The car halted at the Gilbert's mansion, she opened the door and came out of the car, she looked at the main door and became depressed immediately.
"Anthony will do alot of things to me, but I will scale through." She muttered with a small smile. The driver saw Sonia wasn't moving from her position and he saw she was gone in thought.
"Ma'am, we need to take in your bags." The driver reminded with a simple tap on her shoulders, Sonia sprained up immediately.
"Why are you in such a deep thought?". The driver asked with a furrowed brow. Sonia turned to him with a smile.
"Nothing, please help me with the other bag." Sonia said as she took a bag and the driver took another bag, then they walked towards the door.
...Mrs Gilbert was fully dressed in a yellow gown, she used a black tommy belt around her waist, a black bag was hung on her right shoulder and she had a black shoe on.Sonia walked in with the driver, she still has a frown on, her mood lit up when she saw her boss.
"Wow Ma'am, you look beautiful and breathtaking in your dress." Sonia complimented as she walked in fully.
"Thank you Sonia." She replied with a beautiful smile.
"I am back with my bags now so where would I be staying?." Sonia asked then she bowed.
Mrs Gilbert smiled and turned... "Marissa.!!". She called immediately, a young girl came out of the kitchen with an apron on.
"I want you to take her to the room opposite Anthony's room." Mrs Gilbert instructed then a gasp escaped Sonia's lips and a shock appeared on her face. She felt she has to talk now or else she would be stuck with her greatest enemy. She sighed.
"Please Ma'am can I get another room aside that maybe a room close to Nancy since she is the reason I here." Sonia persuaded.
"No dear, that's the only room you can stay in now, Marissa will lead you to the room, make sure you settle down before Nancy comes back. I will be leaving now." Mrs Gilbert said and walked out. Sonia has a confused look on her face.
"Let's go Sonia." Marissa said as started climbing the stairs but Sonia was absent minded as she thought about nasty things Anthony will do to her.
Marissa stopped and turned when she didn't hear any steps behind her.
"Sonia, what are you waiting for." She shouted, Sonia was brought back to reality.
"Not again." She muttered and rushed to Marissa, then they continued their journey.
"This is your room". Marissa said as soon as they got to the entrance.
"Thank you." Sonia appreciated then she knobbed down the handle and it opened widely.
"Let's go in." Marissa said, they both walked in.
"Wow this is beautiful." Sonia said with a fake compliment.
"This is not up to half of my room, it is not spacious and beautiful." She thought with a scoff.
"Yes it is, you are very lucky this room belongs to you because none of us has never gotten a room upstairs before." Marissa stated with tint of sadness in her tone as she looked around the room.
It has a large wardrobe attached to the left side wall, the bathroom was on the right, then it has a middle size bed in the middle, all other furnitures were properly placed.
"Thank you Marissa, I need to start unpacking right now." Sonia dropped her bag on the bed.
"Okay, let me help you with that since I am less busy." Marissa rendered.
"No Marissa I can do that on my own, the only thing I will be needing your help with is that when you get down stairs please inform the driver to bring my other bag upstairs."
"Okay I will, make yourself comfortable in your new room, make sure you send for me whenever you need something."
"I will." Sonia replied with a smile, then Marissa walked out.
"She is very nice and kind so as Mrs Gilbert, I wonder where Anthony got his nature from." Sonia wondered.
She faced her bag, then she unzipped it and started unpacking.
...Andrew slammed the door and it let out a loud noise, he was peeping at Sonia.He walked to his couch with a sad face...
"I shouldn't have interfered at all, why didn't I just keep quiet and watch them talk, I hate myself alot." Andrew blamed as he fling the flower vase on the table across the room.
He always want to be alone, he receives lectures at home through the online teachings, he doesn't even want to show his face to anyone apart his family members and workers.
Andrew stood up and went to lay on the bed, he has being having sleepless nights, he closed his eyes slowly, he drifted to sleep.
...Adam drove into his school compound in a great speed.The ladies stood with smiles on their faces as they know it will be none other than Adam Gilbert.
Some girls started adjusting their dresses as they want him to pick them. It has become one of his habit to date and dump girls every week.
Adam stopped the car at the school pack, he put on his shades and arranged his hair after he was done, then he stepped out of the car looking handsome as always.
