I stood there and battled with the thoughts in my head, As I watched Richard picked up his car keys and left the living room.Whatever got him into this mood did it in my favor, Oh how I wish things would continue this way, I just want to always see him this happy at least,It would give room for long-lasting conversation who knows things might turn out just the way I want them. I was lost in another deep imagination when I suddenly realized myself.Took the girls upstairs, washed them up then changed them into a home way, and brought them downstairs, So now let's think of things to keep us busy.We need to get busy till the arrival of Richard, cause he already lifted off the burden of making dinner from me that evening.But first I need to find out what they wanna do too, cause they are my little mistress, their opinion counts too,“ So girls which do you wanna do first, attend to your homework or wait for daddy to come back?”The look on their faces already says it all, especially
The kids look all happy over the news of going to the granny’s, and I don’t know if I should be happy too cos the last visit didn’t turn out well.Whenever Richard has a plan to go to his family, either the family has a gathering or something, and if that’s the case, it means I will be seeing Mark again.I just hope it isn’t a gathering anyway, cause I’m not ready for any form of drama, at least not now.I need to recover from all the ones I’ve gone through.I slowly opened my eyes and it was 6:30 in the morning already,I quickly rushed out of the bed.My goodness! How could I sleep this deep and forget I have kids to get ready for school, I said while rushing to the twin's room to wake them up so they could get prepared for school.Got in gently and tapped them on their legs to wake up, Amber Rose was in a hurry like she had been waiting for me to come wake her up, while Sofia reluctantly opened her eyes and gently came down from the bed.“Okay girls we need to hurry, so you don’t
-Gabriella’s POV-Should I be happy that Richard complimented me for the first time, or should I be worried about the penalty that comes with lateness?My goodness, I tried snapping out the mixed feelings it was almost impossible, cause I didn’t know what Richard had in the box for me.Well, I won’t let this thought ruin my day, I need to get to work immediately.Meanwhile, I have some designs Richard asked me to work on earlier, maybe I should use this moment to look at them.I hope that helps, Cause my brain is stressed and needs something that can deviate my mind a little right now.-Maria’s POV-Well, I don’t know the secret behind Gabriella’s Beauty today, but she looks stunning, I mean different from the picture everybody knew.Could it be she’s pregnant? Cause I’ve once heard early pregnancy makes women glow.She’s just lucky, I mean who would be around Mr. Wong and not look extremely gorgeous, Just looking at him can give one peace of mind.I kinda envy her though, wish I coul
-Veronica POV-Can’t believe I ran into Gabriella after all these years, And she’s looking very beautiful, but what could be her secret?After many years of disappearing to only God knows where I was expecting to see some shattered human, but unfortunately she looked different from what I expected.Yeah I know I wasn’t a nice friend and all that, but you can’t blame me for what I did, 'cause she’s always getting the best attention, and every guy that comes around me wants to be with her.It wasn’t really easy being her friend but at the same time, the best among every other friend I had around me then, I wondered how I allowed jealousy to destroy what we had.Seeing her again reminded me of a whole lot of things, and I’m just wondering if she would consider having me as a friend ever again, if not besties at least just friendship. I’ve missed a lot.But I don’t know how I could achieve that when she bluntly refused to give me her contact, and even her pleasantries were displeasing a
And I didn’t think it would be that easy and faster, But I guess the universe is working in my favor, now chapter one is sealed.Well, Gabriella should get ready, I’m sure she’s not ready for what’s coming.- Veronica’s POV- I can’t explain what’s going on, because how can I explain, I met Gabriella just earlier today and now Mark is talking to me on the phone.The two people I ruined their relationship? Hmm, unbelievable, but why I’m always a substitute is what I can’t seem to wrap my head around.I’m I not good enough? Will it be a crime if Mark proposes a relationship to me? Can’t I be for keeps?This whole thing is becoming even more depressing than I think, cause how can I be living in misery all my life?Lord please I need my own, I’m tired of all these things happening around me, Okay look at Gabriella that I thought I was doing to get back at, look at how beautiful and rich she’s looking now.Why I’m here still my old self, exactly how she left me, Now he called and wants
It was Richard all this while? What is he now, a spirit? And when did he start walking without making sounds?He scared the hell out of me, I wish I could warn him not to try this with me next time, But unfortunately, he’s my alpha and I won’t dare.“I didn’t know it was you, how long have you been here?”I couldn’t even look at his face while asking him questions, can someone take me back to college, please?I feel like a teenager right whenever I’m around him, I just can’t explain having feelings for two men, at the same time.“Did I get you scared ?” he said looking right at my face but I couldn’t still face him, what should I answer him now, yes or no?Well, I had to pretend to be brave so I kindly told him. “No you didn’t, I thought it was something trying to crawl in, and the kids are downstairs, so I was concerned about them more “.Hmm, why does he smile like that? Gave me the feeling, I know you're scared kinda but didn’t want to say, of course, I’m scared, won’t you be scare
Ok since he already got me what to wear, I should do them, and they look really beautiful by the way, So it won’t be bad doing new things.This is the first time Richard is getting a present for me since this marriage thing began.-Richard’s POV-Why does she always look surprised with everything I do for her? We are in a marriage even though it’s not real but it’s something, so she should get used to whatever happens in it.She’s just full of drama and reacts over everything, I wish I could help keep that in check, but don’t think I have all that time.Well getting her this dress was international, and I wouldn’t mind doing that more often going forward, she’s my wife, right? And everyone believes that, so she should look like it when she’s with me.But it looks like she always overemphasis on little kind of gestures, Just hope she doesn’t see them as anything deep.I wouldn’t want to hurt her feelings reason why I don’t want to give her high hopes is that I know it will get to that
Everyone is busy with chores and the house glittering like it’s Christmas, wow coming here is always fun I can’t even deny that, just that Mark’s presence will always spoil everything. I was just taking a walk around the castle and admiring everything around it, and yes I’m pleased with what I’m seeing, decided to sit and rest a bit before dinner time, when Christy came out to join me.“Gabriella my favorite daughter inlaw” Wow that’s a good feeling knowing that someone is already seeing me as the favorite, that’s good.She’s here probably to ask me questions, lord please guide my words so I don’t end up saying things out of context, she looks friend-friendly by the way, there’s no need to get scared over anything.“Hello Christy,” I said feeling quite awkward cause I don’t feel comfortable addressing her with that, sounds disrespectful and I hope I can get used to calling her that someday without feeling some kind of way.“Good girl, I see you getting used to the name.”I seriously
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
