It was time to get off work, Velma finished her work earlier. She did not want to work overtime as she missed her son.
She had just taken her handbag when her phone rang.
"Hello, what's up?" Velma asked over the phone.
"Are you done with work?" Albert asked.
"Yes. I was just leaving."
"Don't leave yet, I need to take you somewhere." Albert said.
Raymond had mysteriously called him and told him go with Velma at Kingston hotel. It was one of the best hotels in the city and it was under Gulf Financial Group.
He did not know what his brother had planned, but he did not want to let him down, so he could only agree reluctantly.
"Where?" Velma asked.
"I have no idea. It was Raymond who called me and told me that I have to take you there, I have no idea what he is planning." Albert said.
Hearing that it was the playful Raymond, Velma knew that it was nothing good.
But since Albert had personally c
Velma left the room with the help of her friend. If by now she did not know what was going, she will really be a fool.The moment they stepped out of the room, the door to the opposite room was also flung open.Albert came out looking stunning in his suit.Velma happened to look in that direction and their eyes locked. Albert could not hide the surprised look on his face.Velma too was shocked. She has always known that Albert was stunning, but seeing him dressed smartly in a different colour from his usual black, she had no words to describe his beauty.Seeing that two were looking at each other and even forgot about them, Raymond and Brenda shared a gaze before drifting away slowly. They could only act as backdrops for the loving couples.The public display in the air was too suffocating, their single hearts could not take it.But they were happy because their efforts seemed to pay off.Albert did not even notice that his bro
After a scrumptious and romantic dinner, Albert and Velma left. They could not stay at the hotel since they needed to see their son.When they reached home, Velma flanged herself on the sofa in an exhaustion.Although she did nothing the whole time other than dancing and eatinge, she was mentally tired.Her emotions were on a roller coaster the whole evening and her mind was tired.She could not believe that Albert was now her boyfriend. Dylan now had a half complete family, once they got married, he will have a complete family.Marriage! When that word crossed Velma's mind, she was suddenly shocked. Why would she think about marriage when they have only gotten together.She shook her head to remove that weird thought from her mind."What are you thinking about?" Albert's voice was seductive, Velma turned her head to look at him and could not help but swallow a lump of saliva that had unknowingly clumped at her throat."H
The following morning, Velma slept until she woke up natural. This was probably the best she has slept ever since she got pregnant. Seeing the strong arms still pressed around her waist tightly, Velma smiled. She moved her head to stare at the man who was sleeping peacefully. His features were gentle in his sleep. He looked very peaceful and easy going. It could not be compared with his tyrannical nature when he was awake. Velma appreciated his looks some more before she moved away. She tried prying the strong arms around her waist but the man did not move. His arms were wrapped around her like a glue. Velma did not want to wake him up as he was sleeping very soundly. But she really needed to use the washroom. She tapped at him lightly. "Hey you..." Albert was startled awake. He was momentarily dazed before coming back to his senses. Remembering that he was not a single man anymore, he smiled before pu
In the study room, Raymond wore a gossipy expression as he looked at his brother. "Bro can you say something? How was it?" Raymond asked. Albert looked at him like he was looking at the biggest idiot. "What do you want?" Albert asked. "Details!" Raymond said shamelessly. "Of what, exactly?" Albert asked, giving his brother a dirty look. Raymond felt embarrassed, but thinking about the gossip he wanted to know, he reigned in his embarrassment and thickened his skin. "How was your night brother? You left in a hurry before we could even say goodbye. I thought that you will be spending the night at the hotel." Raymond. Albert only looked at him coolly, his expression still indifferent. "My night was very nice, thanks to you." Albert said. "So you did that..." "Did what?" "Ooh nothing... hehe... I understand don't worry no one will know." "Know what?" Albert asked with rais
"Uncle, when did you come back?" Velma asked as she poured them warm water."Some two weeks ago. I have been busy with some matters, I did not get time to visit you uncle is sorry." Alfred said.After learning everything that happened to Velma, Alfred only felt heartache and pity for her. He has really restrained himself from looking for Martin to give him a good beating."It is okay. I'm the unfilial one. I didn't even call uncle to say hi." Velma said, feeling touched at what Alfred had said."It is okay child, you have been through a lot and uncle was not there for you. Uncle will make it up to you." Alfred said."As long as uncle doesn't blame, everything else is fine." Velma said.Alfred immediately knew what Velma was talking about and smiled at her gently with fatherly love in his eyes."Why should I blame you. Somethings are just beyond our control. If we knew what will happen, wouldn't we be God?" Alfred said."Can I s
