"Maria told Gabriella I needed to see her in my office the next 10 minutes" Richard, who just returned from lunch, said to one of his staff while going upstairs, She didn't have much to say, even though she was confused about how Mr. Wong passed the message to her. " What could be the reason for this? I thought they were supposed to be married. Why did he sound that way? " There were a lot of questions trooping in and out of Maria's hand and she seemed even more confused. She decided to go deliver the message passed on to her. " She got to Gabriella's office and she was quite busy with something, but she had to deliver the message anyway. ' " Mr. Wong asks you to see you in the next 10 minutes." Are you talking to me? "" Yes please, and he sounded quite urgent," Maria said and left immediately. Gabriella quickly finished what she had in hand and hurried to the office of the president. On her way, she was wondering why the president would send her in that way. She ha
-Gabriella's POV- Have never seen anything as real as this my whole life, and think this is the first time I've slept off while at work. Now I've been asked to see the president, the same way I saw it in my dream. Hmmm Oh God! How can I handle this situation? This has better be just a dream, because where should I begin? Plus my kids. How do I survive without them? I'm very sure Richard won't allow me to walk away with these girls. God would it not be better if I hadn't gotten this job in the first place? Because my kids now are at stake.Who did I step on their toes and not apologize? I'm exhausted thinking about this. Is there a need to go to his office when I already know what is going to happen at the end? Maybe I should just say a little prayer and then leave the rest in God's hands. She bent over her desk, said a long prayer, and thereafter ensured everything that belonged to her in the office was packed in a carton. She made sure she prepared her mind before
She returned and found Veronica sitting on her chair and she couldn't believe her eyes. I mean everything in this office. Why did she choose my own space? Has it gotten to the part where she doesn't respect boundaries either? No, I don't think I can take this, she thought to herself, moved in, and dropped the food she came back with from Richard's office. " What are you doing on my chair? In my own space? " Gabriella said, fuming in anger but trying hard to control it, to no avail because that was the height of the joke. " I'm sorry I thought you left from there "" You are sorry, you thought I left from there? What does that mean, please? " Gabriella asked as Veronica stood up from the chair in her own space, without uttering another word to Gabriella. " Well, you left this office for too long, so I thought you were fired and you went home from there " " Wait, you joking right? " Gabriella didn't believe her ears, after just many days of working with the company she'd
Mark was able to see Gabriella when she stood in shock looking at them. He was happy and didn't waste a second telling Veronica about it, but Veronica didn't believe him when he said something about Gabriella being jealous. " You know, I just saw Veronica now, and I think she saw me on " " This is her office, so get ready to see her more often " Veronica sounded unbothered about what Mark just said. " Well, I think she's jealous already. I can tell from the shock on her face when she saw us " " I doubt Gabriella still has feelings for you, and from what I see here, I think she's completely over you " Even though Veronica is not sure about Gabriella's love life, she believes what she and the president have is real, from what she has seen around her. " She doesn't see you anymore Mark, I think she's more into your uncle ".“ You don’t know Gabriella okay? Just stick to the plan”Mark knew exactly what he wanted and no matter how long it took him, he would wait as long as
How should I tell Mark Veronica could be his nightmare? How can I explain to him? Is she not really who she portrays? I wish I could come in to save him from this mess he's about to get himself into. Mark May has hurt me in the past, I know, but I can't wish things like Veronica for him. He deserves better even though I am not there anymore, and I hope I can get him out of this without getting involved, because if Richard finds out I'm dead. I think I saved his number on my phone after the last time he called. Maybe I should give him a call. " Hello Mark How are you, hope this is not the wrong time. " " Wow! I'm surprised Gabriella, you still have my number? " Whatever Mark thinks I don't know But I seriously need to do this, because I will be free from guilt too. " Yes Mark, was scrolling down my phone and it would be nice if I called to hear from you " Yeah, That's actually what it is. And I won't stop at anything. But if he insists, then I will kindly allow
I was having my alone time in the room thinking of Mark and his newfound love, for some reason that I don't know I kept thinking about Mark, whom I don't have any business with. If he decides to mess his life up I don't see how it's any of my business. I only did what I felt was right, but since he insists, I can only wish him good luck. When Richard came knocking on my door, at first I didn't know he was the one, thought it was either one of the girls or both. So I stood up to go get the door only to find out Richard at the door. I was surprised because I wasn't expecting him. " Hey " He looked like something was bothering him, cause he wasn't looking at Richard. I know, Well, I didn't waste my time asking questions, I just needed to respond to whatever brought him to my room this evening. " Hello " I responded and waited to say what brought him before I could go back inside. " Do you want to join me in the living room or should I come in instead? " I quickly g
It's usually not my thing. But I woke up early on that faithful Saturday morning at about 4:52. And I was feeling all cranky, and couldn't think of what to do to help me get better. I laid back on the bed still trying to figure out what to do, because I wouldn't want my kids to see me in such a mood, a few minutes later, I remembered a road walk can help. So I got dressed in sporty wear. I was able to get my hands on, it since I don't do sports. I usually don't see them as a necessity, so I hardly buy them. But the one I tried on didn't look any bad either. So I said and dashed out immediately to begin my mile run. It was a good feeling I don't know why I find it difficult to try it most times. I was almost getting to a 45-minute run when I saw Mark running on the same street as me. He was still behind me when I saw him and I pretended not to notice he was the one behind me, but What I can't explain is how he got to know I was the one running in his front. Before I
I couldn't believe what my eyes saw, Yeah I know he goes for a morning walk 3 times a week, but never knew this was his route. Is this his route or is Richard stalking me? Hope He doesn't come to me for answers. If he does, how should I explain to him that mark? And I just ran into each other on the street? Especially when Mark had told him I was his ex-girlfriend. Well, he hasn't reprimanded me about anything yet, so I will try not to jump to conclusion yet. It was indeed a day for me. And I was a little disorganized, because I knew Richard would confront me, but I managed to walk myself to the bathroom, wash off sweat, then went to the girls to check if they were out of bed. My good luck charms are already up and playing on their bed with their toys. No doubt they have missed me so much, you can easily tell from the excitement on their faces. " Good morning Mummy! " both said at the same time and left the bed immediately to hug me, "Good morning girls, it is time to fres
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
