Mark was shocked and couldn't believe his ears. He stopped to ask them the second time, " What did you just say? " " We said you should leave us the hell alone! " "What insolent!" Mark got upset and went to Gabriella to ask her questions. But, he got to the room and met Gabriella, trying to put her things in place. He wanted to turn around because he felt Gabriella was busy at that moment. But he just couldn't hold it back, he had to because he was already there after all. " What in God's name is wrong with your kids Veronica? " " What happened Mark? " " Look Gabriella, they are being so rude and I don't like it " Gabriella felt a little disappointed at Mark considering how fast he is at luring the girls into liking him. , "Come on Mark, these girls just got here. I think you need to give them some time to get used to the environment" " It's fine If that's what you suggest, " Mark said and was going to the kitchen to finish with his business when he suddenly turned
" Listen Amber I can't bring myself to like him. We just didn't connect at all. " " I too, Sofia, but I don't know why mom had to do this seriously. " " I have a plan Sofia. We pretend to like him. Why do we look for a possible way to get mummy and daddy back together? " Sofia wondered how possible that was going to be, because if they couldn't do it, why still with their daddy Richard? How is it possible they can do it now? "I doubt that Amber " " how do you mean Sofia? " " You know we once tried begging on daddy's behalf but mummy denied having anything against him, so what do you intend to do now that we are out of his house? " - Mark's POV- I see no genuineness in those girls' smiles. I just know that no matter what they do, I can never stop myself from loving Gabriella. I just hate that she has them now. It's a good thing they decided to be of good conduct cause I don't know how long I would have tolerated their little annoying character, whatever made them
" Look Richard I'm so disappointed in you. How could you isolate yourself because of a woman? " John was extremely angry to the point he was going to leave immediately when Richard called him back and said, " John, you're aware this is not just a woman, right? " " Whatever she is Richard, you need to get yourself out of these shackles " Richard looked at him and tears dropped from his eyes. He was going to leave John out there and move right inside because he felt John did not understand what he was going through when John called him back. " Don't go, Richard, I understand "". No you don't, because if you do, you will understand. I'm alone right now. " Richard said and quietly entered his house and was about to close the door when John held the door and asked if he could come in, but Richard didn't seem to care if he came in or not as he left the door open and walked straight into his house without looking behind. "Come on wait for me, man" Chloe seems not so happy with
" I don't understand, What do you mean Mark? " " I mean, I can't have you work for anyone. , I would like you to stay back here. And I will take care of all your needs. " At first, I thought he was joking till I saw the seriousness all over his face, and then I realized he meant every bit of what he just said. " You know that's not possible Mark? " Yea Gabriella, it is very possible and I want you to desist from every effort of looking for a job. " Well, it might be what he wants. But it's not what I can live with. I have always had the zeal to work for my every penny, but I don't want him to think otherwise. So I decided to make him understand why it wouldn't work. " Look, Mark, I'm sure you didn't just know me today. " "You right Gabriella "" So, can you remind me of one thing I love dearly? I need your honesty please " " I know Your industrious and quite innovative Gabriella " Mark said that so if he knew all this about me, what could have prompted him to ask for
It took me quite a long time trying to figure that out, after a long thought I realized it’s not something I can do, I got up that faithfully day to go look for a job when John saw me dressing up he asked where I was going.“ Do you have somewhere you're going to, you’ve been in the mirror for close to 30 minutes now?”“ Yea I’m out in search of a job, I will be back before you know it”His countenance completely changed but I didn’t regard it cause, there’s no point accepting what I know I can’t keep up to, then he goes.“ But Veronica I told you, you can’t do that didn’t I?”“ You did Mark but here’s the sad news, I can’t watch myself being transformed into what I’m not. That’s not possible Mark”“ But you have to do it”“ Impossible!”I stood up and left immediately without having to think about whatever he said, I mean it’s not worth the stress, I have always been lucky with jobs and God made it easier on that day I was able to secure another job.Though it’s not as big as Richar
Richard tried all he could to make his mother feel better, but Mrs Christy insisted on knowing the reason why he would see his call and not pick up, something he’d never done in the past. " Richard, I want to see you this moment, so get yourself down here! " " Mum I'm a little busy right now " " Let whatever your doing, wait for now I need to see you, Meanwhile, how is Gabriella she hasn’t called in a while now? " Richard paused for a minute, because that's exactly why he had been avoiding his mother's call, and didn't know what to tell her. " Gabriella is very well mother" " So why don't she take or return my calls either? " "I will find out when she comes back mother" " It's okay. get here in time Richard " She said and ended the call . While Richard kept thinking of what to do next . He thought about going to his family to see his mother, but felt that would only complicate things for him. And he wouldn't want the family, especially the grandfather, to hear a
