I managed to control the situation from escalating by promising to tell my son the truth when it was the right time and as a good son that he is, he left my bedroom and reminded me of my promises once again.The following day, I woke up and paid a visit to Hassan, I came to his apartment, knocked on the door and a girl putting on his jersey, came and answered the door. .." Who're you,?". Her response was rude and egoistic.."Where's Hassan, please call him for me". I wanted her to go in and inform Hassan of my arrival, but nonetheless, she was rather concerned about my relationship with her and it was starting to become annoying and I wasn't in the mood to listen to anymore of her tantrums ."Baby, who's there!".Speak of the Devil, he came outside and was surprised to find me in his House so early in the morning.."Sophia, what happened, is Ethan alright?". He was curious to know that Ethan was okay. " My son is right, but what did you tell hon yesterday?". I started the conversat
I spent the entire day, the next morning making sure that everything goes in place for the birthday celebration happening tonight, I had already ordered our attire from the store we usually shop in and also had the invitation sent to everyone in the contact list, but I made sure to take Tristan's and Gena's invite, specially to them.."Sophia, to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit". Gena came down after being informed of my visit to her home, I was hoping I'd meet Tristan, but it was evident that he wasn't at home .."Good morning, I came to specially Invite you to my Mother-in-law's birthday party tonight". I took out the invitation card and handed it over to her..She first looked at the card with a demure behaviour, and her nonchalant attitude was so sicking that I almost want to hit her on the head so bad."Fine! I'll inform my husband and we'll be there". She agreed without hesitation..It would seem I was paranoid for no good reasons, I had thought she wasn't going to a
The following day, Tristan and I continued to meet up, behind his Gena's back, he didn't want her knowing and causing a rift between the both of them. We couldn't meet in a crowded place and so we decided to meet at one of the exquisite hotels in town.."Thank you for coming". He offered me a glass of champagne in the room we lodged in. "It's no problem, I'm glad to be here". I said but my response was a little bit sly because I wouldn't want Gena nor anyone else in town spotting us together at the hotel.. They would believe me if I tell them the truth and I'd end up being tagged as the lady that wants to destroy another marriage as she has done to hers ."So! What do we do? ". Tristan put on the television in the room.The channel showing was a Romantic scene from the loved and well known telenovela movies, I and my mom binge watch sometimes.."How about a movie.... Can we?". I said, before he could switch it another channel, I wouldn't want to miss the scene of the century. "
Ethan went to school the following Day, while I went to the pharmacy for to pick up the pain relief drugs I ordered from home before coming here. I was there when I met with the doctor from the hospital, the same doctor that had his eyes fastened on Gena while telling us the predicament of her husband. "Good morning, doctor". I addressed him formally since this was the second time we were meeting and actually having a conversation.."Hey, you're Sophia right?". He called my name so easily..Anyone who passed would assume we were friends."That's me, but I was hoping I'd talk to you". I paused and waited for his response.."Talk to me, why do you ?". He answered my question by asking another..And I replied with an answer. "Because, I feel it's time to tell the truth .... ?". I stopped myself from saying more."The truth? I don't understand?". He took a step back and asked me. I saw the terror bodly shown on his face, it was evident to tell that he was starting to get scare
Elijah eventually agreed to help me, even though I didn't trust his words, he gave such a promising expression on his face that would entail that he wasn't making a spectacle of my predicament.."Sophia, welcome!!". .I came back to the mansion and the first thing I saw was my mom dragging a huge bag down the stairs. "Hey, mom, what are you doing?" I came forward and helped her with the bag. We managed to take it outside to the truck packed outside."I have a business with the women in town and we've all decided to give out our clothes to the less privileged people ,". She and I went back inside while the man from the truck came and collected the bag..We were talking when my mother-in-law rushed out from her bedroom and bumped into us.."Sophia, I need your help". She didn't say much as I was dragged to the car and taken to the hospital..I wasn't sure what I was expected to see, but it turned out to be Justin being hospitalised due to an accident.. "What happened to you?".
