Immediately I stood up from the bed but his fir hand gripped me, "Oh goodness me, I am not your wife. You should even hear this from my voice by the way," I leg out and freed my hands instantly."What are you doing here?" he asked and I snapped back at him, "I should be the one asking what you're doing here. Besides you came in to see me here, don't you sleep in your room?" "Go. I have nothing to say to you," he freed my hands and I went out of the room, as I got back into mine, I shut it and locked it. My heart was still pounding from what just happened and Aiden was a very crazy person.I went back to sleep.The following morning, there came a knock on the door and I stood up from the bed and went to open it. As I opened it, I saw Elias standing out there."What do you want? Why are you before my room this early?" I asked and yawned after saying that. "I just came to say good morning, I'm sorry to disturb you from your sleep," Elias said."Next time don't come anymore.." I replied
Sitting in the midst of people in the restaurant where I sat, I felt invisible as I saw the people sitted at different tables with their dates, some with their children, some with siblings while I sat alone at the table observing the crowd."I miss my dad," I said, even though he wasn't always at home as an army man whenever he came, he didn't hesitate to spoil me and make me feel like a child. He'd always take me out on walks to the far parks, for sightseeing and dates which I always loved, and sometimes a mom would feel jealous.Sitting down there just flashed back some memories to me. Scooping the food into my mouth, it turned bitter and sour. Thinking about my father brought nothing but sadness to me every time I did and seeing Aiden around gave me nothing more than grief.I took a sip of the smoothie and left the food, standing up to go back home. As I arrived at home, I went straight to the Balcony where Aiden loved to stay. "Why are you standing here?" I heard a voice say and I
"What do you mean by Aiden's son? Aiden?" Shock spread on the face of my mother, I exchanged glances at Elias whose face was still straight. I replied, "This is his son. You can ask him, he is standing right behind you." Instead of asking Aiden, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Why do I feel like this is a plan by you? You paid him to come and act here right?" She didn't believe me. "Why in the world will you even say that? can't you see the resemblance and why don't you ask him?" I thundered and she turned to Aiden, "Tell me this is a lie, "No it's not a lie. This is my son."My mom touched her head and moved closer to Aiden, "Why did you not tell me? You lied! What else are you going to be lying about? Tell me!" My mom screamed at him. The happiness I felt at that moment knew no bounds."Is there a problem with that? You had a daughter and I take her as my child too, what's wrong with discovering that I have a son?" Aiden asked, his voice raised and icy. For the first time, I hea
Without a word to any of them in the room, I left the house and clicked open my car, then I got in and zoomed off. I went back to my house, and at that moment, I decided I wasn't going to go close to that place called home until it was a week after.Instead of that, I heard a knock on my door and I got up to go and get the door, I was surprised that I didn't hear any sound coming from the gate, at that moment, my heart started beating because I always read about serial killers and how they operated.As I opened the door, I saw my mom standing outside the door with a bag. "What are you doing here Mom?" I asked."Are you just going to stand there? Come here and take these bags from me!" She said, and stepped in but instead of helping her get her bags I went to take my sit and picked up the popcorn which I was chewing.My mom's eye met mine with shock then she looked at her bags which she left on the floor and back at me, " You don't want to help me? What is wrong?" She asked in a calm v
"There's no need to answer Aiden. He is just a confused man who doesn't know what he wants." I mumbled and dropped my phone aside.Three hours later, as I was busy watching TV, I heard my phone ring and immediately I opened it, it was Elias calling. "Why should he be calling me?" I sneered and dropped the phone beside me. The phone rang again but I looked at it and removed my eyes. Messages started dropping disturbing my peace," WHY ARE YOU NOT RESPONDING? DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING URGENT HAS JUST HAPPENED?" I hissed as I read the last line, "LET THAT SOMETHING URGENT GO TO HELL THEN CAUSE I DON'T CARE!" I sent back the message to Elias."DO YOU KNOW THE DEPTH OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID? YOUR MOM IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND WAS INVOLVED IN A GHASTLY ACCIDENT. RIGHT NOW SHE IS NOT BREATHING!" My heart skipped a beat, "Hope this better is not true oh no!" My hands began to shake. "WHAT HOSPITAL IS SHE AT LET ME COME THERE," I replied."NO, YOU WON'T KNOW THE PLACE, COME HOME FIRST, WE'LL DRIVE YOU
My eyes started sweating as I walked out of the house, "They keep playing with me!" I muttered angrily, tightening my fist as I walked out of the house. I grabbed the hands of the car, got in, and slammed the door. I ignited the car and zoomed off.With my head hitting the pedal and brakes, I dodged vehicles as I drove. Within forty minutes, I arrived home. Coming out of the car, I slammed it and went straight into my room as I got in.While I lay in bed, my eyes welled up with tears. I slept off.Three weeks later, I got a phone call from my mom. I had already blocked her since the day she pranked me and I forgot to unblock her, same with Elias and Aiden. I had just unblocked her earlier in the morning and she was calling already."Mtcheew! Y'all can go to hell, I ain't gonna pick up that call! And I don't want nobody showing up at my door looking all drained trying to gaslight me and mess with my feelings!" I screamed as I watched the phone ring."Maybe I should just block her again
In the car with Roland, as he drove and the heavy music blasted I leaned my head on the window, lost in thoughts. I felt like I was slowly drifting away from my mom."Hey baby, what do you wanna do? Go shopping first or go to bed eat?" Roland asked, tapping the steering while waiting for the traffic light to turn green."Um...I think let's go shopping first," I replied and he winked at me, "Okay bay," he hit the pedal and zoomed away. We arrived at the shopping mall where I was given his card to use and I got everything that I liked and wanted.After the shopping Spree, we went to get something to eat and then we returned home. On getting out of the mall, Roland decided that I come over to his place and that I agreedAs we got to his house, he decided to take his baths first. As he got into the bathroom, his phone pinged and I picked it up, it was a message and the headline caught me.Luckily his phone wasn't locked and I decided to invade his privacy, my mouth widened in shock as I r
"And what do you mean by holidays?" My mom let out, huffing and folding her arms as she watched me. It seemed like she was deeply surprised. "You guys don't want me here or what? Look I'll just go over to my room and enough of these questions!" Mom and Aiden looked at themselves in surprise as I walked past them. I went back upstairs to my room, as I dropped my small purse on the table a thought entered my head."That's true!" I let out. I picked up my phone to check my account balance. "Would this money be enough for rent or maybe I should just buy it?" I wondered as I stared at the two million dollars sitting prettily in my bank account.I thought about getting myself a house and moving out fully. My phone flashed again, "SIXTEEN MISSED CALLS FROM ROLAND." "Does he want to kill me for goodness sake? If you call twice and there's no response isn't that enough to not call again? But here he is acting like he really cares!" I angrily said.Who in the world said don't search your par
