"Quit giving me that look!""Are you being serious? You are not going to go after her?" Nadia waved towards the door."What do you expect me to do? Can't you see that she truly wants to leave?""And you're going to let her leave? How dumb can you be, Connor?"He said nothing, made his way to the bar area, and topped his drink."Mom, Dad, are you all not going to say anything?""What do you want us to say?" Lilian voiced out in irritation."Sis, that girl is not in a good medical condition. She needs so much care and attention. She's not just going to give birth to any baby. That baby is going to be you all's Grandchild." Rita said to Lilian and Aaron."They obviously don't give a fuck! They want Diane so bad that they can't see the evil bitch she is." Nadia bluttered out."Watch your mouth, Nadia.""Hell no.""I respect you both so much but whenever the opportunity pops up to say the truth, I won't fail to throw it in everyone's faces.""Enough, Nadia!" Connor's hoarse voice came thro
The box was placed in the trunk of the car after which they occupied the driver's and front passenger's seat.Nadia drove out of the mansion, in the direction of the train station."Are you sure you are still going to get a ticket for tonight?""I hope so and if I don't, I'll stay there till the next one is available."Nadia nodded, with her attention on the road.After what felt like forever, the duo got to the station. Nadia parked her car, then escorted Nancy in. They went straight to the ticket table and fortunately, a train was leaving for her hometown in Fifty minutes.Nadia beat Nancy to it by paying for the ticket."Thank you." She said shyly."It's nothing. Let's get you something to eat before it's time.""I'm not hungry.""We can still get snacks. You'll take them on the train. It's a two-hour journey, remember?"Nancy nodded.They stopped by at the food store, and got a few things for Nancy after which Nadia pleaded with Nancy to go with her to a gadget store. Nancy sat so
Three Years Later!Nadia was in the kitchen, trying to put breakfast together for her family when her phone buzzed on the kitchen counter.She closed the cabinet she opened earlier, then went ahead to pick up her phone.She smiled upon seeing the Caller ID, before answering the call."Good morning, Auntie.""Good morning, my love. How's my favorite niece doing?""Great and you?""I'm doing amazing, Auntie.""What about Lenora and your husband?""We are doing good. Thank you.""Been a while we saw and spoke. But I'll be seeing you today right?""Today? What's happening today?" She sounded confused."Nadia!!!" Rita groaned from the other end."You know how much I take you seriously, Aunt Rita. I wouldn't joke with you if I knew what you were talking about.""Your Father's Birthday.""What about it?""It was two days ago. I sent him a text wishing him. And Charles sent him a gift on our behalf.""There's going to be a small party at the mansion this evening. Just family dinner. Your fath
Charles parked the car, turned off the engine and his wife still refused to unbuckle her seat belt.He sighed, unbuckled his seat belt, then turned his attention to her."I changed my mind. Let's go home."Charles frowned. "That must be a joke."She sighed, turning her attention to him. "You don't understand me, babe.""Then make me understand. I've got the time to hear your explanation. We've come all the way here. Why turn back at this stage?" He said, taking a glance at their daughter who was in the back seat, focused on her tab, watching cartoons."I'm really not in the mood to make conversations. I can see familiar cars and I'm stressed out already. Remember what the doctor said?""I know and I remember all that the doctor said. You of all people know that I wouldn't put your life in danger. I only want what's best for you, which is for you to reconcile with your family."Nadia didn't say anything.They all miss you, babe. Your mom literally asks of you from me over the phone and
Having no idea where she was going, Rita followed her. She went straight to the guest room closest to the living room. Rita continued to follow her. She got in and met her elder sister standing, facing the wall and crying her eyes out. "What's wrong, Sis?" She said, totally confused as she approached Lilian. Lilian said nothing but continued to cry. "Please talk to me, Sis," Rita said with a shaky voice. "Please if this is about Nadia, then I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I invited her over. I just got tired of it all so I invited her. I thought it would be a good thing if you all reconciled." "No, that's not it." "Then what is it, Sis? You are scaring me." Rita said, genuinely getting scared. The last time she saw her elder sister this pained and all over the place in tears was when their parents passed away. If there was anyone Rita knew to be a strong woman then it was Lilian. Seeing her this way, she honestly had no idea what to do or where to start comforting her. "I'm a terribl
Just a while ago, the focus was on Her and her mother's reunion as well as her baby bump. But now, She had all eyes on her.As dry as her throat was, Nadia slightly turned and took a glance at her husband who shrugged with a facial expression telling her she had to go with the flow.She mentally facepalmed again, wondering why her aunt, Rita, had to be really sensitive with every word that came out of her mouth."Yeah, if I remember correctly, Charles has two sisters, the married one has two daughters. Or your sister recently gave birth to a boy?" Lilian directed at Charles with a small."No. Michelle said she's done with childbearing and our last born isn't ready to settle down."Rita didn't say anything but continued to stare at Nadia suspiciously."Mama, where's your phone? Show Grandma Jayden's picture. Jayden is so cute and I love him very much.""Lenora..." Charles tried to caution their daughter upon seeing how nervous his wife was."Jayden is a friend's daughter whom Lenora go
Not only was Nadia shocked by the way her younger brother spoke, but she was also shocked by the accusation. She instantly turned her attention to where Connor was, confronting his wife.Rita, Aaron, Lilian, and Charles, who came back from the kitchen without Lenora also had their attention on themThe confused look on Diane's face was instantly replaced with a small nervous smile that crept to the corners of her lips."What do you mean, honey? I don't understand what you're talking about.""Don't mess with me, I'm not in the mood for any of your tricks tonight!" He groaned at her, throwing her a very deadly glare."But I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, I know Nancy. That psycho that wanted to force her way into your lif......"Nadia was about to defend Nancy but Connor beat her to it before she could move her lips to say anything."Shut the fuck up and answer the damn question. You had a hand in this. Didn't you?""Why are you accusing me of such rubbish? I don't know wha
"Enough, Connor!" His father cautioned. "We are all at fault here. What is needed now is the way forward." "I hope this isn't a setup. If this is some plan to get me to sign those divorce papers then you all are wasting your time because I'm not going to sign anything." "Divorce?" "What divorce papers?" Rita and Lilian said respectively while Nadia didn't look shocked at all. It was as though she saw that coming. As far as she knew, marriage was something that was supposed to bring happiness but in the case of these two confused people she was looking at, then it was the other way around. Noting that she was already on her feet for too long and her legs were aching, She quietly moved away and went to sit on the nearest couch. Sighting her daughter, Lilian protectively made her way to her side. "You okay dear?" She nodded with a small smile. "Been standing for long" she replied and her mother instantly understood what she meant. Diane rolled her eyes at the duo before turning h
