Amelia got home and brought out her clothes to dress up as she had already had her bath at Rosa's. While she was dressing up her aunt's husband barged into her room without knocking and Amelia was stunned. She immediately grabs her robe and covers herself. Her uncle Mr Ramirez looked at her lustfully and licked his tongue disgustedly. Amelia was anxious as she didn't want him to hurt her or her babies, she had never seen the uncle that way before so she was more concerned about him than scared. "Are you okay Uncle Ramirez?" she asked"Of course princess" he said and Amelia was worried. Never has he referred to her as a princess, he has always threatened her and treated her badly, 'why the sudden sweetness' she wondered"Do you need something?" Amelia asked him, making an effort to cover her exposed skin. "I didn't know you were at home, I thought you had gone to work" Amelia said "Uh, no, actually yes, I do. I was looking for my wallet, have you seen it around here?" he asked lo
Amelia was shocked to see her beloved Fernandez smiling at her. She was enthralled with his smile and alluring voice. "Come with me," he said, stretching forth his hands. Amelia placed her hands in his and he started leading her to the castle. Amelia suddenly stopped and he wondered why "The babies, we can't leave the babies" she said shaking her head. "The babies? What babies?" Fernandez asked looking perplexed"My babies, our babies," she said nervously "We have a baby?" he asked as his eyes widened in surprise"No, not a baby, I said babies, we have three babies, come, see they are over there" Amelia said with a smileFernandez followed her to where she had left the babies and he couldn't believe itThey were triplets, replicas of him and Amelia. The two boys look so much like Amelia and the girl is his complete replica. He was too stunned to speak, "Come closer, they are yours, we made them together on that night of intense passion," Amelia said as tears circled her eyes.
Fernandez arrived at Andrew's office looking very worried. "You look worried, what's going on?" Andrew asked. Andrew had just finished speaking with his girlfriend on the phone when Fernandez walked in. She has been away for her master's degree program in Sweden. Now she called to tell Andrew that she was coming back home and that made him excited. "Laura, Laura seems to be digging her claws deep into my skin for whatever reason she thinks she has" Fernandez said angrilyShe was the one that destroyed us, not me, she threw what we had away to the lagoon. I have told her a million times that it's over between us, yet she doesn't want to leave my life alone. She keeps trying to scheme her way back into my life. Now she has taken to blackmailing me, she's blackmailing me through one of her stupid friends with whatever stupid information she claims to have about Amelia" he said and rubbed his forehead. "She's doing that?" Andrew arched his eyebrow "Why? What for? I thought she had
Amelia stretched and rubbed her eyes, she took her phone and turned off the alarm. She looked at the time and sighed, 'One more hour to go' she thought to herself. She reminisced about the dream she just had for a few minutes, her face had the expression of both hurt and pleasure. She smiled to herself, excited that Fernandez came to get her and the babies, and the entire family welcomed them with great joy and a private moment with Fernandez brought great peace to her. She had a dreamy face thinking about the hugs, kisses, caressing and magical touch from Fernandez. She had sincerely wished the moment didn't end. She sat on her bed thinking of what could be going on with Fernandez, 'Does he ever think of me or was I just one out of his numerous conquests?'The smile on her face suddenly fades away as she thinks of the possibility that Fernandez might not care about her. "I guess I let myself go too cheaply, who would want to settle for a cheap, poor girl like myself? He looks
"Calm down Rosa, bring your voice down. In as much as he's an animal, I don't want people to hear what he did, for my aunt's sake" she saidRosa batted her eyelid several times in shock "Your aunt is a saint now?" she asked in a high-pitched tone. "I haven't said so, all I'm saying is that they are still family regardless. No matter how terrible your family is, you can't deny them" she asserted. "Hmm, you are right though, I wish they see and treat you the way you treat them. You are such an angel Amelia. It's only people like your aunt and her husband who will treat a beautiful soul like you the way they do. They are bitter and spiteful, users" Rosa spat. "Thanks, Rosa, you know whenever I get mistreated by my aunt or her husband, I don't feel too bad about it because I know you are always here for me," Amelia said and hugged her. "I will always be here for you my darling" she hugged Amelia too "So when can we go and see Mrs Tino this weekend?" Rosa asked "Yes, we will, I will
The next day, after work, Fernandez arrived at the location a few minutes earlier than the stipulated time.He scanned around to be sure of where he was, he sat by the window where he could see whoever was walking into the premisesHe waited for another minute after settling before ordering a drink. He sent a text to the number informing the person that he was already at the location. He didn't get any response until after fifteen minutes. The person texted "What are you putting on"Fernandez scanned around again before replying "A black Tshirt, black leather jacket, black jeans and a black Face cap" "Hmm, would it be safe to call you Mr black?" the sender asked"No, just call me Fernandez," he replied, still looking around. "Alright, Fernandez, I'm very close to you. I just want to make a quick stop and pick up something. I'll be with you shortly" the sender replied. Fernandez became a little uncomfortable after waiting for another hour without any sign of the stranger anywhere.
