"Call me baby when you drop down in New York," Mrs Tiguan said as she hugged her son who had come to bid her goodbye passionately."Sure Mum, I will call you. Do not get into any form of argument with anyone. If there is anything you need or is bothering you, just call me" he said as he gestured with his hand. "Alicia is here, I have directed her on the things she needs to do for you," Fernandez said again as he disengaged from hugging his mother to look at her."Alright baby, you don't worry, I will be fine and I will stay out of trouble I promise you," she said and threw her hands open for another hug Fernandez hugged her one last time before beckoning on the driver who was taking him to the airport to come and get his luggage"Bye Alicia and stay out of trouble okay? Never leave her for a second, keep an eye on her even if she is going to the restroom" he said to Alicia who went to hug him. He hugged her for a while and then lifted her face to look at her "No Alicia don't do that o
Amelia got into the room and plugged in her phone to charge. After a few minutes, she turned it on because she was expecting a call from Rosa.She flopped herself on her bed thinking of what to do with her life. Everything seems normal now because no one has found out about her pregnancy except for Chloe. She has made her promise her she wasn't going to divulge the secret to anyone.Amelia thought of going back to the club again at least for the last time before deciding what to do next. But she has resolved within her never to hurt her babies whether or not she finds Fernandez."Where are you, stranger? How come you didn't leave a trace of yourself behind? Was I that horrible that you don't ever want to see me again?" she thought aloud.Just while she was still thinking of what next step to take, her phone rang. She took her phone to see who the caller was and to her greatest astonishment, it was the same number that had been calling her for weeks.This time the number rang for a whi
"Hello, are you there?" Ricky asked again and the caller responded"Hello Ricky, it's me, Alberto. I have important information for you" he said"Okay, where do I meet you up" Ricky asked "Meet me this weekend at the goose club by 3 pm" he said"Why the weekend? Can't we make it earlier than that?" Ricky asked looking a little "I'm on my way to Brazil, I have an important family meeting," he said and hung up."Does that relate to me in any way?" Fernandez asked without taking his eyes off his laptop."Yes sir" Ricky replied as he continued to sort the files he had brought to Fernandez."So, what's the update?" Fernandez asked "He didn't say, he asked for us to meet this weekend" Ricky said.You could feel the tension between both of them. Ricky was sulking as a result of Fernandez's outburst a few minutes ago. "Who is the guy? Where did you know him from?" Fernandez asked."He is a friend of my cousin," Ricky replied. "And who is your cousin?" "You haven't met him, you don't know hi
There was a knock on the door and Amelia quickly opened the door"Chloe!" she exclaimed excitedly, "thank you for coming," she said as she led her to the couch."Mmm, thank you, Amelia. The truth is I was bored at home so I needed to go out. My parents have gone to their usual business meeting and I'm left alone with the bits of help. You know being an only child sometimes seems like a curse" she lamented and Amelia just hugged her."At least you are with your parents, you have your parents with you. You are not threatened to be thrown out at any slightest provocation, made to borrow money to fix appliances or asked to pay rent" Amelia said with a smile."You experienced all this?" Chloe asked, surprised."Yes, and much more Chloe, there are lots of things you don't know, but I have decided to live with it because I know it's temporal. If I work hard enough, I will be out of here a better person" she said "I never knew you go through all of this. Yes, I know your aunt is mean and tro
"Go with you? To where?" Amelia asked as she gently withdrew her hand from Lyon's still looking perplexed. "Um, Amelia, my parents and I are relocating to Dubai. My father has been there for twelve years. He has most of his business there so he has asked that we come over and join him there."Yeah right, just what I needed" Amelia exclaimed as she suddenly dropped her cutlery. "What's going on huh?" She asked and Lyon had this look of confusion on his face."I don't understand, what's going on where?" Lyon asked her "First it was Chloe who will be relocating to France to complete her education and now you?" she said with a frown"Wait, what? Chloe is relocating to France? No way, she told you that?" Lyon asked."Of course she did, she is my friend," Amelia said. She looked at Lyon wondering why he would ask if Chloe told her about her plans to relocate."Wow! I wasn't expecting Chloe to not graduate from our school. She has always liked the school and has bragged about finishing her
"Who is Amelia?" Fernandez asked again nervously and the workers were amazed at his disposition. They were afraid to speak"Hmm-hmm" Soledad cleared her voice "Sir, Amelia is the daughter of Matilda, the new staff" she said as she pointed to the new lady who bowed her head in fear of been punished. Fernandez turned to the lady, " You are Matilda? When were you employed? " he asked."Three weeks ago" she said, her voice trembling."And where is your daughter?" he asked her"She is in the staff quarters" she said and curtsied but immediately turned when she heard her daughter's voice"I'm here mama" Little Amelia said Everyone was surprised to see her in the main building as Mr Tiguan has instructed that the staff kids should stay at the staff quarter. Fernandez was fascinated by her beauty and innocence. He looked at her for a while and forced a smile before turning to Matilda"How old is your daughter?" he asked her curiously"She is five, sir" she said without raising her head
"Who is who?" Fernandez asked looking a bit confused"Come on Fernandez, you know what I'm talking about," she said as she wiped her mouth with a napkin. "No Grandma, I don't" he said as he scooped another food into his mouth"Ahhh!" his Grandmother let out a frustrated groan. "I am talking about the woman in your life," she said and Fernandez choked.Fernandez began to cough and his Grandmother offered him a glass of water and tapped his back gently. He coughed for a while until better "Abuela?" he called with a little frown"I'm sorry my darling, I didn't mean for that to happen, forgive me" she apologised and patted his back. "Mmmm," he said and pouted. He began to eat his food trying to avoid his Grandmother's gaze but as hard as he tried, he could still feel her piercing eyes on him. "Okay Grandma, jeez," he said as he dropped his cutlery "Your eyes won't allow me to concentrate on my food, each scoop I took is as though you snatch them from me with your eyes" he grimaced"Me
Chapter 19"Hold on Amelia," Lyon said as he followed her "I didn't mean to upset you, listen, I'm sorry if I said anything to provoke you" he continued to apologise"Listen, Lyon, I am not the woman you want, I can't give you what you want" she said as she looked at Lyon apologetically."What do you mean? What are you saying? You are what I want and more. Yes, I know we are both from different social standing, but who cares, I love you and that's all that matters. Please come with me, let's go build our own lives together" he pleaded with Amelia. "Don't be silly Lyon, it's not that easy. Do you know how long it will take for us to build? We aren't done with school yet. Yes, you might have some money to your name, but how long do you think that will take you before you finish and get a job?""Amelia, I have enough money, my parents have given me more than enough. I'm not only going to depend on that, I have things I do for myself that I also earn from" he assured Amelia"And d
