“How do you expect me to believe all what you’ve just said?” She pushed him away roughly “I really wish I could do more to make you believe me” he tried getting close to her again “I really love you Fidelia and I would do anything to prove this to you”“You really want me to foolishly believe you?”she asked as tears ran down her cheeks“Why on earth didn’t you tell me all this when we started getting close to each other” she paused and took a deep breath to keep her going “ you had to wait till it is obvious that I’m in love you right?”“From the first time I set my eyes on you Fidelia, I knew I wanted more than just friendship”“And I knew at some point I would have to tell you what exactly is going on in my life, I wouldn’t like I’ve tried but I never know when exactly would be the right time for me to do that, any day I see you I would always have the urge to come out clean but the fear of how you will react has always been a issue in my head and I.....”Tears wouldn’t stop fallin
He woke up late today again. It's 8:0'clockHe got out of bed as quick as he could and stretched out "arghhh" he felt pains as he moved his neck."What sort of pain is this?" he said to himself as he moved his neck gently.He slid his feet into the white soft fluffy slippers his daughter bought for him on his forty fifth birthday, and moved to the kitchen to take a cup of water, his daily early morning routine. The doctor told him it's good for his health."Grace" he called out after drinking water."Grace" he called out again. Louder this time"Sir, I'm coming sir" he heard the response from outside. She ran in seconds later."Good morning sir" she knelt down sharply as if she weighed nothing."I've told you to stop kneeling everytime" he told her as he made his way to his bedroom."You're my boss and...""Doesn't mean you should always kneel everytime you greet me" he interrupted her. He said as he walked into his room leaving her behind."Just make coffee for breakfast" he scream
"I've told you several times, I wouldn't let Tiana stay a minute with you" even though he was speaking through the phone to his mother he raised his voice to make it very sure his mother heard him clearly."But my son...."his mother tried to reply calmly" Son?" He laughed dryly"Very funny mother" he said sarcastically.She turned silent. There was no way she hasn't try to get her son back after the incident 20 years ago. "How else do you want me to tell you I'm sorry" she said to break the silence." I've tried all means possible but you never listen to me nor do you try to have a conversation with me, I know I was wrong but I'm still your mother." It was just so clear that she was crying as she said those words to him" I really still doubt you're my mother even after all these years" he paused " The only living hope I have is Tiana, now you want me to bring her to you so you'll ruin her like you did to me" he laughed dryly "You should know that would never ever happen mother"
"She hasn't called yet??"No, she hasn't" he sighed"You really don't need to get worked up yet, there's every possibility she didn't call her first before calling you" she really wished what she was saying was trueIt's always once in a month or twice in a month he and his daughter always have this issue and his mother would always be the one to trigger it.Jess sometimes thinks the mother usually do it on purpose. "I've told my mom to stop being stubborn about it, I wouldn't let Tiana have anything reasonable to do with her" he paused"Even till she dies""That's too much for you to say I think" she paused and looked at his face. She wanted to see his reaction to the statement she made.She noticed he didn't look irritated nor angry so she decided to continue."I really don't know what your mom might have done but I still think you should give her a second chance to redeem things" she waited for a response and it was like it wasn't coming"If she at least can't redeem things with y
Marcus couldn't stay till closing hour before he left the office. He felt so uncomfortable sitting there.He wasn't in the mood to do anything and he was sure he wasn't going to touch anything, so he just picked up his briefcase and left the office.He got home at exactly 3::00pm, Grace and even the gateman was surprised to see him.He stepped out of his car grumpily and matched him in the same mood. His mind was in turmoil."I wished I would just get knocked out" he was taking himself as he used unnecessary force to open the door.Grace heard him talking but what he said was incoherent to her."Are you talking to me sir?" Marcus looked at her "would you please get the hell out of my way miss""I thought....""I wouldn't repeat myself Grace" he knew better than to push her out of the wayGrace moved hurriedly from his way, confusion written all over her face.Marcus matched into his bedroom without looking back to check out the lady he threw into a confused state.Immediately he go
If a pin dropped right now it would be heard clearly to confirm how quiet it is.Tension was building up between them and none was ready to say a word to ease the tension."We're almost there" Marcus spoke out at last and that didn't help because Tiana didn't give a response.The rest of the ride continued silently."Pimmmmmmmmm" the blast of Marcus horn alerted John that a car was at the gate.He dropped the bread he was eating angrily and ran to the gate to see who was disrupting his meal. He stared at the car but couldn't recognise it ."Who are you looki....." He paused as he saw the person sitting behind the wheel"Good evening sir" he greeted and ran back inside to open the gate for Marcus to drive in."I'm so sorry sir" he apologized."There's no problem" Marcus assured him before he could say another word.Marcus found a spot to park his car beside his father's Buggati Divo. He smiled "I wonder why dad still spends money on things like this" Tiana was already down from the c
