Thank you for reading.
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
Finally the security men separated them. Some people already brought out their phones to take videos of them. Anthony stood up first and looked around then he saw then, he didn't flinch a bit. He used his left hand to wipe off the blood at the corners of his lips. "Put down your phones and cameras right now and make sure you delete the videos. If you want to keep the videos and send them to the press or post on social media and I find out who it was then, I will destroy the little dignity and integrity the person has. I am not trying to scare anyone, but that is what I will do to that person." Anthony warned, the people started murmuring and put down their phone, then they started walking away. "Anthony, you don't have to fight your brother, you just have to overlook him, you know how unreasonable he is." Mrs Gilbert scolded him a little, and started wiping off his blood with her handkerchief. "What is wrong with you Sofia, two of our sons fought and all you could do is to take sid
Moringa walked out of the studio in anger... "That is total nonsense, what rubbish is that?." She shouted in anger. Her manager ran to her immediately. "Moringa, what just happened in there? He was just trying to correct you, and don't forget that he is the owner of the company you are working with right now." Miss Tasha cautioned. "I don't care, I don't even want to know who he is and his purpose for being here. I have been in this modeling industry for a while now, so I know basically everything in this industry. A man can't just come from nowhere and start telling me what to do. I know everything, if truly he wants me to do the job then he would let me do it without any intervention." Moringa shouted in anger. Moringa facepalm herself. "This girl is a pain in my neck, I can't even talk to her once and she would agree. I will have to say the same thing many times before she listens. She is very stubborn and saucy. I don't know how I have been copying with her." "Baby, I know yo
Anthony sat on his seat with a frown on his face, the memory of the previous night replayed in his brain repeatedly.He stood up abruptly and paced around. He wondered what could have made his two brothers challenge him. Even though they weren't close as brothers should be, at least they don't fight around. "I don't know what came over those two, since Dad wants us to have a family meeting then I will ask them. I don't care if it will cause a fight between us again." Anthony thought, he stopped and walked towards the window."How I wish the day would just run out quickly. I can't wait to be part of that useless family meeting." He said. His phone started ringing."Who could be the person calling me? I am not in the mood to pick calls now." He said, he shoved his left hand into his pocket, then checked the caller ID for the person calling."Why is the receptionist calling my phone directly?." He questioned himself and picked the call."Why are you calling my personal number? Why can't
It was diner time, all the family members sat round the dining table. There was silence throughout the dinner.Mr Gilbert was the first to stand up, he reached for the napkin and used it to wipe off his mouth, then he strolled to the living room and sat down on the sofa. Mrs Gilbert stood up next, they all left the dining table one after the other.Sonia was uncomfortable till the end of the dinner, she had to force herself to eat."I need to ask Marissa about this, everything doesn't seem right at all." She muttered and made to clean up but Andrew stopped her."I know you won't yield to the doctor's advice but I force you to." Andrew threatened."I am bothered by something, I can't even eat my dinner properly." Sonia said with a sad face."What is it? Tell me please." Andrew said and sat down beside her."It won't be a good thing to speak about his family, I will find out myself." She thought and her lips curved into a smile, Andrew was confused at first."Why are you smiling? You t
After the family meeting Anthony walked into his room and that was when the facade he was wearing fell.Deep inside.Anthony felt uneasy and restless because never would you have imagined that his mother was treating him well while neglecting his brothers. If he had known he would have said something to her, he knows that his mother loved him but he didn't know it was to the point of not wanting to spend time with her other sons just for his sake.Was it actually for his sake or was there something else that was wrong he didn't know about?He could not understand how his mother would act that way with his brothers.He just hoped that this would not ruin the relationship he had with his brothers.Anthony was feeling frustrated by the whole situation.How could he make this right? He wondered.If Adam hadn't said anything to their Dad maybe he wouldn't have known that his mother only favored him.Anthony sighed in frustration as he headed to the bathroom to take his bath, he sluggishly
Anthony woke up the next day feeling drained, he never imagined that he would have such a restless night yesterday. Anthony got ready for work and getting downstairs there was no one at the dining table, just food. After what happened yesterday and his mother not admitting what she did was wrong. Anthony hoped that this won't tear his family apart. Anthony didn't want to see anybody this morning so he thought It was good that he saw no one at the dining table. He decided it was best that he leave early so no one knows who will see him. He wasn't ready to face anyone yet. Anthony was heading out the door when he had a voice that stopped him. "Has it gotten to the point that you won't tell me you are leaving for work anymore?" Mrs Gilbert asked. Anthony sighed in frustration because he wasn't in the mood to have any conversation with anyone at this moment and just wanted to be left alone. "I am heading to work." Anthony said to his mother. "Don't you even want to eat breakfast,
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
