. “Make yourself at home. I am sure that you will like my surprise," Richard said as he walked to a coffee maker and fiddled with some switches and buttons and it started brewing coffee and the aroma drifted to her like the fresh smell of grass after a night of rainfall.After a few minutes, Richard walked to her with a mug of coffee and he sighed in contentment.“This is good," she said after she tasted it.Richard just smiled at her and at that moment, the office phone that was on the office table rang and he picked it up.“Yes? Okay… will be there in a while,” he said and then put down the receiver.He then walked towards her and sat down again."Finish your coffee and we will go somewhere. Or even better, let's go," he said as he took her mug and looked at her.Macy stood up and followed because she was eager to see where all this was going.They left the office and walked towards the end of the corridor and this time, there was a man waiting for them.He didn't talk as he pressed

114. There was a certain social media account of a certain celebrity who had fallen from grace and had millions of followers all over the US of A and the world at large and disappointed fans and the general public who knew her or who had been waiting for any news about her had been waiting like hawks watching chicks ready to pounce.For almost a month, this account had been dormant with no activity so far and my fans had unfollowed and others had unsubscribed just because they hated her.But among those who remained, there were still hardcore fans who still believed that their angel had been framed and that the truth would come out one day. Yeah, they were waiting for the innocence of their angel to be proven.Others didn't even care who they followed and they were still following the account because they were too lazy to click buttons to unsubscribe and others were just there.Ask them why they subscribed and they will say, “the suggestion just appeared on my feed and I just followed

“Why do you ask? I thought we are here to talk about that particular case and nothing else," Dr Maxwell asked and then his face showed fear but those watching didn't know what she saw.There was silence for a while and then he sighed.“There is no going back after this, is there?" He asked as if resigned to his fate."Depends on you. If you go out there after this, Angela will surely kill you before she is found by the police.You of all people should know that she isn't forgiving,” the man said and Maxwell nodded."She's the most ruthless and she is the worst out there.That's where I learnt that the innocent ones are usually the worst," he said and sighed.“Okay. What do I get if I tell you the truth?" Maxwell asked and there was another moment of like ten seconds of silence.“Giving you over to the police in one piece of course.And… and if you cooperate, we can get you immunity and your sentence will be reduced.Also, we will make sure that you are safe in the prison and Angela c

. “Hello Jared?" Richard greeted and the boy looked at him as if she had seen him somewhere but didn't remember where.“Who are you and why do you look so familiar?" The boy asked with a raised eyebrow and Richard smiled at that.It was similar to what he saw in the mirror whenever he looked at it.“We have never met but I want to introduce myself and there is also another person who wants to meet you," he said and the little boy stood up from where he was seated.“Why do I feel like I know you? Are you sure that we have never met?" He asked, seeming deep in thought as if he was trying to reach for something in his brain but couldn't with his hands in the pockets of his shorts and guess who else had his hands in his pockets in a similar manner?Richard, Macy and Mel had come to meet Jared for the first time.Macy had been a train wreck and that was why she brought Mel because Richard realised that only Mel had the ability to make her mother calm down.“Mama, is this surprise mine or y

“You are my mother, aren't you?" He asked Macy when she walked out of the room where she and Mel were.“How do you know?" Macy asked.“Because my DNA told me so. It said that I am 45 percent white and quarter Asian and quarter African and the other five percent was Caribbean.There was no way that could have been Maxwell and his wife because they were as Caucasian as it gets,” the boy said and Macy looked at Richard who shrugged his shoulders and smiled.She sighed as she wondered if she was the only ‘normal’ one in her family.Mel was a genius and so was her brother.“Yes, I am your mother," Macy said as she walked towards the boy.“Can I hug you?" She asked when she stood before the boy and the boy nodded and Macy squatted and held him and Jared willingly walked into her embrace.Macy hugged him and all the emotions she had kept hidden in her came puting out.She couldn't believe that she could finally hug her baby and so, she cried.The more she cried and shook and apologised to th

