“ The way you protected Mara right? You family are After Vanessa and Mara because of you, please just leave them alone” he pleaded. “ They’ve been staying here with you for days now I know but you kept lying to me that you don’t know where Vanessa is. Why would you lie to me?” Alfred asked but Vanessa interrupted him before Derek could answer. “ He did that to protect me, to protect Mara. You don’t even mind if anything happens to me or Mara. Please just go, I don’t want any of them to find out you came here” Vanessa Held Mara’s hand and Entered inside the room. “ Vanessa!” Alfred called after her but she locked the door. “ Vanessa won’t take down her words” Derek said and he turned to her. “ Then make her, I love Vanessa” Alfred said worriedly. “ Vanessa is right, you shouldn’t come looking for her again. Your family is after her” Derek sat down on a couch and Alfred sat on another one facing him. “ My Family, who among them? Is it Mandy? She’s the only one that I know would do
“ Don’t feed my kid with sugar” Alfred warned but Mandy ignored him. “ It’s time for you to go” Mara said to Alfred who was looking at them. “ Yes, you heard her” Mandy said and Alfred grabbed her hand. “ No, I won’t leave you here with them, you might try something awful” He said. “ Leave me alone, I’m not the Mandy you used to know. I’m a change person now” Mandy struggled. “ I don’t believe you, Maybe grandma sent you here or maybe your Daddy did” He said and she sighed. “ My Daddy won’t come back here again!” She tried to free her wrist but he was stronger than her. “ And you want me to believe you? I know you control your Daddy but I won’t ever believe you unless I see it with my eyes.” He said. “ You control your Daddy?” Mara asked Mandy and she nodded her head. “ It’s not like I control him on purpose, he always do things I don’t like” She defended herself. “ Don’t listen to her, she will teach you to be stubborn” He said to Mara. “ No she won’t, Release her hand” Mara said
“ I came to see you” Alfred Looked at the Cab driver and signaled him to go. “ I don’t have time for you now, you can come when I want to see you” She said trying to enter the cab again. “ I Need to talk to you, it’s urgent” Alfred said and she paused. “ Whatever it is, Make it quick and don’t waste my time” She said looking at him. “ Can we go Inside?” He asked and she looked at her maid. “ Lead the way” They Entered inside the house and the Cab left. “ What is it you want to say that is urgent?” She asked After she sat on a chair in the garden. Alfred sat on the other chair facing her and he sighed. “ Grandma, I’m sorry for what I said to you the other day” He apologized. “ Go straight to the point” She ignored his apology. “ Grandma, I want you to stop threatening Vanessa and Mara” Alfred said and she Giggled. “ Why?” She raised a brow. “ Mara is my child” He said and she interrupted him. “ And what gave you the impression that she’s your child? That girl is trying to force th
“ How I wish Vanessa could agree that I mean no harm to her and Mara, I just want her to forgive me and know that I’m not the kind of a person she thinks I am” She sighed. “ Don’t be sad, Mandy. Let’s just give her some time, I’m sure she would find out the truth very soon” He assured her and Mandy smiled. “ I hope so” She Said Smiling. “ I think I should be on my way now, there’s something important I have to do at home” Mandy stood up from the couch and picked up her mini bag. “ Oh okay, I thought you would stay here till night. Anyways, thanks for coming over” Derek smiled. “ You are leaving already? I thought you would play with me” Mara said sadly. “ Don’t worry Baby, I’ll play with you when next I return. Okay?” She said and Mara nodded her head. “ Okay” She said. “ See you guys tomorrow or when next I come” Mandy said walking out of the house. “ Won’t You come tomorrow?” Derek asked “ I don’t know yet, I might come if I’m not busy” She said and he node d his head. “ Alright