Richard stood up with speed, wondering why in God's name he had Gabriella and Sofia seated right beside him and he just couldn't believe anything at all.At first, he felt his imagination was messing with his, so he stood up immediately to leave, Sofie held his hand and said." Uncle please don't go, keep my mummy company please"" But Sofie I need to go, I might lose my mind if stay back here"" Uncle please don't go"Richard looked at her innocent face but didn't know what next to do, he could not tell her No, he looked around him and saw a young man passing by he quickly beckoned him to come, when the man came closer he quickly introduced himself to the man to be sure he's actually in reality." Hi my name is Richard, what about you sir?"" You crazy or something man? You called me here to ask my name?"" I'm sorry I just needed to do this man"“ You’re crazy, fuck you!"The young man got really pissed and walked out immediately, when he left Sofia's mum tried making him feel at ea
God damn it! Richard said turning around, looking for a way to pull her mum out so she could tell him everything but Sofia seemed to have taken over her mum.Gabriella ended up enrolling her kids into school but the girls seem to find it difficult to accept the fact they won’t be seeing their daddy Richard, and they don't seem to like the new school.Gabriella woke up the next day to get them ready for school so she could as well prepare herself but the girls refused to go to school, Gabriella tried all she could but they seemed to have made up their minds." Come on girls you know you can stay back here right?"" I hate that school mum, I can't find my friend there either," Sofia said folding her arms" Why do kids in that school like that? I hate it when people look like they have lost their senses" Amber asked her mum.Gabriella almost burst into laughter but she just had to hold it back, cause those kids they are voicing out their pain and would feel more pain if end up laughing a
Shortly, after, the rest started coming down from the car one after the other and immediately Christy's countenance changed on seeing Gabriella, Richard noticed and said to her, " Mother please not now" she passed Gabriella went straight to the twin and opened her arms for them to come in." I have really missed you girls, do you miss grandmother at all?""Yes grand mother we do, good to see you again" the girls said at same time, immediately Richard came and interrupted them with his question, " Mother have you seen grandfather today?"" Haven't set my eyes on him since today, but he should be in his room"" I should go look for him now mother"" You should actually Richard, your grandfather is really mad at what he heard about you" Christy whispered to Richard's ear.Immediately he turned to go after his grandfather the mother said to him, " Richard make sure you only listen when he speaks okay?" he looked and smiled then headed off to his grandfather's room, he got there
On their way Richard had the urge to call John and invite him over to his family house, he called the first and second time but notice John was on another call so he decided to give him sometime and probably call him back.Few minutes later John called Richard back and he didn’t hesitate to take his call, " Hello John my good friend" " Sorry man, I was on a call with Chloe the time you called"" Chloe again, has she said yes already?"" Yes man she just did, I'm so happy".Richard smiled then turned to Gabriella and saw her smiling too, he didn't go asking her why she was smiling cause he already knows, he then continued, " That's good man, I'm glad she did, I actually called you to invite you over to my family’s house today"" Is there a problem Richard?"" Not at all man, I just need you my close pal by my side and that's all"" Nice one man but can i come around with Chloe?"" Feel free man, she's your girl now isn't she?" You can say that again Richard, meanwhile I need to i
Richard smiled and gently walked her to the couch to sit, few minutes later she looked and saw Sofia and amber looking at her and smiling, then she proceeded to ask them," What is it girls, are you both okay?"" Are we missing something mummy?"" How do you mean, did something happen?"" Your Look happened mummy, what in the name of beauty is this?". Sofia said with smiles all over face." You mean I look beautiful like this?" " Yes mummy, you are more than beautiful, please what are we celebrating mummy, daddy?" Sofia said looking at Gabriella and Richard, and they in turn looked at each other and said at same time," Nothing actually girls, is just a visit to the granny's"" I doubt this mummy, but we gonna find out soon"" Find what out Sofia, what is wrong with this girls?"" Nothing mummy, please who are we waiting for again?"" Ma'am Caroline Sofia, she's not in our midst" Amber said" What is holding her back? please let me quickly go get her".Sofia got up and about going o