I met with Tristan in the evening at the same hotel, though I promised myself not to be upset anymore, I couldn't stop myself from asking him about it.." Hey, can i ask you a question?".I sat him down on the couch. "What do you want to know?" He entertained my rude behaviour and then I asked.."Did you have sex with Gena, because we met last night and she couldn't stop herself from talking about how good you were," I answered his question by asking another...He took in deep breaths and said."No, I didn't have sex with Gena " "Really? But she looked flushed when we saw at the grocery store ". It was impossible to believe a word he said, because by just looking at her face, she resembled someone who had just had done something crazy.."Trust me, I didn't and if she was looking exhausted, did you perhaps even if she was working?". He pinned my attention over the fact that she might've stressed herself, because of the sell of one of her many houses..I had to apologize to Tristan,
Her friends had no Idea where she was, they also attempted to phone her but it went straight to voicemail. I was starting to get worried and so was Ethan . we kept on driving around until we could any longer, we then had to go back home at least hoping for a good news from the rest of the family.Unfortunately, no one had any news about my mother-in-law and even when I told Justin to inform the police and send out a search party, he declined and yet again asked us to wait for the entire day. The more we stayed idly the more dangerous it gets, I was so upset and unsettled about the whole matter that I went and sort assistance from Tristan. I met Gena at home and judging by the look on her face, she wasn't excited to see me. ."Sophia, what do you want?". She said as she stopped me from entering Inside the house. "I want to speak with Tristan, is he home?". I asked her, and then ogled around with the chance to seeing him walking down the stairs. "No, my husband has gone out for
We came home and Ethan was still trying to explain himself to me, like , what exactly would he have said to safe himself from already being guilty?.."Mom! Come on, don't act like you have gone for a school party!" ..He laid calms Instead of apologizing to me.."Excuse me! What did you just say to me?". I tossed my bag on the couch and then confronted him for a response..He took his time before responding to me ." Mom, I'm sorry okay, I'm a man, I would respect it, if you gave me some space" That immediately escalated everything..I could not even phantom the fact that, it was my son, whom I birthed after nine month would stutur such a horrible word to me and not feel any remorse.."Wow! Indeed the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree" I giggled and then sent my eyes to Hassan.."Sophia, please calm down ". Hassan said, as he wasn't willing to tell the truth and not when Ethan's around. "What do you mean? What is happening...?"..Unfortunately, Ethan was curious to know the t
The entire day ran by with Richard demoting every of my comments, especially the one when Mrs Mathilda had asked me about how it feels getting engaged to a man like her nephew At first I did think of crushing Every ideal that had about Richard being a good husband material, however before I could even get a chance to speak, Richard rushed and diverted the conversation over to himself. Seated at the couch and after having dinners, I could literally count the times I heard Richard praising himself in the midst of both his uncle and aunt..Some few hours later, by nine in the evening, Mrs Mathilda walked both Richard and myself into the our bedroom_ I should have suspected that since we were about getting married, we'd literally be sharing a room together. We walked into one of the big rooms next to another with our bags."So, this is where you'd be sleeping, do you like it,?" Asked Mrs. Mathilda.."Yes ma'am, it's a lovely bedroom," I answered.When Richard walks behind, I turned a
I bearly got close whene he takes out a hand back and stopped me from approaching another step closer to his bench."What are you doing here, go away Beatrice,!" He spoke moving gestures at me.."No! I won't," I stepped a feet forward, " what do you think you're doing, why are you drinking,?". I asked when he turned back and latched out on my face.."Are you seriously asking me,!" He yelled getting up from the bench, he takes a feet forward my way but tripped over his other feet, he falls down hitting his hands on the ground."Hey, please be careful," I said as I tried to assist."Don't touch me Beatrice,!" He pulled his hands away from touching me..He leaned the other on the benches hand and got back up to his two feet."It's all your fault, you caused this,". He admits to my face, moving forward with his hands out to get me..I leaned back."What do you mean, because trust me I do not think I am the cause of everything, you're the entire reasons why your dad is hell bent on di
When we got down to from the car after reaching the office, I went first to meet Mr Smith, he turns and gave me an alluring smile as we both approached the door to the elevator that led to his office..Richard tells he had to pick up some documents by the finance department and so was the first person to leave_ Mr Smith and I went up and as we reached the second floor, he and I stepped out together_ I look while walking further to his office, Mr Smith had his hands tied on to the other, there was something definitely strange happening..We got to his office."Thank you, Beatrice," he tells going inside."You're welcome sir," I said moving past his office door, I was just some few steps closer to my office when I remembered I was still holding unto the documents he had asked me to bring along_ I turned going back to give him the document, I knock on the door and as I walked Inside, I met Mr Smith on the ground, shaking_ the way epileptic patients does ..Fear gripped me_ I throw away
