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
Richard told Sofia's mum a lot about her kids and how grateful he is to have them, but refuses to mention the situation surrounding him at the moment, Because he wants to hear from her first the reason she's getting a divorce." So tell me about you Gabriella, but first I want you to tell me the reason why you chose to get a divorce"" Like I said earlier Richard, this might bore you and I wouldn’t want to do that to you right now"" Don’t worry I'm not a lively guy, I’m boring like that"They both laughed it out and Richard was having a good time, after several months of living in pain, he suddenly saw reason to laugh again, Sofia's mum then decided to tell Richard her story since he so wished to listen." First I think is getting late and we need to leave here soon"“ Think So too, the reason you have to make it fast is so we can leave "She took a deep breath and started with her story and Richard seemed quite interested in it, that he had all his mind fixed on the story, everythin
Richard picked up his call immediately to hear what he had to say, cause the number of missed calls he got from him Was questionable and was suspecting something could be going on with him." Hello John what’s up?"" Man, Richard I’m pissed with you right now"" What's my offense man?"" Why have you been avoiding my call since? come on man, what did I do?"John was not sounding happy over the phone and Richard completely understood what his pains were, he tried to explain to him why he could not pick up the call while it was ringing." John I'm sorry Okay? you know I can't avoid your call for any reason"" So what happened, why the delay in response?"" I left the phone in the car while going for a stroll"" Hmm stroll? that’s good newsman, I'm very happy to hear this Richard"" How do you mean?"" Come on man, you know how scared I was seeing you cry every day?"They laughed it out and John was happy hearing Richard laugh out that hard after months of tears, he tried to ask him what
Richard came down from his car going into the restaurant when he saw Mark, but from the way Mark avoided him, he felt something could be wrong somewhere.Cause Mark would always come to greet him whenever and wherever he saw him, Why In God’s name was he avoiding me? Richard asked himself and walked towards the direction he was going, to make sure nothing was going on with him.While going he noticed Mark would always look behind to check and when Richard saw that he was convinced Mark saw him but chose not to greet him, then he added a little speed so he could meet him up.But Mark was rather faster and Richard felt a lot of energy was going to be needed to continue that, he quietly stepped back, went into the restaurant got his food and left immediately, but while in the car his mind was still not settled, he was just all about mark and how he avoided him.- Richard's POV-Mark saw me and avoided me? is there something going on I don’t know about? why would Mark see me for the firs
-Mark’s POV-I can’t believe Uncle Richard almost caught me, my goodness! thank God I was fast enough to avoid him.But why was I avoiding him in the first place? What if I have just given him a good reason to suspect me? Mark what in God’s name is wrong with you? How could you be so stupid?I just hope he doesn’t take what he saw so seriously, cause that would be me ruining completely everything.Richard resumed work the next day and his workers were all excited to see him, while some wished he had stayed longer so they could have more freedom to themselves.They welcomed him warmly and he was excited to see almost everybody happy about his return, He didn’t want to walk that day, he just needed to stroll around the company and see if work had been going well in his absence.He felt he had stayed off long enough to cause damage to his company, while walking around he noticed Annabelle's constant movements from one direction to the other, and he decided to observe her for some minutes
Gabriella poured out her mind but Mark was rather kicking against everything she said, the more she tried to make a point for Mark to understand what she was saying the more he kept saying the opposite. At a point, Mark felt Gabriella was exaggerating things and asked that she take it easy on herself as the kids may be doing all of that just to get in between them, but Gabriella felt she knew what she had seen going on and expected Mark to understand her point." Look, Mark, you're not getting the point"" What’s the point, Gabriella, Maybe I've suddenly gone daft"" My point is this mark...."Mark didn’t give Gabriella the space to finish what she had to say, he stood up and was about to leave the room when she called him back." Are you walking out on me Mark?"" Yes Gabriella, I think you need to relax and just be happy around me"" I can’t relax Mark they are my kids and you know that "He left and didn’t bother to give Gabriella any more listening ear, she got angry, followed hi
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