Richard and Jared were wearing matching suits. They looked like they abd been carved from the same log because that was how they looked: cold and indifferent.“Daddy, brother, you have to smile a little. You will scare everyone like that," Mel offered as her mama helped tie the loose sashes that were at the back of her long flowing princess-like turquoise dress. It had pearls on the bodice and they ran through the lower puffy skirt and they twinkled when she walked.“You do look like a real Princess," Jared said and Mel rewarded him with her most brilliant smile.“Mom, you look beautiful," Jared also said as he smiled at Macy and she melted.She, like Mel, was also wearing a turquoise dress that had a skirt that went up to slightly above the knee and then a lacy material that had light and dark flower patterns that ran in a flowing manner to the floor and showed her long beautiful legs.She was wearing matching glass slippers that had a shirt heel.The dress had the same material that

We went to the dining room and this room was an old victorian era style.There was a huge wooden chandelier hanging from the high ceiling and it looked like it had been carved from marble by the way the brown hue was shining.From it hang millions and millions of brightly lit small bulbs that mimicked fireflies.The huge rectangular table looked as if it could seat more than fifty people and I wondered if we would sit the way it was done traditionally: you know, with the two heads of the family at the far ends and then the rest of us a mile from each other but that's not how the plates and cutlery had venw arranged.Seemed like we would be sitting around one end of the big mahogany table.The Armstrong head, Richard's dad, sat at the end and on his right sat his wife.On his left sat my grandmother and then after that it was Richard and I next to my grandmother and the two children were sat next to their grandmother, Richard's mom, after Mel it was my mom and then dad and Ash sat next

"A wedding?" Ash asked, low-set ginger brows furrowing even deeper."Why so fast?" He shouted this time."A wedding," Richard said with a slow grin,and a collective set of gasps filled theair. "I'm gonna marry her on the thirtyfirst this month. I want to belong to her, legally. I want to say those vows you see in movies, to give her not just my mind and body and heart, but the very essence of my soul. I want to give it all since I'm in this relationship for the forever haul.""Er, a-a-actually, uh," Kyle stammered, looking flustered, "well, um... y-yeah,we could do that. But don't you think that we could give my sister some time to prepare? She is a girl and they tend to want everything to be meticulous," he said and they all looked at him.Dinner had been eaten and now, then men were in the pool room playing pool whole the women were somewhete catching up.Richard had just dropped the bomb that he wanted to marry Macy by the end of the month which was like a week and a few day

128. By the time Richard and Macy were done with entertaining the guests, time was far much spent.They thus decided to retire to their room and then leave for their honeymoon the next morning. Richard carried Macy across the threshold as was traditionally unacceptable for a groom to let his wife to enter the door walking in her first day as a wedded wife.Macy was so happy that she felt as if whatever she had going through was being compensated. By the time Richard was placing her on the bed that had been decorated with red roses, her ribs were tired from all the laughing.She was happy.She had two children and a man who adored her. She could not ask for more. “Do you want to take a bath first?” Richard asked her after helping her take off the high heeled shoes she had been wearing.“Yes. I will go first,” she told him.“Okay. I will help you prepare the bathtub," he offered."No. That's okay. I want to have a shower because I am tired. I just want to lay down,” she said and he n

127. The moment was intimate and all Richard could see was Macy. He didn't want to think of everyone gathered in the hall because he hated crowds and the reason why he did all this was for her.Another reason he held this wedding on an island was to make sure that not many people attended.The air was charged with excitement as those gathered waited to hear what Richard would say. Some wondered if it would be as heart touching as Macy's or if it would be blunt. As Richard took a deep breath, the crowd fell silent, anticipation hanging in the air. He turned to Macey, her eyes sparkling with joy, and began to speak the words he had carefully crafted in his heart. “Macy,” he started, his voice steady yet brimming with emotion, “from the moment I met you, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend my life with. You are my rock, my confidante, and my greatest adventure. With you, I have found a love that I never knew existed.”Tears glimmered in Macey’s eyes as Richard continued, recountin

