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
Sonia checked herself one more time, then she went to check the time."It's 7:05 am, thank God it is still early.* She muttered and walked out of the room. She stood at the passage contemplating on which room to go first."If I am to go to Anthony first then I won't have the energy to continue with his siblings, so I will start from Andrew." She decided and headed to Andrew's room. She placed a gentle knock on his door."Come in, the door is open." Andrew said, Sonia opened the door and walked in."Good morning Andrew, is there anything you want me to do for you?." She asked professionally, and that made him smile."I only have a few jobs for you. You will arrange my clothes properly, get a maid to clean this room now, vacuum this room and transfer my dirty clothes to the laundry room." He instructed."Noted, should I do it now or later?.""It is your choice, I want it done before breakfast will be over." He said walking out of the room."I need to get started now." She said, she star
The family surrounded the dining table, but Anthony and Sonia weren't present but nobody noticed as they were busy chatting, Andrew sat on his own, he plugged his ear pod into his ear and increased the volume of the music, that ended up banging really hard in his ears but he doesn't care as long as he enjoys it. "What about we go swimming?" Nancy suggested with a wide smile on her face, Adam rolled his eyes at her. "You always bring the wrong idea everytime. We aren't toddlers who will go to a swimming pool for fun, grow up." Adam teased roughing her hair. "I told you I don't like my hair to get scattered, I will do the same to yours." She said standing up and climbing the seat. "Don't rough my hair, I don't want it to disfigure my beautiful face please." He pleaded, but Nancy was determined to do what she wanted. She stretched out her hands and roughed the hair in a terrible way. "It is okay now." Mrs Gilbert said in the midst of laughter, Nancy stopped and jumped down. Adam qui
Adam badges into his room in anger. "Why is she so stupid to accept that and she is still defending him, that's crazy." He muttered, he walked straight to the dressing mirror and landed his butt on the chair, then he stared into the mirror. "I think she defended him because she doesn't want to get punished, I am certain he will still punish her." He concluded. He took a brush and brushed his hair to the back, then he opened a hair cream and rubbed it on the hair... He stared into the mirror with a satisfactory smile... "Yes I am done, I have to return back to dining. I am now the most handsome guy in my school. Nobody will ever take that title away from me." He strolled out of his room with his hands shoved into his pocket, he stopped when he got to Anthony's door, he wanted to go in but he changed his mind and walked away. He got downstairs and he was surprised to see Anthony sitted. "Come and eat, your food is served." Mrs Gilbert invited with a mouthful of food, he got angry i
Mr Gilbert sat on the swing observing the people moving around. Some have happy faces while some look sad. He went there in order to think about his family. There are billions of people in the world with problems and almost all the people solve their problems, but ours is different. "Ours is not different, it is just the way it is." Mrs Gilbert stated, then she stopped walking and leaned against the wall with a sad pout. "Really? If ours is not different then I must find a solution." "That should be your motive. I am very sorry about what happened in the morning." She apologized and walked towards him. "I know you are sorry, but sorry won't reverse the time, so let's work together. So what do you think about his attitude?." He asked calmly, then she sat down and laid her head on his shoulder. "You need to give him a call then, he won't pick up if I call." Mrs Gilbert said, Mr Gilbert wanted to speak but he resisted himself. He shoved his hand into his pocket and brought out his
Anthony was sitted on a seat, he was before the computer he was operating on, as he was working what happened in the morning flashed across his memory. He stopped punching the keyboard, then he rested his back with a sigh. "Why am I feeling this way? Was the punishment too much for her?." He questioned inwardly, he sprained up at once. "No, I did the right thing to her, next time she won't attend to my siblings before me, I am the oldest and the most respected so she must respect me with her life." He muttered with a smirk. He stared at the computer for a while, then he became bored and tired all of a sudden. "I need to take a walk round the offices, i think this is an opportunity to sack some staff, it has been a long time since I kicked out some staffs." He smirks with a small smile. He got off his seat, adjusted his shirt and walked out. He went straight to the elevator, he pressed down a button, the door opened automatically and he went in. The elevator stopped at his destina
Mr Raymond shoved his hands into his pocket, he had a black sun shade on, he strolled to the door with Tracy beside him.Tracy quickly opened the door then Mr Raymond walked in majestically, he took glances of the office and nodded severally. He has a satisfactory expression on his face.Anthony raised his eyebrows when he noticed that no one spoke after he heard a little sound from the door a while ago.He shook his head at Raymond, he never got satisfied with his things, all he knows how to do is to copy others. Raymond didn't stop staring, this got Anthony angry, he stood up abruptly and walked towards him."You can't just walk into my office and start glancing at everything without saying a word to me." Anthony challenged with a furrow brow.Raymond, who was backing him, turned with a smile."Hi Anthony, your office is very beautiful, I love your sofa very much, where did you get it from?, How much is it?, How lon...""Just shut it, why did you always have to behave like this? Yo
Sonia looked up and saw Anthony and Raymond facing each other. "I don't want Raymond to see my face, I know how he would recognise without a long stare, I need to do something very fast." She thought within a troubled heart, she wiped her tears when an idea struck her brain. She quickly opened the carrier bag and brought out a navy blue scarf, she used it to cover her head and her face. Anthony turned after scolding Raymond. "Hey, lady, who are you and why are you here?." Anthony asked in total anger. Sonia stood on her feet sluggishly and turned her face to them, Anthony saw the saved, he was curious to see the person's face. "If you are bold enough, remove that thing right now." He yelled, Sonia spoke up immediately. "It is Sonia sir." She answered softly, he released a chuckle and stared at her in surprise. "Who is Sonia?." Raymond asked in puzzle, Sonia rolled her eyes at him secretly. "You were the one who slammed the door and ran off, what exactly is your problem? You ca
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
