Mr Gilbert dozes off on the sofa while watching football, the sound coming from the TV set increased in a second and he jolted off and rubbed his eyes. "What the hell is wrong with that guy?" He shouted pointing at the TV... "It is time to sleep, I need to get some rest." He added, he stood up and staggered to the stairs, he managed to get to his room. He knobbed down the handle and pushed the door, he got to the bed and saw his wife wasn't there. "Where could she be?." He asked no one in particular, he looked around the room and his eyes landed on her. She was on the balcony of the room. "What is she doing there?." He asked again. He wiped down his eyes and walked towards her. "Sweetheart, you should be on the bed having a great sleep by now so why are you here?." He asked, leaning on the steel welded round the balcony. "What Adam said was right, all I did was to defend Anthony over and over even if he did terrible things while I scolded others. I made him who he is now. I didn't
Adam brushed his hair to the side while facing the mirror, he has a cute smile on. "Why can't you just stop being cute? It makes me sick." Nancy scoffed, walking into the room fully. Adam turned to her with a smile."I can't stop being cute because I need girls to drool over me and I want to remain the hottest guy in school without giving anybody a chance to take my place, not even my friends." Adam snapped facing the mirror again."Why did you sound odd, you don't sound okay at all." She said observing his facial expression. "I don't want her to have a bad day, because of me so it is better I remain silent." He thought."I am fine, it is just that I woke up at the wrong side of the bed, so there is nothing to worry about." He replied, dropping his brush and checking himself out in the mirror."I wasn't worried at all, whatever, let's go have our breakfast, you always take time when dressing in the morning." She said, rolling her eyes."I have told you before, I want girls to drool
Adam and Nancy sat on their various seats gisting about random stuff, Adam checked his wrist watch. "It is a few minutes to 8 : 00 am and nobody is here by now, I wonder what's happening to everyone." Adam said boringly."Me too, maybe I should go knocking at their various doors, it is so annoying to be seated here doing nothing." Nancy scoffed."I won't stop you, make sure you drag them here on time, the time is running out." Adam complained, Nancy jumped down from her seat and ran towards the stairs, all of a sudden she bumped into a body."Ouch my stomach." Sonia groaned in pain, she held it in her hand. Nancy looked at her with puppy eyes."I am very sorry, I was too concentrated on where I was going." She apologized, Sonia smiled and hid her pains."It's okay, it was a mistake, where are you going?." She asked."I am going to call the others. Adam and I Adam have been waiting for ages for them to come downstairs but they didn't." She blurted out."That's why I am coming downstai
Adam was extremely late but it didn't bother him not until he received a text message, he brought out his phone and opened the message, it was from Edward."Where are you man, Professor Orchard is in the lecture room already." He read out."Oh no, I totally forgot we have his class today, I need to hurry to the lecture." He said walking faster.He got to the entrance and saw him jotting something on the plain white board... This is my opportunity to go in without getting noticed. He thought and started sneaking in. His friends turned to him and signaled for him to come in faster, he was an inch away from his friends seat when the professor turned."I am in great trouble, I pray he spares me." He prayed inwardly, he quickly bowed his head. All the student's attention was on both of them."Why are you just coming, Adam?." He asked with a serious face. He is the most feared professor in the school, he is very disciplined and strict. All the student's feared him except Lily."I am sorry S
Marissa sat on the bed beside Sonia, they are both in Sonia's room.Sonia just finished explaining everything to Marissa, she started from when Mr Gilbert said he should be their nanny."This is so pathetic, the offer is great but the stress and maltreatment will be too much." Marissa pitied."Yes, I have thought of that but I can't back out because it came with a threat.""That's bad but I don't blame you for their fight, they wanted to show the most powerful among themselves. Please make sure you don't disappoint Mr Gilbert because I know he has a reason for doing that.""Why did you say that?." Sonia asked knitting her brows together."You won't understand but do as I advised, I need to go now, I have a lot to do." Marissa said and stood up."Learn how to be a nanny for all." she added before walking out."Oops, I need to rest now before everybody comes back." She thought, she climbed to the upper part of the bed, then she laid....Adam left his friends and walked along the hall
Anthony came out of the conference room with a long face and his PA ran after him. "Sir, Mr Thompson wants to see you now." He informed, Anthony stopped walking and turned to him. "I will make sure I get you sacked if you don't tell him another day will be scheduled for the meeting." Anthony threatened, Asher became scared. "Okay boss, I will inform him about that. Should I cancel all the meetings you have for today?." Asher asked again, Anthony was getting furious already he felt like slapping him but he restricted himself and walked away. "What could have happened that made him cold towards me this morning?." Asher asked no one in particular but he was answered by someone. "Learn to mind your business or else you will be treated like other staff and you might be sacked also." Tracy stated, she walked closer to him and stood at his front, then she winked. "You are joking right? He would never do that to me because I have become part of him and this company. He is just angry and
The Gilberts were having a peaceful dinner, after a while, Mr Gilbert stood up, dragged out his seat and walked away while the others continued eating. They stood up one after the other until the dinning was empty. They all occupied sofas as each of them were busy with one thing or the other. Mr Gilbert looked at each of them with the corner of his eyes and saw they weren't ready for the discussion, so he held his peace and continued watching the football match, football has been his favorite thing for a long time and he is not ready to let go. Andrew was getting suffocated and over crowded due to the presence of everybody, then he stood up and adjusted his shirt. "Good night Dad and Mom." He greeted, the couple exchanged glances. "You can't go now, we need to discuss something as a family." Mr Gilbert spoke up. Andrew knitted his brows together, Anthony, Adam and Nancy expressed shock. "But Dad, you didn't inform us about it and you can't just set up a meeting all of a sudden."
