“Mum?“ Amber called again. Aunt Matilda turned to Amber, gazing at her intensely.“Amber, what do you know about him?“ She asked, I noticed both of her hands, grabbing tightly into the counter.I moved closer to her, trying to make her feel a little bit of closure, maybe then she will feel comfortable opening up to me, I needed to hear the part of her story, i needed to know what really happened.“Mum, remember when you called me from jail, and I told you I met him, remember you didn't have the chance to talk to me because your time was up, I still need answers, that's all, as my mother I need to know how you had me, and who my father is also, I can't keep living in lies, and most of all, I can't keep living in the lies Mrs Laurette has always told me,” I said. Amber hoped Mrs Laurette would forgive her if she ever got to find out she said this about her, all Amber wanted was to make Mrs Laurette look like a bad person, maybe then, Aunt Matilda would be able to open up.Amber guess w
“Amber, Mr Ralph is not your father,” Aunt Matilda said. My eyes flew open in bewilderment.“What?“ I said in disbelief. Aunt Matilda nodded, reaching for the glass cup of water, taking a sip from it and then returning the cup to its position.“Mum, please explain to me, I don't understand,” Amber mumbled.“Amber, I know how sad you feel right now and I'm really sorry about everything, but Mr Ralph was not your father, he was just my boyfriend at that time, and although he knew he wasn't the father of my twin baby girls, which is you and Bailey, he loved me too much to let me go, that was why he kept looking for me, he also didn't want to believe he wasn't the one who got me pregnant, he didn't want to believe I had cheated on him, he thought all I and my mother told him was a way to push him away, because at that time he wasn't as wealthy as be is now.“Wait mum,” I cut her off.“You talking about now, have you seen him recently?“ I asked, And to my greatest surprise,.Aunt Matilda no
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
