came back home with Daniella after spending half an hour talking with her at the eatry. She had something good to say about each other, and as much as I didn't want to talk about it; I became rather intrigued to know more.." Gena, you have a parcel". I had just come back with Daniella, when Joshua, the security guard standing outside the house, went inside his security office and handed me a small parcel..." What parcel..... Who sent it????" I asked him but he didn't seem to know who might've brought it. Daniella encouraged me to take them inside the house with me, I listened to her and then took the parcel to my bedroom. I thought Ethan must've sent more gifts to me, but nevertheless, the minute I opened the parcel, I saw a tiny dead bird along with a threatening note. Who might've done this? I said and then closed up the parcel , along with the note and the dead bird..I informed the entire family, Daniella and Adam took it as a mate prank, however, Mrs Rita and Mr woods didn't th
Everyone at home was devastated when they learned the news. Mrs Rita remained silent and refused to speak with anyone, even when I tried to get her to say something. She just looked at me and kept mourning Mr Woods. What if I thought she was a complete mess? Daniella was far worse than her mother; she refused to eat, and everyone at home panicked and feared for her and her child's safety."Good Morning." I smiled as I walked into her bedroom. Adam previously requested that I speak with her. I did not want to reject his offer because Daniella refused to listen to me." Gena, what do you want?" Her expression indicated that she was unhappy and did not want to talk to me. After all, she had just lost her father, and everyone, including herself, was devastated by the news."Please, you must eat, if not for yourself then for your child." I approached her with the food Adam had asked me to bring along. She looked at the tray and decided it was exactly what she wanted; she did not say it, bu
I returned home that same night and went straight to my room. I put Amber in her crib and went into the bathroom to freshen up for the evening. I was getting ready for the night when Adam sent me a distressing text message. He informed me that his brother was returning home tomorrow morning and that I should prepare.The next morning, I dressed Amber and brought her downstairs to meet her father. Simon had just returned from the police station with Adam, and he was overjoyed and emotional about his daughter."Good morning, Gena". His gaze shifted away from our daughter and settled on me..."Good Morning, Simon." I said after a strange pause in the middle of my statement. He smiled and then left with our daughter, and I felt relieved to see him after months of enduring his manhandling behavior toward me. "Hi, are you okay?" Daniella approached me and inquired after seeing the expression on my face. I smiled at her question and replied, "Yeah! "I have never been better." I went into the
We all had to listen to Simon banter words with his brother concerning their father's last wishes. He was so sure that someone had paid the lawyer to alter dad's dying wish, but no one really thought so.. Simon was never a good son and neither was his mother, Mrs. Edwina..Speak of the devil, she came and Simon told her everything. Immediately, her face became murderous, she wanted to murder Mrs Rita for taking her husband away from her, and as funny as that sounded, no one said anything to her and we just watched her as she continued venting her misfortune.." You killed my husband". She continued as she blamed Mrs Rita for the unfortunate demise of Mr woods.." I don't know what you're talking about, go away ". Mrs Rita politely asked her, though she was a little bit sassy in her statement...Simon got offended and he confronted Mrs Rita. He kept on talking about her , but that daniella stepped forward and she took over the conversation. She had a lot to say to Simon and his mother
The following morning, I woke up and realised that Ethan had left. He was supposed to leave, I wouldn't want anyone seeing him leaving my bedroom in the early hours of the day. I freshened up and came downstairs for breakfast, Daniella was also just arriving when I came, she looked a little bit exhausted; and why wouldn't see when everyone at home has decided to go made." Good morning". She said to us seated at the table.. I smile at her and then offered her the chair beside me..She was served by Sarah and just as she was about to place her hand on top of the table, I noticed tiny sharp objects on her own side of the table. " Wait!". I said in panic, and she paused her hand on air. I came to her side of the table and picked up one of the sharp items I saw, everyone marvelled by the discovery called Sarah and started interrogating her.. Sarah swore that she didn't know what happened and how those things got there, I believed her and that was because, anyone who would want to kill D
Adam POV Meeting Ethan and Gena at the ice cream shop was unexpected. Anna and I have been apart for over a year, but she still believes that we have a chance together, so I wanted some alone time to talk to her. How can I let her know that Daniella is the only person I want? We are already engaged to one another and will soon tie the knot.Hello sweetheart, good morning. How did your meeting go? Daniella appears to be in an edgy mood, and I just entered the room. She continued to inquire, and the more she spoke, the more it became clear that Gena had told her what had transpired at the ice cream shop."All right, why are you asking?" I was reluctant to answer since I did not want to tell her a lie."All right, I just wanted to ask." After she arrived, I put my hand on her growing belly. "We have missed you." In reference to herself and our child, she said. Mrs. Rita was attempting to make herself a cup of coffee in the kitchen when I was excused to freshen up and went downstairs for
