Here I thought I was going to have a nice time today but that is never going to happen. I was between two guys who are making me so annoyed. First, it was Seth who lied about fathering my child, and now Ace who thinks he is the perfect guy ever. I was so annoyed that I was ready to snap at each one of them if they mess me up.I got up. Amelia was still with Seth as he plays with her. She was liking him already. It's so nice to see here behave so well in the mix of people. Here I thought she would be scared to see faces she wasn't used to. The green eye guy asked Seth to give her to him which he did. Amelia was nice to them. She didn't cry at all. I smiled at that." She seems nice to all the guys " Seth winked " She must be a guy lady as her mother here "I was so sure Ace heard it cos I felt him tense beside me. I smiled to myself but then remember that I was still angry at Seth. I glared at him. Don't you dare talk to me, I wanted to say to him but decided against it "Are you angry
We all had fun while eating. They were so nice to me and I didn't feel out of place at all. I wouldn't mind having another dinner with them. They are the kind of friends I need. I got no time for bad energy.Amelia was falling asleep. I held her to my body comfortably to sleep peacefully. She seem to enjoy the dinner just as much as I enjoyed it. She is going to have a nice night's rest, I bet. I chuckled at my silly thought." what's funny ?" Seth asked I shook my head at him "It's nothing "" of course it's something. You can't stop smiling like that " He told me" you are so nosy for a guy " I chuckled "You don't need to know everything" He shook his head "You are my woman, I need to know everything about you " He winked Ace cleared his throat " You two are so annoying " he said out of the blue " you don't get to put your mouth in things that don't concern you," Seth said out of annoyance Why does he always put his nose where it didn't need?" you guys need to get a room"" wh
Seth took his time to take in all I said to him. He rocks Amelia as she sleeps deeply. I couldn't believe I shared all that with him. I thought this would only stay between me and my friends but at some point, I just felt someone who isn't that close to me will also make me feel much better " you aren't Saying anything, " I told him with nervousness in my voice Seth chuckled" I just can't imagine what you went through. You seem to have gone through a lot and you still held yourself up high. I respect the fact that you did all things possible to be good for yourself and your daughter. You are doing a great job, I must admit "I smiled glad that he praised me. I thought he would judge me or even insult me for getting pregnant just like that." I won't judge you for getting pregnant out of wedlock. This little angel is a blessing to you and me too" He laughed when he saw my expression after saying to him too "Trust me. I had no idea that I'm good with kids. I don't like carrying them
I walked into the office and was confused to see everyone going helter-skelter. I was worried that maybe something bad had happened. The workers were busy running around.I got a hold of a lady "What's going on?" I asked holding her hand to stop her from walking away She gave me a look like I got two heads "You haven't heard ?"I was confused "Heard what ?"" The boss is receiving visitors from overseas," she said and then look around to see if someone was coming. She saw no one and then whispered " I heard that they are is adoptive family " She said I was even more confused " Adopt? How ?"She gave me a look " That is all I can tell you. I need to be fast with work before I lose it "But why would that affect our work for today? It's not like they were gods or something. Why does his family's coming mean so much? They can need somewhere else and not in the office so why meet at the office?I have so many questions to ask but no one to answer them. I made my way to the elevator. I w
ACEWhat did I just do? I can't believe I said those hurtful words to her. What the heck is wrong with me? I groaned out. I didn't know when I said those hateful words to her. I shouldn't have gone that far. No one will be happy to be called a disgrace. I feel so stupid right now.I should have stopped her from going but it was too late. I was consumed with jealousy that I didn't realize those words were going to come from my mouth. I feel so ashamed of myself.I punch into the wall multiple times. I felt satisfied when I saw the blood stain on my knuckles. I felt some kind of numbness around my knuckles. It feels so satisfying to feel that kind of pain. I need to feel more pain. I need it so badly. I feel so ashamed. I was aware that I was going to have some visitors. My family. They should deal with it. I'd already told them to go home instead but they insisted on coming to the company. When they see that I'm not around they will go home as I suggested earlier.I picked up my suit
I was drained. I can't believe anyone can hurt me as much as he did. I have never felt this kind of pain in my life. I didn't feel this pain when Dad disowned me, when I found out my mom was a prostitute, or when I was maltreated by my stepmom. Why does Ace doing this to me hurt so much? It felt like my chest will come off my chest. I held unto my chest so hard. I cried out my eyes. I felt so betrayed by him. He used me and dump me in the uglies way.I felt so dirty getting myself entangled with him. I should have known better than to get myself involve with him for the second time. I thought he was different but the truth was he was worse than the others.I kept on walking. I couldn't get myself to take a cab. I felt like I was suffocating and the only option was to take a walk. That alone can help me clear my head. I can't go back home looking like this. I don't want to worry Susan. I also don't want to diatribe my friends. They've done so much for me. I have only one person in min
