Sonia's eyes widened in shock as his lips collided with her's. She wanted to push him off but she couldn't as she was enjoying every bit of it. Anthony has his eyes closed as kissed her intensively. Sonia gathered all the courage left in her, then she pushed him off her. That was when Anthony came back to his senses, he sprained up from the bed immediately. "I am very sorry Sonia, I swear it was a mistake. All I can see in you is Gladys, please forgive me." Anthony apologized in a rush. Sonia composed herself and stood up, she stood straight, then raised her left hand and wiped off the lipstick from his lips, Anthony wasn't expecting her to do that. "Aren't you angry?." Anthony asked in surprise, Sonia smiled. "I am angry with you but first I have to clean your lips. Like I said earlier, I think you should visit a therapist if you don't want to share your problem with me." She said with a short smile. "Gladys is the only person I loved with all my heart but she cheated on me. I f
Mr Thompson and his wife exchanged glances as they were silent from Mr and Mrs Gilbert. "Where is Adam? I am fully aware that this dinner was organized because of Lily and Adam, so why is he not here?." Mr Thompson yelled angrily. "Don't worry he will be here soon. Actually, we sent him on an errand so he would be here soon. Let's go to the dinning and start eating, he will join us." Mr Gilbert said with a forced smile. "Alright, let's go to the dining table then". Mrs Thompson supported, she faced Lily..."Baby, don't worry, I know he will be here soon." She comforted Lily who was about speaking up. "Thank God they believed us, now we have to keep lying till we leave this place." Mr Gilbert thought with a smirk displaying on his face. Mrs Thompson led the way to the dining table, Mr Thompson wasn't satisfied with his reply at all. "We will stay here until he comes back. He needs to be here before we do anything here." He suddenly said." They stopped and turned. "Thompson, I have
Adam sighed after saying those words in his mind..."I don't wanna cause any more trouble tonight but she is provoking me with those stupid questions. Gosh, I feel like gagging her mouth with something that will make her shut up for ever." He thought inwardly. Lily saw that he didn't respond to her, then she took her hand into his hand. Adam felt a touch on his hand, lowered his head only to see Lily's hands in his. "Lily, please let us eat". Adam pleaded in a forced cool voice. He tried as much as possible to speak to her calmly. "I am not disturbing you, I didn't stop you from eating either." She snapped with a wink. "She thinks she is smart enough to make me a fool, then she is totally wrong." He muttered with a smirk on his face. Adam looked at the conjoined hands once again, then he jerked his hand off her grip, that action threw her hand back and it got the table hardly. "Ouch." She groaned in pain as she swung the infected fingers. "Baby, what happened to your hand". Mrs T
Adam walked to the car with a victorious smile on his face. He remembered everything and started laughing. "I should have done that before but now it is also cool." He muttered. Mr and Mrs Gilbert walked to where he was standing. "What was the meaning of what you did back there? You knew what he could do but you still went ahead to say all those words without thinking twice. Your sudden behavior is not good at all, I don't know what to do about it anymore." Mrs Gilbert shouted and rolled her eyes at him. "Thank your stars that he was in a good mood, if not he would have done something bad to you." Mr Gilbert said with a sigh, he moved to the car, opened it and entered. Mrs Gilbert rolled her eyes once again before joining him in the car. "Why are they being too dramatic, after all l only answered the questions I was asked." He scoffed, walked towards the car and went in. "Drive." Mr Gilbert instructed, immediately the driver ignited the engine and drove off, there was silence for
Anthony sat on the bed, resting his back and head on the headboard. He has his phone on his two palms, he fixed his eyes on the phone, all his concentration was on it.Sonia opened the door and walked in with a tray in her hands. He didn't want to go for dinner so he instructed her to bring his food to his room. Sonia walked in fully and stood by his side and placed the tray gently on the bedside stool, he didn't notice her at all as he was deeply engrossed in the phone."Sir, I have brought your food and all the necessary things." Sonia spoke up with a calm voice."Okay, you can place it on the bed." He instructed and placed his phone on the bed gently then Sonia picked up the tray from the stool and dropped it on the bed."What else should I get for you?." She asked standing uprightly."You forgot to come with a napkin, so go and get it right now and also bring a bottle of chilled red wine for me." He ordered, Sonia nodded and bowed."I don't need your nod." He corrected in a cool v
The car honked loudly but nobody opened the door, the car honked repeatedly but there was no answer. "What is happening here? Go and check the gateman inside." Mrs Gilbert instructed and the driver nodded, went out and opened the gate with his keys. He saw the gateman running out of his apartment in great speed. "What were you doing inside, I have been honking for a very long time." The driver scolded. "I am sorry, I was about to take my bath when I heard the honks, so I had to dress up before running out." The gateman explained. "You don't have to explain to me, Madam is very angry right now, I don't know what she would do right now. Anyways, open the gate and await your punishment." The driver said and walked out. "I pray she doesn't sack me, I know she won't, it is not as if today will be the first time I would open the gate late." He scoffed and ran to the gate. He opened it widely, the car was driven in, when the car finally got to a stop. The gateman rushed to the car. He he
Mr Gilbert and Adam walked through the busy street. They haven't spoken to each other ever since they have been walking. "How will I start a conversation with him right now? Mum didn't give it a second thought before saying those words. I wonder how he would be feeling now?." Adam thought and took a glance at his Dad, Mr Gilbert tilted his neck to Adam all of a sudden and saw Adam staring at him. He stopped walking immediately and faced him properly, Adam also stop walking. "I am sorry for dragging you into this mess, I should have faced it alone. I hope the cold is not too much for you?." "Dad, you don't have to worry about me, I am fine and okay. Then about Mum, I am very sorry for everything she said to you, I know she said it out of anger. Please forgive her." Adam pleaded. "I know your Mum was too harsh but it is fine but you caused everything that happened back there. You never listen to any body. Tell me what caused all this things because I know you weren't like this?."
Mrs Gilbert settled down on the seat behind her, Anthony sat beside her."I hope all this will end soon, I am tired of everything." She thought.Andrew came out of the elevator and saw his Mum. He has a shopping bag hanging on his left hand."Thank God, she was the one I saw while going out." Andrew thought, then he walked closer to them."Are they still operating on her?." He asked, Anthony and Mrs Gilbert tilted their heads to where the voice was coming from."No, they are still in there." Anthony replied in a faint voice."Alright, Mum, who told you what happened? And where is Dad and Adam?." Andrew asked, Mrs Gilbert was surprised and shocked."Wow, this is wonderful, I never believed you could speak up like that." Mrs Gilbert said in awe."I asked a question here and not a compliment." Andrew snapped and faced Anthony, Anthony spoke up before he could say a word."You have no right to shun Mum like that." Anthony scolded."I know you will support her, you are mummy's pet of cours
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
