JOANA'S POV

I kept replaying the CCTV footage during the time of my accident, but it just kept playing the same thing over and over again.

No one was ever close to my car during the period I was in the meeting, but it was not possible for the brakes to be tampered with when I was home.

I was getting more confused when I got a call; I picked it up without even looking at the caller's name.

“Hello…” I said softly, my eyes still glued to the screen.

“You're gonna hurt yourself if you keep looking at the screen like that,” I turned to see Peter with a coffee mug in his hand.

I ended the call, taking the coffee from him, “thanks.”

“Did you find anything?” He asked, still maintaining a clear distance from me.

“I honestly found nothing. It feels like I'm going in circles.” I maintained clear eye contact with him while sipping my coffee.

“But you know what, I did find something weird,” I quickly noticed his change in demeanour; his pupils flashed with fear.

    048 JOANA'S POV “Were you expecting me to sleep all day?” I walked to the couch, noticing their every body language. “Of course not, I'm just surprised. It's not just… you,” Caleb laughed, sitting right next to me. “I'll head back to the kids,” Peter said softly, still avoiding my gaze as he made his way back to the kids. “Why are you staring at Peter like that?” Caleb waved his hand over my face. “None of your business,” I rolled my eyes at him. Caleb frowned at the sudden change of my tone. “Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning? What's with the attitude?” I shrugged, “I admit I'm cranky. As I said, I didn't get enough sleep, so you better get used to it.” “Sleep, or is it that time of the month? Because this is so not you.” I slowly trailed my finger on his chest, smiling at him until I pinched his skin. He winced in pain. “Don't get on my nerves this morning? I'm as mad as I'll ever be, now tell me why you are here so early in the mornin

    049 JOANA'S POV We had clues, but it was not pointing to anyone making things even harder. I sank into my bathtub, letting the water soothe my skin. I really wanted to open my eyes, and the culprit would already be caught and leave me the stress of thinking. My mind went to what happened earlier between me and Caleb. The position he had held me under literally gave me butterflies. I don't know if it was because of the moment,t but lately, I find teasing Caleb fu; II lived for his reaction; he was always cute when he mumbled when he got mad but couldn't do anything. I was falling in love with Caleb, I didn't want it, but I couldn't help it. My heart had been broken too many times for it to start opening up again. But it was Caleb. The man who left everything to be with me, the man who was willing to risk his own life for my well-being. The man who made sure my children felt the warmth of a father. Maybe I was truly falling for his charms. He had been with me for six

    050JOANA'S POVThe look in his eyes was clear, but I don't know if I should believe it. It felt like the more I placed my trust in people, the more they would break it.I slowly pushed his hands off me, but he returned to that position.“We are not leaving this place until you finally forgive me,”I scoffed hard, “You went out of line, and you expect me to forgive just like that. It doesn't work that way.”“But-”“But what Caleb? Regardless of anything, you did send someone there to vandalize my office, to scare me, even if the person didn't make it, you still had that thought in your head.”Caleb's face dropped low, and he fell on his knees, “I know an apology would never make you forget the trauma I added to your life, I should have respected your decision but I was blinded by anger and couldn't see the real picture here, you know I can never hurt you and will never hurt you but please I ask you to forgive me this once and…”“And you promise not to let your emotions get the best of

    051JOANA'S POVWe stayed in the hug for a while, breaking it only when our limbs started to feel numb.“The next time something like this happens again, I'll make sure to cut off your tongue,” I threatened, but he just smiled.“Any body part of mine that you want to dismember when I betray you or hurt you, don't hesitate.”I didn't know if I should take him seriously because, from his tone, it felt like he wasn't joking.“Okay… you said so yourself, don't go back on your words when that day comes.”He chuckled softly, staring deep into my eyes, “That day will never come, and I'll make sure of it.”My heart kept racing when he was inches away from my face. Caleb knew how to make my knees wobble, and one thing was sure: I was growing feelings for him.I slowly pushed him away from my face, trying to hide the growing blush, “Let's go; I'm sure the kids will be wondering where we are.”I rushed down with my hands on my flushed cheeks when I heard giggles and laughter that were certainly