I put a smile on my face ready for the day. I needed this new me so badly. Susan brought to my notice that we need to go shopping. Most of the time, she does the shopping but today I surprised her by going myself. I know she had lots of questions to ask but didn't want to be too fast about it.She knew how seriously I take my work and seeing me at home only rise some suspicion for her. She came to stand beside me, holding Amelia. Amelia jumped trying to get me to carry her. I giggled and carried her." you won't let mummy leave alone ?" I asked her" she seems to miss having you around, " Susan told me with a small smileI felt bad that I was too preoccupied with work. The only time I get to spend with her is at the night and already she is asleep. I kissed her chubby cheek. She was begging to grow some teeth."Mummy will always be around any time you need her. " I assured her" what about work? Won't you get penalized for not going to work today ?" Susan asked out of the blue " I kno
ACE I wonder what is taking Aunty so long to be back. She told me she need to hear something from her friend's store and she is here to come back. Her boyfriend must be with her I guess. I rolled my eyes at the fact that she has a boyfriend at her age.I finished the whiskey in my hand. I have been upstairs since I woke up. I didn't have the strength to go to the office today and coupled with the fact that I have visitors, I needed to stay back.I had already showered and taken some breakfast but that would be three hours ago. I got out of the room and trotted downstairs. The sitting room was filled up with lots of them.I still don't get why they are here. I hate that I have lots of people in my house. " Look who finally graced us in his presence," said my mom's sister She has a lot of resemblances with my mom. They share some features. I rolled my eyes at them all. They laughed. They were already used to this side of mine " Heard that you are getting married ?" Her husband aske
I held my phone while I stared at Ace's number. The number was staring at me waiting for me to call him but I couldn't. I didn't know how to tell him to come over to see me .on another thought, I don't think it's a best idea to invite him over. I wouldn't want what happened the last time to happen again. I can't bear that. I can't repeat the same mistakes all the time, never.Mrs. Clara took Amelia home with her. She promises to take good care of her since I have a meeting with Ace. That woman has been so supportive of me. She makes things easier for me and I like that she is trying to fill that space she missed since I was young. Dad is aware that she is in town and he hasn't said anything about it. He hasn't come to check on me. I shook my head, why would I think he'd care to come to talk to her. I don't know why he has to be my father. There are lots of good men out there and nothing like Dad. I don't know why I was blessed with a father like him.If only Mom had nothing to do wit
I went ahead to pick up my daughter from her daycare. Her face looks so soaked with tears. The nanny told me that she had been tearing up since I dropped her. I wonder what the problem could be. I kissed her cheeks and said, "What happened to you?" She stared at me with her wet cheeks. Her face was all red from the tears "Sweetheart, what happened? Mom is here for you "I tried playing with her but all efforts were in vain. I tried all I could to cheer her up but she ended up staring at me like I was acting stupid so I gave up. I need help. The only person I could think about right now was Mrs. Clara. My mother. I need to give her a call. I need help to understand what my daughter is going through. I called her number and she picked up on the first call. " Please I need your help," I said through the phone " ok. I'll be right there with you " she said and ended the call.I sent her my address. I was heading to the park. I hope Amelia will be happy when she sees other kids just like
What Bella told me kept ringing in my head. She insisted that I tell him about Amelia. I don't know how to do it or what way to approach him. It's been two years now since the event that led to Amelia and this is taking a toll on me. If it's left to me, I don't want him to know. His knowing only means that I was welcoming trouble into my life. I dropped Amelia off at the daycare and made my way to my office. Seth hadn't called to talk to me yet. He didn't even call to ask why I didn't come to work and I felt too angry to send a message. I walk into the office like I did nothing wrong. The office was all staring. I wonder why they were whispering something at each other. I rolled my eyes and don't want to hear any of the gossip. It's nothing good. I was so sure about that.I went to my office and saw piles of work waiting for me. That was one thing with this place. When you are not around your work will keep piling up until you get back to do it. No one was going to help. It's the rul
