Alex.As she took her leave , I turn back and look at her as she took to her heels and I felt bad. I hate that i had to always unleash my anger on her each time issues about my deafness come up but do I have a blame each time I get angry? If I had chased her out that night , I wouldn’t have been hurt but she left me , she got me worried and made me end up being deaf, I am the one in the situation, I am the one that has to read lips to ear, I can’t even hear my daughter laugh or cry, I have to try to make some senses out of some things and this is how it is going to be for the rest of my life. I wasn’t planning just my life but us.I try to shut my mind out of those foolish thought and thought of accepting the woman I thought I will never love and ended up falling in love with.I knew I can’t just stay here thinking of the past, I to stop her from crying, I hate to see her cry. I walked back to her room but the door was shut. I place my hand in the doorknob, I try to open the door but
SOPHIE.After our sex, he picked me up and took me to the bathroom, he bath me and tuck me under the duvet because I was exhausted already. When he tucked me in bed, I thought he was going to return to his room but he got into bed with me , he later beside me facing me, I was going to protest , he wrapped his hand around my waist, he tightened his hand around me. “ I just want to hold you to sleep” he said. I was going to speak again , he just place his finger on my lips. “ Ssshhhh” he said.I kept quiet and raise my head and place it on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, I didn’t know when we drifted into sleep.The following morning.I could feel the sun peeping through the window, I open my eyes, I got out of bed and walk to the bathroom, wash my teeth then I walk out of the room, as I climb the stairs , I could the voices of my daughter chattering. KAIRA.Jeff had just left for work while the children had been taken to school by the driver and their nanny, I was busy checking
SOPHIE.When I woke up, I went to Alessa’s room, she wasn’t there, I knew she must be with her dad, I climbed down the stairs to the living room, I paused when I saw my daughter trying not to hold things to stand on her feet, she was beginning to stand on her own even though she can’t even stand for long. Allessa didn’t realize I was behind her, I didn’t want to distract her , I just want to watch from behind. She fell to the ground and try to stand on her own blabbling like she always do, then she try to stand up again then it got difficult.“ Come on Allessa, you can do it” I said. Hearing my voice she was going to turn back to look at me then she fell on her butt again.I laugh , her dad also laughed then I walked to her wanting to help but she refused and wanted to stand on her feet again. “That is Allessa she doesn’t give up except she achieve what she wants” i said to her dad.I look back to Alex and he was drying his tears, our eyes met and I asked, “ Are you okay? He nodded wi
STEPHANIE.I could hear sobs as I try to open my eyes , Slowly I open my eyes at first my eyes was blur and later it became clear, I look up to the ceiling, I began to wonder where I was , I try to list my hand and I felt pain . Then I heard my mom call out my name.“Steph? Honey? Are you okay? She said and tears dripped down her face at the same time.“Whe.....e...re am I? I asked.“ You got into an accident , I am glad you are awake “ my mom said to me. She places her hand on my head, she caresses my hair and cry.“ Mom, I am awake, I am not dead, I am alive except for my body and I believe I will get better” I said.She nodded but I could see she wasn’t happy, I began to wonder why she keep crying.She gave me a smile with tears but I knew something was off about her. The nurse came in and check on me.JEFF.I was trying to check through some projects that we need to finish in the next thirty days , my cellphone buzzes , I checked the screen of my cellphone and it was grand dad. I
ALEX.I have never seen Sophie go so mad at me like she did today, I knew I had pushed her to her limit that is why she yelled at me today. I should have stick to my apologies and have the discussions later. I feel so sorry deep down of me but now she doesn’t think I am apologizing deep down from my heart. Despite her anger she’d apologize but i never apologized, I never asked her what she had gone through or been through in the last eight months when I knew she had nothing in her, I kept blaming her. It’s true I had put her through so much since our marriage , I was suppose to make it work now but I kept making it hard.I walk to my cousin pretending all is well between us. We had some few discussions, we talked about Alessa, then Sophie stood up.“ Excuse me , I need to check on Alessa, she should be up by now” she said and leave, I also excuse myself to follow her.I climb the stairs in a haste, I stood at the doorstep while she pick up Alessa from her cradle, she raise her up and
I stood up and quickly go to my office to prepare her employment letter because I can’t let her go out there and start stressing herself for little money for the money I can afford to pay for her and if she work with someone else she could meet someone else , I don’t want her to meet someone else that will make her feel loved, I want to make this work now and the only way to make her believe that I love her is to keep her around me.“ I should have try to do the needful rather than always blaming her”.I prepared the employee’s letter and send it to her mail box.JEFF.I keep checking the time and it was almost twenty eight minutes past four, I had nothing much to do at the office so I decided to go and meet with grandpa.When I got to grandpa, he asked me to sit, he asked me about the company.“ We are working on some of our estate projects” I said.“ what about the cosmetics branch? Have you gotten someone to take the place of your ex wife in the company? He asked.“ For now , it ha
JEEF.I left my grand dad’s place feeling angry, I feel pissed up by trying to disrespect the woman I love so dearly. Yes it’s true that we pretend to be divorce but disrespect is the height of it. She did nothing, she never drag the family’s name in the mud, she even did the best to put the family on a world map, I feel pissed off that dad didn’t see that part of my wife doing her best to make the world recognize our products. Kaira is the best that has ever happen to me and the best that can ever happen to the company. She is my world and I will say this any where.My kids , I will never let anyone refer to them as bastards, they are not bastards but whoever had sent that Jamaal of a guy will pay dearly for causing this kind of commotion in my family. He will pay for the public humiliation of my wife and kids while I would not give grammar and dad the right to run my life and my family for me because I am his heir.My driver drove me home , my wife ran to me as I arrived the I felt
SOPHIE“Did you send this to my mail? I asked.“ Yes , I did” he said.I look back to the mail and with the huge amount I was going to get just working for him like a PA was cool enough but then I have my doubts if there isn’t any hidden condition for the huge sun of money for just a PA job. “ I don’t want this job” I said. “ I will go and search for a better job tomorrow” I said.“Please work for me Sophie” he said softly with a pleading face.“ The money is much, I hope there isn’t any hidden agenda attached to this salary? I asked.“ You have loose trust in me right? You no longer trust in me? He asked.“You knew I trust you but you never trust me? How can I trust someone who never trust me? I asked.“I am sorry that I made you feel like I don’t trust you, I ........... it’s fine, I cut him off.“ I will work for you” I said. “ When do I start working? He asked.“ Tomorrow” he replied and I took my leave.ALEX.I smile as she accepted to work for me then I became sad that I had ma
