Who then is my father?“ Amber asked. Aunt Matilda heaved in deeply, letting out a heavy sigh.“He died in a car accident, just when I was eight months pregnant,” Aunt Matilda mumbled. Amber was dumbstruck, not knowing how to feel at that moment. Her biological father was dead, with all hope given to her about Mr Oliver and then Mr Ralph, it turned out to be that she had a father, at least not a real father.*******Bailey woke up late because she had slept again. She yawned loudly, stretching out her hands and feet before pulling the duvet cover off her, and then she got down from the bed.She walked straight to the bathroom, took a pee, and then came over to the sink, looking straight at the mirror for a while. She then turned on the water as she bent down to wash her face.When she was done, she took out a white towel, dabbing it on her face as she walked out of the bathroom. She sat on the bed, reaching for her phone, she turned it on.The first thing Bailey saw was the video she t
AT THE OFFICE: TALIA, THERESA AND RUBY.Talia decided to head home, it's an hour and thirty minutes after closing time, the building should be much empty by now. Most importantly, Wayne must have gone home.Amber stood up from her seat, she picked up her bag, scanning her table to see if she forgot anything. She then headed for the door, swiping her card to lock it.She headed down the stairs, about to walk out of the gate when she heard.“Hey bitch,” she turned to see Theresa and Ruby approaching her, well they weren't approaching her, they were actually going home. Talia heard Theresa's car was actually stolen alongside everything they had, their phones and wallet, every valuable thing they had on them, even their jewellery. That actually suits them right.Talia faced front, hoping her cab would arrive before they got to her, but her hope was shattered when Theresa walked up to her, grabbing her in her shoulder. Then Ruby arrived.“What do you want?“ Talia asked.“What do I want? Y
“I'll just have to try another way, and when I'm done, I can finally have you as mine,” Kennedy laid back on his bed, staring at the ceiling. The thought of him fucking Talia crossed his mind. His c*ck had erected due to his dirty thoughts, but it got distracted by his phone ringing.Kennedy grunted while he sat up, picking up his phone by his side. He looked at the screen. It was a familiar number.Although he doesn't save numbers to his phone, he would only recognize who is calling him by the last two digits.“Hey,” Kennedy answered.“What's taking you so long?“ It was Aunt Matilda.“You don't expect me to just show up and shoot him on the head right?“ Kennedy mumbled.“Are you out of your mind? Didn't I pay you already? You're meant to be done with the job by now, I am meant to be hearing news of Wayne's death already, if you know you can't do the job, quickly refund my money,” Aunt Matilda grumbled. Kennedy giggled.“I can see you are out of your mind right? If you think killing
“So what do you say, Mrs Emilia? Can you send for her, so that I can proceed? I don't have much time,”“Uhmm, I don't think that can be possible,” Mrs Emilia grumbled.“And why is that?“? Mr Philip asked. His brows were drawn closely.“I don't think it's a good idea, you said all the family members must be present, why then don't you just state what it is you want to say here and now, she doesn't have to be here,” Mrs Emilia said.Mr Philip became quiet for some seconds, while Mrs Emilia sat across from him, watching him closely, hoping he would agree.“But isn't your granddaughter a part of this family? Why don't you want her to be a part of this?“ Mr Philip asked. Mrs Emilia laughed.“It's not like that, I just feel it's not necessary,” Mrs Emilia said.“Okay, if you say so,” Mr Philip shrugged, Mrs Emilia nodded with a smile, then he placed his suitcase on his lap, opening it and bringing out some files.AMBER.Amber was watching TV in the living room, eating popcorn when she heard
“Hello,” Kennedy said, hoping it was Wayne, he had never spoken to Wayne on call, although he gave Wayne his number on their first meeting.“Hey babe,” Kennedy heard. It wasn't Wayne. Damn! It wasn't Wayne.“Lillian,” Kennedy mumbled.“Babe, what's wrong? You sound surprised to hear my voice, and ever since you took that business trip, you haven't for once called to know how i and you daughter is doing, you've been acting so weird lately,”“And how have I been acting weird, i am on a business trip, isn't that clear to you that I would be so busy with work, I mean, I was thinking of calling you and Bella this evening, it I guess you read my mind, I am sorry if I made you feel any sort of way,” Kennedy apologized, rolling his eyes.“It's fine, we are your family, and Bella is just three, she needs her father more right now, you know I'm only doing this because I had no father figure growing up, I know what I faced and I do not want my child, our! Child go through the same thing, we lov
“You're travelling? To where?“ Mrs Emilia furrowed her brows.“Mum, since when did you start asking questions like this, aren't I allowed to go on a vacation?“ Aunt Matilda asked.“No one said you're not allowed to go anywhere, I'm only asking you where you're going,” Mrs Emilia said.“Well, I do not feel the need to tell you or anyone. Let me quickly hurry, Nathan might be waiting for me already,” Aunt Matilda stood up as she headed for the door. She opened it, turning back to glance at Mrs Emilia. She winked at Mrs Emilia before walking out of the door.Mrs Emilia shrugged and then she adjusted her glasses properly, grabbing her phone on the table, she continued scrolling through it.*****Ah t Matilda and Mr Nathan drive into the mall. Mr Nathan stepped down from his car, then he went over to open the door for Aunt Matilda. “Thanks honey,” Aunt Matilda smiled while she stepped out of the car.Mr Nathan held Aunt Matilda's hand as they both walked into the mall. “Honey, I think I
"And who might that be?" Kennedy asked. He began to move towards her, but Talia stood her ground, not moving an inch, knowing that if she let Kennedy into her house, they might just end up in her bed."Who, Talia? tell me who that bastard is," Kennedy reached for Talia's neck, wanting to tighten his grip on her throat."It's my boss, Wayne, I'm in love with my boss," Talia mumbled in fear. Kennedy released his grip on her neck and took a few steps back as he began to giggle, pointing his finger at her."Wait, are you joking with me? Is this some kind of joke, you're in love with your boss? With Wayne?" Kennedy laughed again, shaking his head in disbelief.He approached Talia again."Common babe, you know who your Boss is, you know his taste, and believe me, you are so! far from his taste, so let me in, I need you right now, just let me in," Kennedy leaned in to kiss Talia's neck, but she quickly pulled away."You say I am way out of my boss's league, so what makes you think I am not
“Please promise me,” Kennedy got down on his knees, his hands wrapped around Talia's waist.Talia was left dumbstruck, she couldn't say no, if she did, Kennedy might do something really crazy, he might also tell Wayne about them, she knows what Kennedy can do, and telling him no right now can make things worse.“Okay,” Talia said, nodding her head, he looked up at her, his eyes filled with amusement.“Really, you go back with me?“ Kennedy asked, Talia nodded, forcing out a smile.“That's great, thank you so much babe,” Kennedy stood up, his lips taking Talia unannounced. He slowly pushed her inside, shutting the door behind them.THREE DAYS LATER.THE LAWYER.Mr Philip arrived three days later. The whole family gathered in the living room, the whole family except Mr Cooper because obviously he was dead.Mr Philip cleared his throat, opening his suitcase to bring out some A4 papers. He held the A4 papers in one hand, dropping his suitcase on the floor with the other hand.All the membe
