"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

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

    Chapter 20Amelia's hands began to tremble as she read the message over and again"Who is this?" she asked herself. She tried to call the number to know who sent the message but she couldn't connect to the person. After several attempts, she made up her mind to seek help on how to find out who was behind the message. "Hi Rosa" she greeted as she got to where Rosa was at the back of the building with her iced tea in her hand"Huh, Amelia? What are you doing here today? You are not expected to be here today until you are okay" she scolded"Exactly what I told her, Rosa, " Cassy said from behind, carrying a bucket in her hand. "Come on, Rosa, I'm bored. I'm not used to sitting at home and doing nothing, I might fall sick if I stay another day in that house doing nothing" Amelia whined"Okay, of what use are you to POCHARD, if you can't use your fingers to do anything today, why not take advantage of the break and relax" Rosa said"I will Rosa", Amelia said as she looked around to s

"You are one scary little bunny" Fernandez teased his friend and they both laughed and hugged"You know I can't match your energy," Andrew said as they disengaged from the hug. "Good to see you man, it's been a long time, thank goodness you are back, it's been one hell of a roller coaster surviving here without the right people by your side" Fernandez lamented"You don't look like someone struggling to survive here, you look amazing, you are doing amazingly well my friend," Andrew said as he gave him a buddy hug. "You are not serious, you won't believe what I have to deal with daily. I have only found a way to smile through it" Fernandez said "Mmmm, I still think you have done well, I mean, take a look at your crib, it looks fabulous, it's better than how it was before I left" Andrew complimen

She sat on the bench which was there and cried for a while "Who could this be? What's going on? How did this get out? Has Chloe betrayed me?" she asked herself. While she was still thinking about the situation, her phone rang and she took out her phone from her bag. She rolled her eyes as she saw her aunt's name displayed on the screen. "Not now Aunty, not now please" she said and left the phone to ring. Her aunt persistently called her so she had no choice but to answer"Hello Aunty" she answered, her voice stern.

    "Oh, what a beautiful day it is" Amelia mumbled as she pandiculated. She scanned around for a sign of Rosa and when she didn't see or hear any sound, she gently stepped out of bed."Hey there, you are up already" Rosa greeted her cheerfully and Amelia was amazed.Last night and nights before, Rosa has avoided her and has not ceased to constantly remind her of how she hid the truth from her. "Good morning Rosa" she greeted sceptically. "Good morning, did you sleep well?" she asked with a bold smile on her face. "Yes I did and you? You look rather too cheerful, what's up?" Amelia said as she slowly walked towards Rosa. "Oh sure I did, it's very obvious as you can see," Rosa said, still smiling. "It certainly is and I wonder what happened to you. Why are you so happy this morning?" Amelia asked as she gently lowered her on the couch. "Mmm, it's a long story, I'll tell you, but first, you have to go brush your teeth and get dressed because we are going out together" she said and Am

Fernandez asked"Mmm, it's been four days now" she replied"Four days? And you didn't bother to call me? That's not fair Val, c'mon. Have I become that insignificant to you?" Fernandez asked "Oh no, c'mon Ferz, you know you can never be insignificant to me, you are a vital part of my life. The thing is that I lost my phone and I asked my mum to get it from your Mum. She just sent it to me a few hours ago, I'm sorry" she said"Hmm, it's okay, I'm happy you are back in the country, can't wait to see you" He said "Me too, how about we meet up tomorrow, my parents are already planning a welcome party for me.

    After speaking to her mother on the phone, Mrs Tiguan returned to her almost confused son. "Yeah, as I was saying son, your father and I have been thinking of you settling down. You've done so well for yourself and the company that everyone is pleased with you. So it's time you have someone by your side to help harness your success" she said looking at her son whose face was void of expressionFernandez batted his eyelid and turned to his father who nodded to him"Mum, I thought we've been through this before? I have told you I will get married when I find the right one for me.I haven't found anyone who is genuinely in love with me. They all want my money and name, they are only interested in what I represent. I can't settle with such opportunists" he said"Oh my child, the reason for that is because you are searching in the wrong places, you are pitching your tent in the slum filled with beggars and gold diggers.

