“Daniel, relax. It’s not what you think. I…” before she could even finish speaking, he grabbed her by the hair as he stared at her.“How many more secrets are you going to keep from me, Kathryn? Tell me, how much more are you going to keep shocking me? How much more are you going to keep reminding me that I don’t seem to know anything about you? Just show me your true color, Kathryn. Stop being a camellion and show me the real you.” He told her, and she shook her head.“Daniel, at least listen to me, let me explain. I…”“Come on, explain. I want to hear everything. Maybe it’s time that I came to know the truth because I’m tired, I’m tired of getting hurt over and over again, because for some reason, I find out that I know nothing about the woman I love.” He told her, and tears started to stream down her cheeks on hearing him say those words to her.“So you still love me Afterall. Daniel, you…” he raised his hand, preventing her from completing her statements.“Let’s not even get start
She rolled her eyes as she turned on the bed. “What see you doing here, Daniel? Didn’t I already say I’d get your files for you? Didn’t I tell you that my mum would….” Before she could even finish speaking, he cut her off.“We both know she’s not your birth mother, Kathryn, so stop…”“She doesn’t have to be the one who birthed me before she’s my mum. If she gave me life, if she stood by me and gave me a listening ear when no one else did, she’s more than worthy to be my mum. Daniel, I need to rest. Please leave.” She told him, and he chuckled.“For weeks, you’ve been doing your best to try and talk to me. You’ve being putting up with everything I’ve done to you, and now that I’m actually willing to listen to you, you don’t want to talk to me? How ironic.” He said, and at that moment, she could feel the tears start to well up in her eyes.She took in a deep inhale as she stared at him. “It’s like you said, Daniel. I’ve been throwing myself at you for weeks, but you didn’t listen, and n
She wiped her tears as she shook her head, staring at him, shocked. “You? How did you know about…”“The day you left the meeting, I followed you. I have being keeping tabs on everything you’ve being doing, and the other day, I had myself tested to see if I was a match for her, and turns out, I was.” He told her, and she stared at him, shocked.“You’re willing to donate a kidney to her even after everything that I did to you?” She asked him, and he smiled as he moved closer to her.“I know the truth now, Kathryn. I know that whatever you did, you didn’t do it for money like I thought you had. You did it because you were a mother. You did it because you wanted to save your child.” He told her as he took her hand in his.The tears she was trying hide to fight in streamed down her cheeks more freely. “Daniel, I’m sorry, and I swear, for the rest of my life, I’ll be grateful to you for saving Kathryn. I’ll make it up to you, I…” he shook his head.“Kathryn, you might not have being the one
Seconds, minutes, and even hours had passed, and the light in the operating theatre still hadn’t gone off. Tanya held on to Kathryn as she patted her hair.“It’s going to be fine, the both of them will be fine.” She told her as she handed her a glass of water. “Here, have this, you haven’t eaten all day.” She told her, but she shook her head.“No mum. I don’t want to have it. Kathy and Daniel haven’t eaten all day too. Mum, my daughter is in there, and I don’t know how everything is going. Until I know they’re alright, I won’t be able to rest easy.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks, and Tanya smiled as she pulled her to herself.“I’m telling you, everything is going to be fine, and trust me, Kathryn. Your life is going to get better from now on. I promise you.” She said, and Kathryn embraced her tightly.“I hope so, mum. I really do.” She said as tears streamed down her cheeks.While she embraced her mum, tears streaming down her cheeks, the lights in the operating theatre s
She took in a deep inhale as she closed her eyes. “For years, I’ve kept this story to myself. I’ve never shared it with anyone but mum. It hurts me whenever I remember it, but maybe it’s time I said it because how would I heal when I know I still haven’t recovered from the past?” She spoke as she wiped her tears, and he stared at her.“What happened twenty years ago?” He asked her, and she closed her eyes as more tears streamed down her cheeks.“I was born to a very poor family, my parents barely owned anything, and my mother, she was a woman who worked very hard to provide for all of us. She made sure that the four of us, me, her, my dad, and my elder sister, Elma didn’t lack anything. She was a very busy woman, and since she had to work so much for her to fend for our needs, she was never home. She kept us in the custody of our father who didn’t have a job. His only job was to take care of us since she was the one doing all the work, but he couldn’t do that, and instead of actually
His eyes widened in shock as he stared at her. “That’s a lie, you’re joking.” He told her, and she shook her head as she stared at him.“I’m not. My sister was already nine at the time, and it felt like her condition was just getting worse. Okay, you’re not my real parents, where are my real parents? I used to ask them, but no one answered me, they just kept making our lives a living nightmare, and looking at Elma, the sister who saved me many times, she was getting worse. It was like she could barely even talk, and that was when I made a decision, I needed to take my sister away from there.” She told him as she wiped her tears; and he stared at her.“Weren’t you just seven?” He asked her, and she nodded as she chuckled.“I was just seven, but I also couldn’t stand seeing my sister who’d given me life die slowly. We had nowhere to go, but one thing was certain: we couldn’t keep staying at that house. For months, we were on the run, barely surviving because we didn’t have any money or
“They found the both of you?” Daniel asked, shocked, but she chuckled.“No, it was some women. They had heard her screams while she delivered and they decided to help us, but then, after everything that had happened, I didn’t think I could trust anyone. I didn’t think I would be able to let those women help me, but then, Elma, she had a good heart, and she didn’t want the baby to die. She was already bleeding badly, and we had no choice but to go with the women.”“Don’t tell me they were part of the…”“No, they weren’t, but I never got to see my sister again.” She said as she smiled weakly, and he furrowed his eyebrows.“What happened to her?”.“Elma, you’ve got a beautiful baby here, she’s so cute.” Kathryn told her sister who was barely awake.Elma smiled weakly as she took a sixteen year old Kathryn’s hand in hers, rubbing it slowly as she smiled weakly. “She’s not my baby, Katrina. She’s yours.” She said, and Kathryn’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at her.“My baby? What do
Days had passed since the surgery, and both Daniel and Kathy seemed to be doing well. More than anyone, Kathryn was happy, and that was because her daughter was better now, she wouldn’t have go through the same pain that her sister had gone through, and she also wouldn’t have to be separated from her.On the other hand, she was also very happy that after two years, she was finally forgiven by Daniel. It seemed like her life was falling into place, until one day, while she was busy with work, Kathy walked up to her.“Momma, are you busy?” She asked her, and Kathryn chuckled as she pulled her closer to herself.“Tell me, when have I ever being too busy for you?” She asked as she tucked her hair behind her ear, and Kathy chuckled as she stared at her.“I’m so sorry, momma, but I just have a quick question to ask.” She said, and Kathryn stared at her, tears streaming down her cheeks.She slowly wiped the tears that were now forming in her daughter’s eyes as she stared at her. “Kath, are y