Christiana bid her grandmother good bye and headed straight to the sitting room where she left her father and grandfather."Where could they be?" Whatever anger she felt towards her father earlier on has now subsided and she felt she needed to apologize.She used the stairs, she was going to her grandfather's library. Getting very close to the library door she started hearing their voice even though what they were saying was incoherent to her.She got to the library and wanted to open the door "Father I'm going to tell her. I just need more time" that was her father's voice"I know you would, but do that very soon""I'm surprised the poor girl doesn't even know her mother is dead" she felt she was pierced in the heart by that word."I wonder the excuse you've been giving to her over these years""Don't make her think her mother is a bad person or maybe her mother divorced you or something like that since you never talk about her" that came as an advice"Everything is still fresh in m
Marcus jolted from his slumber as he heard a car drive in, he knew it wasn't Tiana driving but he sincerely hopedvsge would be in the car of whoever drove in.He waited impatiently for who so ever it is to come in.Few minutes later Jess stepped in with Christiana behind her.He was very much surprised to see both of them together at this time of the day but that wasn't the bone of contention to him right now."Tiana, I've been trying to reach you since you left Grandpa's house" he said moving towards her."Don't come close" she took a step back."Tiana, I'm very sorry for what happened earlier" he was really sorry this time around, anything could have happened to her while she was away."Don't come close to me and I really mean it" "Tiana this wasn't what we talked about" Jess spoke up, she could literally see the pain he was going through."I know your father has been inconsiderate all these while, but still you should hear him out first""I know this wasn't what we talked about bu

"I've been trying to call her, she hasn't been picking up" Marcus complained to August again.August has lost count already. He sighed " you've told me several times already""I know" he pouted."I've known you for years and and I've never seen you like this for any girl, you better pray she worths it" "You've known me for years and you know I'm better at judging people and I've never been wrong about it" he said proudly"Do you really have to be proud about it?" Marcus laughed, "August" they heard someone calling from outside."Are you expecting anyone?""No" August said as he walked to the door."Guyyyyy" August shouted happily."This Nigeria spirit can't leave you" Emmanuel laughed as he hugged August."It's not my fault, I'm really happy to see you" he confessed grinning from ear to ear."I'm happy too" He replied and started walking in."Marcus" Emmanuel shouted happily again."What's up guy?" He stretched out his hand to him."You're not happy to see me?" A little disappointme
Comfort eyes was fixed on her laptop when Fidelia entered "where did you go to?" She added "you told me you felt sick before leaving school and your sick sef wasn't home when I got in" she joked.Everywhere was quiet except the noise her laptop made."You don't want me to ask for the full gist of where you went to that's why you're quiet right?" She questioned jokingly but was still focused on her laptop.She still didn't get any reply.Why are you not answering? "she folded up her laptop and turned towards Fidelia only to see her crying."What's wrong?" She hurried to her side."Why are you crying?" She asked again "I'm fine" Fidelia replied admist tears."You're fine and you're crying like this" she added "common tell me what's wrong" concern was evident in her voice "You should know I wouldn't accept just fine from you" she added when Fidelia refused to speak up.Fidelia's mind was in turmoil, alot was going on in there and she felt there was no way to explain how exactly she feel
He stood still and watched her leave. At that moment he knew whatever explanation he was trying to make would fall on deaf ears."I'm definately not losing you" he said as he watched her leave."Why are you standing here?" August asked him immediately he alighted from his car."When did you drive in?" He was so deep in thought he didn't even know what was going on around him."I know you have alot on your mind now, but why are you outside?" Marcus walked in."Marcus, I'm talking to you" he followed him in."August, you can see I'm not interested in whatever it is you want to say""You don't have to be interested before you listen" "Why are you being so stubborn Marcus?"Marcus was going to his room before he heard that statement"why am I being stubborn?" It came more as a question."See you have the best parents in the world, like they've created a rosy path for you already, you just have to follow through and have the best out of this life" he just couldn't fathom why Marcus just
"You see what your useless son has done?" Josephine hits Esther, Marcus mother the question immediately picked up the call."Josephine, please calm down. What happened?""Your son had the mind to disgrace me in public today?" It was so obvious she was angry."He disgraced you?""You're still questioning me?" Esther ignored her very rude behaviour "I haven't heard from him today""So?" Josephine screamed at her."So I wouldn't know about whatever happened between both of you" she replied calmly "I don't care if you've spoken to him or not, just make sure you call that your damn son and tell him to behave him self properly with me" "I'll sure..." Josephine interrupted"And I'm not telling my mom about it for now, but if he tries any rubbish with me again I'm telling my mom and you know she can end everything with just a snap of her finger" she hissed."Tell him to respect himself" she hissed again and ended the call.Immediately the call dropped, she placed a call across to Marcus."