    Amelia was not too pleased with Hamilo calling her out of the blue and inviting her to hang out with his friends. She thought of blocking him so that he wouldn't have access to her any more but on second thought she decided to leave things the way they were. Her phone rang and it was her aunt and her heart skipped a beat. She cleared her voice before picking up the call. "Good morning Aunty" she greeted her immediately "What's good about this morning Amelia? You've made it a habit to not return home any longer after work huh?" she queried"It's not like that Aunty, something came up that prevented me from coming back last night," Amelia said"And you didn't think you needed to call or send a message? It's not like I care anyways, so long as you have the money to give to me for this month's bill, you can stay wherever the hell you like" her aunt said and Amelia chuckled. She bit her lower lips and was quiet for a moment before summoning the courage to respond to her aunt. "Well A

    Fernandez drove with the thought of everything Lucia said to him. He reminisced on his past with Lucia and chuckled"She has changed a lot. The ugly, skinny and big-eyeballed Lucia has changed to an attractive lady" he said to himself, with a pleasing smile Fernandez got to his parent's house and got out of his car. He was stunned to see his father's missing car and the police patrol car in the compound. He called one of the security guards"What's going on here? Why is the police car here?" he asked"Sir, Diaz was trying to sell your father's car to a car dealer. When he was asked to provide the code to unlock some of the car features, he couldn't The buyers suspected that he had stolen the car and they secretly alerted the police.

"I've prepared breakfast, ensure you eat before you leave," she said turning her back against AmeliaAmelia couldn't respond because Rosa was still very angry with her. "If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me," she said, moving close to the mirror to brush her hair."Good morning Rosa" Amelia greeted Rosa ignored her greeting as she continued brushing her hair. "Rosa… um… can we talk?" Amelia asked expecting Amelia to respond instead she intensified the brushing"Rosa please talk to me. You've been quiet towards me ever since we got back yesterday. I know you are very upset with me but please let me explain to you. It's not completely what you think" Amelia said, yet Rosa did not utter a word. "Rosa… " Amelia called again but was cut short by Rosa"I don't want to talk to you, can't you see Amelia?

    Amelia stood impatiently waiting to hear from Rosa. After about fifteen minutes without Rosa in sight, she decided to walk into the building to Mr Rasmus' office. As she approached his office, she heard Mr Rasmus' voice and her heart raced. "I can't keep having her here. Amelia has been a good staff, hard-working, dedicated and committed, no doubt. However, her recent sense of laxity is messing things up and I can't put up with that. Such an attitude is bad for business.Why would she leave the company without any form of notification whatsoever? "Sir, she said you were in a meeting with a client and she didn't want to interrupt your meeting. She had to leave because it was very urgent. Matter of fact, it was life-threatening"Rosa tried to convince Mr Rasmus to give Amelia another chance considering her last record with the company. However, Mr Rasmus' mind was made up. "I'm sorry Rosa, I can't grant your request this time. I want Amelia gone not because she can't do better if

    Amelia just stood without saying anything. Her brain was communicating to her but her lips were too numb to part ways to produce a sound. She blinked several times not knowing whether to tell the truth or trying to act ignorant. She kept stuttering until Rosa shook her"Answer me, Amelia, are you pregnant" she asked again, this time her voice was louder than the first time.Amelia scanned around to be sure no one was listening to their conversation. She looked down at her fingers as she nibbled them"Can you please bring down your voice?" she said nervously to Rosa who was stunned and angry at the same time."Tell me the truth Amelia or I will raise my voice even higher" Rosa threatened.Amelia sniffled and wiped her sweaty palms on her dress. She tried to reach Rosa, however, she stepped backwards"I'm listening, Amelia, speak now" she commanded. "Oh Rosa," Amelia whimpered, "I'm so sorry for lying to you all this while. I was afraid you might judge me, you might distance yourself
