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
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
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
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
"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,
"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
Chapter 1Amelia Earhart just got into her friend's car when she heard her cellphone ring. Everyone in the SUV turned to stare at her direction. She gave them a pretentious smile, excusing herself out of the car as she got down to take the call.It was from her aunt. She picked it up immediately."Amelia freaking Earhart, where are you and why are there dishes on the table and in my sink?" Her aunt's loud voice filled her ears instantly.Amelia slapped her forehead in frustration. She had forgotten to wash the dishes when she got back home from school. Now, she was halfway across town to a party with her friends."Aunt Grace, I'm so sorry. I literally forgot. I'll be there to wash it soon" she replied in a low tone. No one was supposed to hear her being scolded for not doing the dishes."Listen here you brat, you better get your little bottom back to this house and wash this dishes or I swear to God, I will––Amelia hung up the call and quickly switched her phone off. She was going t
Fernandez Tiguan had just gotten scolded by his father when he barged out of the house. To him, nagging and shouting was totally unnecessary. He was a grown man and could take care of his business, life and scrotum. He didn't need counseling nor did he ask for it. He ran to the car park and opened his car when he saw his father come up behind him."Listen to me, Fernandez. You have to do as your mother and I have discussed. Stop being on all the cover of these blogs. Stop giving them headlines. Can't you just get a girl to settle down with and stop all these nonsense!" His father said with a loud tone.Fernandez wasn't having it anymore. He got into his Ferrari and immediately started the engine."I'll talk to you when I see you father. For now, goodnight" he said as he slammed the door in his father's face. He turned on his headlight, took one deep breath as he drew his seat belt to himself, clicked it in and drove out. From his side mirror, he could see his father still talking. He