"I tried reaching you yesterday, but you were not reachable. I was a little bit worried" Marcus told Fidelia while they were having their daily conversation.It's been two months sonce they met and Marcus made it compulsory he called her everyday. It was like his daily dose to have a very good day."I told you my finals exams are coming up very soon, I have to make sure I read and graduate woth really good grades." She explained."Or you have plans of offering me a job in your company if I end up failing" she teased him.During their every day conversation, Marcus got to know that Fidelia came to school in the states on scholarship. Her parents aren't that well off to sponsor her education abroad.Fidelia also got to know that Marcus works in his father's company with the plans if starting up his own very soon. She admires that trait of him trying to make it on his own even though he already has it all on a platter of Gold."It's my dad's company" more like a reminder "but you know I
"Fidelia, didn't I tell you this guy has interest in you" Comfort said after going through the chat Fidelia showed her."Like it has been obvious since the beginning of these session, didn't I tell you" the fact that she was right made it funny to her."It's not funny for real" Fidelia hit Comfort on her shoulder jokingly.Trying to subdue her laughter "I really don't know why I find this very funny""But jokes apart he's a very cute guy" she is a little bit serious now."And what does that have to do with this?""Lie that you haven't been once attracted to him because of his looks" "Comfort" she paused "We've been friends for years Fidelia, I know you better than you think" she started"Or you think I have not seen you looking at looking at hin several times in class""Or wait" she laughed and continued " there are days you would sleep off while looking at his pictures" "You really think I wouldn't notice that" She knew there was no lie she could tell her roommate now, but the cr
"I'm all dressed let's go to the mall" he walked into the sitting room meanwhile August was already walking on his laptop"I thought you wanted to sleep a bit" he looked away from his laptop."I wanted to, but i can't sleep while I'm hungry"he rubbed his stomach with his palms being all dramatic."There's something you can eat in the kitchen, just check well" he continued working on his laptop."You should know I've been there before i came to meet you""All those junks you have in stock, you really expect me to eat that" he hit August behind his head"Ouchhhh" "Why did you hit me" he turned holding his head."That's for you offering me rubbish to eat" he continued buttoning his plain white shirt."Guyyyyy" August screamed still rubbing the back of his head"I'm a bachelor for fuck sake, what were you expecting?" He was already furious but he knew better than to hit Marcus back"I've told you to stop using the "F" word around me" Marcus started walking towards August again with the a
"Let me show you around town brother" August hit him jokingly."You, show me around?" Marcus laughed "I know you've been here several times, but it's been awhile, you should agree I know the town better than you do" August told Marcus with some pride"And you think that's something you should be proud about" Marcus mocked his friend."Get the f**K" he stood up and went to the little bar stand beside the dinning room."What would you like?" He asked as he took out some glass cups"Guy, you don't know what I take any more?" they've been friends for as long as he can remember so he expected him to know better."You might have changed your taste" "Not anytime soon guy""I know right"he was saying as he served red wine into two different cups.He walked back to where Marcus sat stretched out the glass of red wine to him."Thank you" he took the glass and looked bat the content inside like he was looking at the love of his life."So what's your plan now that you're back here?" He sat acro
