Claudia's - [P.O.V]
I picked up my bag staring at Mr. Wilfred.
"Please Sir, I...I need to go home. Permit me to go change please" I said to him.
Even if that's not the main reason, it's one of them. I need to see my kids before they go to school.
I have been giving them little attention since the past three days I started this job and I feel very guilty and bad about it.
They aren't getting a father's love and their mother isn't spending enough time with them all because of my stupid ass boss.
"Sidney."
The way my surname rolled out of his mouth, you will think he's the most innocent and kindest person in the world.
I just couldn't roll my eyes at him.
I tapped my feet on the floor without replying to him. There's no need, right?
"I will give you five hours off"
I groaned inwardly, what sort of boss is this? Can't he just give me a day off?
Claudia's - [P.O.V]I cleared my voice and it seems that brought him out from his dream land.He blinked his eyes and looked away."Enter into the car" he commanded entering into the car.Such a gentleman!He couldn't even open the door for me.But wait, am I really going to stay in this backseat with Mr. boss? Goodness! I am so done for.I nervously opened the door and sat down, it was just the middle seat that distanced us.I thought he was going to punish me by allowing me to take a cab to were the dinner was taking place.In other to avoid his gaze, I began looking through the window clutching my big handbag. It looks beautiful anyways.We stayed in a pregnant silent for almost an hour till we arrived at a restaurant downtown.
Anika's - [P.O.V]"You called me Dad" I said sitting beside hi."I did, I guess you still remember my friend Wilfred right?" He asked.I thought for a while and then."Oh! Israel's father?"I beamed at mentioning his nameI just wish he will give me a single attention one of this daysI so much love him despite his cold attitudeHe's not just handsome, he's well built, most successful bachelor, he has taken over the business world at such a young ageIsn't he worth admiring? He's every lady's dream! Rich and handsome"Yes, he came here today" he said and I furrowed my eyebrowsWhat does that have to do with me"And?" I asked."Came with a marriage proposal for his son."Wait! A marriage what?
Israel's - [P.O.V]Despite the hard works I give her, not for once did she complain.She didn't! And I kept on doing that over again! She even left the broken cup on the floor, I had to call Stella to clean it up.I ran my hands through my hair frustratedly! I have really hurt Sidney!My office door opened and Erica came in."Hey dude" he said taking a seat opposite me. Typical him!"Have you forgotten this is my office Erica? Can't you knock?" I asked narrowing my eyes at him and he shrugged."And have you too forgotten that this is my best friend's office? Can't you greet me?" He asked back while I shook my head.Winning an argument with him is very useless!"So how are you? How's work? You look worked up" he asked taking a look at me.
- Yeah I have but, that's not the details Erica, I need more information. Find out about the father of her kids -- Well, I was on it though, that's not all the information, I just sent this one to tell you she never deserved everything you did to her for your stupid reasons-He rasped and I sighed. Not that he knows her that well, why's he backing her?- You can blame me how ever you want but reserve it for later, you need to get me the informations about her immediately -- I am not promising you bro but I will try to get that -He hung up before I could speak again.I dropped the phone trying to concentrate on my work but my mind kept drafting to her.She's a single Mum! How could I have been s stupid not to notice her struggles?She's been enduring everything because of he
Israel's - [P.O.V]I sighed frustratedly running my hands through my hair.I have been sitting here for almost two hours without being able to do a thing.The thought of Claudia clouded my head.I miss nagging at her, I miss seeing her determined face. Fúck! I miss her!I wish I can go back to the past and become a little nicer to her.I fling the documents Stella brought earlier for review! That's the least of my problems now.Going to her house is out of it, what if she pours hot water on me to get back at me?The more I remember her, the more guilty I feel!I ignored her red hand and chest the day I poured a coffee on her yet she didn't complain.But I went extreme by insulting her family and personality!&
