Seeing her in the meeting room just made him feel strange. He didn’t know how to feel, was he to feel happy that he was seeing her again after so long? Was he to feel happy that she was alive when he thought she was dead? Was he to feel angry that he would have to work hand in hand with her? Different thoughts filled his mind, and at that moment, it felt like all the hatred he was trying to build up for all those years was slowly disappearing. He clenched his fists tight, never, he would never let it happen. She had wronged him, and he would never forgive her for it.While she did her presentation, he was doing his very best to avoid staring at her. He was doing his very best not to look her way, but it seemed like the hardest thing in the world to do. He clenched his fists, what if she tried to talk to him after the meeting, what would happen then?He shook his head, she wouldn’t. She knew he hated her a lot, and he didn’t know if she had seen his interviews, but after the last ti
She rushed outside to find him, but she didn’t see him anywhere, and at that moment, she realized that his interviews weren’t fake, he really hated women, ones named Kathryn mostly.She wiped her tears as she walked to the car where Tanya had being waiting for her. “What took you so long?” Tanya asked her as she shut the door.She swallowed, “I’m so sorry, mum. I got caught up in something.” She said as she wiped her tears.As it was, Tanya was already very worried about her. The last thing she wanted now was to stress her even more. She took in a deep inhale as she turned to the driver. “Come on, let’s go.” She said, and just as the driver started the car, Tanya stretched her hand.“Where’s the file?” She asked, and at that moment, she realized that she didn’t bring the file with her.“Oh, I’m so sorry mum, I…”“Are you sure you’re fine? You took so long and you didn’t bring the file with you. Kathryn, talk to me. Is everything fine?” She asked her, and Kathryn nodded.“Don’t worry,
“Momma, tell me something.” Kathy said as she laid on the same bed as Kathryn.“Sure, what is it, baby?” Kathryn asked with a smile as she patted the little girl’s hair.Kathy smiled as she raised her head to stare at Kathryn. “Why do you love me so much?” She asked, and Kathryn chuckled as she stared at her.“What do you mean by that?” She asked, and Kathy sat upright on the bed as she took Kathryn’s hand in hers.“I’ve seen children who are maltreated by their parents, but you, if I’m to cough right now, you’re going to be unwell for the rest of the day, and that’s proof of how much you love me. Tell me, momma. Why?” She asked, and Kathryn chuckled as she carried the little girl in her arms.“Tell me, what did you just call me?” She asked, a smile on her face.“What do you mean?”“I mean, what am I to you?” She asked her, and Kathy chucked.“You’re my momma, and my best friend too.” She said, and at that moment, Kathryn cupped her face as she stared at her.“Exactly. So tell me, why
“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
