Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 18: Moving on
Avery's POVI stared at Tobias as if he had magically become an Alien, at that moment he looked really weird. I struggled to process what was happening, I looked around me to see various staff and other people staring at us, their faces flashing brightly in anticipation. “Avery...” Tobias called, I turned to face him again, as I saw the worry on his face.Tobias had always been here for me so there shouldn't be any need to think about his proposal, I thought to myself but I couldn’t move. I just stood there frozen to the ground, it felt like someone had poured cement over my feet, planting me on the ground.“Avery, will you marry me?” Tobias repeated as I noticed beads of sweat forming on his forehead, he was going into full panic mode. He didn’t deserve to be made a spectacle of, in the presence of this many people. So I did the only logical thing that crossed my mind.“Yes, I’ll marry you, Toby," I said as I brought out my hand so he could slide the ring over my finger. Which for s
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 19: It's good news, isn't it?
Avery's POVI felt like I was in a dream, I still couldn’t believe it was real, I looked down at my finger to the ring sitting on it. I studied the ring, it was an almond-shaped diamond, with little diamonds covering the band. The ring was beautiful and the diamond was really big. It must have been expensive but I hated chunky rings. I would have preferred a smaller stone, maybe a gemstone like ruby.The next morning, the news of my engagement had traveled so fast, faster than I had expected it would. That was the first notification I had gotten on my phone from a popular blog.I had already received several congratulatory messages, I had to tell my grandfather before any other person told him about it, I thought as I dialed his phone number.“Hello, dear,” came my grandfather’s hoarse voice.“Good morning Grandpa,” I greeted him.“Avery dear, how are you and my boys?” He asked.“We are fine Grandpa,” I said as I adjusted myself on the bed in order to deliver the good news. “Tobias a

“Yes! This is more like it,” I smiled to myself. I was putting on a hot pink well-tailored gown looking more like a bride, l packed my platinum blonde hair into a high ponytail smacked on some lip gloss, and stared at my reflection in the full-length mirror. But suddenly felt the urge to throw up, I ran to the bathroom and emptied whatever was in my tummy. I clutched my belly, and a beam of a smile lingered on my face. I couldn't wait to break the news of my pregnancy to Jeffery. A few days ago he left for a business trip and I felt a little bit sick. I went to the hospital but was stunned when the doctor disclosed to me that I was pregnant. Jeffrey and I weren't planning on having a baby before our marriage, but it just happened, I couldn't wait to break the news to him. We have always dreamed of building our family together. The thought of walking down the aisle with Jeffrey keeps hovering in my mind.I took a glance at the clock and it was already 9 o'clock.“oh! My, I'm going to

“ouch, you should watch where you throw trash.” I heard a thick masculine voice exuding an aura of dominating power close to me. I raised my head to uphold the sight of his face. He had a tanned, handsome, and spirited face that denoted a man who was tough and resolute in his ways.“So sorry,” I shrugged and stood up to reach for my phone but he instantly picked it up.“Please can I have my phone? I already said sorry,” I uttered nonchalantly.He glances at me from head to toe. “You look pathetic with the act you just pulled in there, my name is Tobias Maxwell. You probably won't tell me yours, but can I drop you off?” Ok! This stung right in the heart.“Let me have my phone, I don't need your help,” I was getting irritated by the intimidating glare.“The only way you can have your phone again is if you allow me to drop you off.” He was getting on my nerves. Taking a deep breath to calm myself, I curled my fist into balls suppressing the urge to vent my frustration on him.“Fine
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 3: Stepping on my toes
Four years later.“Mummy, mummy,” the voice of my two boys came through immediately I swung the door to their room open.“Good morning my cuties, already awake and ready for school?” I ruffled their hair while staring into their cute gray eyes just like Jeffery. They had this notable resemblance of Jeffery, thick lashes, plump lips, and curled hair. They were like the replica of Jeffery. Staring at them I felt completely ecstatic, not wanting to dwell in the past but hold onto my double elation.“Yes mummy,” they both chorus simultaneously jolting me out of my thoughts.“I will have Adam drop you guys off today, mummy has an important meeting please,” I pleaded as I glared at Daniel who instantly pouted his face.“But mummy, I…” Daniel tried to grumble, making those puppy faces but I had to cajole him to give in. I can not afford to miss this meeting, or else Uncle Mark will keep jeopardizing my position.I squatted to his height.“Baby, mummy will make it up to you, I promise.”I tur
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 4: The unexpected guest
