Driving home with soft music of Ed Sheeran playing at the background. She was relaxed yet worried, calm yet panicked within, confident but very afraid. As she drove home enjoying the soft and melodic voice of Ed Sheeran, memories came rushing in making her break down in tears.The day had been too overwhelming, she had experience both wins and defeats but what she didn’t know was the biggest surprise was waiting for her at home.********Alice Jet got home a bit after four in the afternoon, after getting through the remote controlled gate, she went ahead to park the car in front of the mansion and took the pizza with her bag out of the car.She stood outside staring at the big mansion In front of her, the same mansion that feels like home yet gets too lonely for her but today, it was giving her such a weird vibe. Signing slowly, she approached the door.She noticed how quiet the entire mansion was immediately she got to the living room, the tv was on with both kids cuddled to each othe
Junior glared at the cold ground whilst his tiny hands were fisted in a tight ball. His glare was cold, as if the ground has wronged him in a severe manner,”mummy it’s all because of Nancy Li, the niece of Jane Li, the famous model and actress. She slapped Alexia because Alexia defended herself and you when she called you a bad word and Alexia a bastard because she doesn’t have-she doesn’t have-she doesn’t have a father!…”, he howled angrily.“What-what-w-hat-what are you telling me?…”Nanny’s eyes got moist when she saw the broken look on Alice Jet as she kept looking at her son to tell her that what he just said was a lie and that nothing of that sort happened to her babies.Junior didn’t see the pain in his mother’s eyes nor did he hear the sorrow in her voice hence he continued,”so it happened that Nancy Li happens to be the niece of the famous Jane Li so she gets her way always as her auntie contributes and donates to the school all the time. She started picking on Alexia since th
She entered her room and closed the door silently behind her, she walked in front of the mirror and took a long glance of herself. She realized from today’s incident that the children need their father in their lives and because of that, she had decided not to hid any information away from the investigator she knew Alexander Johnson will hire. Taking her phone out of her bag, she called a number, the number that handles all her dirtiest businesses, she made the call through to her best friend.“Hello, it’s me……”“Long time mi hermosa princesa…”, a muscular voice said at the other side of the call.“Carlos? it’s not very pleasant for me to make a call to you, In fact if it were up to me, I will never hear from you again….”, she muttered with a scoff.“Oh come on Princesa! are you still angry about that incident? Happened a long time ago and I think you’ve punished me enough. I have being missing you and those little Munchkins for so long…how are they doing? Gosh! I miss them so fucking
Carlos made a face over the phone and questioned her,”that’s a strange request coming from you. Who is the person going to send the investigators?…”, he asked curiously.Alice smile,” the person that will be sending the investigators is Alexander Johnson…”Carlos gasped very dramatically,”Princesa?! Isn’t that your ex-husband from the wicked family? Didn’t his family and that Li family gang up against you and almost killed you and our precious sweethearts? No! absolutely not!…I’m not giving chances for what happened six years ago to repeat itself. You can go ahead and do all you want with yourself, I don’t care that much but don’t include my babies!!!”, he howled at her through the phone.Alice raised her eyebrows in amazement,’his babies? Lol one would think he got pregnant and gave birth to them himself…ha! how funny and amusing….’, she thought amusingly to herself as she heard scoff and huff over the phone.“Carlos bare in mind that Alexander had no idea what his family was up to un
Alice smiled sadly,”life has it way of humbling you and making you into a survivor, you go through so much that it moulds you into a completely different person than you wanted to be when you were younger. You turn into the characters you judged so much while growing up and you start making all the mistakes you judge so bad. I may be smart but the kids especially Junior didn’t take his intelligence from me. I will dare say he took his looks and intelligence all from his father. He-he took everything from Ale…”“Who mummy? Who did I take after? Who did I take everything from?….”, a tiny voice questioned her softly at the door. Startled Alice dropped the phone and by so doing she accidental press the loud speaker button on the phone. She was so into the conversation she was having with Carlos Rodriguez on the phone that she didn’t even hear the footsteps approaching her room nor did she the presence of Junior until he startled her with the questions he asked. She turned to see him stand
That evening, the twins fell asleep talking with Carlos as he told them advantages of his travel around the world and later on sang them a lullaby with his crispy and rusted voice. The lullaby did serve it purpose as the kids truly fell asleep before he completed the song though his voice was truly terrible. “Enough Carlos!, you are damaging my eardrum with that voice of yours. Gosh! I can’t stand it, I don’t know how the twins enjoyed this your singing till they fell asleep, your voice is terrible! I don’t think I’ve ever heard a voice as bad as yours…”, Alice verbalized with a huff.Carlos rolled his eyes at the authentic drama queen he had come to know and love,”I know my voice might be bad but you are simply making a mountain out of an ant hill. You are exaggerating the entire voice situation, your kids have better hearing sensory than you do to be truthful. They know original when they see it and you my dear are a hater of good singing.”Carlos said proudly.Alice couldn’t help la
After leaving Assistant Jake that day, Alexander Johnson drove to a bar alone. Sitting down at the corner of bar, he sips his drink slowly thinking about the entire events that happened earlier in the day.‘I’ve thought about this all this while till my head is about to bust from all this over thinking, who is this woman and why does she have kids that look so much like me? Was she a one night stand I had years ago? I wasn’t one to have one night stand even when I lost Alice. I’ve never a one night stands in my life, I mostly drunk myself to sleep from morning till evening when I lost Alice. Could she be Alice? Alice was truly the only woman I’ve ever slept with to my knowledge unless I’ve slept with someone else without my knowledge. I’ve never had any sexual encounter with anyone not even with her all those years she abused me. To my knowledge I haven’t slept with anyone else besides Alice so does that mean Alice Jet is my Alice? My Alice? Are-are the children mine? Is that even poss
Taking the address, Alexander didn’t even think twice before leaving the company to the address to see things for himself.He heard laughter of a child when he approached the said address, the laughter wasn’t loud but the wind took it very far away from where he was. Parking his car, he got out of the car to meet a small boy who looks just like him standing in front of him with just the electronic gate separating them.They both stood astound, too surprised to talk, Alexander Johnson didn’t even know when he had approached the small way and was at the gate of the gate. He soon realized that getting that close to the gate made him get a closer look at the boy which left him more than amazed. His mouth gaped in wonder and his body moved on it own accord.He kept opening his mouth to say a word, anything at all to the younger version of himself but nothing seems to be coming out of his mouth. He attempted severally to at least say something, a single word, anything but words failed him.S
