Plan? I was surprised to hear that because whatever plan she has should be for herself and not my business in any way, but I thought it was best I call him back at least to know what he meant by that. Cause he ended the call immediately, it looked like he only called to tell me about Veronica's plans and not really to check on me. Picked up my phone and dialed his number back. But he wasn't taking his calls, it’s not been up to 30 minutes. He ended the call where could he have gone just now.? I decided to let him be because he could be busy with other things. So is best not to disturb him, I thought, and was about to step out of the office when I saw his call coming in. " No, not at all, I stepped out of the room to get something. Sorry about that. Please " " It's fine Mark. I just wanted to know what you meant by what you said before the call ended. " Mark went silent for some minutes without saying a word, just wondering why he'd gone quiet all of a sudden and not want
I couldn't lay my eyes on what she was trying to hide even though I tried my best, but I guess she was smarter, she didn't notice I was watching all this while. I stepped aside to go hide out. Maybe I could see what that on her hand was and probably even drop on her conversation because she looked suspicious. I tried and tried, but Veronica is always good at what she does when it comes to hiding out. I stayed for a very long time but it didn't seem like what I could achieve, so I kindly walked away, While walking out, I still had the feeling that everything wasn't alright. I knew Veronica from Adams and I know when she's up to evil, could it be she's planning to hurt someone in this office? Who exactly could she be planning to deal with? I had a lot of thoughts going through my head but could not answer any of them. I thought of going back to that spot. Maybe I could be lucky this time, but on second thought, she might moved out already or probably facing the same direction a
THis is impossible! It can never be. How is Richard sitting with another lady in a restaurant a few minutes after work? That's impossible! Was he at work today at all? Because he left with the kids earlier than me. I dropped my phone to get a proper view to be very sure it was Richard. I'm looking at, Oh my goodness I think I would need a lens to get this right. What in God's name is going on here? Wait But I saw him leave the office some minutes before I did. Was he coming straight to this place? What about the kids thought he was supposed to go get them before, I can't see them sitting close to him. Where's his car? Wait let me look around for his car first of all. I searched but couldn't find anything that looked like Richard's car within the premises, and my girls were nowhere within the premises. Or could it be he came in a taxi? So nobody would find out he's in there with a lady? The taxi driver wasn't patient enough. He asked that I pay him so he could go his way. I w
I Sat back on the seat to see what exactly was going to happen at that moment. , I was completely restless inside the car, and the driver noticed how I was changing from one position to another. He held her hand and helped her up, immediately I opened the door and hurried into the restaurant. , I pretended I was coming in to buy food. Got into the restaurant only to find out I had wasted my whole day on delusion. At first, it didn't make any sense to me, because how could something look so real to the point I called Richard and this young man picked up the call. It doesn't make any sense to me. Something is not adding up, because how is this possible? Where is the resemblance here again? What have I done to myself? Why am I suddenly acting crazy? How do I explain to anyone who cares to listen that I have been out here since 4 pm chasing shadows What will I do right now? How can I undo this? What am I going to do right now, Lord? Wait. What if Richard asked where I had been
It took me 3 whole days to recover from the shock of what happened to me, wondering what exactly just played on me. The whole thing looks quite mysterious. Jane called the next day to understand what happened, while I had to switch my phone off on her. There was no valid point really because I could not defend myself. She just didn't believe anything I said. She assumed it was my way of not wanting to meet up with her. And whatever thing she felt at that moment is a valid cause, how can I explain to anyone’s understanding that this is exactly what happened? There was no point in backing up my excuses. I felt that same way when I called Jane and was not able to connect with her. To the point, I almost deleted her number from my phone. That's how it feels. If I were a human and I felt that way, then there's no way someone else wouldn't feel the same way I felt. Because he or she is equally human. So I tried my best to apologize to her and made her a promise to see her before
I hurried with all the questions because I was running late, because when I looked at the time I noticed I had just 30 minutes to the time I told Richard I would report to work. But she had more coming So I had to let her know I would continue another day because Richard was already on the verge of losing trust in me and I wouldn't want to give him more reasons to. I have given him enough already, and wouldn't want to add more, please. When I told Mrs Harriet I needed to be on my way, she suggested I stay a little longer, cause she thinks there's a lot to talk about. She said if nothing was done about my condition I might go completely insane, but I told her my next section I would make sure I had enough permission that would enable me to get all the help I needed. I tried my best to explain to her the situation at hand. She understood and asked me to take care of myself and, most importantly, stay out of stress for the moment. I was so much in a hurry that I ran out o
I was so confused and scared at the same time, he wasn’t talking to me and I didn’t know what the problem was if he didn’t say. I stood and got tired of standing cause I was completely exhausted , I felt I needed help at that point , come on I’m only a human and I have gone through enough stress already . Do I really deserve all of this thing happening to me? if there’s something I did wrong , the best I needed at the moment was speak to me at least . “ Please can you talk to me? I’m begging “ He looked straight into my eyes and I could see tears drop from his eyes, i became very impatient and I felt I needed to do something to get out of the situation . “ Look Richard you called me here , and I expect you to talk to me “ “ How dare you!” I freeze! for some minutes and didn’t understand what’s happening at that moment, some minutes later I started feeling my self back and some questions was popping in to my head. What just happened? Did Richard just screamed at me
" Answer you what Richard? Enough of this, You are frustrating me! " I lost it right there. I can't explain how I was able to do that. But I realized myself. Immediately I was done, but guess it was late to say anything else. I could hear myself crying like a baby and Richard didn't seem to care about me. I cried and wished my dad was there with me, at least someone who could make me feel better at that point. I could say I was a baby at this point because I was vulnerable, I just needed some care, but doesn’t seem like I could get that at that point. I needed someone to tell me to stop crying. You would be fine. I wanted to walk out of that door but I couldn't because my kids are at stake here. What if he refuses me to see them? What if I don't get to see them anymore? One of the reasons I'm extremely careful when it comes to Richard is because I know the consequences. And I wouldn't want to dear. " Did you just raise your voice on me, Gabriella? " " I'm tired of thi
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
