The both of them immediately jerked off from the bed, their eyes filled with fear like two teenagers that had just been caught in the act. “Why the hell is your mother at your doorstep this late at night?” Harry inquired, and his eyes seemed to be filled with panic. “She lives here, so I think that it is only right for her to visit whenever she chooses” Lisa explained, speaking in whispers. “What am I supposed to do?”“What else, hide!” She replied and quickly shoved him into the wardrobe before walking over the door. Lisa twisted the door knob with a smile on her face, Emily stares at her suspiciously and follows her side. “Why did you lock your door, this is the first time you have ever done that”“I guess sometimes I need my privacy, especially when working” She replied as her gaze went straight to the laptop that was still open. Emily stared at it for a while and then offered herself a seat on the sofa. “Mother, is everything alright?”“Yeah, I visited your brother today and

They were all stunned by the way they were treated by Lisa, Emily grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to a side. “Lisa! What do you think you are doing, I thought that we have been over this”“You said that they were coming over to ask for forgiveness, but all I see them is acting cocky and expecting me to be the one to apologize”“They are going to apologize if you give them the chance, but not with the way you are acting. They are your family, how can you say that you wouldn't eat at the same table with them”“Harry was my family and yet that was how they treated me, none of you ever let him eat on the same table, so pardon me if I do not feel too comfortable about this”“Please Lisa, are you not tired of this war, please I need some rest, and the only way I can acquire it is by finding peace, help me do this please… ”“Fine! Let us go dine with the enemy” She announced and walked away back to the dining table where they were all seated. Emily went ahead to dish out the meal made

When they eventually arrived at the hospital, it seemed the nurses had been waiting for them, turns out that Harry had reached out to the hospital and informed them of Lisa's condition, so they were fully prepared and waiting anxiously for them. Eric and his family arrived back at their home that night to see that Paulos had made a mess of the entire place, almost all the bottles of wine had been opened and emptied, yet he did not seem drunk. “What in God's name is going on here!!” Grandma yelled out furiously because she had never had to witness such a scene at her home. “I apologize for me, I was in a good mood and thought that it was only proper that I celebrate, I mean it is such good news and I wouldn't walk past it!”Indeed Paulos was filled with all smiles even as he explained to Grandma who even got more furious and then she turned to her son. “Eric! I do not care where you picked this man up from, but I have told you before and I am still saying it right in his presence, I

Harry and Williams were at the office and Harry could not stop pacing, each time he stopped to stare at the television and the protest that was going on by the construction workers, it just got him more worked up. “Sir, I think that it is high that Lisa be informed of what is going on at her company”“No please, she just delivered her baby, and considering that it was a hard labor, she needs the rest”“But this has escalated beyond our help, she needs to speak to her board members, and then address the press and the furious construction workers”“Someone seemed to be fueling this up and we need to find those involved first, else no matter what she does, it is not going to work”“Sir, what are you suggesting that we do now?”“Sneak into the construction site and find out what exactly happened, first we need to know the materials provided at the site and if it was what was agreed by Lisa and the construction company, that way we will be certain of what to do next”“Alright Sir, I will

After listening to Williams, Lisa felt more scared instead of relief, she felt like there was something wrong with him and she needed to find out what that was. Lisa steered towards the basement and at the extreme was the last office, she turned around to be certain that she hadn't been followed before knocking on the door, but as expected, there was no reply. “Open up, it is me!” Her voice came as a whisper, but he sure heard her, the moment he opened the door, he dragged get inside and immediately twisted the door knob. “What the hell is wrong with you, are you ignorant or just naturally dumb!!” He yelled at her and yet he did it in a low tone. “I will take whichever one you think suits me” Her voice was calm, her face pale, this woman went through hours of labor, he knew how difficult it was and yet she was here bearing all the pain, he could no longer help it as he embrace her in his arm. “I can't just stay mad at you even if I want to, I am sorry that I couldn't be there for
