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
Amelia feels a little awkward about it but when Fernandez grabs her waist and leans closer to her as he whispers, "Don't worry, I'll be gentle" , she had no idea when she nodded her head and screamed a loud 'yes!'With a second chance to think about it, Fernandez grabs her by the arm and pulls her away from the crowd. He takes her through the back door outside, to where his car is parked. "I don't usually do this" Amelia said to him as she got into the car, "In fact, it's my first time, '' she added as she pulled her seat belt and clicked it in. Fernandez smiled at her as he allowed her to finish her speech. He had heard many girls tell him the same line but he always acted like he was just hearing it. It was a normal life for him. No one liked to feel cheap. They drove to a five star hotel where Fernadez got out of his car and threw his keys to the porter.He didn't even allow Amelia to come down when he ran over to her side of the car and swept her off her feet."Don't worry baby,
The sun was slowly rising when Fernandez got a call. His phone rang the first time which he ignored but it kept on ringing and ringing until he finally had to take the call. He lifted his phone up as he tried to see who it was. His phone clearly read 'Father'. He took one deep breath and tried to sit up as he knew he was going to get scolded. When he was up and ready, he picked up the call."Fernandez, where are you?" His father echoed loudly. "Your mother and I have been worried sick. We've been waiting for you since yesterday. Your mother saw you leave angrily and later we heard on the news that someone had died. They had the same car as you. Meet me at the Getrude Hospital. Your mother is being treated there" his father said and then hung up the phone. All the color in Fernadez's face instantly drained. His mother had been hospitalized? He couldn't believe it. Immediately, he got up, picked his clothes off the ground as he wore them and got into the bathroom to wash his face.He ca
Chapter 5Amelia was still dazed and confused at the news of her pregnancy not knowing what exactly to do next with her life. She got home and avoided her aunt and her husband in order not to be found out."Amelia" her aunt called the next morning when she realised Amelia was still sleeping when she was supposed to be ready for school."Amelia… Ameliaaaa!! She called again after several times of not getting any reaction from her. She went straight to Amelia's bedroom only to find her still sleeping. She immediately slapped her and Amelia jumped."Holy shit" Amelia spat as the slap landed on her cheek."What in heaven's name are you still doing lying stupidly like a log of dead timber on that bed when you are supposed to be on your way to school you little scallywag" she yelled."Good morning Aunty, I didn't realise what time it was already" Amelia managed to speak as she caressed her face which was badly burning from the slap"."Hmmm… I see you are beginning to toil with your studies.