I discovered that today is supposed to be the day for the family to discuss Dad's funeral as I was heading to the office the next morning. Although I should be at work, I can not rely on my mother and brother to keep the peace in the house and not tamper with things."Good morning, family." I came down to greet everyone with a smile."How are you, sweetie? Good morning." In an attempt to touch my face, Daniella lifted her head above her head. She touched my chin with her hands as I leaned in close.Just before I sat down with the family, Sarah informed me of Anna's visit. She approached and whispered to me that I needed to get up and go outside. Daniella was curious about what was going on, even though she did not want to know, as I was leaving.Howdy, what is going on?" I took Anna by the hands and shoved her outside."Hey! I came so we could have a conversation. Before Daniella entered, she lifted her hand and nearly reached for my face."Why is she in this place?" The visit from An
The following morning, I took a few cash to the buriel house and paid for both dad's and Simon's buriel ritual. Till now mom hasn't eaten, and neither has she spoken to anything inculding myself..After paying the burial house I came back home, I was just getting inside when I heard Sarah screaming from one of the rooms. The way she screamed felt like something bad happened, but then again as I rushed upstairs to see, I was taken aback by the scene of my mom while she was attempting to kill herself.I asked Sarah and the others to leave while I speak to her alone. I walked inside her bedroom and spoke to her.." Do you really want to kill yourself?". I stopped walking near her as I asked..." Yes, I want to go and meet my son". She replied to my question and then grabbed the knife. I grinned and watched her, honestly ; I was a bit worried that I was going to sit idly and watched my mom murder herself. But nevertheless, she stopped the moment I manipulated her into taking that I'd miss
The following morning, I went downstairs for breakfast. Everyone in the family were all seated there when Clara came and she happened to be holding hands with Chris. At first, I did not want to freak out; but nevertheless, that failed when grandmother decided to give us the shocking news of her grandson and Clara's alliance. " Whoa! When did that happen?". She asked me. I didn't know what to say, I just laughed and quietly continue with my breakfast. Everyone at home congratulated Chris and Clara for their engagement, and not once did Chris try to have a conversation with me. Although, I made the attempt but he wasn't letting me near him; it was almost as if he was intentionally ignoring me. I couldn't tell what was happening, and so I recruited Amber's help to figure out what was going on, however in exchange for that to take place, she asked me for the truth and being so desperate and needy for a solution, I had to tell her about my relationship with Chris. I thought that she w
Clara came home the following morning, she and I haven't been the best friend ever since I Caught her sleeping with my boyfriend, it was so annoying that we fought and ever since then, I haven't spoken to her. We might not be friends, but her and Chris were best of friends when we were growing up as children. " Good morning, grandmother?". She arrived at the house and also had to bring along a homemade pie, she never comes over without bringing something from me, she must not have been the one that baked it, I know when someone can't Cook. " How are you, my dear" grandmother was estatic to see her at home. I don't know if it's just myself, but grandmother has always loved for her grandson to get Married to Clara, and now that she's here, she might begin to assume that her dreams might have come true .She joined us for breakfast, grandmother had her favourite meal prepared by the maid's, it was so annoying and unsatisfying, watching her act like she was the only one that mat
Ella POV Since my conversation with Chris, I've had this feeling that I wasn't ready to birth a child, and that I needed to get rid of it. What other way to get rid of it like at the hospital. I visited a nearby hospital, I was alone and had no one to talk too. The nurses there called names one after another and the lady who had come to get rid of their child went in and without hesitanting. I stayed there for almost an hour and it was set time to walk inside the doctors office and schedule my appointment to terminate my pregnancy. I was about to go in when I heard, " Stop!! Don't do it". I turned back and it was Chris, what was he doing here and how did he find me? I intentionally didn't tell anyone where I was going too, how come he was able too find me and so quickly...." Chris, what are you doing here?" I asked him as he swiftly approached me and held my hand, " please, don't get rid of our child" he begged me. Right there in the hospital, everyone stopped whatever th