    052JOANA'S POVI noticed something was wrong with Clinton. His face was growing pale, I quickly remembered why Clinton didn't eat cakes.He had a serious allergic reaction to milk. He thought about my kids and forgot about his own.I quickly rushed to him, “Caleb… go to my room. You would see some allergic pills in the first row of my drawer.”Caleb was reluctant to go, “Caleb… now,” I urged him quickly. No matter how much I hated Clinton, I couldn't let him die.My kids' faces all grew pale, especially Mirabel, “Bel, my love, daddy's gonna be fine, it's a normal thing.”Clinton tried to soothe Mirabel, but he was literally finding it hard to even breathe, Caleb ran back with the pills in his hands.I put the pill in his mouth while Jake handed me a glass of water for him to drink.Clinton held the left part of his chest, trying to steady his breath. Soon, he was back to normal, but rashes were already all over his neck.Mirabel burst out in tears. Immediately, Clinton calmed down, I

    053 JOANA'S POV Caleb looked at me with a worried expression, “what's the crazy part?” I stared at him, battling if I should tell him the truth. Clinton had been stalking me for a while, but they didn't say if he was the cause of the accident. “I have a stalker,” it was the truth after all. Until I got to the bottom of this, I would not be saying anything. “Stalker?!” I nodded, “the police are getting to the middle of it, but the stalker wasn't the cause of the accident.” “But the person is still a stalker, whether or not they did anything bad, I really want you to stop taking things too lightly.” I placed my hands on him, “Thank you for always taking care of me and minding my stubborn ass, but not all stalkers are bad.” He gave me a weird look, “there are many cases where stalkers did vile things to the person they were stalking.” “You think too much,” I pushed his forehead with my finger. He grabbed it swiftly, “because most of the time, you make bad choices, a

    054 JOANA'S POV I chuckled softly when I saw Peter begging them to let him go, but they remained adamant. “Your kids are obsessed with play, aren't they?” Caleb had a small smile on his face. “That's the crazy thing. They are not really that obsessed with playing. It just happens once in a while; I just feel they are over-energetic because Clinton visited today, and they had cake.” “Makes sense…” he turned his head to me, “so what did you want to tell me that you had to dismiss the kids.” My breath seized for a while, I honestly did not want to tell Caleb because I could not think of his reactions, but at the same time, he needed to know. “So, remember the call I had with the police, right?” “Yeah, concerning the stalker, did you get any other news?” “The stalker was… Clinton.” I looked at his face, waiting for his outburst, but there was nothing. He was weirdly calm like he expected it. He let out an airy chuckle, “Oh my dear Joana, what did you expect?” I was

    055JOANA'S POVThe sound of my alarm kept buzzing, letting out a soft groan, I turned off the alarm to prepare myself for the day.I was beat up from thinking throughout yesterday, I was about heading into the bathroom when a text entered.It was from the delivery company, the jewellery had arrived.I put on my night robe heading downstairs, “mommy…” I heard my kids call out, all dressed in their school uniform.“Good morning, Mommy,” they said in unison.“Good morning, my love. I hope you had a wonderful night.”They nodded their heads quickly, “mommy what about your night?” Jake asked softly.“It was fine, mommy needs to pick up something, go have your breakfast.”I smiled at them as they ran to quickly have their breakfast.I enjoyed the walk to the gate of my estate. It had been a while since I had a walk. Enjoying the birds chirping, the morning sun that complimented my skin tone.The cool breeze that soothed my skin, this really made me feel calm, forgetting about my worries.I