It was my grandfather's birthday, Tobias's limousine pulled in front of my grandpa's magnificent mansion, and the doors were held open for us to alight by his private chauffeur. I came down first and moved aside for my two babies. They both came down too. Last was Tobias whose face was shimmering with a smile. Our hands linked, as we walked together into the ongoing party. Everyone stopped, and heads began to turn at our arrival. Most attention was on me and Tobias as he held my hands. Daniel and David on the sight of Grandpa in his wheelchair, sprinted to him and wrapped their little hands around him. He held them tightly, placing a kiss on their heads.“Happy birthday Grandpa,” they both chorus excitedly.“Thank you, my buddies,” he replied with a wide grin of amusement on his face.“Happy birthday Grandpa,” I hunkered down to his level and placed a kiss on his forehead. Since the day he set his eyes on me, he has rejuvenated back to his normal self apart from the fact that he was s
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 5: panic
“I won't be able to head Jason’s company anymore and for that, I will officially appoint my granddaughter Avery as the new CEO.” his words resonate in my ear. I was thrilled that he believed in me to pass down this huge responsibility to me. The cheering from the guests boomed. I squatted down and placed a kiss on his forehead, whispering to his ear that I wouldn't disappoint him. Smiling at the guest, I made a strong promise to drive the company to a greater height, not wanting to let him down now. When I glanced at my uncle's direction, the look on his face was murderous before he zoomed out but I didn't fidget a bit. I noticed that Jeffery who stood beside him was no longer there.Coward, he couldn't even stand my gut. He might have thought I was still that lonely orphan with no identity. I smiled to myself waving at Tobias whose face was glinting in glee. The party was finally over and the whole mansion was silent as everyone reclined to their various rooms. You would never gues
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 6: bonding with the little boy
Jeffery POVI got no response from him, he just grinned at me in the cutest manner. I stared at him perplexed, Whose child was this? I thought inwardly.He held his rumbling stomach pouting his lips as I stared at a face that was small and cute like a cherub from a medieval painting “I’m hungry" he looked at me with those gray eyes identical to mine as he whimpered as if in pain. His voice softened my heart and I moved closer to him, rubbing his back, as I couldn’t stand the pain he was going through.I looked down at my watch wondering if any restaurant would be open, it was a few minutes past ten pm, and none would be open at that time. “Don't worry I'll get you something to eat, we will be going to my house and I’ll tell the chef to make you a meal when we get there" I said to the little boy, he nodded his head in agreement, and wrapped his hand around my waist. I hesitate a bit before taking him into a warm embrace. I felt a spark in my heart as though I was holding a missin

Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 17: The proposal
Avery's POVI didn’t know what to make of the discovery, I had just made about Uncle Mark. I was still shaken to my bones.I didn’t understand how someone would want to sabotage something that belonged to them, simply because they didn't like the person appointed CEO, even when that person was the only surviving family member of their only brother. I felt really disappointed in him and had to find the best way to handle the situation. I couldn’t tell my grandfather that his only surviving son had tried sabotaging his company. Over what? I asked myself, a hatred he had for me. It would break my grandfather's heart and I couldn't risk exposing him to such news, afraid of the impact it might cause to his already frail health.I couldn’t also fire him or do anything to him on my own, without feeling like the most evil person on the planet. I tried to think rationally, because I felt before my discovery Grandpa might have had no other choice but to hand the company over to Uncle Mark, e
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 16: A discovered enemy
Avery's POVIt was a bright Monday morning, as I got to the company, I stood for a few minutes admiring the magnificent Jason's company before going up to my office. The Jason company stood in all its glory, a seven-story building with about twenty-nine offices. The company was my grandfather’s pride, his father before him had started the company before handing it over to him. It would have been handed over to my father if he hadn't died early. Now the burden of continuing the legacy of this great company was resting on my shoulders, I couldn’t let my grandfather down.I got to my office where a folder was waiting for my signature. I had recently passed a proposal for an expansion of our New York office. Unfortunately, some of the workers we had hired over the last month had either resigned or stopped coming to the office. I couldn’t help but wonder what the issue was, a lot of money had been put into this expansion project and I couldn’t let it fail.The office phone rings. I p
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 15: Another Encounter
