Mr Fernandez was in his mini office in Cuba going through some important documents that were brought to him by his assistant. He has been away for a Month now taking care of his mother who was rushed to the hospital the night he didn't return home from his escapade.

His father has arranged for a caregiver to relieve him of his duty to his mother to enable him to resume his duty at the company. Mr Tiguan has mandated his son Fernandez to care for his mother since she suffered an attack as a result of his stubbornness and irresponsibility.

Fernandez didn't consider taking care of his mother a big deal, instead, he finds it satisfying and also a way to make up for his foolishness and stupidity. His father had come into their Cuba home where his mother was flown to after she was not responding to treatment in America. Fernandez had travelled with her and had been there for over a month.

She had described it to him but seemed to have forgotten about it.Fernandez took note of it and added it to his shopping list and as soon as he got to the mall he immediately went to get it for his mother, his favourite person in the whole wide world.His mother has always condoned his excesses, unlike his father who doesn't take time in smacking the shit out of him any time he misbehaves.

    "Mum, Mum, What's going on Dad?" Fernandez asked as he immediately dropped the bags on the floor and ran towards his parent."I don't know, we were just arguing about something a while ago and then this," he said truthfully. "Arguing dad? You were arguing with Mum? How could you put her through such anxiety? She is not fully recovered Dad" he yelled and immediately carried his mother to the bedroom to lay her on the bed."Breath mum, breath," he said to his mother who continued to gasp for air. "Let me call the doctor," he said and quickly dialled the doctor who picked up immediately. "Hello doctor, please I need you to come over ASAP. My mum just suffered an attack" he said and hung up. Mr Tiguan was very nervous and couldn't stop pacing. He kept moving from one end to the other waiting anxiously for the doctor to arrive. There was a look of regret written all over his face."What exactly were you arguing about that triggered this Dad?" Fernandez asked his father "It's nothing seri

    "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?

He hugged her for a while and then lifted her face to look at her "No Alicia don't do that o

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?"

    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

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?"

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.

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.

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

"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.

    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.

    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
