PETALS’S POVI was so pissed at all the questions my mother was throwing at me when she was just seeing me for the first time in years. We had cut ties with each other ever since she got married in less than six months our father died. I was so mad at her for moving on so quick and even told her that she was already befriending the man before our father died and she might even be the one that killed our father.I knew the words I spoke to her were heavy and harsh when my anger got subdued but it was already too late, we had gone our several ways.If we both stepped inside the house, we would never stop arguing throughout the night so I opened the door for her to have the house to herself while I go elsewhere to cool my head off before deciding if I will come back for the night or not.“Are you going to leave me here? Alone to myself?” she yelled and stopped me from leaving“Then should we continue shouting at each other? And wake all the neighbors? To tell them that what? I don’t even
Stanley’s mom had previous spoken to him that he should break whatever relationship it is he has with Petals nicely before she takes action but he told her to try everything she could because he will never let her go this time.After suddenly receiving a package that was brought by one of the securities to his office, he saw the first move of his mother and couldn’t believe that she took such a step.“Is this woman serious right now?” he muttered as he read through the document claiming that his mother had pulled out her investment in his company.His hand got heavy with the document and several thoughts ran through his head as he went over it several times to be sure that he was seeing well.“Are you going to play your game this way? You are really trying to break me” he sighed and decided to stop looking at it before it affects his condition.He was already feeling some constriction in his chest so he rushed up to pick his pill and took the required amount before he gets a sudden at
A WEEK TO PETAL’S INCIDENTWe all slept over at Irene’s place on the night of the reunion after a long talk into the night. The next morning, we were woken up with the notification that someone was there to pick up Monica.“Me? Pick me up? Who?” she queried with a mouth full of toothpaste’s foam“Your father’s secretary is here. He said your father instructed him to pick you up” Irene passed the message across clearly and she scoffedShe didn’t even reply and went back to the bathroom to finish up what she was doing. We thought she would not give in to the request with the way she was just going on about her business without bothering that someone was outside waiting for her until she dressed up and picked her bag.Irene sprang up “You are going with him?” she asked and Monica noddedHer reply got Irene puzzled because no one believed that she would want to go back inside that house when she got kicked out by her father and have been left hanging for several weeks.“Let’s calm ourselv
The adopted parents of Matina served both the twins and Stanley some fried chicken as they talked about how Matina’s life went with the little time to they shared together before she died.“Matina would always talk about her friends that she lost. She would constantly talk about how she wanted to see them so bad and how they promised to have a hangout at the age of twenty. She was so excited about the hangout on her nineteenth birthday even though she was hooked in the hospital but till she drew her last breath, she had her hope high that she would be able to meet them” the mother explained, dabbing the edge of her eyes with her apron to avoid the tears from dropping.The father added, “Matina never for once forgot where she came from and that didn’t bother us too. We understood that she grew up there all her life and her heart must still lie with them so we made sure to give her the best treatment. It’s a pity that she left us so soon. Also, she didn’t want to be remembered as a Fren
S STANLEY’S POV Immediately I stepped down from the car and walked to the place where Petals was waiting for me with her friend, the friend suddenly made an expression that got me startled. “Oh my God! Matthew! How come I am seeing you in person? This is fascinating” she screamed loudly as soon as she set her eyes on me, making me pause in surprise. “Who? Are you talking to me?” I asked, pointing to my chest and she nodded happily “I am sorry but you have got the wrong person” was my response but she shook her head that she was sure that she wasn’t wrong about what she was saying Petals had to step into the awkward situation and cautioned her that I was not Matthew but Stanley. “Tolu, what do you mean by Matthew? This is Stanley, he’s the one I told you about” she muttered to her but it was loud enough for me to hear. “Oops! I must have made a mix up, he looked so much familiar with someone I know” Tolu finally stated and Petals apologized on her behalf “No, that’s not a probl
I met him attending to something important on a call with one of the departments but didn’t hesitate to sit into his laps to his surprise. I was feeling happy, thankful with a little bit of naughty and he was quick to pick up the signal because immediately, he wrapped his big hands around my waist to keep me still till he was done.Since there was a button that controlled the door at his table, I needed not fear that anybody could come in at any time and just relaxed in his arms.“Baby, do you think I would be able to concentrate with this? Your whole existence distracts my sanity” he whispered close to my ears and I smirked, trying so hard not to snort.I only adjusted myself well to what he said and I could hear his soft grunt in my ear before he leant closer to me and aimed for my lips. I closed my eyes waiting for whatever it is to come but I felt his hand slid across my neck and heard something snap.My eyes opened alongside the sound to see him smiling as he was looking at me ke