Avery’s POV Danielle and her friends walked to a table on the other side of the cafe, opposite where I was sitting with Lora. I turned my attention back to Lora, as I tried to completely ignore Danielle even though I knew she was staring at me contemptuously.“So what had been going on with you,” I asked Lora, as I tried to ignore the fact that Danielle was still staring daggers at me.“I met a guy in school and we are so in love,” Lora said, as a blush crept up her face.“Really? I’m so happy for you Lora, you deserve the best” I said smiling at her.“Tell me more, where is he from and what does he do?” I asked excitedly.“He just finished med school and he’s doing his residency at the state hospital. He's a really great guy, and I want to spend the rest of my life with him,” she said dreamily, a very satisfied smile on her face.I smiled as well, I knew what it felt like to be completely loved by someone, I have experienced it or so I thought. I and everyone around us had thought J
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 14: An old friend
Avery's POVIt had really been an eventful week I thought to myself, I was grateful the rest of the week had passed uneventfully. I was sure I had my fair share of dramas. The universe must be playing a dirty joke on me, I thought to myself. I couldn’t stop thinking about my clash with Danielle. She claimed I ruined her life when in truth, she ruined mine. I couldn't bring myself to blame her completely, cause I knew the majority of the blame belonged to Jeffrey. Her anger should be directed at him, not me. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with him.I had to go shopping, I had to stop at the store to get some toys for the twins. I brought out a pair of jeans and a polo shirt to put on. I loved days like this when I had to put on simple and comfortable clothing just like before. I was just about to head out of the house when Daniel ran toward me crying at the top of his lungs.“Oh honey, what’s the matter," I asked, stooping low to his level to look at his face, all red and blotchy
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 13: A woman scorned
Avery's POV I fumed as I walked back to my seat next to Tobias, he noticed the change in my demeanor and reached out to hold my hands.“Is everything okay?” He asked, a concerned look on his face.I thought about telling him that Jeffrey was in the restaurant with us, but decided against it. I didn’t want any drama and I knew telling Tobias about him would cause a lot of it.“Can we just go home, I’m really exhausted,” I finally replied, I was indeed tired, it had really been an eventful day. I couldn’t believe I had run into Jeffrey twice on the same day when I had barely seen him in the last four years.“Okay, I’ll grab the bill," Tobias replied, not arguing “But, do you want me to pack up anything for you? You barely touched your food,” He said as he got up to go sort the bill.“Yes, please,” I replied.He came over to where I was seated and kissed my cheek before walking away. I sighed before getting up to leave the restaurant.I was almost in the parking lot when I heard someone
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 12: Old Flames
Jeffery’s POVI clutched my fist to suppress the jealousy burning down my spine.I stared at the sight before me as a waiter led them to their table which was directly opposite ours.I continued to stare as the man pushed a chair out for Avery to sit, she gave him a sweet smile before she sat down.Who was this guy and what was Avery doing with him, I thought to myself. I had to keep reminding myself that Avery wasn’t mine any longer.Danielle clears her throat and I turn my head in her direction, I had completely forgotten that we were together.“Is everything alright?” She asked “Yes,” I replied quickly, “how is the new fashion line coming along?" I asked, trying to get my mind off Avery and the man.“Oh, everything is falling into place, if all things work out we should be launching in the next two weeks," she said as her eyes shone with excitement.Danielle owned a fashion brand that was really thriving, she had released many successful fashion lines and was about to launch the n
Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend Chapter 11: Dinner
Avery's POV My head was banging as I closed my laptop and packed it into my bag, it had been one hell of a day. I had been a nervous wreck throughout the entire day. Jeffery’s visit to my office had really destabilized me. I had lost focus more than once during a presentation and lost my temper with one of my staff. I would have to apologize to the poor girl, she had been so close to tears, I really had to leave before something worse happened. I called Anna on my way out. “I'll be leaving earlier than usual, I have a headache," I said to her as I entered the elevator. “Okay ma,” she replied, “bye."I got home to see Tobias with the kids and my heart was instantly full of euphoria. I smiled to myself and felt the tension leave my body a little. David was the first to see me and I wished I had a camera with me, I would have captured the moment his face lit up. It was really beautiful. “Mummy is back," he shouted as he left their little group and ran toward me. Daniel swung his hea
