With a Frown on, I asked.In return, he dragged me behind my car, forced my back on it, and said, "why are you marrying my cousin? do you love him?".I railed my eyes round, as he paid on a curious glare on his face."Yes!! I love him".( I said)Immediately, he lets go and pulls a step backward in disbelief, "No!! You're lying!! You're not in love with Brandon, you're not in love with him". ( Continued pulling away)
Quietness loomed around, we all had nothing to say but fill our mouths was food, Mr. Damien William, outs up his voice."What a lovely evening?". He says."Yes, you're right dad" Brandon affirms with him, shooting me a warm smile.I copied the same look and accidentally drips the glass of wine on the table on my clothing."Oops!!" I jerked up trying to watch for the stain, "dear, are you okay?". Sophia, Brandon's mom asks I juggled my eyes around to find the bathroom she noticed and points out the directions to me."Thank you, ma'am!!". I took sight of her and walked in, to clean up.I switched on the tap and carefully watched off the wine's stain on my clothes.But gears my eyes back to the door, when a familiar face walked in."Scott, what are you doing in here?".

Brandon placed my head on his lap.They raised their head upstairs and saw yulan's shocked expression, she staggered her way down and walked in on their angry faces.Scott gears up and dragged her over to himself, " did you do this?". He asked."No, I didn't!!"

Hi, I'm Boma Hart, there are a few things you know or maybe just forgot, the family dinner at Brandon's home, ended up being terrifying when yulan decided to shove me down the stairs.( The same day)I rested after coming home from the hospital, mom and dad left me alone in my room and while I tried laying down, the windows to my room were pushed open, immediately I jerked up from the bed, and In hopes to call for help, Scott revealed himself to me, spotting a stunned look on my face."What the hell?" A frown falls on my face, he gears my hand up and pinned me to the wall, reeking alcohol."Eww!!! Have you been drinking?" ( I asked)Scott remained like a plank and refused to say anything, he adds up his actions by tugging my hair behind my ears.His odd behavior got me thinking, what's going on in his mind?".After much fiddling, he lets out, " Boma!!