    070 JOANA'S POV What the hell did I just witness? Peter meeting up with Anita? I wanted to know if those crazy hours of designing and work had ruined my eyesight but I wasn't wrong. Wasn't she supposed to be recovering from her accident? Who am I kidding? She was never in an accident, but she should at least try to make it seem like she was recovering. I scoffed at the heavy makeup she was wearing as they hugged each other and for some reason, Anita was smiling widely. Like they knew each other for a long time, I really wondered how long she was able to convince Caleb that she was a good girl. I picked up my phone and called Peter immediately. He picked up, “hello Pete, could you please pick up the kids after school today?” Anita kept touching his palms softly like they were dating or something but I couldn't see Peter's reaction. “I will, I'm currently meeting up with a friend, after the meet up, I'll head to pick the kids.” “Okay…” We ended the call and I pro

    069JOANA'S POV“Caleb… do me a favour,” I asked softly, squeezing the paper and throwing it away.“What favour, and what was in that paper?” He tried to glance at my path, but I had already disposed of the paper.“I'll explain later, but can you move back into the family house,” I immediately held my seat belt when he abruptly stepped on the brakes in the middle of the road.“Are you nuts?!”“Someone could have gotten hurt!”I yelled at the top of my lungs, placing my hands on my chest to calm my thumping heart.I checked around to see if there were any drivers on the road because they would surely land curses at Caleb's sudden reckless act.“I'm meant to ask you that you want me to move back in. Why?”“Firstly, get back on the road. Otherwise, we're going to get a ticket for stopping in the middle of the road. Once we get to the office, I'll explain better.”Caleb mumbled under his breath, and we got back on the road. On our way, I got a text from Clinton.“I've dropped the kids at

    068JOANA'S POVCaleb brought out his middle finger at me and went back to his room. It was fun seeing him and cute and all.I retreated back to the room when I saw Mirabel lying on the bed sleeping again, I knew it. Her brothers must have woken her up since the two were up.But Japheth and Jake were already in the bathroom, splashing water everywhere. It was an annoying habit of theirs to fully wake themselves up.“Do you want your punishment to increase…”*“You're going to fall if you keep running around like that…”The kids were exploring the house while we waited for breakfast until Jake ran into Gates Senior.I immediately ran to him, but before I could take him, Gates Senior already had him in his hands.Jake looked terrified, “good morning, sir,” he said calmly.“Good morning boy, running around like that, you were going to hurt yourself,” he said to him softly.“Good morning, sir,” I said, reaching to my son, “I apologize. My son was just enjoying the house so much that he di

    067JOANA'S POVCaleb wasn't happy that I was toying with his brains. He had no idea what I was talking about.“If she didn't have the child, then she would be panicking, but she's awfully calm,” Caleb asked, genuinely confused.I chuckled softly, “That's her facade, something she had been building for a long time,” I let out a tired yawn.“I need to head to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day in this house.”Caleb nodded softly, “Good night, have a good sleep.”Caleb slowly closed the door behind him. I slowly tucked myself, and a soft chuckle escaped my lips; Anita had been on top of this game for too long.It was time to make a triumphant return. Would I use my knight or play the games with my pawns?*I slowly flickered my eyes open, reaching out for my phone. It was barely 6am, I was hit with a terrible headache, and I needed some painkillers.Pushing Mirabel softly to the side, I made my way to the kitchen to make some warm lemon tea.I got closer to the kitchen when I heard

    066JOANA'S POV“YOU SAID YOU HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT ONLY FEW SCRATCHES!!!”Clinton quickly pointed out, his face cold with no expression on his father.“I… I didn't get into a nasty accident, just a mild one, that's why I have a few scratches,” she defended herself calmly.“And you fainted for over an hour,” Clinton attacked her again.She was trying her best to stay calm, but Clinton wasn't going to let her.“Clinton… you need to calm down, we should thank the heavens that she is safe and didn't get into a nasty accident. You would have blamed yourself for life.”I reasoned with him calmly that Anita may be smart, but she should learn how to cover her trails properly.One thing I have learnt so far about Clinton was that he hated being deceived.“I'm sorry… it was just too much for me to handle. Truly, I would have hated myself if anything should happen to you.”Anita smiled softly, “It's fine…” She darted her gaze in my direction. It was stern and deadly but still held an innocent lo

