Darlington's POV I was restless, not having seen Amara. I had to send Jenna away at last so I could focus on looking for Amara. Jenna was angry that I chose to break up with her, but I had to threaten her with her nude tapes that were with me. I had to phone my dad and ask him to help me speak with Amara, as I couldn't find her. My dad was enraged with me, nevertheless, he said he was with Amara’s father and she hadn’t called them to disclose her whereabouts. All throughout the night, I couldn't sleep, and I blamed myself for welcoming Jenna into my life and home again. I'm not married, and Jenna should move on, was what I had advised her to. Waking up early to a bright Sunday morning, after my night of restlessness. I phoned Amara again, seeing that I had woken up late, at around after 10 am. Amara rejected my call, and I sighed. I didn't know who to ask for her whereabouts here. The previous night, I reached out to Amara and she informed me that she was at her friend’s hous
Darlington Briggs:Bruce warned me, "Darlington, I had no idea that you were fucking Amara. I suspected it, but hadn't thought of it to be true. All these days, I had been trying to phoned Amara, and her phone was unreachable while you took her to the house that you were supposed to be living with my sister and you were sleeping with Amara too."I laughed, wishing Bruce could see my face."Bruce, do you want to pretend with me like you were unaware that Jenna was cheating on me?" I asked. "Jenna travelled for a model shoot, and she ended up engaging in several encounters with Alex, her gay lover. I don't have time to discuss your sister right now, Bruce. I feel very sorry for breaking up with her, but Amara is not my neighbour, as Samara made you all to believe. Amara is my wife from the village. My father brought her here for me and I hadn't accepted her at the initial, but now I'm in love with her and cannot continue with my affairs with Jenna any longer. My regards to your sister a
Darlington's POV My mother became speechless after she heard Samara's remarks. She said, "Hmm, I don't like that Amara, and it's good that she has finally gone back home to her parents in the village.""It's okay, Darlington. You shouldn't have sent Jenna away. We all make mistakes and not one of us is above making a mistake. You should forgive Jenna and accept to marry her instead," my mother said, and I looked at her in disbelief."Mom, I am only listening to you right now because of one reason. Because your my mother. Do not tell me about Jenna again! Amara left with my baby and you think that I'm joking with you!" I shouted back at my mother as I rose from the couch where I sat. My mother looked stunned, "Darlington...""Don't try to preach to me about Jenna again. I agree that you do not like Amara. The same way Dad does not like Jenna. But this is my life that we are speaking about here," I said. "For the last five years, I had been dating Jenna. She refused to conceive for me
Amara's POV I had not expected the warm welcome from my parents. I thought they would be displeased by my actions of leaving the city and also Darlington's home to return to the countryside. Instead, my father was happy, the same as my mother. They were smiling at me as we walked into the living room. My father gave me a big, welcoming hug."Welcome home, my lovely daughter. You're welcome back," My father hugged me as he said, "I hadn't expected you to stay up in the city up till now. It shows how much obedience you have for us, and wanting to be there in the city with Darlington. But it's alright now. You're our child, and we will always welcome you with open arms for as long as we live.""Thank you, Dad," I said, after pulling away from the hug. Upon my aunt and uncle hearing of my return to my parents' abode in the village, they rushed into the extravagant living room to welcome me."Amara, Oh! Thank goodness you're back. Bella told me all that evil woman in the city was doing to
Amara's POV I hadn't expected to see Darlington in my parents' home. Seeing him here, I was supposed to be happy that he came for me, but I was enraged, knowing that he didn't love me like he claimed and wanted to be with Jenna. So maybe he came here to ask me to return to the city with him, which I'm not going to do. I listened to my mother welcoming him. "Welcome, my in-law," My mother said to Darlington, and I wonder how she knew he was Darlington Briggs when she told me that she didn't know who Darlington was and hadn't seen him since they left for the city. Oh! I assumed maybe it's because Darlington resembles his father, so she knows he's Darlington. "Thank you, Ma," Darlington replied, as his gaze shifted to look at me warmly where I sat at the dining chair. I looked away from him, not telling him welcome. "I'm here because of my wife," Darlington said, his voice alluring, and I rolled my eyes in disapproval, shaking my head as I assumed I wasn't the wife he was speaking
Amara's POV"I have done that already," Darlington said. And I turned to look at him. "When? The last time I checked today, you still have Jenna in your profile. Do you think that you can use my parents into fooling me to return to the city again? No way!""Amara, what has come over you? You should keep calm and speak to your husband with respect," My father said, scolding me instead of Darlington, and I got annoyed."Dad! You aren't supposed to be scolding me. Here's the person that you should shout at. Well, since you all like him, I'm going back to my room."As I attempted to stand up and leave the dining table, Darlington rose and hastily stopped me. "Wait," he said. "Here's my phone, you can check it and see that I have taken down all my old photos with Jenna. I forgot to do so when I was rushing to come here."Pausing in my tracks, I turned to look at Darlington. Silently, I collected his phone and went to his social media page. My parents sat staring at us as Darlington and I w
[Darlington Briggs:]I was so happy when Amara finally forgave me. I stood up and told her, "Let's return to the dining room to join your parents for dinner. You know, since I arrived here in the countryside, I went home to see my grandpa and my dad, but my dad doesn't seem happy to see me.""Really?" Amara asked me, her big blue eyes twinkling as she blushed."Yes, so I'm very hungry as we speak, and I need to eat something," I said, standing up from her bed.Amara refused to get up as I observed that she had eaten to her stomach's satisfaction before she made a fuss and fled the dining room just as her parents and I joined her at the dining table."I cannot return to the dining room for now. Not to worry, as long as you have ended whatever relationship you had with Jenna Colton. I'm happy now, and I have forgiven you," Amara said, as she sat up on the bed again and looked at me."Or should I be going back home? It's getting late, or do you want me to sleep here with you?" I asked, t
[Darlington's POV]As my father's mansion wasn't far from Chief Matthew Nicholas's mansion in the countryside, I arrived home and entered our house."Darlington, you're back?" My father's sister, Aunt Tina, asked me."Yes, Aunt. Where is my father?" I inquired of her. Though my father owned the big house, he allowed his family to live there, since we were based in the city."He's with our Dad in his room.""Okay, Aunt. Thank you. How about your family? My cousins and their Dad?" I inquired, knowing I didn't wait to see them before, when I had arrived, as I quickly rushed to keep my bag and to ask my Dad for Chief Matthew's home.It had been a long time since I last came to this area. So I hadn't expected to see the magnificent homes that now graced the beautiful streets, compared to the old houses that were previously there."They're all fine. They just finished having dinner now and had all retired back to their rooms." Aunt Tina told me, and I smiled at her."Okay, Aunt." I walked a
