Becca walked into the party an hour after driving all the way down.
She was. She was very determined to see her daughter, but first she had to go look for Elena since she had gathered information that Elena was more close to Aella.
Blythe also accompanied her to the party with the aim of seeing Aella, whom he didn't know was Becca's daughter that she was looking for.
He somehow never remembered to ask about her name or anything.
Blythe didn't even know why he thought he was going to be able to see Aella at the party; he never knew why he felt like he was going to be at the party. He walked around and soon got a dribble for himself.
“Hey handsome!” A gorgeous-looking lady walked up to Blythe.
“This always happens!” He muttered to himself and welcomed her back.
“Hi young lady!”
Aella wasn't someone who loved the attention, but if it came from Damien, she would gladly receive it.He kissed her again, cupping her face softly.“Have I told you how soft your lips are?” He whispered into her ears.She blushed red on hearing his compliment.“It's now time for the dance!” Damien concluded, and everyone started to make their formations, with Damien and Aella being in the middle of it all, of course.“I know I took this dress off you today, but I won't fail to say you look breath-taking in it!”. Damien complimented Aella as they danced slowly.“What else did you take off that I looked good on?” Aella responded.His eyes widened in surprise.“Careful, I can end this party so we can undress again!” Aella giggled.The dance soon ended, and they had a break. Just when the dance was ending, one of the workers rushed in to beckon on Aella.“There's a ladu in the garden, and I think she's in trouble!” One of the female workers goes to Aella.Immediately the dance ended. Da
Aella and Damien reached the room, and he shut the door behind him.“What was that?” Aella voiced, pacing around the room, trying to decipher the little chaos she just witnessed, and words were said.That could not possibly be her father.The way he looked.And…“Maggie told me my father was dead; Grandma told me too!” Damien walked up to her, seeing that she was already stressed.“Hey, hey!” He pulled her into his chest softly.“Calm down, Aella, just sit first!” He pulled her down to sit on the edge of the bed.Aella felt really uncomfortable from within.She immediately stood up again, this time undressing.She grunted and pulled angrily on the dress, but Damien held her still.“I know you want to!” Her eyes were filled up with tears.He pulled her into a hug, and she just sobbed.“What was all that, what was that? Everyone saw that, almost everyone at the party; even if it isn't true, people are so filled with lies, they will tell!”.“They won't, Aella, I promise you!” She sobb
It took the strength of almost all the guards to take this man out. Becca just stared in disgust and annoyance after he had left. They retreated back into the party that was almost ending.“I need to know what all of that is about.” Elena demanded.Becca took a deep sigh.“I'm going to excuse you both, ma'am!” Blythe excused himself and left the two women to discuss.“That is unfortunately Aella's father!” Becca confirmed that all that the man was spilling was true.“How is he like that?”“As it seems, I think he went bankrupt due to Maggie's influence back then, and since then, he's been really unstable!” Becca explained.“Then what are you going to tell her? She wants answers, and Aella is very...“Stubborn, curious; I honestly can see tha
It was a beautiful dawn in the arms of each other; both lovers slept peacefully and warmly cuddled up all through the night. Damien woke up from his calm sleep to a call on his phone.Aella was still very much asleep; he immediately looked around for his phone on the bedside table beside him.“An unknown number?” he thought to himself.He picked it up after hesitating for a while.He stood up and excused himself to the bathroom, not wanting to wake his beloved wife.Grumpily, he voices on the phone.“Hello!” There was a five-second silence before a lady spoke up from the other end.“Hi….. Damien!”.“Who is this?” “It's so good to hear your voice again; I can't believe it's you!” The lady exclaimed with joy.“What?” “Take a wild guess!” She teased.Damien was not a morning person; as a matter of fact, he hated talking in the morning; he just always wanted a very slow morning to begin with.“Does this person realize it's 6am in the morning?”.“I'm not a morning person; can you please
Her eyes flung open, and she realized she had just had a nightmare—a terrible one at that. Her heartbeat ran fast at the speed of light; she was terrified to her core. She soon started to relax, seeing that she was now in the real world facing reality.Who could have thought that the harsh realities that the real world brought to her doorstep would be more cherished than the crazy nightmare she just had? She took time to soak in the real world as if it were going to be her last time in it; she was even very afraid to close her eyes, a normal thing for every human to do, but for Marie at this moment it felt like torture; she could still see the very little details in that dream.Taking in her reality and surroundings, she soon understood that she wasn't in her own reality, or, let's say, she wasn't in the usual reality she woke up to every morning.Marie woke up every morning and faced the same hell of a routine again; secretly, she was already sick of her own life.She slowly raised