Israel's - [P.O.V]"There's this lady I want you to make friends with before your birthday party"She chuckled crossing her arms!Really? Why did she chuckled now?"Seriously bro? Why did you want me to make friends with her? Who's she anyways?" She asked.I hope she doesn't shout like a crazy lady right now."Her name is Claudia , I will give you her home address then you can go there and..""Are you kidding me Israel? How can I go to someone's house and ask her to be my friend? She will think I am crazy or something"That's true though! But I need her to come to the party at least!I know she won't even acknowledge my invitation!"You know what? Did you have a picture of her?" She asked.A pictu
Claudia's - [P.O.V]- Hello Claudia -I paused playing with Lisa's hair as I heard the caller mention my name.- Good evening -I greeted politely.- Yeah evening, this is Edna. The lady you met yesterday.Oh!- I am sorry I didn't recognize your voice -- It's nothing, so how are you-- I am fine and you? -- Fine too, I want to officially invite my new friend to my birthday party tomorrow evening please don't say no, please...pretty -She whined and I giggled!- Happy birthday in advance Edna -- Thank you but I still want you to attend the party to honour our new friendship -She said.I glanced at Erica a
Claudia's - [P.O.V]Okay!! What's going on?He pushed the girl away roughly and that drew lots of attention into the hallway.The Anika girl landed on the floor. What?"I am not your baby? Wait who are you?"Israel asked and that moment, his eyes landed on Edna and she flinched in fear."I...I Israel, I tried stopping her but she ignored me, believe me big brother"Huh? Big brother? Are they siblings?Is that why Israel is here for the party?What's this! Ugh! I am going crazyEverything is confusing me!Before we could understand what was happening, the place has been crowded.How did they get the news just now?The girl tried standing up in embarrassment and humiliation.
Lisa's - [P.O.V]Concentrate!Focus!I said to myself before I get knocked out."Gosh! I'm so sorry sister in law." Jeremy said as we bumped into each other.I smiled shyly at his words, Calling me that feels weird and at the same time soothing my heart.God blessed this family with beautiful kids! Just take a look at this creature beside me, he looks so hot but Makdon is hotter...God really took time in creating him with no flaws."it's okay, I was the one who bumped into you I'm sorry." I replied apologetically "We are both fine, what are you doing here?" He asked.Geez! How do I tell him I lost my way? Lisa! I'm so dump!"Uhh...uhhm...""You couldn't find your way back right?" He asked and chuckled"Y...Yeah.""I can see that well, I will lead you to Makdon's""Okay... Thanks.""I like you by the way, I'm sure you will make a perfect wife for my brother." He said to me.I just stared at the floor walking beside him. I actually don't know what to say.Though I blushed at his s
Lisa's - [P.O.V]They came nearer taking a look at me from head to toe while Nina sat down on the sofa smiling widely."Em... Good... Good morning sir, ma'am." I greeted with my head bowed.This is going to be hard."Morning baby girl, Lisa right?"The woman said while I nodded without looking up."You look absolutely stunning." She added"Yeah no doubt, you are welcome to the Nathan's mansion Lisa and Nina you did a great job by convincing her here." Mr Nathan said.Wait, what? Convinced?Don't tell me I fell for Nina's trick again!Wait what? Convinced?Don't tell me I fell for Nina's trick againI glanced at the mischievous lady who was grinning at me.I could have known but why will she even trick me here in the first pl
Lisa's - [P.O.V]Well I came for a morning walk out."Morning." I greeted trying to walk away."Morning, can you spare me some of your time jellybean?" He said again smiling widely at me"We can take a walk together you know.""What did you want Mr?""Luis, I'm Luis by name and I just want to be your friend." he replied while I scoffed.What's with him and smiling?"Friend? Why?""My spirit chose you jellybean.""I'm Lisa not jellybean." I rolled my eyes."your name is as beautiful as you are but permit me to call you jellybean because that's the name that suits a beautiful lady like you""Thanks for the complement and I'm okay with you calling me by my name." I said walking away"Come on jellybea
Makdon's - [P.O.V]"Love bug." I called immediately her face appeared on the laptop screen. I so much Miss seeing this face.It's been a week since the holiday began and it already seems like a year."Makdon, I miss you so much." She said sadly."I miss you too baby, how are you doing?""I'm not fine.""why? What happened?""You aren't here with me." She said pouting while my lips curved into a smile.She's so dramatic."Aww, I will come see you with the guys in two weeks baby, you don't have to miss me that much""But I do.""Whenever you miss me, count the sky and think about me then smile, I will feel it okay? With that it will subside.""Really?""Yes baby, home no idiot is stalking my own."