Girls flocked around him immediately, they started touching different parts of his body but he felt nothing as he wasn't interested in any of them.
"Adam baby." A voice called from behind, the girls paved way for her. The voice came from Lily.
Lily is the most beautiful lady in the whole school, her father owned the school so she has every right to punish, date and fuck any student but Adam case is very different as he didn't give in to her.
She walked towards Adam and placed her hand on his shoulders, Adam took off his hand and dusted his shoulders. Lily was shocked then she looked around and saw others giggling but one person has a wide laughter which got her really angry, she walked towards to the girl in anger, her eye ball changed to red. She gave the girl a resounding slap, the girl held her cheek tightly due to the hotness of her cheek.
"How dare you make fun of me, I will make you regret ever coming to school today." Lily yelled as she was about to pull her hair, Adam grabbed her and gave her a resounding slap also.
Lily couldn't believe her eyes as she wasn't expecting to be slapped, she has never received a slap from anybody not even her parents hit her.
"You slapped me because of this thing here." Lily shouted as tears dropped from her eyes, Adam scoffed and walked closer to the girl, he removed her hand from her ear.
"I am going to spend the whole week with this girl here." Adam declared, then he took her hand and walked away, the girl was very happy that Adam finally noticed her after long time of expecting.
The other girls started murmuring and making jest of Lily, some can't wait to be punished in front of Adam.
Lily was disappointed, furious, pain, hurt and heartbroken at the same time. Adam really disgraced her and she yearned for revenge.
Lily watched them walk away and let out a revengeful smile.
"I still love you Adam, but you will have to be punished for what you did to me." Lily muttered and walked away also.
Anthony walked in through the main door, he had a very tiring look on his face, a yawn escaped his mouth and hd covered his mouth with a handkerchief. He dragged his feet as he walked fully into the house. He had a very hectic day, he attended to a lot of files and meetings at the same time. He slumped on the nearest sofa and rested his head on the head board, he raised his head and kept the briefcase beside him and took off his suit, then he rested his head again, not knowing when he slept off in the living room. Sonia has been resting all day and she doesn't like it as she wasn't used to being idle all day long, she wondered if that would be how she would be living. Sonia wiped off the remaining sleep from her eyes, she wore her slippers and staggered to the bathroom, she splashed some water on her face and used the face towel to wipe it off. After she was done unpacking she decided to have some rest but she ended up sleeping. Sonia came out of the bathroom and went straight t
Sonia opened the door and her eyes caught with Anthony and she slammed the door and rested her back on the door."Why did I have to see the devil now?" Sonia muttered and waited patiently for him to go.Anthony scoffed at her behavior."Mom still went against my decision to let her stay here, it is okay, let's see if she would stay long." Anthony said, he released a smirk."Big brother Anthony." Nancy shouted as she hugged his legs since he is taller.Anthony squatted to her size and stroked her hair."How are you little sis." Anthony asked with a smile on his face."I am fine, your eyes are red and it bulges out." Nancy said looking for more faults."Yes, you are right, I am feeling sleepy right now, all I crave for is sleep." Anthony replied, then he yawned."That's new, anyways, go have your beautiful sleep while I enjoy my day with my new nanny." Nancy shouted happily and knocked on Sonia's door."Whatever, don't mention that witch's name to me again." Anthony warned with a seriou
Everybody has a sad face on, the maid dropped the food and left.Mrs Gilbert sat down with grieve. She cupped her face into her joined palm, then she stared blankly at nothing in particular.Andrew left the table and went to his room. Adam watched him leave, he also stood up and faced his mother."Mom, something needs to be done here, I don't know what it is but definitely something needs to be done." Adam advised, then he sighed. Mrs Gilbert raised her head and looked at him."Mom, I hope you will handle the situation well, I hope he finds her, I ...""Kindly go to your room please Adam, don't add to what happened and I will get back at you for what you did in school today." She hollered with a glance flicker. Adam blinked with a feigned innocence."Don't give me that look, your punishment awaits you but for now, go in with Nancy." She said again."Nancy, your Mama wants you in your room, right now." Adam ordered, Nancy didn't make a move an inch instead she bursted into tears."I wo