Aella got out of bed wondering if she had done anything wrong or maybe he was just in a bad mood. She had always known Damien was not a morning person, but that morning she just did the same thing she had been doing for some weeks now, just a simple "hey,” and that was it.She also doesn't look loved talking in the morning, but not as bad as not being able to greet, not just anyone but the man she claims to love, a man called her husband..She slowly got out of bed and hurried to the bathroom. Recently, due to her pregnancy, she had been visiting the toilet way often;; her bladder became fuller almost every time.She still hadn't told her husband that she was pregnant for some reasons she thinks itit is not yet the right time.Aella had no plans for the day; she was just going to stay home and probably sleep throughout the day.She was in her first trimester, and that meant she needed to also go for antenatal.Gracefully, she got dressed and was ready for the day.Seeing her talk to h
One of the things about being a mother is your mother instincts; it just tells you that something is going in either right or wrong.Becca couldn't sleep throughout the night; her eyes would always shoot up every time she tried to catch a sleep. She turned round and round till she couldn't turn anymore.“Maybe I need a shower!” She thought to herself, with her feet carrying her to the shower where she had a warm bath. It was winter, of course; having a shower in the middle of the night with ice-cold water would only mean that you are trying to freeze.Stepping out of the bathroom, the cold gush of wind hit her skin, telling her that she made a nice decision of having a warm bath. She dried herself up and walked back to bed.Becca had one routine in her life ever since she was a teenager. When she woke up in the middle of the night, she prayed and then went back to sleep. As usual, she kneeled on her knees and prayed before returning back to sleep, which in a short while she dozed off
There are some truths that hit you so much in the core that you just want to break, fall over, cry, or just blackout out of reality.This was the kind of truth that hit Aella that just made her want to blackout of reality. The reality that her father was still out there and recognized her even though she didn't know how to feel about all of it.Was it the way he looked very unkept, or was it the way he looked like he was lying to get himself into her life??How did Maggie then enter the picture???All of these questions ran through her mind, seeing that everything was going to change.She had been living with this reality for over ten years of her life.So then doesn't her brother Collins have the right to know about it??Becca noticed the silence on Aella's end, and this was very much expected.“This will definitely take you time to process, but grandma, your father's mom, decided to tell you these stories to protect you instead, because Aella, everything was messed up!”.“But how,
Aella was swept off her feet more than she could have imagined, but not by someone she had thought. She decided she was not going to think about Damien or anything that has to do with him, or literally anything that is tied to his being.She didn't want to think about it. as much as she knew this was the happiest she had ever been since they got married.The least she could do for herself now was to stop ruminating about the past, not when she was starting to come back to being herself. This was the gift to herself, and this was more like the best gift ever. She will stop thinking about him and focus more on understanding herself; she was planning to get a divorce sooner than later. She wanted to be totally free so she could start living again.She's sat in the car; it's a new hair and a her new self. As they rode across the city, she looked back at Blythe, who seemed to be very happy and seemed to be thinking of something that made him smile every second. She looked away from his fac
Just the right amount of sauce to make him look like God's sent. She stared at Blythe, who just unconsciously did the cutest things. There were times he talked to himself, there were times he just glared out the window, or there were times where he just picked up the salon magazine and read it, and his expressions whenever he came across something controversial made him the perfect partner to give your work the gist.Blythe had taken the initiative to get Aella a snack after every hour at the salon he got her milkshakes and takeouts.“Here's some for you!” Blythe voiced handing over the takeout box to her.By this time she had just started to make her hair; she had first gotten into washing it and then styling it.“Thank you!” She smiled, and he walked back to his seat.“That's an intentional mannn!" The hairstylist teased her as Blythe fully walked away.Aella didn't know what to think, nor did she know what to say to the hairstylist.“He's just my friend!” Aella responded with a smi
He paced back and forth as he struggled to keep to himself for the past three weeks—nothing from her—nothing to keep his feelings in check, not even her green light.It was every risky to go visit her in her workplace, as he appeared to be a potential threat to Damien, especially when Damien was the reason for this whole mess in the first place.He picked up his phone for the billionth time trying to place a call to her and explained things well enough to her. But he couldn't; he couldn't bring himself to explain the truth of the whole matter to her; that would not only end him; it would also end their whole family name and career. The way they had left things off, they knew Marie would probably see him as a bad person or worse, a monster that didn't deserve to live.Seth had always wished he wasn't born into the family he was born into, and quite true, he didn't like it there, but ever since he met Marie, he had wished more for that prayer to come to pass than ever before.He felt c