“Should I confess to her? Maybe I should wait. But what if I delayed and someone confessed to her? No no, I must do something fast” Derek nodded his head. “ what are you still doing there?” Vanessa asked through the window. “ Nothing” He said and went inside the house. Alfred returned home looking so devastated. He still couldn't believe what his grandma was doing to him, she should at least allow him to marry the girl he loves. Vanessa might be a local girl and not up to kiara’s standard like grandma had said but she was the kind of a girl every man would want as his wife. “ I can’t just sit here and do nothing, I must bring back Vanessa in to this house” Alfred sat down on the bed and started unbuttoning his sleeve. “ But what’s wrong with Mara? She acted so different earlier. Mara would have come running to me , I wonder if Vanessa had brainwashed her” He took off his clothe and entered the bathroom to take a shower with the same thoughts running through his mind. He didn’t l
“ Wait a minute, are you still together with that model?” he asked surprisingly “ you mean Kiara? I’m not talking about her” he scoffed. “ Then who?” he asked. “ It’s a girl, I can’t tell you everything over the phone. So tell me, when are you returning?” “ That’s the reason why I called you, I’ll be coming home next week” he said and Alfred heaved a sigh of relief “ I sure missed you bro, come home soon” Alfred said and he smiled. “ I missed you too so much and I can’t wait to see your girlfriend” he teased “ you will like her, she s a nice girl and I can’t wait to introduce you to another person” Alfred said smiling.“ Alright then I have to go now. We will talk later” he disconnected the call and Alfred smiled. “ That’s my little bro, I can’t wait to see you” he lay his head on the sofa handle and sighed. ------Bella and Mary were inside the kitchen listening to Alfred’s conversation with his younger brother. Unlike Mary who knew everything about the family, Bella was surpri
“ Wow! That’s wonderful, I don’t want anything that would destroy my career okay?” she said to him. “ Yes ma’am you can count on me” she ended the call and heaved a sigh of relief. “ I can now sleep peacefully, I just have to stay out of Mandy’s life or else she would burst me” “ should I leave the city? Maybe I should” she dialed her managers number and in no time, he was in her room. “ You called” he said “ Yes, I want you to book a flight for us” she said and he raised a brow “ to where again? we just returned” he reminded her. “ I know, I just want to go on vacation again and this time, it must be long” she said and added before he could utter a word. “ We will be leaving tomorrow, no one must know where we are going” she warned him and dismissed him. She lay down on the bed immediately he was out of the room. “ What have I gotten myself into?” she sighed. “ The best thing is to leave the city, I know he might try to find me whenever the truth unfold but he will never see me a
The assistant was still waiting for him outside still terrified and scared of the whole thing. “ She ran away” Alfred said to him before he could enter the car. “ What! Wow!’ the assistant exclaimed. Deep down in his heart, he was so excited but he dare not show it or his Boss would start suspecting him. “ Let’s go” Alfred entered the car and his assistant hurried to the driver’s seat, he was so happy that he had to do a very tough job by controlling himself.“ To the estate” he said to the assistant :” okay boss” the assistant said. Normally, he would have asked Alfred what he was going to do there but he didn’t because he didn’t care anymore. All he wanted was for Alfred not to find out the truth about what he did.“ Why aren’t you opposing me going there today?” he asked the assistant. “ N..nothing Boss” he said and Alfred chuckled. “ Okay” he said and a smile escaped from his lip. The thought of Vanessa sent happiness and joy to his heart “ Should I get them something?” he asked
“ Let’s live in the same house with Everyone, with Aunt Mandy, Little Daddy and Grandma. I want to stay with everyone” She Said happily. “ Okay then, let’s do that” Vanessa said to Alfred. “ That’s Good, I like that too. But are you sure you can stay in a family house?” He asked and she laughed softly. “ Of course I Can” She said and he smiled. “ I can’t believe this is happening, it’s just like a dream. Vanessa, I can’t thank you enough” ----- The Day finally came, The Day of Vanessa and Alfred’s wedding. It was such a beautiful sight to behold. Everywhere was so beautiful, decorated in Colorful Flowers. Vanessa was dressed in a beautiful white gown embroidered with White Crystals and petals, Her hairs was parked in a Bun with a Crystal crown on her head and a very big Veil that Streamed on the floor as she walked. In her hands was a beautiful pure white Bouquet with Crystal beads decorated on them. She was Sitting in the waiting room when Mary came in, Mary And Abby and Bella whe
