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 name
I just wish he will give me a single attention one of this days
I so much love him despite his cold attitude
He's not just handsome, he's well built, most successful bachelor, he has taken over the business world at such a young age
Isn't he worth admiring? He's every lady's dream! Rich and handsome
"Yes, he came here today" he said and I furrowed my eyebrows
What 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.
Claudia's - [P.O.V]He glanced at me and I smiled at him."I know you are still mad at us over your mother's death but truthfully, no one pushed her. We were having an argument and her hand slipped from the stair treads, we both didn't see her on time and she fell""Our only mistake was having an argument on the stairs, I hurt your mother but believe me son, I regret my actions and I will live with the guilt forever. I want my son back, forgive us please"He said in a cracked voice.Edna's Mum stepped forward in tears."This is all my fault, everything that happened was caused by me. If only I never showed up. I am really sorry Talon, please forgive me."I glanced at Israel who stood expressionless."Don't you think you've harboured this hatred enough? It's high time you let go of t
Lisa's - [P.O.V]I felt a bit sweatly as I walked down the stairs case.Years has passed since I moured the lost of my mother.I couldn't go to school we had it all planned out since she fell Ill.It took me years to recover from her disappearance.It was time, I started school too.My eyes searching for my father in the parlour.I hung my school bag dragging my box along with me.I just got admitted into College and it's a stay till term over."Dad I'm set." I informed as I got to the kitchen where he was preparing pancakes and bacon.That's my favorite, I guess he's preparing it because he knows I might not taste it before coming back for a holiday."Lisa I will miss you greatly baby."dad said in a sober tone"I will miss you t