"Well, I must say you look absolutely beautiful." Blythe complimented Aella as he opened the car door for her.Aella had never had alone time with Blythe before; spending the whole day with him felt so illegal, but she knew she had to leave her room at least once so she wouldn't rot away in misery.She had thought about it all so much that she didn't want to think about it anymore; she just wanted to start living life again.The life she had thought she could live with Damien, but it turns out that she couldn't.It's funny how the same life she craved for was the same life God had helped her package with her mom; she could live freely and not depend on anyone.For the first time, she smiled, and that smile was genuine.“And I must say you don't look bad yourself!”. Aella responded with a soft voice.Seeing her smile is his delight, and he wanted more of it to happen. He kicked the car to a start, and they started their little journey.Aella wasn't used to engaging in conversations wit
Yes, maybe there were people out there who hurt you real bad, but you need to understand that they shouldn't make you stop loving; you just choose to love yourself enough to love them and not overlove them, so you know when to leave or when to live by grace, just like you would give yourself a voice when necessary.Aella had left Vollini and Becca in the living room to discuss while she just went to her roomma. DN just wallowed.She cuddled up in her bed and just stared out the window. She watched as the snow fell lightly; she could think of nothing else than just...Her baby…Damien was no longer on her mind; she couldn't really care less; he had done what he had to do, and he had done his worst already.If he cheated, it really wasn't any of her business; the only thing she blamed herself for was staying that long trying to take her power back.She sighed again, giving the fact that she had so many things planned out for herself and her baby.She looked down at her phone and realize
Chapter 139“Just when you thought you had it all, there another shows up to be the worst."Collins paced back and forth in the living room of Becca's house as he wanted to tell Becca about how unruly Damien had been to his sister. Aella wasn't in the midst of all these; they had allowed her to be alone for a while in her room, which they made sure to check on her on a few occasions.“Does he ever think at all, like why is he being the animal that he delivered me from, why is he being like that forsaken dude called Seth?" Collins raged again.Truthfully, he hadn't known his sister's case until they got home from the hospital, and immediately he heard it took the strength in Becca to keep him grounded and not go to confront Damien.Collins had just arrived at the right time.Becca was instantly notified of how inseparable Collins and Aella are; she saw how much love they both have for each other, and she is more than willing to love them both.But she wondered who this sort of guy Coll
Just at the beginning of dusk, there was a man who you would consider lonely due to his demeanour and the way he looked so unlikely, he looked destabilised he look tormented like he had from NS fetching out his should price by piece. He suddenly realised how much he had taken from her ,how much thing he had stolen and as much he was willing to give it back, he knew he wasn't in the right position to go ve it because initially je had stolen it from her.Damien stood on the highway his car parked by the side of the road as he stared AFR off into the distance his eyes fixated on something -the city lights but his eyes wasn't on them his eyes were remembering and capturing something's that would shine as bright as the city lights.Her eyes Over time he realised that he had witnessed how the glow in her eyes disappeared each was eryryutme he became an asshole, every time he decuded ti step down from being a man to bueng a toddler.He heaved a deep sigh as the whole guilt pulled a weight i
Not all that glittered seems to be gold... But for Damien, his vomit seems to glitter like gold and looks like the most beautiful diamonds from the outside.As he dropped Aella in the hospital, he turned back and went back to work. He didn't bother to ask what happened to her or what might happen to her; he asked then if she was going to be fine, and they said definitely the rest if it was none of his business, but unfortunately enough, they told him as much as he didn't want to hear about everything the doctor called him as he got to the office.The doctor's call came through as he was about to enter his office. On getting into the office, he noticed that Amelia was no longer in the office, including her bag and all. He answered the call and settled down.Luckily, the doctor happened to be his friend!!!“Hey Corniel!” He voiced over the phone, rearranging his fiel and just getting ready to head home.“You seemed to be in a hurry; was there something that came up?” Corniel asked as t
Sometimes things aren't always as they seem, sometimes it's the opposite and sometimes it's true but sometimes it's just complicated.But for Aella it was exactly what it seems like, Damien was slowly bringing in his ex into their marriage to replace her and guess what??She wanted it that way…At least with that she was out of the marriage and out of his life.“What was what?” She asked, popping a lollipop in her mouth.“Hmm, nice strawberry flavour!” She thought to herself after the full taste of the lollipop filled her mouth.She honestly didn't care about the useless and unrecognised tantrum Damien was throwing in fact nothing was going to make her care in this world, and If there's a next, she wouldn't even beat an eyes“That nonsense you did back there you thought was funny, what if everyone believed you?” “Why wouldn't they believe me, none of it was a lie” Aella shruggedAella scater so many months still wondered why Damien's lying capability still shook her,,.“Why does he l