“ Wow! Really? And you didn’t tell me” Jonah rolled his eyes. “ She told me earlier when I visited her in the hospital” Alfred defended himself. “ Wow! Vanessa and Alfred are finally getting married. I’m so happy for you girlfriend” Derek hugged Vanessa but Alfred pushed him away. “ Don’t hug her again” He said and they all laughed. “ Alfred is already getting jealous” Mandy teased. “ I’m Jealous” They all turned to Jonah “ You missed. Your chance and I found your brother” Vanessa stuck out her tongue at him and they all laughed. “ Yes I missed my chance and I’ll never repeat that again.” He promised. “ Then you should live back the girl who is in love with you” Alfred said and he sighed. “ If only I could find a girl that likes me, I’ll Marry her” He said sadly. “ Of course there is” Alfred said smiling. “ Who?” Jonah asked. “ Bella of course, I told you already” He said and turned to Vanessa. “ I’ll Come back tomorrow, we’ll be getting Mandy’s things move to my house today” He
“ See.. our parents are gone and so are yours but yours is different because your Daddy is still alive” He reminded her. “ But it’s just like he’s gone. I’ll never see him again for the rest of my life, Grandma Warned us not to go anywhere closer to that prison” She cried. Alfred hugged her and patted her back softly. “ Mandy, look around you. Your love ones are here with you” He said and she lifted up her head. “ But they all left, they would have stayed when I wanted them to if only Dad was here” She cried. “ No not them, I mean us. You have grandma, you have me, you have Jonah and there’s Also Vanessa and Mara” “ Did Grandma approved of Vanessa and Mara?” She asked and Alfred smiled. “ Yes, you are the first person to know about this” He said and Mandy sighed. “ Lucky you, you now have someone to live happy with for the rest of your life. But look at me, I’m all alone” She sniffed. “ No girl, don’t say that again. Have you forgotten there’s someone else apart from us?” He asked.
“ I’m Ready to get Marry” He said and she smiled. “ Wonderful! That’s My Favorite grandchild” She said and Alfred Chuckled. “ I’m Not your favorite Grandchild. Where’s Mandy?” He asked. “ She’s Angry with me and has refused to come visit me” She sighed. “ Anyways, let’s talk about your marriage. I’ve find you a girl to marry, don’t worry, she’s a Good girl” Grandma said smiling. “ A girl? But I’ve already found who I want to marry” He said and she shook her head. “ Alfred , don’t tell me you still hand around that Girl” She said and he nodded his head. “ Yes, she’s the mother of my Child. Grandma please allow me to marry Vanessa or I go away from this City and never returns” He said. “ You can go wherever you want to go I don’t care. All I know is you must marry the girl I found for you” She said and he sighed. “ Tell me who the girl is” Alfred said and her face brightened up. “ I found her from the WENDY’S. What’s her name again?” She thought. “ Don’t tell me” Alfred said surpris
“ Vanessa, The Boss is here” Vanessa came out of her room with a swollen eyes. She has been crying for three days non stop. “ What do you want?” She asked him and he Stepped forward. “ No stay there, Don’t move a step closer” She said to him and Alfred Stopped. “ Vanessa, I know what you are going through right now. Please, forgive me, Forgive my family for what we did to you” Alfred apologized. “ Tell me, what did my mum did to them?” She asked and Alfred Shook his head. “ I’m Sorry Vanessa” He Apologized. “ Just tell me” “ My Uncles said they found your mum trying to run into a moving truck. They saved her and she told them she wanted to kill herself because she was tired of this world, she said the man that promised to marry her ran away after you were born. She was hopeless, Her parents had Disowned her and that was when they used her against my Parents” He explained sadly. “ Wait, if I understand you correctly. You mean your Uncles staged your parents Accident using my Mum. Lik
