At this point, I felt I could no longer stay home. I needed to walk around and see people, to be sure it was not my brains messing with me because everything was happening. And I can't seem to understand it. I think I need to breathe air from the outside. Will just wait for Richard and Richard to return from work so I can beg him to allow me, even if I will have to work for just 2 hours and go back home I'm OK with it. As long as I'm going to get rid of this moment I'm already into it because it is messing up with me, and I don't want to start thinking about it from my perspective because I may end up giving a wrong impression about the things happening to me. It was a long day for me because I kept checking time and looking through the window, to know when to start expecting him to be home. After all, I can't wait to talk to him once more about work. And I'm optimistic he's going to have a change of mind. 6 o'clock and he still hasn't come back? At this point, I wasn't th
" You're back to work Gabriella? Welcome back " One of the staff who came to my office while I was very busy cleaning the office looked unkempt. "Thank you very much, Annabelle " " Yes Gabriella, we thought you wouldn't be coming back here anymore. " " What do you mean? " I heard some group of People say the same thing on my way to my office but don't understand what they mean by that, and now Annabelle is in my office repeating the same thing. It's fine I will find out soon. " That has been a rumor going around. I just found out " " It's fine I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere. Okay? " " Okay, I will be on my way now " I don't know how they came up with such a rumor, but since when has become a crime to be on sick leave? Haven't set my eyes on Veronica, don't know what she has been doing in this office that made it look this way. I couldn't find a lot of things. And I'm supposed to have my privacy, right? There's no problem at all. I won't let any of
-Veronica's POV- I won't blame her, I blame myself for answering those stupid questions. Imagine asking if I knew what happened to her staff. , Maybe I didn't come here to work anymore but to watch over Gabriella's stuff. The audacity weighs too much. Going forward, the best she can do for herself is stay clear of me, because, with the way it is in my heart right now, I wouldn't mind killing her instantly and quitting this God-forsaken job next. She's just so impossible! Imagine ruining my plans. Why was it so difficult for death to take her from there? What's so special about her that is still keeping her to this point? I'm so pissed right now! How can I begin to unsay the things I said about her? Even when everyone believed me, now I will become a liar to most people. I just hate this! Even the president I have plans on, doubts if that one is going to work out because the way I keep getting failed plans lately is crazy. But I trust I won't give up. I will stop at nothi
My mum called to tell me about the accident I had and tried everything within my power to keep it from them. How did they find out about it I don't understand. There's absolutely no one here that knows me down to my family, so how could she have found out? and my mum didn't want to mention name either . This is strange to me as I didn't know who to ask. Maybe I should find out from Richard first to know if he was the one who informed them about it, before I can decide on what to do. I waited for him to come back, because he earlier said he would be going out to meet a certain friend of his. Richard is usually not the type that keeps friends, but something seems quite interesting about this particular guy that made him keep him for this long. I have never seen him with anyone else, apart from this particular guy . He lives a very private and strict life and can barely seen in all places. I waited and waited till returned very late and Each time he comes back home that
I keep having real dreams and I don't know why. Is there something I should be worried about? I was still recovering from the one I had and now this? It's okay I just hope I don't get into situations I won't be able to get out of it, because these things are becoming even more scary. Felt a lot, much better and I decided to walk around the house to do a little survey, and in the process, I found out we were out of groceries and the refrigerator was almost empty and it was Saturday . Just wondering what that young lady does in the house outside cooking and taking care of the kids. Cause there is no single thing that shows someone is actually working in the house, more reason I'm never a fan of domestic staff, I do my little best and leave the rest. So I decided to go on a surprise shopping but before I left I made sure no one knew my way about because Richard would not allow me step out if he found out, so I left immediately after breakfast. I had a very long list of w
Who in God's name is this MY LOVE called Richard? Could it be he is going out to see the same person calling him? because Richard doesn't go for a stroll unless it is morning. So who could be calling him and he saved the number with my love while my name is saved with Gabriella? Well, it's normal if he doesn't want to use a pet name for me since we are just there and nothing serious going on. I couldn't wait any longer. I had to quickly take the call to satisfy my hunch. It's not my fault if I go extra because he's trying to set boundaries for me. And maybe I should do the same for him, so No one would be at the losing end at the end of the day. I picked up the call and I regretted I ever did. I should have just looked at the phone and continued with my business since I had a lot to take care of. The stuff I came back with was still left unpacked and I planned to make dinner myself too. " Hello son, how are you? " " Hello Christy, it's me, Gabriella. Richard just stepped
It is quite unlike me not to notice my kids no matter how busy I seemed to be at that moment, but I can't explain what happened today. Maybe a result of tiredness because I did a whole lot at the mall, then came back home to meet Richard and his unending questions. I guess that contributed. I wondered where they could be at the moment because it was too early to go to bed, where could they have gone, I'm sure they aren't outside either because they prefer I sit with them while they play outside. I thought about where they could be at the moment, but nothing was coming to my head, so I had to go back to Richard to ask their way. Before I went back to the dining room, Richard already finished his meal. My God! He was indeed hungry. But I don't know why he's this hungry anyway. , He's usually not like this but only prefers to eat whenever he feels hungry, like I said in the past. I think Richard is a book. And I want to learn from him. because he's not someone you can know
I felt something just left me immediately. My God! How could I be so carried away that I couldn't think of the room in the first place? God knows what Richard had in mind all this while, cause his smile entails a whole lot, just hope I didn't mess up. But Richard seems very good at his game though. How could he make me go through all of that? It wouldn't have cost him anything if he had simply told me the kids were in their room . He just watched me go crazy and thought that was funny. He still came back after he left me in his room, to find out if all was actually well . He knew I was traumatised. So he came back, but don't know why he decided to go back to the living room where I was. " After you left the mall, did you drop by anywhere? " " No, I came straight home, cause I was very tired " " Hmm So what really happened? Do you mind telling me about it? " There was absolutely nothing to talk about. Why he was asking me all of that is what I don't seem to understand
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