    065JOANA'S POVWe arrived at the hospital as the kids waited with Caleb and Clinton, and I went into the doctor's office.“Luckily, there's nothing wrong with Japheth. Everything seems to be okay. He's a strong boy.”The doctor smiled, passing the documents to me and Clinton, “Doc, are you sure? It took us some time for us to get him out of the ball pit.”“The pit was truly deep, but there were no pressures on him, so thankfully, there are no internal injuries.”I let out a sigh of relief as we headed back to meet the others. Clinton got a phone call and excused himself.We headed to the parking lot when Clinton rushed to me, “I'm sorry, I won't be able to drop you and the kids off; I have an emergency.”He bent to the size of the kids, “Hey guys, Daddy is really sorry, but I can't drop you guys off. I promise to take you to school tomorrow.”“Pinky promise,” they stretched out their pinky finger to their father, who smiled and snuck his bigger finger pecked their foreheads and left

    064JOANA'S POV“Mirabel…”My mother instinct kicked in, and I rushed to the sound. Mirabel was seriously crying; then I noticed that Japheth was missing, and Jake was removing some balls while crying.“He pushed Japheth,” she pointed to a boy who was hiding behind his mother. A tall man pushed them behind him.“Stop accusing my boy,” he growled at my girl. Clinton rushed him, grabbing him by the collar.“If anything happens to my own boy, today would be the last day you would see life,” he threatened.Caleb managed to bring Japheth. He was struggling to breathe properly.“Why wasn't your kid under parent supervision?” The man tried to defend his child.“Since your child was under parental supervision, why didn't you stop him? Oh wait, he's a child of a bully.”The man wanted to punch him, but Clinton dodged, folding his hand behind his back.“The dog who barks the most can't bite,” he pushed him away, “who's the manager of this place? I want the camera footage of this place asap, or

    063JOANA'S POVI sighed deeply, entering the car, Japheth and Jake still had a long face while Mirabel tried to make them smile.“Don't put on such a long face; see, we're finally in Daddy's car,” Mirabel tried her best to cheer them up.Clinton shook his head, sighing, starting up the engine, and heading to the ice cream parlour.“Japheth… Jake, cheer up, remember I promised you ice cream, so if you don't smile, I'm turning this car back home.”The boys slowly raised their heads, putting up a small weak smile. They were still devastated, but I wanted to teach them a lesson.Nothing should ever make them throw their fists no matter the age they were.“Those are not genuine smiles, okay, I'm turning the wheels,” he made a fake turn, and the boys quickly shook him.“We're smiling; don't go back on your promise,” I was about to scold them for their tantrums, but Clinton gave me a glare.“Alright… you win, ice cream here we come,” Clinton cheered loudly.I didn't like the fact that the k

    062JOANA'S POVClinton stopped talking. He was quite shocked by my behaviour, but I honestly don't blame him.“Funny how the old Joana couldn't say half of all you are saying,” he finally spoke up with a tiny smirk plastered on his face.I opened the door slightly. “Funny, right? Because the old Joana is dead.”I alighted from the car, walking slowly to pick up the kids when I saw my kids bowing their heads and a woman flaring with anger.Mirabel slightly raised her head and saw me immediately, Mommy…”I rushed to her, confused about the whole situation.“So you're the mother who can't train her children properly?” I raised a brow at the lady opposite me.Her son was standing by her side, I noticed my boys refusing to look at me even when I had arrived.“Japheth, Jake, I want you to raise your heads now,” I said in a commanding tone as they finally lifted up their heads.My boys had a black eye, and my sons had a freaking black eye.“Can somebody explain why on earth my boys have a b