Alfred and Jonah visited their Uncles in prison, they were taken to a room to speak with them. Alfred Forced Jonah there if not, Jonah didn’t want to go. He didn’t want to see the faces of the murderers but Alfred told him there was something he wanted to hear from them. “ Alfred, please Help us seek for Mum’s forgiveness. We regret what we did to your parents, Please forgive us” Mandy’s Dad pleaded. “ You want us to forgive you after all that? No way” Jonah said “ Jonah, please calm down” Alfred tapped his shoulder. “ There’s nothing I can do for you, I didn’t come here to listen to your pleas. There’s something I want to hear from you” Alfred said and Jonah Smiled. He like that spirit. “ What is it? Ask and we will tell you everything. There’s No need hiding anything from you again” One of the uncle’s said. “ It’s About my Assistant” He said and Jonah looked at him. “ What did he do?” He asked but Before Alfred could say anything to him, The Uncle took over. “ Your Assistant is
“ She saw the cops Taking them away and she asked me why. You know Vanessa was an orphan right?” He asked and Jonah Nodded his head. “ Yes” He said. “ Vanessa isn’t an orphan. I investigated for her parents too and found out her Mum’s death is connected to my parents death” He Said pitifully. “ Oh No, Did you tell her?” He asked and Alfred nodded his head. “ Yes, I made a very big mistake”. “ You did what you ought to do. She will find out someday about this even if you didn’t tell her” Jonah told him and he sighed. “ Do you think Vanessa would want to be with me After this?” He asked and Jonah Smiled. “ She will” He patted him on the arm. ----The next day, Vanessa and Derek left the house in search of Vanessa’s Father. Derek Carried Mara on his arm as the walked out of the estate to find a Taxi. As soon as they stepped out of the estate, They found a taxi and Derek gave him the Address. He sat in the front while Vanessa and Mara sat at the back. Derek tried to engage Vanessa in a
You were so jealous of him and his wife that you killed the both of them. How dare you! You should have at least tell me you need the Company instead of killing him. Did you manage to get the company after that? No! His first son took over. You all are a shame to me and this family!” Grandma said in tears. “ Mum please forgive us” The eldest of them begged. “ Keep shut! I don’t want to hear your voices” She turned to the cops who were already waiting for her order. “ Take them away, Do not Release them. They must rot in jail. From now on, their names are erased from my Family, I disown them!” She said In Anger and the cops handcuffed them. “ Grandma please, please Forgive them” Mandy and the rest of the family except Alfred and Jonah pleaded. They were all crying to see their Dads and husbands taking away by the cops. “ Please Grandma” Mandy cried. As the cops were taking them out of the emergency room, Vanessa bumped in to them. She was so confused to see so many people in the ro
“ Okay I heard you, But Please you should have a rethink.” Vanessa turned off the dryer and put it down on the Table. “ Derek, I’m going there to confess to Alfred I love him too” She said for the fifth time that day. “ I’m Not against it but What would happen between the two brothers? That’s what I’m scared of” Derek was so worried. “ I don’t care, all I know is I love Alfred and I’m going to his house to tell him the truth. Jonah’s return is what gives me the confidence” She opened the closet and brought out a set of clothes. “ This will do right?” She asked him smiling. “ Yes Mummy, you’ll look so good in it” Mara said Happily. Mara has been so happy ever since she heard Vanessa telling Derek that she was going to confess her love to Alfred that morning. She was so glad her Mum and Dad would be back together again like before when she was the happiest Girl ever.. “ You Two Should go out of the room, I want to dress” She said pointing to the door. “ Okay Mummy” Mara said and r
