“ Where have you been?” Mary who was standing on the corridor asked immediately he came out from the Car. “ The Boss sent me” He lied. Mary Scoffed, She looked at him from the head to toe and Chuckled. “ The Boss sent you?” She asked with her arms folded. “ Yes” He lied again. “ Okay, The Boss Have been looking for you for hours now. How would you explain that?” She asked him. “ Oh My God, he asked of me? I better hurry to him now” She grabbed his wrist as he walked past her. “ Are you cheating on me?” She asked him and he Chuckled softly. “ Cheating on you, with who? Of course not. You are the only girl that I love” He fling his hand from hers and hurried inside the house. Alfred was coming down the stairs when the Assistant Entered the sitting room. He hurried to Alfred and bowed his head a little with his hands in front of him. “ Where did you go?” Alfred asked sitting down on the sofa. “ I.. I” He interrupted him. “ Do you hear anything from Vanessa? Do you know where I c
“ Hey! You promised!” She banged the Door really hard. “ I shouldn’t have tell you anything!” She turned around and saw the Assistant trying to hold back his laughter and she went downstairs. “ You fool, Do you think I don’t know what you guys did?” She asked him Angrily. “ I did nothing” He said “ Really? Then I’ll expose you and Mary. Do you think my Maid won’t tell me anything? She saw you two taking Mara out of the house. An innocent man is in the Prison because of you, Be careful with Me or you’ll find yourself in the Court” She warned him and went to her room. “ Oh My God! She saw us? No no no, Mary must know this” He went to the kitchen but the girls weren’t there and so he went to the Quarters. He called her out of the room and took her to the garden. “ What? I’m still a angry with you, you are cheating on me” she said and he sighed. “ This isn’t the time for this now, We are in trouble” He said and Mary Scoffed. “ You are in trouble alone” She said to him. “ Mandy know w
“ Yes Ma’am” She said and left the room. “ What! If this get out, Alfred might send me out of the house” She sat down on the bed and sighed deeply. “ I shouldn’t have done this. But it was just to teach her a lesson” Mandy said , She lay down on the bed but couldn’t sleep that night. --Next morning, Alfred was up as early as 6:30am. He Took his bath, Change in to a suit and left the room holding his Phone. He wanted to give Derek a call but didn’t because he knew Derek might tried to hide Mara and Vanessa from him. Mandy came out of her room quickly when she heard him closed his room door. “ Alfred” She called and he paused “ What?” He asked Buttoning his sleeve. “ Alfred, there’s something I want to tell you” Mandy said and he sighed. “ I’m in a hurry now Mandy, We’ll talk when I return” He said going down the stairs. “ But it’s important, Please listen to me” She said holding his arm. “ Mandy, stop being a baby. I’ll come back later and we’ll discuss about it” He said and she
Few Minutes passed and Alfred didn’t show any sign of leaving, Derek checked the wall clock and it was already 8am which indicated Vanessa might be on her way back from jogging down the Estate. “ I don’t think she’s here” Alfred said in his mind, he opened his eyes and they fell on Derek who was staring at him. “ I have to go now, I can see you’re Busy” He stood up and Derek shook hand with him. “ Please Tell me when you find Vanessa and Mara” Derek pleaded Worriedly and Alfred smiled. “ I will, I know how you’re feeling” He said and Derek nodded his head. He opened the Door for Alfred and he walked out, Derek didn’t mind walking him to the Car because he wasn’t ready for any heartbreak if Alfred sees Vanessa coming back. He closed the Door and took in a deep breath. “ What should I do if he sees her?” He stamped his feet on the floor. He was still in the state when the Door opened, he turned around thinking it was Alfred who had returned back again. “ Hey Derek” Vanessa Enter
Derek Entered the room as soon as Vanessa came out of the bathroom carrying Mara. He wasn’t looking happy and Vanessa raised a brow. “ What?” She asked him. “ Someone’s looking for you outside” He said. “ Who?” Vanessa asked him. “ You remember that man that Scammed you right?” He asked. “ Alfred’s Uncle” She said and Derek nodded his head. “ Yes, he’s in the sitting room waiting for you” Vanessa was surprised and confused on what Could have brought him to the house and wondered who told him where she was living. “ You said he’s in the sitting room right?” She asked him and he nodded his head. “ I would have tell you to go inform him I’m not living here had it been you haven’t let him in” Vanessa sighed. “ I tried to but he caught me off guard” Vanessa sat on the bed cleaning her wet hair with a towel. “ Okay, go tell him I’ll be right there shortly” She said and he walked out. “ What could have brought him here? I just hope it’s not something that have to do with My Daughter”
She was confused and surprised at the same time, she wondered who could have given her that money out of the blue. Is it Alfred? She wondered. Derek Took the Cheque from her to be sure of the figures he was seeing. He looked at The Uncle who was smiling with his eyes widened. “ What is this?” Vanessa asked and he moved closer. “ It’s a cheque. I’m sure you are not blind” He said and she Chuckled. “ A cheque from who?” She asked him and he looked at Mara again.. “ It’s a cheque from My Mum, Alfred’s Grandma. She wants you and that thing over there…” Vanessa interrupted him. “ She have a name, her name’s Mara” She said sternly. “ Okay, She want you and Mara to Stay away from Alfred’s life, stay away from our family or else…” He paused. “ Or else what? Get rid of us” She completed. “ Yes, you are so smart. I’m sure that money would last you tears and years.” He said and Vanessa Chuckled.. “ It’s not enough” She said. “ Are you kidding me? Have you ever seen a thousand dollars before?
“ That girl is a clout, I don’t think she have a real Reason. She only did that to show up” He said but Grandma Giggled. “ What did she said when you gave her the cheque?” She asked him. “ She Was shocked when I gave it to her but then tore it in to pieces and threw them on my face. She said the Money wasn’t enough” Grandma’s eyes widened, she Couldn’t believe what she just heard from her son. “ She said the money wasn’t enough?” She asked him and he nodded his head. “ Yes Mum” He said. “ Then Add Something to it and take it back to her, I’m sure she would accept it this time” She stood up from the chair and he followed her inside. “ But Mum, Don’t you think the money is even too much for her? I just think you should send her out of this city” He said after they have sat down on the cushion on the floor. “ We’ll try again until she accepts the money” She handed him another chaque again and he Sighed. “ Okay” He said and looked around the room. “ Mum, don’t you think it’s Now tim
“ Ma’am, are we leaving?” She asked Mandy who was fuming in Anger. “ Yes we are leaving, I was so stupid to believe Alfred would listen to me. I wanted to tell him what we did and seek for his forgiveness but he didn’t even care to listen to me” She said in Anger. “ But why would you tell him?” Mona asked and Mandy sighed. “ I just want to clear our names, We only drugged them and put them to Sleep. His Assistant and Mary were the ones that took little Mara” Mandy said sadly. “ I’m So glad He didn’t listen to you” Mona heaved a sigh of relief. Mandy turned to her, she couldn’t believe she was talking to her maid that way.. “ Excuse me? Repeat what you just did now” She said. “ I’m sorry Ma’am, I think it’s a Good thing he didn’t listen to you. Don’t you think he might do something awful if you tell him now? He haven’t found Mara and Vanessa, Maybe it would be better if you Wait until he found them” She said and Mandy agreed with her. “ You are right, I was so stupid. But still,
“ 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