The doctor removed the stethoscope from her chest, then he rose and removed it from his ear."What happened?." Mrs Gilbert asked immediately, the doctor exchanged glares with both Mrs Gilbert and Anthony. The doctor's eyes cocked brow in surprise. Anthony was getting impatient already and she was anxious to know."Tell us, what happened?." He shouted at him with flared nostrils. The doctor knew at once that he had to speak up in order to avoid his anger which was rising."The cold really did a lot of magic to her as it weakened her book system but don't worry she will be fine by tomorrow and make sure she gets enough rest please." The doctor reported, then he reached for his bag and opened it."Thank you doctor, is there any medicine you want to prescribe for her?." Mrs Gilbert asked as she walked towards her, Anthony moved his eyes around in expectancy of all this to end.The doctor brought out a jotter and a pen."You got it Ma'am." The doctor replied then he scrambled something on t
Adam held Nancy's hand as they walked towards Sonia's room."I was asked several questions concerning you yesterday, they were so nice that I felt guilty because I knew they would never get to know you more." Nancy pouted sadly."You don't have to feel sad in any way, they want what can't be possible." Adam grinned."Ouch." Nancy whimpered in pain as she felt something bumped into her with force. Adam looked up to look at the person and it turned out to be Anthony. He didn't look back, talkless of stopping to see what he had done."My shoulders hurts a lot." She said, holding onto her shoulders firmly. Adam was very angry about his actions but he can do nothing."Sorry sis, let me help you to your room, in order to rub some balms on it." Adam stated, Nancy nodded. They turned and started walking to her room.Mrs Gilbert was walking through the corridor, she had a sad expression on, it was obvious that something is bothering her with the way she has a frown on. Adam and Nancy went thr
Adam danced to the rhythm coming from the earpod plugged into his ears. Many students wondered what was wrong with the mighty Adam. He stopped dancing when he couldn't hear any music playing. A frown appeared on his face then he looked back in anticipation of harming the person, his balled fist dropped when he saw who they were.They were his friends Ryan and Edward, they are both troublesome and handsome but Adam is more handsome."Why are you dancing like a lunatic?." Ryan teased and patted Adam."Look, he is angry." Edward added."Why did you have to remove it from my ears, gosh you two are not normal, give it to me already." Adam said with a furrowed brow."No we are not, I will use one ear while Edward will use the other one, Is that agreed?." Ryan asked, Adam shot him a glare and hissed."You can keep it if you don't want to give it back." Adam surrendered in a harsh tone and walked away."Is he serious right now, we were only joking with him, which he knew." Ryan said looking
Sonia joined Marissa in the kitchen, she is still feeling weak so she decided to help Marissa out in the kitchen before Anthony comes back."Hi Marissa, what would you like for me to help you with?" Sonia greeted, she walked in fully, Marissa washed her hands then she wiped off the water before turning to Sonia."No, don't help me, you are still not feeling fine, just go and get some rest while I continue, perhaps, I have a maid helping me out with the cooking." Marissa stated."No I insist, I have been in my room for a very long time now and it makes me feel weaker, please." Sonia pleaded, Marissa looked at her."No, I don't want Sir Anthony to see you here. If he finds you here then he is going to punish the both of us." She said out of fear, Sonia furrowed her brow and smiled."I know that's what is bothering you but don't worry I got us covered, I will run out through the back door immediately I hear his voice or a honk coming from his car. What did you think about that." Sonia su
Mr Gilbert stood up beside his wife heading to the stairs."Where are you going?." She asked with her eyes not leaving the TV set."I want to check on Andrew in his room, I have really missed him." He replied."Whatever, make sure you tell him he should just come out of his shell and relate with everyone.""No, you should be the one to relate with him not him doing so, continue your movie, I will be back soon." He said with a wink, then he climbed the stairs.Mr Gilbert knocked on the door... "Who is it?." Andrew asked with a low voice. He was laying on his bed with his laptop before him, he was having an online lecture."It is your Dad, open up before I break it down right now." He joked, Andrew chuckled, he switched off his laptop and jumped down from the bed running to get the door. He opened the door and saw his father standing before him with a smile."Daaad!!." He called and pulled him into a tight hug. Mr Gilbert tapped him repeatedly."You are choking me." He managed to say
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