Amelia staggered and was going to fall face down, her heart began to race very fast. She was terrified that her babies would be hurt should she fall. She struggled to steady her step when someone quickly reached her and caught her from behind and she gasped. Amelia turned to see who had saved her and to her greatest bewilderment, it was Lyon. She batted her eyelid to be sure of who had saved her"Lyon?" she called"Hi Amelia, how are you? I'm sorry that happened" he said with a look of sincere care and she nodded. She felt her babies kick and she scrunched her face and rubbed her belly gently and stylishly"Are you okay, why is your face like that?" Lyon asked in surprise"Yep, I'm good, it's nothing. I'm only reacting to the strain on my wrist, that's all" she fibbed"Thank you, Lyon, thank you for reaching me and preventing the accident," Amelia said thankfully. "I don't know who pushed me, but I think it was done on purpose, the push was deliberate, I felt the person's hands o
Fernandez got to his parent's house and was happy to see his mum again"Hello my baby" Mrs Tiguan said as she sighted her son from where she was. "Hello mum, good to have you back," he said as he went into his mother's arm"How are you, look at you, you've changed in these past few days," she said as she disengaged from the hug"Come on mum, what do you mean?" Fernandez asked with a little frown"You don't look like you've been eating at all," she said and Fernandez grimaced"Urgh! I've been eating mum, it's just the stress of having to prepare for meetings every day, strategising on new projects and all of that" Fernandez said. "Mmm, I still think you haven't been feeding well and the reason is that no one is here to follow up on you I know how you can be with food, you barely ever eat anything and when you do, you just break it like a bird" Mrs Tiguan mocked and Fernandez frowned again. "Really mum? I always do my best to eat my food when I can, work most times gets in my way an
"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
"Hi Ferz, how are you? Good to hear from you again. Oh, I'm sorry for not picking up earlier, I was busy with Mum" Valerie said"I see, when did you get back?" 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. However, I want us to meet before then" she said "Okay, that's fine by me." Fernandez nodded in agreement. "Do you have a particular place in mind?""No I don't, I was thinking you could send me the address," Valerie said,
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. Why not pick from some of our friend's daughters, Mr Reynold has tw
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. The police got there and found him in the same car your father had reported to be missing" he narrated and Fernandez tapped his shoulder before going inside. "Good evening Dad, good evening Mum" he greeted as he walked into the sitting room. "Good ev
Chapter 43Ricky turned on his car ignition and looked through his rear mirror. His heart raced faster as he saw Fernandez pulling out of the car lotHe watched as he drove out and heaved a sigh, he shook his head and mumbled "Whatever has come over him in the last few days is something I can't deal with"He pulled out of the lot and sped off. Ricky suddenly caught up with Feranadez, however, he stopped some metres away from Fernandez as he watched him get out of his car and walk into a mini-mall. "What are you going to do there?" Ricky asked as he watched FernandezAfter a few minutes, he came out of the mall with a gift bag, got into his car and drove off. Ricky decided to tail him to find out where he was going to and who he was going to present the gift to. Fernandez kept stepping on the accelerator while Ricky maintained a distance between them in order not to be found out. Fernandez got to the front of a gate and honked. The security man came out and after a few conversation
The next morning Amelia woke up to see Rosa already dressed for work. "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? Don't push it okay" Rosa snapped and continued brushing her hair with so much intensity backing 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
