Got to the car and about driving home when a mind said to me to check my phone, I picked my phone checked and saw missed calls from my father,

" My goodness it’s been like ages" I said to myself and quickly called him back to hear his voice.

" Hi dad!"

" Gabriella hello, how are you and my grand kids?”

” Everyone is fine daddy, I’m sorry I haven't called all this while"

" You should be sorry Gabriella, please if something is going wrong with you kindly let your mother and I know about it and not completely shutting us off"

" But I'm fine daddy"

" I know your not Gabriella".

I did tried to make him believe I was alright but he doesn't sound like he was ready to buy any of the things I said to him, " Look Gabriella, the last thing i would take from you is sit there and lie to me about stuff".

He sounded like he knew something was really going on and I was even more scared telling him anything cause he handles things differently and I wasn’t ready for all of that, " But you know I

    We got to the car and drove off, on our way I felt I could just tell him what I found out in his company but on a second thought I felt it would be dangerous so I decided to let that slide for the mean time.We got halfway and i noticed we were running out of fuel I decided to stop by the fuel station and get a fill, we were done and about to leave when Richard started tapping my hand and was pointing at a certain direction, " What is it Richard, are you okay?"" That should be Mark I’m seeing over there" he said and I took a close look truly that was mark getting a fill too." He is the one Richard, what do you want to do right now?"" I want to go over and meet him"" Then do what, fight with him?"" I don’t know, I just want to teach him a little lesson "" Like this? do you realise your completely down and can't do anything at this point?".I saw tears dropped from his eyes and I felt terrible for speaking to him that way, I should have used a more pleasing word than telling him

    " Why did you say that Richard?"" Cause the last time I visited I noticed some weird move from some of my trusted staff, but later got busy and couldn't go back there"." Hmm that was it right there" I said to my myself and moved back to my seat to get the complete details of what he was trying to say, " weird move? why would you say so Richard?"" Because these are people I have worked with and I can easily say when things are not the same way they use to be".I felt is the right time to talk to him about it since he already brought it up, " About that Richard I also have something to tell you concerning that"" About my company?"" Yes, but first I want to know the weird movement you said you noticed"" To be honest with you Gabriella, I can't say this what the problem is, but I definitely know something was going wrong from my last visit".-Gabby’s POV-I just hope what hope I'm about to say now won't bring him down, cause if he already suspect something is going wrong then the

    I waited patiently for what Richard said he wants to talk to me about but he still wasn't saying anything, then I had to ask him what it was he wanted to talk to me about when he said, " It’s about Caroline, don't you think is best I go show her the house?"" But you just got back from the hospital, why are you in so much hurry?"" Nothing, I just don't want her thinking it was all a joke".Thinking it was all a joke for someone who just got back from the hospital? I felt Richard was getting it all wrong and needed to stay with her the more so he could understand her her kind of person, " What if I tell you the only thing that woman does at the moment is pray for you?".He was shocked, I could tell from the look on his face, I bet he thought the warmth welcome he received was cause of the of the house he got for them, " Yes Richard, herself and her kids pray fervently for you to recover and come back home to us"" I'm happy to hear this, but I still feel is best I go show her the

    Suddenly I felt life coming back to me, cause few minutes ago Richard scared the hell out of me and I was scared thinking I did something bad, he then continued, " I promise to love you against all odds Gabriella and I will remain here in good and in the worst days".The joy all over my heart didn't hesitate to extend to every part of my body that he noticed it all in my body movements, then he continued, " I will make sure this smile on your face last forever Gabriella, and not make you cry till death do us part".Richard is no doubt the most beautiful thing that can happen to anyone's life, I felt the universe is just using him to wipe my tears after many years of pains, I never in my life imagined that a day like that would come in my life, I held his hand back and said to him." You are the gift I never deserved but God packaged you and handed you over to me, Just like my mum would always say to my dad, you will my lord and I will devote my entire life worshiping you Richard

    " It's okay Richard, if that's what you want then it's very okay by me provided your not gonna hurt your self on the process"" I will be careful Gabriella, trust me"" No problem whatever you want, but please is it possible you get some rest today? as the doctor will be coming later in the evening"" On it, I just came to talk to you about this"He said and stood up and then left afterwards, but I felt he wasn't so strong for all the drama at that moment but since he insisted, I decided not to be the reason for anything that would come up in the future.I laid back on the bed and the beautiful moment I had seen in my dream kept flashing back to me, I knew I had to fight that real fast cause if it continues that way I might completely loose my mind, I quickly got up went to the bathroom but it kept flashing on my face.I went into the bathtub, buried myself in it and after some time It started reducing bit by bit till I could not think about it anymore, I took a lot of time scrubbin

    " Go ahead Jessica, what is it?" John responded" Hmm, Just give me a second uncle John I will call you back please"" Whatever you say, I will be waiting"-Jessica's POV-is it not going to be best if I discuss this with aunty Chloe first and find out what she thinks about it before proceeding to relate it to uncle John?.Discussing it with her will help me know if I should go ahead with it or not, cause I wouldn't want her thinking I’m taking decision on her behalf, plus she's my aunty and I still remain her little niece so she deserves all the respect.Just that I'm a little bit skeptical about this whole thing, what if she says not in interested? how can I convince her to change her mind? cause I'm seriously sick of this thing she goes around doing, everyone now and thinks I will grow up and live this same life, I'm just tired.I will try something at least and keep hoping and praying at same time that she sees reasons with me, I told uncle John I will call him back, let me quic

Sure aunty, you Definitely know who I'm talking about".Chloe paused and looked at Jessica, and her thought went wild, she thought about how John would want to get her a job after everything she did to Richard.-Chloe’s POV-I'm pretty sure John won't give this a second thought, cause after seeing what I did with Richard he would never recommend me to any organisation.two, what made Jessica think John can stoop, she really do not understand, so because John asked her to see him as a friend she thinks that's all it takes? well what can I say ?
