Thank you for reading. Happy New year everyone
Marissa rushed upstairs heading to Sonia's room, fortunately, she saw her coming out of Andrew's room. Sonia slammed the door behind her and raised her eyes, they landed on Marissa.Sir curved her lips up with a smile, opened her mouth slightly and raised her eyebrow a little."Good morning Marissa, How are you doing?." She greeted Marissa politely."Good morning, Mr Anthony called now, he said you should come to his office with his lunch by 12 noon." She informed her."Can't he just get something to eat at the office instead of stressing me about. He is something else." Sonia thought inwardly."Okay, I will join you in the kitchen later, I need to trash this dirt first." Sonia said, Marissa nodded and walked out.Sonia packed the food properly into the carrier bag, then looked around."I think we are done here, let me go and freshen up, then I will take it to his office.""There is still time, this is still 10:48am.""I prefer going there early than getting there late, you know how y
Andrew kissed her intensively, part of Sonia was enjoying the kiss but the other part of her was against it totally. "This is wrong I need to stop it before anybody gets here." Sonia thought, she gathered all the strength in her and pushed him off her, then she ran off without looking at him. Andrew opened his mouth to speak but she was out of sight. He turned and ruffled his hair with fingers. "Gosh, why did I do that? I am very sure she would hate me now. Nevertheless, I love her lips." He thought, a smile flashed on his face. He turned again and walked back into his room. Mr Gilbert came out of his hiding place. He was heading towards the stairs when he saw Andrew helping Sonia, to his surprise she didn't thank her. That makes him hid behind the pillar. He was glad that he did that. "I can't believe they just kissed. I think Andrew has fallen in love with that girl, unfortunately, I won't let that happen, I will make sure he get that stupid love off his head." Mr Gilbert mut
Sonia climbed down the stairs, her eyes met with Mrs Gilbert, she was pacing to and fro of the living room. Sonia didn't bother to say anything because she doesn't want anything that will bring up more questions and she had to go to Anthony's office to deliver his lunch. Mrs Gilbert turned to the right and saw Sonia going into the kitchen. "Sonia, how is he now?." She asked with a nervous expression on her face. Sonia stopped walking and turned to her. "He is fine now." Sonia answered and turned back, she was about to walk away when Mrs Gilbert spoke up again. "Are you sure he is fine?." She asked for confirmation. "If truly she wants to know about how he is fairing then she should just go to him instead of asking me questions. I hope she releases me soon, I don't want Anthony to punish me for coming late." Sonia thought impatiently. "He is fine Ma'am, you don't have to worry about anything." She answered with calmness and made to leave once again. "Why is she acting strange and
Mrs Gilbert sat on the sofa with crossed legs, she has a cup of juice in between her hand. She rested her back against the chair and enjoy the movie from the TV set.Sonia wiped off the sweat gagging up on her forehead. She rushed the work and finished by 12:55 pm. Mrs Gilbert raised her head when she heard footsteps approaching."I thought she would just forget about it, no,she wants to go. I am let her go since I have already delayed her." She thought with a scoff.Sonia got to where she was and stood by her side. "I am done." Sonia said and threw off her face. Mrs Gilbert brought the cup closer to her mouth and sipped the juice from it."You are permitted to go, but don't tell Anthony that I kept you waiting, if you tell him then I will fire you." Mrs Gilbert warned, Sonia raised her head and gave her a shocked look."My dear you don't have to look at me like that, do as I say or you will be fired. Go quickly. She said and rested her back again.Sonia rushed into the kitchen and da
Adam came out of his lecture room with style, he had a bright smile on his face. His thoughts were filled with what happened in the morning and he really looked forward to seeing his brother. He walked faster after remembering that Anthony promised to pick them up after school.The driver sat in the car, he came out of the car when he saw Adam approaching.Adam was surprised that he only saw the driver and not Anthony." Why is he not here? and why did he ask the driver to pick us up?." He questioned inwardly, he hurried closer to the driver."Good afte…""Where is my brother?." Adam asked, cutting him off."I think he is still at work." The driver replied."How could he just send a driver when he knew he won't be able to fulfill his promise? Why did he make them? I need to give him a call." Adam said angrily, the driver bowed before him.Adam looked at him and shook his head, he shoved his hand into his pocket and brought out his phone to call Anthony. He searched his contacts for h
Adam walked in with Nancy, he had told her that Anthony had gone for an urgent business trip, luckily for him she believed him."I don't have any chocolate. Can you kindly get it for me?." Nancy asked with a pout."I can't go out right now, maybe I should just order it." Adam replied and brought out his phone."No, I want you to get it for me at the stores, please." She pleaded with puppy eyes. "You don't have to do that all the time, okay, okay I will buy it for you." Adam said in a low tone, Nancy jumped on him with a great force."You don't have to break my back, you know?." He said, rolling his eyes."Mean big baby, anyways, I am off to my room." She shouted and ran to her room."This girl won't kill me one day, she should have told me earlier then we would have gotten it on our way back." Adam said."Don't worry I can send a maid to get it for her, just go into your room and rest." Mrs Gilbert said with a bright smile.Adam angered by her words, he shot her a glare and walked to
Anthony stopped the car at the front of the hospital and rushed out immediately, Sonia ran after him but she couldn't catch up because she was weak. So she decided to walk instead. Anthony got to the reception and looked back, then he saw Sonia walking slowly with a frown expression on her face. "I should have just waited for her and not run, she looks weak." Anthony thought and began to walk towards her, then he remembered that she requested for food the other time. "I am sorry Sonia, I totally forgot you were following me." Anthony apologized, Sonia gave a short smile. "It's fine, you can go ahead while I catch up with you." "No we are going together, I will walk slowly with you." Anthony insisted, then they both walked to the reception and asked where the family was. The receptionist told them to go to the theater. They headed there immediately. "I think I will have to order something for you to eat here." He said and brought out his phone immediately. "No, you don't have to
Mr Gilbert grabbed Anthony's hand and slapped him hard on his face, then everybody gasped. Anthony was shocked that his father could ever raise his hand on him. He held his cheek firmly. His mother was relieved that Anthony didn't do anything to her.Mr Gilbert has never raised his hand at him before, he was unhappy that he did that to him but he had to do it."Anthony you are overreacting, how will you raise your hand to your mother. Yes, I agree she did something nasty but you shouldn't be the one to do that. I am in the rightful position to do that." Mr Gilbert scolded."You should have cautioned me but you hit me instead I hate you Dad." Anthony yelled and ran off."Sonia, please go after him." Mr Gilbert said, Sonia nodded and ran after him."Why did she have to follow him? He is a man and I believe he would solve his problems by himself so why send her." Andrew said out of jealousy."Sonia is close to him so she has to do the work, I am sure he will be fine." Mr Gilbert stated a
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