When you spend your days in a good mood and with your loved ones, time surely flies...It was Monday and Velma's perfect weekend came to an end.She opened her groggy eyes, not wanting to remove the warm duvet from her body.Seeing her lazy posture, Albert laughed and pinched her cute face without much force."Don't want to wake up?""Yes." Velma nodded without hesitation. She did not want to wake up at all. She just wanted to sleep until forever."Then sleep some more." Albert said."What about work?" Velma said."I can help you ask for a leave." Albert said with a smile."From whom yet you are the big boss.""From me of course. But that depends on how well you please me." Albert smirked. His words carrying a deeper meaning that it took Velma a while to connect the dots.Having just woken up, her mind was dazed and her reaction was slow.But his words instantly woke her up and Velma was
It was already a day to Christmas before anyone knew it. The festive mood was every where in the air.Albert had already come back and they had even gone shopping with Velma.His parents had already know about Velma and the baby and his mother, Helen was especially elated when she heard that she was already a grandma.She came over to Karen residence almost everyday to see Dylan.Julius had also softened his attitude after he met with Alfred. He was not as prejudiced as he had been. And after learning of what happened to Velma, he completely stopped making things difficult for her.He was even more thrilled when he heard that he was already a grandfather and immediately stopped arranging blind dates for Albert.Although Velma was had already met them, she was still nervous about going over tomorrow.It was the first time she was going to Albert's house as his girlfriend. She did not know what presents to get for the elders.
Albert sat in the car and waited patiently. Velma had already told him everything that happened to her mother and her suspicion. He promised to start his investigation after the new year. At the cemetery, the father and daughter pair stood facing each other. No one broke the silence even after a long period of time has passed. "What happened that day..." Martin broke the silence. "There is no need to explain. You made your choice back then and I respect that." Velma cut him off coldly. "You could have at least stayed and said something. Not only did you leave me in the hospital with nothing, you did not care even if I died or lived." "I had only given birth some few hours earlier. I was too weak to even walk. Not only did you not settle the bill, but also disappeared." "Do you know if not for Albert, I will be long dead together with my baby. He saved me and took me in without asking anything or without wanting something in return."
Alvin looked at the black and white lines on the paper. Although he understood every letter and word on it, but he could for some unknown reasons not understand what it was talking about. He could not believe what he was seeing. His face was as white as snow. Even the hand that was holding the document trembled slightly. Velma was standing there, looking at them coldly. She had never forgotten the humiliation she suffered when she went to explain things to Alvin, only to find out that he was dating her worst enemy. Be it not for Albert being by her side, she would have done something terrible. Alvin looked at Winnie, his eyes and aura cold. Winnie trembled. She knew that she was done for. There was nothing she could do. She looked at Velma with bitterness. How she wished for her to die. She wondered why that person did not just finish her off. Alfred had also seen the papers and his expression was even worse.
"What really happened? All I remember was that I was drinking tea with some man who seemed to know a lot about my mom, but everything else after that is a blur." Velma said, trying to, as hard as she could to remember exactly what happened.But all she got was a splitting headache."Don't think about it baby. Everything else is okay. Don't worry about it. What matters is that you are fine and well." Albert consoled as he patted her on back."Well..." Velma did not know what to say."Where is my son? How is he?" She asked nervously when she remembered that her son was taken away from her."He is alright. He is with mom.""I have a surprise for you." Albert said as he smiled mysteriously."What surprise?""Just a moment."Albert tapped on his phone screen a few times and the ward door was pushed open from the outside.Velma looked at the door wondering what the surprise was.Then, a woman wi
Seeing that the man was dead, Christine breathed a long sigh of relief. Now everything was over. Albert fired a shot at the door and pushed it open. He rushed in. It was dark he had to use a his phone's flash light. He find Velma lying unconscious on the floor and immediately rushed to carry her up. Albert rushed out at a lightning speed when he felt that her pulse was faint. At a private hospital under Gulf, Albert was fidgeting nervously as he watched the emergency room. He did not know what he will do if Velma will not make it. Christine had also rushed to the hospital. She had not seen her daughter for a very long time and had not imagined that their first meeting will be like this. She watched Albert as he walked back and forth nervously. "Hey, can you relax, Velma will definitely be alright." Christine said. Albert looked at the woman who looked exactly like Velma and nodded his head. He now understand
