“What should I do mom?” “Tell her the truth! She might come to love you for your real self!" "I can't risk that mom, I can't!” “Alright! Suit yourself! But don't say, I did not warned you!” “I plan to get her through a contract marriage?” “Why?" I yelled at him. "Because that is the only way she would agree to marry me as the CEO!". "Chester, are you alright! You are still deceiving her even at that!” I said, wondering what as gotten into his smart brain. “Mom…I..!” He went mute on seeing my glare. “For how long?” I finally asked him after a brief silent. “Just for six months!” “Six months? You are definitely not alright, Chester! I need to call director Kim, right away!" I said already reaching for my phone. "Mom, please can you listen to me, first?” He said already making attempts to take my phone away from me. “Alright, am listening CEO Chester, or is it Mr Murphy?" I said, and he smiled. "I plan to let her go if I can't make her love me within six mon

“A penny for your thoughts, young man!” She snapped her fingers at my face, when I didn't say anything."She prefers Murphy to me, without knowing it's the same person!" I said. "How about letting her know about the multiple identities first?” “Mom! She might quit her job! I went through hell before I could succeed in making her agree to work with me!" "You should have thought of that before acting like the jerk you are towards her! Because seeing the kind of girl that she is, she might end up quitting on finding out that you decieved her!" She said, and instantly, I raked my hand through my hair again, but vigorously this time around. I only do this habit of mine when i am is super nervous.“What should I do mom?” I said, already feeling a strange of feeling of anxiety. A feeling of not wanting to lose her, of not wanting to let her go out of mine life.“Tell her the truth! She might come to love you for your real self!" "I can't risk that mom, I can't!”“Alright! Suit yourself!

“Murphy! It's been a while since you came visiting!” A chubby woman in her early fifty years of age with fairly silver color hair, said after ushering us towards two chairs out of the four available. We were the only customers tonight. “I'm fine, Mrs Gondola! I have been busying lately, hence I couldn't come over. How are you doing?” He asked with a smile. “I'm still kicking pretty well, as you can see!" She said with a smile..I could tell she was a pretty lady in her prime. Looking at her, I suddenly had the urge to hug and reassure her. I silently wondered what, and why she is still stressing herself at this time of her life. Did her children abandoned her?. “That is good to know Mrs Gondola!” He said before, ordering two cups of tea for us. “You wanted to say something, Alexis!” He said after the third sip from his cup of tea. “Yeah! I just don't know how to say it!” I said, clearing my throat for the second time. “Hey, Alex! Calm your nerves down, okay! I'm going to

“Is he trying to running away from me because of my request? Or because he already knows that his cousin won't help me out!” Series of thoughts flashes through my mind.“Alex, Alex! What is wrong? Are you okay?”“Am fine, just feeling or wondering why you have to travel now that I need your help the most!” I said, and I could feel him smiling over the phone.“It's wouldn't be long, okay! I will be back before you know it, and we can keep on talking on the phone” He replied, and I sigh. Bading him good wishes, and goodbye, I immediately ended the call, walked back to the open window, staring at the half moon in the sky.“Just when I thought I finally had someone I can call my own! Someone I can at least depend on, and now he is he running away from me? Do I have to struggle things out on my own all my life?. Do I have to face my fears, challenges all alone? Don't I deserve some sort of love, or assurance of being not all alone, from someone?” I thought silently while drop of tears unco

“Who is she?” “Wow!” “She is damned gorgeous!” Some of the guests whimpers, still looking at her as she walked towards us. “Alex, darling! Thank you for coming! And I must confess, you look stunning in this dress of yours!” My mom embraced her. “Thank you mom! I got this for you!” She said, handed over a boutique of red roses to her and then a box wrapped with gold color. “Wow! Thank you for the gift, honey! Everyone please meet my soon to be daughter-in-law!” My mom suddenly announced, smiling as if it was the most casual thing to say in the world. I couldn't observed the expression on her face due to the mask but I hear her sharp breath just like me and her body went stiff for a while. I watched the unreadable expression on her face slowly turning into a smile when the some of the guests rally around her. It seems someone probably asked her a sensitive question because she suddenly turned to smile at me before answering whatever questions they're asking. “You never told me ab