Preparations for dad and mom's death anniversary began as the entire family were given a specific tasks to do. I had to decorate the entire place and by that, I had to go out and buy my parents favourite flowers and use it to decorate the entire cabin, Ella and Gena had to take care of the guests list and the rest of the duties were divided amongst grandmother, aunt Gena and uncle Ethan. I came to the store and went straight to pick up the flowers I'd be needing, and that was when I bumped into Clara. She and I were friends during one of the summer breaks I'd come here with my parents _ it's been a long time and Clara seemed to have grown a lot and have finally gotten boobs. " Chris, is that you?". She stoped her shopping cart from moving. We both filled up the distance between us and I talked, " hey, how are you Clara, it's been a while". J smiled at the end of my statement, making sure that it wasn't weird or nothing..We talked for a while and also exchanged numbers, and dece
The following morning, I had such a messed up time in not getting upset with Ella's behaviour of last night, it was annoying and I wouldn't want to make matters worse by getting into a harsh confrontation with her. I changed into my outfit for the morning and then joined the family for breakfast, it was a quiet and quick meal; maybe because Ella and Gena were still upstairs sleeping in their bedroom, I want to be the one to tell the family the truth, I just can't begin to hold back the tears from Gena's eyes when I get to explain their daughter's behaviour. "Good morning, Chris". Uncle Ethan sat on the chair opposite me. " Good morning, uncle, how was your night?" I had simple chit chat with him, and we were talking when Ella and amber came down the stairs in their night gowns. Amber looked so horrible but she didn't compare the kind of facial expressions Ella had on her face. I could still remember her behaviour of last night, why did she have to kiss some random dude at my fr
The following morning, I was dressed up for school, and While everyone was trying to see what was happening, Ella and amber came downstairs and they were yet to get ready for school..Her mom asked Amber if she didn't want to attend school today, and while she was thought of the perfect like to tell her, ells came forward and she said that there was a public holiday. At first, I didn't want to believe her, but then again, it was later discovered that the government had given everyone a compulsory holiday for three days_ this is enough for Ella and amber to go crazy and act like something is wrong with their heads...Uncle Ethan and grandmother brought me to dad's office, on top of the table I saw documents and also a laptop that showed the financial statement of the company. .I knew what they wanted me to check, and so I grabbed my chair and sat down to the job.." If you need help, please do not hesitate this call either of us" grandmother said to me, she held Ethan's hand and they
The following morning, I came to uncle Ethan's House, grandmother has no idea where I'd be going too but she might as well figure everything out eventually. And not just that, Ella decided to tag along with me on my journey to my uncles house. " Good morning aunty?". We had just arrived at his house when aunt Gena opened the door for us. " Chris and Ella, what are you both doing here?". She asked, looking so surprised to see us this early in the morning. We should be in school right about now, but I can't just idly sit and watch things befall on my family .." I came to see , uncle Ethan.... Is he in?". I asked her, she nodded her head and then asked me to come with her. I left with aunt Gena to uncle Ethan's office room; Ella stayed behind and I could also tell that Daphne would be in the house.." Good morning, uncle". I entered into his office with a smile on my face. He smiled right back and then asked me if I had come for the meeting this early, Gena left us alone in the r
I got a chance to seek assistance from Ella, and that too without trying to bribe her. She was willing to take matters into her own hands by planing Keith's birthday party. At first, I didn't know the reason why she would agree to assist in planning a birthday party that she won't benefit from.." So, do you want something else?". I asked her and that was after we arrived at Keith's house. She didn't want anything apart from giving my friend the party of a century..I stayed behind as I watched them continue talking, Ella kept her bag in my possession and while her conversation with Keith seemed to be getting longer, her phone rang and it was from Fabian. I thought she didn't want to get married to him any longer, I wonder why she changed her mind? It took them almost two years to find talking, and after Ella had given Keith her vision board, we were set to leave and return home. At least, that was what I thought we were headed too until she asked the driver to stop and then b
The following day in school, I wasn't myself. I kept on remembering what had happened between Ella and myself, Keith and Josh saw the worried expression on my face and asked me about it, and as much as I would've loved to tell them the truth, I couldn't bring myself into telling that what I had just done with my adopted sister..." Hey! What is wrong, is everything okay?". Josh met me sitting alone in the cafeteria. Once again I couldn't bring myself to tell him the truth, i just had to make up a lie..We were there when Ella and her friends came, I couldn't tell what happened and neither did I feel right to sit down.." Hey, Chris.... what is wrong, are you okay!". Gena came over to my table and asked me. Ella was standing behind her and she was fully facing me, after everything that has happened between us; why doesn't she feel disgusted by the fact that we literally just had sex?.Josh had to stop his girlfriend from talking too much, he held her hand and specifically asked me t