Anthony was boiling in great anger as he couldn't help but to get more angry at Sonia."Aren't you ashamed of yourself? firstly you had my mom to treat you nicely, then Nancy and Adam and now it's my dad, are you tired of all this?. It will be better for you to get a job elsewhere if not you will regret ever coming to this house to work." He growled, Sonia was sad and heartbroken, she felt her heart ripping off."Why did he have to insult me that much all the time without any reason? It is not my fault that they like me. His words always hit me hard." She thought sadly, tears started flowing down her cheek. Anthony was happy that she was crying but he hasn't finished what he started yet and since no one spoke instead they just stared, he decided to continue."Hey, hey don't shed a crocodile's tears here because I am not going to buy it." He added with harshness in his tone, Mr Gilbert was getting sorry for her already."If you are not buying the crocodile tears then I will buy it." He
Ten years later. Sonia's pov I sat on the dressing chair, I stared into the mirror with a beam of smile. A lot of things have happened during the last few years. I would like to start with Nancy, she graduated from college a few years ago with a lot of honors and awards. There is no doubt that she is intelligent and brilliant. She is correctly the richest business woman in Switzerland, she would be the only young lady to attain that position. Everybody became proud of her. Adam and Andrew also graduated from the college, they established themselves without their father's money. Andrew got married three years ago and fathered a beautiful girl. Adam got married to Lily immediately they graduated from college, the preparation was in a rush but it was fun. They are blessed with twins and a boy. Mike was released from jail a week after our wedding because my father said so, sincerely speaking I didn't want him to be freed yet but I had to respect my dad's decision. He apologized for e
Grace raised her head and looked at them, she laughed at her stupid thought. "Amanda has her own life to live and I also have mine. She left me here without caring or trying to get me out of here." She thought again and faced Sonia. "I am going to accept this deal but make sure I get my money immediately when the work is done." "Don't worry everything is ready, you will get your money immediately you call her there." Sonia assured her with a smile, she knew Grace will accept the deal because Grace is a greedy type. "It is done, but firstly, I need to eat good food. I want you to buy clothes for me but I don't want Amanda to grow suspicious so you will do that later." Grace stated with joy. "That's not a problem, everything will be done as long as you do as we say." Sonia assured her and she nodded. Mr Gilbert smirked secretly at the success. Amanda sat on the sofa with a frown, Rika was beside her and Gladys was on her feet holding her phone with a frown too. "Do you mean the
Sonia and Anthony came out of the car as the door was widely opened by the security men. He walked to where Sonia was and grabbed her hand. The workers greeted them as they walked in.They got to the elevator and Anthony pressed down the button, Sonia went in first, then he followed."I think this is the right time to tell her." He thought and faced her."Babe, do you know where Lamarded Hospital is located at?." He asked, Sonia tilted her neck."Yes I do, how did you know the name of the hospital?." "I came across a doctor yesterday, then he told me about somethings which I would like to check out today before we go back." Anthony explained with a nervous smile. He prayed inwardly as he await her response."That's not a problem then, the driver will take you there, please don't take too long so that we can go faster." Sonia said and the door of the elevator opened. They both walked out and headed to her office.Anthony's driver parked the car properly in the hospital's garage. He ca
Sound of footsteps could be heard as Mr Gilbert descended down the stair case. He just left Andrew's room.His face wore a deep frown as what Andrew told him kept ringing in his memory."No that's not possible, I can't tell Sofia about what I do outside the country and I can't leave the family's business or else I and my family will suffer for it. She will surely get mad at me for hiding it from her for a very long time. What do I do now?." He thought.After climbing the stairs he found his way to the living room. He brought out his phone and was about to dial a number when a call came through. A short smile appeared on his face when he saw the caller ID."Thank God, he called at the right time." He said and sighed, then picked the call and placed the phone closer to his ear."Hi Dad, how are you doing?." Anthony asked."I'm fine son, how is everything over there? I hope you are getting familiar to that place?." Mr Gilbert asked in a low voice."Yes Dad, what happened? You sound reall
