"I don't know… I can't come back home. I can't just forgive myself for everything that I have done to you Eric." Scarlett replied. "I have forgiven you already and I need you to put that behind you. Come on, even if it's not for me, at least come back home for your son. His name is Mako and he misses you. He wants to see his mother after such a long time. Please babe?" Eric pleads with her as he uses their son as a means to get her to come back and reconcile with the family. "I don't know… Ma.. Mako… how is he? How is he doing?" Scarlett asked with a shaky voice. She misses her son but can't bear the pain. "He is fine but only misses his mum. Why don't you come back home and see how he is doing for yourself?" Eric said to her. "I can't bear the pain of seeing him, not after abandoning him with you and running away like an idiot. Which mother does that to her own family? To her own child? No one except me. I am such a bad mother and can't ever be good enough for Mako or you! I canno
"How old is Mako now?" Scarlett asked. "Are you being serious right now? You have forgotten the age of our son already? You must be kidding." Eric replied. "He is five, hahahaha. I know, it's just a prank." She replied. "Well you are the queen of pranks isn't it?" They laughed together. "You can stop dancing now" Susan says to her twirling daughter. "Why? It's a good day" Scarlett remarks,laughing with a wine glass in hand. Her black dress flows to the ground,covering her equally dark heels. The ref lipstick stains the glass cup,causing her to drop it on the table. "Told you to use the waterproof lipstick" her mom comments as she walks toward the mirror. "I'll keep that in mind" Scarlett replies, using a wipe to take the remnants of the lipstick off her mouth. "Which do you prefer? Black or white" Sandra asks, causing her daughter to turn around. She takes a short gaze at the two bags before pointing towards the white one. A kno
At that moment she steps down as all the cameras divert the focus to her. Her bright smile fills her face as she absorbs the glory,not wanting to step away from the cameras focus. Good things must always come to an end,she realizes as she steps down from the stairs. She moves quietly to her mother who is standing beside Erica and her husband. "Heyyy," she greets them. Eric stands directly outside his door with Hughes beside him. Is there really a need for any of this? They could just get used to it without all this drama. It's a fucking reunion and not a new marriage. "Do we really have to do this?" Hughes asks out loud,surprising Eric. " We could just turn around,cancel everything" Hughes suggests,startling Eric even more. They could turn around but the whole world would hate them,heck even he would hate himself. It would be monstrous to disappoint Scarlett. "Tell him I'm ready" Eric orders. Hughes brings out his phone,te
"There's no wedding?" Susan asks,she lets out a gasp. "I made preparations for nothing?" "Oh God!" Scarlett calls out,palming her forehead. "Mom,we have NOT discussed any wedding but if we have any plans. We will do well o inform you." " Noted but you really should"she still persists,moving her focus back to the food. Eric was so happy to see his dream come true, he was still finding it a little hard to believe, after all the struggles and difficult in his relationship he was finally getting married for the second time to the same woman. Well he wow it really count the first wedding as a wedding since it was for cover up, Eric stood outside the wedding hall as a wild smile ran through his face, just then he knew his business consultant was an Angel sent from God because without him he would not have gotten enough balls to get her back. His five year old son was also standing right next to him, he smiled too because his dad was smiling and he was hap
"Why are you coming back now?" She questions rudely."I'm so sorry, I think I'm a bit early today and not late." A slap lands on his face. "How foolish you are, I'm asking why you're returning earlier than usual and you're saying something else." He gritted his teeth and was fuming with anger. But he gulped the anger."I was stuck in the traffic.""Will you answer my question?" Scarlett barks. "I'm not feeling quite okay, that's why I returned home." "What a weakling, you are such an asshole. Imagine coming to my workplace to spy on me like I was some kid, pretending to have a surprise for me," she glared him as if he is only a stone with no ears and emotions."Do you think I'm a child or that submissive wife you guys dominate over." She spat on his face, he wiped away her saliva gently from his face. "I wanted to divorce you, but I changed my mind. At least you're not all that useless but useful in keeping the house clean, cooking and doing other things." "Arrghh!" Another s
The house is set for the twenty-fifth birthday party of Eric, he's turned twenty-five today and wishes to surprise the three relatives he has, his wife Scarlett, three year old son, Mako and his mother-in-law, Susan. All went out early in the morning, Susan on a tour with Mako and Scarlett to Hollywood where she works as an actress. He does this in a bit to surprise his wife, who most likely sees him as worth nothing, lazy and of no good. He was really determined inside him to save some of the money he got to surprise Scarlett and make her know after all that he's a man. The dining table is filled with turkey soups, barbecues, a large bottle of red wine, vegetable stew, all sorts of delicacies rarely cooked in the house.He looks at the time, it's 12 PM. He heads over to the drawer, takes out his phone and dials his wife's number."What could be wrong?" He asks himself, brushing his hair with his fingers, in frustration. He walks over to address some stuff that has just caught h
"Yes sir, I'm Eric Woodley, my wife is Scarlett Woodley and I came here in search of her, she isn't picking my call." Just as he is saying this, the gate opens and she storms out walking straight to him, Eric is surprised to see her. How did she know I'm here? Who told her? Eric's legs begin to shake, he shivers in fear, the kind of eyes that she is staring at him with is not something to be comprehended, he hasn't seen her so aggressive like this before and wonders what's going on that is making her behave this way."Hey, why are you here?" She questions holding the collar of his shirt."Hello, can you please calm down ma'am. Be civilized." Another officer urges from behind, the one that humiliated him with his eyes would never warn Scarlett because he desires this to happen to him. Eric stares into his face and it's glowing with delight. He's certain that this is what he wanted. Scarlett loosens the grip on him as the officer says this and finally lets go of him. "Can you tell m
Eric's frowned after hearing his grandfather's name. Like the man must be joking or a mad person."Are you kidding me?" Eric raised his eyebrows. The bodyguard shook his head in disagreement."You have a grandfather, who has been silent since you were born." The bodyguard revelation shocked him.It can't be true just few minutes ago he was an orphan and now he is having grandfather."Did he know beforehand that where I was"?"Yes, young master," the bodyguard nodded his head.Eric blood boils in anger, his grandfather also deveived him as his wife did to him."I don't want to meet that old man, who let me die in the streets since I was born." Eric shot back angrily. He tried to start the taxi, but cut off in between."He has called you to give your mother's pendant," the other man replied slowly.Eric's heart twitched, recalling his mother's name and her memories.Eric went to his grandfather's mansion, "Storm House". The mansion was decorated with expensive antiques.He envied him f