AllysonI woke up from sleep only to realize that a man's arm was wrapped around my waist. I was startled at first not until I remembered what happened yesterday. I was so stupid. I pushed his arms off me. What have I done?I got out of bed all confused. Ace groaned but got up. He sat on the bed and said "Why did you hit me in the face ?"I was naked! I can't believe I allow this to go far .!I wasn't drunk when this happened. I was so stupid. I was confused and filled with lots of feelings. I went with my heart even before my head could process what was happening. "What happened?" I asked still shaken up. I was so confused and didn't know what I want or what to do" What happened last night ?" I felt like a lunatic asking those questions. I knew the answer to it but I still asked.He gave me a look " Is this some form of a joke or what? What are you trying to say? "" I don't know how ...what the hell!" I wrapped the blanket around me. I was so scared of what we did. I'm an adult but
AceI was so annoyed right now. Why would Aunt forgive him too soon after what he did? I punch the wall before me and scream out of annoyance. He has done more harm than good. He lives with his family happily and doesn't care about others. He hurt my aunt and he hurt the woman I love. He hurt Allyson. That is the worse thing ever. I want him down. I want to ruin him. I want to cripple him to nothing. I dashed out of my room. I need some air. Aunt must be in her room crying as she always does. She still thinks about him and the worse thing he did to her but she doesn't want to punish him. He's so not the best man in the universe. I'm glad she didn't end up with a man like that. He is a loser and that is what he will always be. I got into my car and drove off. I need to see Allyson. I need to talk to her. I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand not seeing her. I am about to get married to her sister and here I was going to see her. This is not right. I need to choose right. I need to
I sat down feeling confused. I don't even know what to think. Mom came out from the kitchen holding a cup of coffee. I took it gratefully. I took a sip and felt pleasured when the hot water hit my tongue. I don't know what would have happened if only he stayed behind. Amelia held on tight to Mom's clothes, she doesn't want to leave her. She likes her I guess." how do you feel now ?" Mom asked I nodded " I feel much better "" I knew coffee would do lots of wonders," she said with a smile and I knew it was her way of lightening the atmosphere. I like that she is trying all possible best to make me feel welcome." you are not gonna ask me anything ?" I asked cocking a brow She smiled " I don't want to rush things "" Thanks " I was glad We sat in silence for about a few minutes. Amelia started to cry. She was tired of sitting, she wants to play around." she wants to play. She gets tired when she is sitting all the time " I told her and she was surprised " She walks ?" " yes she
Work was so hectic. I never expected it to be this hard. Of course, I don't work with Seth. I work with his management. I didn't want to be in the same department as him so people won't start to say things they are not meant to say. I want to focus on what actually brought me here and nothing else.I was learning too much in just one day and I don't want to complain. I don't want to look like an ingrate. I should be thankful I have a job with good pay. I was in my office when I saw a reminder text from my mother, Mrs. Clara. She was reminding me about lunch today.Is it me or does it look strange that Diane hasn't called me since the incident? I thought she would at least call to hear my part but she didn't. Of course, I don't expect her to be happy that I insulted her mother but I would have at least wished she called to know what was going on. Is she mad at me or has her mother poisoned her mind as always?What a shame if she goes back to her old self. It will be such a loss for her
Mrs. Clara stayed for lunch. I didn't have it in mind to send her away after the long conversation we had. I served her some Chinese rice and shredded beef. I guess we share the same favorites. I love anything Chinese and the same her.She told me a lot about herself. It was entertaining hearing her speak. She told me she has a boyfriend and I told her I can't wait to meet him. She was excited. Loving the fact that I was giving her a second chance to patch things up." I have a godson and you two will get along. I'm sure of that " she said then took a spoon of her riceI smiled a little " I can't wait to meet him " She cheered "Can I come and pick you up tomorrow? I want you to meet my friends and my godson. They are the only ones I called my family " I was reluctant. I'm not good at meeting new people but she kept insisting " of fine "She squealed. She was so excited. Her smile was contagious, I surprised myself by smiling too. She is just too good with people and I love her energ
I was dancing to the tune of the music. It was an old one-direction song. I love their song so much. It gives me the energy I need to keep moving. I was so happy today and I don't know why though. I thought it was the fact that I now have a job. I haven't started yet but tomorrow will be my first time at work. Seth told me to use today to prepare myself and I was so grateful for that. I was swirling around like a ballerina. I was funny as hell. I look so stupid dancing this way. But who cares? I don't care. I just want to be happy and that is exactly what I'm going to keep doing. I heard a knock but thought it was from the other apartment. This time around the person knocked harder. I wasn't expecting anyone. Susan and I already have a conversation this morning that she should take a break from this job and she understood and took my advice. It's good for her and her daughter.I went to get the door. I saw a strange lady by the door. She has a smile on her face. I have seen this fac