Can we talk?".He said, trying to ignore my presence in the room."Talk where?". Scott asked and in return he ( Brandon) shifts his eyes to the door and left him with me, deep down something tell me, Brandon's conversation won't be a normal oneNow reading as Brandon POVAfter seeing my wife so close to my ever annoying brother, my mind weaved to so many possibilities that having Boma here at home and so close to her first love, wouldn't be a good idea.( Walking towards the garden)
Now reading as Boma HartA while longer, I anxiously waited for Brandon in the room, he finally entered, and with my presence, he frowned and walked into the restroom."Ugh!! What's going on?". I spoke to myself, still waiting for his return and when he did, he kept up the silent treatment, walked passed and tucked himself in bed.I wonder what Scott might have said to him?". That's my subconscious talking, as I went to bed.( Next morning)A knock on the door gained our notoriety to it, Brandon steps down from the bed to see his mom standing outside his room door, the moment he opened it."Mom!! Good morning?". He says, she forcefully stepped in while I continued sleeping, and the next minute, a hand dragged me up donning a huge smile."Oh my gosh!! Good morning mom?" A shocked look drops on, in return she said, "good morning love, and p
Subsequently, the whole family left to the living room, the same time yulan strolled down and left after excusing herself, "where's she going to?". I asked myself, somehow Scott noticed the curiosity on my gaze and without hesitation, he went after her.Brandon also got to see how interested I was looking at Scott talking with his wife, he gets my eyes away and said." boma!! Why are you staring at my brother talking with his wife?".Indeed, I had no explanation for his question, luckily Mrs. Sophia walks in and dragged me away from her son and to herself."Ma'am?" I called.She kept a smiling face and placed a necklace in my hand."What's this?". I asked and got a reply from father in law.He says and I quote, "why're you asking!! Please take the necklace, if not there's someone else who would gladly accept it without fuss".( and by that, he meant Brandon's younger siste
Recap: hi, I'm Boma Hart and there are a few things you know or maybe forgot, my marriage to Brandon has been one heck of a drama series, it's either Yulan tries to get me killed or Maria Jose, Brandon sister does that or better still, Mrs. Miriam, Scott's mom.( Still at the room)Scott gave out how disappointed he was about Brandon's behavior, Mr. Damien and Mrs. Sophia, sent Maria Jose away and while they ought to talk with Brandon, he got so angered and stormed outside.They all exclaimed and I also was dumbfounded to see such a distasteful attitude from him."Please excuse me!!".I went in the same direction he did, hoping to talk to him, Mrs. Sophia and Mr. Damien left as well."Brandon!! Can we talk?".I worked his eyes to me the second I shut the doors behind."Why!! If you're here to talk about the same thing, please don't
You can say, this was perfectly planned by God himself; years ago I was not only thrown away but killed all because a certain someone doesn't accept my relationship with her son.And now, she wants the same person, under a fake name and to get into a relationship with him.Once again, is this ironically fun?.While they both waited to hear my response, Luca walks in and to my surprise, affirmed to the proposal.Once again dad and Mrs Mathilda in a head count turned to hear my response, and trust me, now that Luca is on it to get married, who I'm I to say no?.I'll gladly get married to him and get my revenge for what happened years ago.."I also accept father?".Happy was the look on their faces, Mrs Mathilda rushed over and hugged me, her smell felt like it was chocking, no matter how much I'll love to rub the middle finger up in her face, it's best to calm d
Five years later?."Sophie?".Dad calls.I ran down trying to pack my hair up, that when I stumbled on a man sited next to him.The man had the most charming smile and come to think of it, he look kinda familiar.A woman walks in, I hosted my head up and the second our eyes met, I almost dropped down unconscious.Dad noticed and ran to me."Dear? Are you okay?".Telling on I wasn't sure, would be like I know something and was keeping it from him.She's Mrs. Mathilda and his Luca?".Memories of the past came flooding back, to a point I ended up falling into an unconscious state.A while longer than expected, I gasped out in a displeasing way."Are you okay?".A masculine voice lets out from behind.Veering to see who it was, dad walked in and seized back my attention over to him."Oh it's good, you
The following morning, I saw still seated at the entrance to the mansion, when a car drove past me.For a distance, I took notice of Luca inside, he walks out of the car and at the sight of Mrs. Matilda not being anywhere close to him.My feet took a fast pace."Luca?".He stopped following the sound of someone calling out his name.Luca puts up a question, " I'm sorry, who are you?".My feet revamped a step backward. I must have forgotten that he doesn't recall, who I am.Hence while trying to find my words, a hand pulled me back, inferring the same person I tried so hard not to come across with."Tell me!!! What are you doing here?".Her voice deemed the minute her eyes ran through Luca. Mrs. Matilda smiles and with an aggressive posture got my hands lucked with her." baby!! Why don't you go up to your room and I'll come to see you".&
FORGET ME NOT( Dramatic entry into the city hospital)I ran in and met everyone seated with a sad look, they hoisted up their head and found in their midst."Where is Luca?".I asked the reason behind my coming.They all pretended not to hear me and at the sound of the emergency room opening, a man wearing a lab coat walks in.Mrs. Mathilda walks in and asked."Doctor!! Is my son okay?".The doctor disapproved of her question and answered, "no, I'm sorry but Luca doesn't recall some part of his life."What part?", I joined into the conversation, only to get drawn back by the shocking news, he doesn't recall my marriage to him.It seems my memories were the only thing, Luca couldn't remember, urgh!! Can life be any wicked?The doctor seemed to be needed elsewhere, he left, and at the sound of his footsteps fading away,
The next morning.I went to work.On my way there I decided to stop at boma's grave.With everything going on, i haven't been able to speak with her.My car makes a quick stop, I rode outside and swifly made my way in.I walked past the other graves, and on reaching there, I met Juila there.What's she doing that boma's grave.I hid behind a tree, I peeked at her and watched her place a flower at the grave.Maybe she knows Boma? Or perhaps there a link between her and Boma.I need to break the ice no matter what?.TO BE CONTINUED
Julia left in a haste, she got into a taxi not even saying goodbye.Is it just me or is she acting strange?Mom came outside."Son?" She called.I turned around, "yes mom, what's going on?".I had no idea why mom was here, I just hope she isn't here to curse Juila.She never fails to not do that.Please tell me? Is that not Boma here because I've got this feeling that Julia and Boma are two of the same person?". She added.I'm guessing, I wasn't the only one that thinks so, although at first, I didn't have such a feeling, I think mom's kind of right.But I'll have to investigate first
She held her mouth in astonishment.I took a step backwards and without altering Left holding unto Julia.We walked outside the house and I left her hands alone. I rode close to my car and placed my head on it.Mom's slapped was still Itching and I couldn't help but scratch the affected place."Scott, are you okay?"Juila placed her hands on my shoulders, I turned, "yes, I am," I said.She smiles and withdrew from me.I saw the distance she maintained and smirked.What's going on with her.Is Juila feeling okay?. Why did she withdrew from me?.
She sat at the exact seat meant for Julia, mom was indirectly looking for trouble.Julia sat at the next available seat.I smiled with her and she did the same, giving me a warm smile.We all ate quietly.Julia walked to the exit and on her way out, mom yelled."Don't pretend with us Boma, I know it's you!".I turned and gazed at her.Julia turned and saw the look on her countenance."What are talking about ma'am," she says.Mom walked up to her with speed, she raised her hands and while aiming to do the only thing she knows how to do best, I step between and got hit instead of her.
Everyone all sat and ate quietly.It was quiet but not until mom walked out of her room.She rolled down and met us talking at the dining room table."What's going on here,"I turned seeing her standing behind me.She stood at the same spot, refusing to leave.Julia stepped up to bring her inShe takes her hands out but as usual, mom shoved them and walked at her own pace.Ironic.Mom has never once acted well with Boma, and now that her lookalike is here, I'm guessing the same drama is set to continue.My mom isn't going to change.She hasn't changed before and I don't think she's gonna change now