We both reached home after the Photoshoot, I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water while Richard went up to his bedroom instead, I brought out a bottle water from its can and emptied it in a go, I turned back to Leave, I wasn't expecting to see anyone but I caught Mr Smith by the kitchen table, resting his hand to his head, and was looking right at me."Good day Beatrice, I see you're back,?" He puts his hand away but drops it on the table.."Good day sir, and yes I'm back,". I walked some few steps away from the fridge_ Mr Smith Shakes his head at me.."That's good and yes," he takes a look by the door checking to see if anyone was approaching before finishing his statement."I've been hoping to speak with you alone, Beatrice" he tells Me.."What exactly sir hope everything is okay,?" I said thinking out loud.."Yes ," he affirms, "however I've been wanting to say thank you for everything," he walks away from the kitchen table coming to me."Thanks for what sir,?". I asked."T
I went to my bedroom to change, a dress was already at my bed waiting for me, later I got downstairs on Mr Smiths behest, I walked down and went straight to the couch reserved specially for Richard and myself.I was the first to seat down, when Richard was forcedly pushed to the couch by his dad, Mr Smith gently careessed my cheeks before leaving."You're at fault for Everything happening," Said Richard as he blamed me for everything "I'm sorry, so I look.like I am enjoying everything that's happening,?" I slowly moved my mouth to his ears who he could hear me properly."Oh please," Richard grunt and pulls away from getting close to me, "you're mostly enjoying this,". He tells latching his eyes away..."You must be a Lunatic," I said and faced away from himAt the couch, Mr Smith later comes over, he held my hand and that is his son and walked both of us to the center of the party.He made us face the guests there and announced once again about the engagement.The rings was brough
After searching for Richard , and not a sign of him coming anywhere, it was getting late, like so late, I couldn't fit further to search for him again, I decided to go back home and maybe try to call him..I can count the time I phoned him,yet his number kept on sending me to voicemail.I wonder where he could have been?...The next morning, I slept sleeping at the center of my bed, just then , I overheard Mr Smith screaming, I didn't get to think two times about going down to see what was happening, I came downstairs and found him scolding his son..His grown up son_ Richard, who's head was bent down from his dad's angry gaze..."How can you be this stupid, have you lost your goddam mind,,?". Said Mr Smith as he approached his son, whacking his head_ Richard didn't take the chance to retaliate or even speak back to his father..He stood there allowing his dad to hit him countless times, what's happening?.. Mr Smith saw me approaching to his direction, he again slapped his son and f
I buried myself with work untill the entire day ended and it was time to head back home, Mr Smiths mansion..I left the office riding back with a cab, I came down walking inside, when I noticed the ongoing decorations around the entire mansion.I walked ahead, bumping into Richard. As usual he had this resentful look at me, but didn't quite say anything rude; even when I asked too know what was going on with the decorations.."There's going to be a party, dad wants you too attend also,".. he said and left going outside of the mansion Walls..Alone, I walked to my bedroom, I came inside and on my bed, there was a dress lying on it_ I approached and picked it up , when a tiny bite fell off from the dress_ I bent down and picked it up, having to see that Mr Smith had sent me the dress, at the note, he wanted me to attend the party dressed in the royal blue gown...Later that day, at the party, I came downstairs joining the others, I wore Mr Smith dress and as I approached him talking to
New pov Like my name , I'm regarded to be a flower, the colour of my family, my dad and mom, dad passed on some few months ago and it's left only mom and myself_ I see her longing to be with dad at every given opportunity, she almost had herself killed, accidentally falling down the stairs_ alone, I made up my mind to employ a maid that was going to take care of her, while I tackle my work_ Mr Richard's company, Richard is dad's godson, he is the definition of a rude and abrupt man, least I forget totally demanding.I still remember the day I went for an interview at his dad's company, Mr Smith had no complain in working with me and as his assistant_ definitely not his son, bit Richard held such a defense against it and almost made me loose the job, a Job I bearly started on.But Mr Smith being his calm and understanding self, he decided to over look his sons, nasty and childish behavior, he went further and handed the job of being his assistant to him_ PA. Personal assistant.I wa
My mom and I were given the visitors room to stay in, she thanked Mrs Sophia before letting her leave the room.."Are you sure about this?"..I had to let Mrs sophia leave the room before asking my mom..She keeps quiet and that occurs then there are no more ideas in her mind, she keeps calm and watch things happen..." Let's just get settled in" She doesn't say much and just went to bathroom to freshen up. I changed into something more comfortable and then went to the living room, Ethan and his parents were seated on one of the couches, Mrs Sophia saw me coming and invited me to sit with them. "Hey! You good"..Ethan came over after sometime and asked me the question. "Yeah! What do you mean!". I faced him and asked that question. He slowly shook head and intentionally changed the subject; there wasn't any else to say, I stood up and went upstairs to the bedroom..I was there when Mrs Sophia came.."Megan, are you alright?".She asked me questions I do not have answers too _ wa