Anthony wiped off his face with his palm hoping he was seeing something else."Is he truly the one? I am sure he isn't the one. Everybody said he was dead maybe I saw another person who I mistaken as him." He thought."Who are you?." Mr Robert asked again, that brought Anthony back to reality."Never mind, I think I mistook you for another person, I need to take my leave now." Anthony rushed the words and left.Mr Robert continued looking towards his direction until he was out of sight."I really need to talk to this guy, I'm sure he is not from this country because of his appearance and accent." He thought and sighed.Anthony walked into the restroom and released his pee into the water closet. He washed his hands after he was done. Anthony checked himself in the mirror, then the thought of what happened earlier came to his mind. He rested his two hands on the cabinet and faced the mirror."I need to get this off my mind right now, I don't want Sonia to question me for been moody or
They arrived at the restaurant, Anthony parked the car and stopped the engine. He opened the car and ran to the other side, then he opened the door for Sonia. His face flourishes with smile, as the door opened widely Sonia looked at him and smile. His smile was contagious. He stretched out his right hand to Sonia and used to their hand on his chest. She grabbed his hand and came out gracefully from the car, people around brought out their phones and start capturing them while some commenting. "Wow she is finally back." A lady said, the lady beside her shook her head at that statement. "She is not only back but she is back with a great smile on and a partner. It is very hard to smile again after everything that happened to her but I am happy for her." The lady corrected nicely. "Thank you everyone and I am very happy to be back into this country. Thank you for your support and love, I love you all." Sonia complimented and walked in with Anthony. "They really love you." He said wi
Andrew hugged his mother tightly to himself, it felt as if he would be losing her at any moment. Mrs Gilbert also hugged him tightly.The atmosphere was calm as the two of them cried on each other's shoulders.Adam got out of his car and walked in happily, he met his Dad sitting on the sofa while punching the keyboard of his laptop."Good evening Dad." Adam greeted and walked past him, Mr Gilbert raised up his head furiously and spoke."Where are you coming from by this time of the night? Don't you know everybody is not safe?." He questioned, Adam stopped right on his track and faced his Dad."I went on a date with my girlfriend and don't worry nothing will happen to me." He replied jovially. Mr Gilbert narrowed his eyes at him."You went out with Thompson's daughter?." He asked as he was finding it hard to believe."I know what you are thinking about Dad. Her parents has given me the full opportunity to date her, so she is officially my girlfriend." He explained. Mr Gilbert was still
Hailey opened the door and walked in, Anthony and Sonia were still in their previous positions. They both turned towards the door,Hailey put up a bright smile and moved closer to Anthony. She bent over to his size. "Everything is here Sir." She informed, Anthony jumped out of the sofa immediately and walked out with Hailey. "What's up with those two?." Sonia asked herself after seeing them whispering something into each others ear. He checked everything out and it was perfect. "Thank you so much Hailey, I really appreciate your help." Anthony appreciated her. "Anytime sir." She said and walked away. Anthony arranged the boxes according to their sizes, there were three boxes. One for chocolate, another for cookies and the last one for meatballs. He placed a bucket of ice cream on it then he adjusted the flower properly. He breath in and opened the door. "Surprise see." He screamed, Sonia looked up from her laptop and saw what he brought in. "Wow." She opened her mouth in awe,
Anthony and Sonia walked into the office Hailey had cleaned. Everywhere was neat and clean. Sonia went to sit on her seat and closed her eyes as she remembered that she has once sitted on that seat before. It felt so new. Happiness filled her heart as she remembered what Mike has done. "It feels so good to be back on my seat. The very seat I deserve a lot." She thought and smiled happily. Anthony looked at her and smiled too. "She is very happy and cute. I wish I could keep seeing that smile on her face every minute and every second." He thought. "Wow, she is smiling at an invisible thing." Anthony suddenly said, those words made her jolt off from her thought. "Come on, I am not seeing invisible things. I am smiling because I am very happy to be back into this office. Mike never wanted me to be here again but you helped me. I can't even express how much I appreciate you for what you did for me. Thank you so much baby. Thank you for putting smiles on my face, you are the reason fo
