He gave a look to Jeff that said get out of here. He left me then and there without any adieu. I sighed here it was the moment I dreaded most in my life and dreams. He stood there with eyes that resembled the iciness of glaciers. Only his gaze softened when he caught an occasional glimpse of Angel."Hello, Dane. It is good to see you", I said honestly. I never thought I would be seeing him this soon. I always thought of meeting him through my daughter who would have been a teen at least. But God works with his plans often toppling ours in the process."Is it? I can't believe it", he said."Angel can you wear your headphones for some time?", I asked her. I didn't want her to listen to our conversation even though she couldn't understand half of what we said. She obeyed me without a question and I took a sigh of relief that she didn't question my authority in the presence of her father. " I didn't expect to see you here. I was called by Jeff. He didn't tell me that I was supposed to me
The drive to the daycare had calmed him down. My baby was now very happy that he has a new man in her life. I had no idea how she felt about Dane. But she had immediately climbed on him when he met her. That wasn't a normal behavior with my child she is very shy. I knew I should introduce her but for now. He can be an uncle. I don't know whether Dane is going to agree with my decision. I have to try and talk to him about this. She shouldn't be shocked into accepting someone who hadn't been in her life for three years. I don't know how much she knew about the father dayg dynamics happening around her. But she is wise enough to know that she doesn't have one.After dropping her he took me to a cafe. I wanted to ask him so many things. But I didn't know where to start. I know he was very angry with me. I wanted to know how easily he moved on with my sister. Why was it so easy it him? Was I so replaceable? I was very happy for him and in my heart I always wanted what was best for him. I k
"I can't go back", I said to him."You have to", he pressured me.Why was he forcing me to go back? So that I could see my love getting married to someone else? So I could lose my daughter to my ex-husband? I can't do that? He better learn it rather than fight with me."I want my daughter. You better leave America soon. Don't force me to bankrupt your Jeff so that your employer can't sponsor you anymore", he said."Jasmine will sponsor me?", I said."She won't. I will make sure of that. I have contacts here. Don't force me to use it", he said."Are you threatening me?", I asked my eyes filled with tears."Are you crying right now? You are the one who caused this mess in the first place. You left me and moved back knowing you are pregnant. You expect me to let you go forever and ignore the fact that I have a daughter who I'm not able to provide even when I have everything ", he said." I can't go back to America. I'm happy here", I said forcibly."You can stay back. But I will take Ang
I don't know what I should do. I have to go back. When I go back there will be Enzo waiting for me to destroy my happiness. Now it is tied to one more person I care about more than anything in this world my world my daughter. I don't know how could I save her life. To save her I would have to stay back but I knew that Dane will not allow me this. He wants us back home. He wants his daughter to be on his side. I can't blame him. He was deprived of his daughter all this time. But the price I have to pay for going home is the life of my ex-husband and perhaps my daughter too."What have you decided?", asked Jasmine."I don't know. Dane wants me to go back. But it is not possible Enzo could hurt him and Angel if I ever returned." Then tell him that ", Said Jasmine." I can't say anything. Telling him the truth means confessing the fact that I left him because Enzo threatened to kill him. That would hurt Heidi's chances to be with Dane", I said."Who cares? It is not like she didn't know
"She ended the call", I said."That was expected but it is not her we are calling. Why is Dane not picking up the phone?", she asked me."I don't know", I told her."Maybe he is in the shower", said Jasmine.I tried not to think of them both in the same room. I was getting hurt as it is. I need no more pain in my head and heart."She is a bitch after all you did for her. Look at what she does in return", said Charlie."It is OK Charlie. She couldn't take the fact that I was going to tell him the truth. She will come around", I told her."No, she will never come around. You better tell him in person before she does something else", warned Charlie."I will wait Dane hadn't left yet. So he will visit me again. I don't want to go and hunt for him", I told them."Fine if that is what you want but be wary of her. She might be planning something. She is just like that old witch", said Charlie."Even if she tries anything she can't do it. There is only one option for me now which is to inform
I was feeling very disturbed now. I didn't want to hurt Heidi no matter what I told her on the phone. I had no intention to take Dane back irrespective of what she was thinking. Dane is now hers. I had made peace with that decision. All I want right now is my daughter. I can't let Dane take her away from me. No matter how much bad I was as a mother and wife. I don't deserve to be away from my daughter. I will fight for her. I will fight for Angel with anyone even the love of my life."Stop sighing too much", said Charlie."I was thinking of his reaction", I said with fear."Why? You don't have to. He will pick you up in princess style and throw you inside his luxury car and drive away never looking back", said Charlie."What are you saying?", I asked with a frown."I was giving a recap of what is going to happen", she said."That won't happen", I said in protest."Mark my words that is what going to happen and I will you I told you so", said Charlie.I was tempted to get away from her
I was shocked but not because of Enzo. I already knew this. He was alive and he threatened me to leave Dane. Otherwise, he said he would end Dane's life. So I left. I was going to confess it to him. But now there wasn't any need for that. Dane knew somehow that Enzo was alive. He wanted me to be alert. I was still very confused. How did he know?"Heidi confessed to me that she knew about Enzo three years ago. She says he just came to talk to her. He didn't say much just to stay put of his way", said Dane."Is that so?", I asked him. So Heidi said it before I could tell the truth. Now Dane knows the truth but only half of it. She hadn't told him that I was with her that day. We made a decision together for me to leave. Maybe she wanted to protect herself and stop Dane from renewing our relationship. I'm not going to ruin her plans though. I just want him to know the truth behind my denial to return home. So that he stop forcing me to return. I can't let him damage my friend's livelihoo
I carefully selected my dress. I didn't have much collection now thanks to my reclusive life here. I go out with my friends sometimes but there is no nightlife like that of America. This is an Arab country but u promise you that you won't regret moving here because of one thing food. You can munch on lots of delicious food. If you have an African palette like me you will fit here just fine.The heat would sometimes kill you but then there are pretty good things you are going to love in here. They have the best buildings in the world here and the oil is so cheap you would feel like it had no value. I applied makeup after a long time. I knew despite all the efforts I would still be insulted by Heidi but I don't wish to lose my confidence by going underdressed while she is going to be impeccable now that she had Dane's money at her disposal."Don't go she is going to entrap you somehow", said Charlie."I know all her tricks by now. I wonder what she wants to say. I promise you I won't fa