Makdon's - [P.O.V]"Did you understand?" I asked again impatiently.This time around Lisa came down from the car."It's okay Makdon let her go please." Her tiny voice echoed in my ear.She held my hand releasing June from my grip.I can see the hatred in her eyes but she didn't show it."Please go June right?"She said to her who stood up running off but not before shooting daggers at my Lisa.If she comes inches close to her, I will deal with her. That's a promise.I held Lisa's hand preventing her from walking off."I'm sorry love bug, I admit I was being foolish please forgive me baby."I took her up in a bridal style sitting hee beside me. Her right positionSlap!"That's for toying with my feelings."
Lisa's - [P.O.V]Tears welled up my eyes"You know I love you please don't leave.""M... Lisa... I love you."With that he closed his eyes entering deep into the water."Makdon no! Open your eyes and talk to me don't go, you know I can't leave without you"I began crying my eyes out and praying silently in my heart with our hands interlocked."Tada, catch ya."He said coming out of the water laughing so hard"Makdon!" I called and hugged him very tight."I'm sorry I scared you love bug.""Don't ever try that again, I thought I lost you." I said hitting his chest.My heart almost jumped out."I love you Lisa, at least you care so much about me babe ".Makdon's - [P.O.V]&n
Nina's - [P.O.V]"Wait up bro" I said to Makdon who was running off like a wanted criminal.My plan worked and I'm so happy about that.My happiness won't be complete when my brother's love life is a mess"What again Nina, I need to see Lisa right away. I have been so foolish hiding my feelings away from everyone. You made me realized how much I yearn for her.""Aww! My little brother is in love.""Nina.""Little brother.""I'm scared she might turn down my proposal. What if she doesn't Love me?""Stop being pessimistic bro, I won't support the idea of you meeting her in the dorm. I have a very perfect idea. I have the feeling she loves you more than you can imagine.""What's the idea then?""Watch me bro ".I b
Lisa's - [P.O.V]"It's boring let's play a game." Nina announced as Kelvin and Makdon exchanged glances"Yeah, it will kill the boredom." Kelvin said"So which he should we play?"Makdon asked"15 questions or Truth or Dare." Nina said while I choked on my spit.I despise that game Truth or Dare with passion. It makes me go nervous and scared, the questions are what I can't answer"What! No, we will go for 15 questions." I said"No truth or dare.""15 questions.""Truth or Dare.""It's okay, we are going to vote for the game we will play. Majority carries the vote, Lisa which did you like?""15 questions.""Makdon you?""Truth or Dare.""Kelvin."
Lisa's - [P.O.V]"Yeah, like you Know I'm Lisa Talon, my father's sponsoring me. I'm his only child and I lost my mum at a young age." I said monotonously."Your love life?" She asked while I shrugged"I only have an ex, no boyfriend.""Wow! You mean as pretty as you are no boyfriend?""I chose not to date.""Okay okay""Now about you.""Nina Nathan, Makdon is my twin, came from the family of 5, I, Makdon, Jeremy, mum and Dad. I don't have a boyfriend but got a crush on my brother's friend Kelvin. We came together.""I wish I had siblings." I said sadly. Aside dad, I don't have any family.No one to do some crazy things with, especially a sister to do girly stuff with."C'mon I'm your sister okay? Take me as one.""And I'm your f
