Erica could see the look on their face, they were happy to hear that.“My son is engaged?” Mrs Bertram gasped“isn’t it a good thing?” Aurelio replied his mom“What do you mean good? Super great” she replied clapping her hands.His father had a smile on his face, a very happy one and so did his grandpa.“Well Aurelio has grown to be a man. Erica, you really worked on him” his grandpa said and she returned a smile.“When is the wedding holding? It’s going to be the best ever in the city. Everyone will hear of this wedding” Mr Bertram replied“The wedding….” Erica said lowlyShe hasn’t thought of it yet, “Uhm, Aurelio…” she called him raising her brows at him.“Next week, weekend would be the best” he replied and her eyes went wide open“Who plans wedding in a week??” she asked him almost aloud.“This family” Mr Bertram replied with a side smile“Exactly, it isn’t hard is it? I’ll help with the dress, you will definitely look so good that day that my son Aurelio won’t be able to reco
Erica stood with her eyes wide open, Ronald blinked rapidly at her and slowly his jaw dropped. Aurelio raised his brows at Ronald and turned to Erica.She scoffed immediately and rolled her tongue in her mouth."Look who's here" she laughed lowly and walked to Aurelio slowly."Honey who is he?" Aurelio asked her.She clicked her tongue still looking at Ronald.This guy..why does he have to be here?She was happy he was present, at least he would be the first to see the new her "What are you doing here?" he asked her like she should not be here."I am to ask you that question Ronald Don!" she fired up immediately" You should not be here, I don't know how you got here Erica, maybe this is what you've turned to be.." Ronald replied"Honey... do you know him?" Aurelio asked her already getting mad"Because it is clear you do and probably had an issue" he replied" If he was someone that ever hurt you, tell me...I won't give him this job" Aurelio replied with a cold glare at Ronald.Fe
Erica totally loved Aurelio’s idea. Why won’t she agree to it.Her so called parents deserve to pass out and not even wake up again. Slowly a side smile appeared on her face as she let her phone down.Yes she wants her parents to come and see the new her.She wants them to see the daughter they had rejected but still why does she feels somehow else from within.“What’s the problem love?” Aurelio asked her noticing her facial expression had dropped.Erica faked a smile at him and shook her head “It’s nothing.. thank you..” she replied but Aurelio rolled his eyes and pulled her closer to himself after taking a deep breath.“I know you’re faking that smile with me, you should not do such whenever you are with me honey. Tell me, what’s the feeling?” he asked her and she sighed heavily“I really don’t know what they saw or heard but they are not ashamed of themselves, I really feel my mom and dad aren’t coming to make things alright” she replied and Aurelio sighed.He slowly wrapped his
Mrs. James raised her head up immediately she heard Erica’s reply. She raised a brow at Erica and laughed lowly as she made a slow movement to adjust herself where she was seated. Erica was standing where she was, next to Aurelio. Her hands were folded and pulled to her chest. And then she shook her head, disappointed indeed.She clicked her tongue and turned to Aurelio,He gestured her to sit down which she did and he sat next to her.“Erica, what’s the problem. Aren’t you happy to see us dear?” Her mom faked an act and she laughed lowly.“You should be happy to see us, since you just stopped calling us, we decided to and you don’t even seem happy My dear daughter” her father added and immediately anger took over Erica.She tighten her jaw as she tried to suppress the anger boiling from within.“Like seriously, little sister you have no idea of how worried I have been ab_”This time she could not hold it anymore and butt in immediately.“Little what did you call me? Your dear da
Jemma took slow steps back, her knees felt cold immediately that she began stuttering.“I.. it… it’s..” she managed to say. Words just couldn’t find it’s way out of her mouth.Mrs Camila turned to look at Jemma with a death glare.“How dare you!!!” She screamed out and Jemma staggered back“I didn’t do anything… I never.. I didn’t mean to… “ Jemma replied stuttering.Her mom just stood where she was, holding her father in her hands.“What have you done Jemma??” She asked her and then Mrs Bertram grabbed Jemma by her wrist glaring intently into her eyes.“If anything happens to my daughter and her baby, I promise you would rot in hell!!” she yelled at Jemma“Can we just stop all these and do the needful right now, which is to take Erica to the hospital” Aurelio yelled at no one in particular“What? Is she the only one in that Condition, she made my father this way too and you’re not saying anything! What if he dies? Erica is more important huh?” Jemma asked with a loud voice and immedi
Aurelio wasn’t just surprised to see Aryan standing with a facial expression as if all was well with him.He clenched his jaw and scoffed “Aryan.. When are you ever gonna learn from your mistakes?”Aryan laughed lowly and rolled his eyes, he looked round the hospital and shrugged. “I wonder what brought Aurelio to the hospital.. Who’s sick among you?”” Aurelio asked referring to his family.Aurelio said nothing to him but stared at him like a blank sheet of paper.“I’m talking to you Aurelio Bertram” Aryan said again but Aurelio still gave him no reply.Why should he waste his time talking to a creature like Aryan?He shook his head like a father that was disappointed at his son’s bad exam results.“Are you deaf or something?” Aryan asked already getting mad“You still have bandages and plasters on you, I really wonder why the doctor let you out of the hospital” Aurelio replied“Because I have been discharged! And you know what that means Aurelio?” Aryan asked as he took slow steps to
"Who are you” Erica asked again. Aurelio blinked rapidly at her and sat up “Erica...." He called her. His eyes were already becoming teary! What is she asking him? “Erica.. honey, you don't remember this face?" He asked her and she sighed heavily as she turned her face to the other side of the wall. “Honey, are you being serious right now? It's me your sweetheart” Aurelio said "where am I? How did I get here?" She asked him as she sat up and looked around. Aurelio broke down into tears immediately. This is his worst nightmare, his wife to be..the only lady that captured his heart, the mother of his unborn baby doesn't remember his identity. "Why are you crying?" She asked him immediately and cupped his cheeks Instead, he cried out the more and held her hands. "No, why won't you remember me Babycakes" he cried as she shook his head. He was more than hurt. "Where is my father?" Erica asked him lowly. He paused crying and looked up at her, "That man? You remember him? Why s
Minutes later after the doctor left the ward, Aurelio just got back into the ward from the doctor's office.Erica was seated on the bed with her face straight at him. "So what did you go to do?" His mom asked him immediately.He gave a side at Erica and replied his mom "Nothing much, just went to ask for some advice or something from him. I mean, there's definitely a way I can support Erica till she gets better completely" he replied"Alright then, that's lovely" she replied."He's becoming a man" his father added"When will you say I am a man Dad?" Aurelio asked with a low laugh.Everyone in the ward laughed out for sometime, and after seconds...Erica spoke up, "So where's Mr James now?" She asked"That Man, he is in the ward too" Aurelio replied immediately.."Oh..." She mouthed"Honey, you should not feel sorry for him okay? He's getting what he deserves, next time..he would train his daughter no matter the choice of life she decides to make" Mr Bertram said" As long as i