By the time Albert landed in the city, one hour had already passed. He did not know how Velma was doing and he was worried sick.He had mobilezed all of his men and they were on the standby.The moment he landed, his phone rang. He had switched it off whole he was in the plane and had only powered it on.He did not know the caller and quickly picked up the phone.He thought that he might be the person who took Velma."Hello.""Albert, thank God if found you. I'm Christine, Velma's mom." A female voice came over the phone.Albert was shocked for a moment before he came back to his senses."Aunt..." He called out."Where are you now?"I just landed. I'm at the airport now.""Have you heard about Velma?""Yes, just is why I especially came back. Does aunt know anything?" Albert asked. He sense that he would not came him if she did not have anything to say."Yes, I never imagined
Tom had changed their base. Although Christine did not ask anything and obediently followed, she knew that it must be Albert's doing because she had not heard any negative news concerning her daughter. Tom had tried to find out how Albert managed to discover his identity but he was not successful. He could live as frustration thinking that there was someone better than him. *** Today was a Saturday and Dylan wanted to go to the museum, although Albert was out of town for business, Velma decided to have fun with her son. Albert had arranged a lot of men to protect her so she knew that she will be safe. She also called Brenda and Nana who readily agreed. As they were having fun, a commotion occurred at the museum pack. There was a gunshot. People started to panic as they moved in different directions, shouting and screaming in fear. Velma was also startled, held her son in her arms and started to run aimlessly. Soon, she had parted from
The news about Velma's video had been taken down and no was talking about it. It was as if it never happened and people marvelled at how powerful the Bill family was. Most of them had been waiting to laugh at Velma after she was thrown out of the family, but they disappointed. At exactly 7AM, Albert's phone rung. I was the same unknown number calling. His lips curled into a smile as he picked up the call. "Hello.." "Hello Mr Albert, I hope you have been great for the past three years." Tom said over the phone. "Of course Mr Tom West, I have been doing great." Albert said, without hiding the fact that he knew the man's identity. Tom's heart almost stopped. How the hell did Albert find out about his identity. He was well hidden and only few people knew of his identity. But his shock did not last for long. "Hehee Mr. Albert, what are you talking about?" Who is Tom West." Tom feigned ignorance but in reality, his heart
Velma was still in disbelief. How could there be such a maniac. She don't remember offending anyone. Why would someone hate her so much? Albert looked at her and embraced her tightly. "What are we going to do?" Velma asked with a trembling voice. She was not ready to lose the love of her life. "We are if course going to be together." Albert said and gave her a reassuring kiss. "But..." Velma tried to say something. Albert blocked her words as he captured her lips. "No buts. Just trust me okay." Albert said. "Okay." "Now go to rest, I still have things to take care of." Albert said as he tucked her in the blanket. "Then can you tell then to bring my son, I what to sleep with him." "Okay." Albert said and left the room. He told aunt Mary to take Dylan to his room before he went to his study room. Although this was his family home, he had his own study room just opposite his bedroom.
Since it was a child's birthday, there was not a lot of speeches. Dylan was taken to be shown to the guests and after cutting the cake, he was taken back to his room since he was already asleep. To entertain the guests, the Bill family had prepared short videos if Dylan when he was growing up. Everyone marvelled at how cute he was even when he was still an infant. "Wow, that child will be a killer once he grows up. He took all his mother's and father's good points." Everyone was amazed. But suddenly, the screen change. The videos of a toddler were replaced by videos of two people doing the unthinkable act that could make one heart race. The sound coming from the video made people to cover their ears. "What is going on? Why would someone play such a video?" "This is too embarrassing. We still have children around." Suddenly a woman's face was shown on the screen. It was breathtaking and the person who was fil
Today marked one year since baby Dylan was born. Everyone was excited since it marked the beginning of a new life in Bill's family. The preparations were ongoing since morning. Although Velma wanted a small party for her baby, Julius did not accept that as he had a lot of friends he wanted to invite. He had also forced Velma and Albert to get a marriage certificate and they were now a married couple although they were yet to hold a wedding. Dylan was a little genius and by now he could utter complete sentence. Everyone loved him and doted on him. Especially the Bill's, they spoiled him more than they had spoiled Nana. Nana and Velma were now friends and they could sometimes go shopping together. "How do you feel now that your son is turning a year older?" Brenda asked her friend as she applied make up on her. They were currently at Bill's Manor where the celebration will be taking place. "I feel like an old granny
