-Gabby's POV- Thought about it The whole time after Richard asked me to leave his presence, he was very upset and disappointed in me. How did I get here? And what in God's name is happening to me? How can I explain to him? that I’m not behind this? How can I face him going forward? How am I going to prove my innocence? What exactly is the reason why all this is happening to me? Where did I get it wrong? Just when I thought I had scaled through this process. Now look at me. Who would have thought a day like this would come in my life when I would feel completely a different person? I feel like running away but I don't know how to do that without my kids. If not for my kids, this whole thing wouldn't be happening to me. I take too much from these people. How can I come to work and the next thing is accusation? Whoever goes through things like this and still comes out very strong. Could please help me with an idea of how they did it? I think I will need help this period t
Received quite several calls from Mrs. Harriet the therapist the following day, but I was just more concerned about getting answers to what I seek I had to reschedule, Of course, it's important, but getting to the root of what's around my neck is more important to me at the moment. Made up my mind to do an underground check on who could be behind it was a hurdle though. But I had to take that part. My only suspect was Veronica at the moment because she was the only one I told about the project, never been deceived by my intuition before. I couldn't do it myself. So I decided to get a spy to help me with the job. I called and gave her every detail about Veronica, then returned and allowed her to finish up. " So Chloe It's simple, I just need you to spy on her and get back to me "" Okay ma’am, but I will be needing some cash to facilitate this plan. " " I got this for you. I need a neat job. Okay? " "Don't worry ma'am, you can count on me" I gave her the money she ask
Richard entered and saw I was with the girls. He stood for some time and almost turned to leave the room when I called him back. "Please don't go, Richard, I was leaving before you entered" I stood up and left the room immediately because I knew he coming to check on the girls, probably explaining to them the reason for his recent developments. I have always prayed he come back to his senses and not transfer aggression to these kids, and it looks like my prayers are about to be answered. I left but didn't go entirely, waiting behind the door to eavesdrop on his conversation with the kids. They seemed to develop cold feet towards him, judging from their response. " Have been busy lately. How have you girls been?” Looking like it was going to be a silent moment with the girls because I could barely hear them say something. " Will make it up to you girls soon okay? Look at what I got you. " I believe he went in there to give them a gift he got for them. I was trying to g
" Chloe, what's up? Been waiting for your call " " Sorry I kept you this long ma'am, just that uncovering that lady is a difficult one ma'am, but I tried all I should. " Does this mean Chloe took all this time to come back and tell me this trash? No way. Veronica is certainly a very smart young lady, but I was told Chloe could handle the most difficult tasks and I saw her as someone who can do this job too. Why has she returned with this? Well, I will find out soon, because I'm not letting anything stop me from doing this. " It's fine. I just want to hear you did it. and that's all. " " Wish I could say that too ma'am, But it's not as easy as you think. " " What are you saying, Chloe? "" Ma'am, please call to let you know I'm working on it, and trust me I will not disappoint you " That's unbelievable. I didn't expect to hear that from her. It's been days and yet nothing to show for it. Should I be worried or what? " So what is the problem, Chloe? Why does it take so
I needed some alone time to cool off my head and probably thought of a possible way to go about getting a person who could help track Veronica down. So I made up my mind to go swimming. I think that is likely to help ease off some worries, because is Saturday, and I won't have much to think about while I’m out there . I tried my best to put everything in place before it’s noon and good enough I was able to achieve that, and luckily, Richard seemed not to have any plans for the day, so I took care of the girls and left them in his care. Before I left, I told him I had a meeting to attend and would be back by evening . He wasn't even interested in knowing what meeting was that, he just waved me off. I was not bothered about that. and I can't blame him either . I guess nothing about me interests him anymore, as long as I don't take his kids along , he’s very OK with it. My plan was to go for a swim. but I ended up in the pub, where I sat and was debating on what drink to
I Stood up from my bed to go see him immediately when I suddenly had the urge to visit the toilet again, Not again. What did I take that’s upsetting my stomach? Is just red wine God. Spend quite a lot of time in the toilet and when I arrived, I forgot I had something to talk to Richard about. , I went straight into the kitchen to see what I could fix for dinner. I became scared to do anything in the house because I was beginning to feel like a stranger. Imagine Living in a house where you feel you are no longer wanted. I was able to fix something. and when I called the girls to come eat their meal They felt reluctant. I had to go take them by their hands to bring to the table, even though they ate little or nothing. And it was already looking like my girls were malnourished. But I can only hope things get back to normal someday. I tidied the dining and cleaned up the kitchen, and was about to take them to the bathroom when they suddenly declined. How? " You don't want to
After some time, I figured he might need someone to talk to, and I felt postponing it might lead him into doing something silly to himself, So I decided to give him a call to let him know I would see him. " Hey, look Mark I'm sorry if I sounded a little bit less concerned " " It's fine. Gabriella, I understand you. " No, he doesn't, and he would be quite surprised if he found out I'm going through this right now. , I knew he would go to any length to help out with this, the same reason I wanted to be there at the point he needed it. " No problem! Thank you for understanding. It has been a tough moment for right now. " " What is it? Gabriella, please talk to me " " Don't worry, I will be just fine, I also called to let you know I will see you tomorrow evening. " I could feel the excitement in him at the sound of that. He was really happy. And I'm glad I could be there for him. "Thank you very much, Gabriella, I appreciate this" " Okay Mark, you can drop the venue you
The almighty Richard, who ignored me all through my stay in his room, quietly closed his laptop and drew Amber closer to him, then beckoned Sofia to come closer. She moved close to him and he held them both by their shoulders and assured them everything was fine. " Sorry girls, I forgot to close the doors when I stepped out to get something from the car. ""Dad, is everything alright that has never happened before. " " Trust me, girls, everything is fine. " No, everything is not alright with Richard. Has his senses been affected or something? How on earth is this even possible? It's never happened before and that makes it even more strange. I left them in the room and went back to close the doors, then went to my room to change into something else. A few minutes later, I heard a knock on my door. "Come in" And the girls walked in looking sober. I was not surprised, I just had to cheer them up. But it doesn't seem like it's gonna work. A few minutes later, Amber asked me
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?