Please find it in your heart to forgive us," Mrs Phillips said and Macy just stood there both embarrassed and angry.She wondered why they had to make a scene even though she had allowed them in.“We are also thankful that you allowed us to your wedding. Thank you so much darling," her father added.“Just sit and let us continue," Macy said feeling all embarrassed because there were other people in the hall who weren't family and although it wasn't a secret now after the live broadcast of Angela washing her dirty linen in public that these people had neglected their own daughter and nurtured the one who had killed their own son, she wasn't ready to deal with them.This was supposed to be her day and not theirs.“No, darling. We won't sit unless you say that you have forgiven us," her mother, Mrs Phillips, said and she sighed.“You do realise that today is supposed to be about me and not you, right?" Macy asked the two wh

125. Macy couldn't believe that this day was here. All her life ever since she found out that she had slept with a stranger and got pregnant, she never thought that she would ever get a man to love her but here she was.Not only did this man love her but was also the father of her child-ren.She followed Richard's footsteps until they came to the raised dais where her brother, Asher, May, Mel and Jared were standing.For the first time ever, Macy got to see May in a flowing dress.She had always seen May with leather pants or jeans pants and leather jackets. But now, she really looked like a girl.Macy stood on the left side of Richard where she was directed and they faced the people.She hadn't gotten the time to look at this place since they obviously had got there at night and she hadn't gone around since, well, she was getting ready for this.The hall wasn't as big and she even didn't know that they were on an island but she felt the waves hit rocks and she, at first, thought that

124. Life is a blessing and we only have one of it. In this life, we have plenty of challenges and heartbreaking events that we at times feel like we won't be able to move on from but as long as we have theones we love right beside us it makes it all worth it.One of life's gifts is finding someone you can share the rest of your life with, someone who will be there for you through thick and thin and love you for who you arenot what you have.Richard had found such a person who was currently lying in his arms. He wanted nothing more but to spend the rest of his life with this woman and no one else. As he lay on the bed his gaze lingered on Macy with a hard to describe smile on his face. He couldn't believe that he had been this lucky.He also smiled when he remembered when he was drugged by his brother. He almost killed his brother but now, he was happy and he would even reward Asher with the latest Tesla that he had been asking for.They had arrived at his uncle's villa on the Indi

123. “Mom, hurry up, we have to leave," Mel hurried her mother who was still getting ready. It wasn't that Macy wasn't ready it was just that she had just been informed by her man that they were leaving in an hour's time and they were going for a vacation. “What should I carry? Why didn't you tell me at least yesterday and I would have gotten ready!" She had complained wondering where to start. “Don't worry about that. It was a surprise and we already packed for you. All we want is for you to go with us," he has said and the children had beamed. “Yes ma, just wear something and let's leave. This will be my first vacation with my real family," Jared had urged and that was how Macy had found herself getting ready and now, she was wondering what to wear because she had even forgotten to ask where they were going. “Where are we going again? What do I wear?" She shouted from her bedroom and Richard shouted back, “just wear anything. One of those cute dresses of yours.” "Yes mama. The

122. Since Macy said yes to marrying Richard and they got their boy back, Richard had become like Macy's second cloth.He would be wherever she was and if he wasn't lying on her if she was sitting, he would be touching her here and there provided he could feel her.He even spent his days in the studio watching her film but Macy didn't mind although people started talking.For the first time, the mysterious first son of the Armstrong family started showing up in public.This clingy behaviour went on for a month though it wasn't as severe as before. He stopped following a lot but he would casually send cute texts and pictures whenever they were apart.All of a sudden, the ice cube who had no social media accounts created them and shared with the world that he was the happiest man alive.His IG moments were always filled with things like 'My Beautiful fiancè made me breakfast today #inlove' followed by a picture. Sometimes it was random pictures of Macy doing the most regular of things