-Mark's POV-After all the hard I fought I still ended up in this place without achieving my plans, how was I suppose to know uncle Richard would come for me that early?.My plan was to strike the third time then forcefully take Gabriella with me, cause that lady is my whole life, little did I know he has his own plans going on in his mind too, but come to think of it, how did this people find out I was the person behind the accident? yea I know I made the girls own quite open to them cause I was actually beclouded by my emotions.But this car thing got me really surprised, how were they able to know I was the person behind it? I just ended up a looser after all the hard I fought, if only I can turn the hands of clock, who knows where he would be taking me to after now. My mum will be surprised hearing the things I did so far just to have a woman for myself, csuse I know in the next family gathering grandfather would definitely want her to be there, and all this will be unveiled.R
She dragged her hands off and immediately ran to block Chloe's walk way, when Chloe saw she was shedding tears already she had to draw her closer and said to her, " Please don't cry Jessica, aunty is fine okay?"" So what is the problem aunty Chloe, why are you acting so strange?"" I'm not acting strange Jessica, I'm just overwhelmed by the moment"" Overwhelmed by the moment? what does that even mean?".When Chloe saw Jessica wasn't going to give on the questions, she then slowly whispered to her ear, " Uncle John was here" Jessica was excited and almost ran off with the excitement to go meet John outside when Chloe said to her, " He just left Jessica and he sends his regards and that pack you are holding"" Wow, I'm so happy aunty Chloe, did you guys hang out?" " Yes we did Jessica, can we go in peaceful now?"" Off course aunty, but did he say anything to you?"" Yes he did ma'am, and I'm sure you already know what that is".Jessica screamed and hugged Chloe very tight but
" Can I Please think about this John?"" Take your time Chloe, but just know I anticipate a good answer in the future"" It's fine John, I've heard all you said, I need to leave now I didn't tell Jessica I was coming here"" Yeah you would but you need to eat something first and possibly take some home to Jessica".He stood and held Chloe's hand then adjusted the chair to give her space to walk through, " Thank you John" " You are most welcome, now let’s go grab something to eat".They walked to where John parked his car and drove to the restaurant Chloe earlier mentioned she would like to eat in, soon their were there and placed their orders but John was shocked with how Chloe was rushing on the food, " But you never mentioned you were this hungry Chloe?".She looked up with her mouth filled up but didn't know what to actually say to John, she slowly bent and continued devouring her meal but suddenly said to John, " This food taste really nice?"" I know right?"" Yeah I had alwa
She became worried as John doesn't want to come straight and tell her what the problem is, she decided to stay calm and observe him but when she saw John was not ready to speak, she said, " How long will this continue?" she asked John and bent over the table.When John saw she was going emotional he had to quickly say to her, " Chloe?" she raised her head but completely down, " What is it John?" she asked him with eyes already turning red" I actually asked Jessica to speak with you on my behalf".For a complete 1 minute Chloe's eyes were still wide open, the shock completely took over her that John had to hold her two hands, immediately she looked down and saw John holding her hands.-Chloe's POV-Holy Jesus! what exactly is happening here right now ? I'm I being pranked on or something? what did John just said now? and why does his face look like he mean everything he is saying? my God, I seriously need someone to wake me up from this sleep cause I'm tired of dreaming.What if t
" But I told you to stop talking about that right?"" I'm sorry aunty Chloe but I can not, he likes you for real".She stood up from the bed in anger and kept walking round the room, Jessica herself became really uncomfortable as she doesn't know what she can do to make Chloe feel relaxed at that point, she stood up walked towards Chloe who was standing at the window and looking out from there.She got close and about to hold Chloe's hand when she screamed at her, " Get your hands off me Jessica!"" I'm sorry aunty I didn't mean to get you this upset Please" Jessica said going on her knees" But I told you Jessica, didn't I?"" You did aunty Chloe, but he just told me that himself"" He did what?".She quickly turned and rested her back at the window while looking at Jessica, " Yes aunty Chloe he actually did, he said he doesn't know how you may feel about it"" Really?"" Yes aunty Chloe"Chloe held Jessica's hand and said to her, " Going foreword Jessica I don't ever want you t
John took his time explaining his feelings to Jessica and she was shock at first, she thought about how herself and John could be thinking in same direction, " Uncle John should I see this as a joke or something?"" No Jessica, it's definitely not a joke, I myself can't explain how I came this far, and I can't put a stop to it either".-Jessica's POV-My goddess, my goodness, my goodness! he finally spilled the beans, my God I’m I dreaming? I told aunty Chloe Nothing is ever impossible and she thought is part of the kiddies talk.Now loook at it he has actually been feeling same way to the point of expressing his feelings, oh my God how can I hold back this joy so I don't make it too obvious to him that I have always wished for this my fairy plan to come to an existence?.But Nothing is wrong with him finding out anyways, at least it's a good deal on my side cause my aunty will end up buying me the dinner gown, wow! finally I'm going to own that same gown that I have always cherish
