Grace Matway’s POV I yanked Rena into my arms and hugged her tight. “Let’s not fight again!.” Rena nodded at me.———Grace Matway glanced at her sister who was fast asleep beside her in bed, she shook her head angrily at the human alarm sent to wake her up at such early hours of the day.Grace Matway clumsily slid out of bed and moved towards her bedroom, she could barely see as she kept moving.Grace rubbed her hand across her eyelids while the other hand tapped on her thigh repeatedly trying to wake her up from her deep sleep. Grace Matway drew the door close behind her which made Rena move from one end of the bed to another.Her eyelids began to flutter open at the gentle sound of her sister closing the door which was followed by the loud knocking on the door, Rena turned slightly and at that exact moment her eyes met the wall clock that just strokes at 8 AM, her eyes broke open in the realisation that she had gone late to work.She took another glance at the wall clock but it wa
Jorge raised an eyebrow at Miss Rena’s statement.“Henry?.” He asked Miss Rena in a questioning tone.His eyes danced from Miss Rena to Grace Matway and back in confusion.How could two sisters bear different surnames?“Yes!!, my name is Rena Henry.” She spoke proudly, with her head held up high as though a crown sat on it.“How could you be Henry while she bares Matway?.”Jorge asked Miss Rena and her sister who was sitting next to her.Rena looked over at Grace Matway and said. “She was adopted!!.” Grace Matway shook her index finger in the air indicating her sister's claim was wrong. “You were adopted.”Rena was thrown off by her sister's statement that she caught herself almost sneering at her sisters for saying such words to her in the presence of her guest and possibly losing interest.“Why do you think the company name is ‘Matway’ and not Henry?, do you really think our parents will be dumb to name it that when they knew I was adopted?.” Grace Matway made an alluring point.———
Miss Rena found herself pacing around the ground floor of her sister's company, her eyes wandered from the wall clock to her wristwatch repeatedly without any breaks.She walked quickly towards the receptionist and slammed her hand on the desk. “Where is my sister?.” She inquired about the whereabouts of her sister.The receptionist Google-eyed her in confusion. She looked down at the block which she had been busy Scribbling on.“Who is your sister?.” The receptionist asked in confusion though her confusion was smiled as she knew multiple women were working at the company as herself.Miss Rena sighed in frustration of waiting for too long to be attended to. “Grace Matway.” A long gasp was heard from almost every corner of the building, a few heads popped out at the sides to stare at who was speaking.“You’re…” her voice trailed off.“Rena, what are you doing here?.” Grace Matway asked with a smile on her face.Miss Rena sighed in reality. “I came to see you, child!!.” She giggles.Gr
Joshua’s POVI paced around in confusion, my fingers didn’t leave my mouth as I bit them uncontrollably like they were the only thing I had eaten all day.On second thought I actually had not eaten, I took a deep breath and pressed my back against the wall with tears running down my eyes endlessly.I could hear the faint sound of footsteps but I was too far gone to move my head to where the sound came from.“Sir!.” A pair of arms wrapped around me and shook me vigorously.My eyes fluttered, trying hard to see who had shaken me in such a manner and there before my very eyes was Miss Rena with tears almost rolling down her eyes.“Are you okay?.” I threw away my sadness for the main time while I tried my best to find out what was wrong with her.I drew her into my arms and gently caressed her back till I felt her breathing begin to normalize.I sighed deeply only for my eyes to perch on a spot where a young lady.“Dasha…” I whispered to myself.I couldn’t just push Miss Rena to the side
Years after.After Joshua had been broken and gone cold.“You want to change your first name? Mr Joshua?.” The woman behind the glass asked as she stared at the document placed on the counter.Joshua nodded with a flushed look on his face.“Okay Sir, and what will you change it to?.”“Xavier.”——It was the morning already, at exactly 4:30 am the alarm on Vannessa's wall rang out as her whole life depended on that sound. Vanessa's constant turning, groaning, and covering of ears only confirmed her consciousness. "Arrrrgh, good Heavens. Who gets woken rudely by a clock they bought with their money and accommodates at their home?" Vanessa said she kicked hard the duvet out of her body, her legs on the floor, and staggered into the bathroom. It was Vanessa's second week at her bakery store and wasn't going to let any bad energy in, she struggled all her life because was able to set up that bakery store in the heart of town where most rich men lived. Although on her first week there,
" You need a fruit bread huh ? ", Vanessa referred to him.He nodded, " Yeah ! Make it three and tell me the amount including the cupcake ".She giggled, " You don't need to pay for the cupcake, it's a waste."" And it's your loss. Get Chloe one of the cupcakes, and tell me the total amount of the two cupcakes and three breadfruits ", he stated vividly to her hearing.She nodded and left to get it all. Within seconds, she was back with the items well-packaged. She handed it over to Chloe who had already stretched her hand to have it." Thank you so much, ma'am Vanessa. I love your cupcakes ", little Chloe commented cheerfully.She smiled at her, " Thank you too sweetheart, I love you "." I love you too ", she replied.For the time since he met Vanessa, he smiled while staring at the two. He loved the communication going on between them." She's my last daughter, and I'm his father. Nice meeting you dear, I'm Mr Xavier Brown ", he declared while getting on his foot.Vanessa chuckled,
The intense wind blew Chloe's hair, she loved how it smoothed on her skin and how the decorated flowers danced to its movement.She has been sitting on the veranda for more than five minutes now, yet didn't feel lonely.At this time, she had a lot of thoughts roaming in her head. It's all about ma'am Vanessa. This lady is creating in her mind all day long.From the first day she set her eyes on her, she loved everything about the lady." Why's my little sister sitting here all alone? She must be hungry right ? ", Came a familiar voice from her side.It's her brother. It is Ben.She adjusted by letting him get seated, " I want to go see ma'am Vanessa ", she stated.His brows furrowed. That sounds funny though." And who's that you're talking about ? ", He questioned her.She turned to face him, " A beautiful lady that owns a bakery some miles away from here. She's gorgeous and you won't believe it. I loved her from the first day I set foot in her bakery shop to get a cupcake. She's so
Vanessa was still all ears to what Chloe was about to say, she kept wondering what was running in the mind of such a little girl."I'll get back to you, ma'am Vanessa. I need to speak to my dad about it first before making decisions, that's because he will help me sort it out."Chloe stated.Nessa watched the little girl climb down from her thigh, she headed out of her bakery without taking a glance backward."My little angel will always trigger me. I wonder who the mother is and how she will always feel when staring at her daughter," Vanessa muttered silently while moving towards the oven.Chloe took to her heels and left back home in a haste, she met her siblings sitting at the veranda discussing a particular issue she doesn't care to know.Their eyes met and they two moved towards her Instantly."Why would you always be disobedient? I ordered you not to leave and I'll get you the cupcake, but you turned deaf ears to my order," Tracy scolded her.She contorted her face while taking a
