notice how handsome he looked.Michael was struck by the beauty of the lady in white in front of him; the gown she was wearing was among the recent things he bought for her during the time he got something for the kids. Never in his life had he imagined that she would wear anything from there anytime soon. Her hair was up in a high ponytail with few tendrils dropping at her cheeks, she smiled at his perusal, slowly biting her lower lip. “Wow,” was all he could say.“Wow what?” Sasha asked, feeling all giddy inside. This wasn’t the first time Michael was taking her out to eat but it was the first time he was picking her up to go on a date. She had sent the kids and Hannah to her mother’s place because she has been complaining that they don’t spend time with her enough t

Then grabbing her clutch and phone, she killed the engine and climbed out of the car.She was the first to arrive among her friends and she loved that, for once she would be the one complaining of them keeping her waiting. It wasn’t long, she saw Janet pulling in and she grinned at her. Janet laughed seeing that and immediately after parking, she got down and went to her. “What is the matter Sash, why are you here already?”“Do you know how long I have been waiting?” she pretended to be angry.Janet laughed, “good for you, at least for once, you will be the one waiting.”Sasha grinned and glanced at the club door where two bouncers were attending to the long queue, “are you really sure we can get in there?”“Of course, why can’
