Wilson took his daughters hand in his as he sat beside her on the bed. "Amelia... I told you before that I am having your mom followed, right?" He said in a low voice. Amelia's bright eyes suddenly turned sad. She remembered he told her about her mother being married with another family of her own and yes he did mention that he had someone watching her. She nodded her head slowly and said in a sad tone "Yes, you did" Wilson looked at her and he could see the pain she felt remembering her mother in such a way. He felt a sting of guilt within him but it was already too late,there's nothing he can do now. Wilson said in a low voice "I got an information that she's relocating and no one knows where she's going this time"He said. Amelia narrowed her eyes and said in a sad tone "What about her knew family, Is she leaving them too?" Amelia asked. "Yes.. She's leaving them" He said looking away from her. "But why... Why does she keep leaving?" She asked. A cloud of tears already cove
Riya met with the lady at her office the next day. She had gotten there a little earlier than their agreed time and she was made to wait in an open space at the corner of the office entrance. Unlike the first time when she visited, she was the only person waiting. Riya took the opportunity to explore the beautiful paintings on the wall. There was a spherical object that portrayed the world's shape and design. As she rolled it from one curve to another, she heard footsteps approaching her. Riya turned around to see the lady standing a few steps away from her. She straightened herself up and cleared her throat. "Hello, Ma'am... Sorry I was carried away by the beautiful designs" She said pointing at the paintings on the wall. "It okay, Riya... I'm glad you like them" She said walking over the popular Monalisa giant painting that hung on the right end of the wall. "That's my favourite art piece" Riya remarked as the lady's hand ran through the painting slowly. "You've got eyes"
Riya stood up staring Mr Bernard in shock. He looked exactly like Maxwell except that he was older and his face looked elderly. She bowed her head as they approached her and said in a low voice "Good day, sir and ma" The beautiful smile on the woman's face made Riya's heart melt. The elderly man simply went to take a sit on the opposite couch while the woman sat closely beside him. They looked very beautiful and calm. Riya could see the beautiful look on their faces as the glanced at each other occasionally. "Two much love for such old couple" She thought to herself and smiled sheepishly. The lady who had brought Riya took a sit beside her as the conversation started with Mr Bernard inquisitive questions. "What is your name, Ms?" He asked as he collected the file that the lady had brought with them. "My name is Riya... Riya Wilson" She said in a clear tone. Bernard nodded his head slowly as he glanced through the remaining pages of the file. "I'm impressed with your personal
Amelia stared at Maxwell in fury as he walked away leaping towards the door."You do not walk out on me" She commanded.Maxwell stopped walking and without looking back he said "I thought we're done with this conversation" He said in a low but clear tone.Amelia let out a scoff "We're done talking when I say we are not the other way round" She said in mockery."Can I ask you a question?" Maxwell said turning around slowly to face her.Amelia stared at him in silence without a reply. Maxwell asked in a calm tone "Why do you hate me?"Amelia tilted her head and let out a short laugh. "I do not just you Maxwell, I hate you so much" She said in a cold tone.Maxwell's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at her in shock."I hate you because you're an associate of my father and I also hate you because you disgust me with your constant presence around me." She said sounding very angry.Maxwell stared at her for a few seconds without a word and walked out of the ward moving faster than his
Harrison passed by without looking at her direction. She kept mute until he was completely out of sight before letting out a reliefing sign.She knew that Harrison seeing her meant that her uncle will find out about her visit and did not want that to happen. Even if he eventually finds out, let it be after she's gone.She hurriedly walked into Maxwell's ward only to find him asleep.She stared at his sleeping face for a while before turning around to leave.Maxwell moved slowly on the bed and opened his eyes when he saw something like like a silhouette while adjusting on the bed."Riya..." He called out slowly sitting upon his bed."Oh Maxwell I didn't want to wake you up" Riya apologized walking back towards his bed."I thought I was dreaming when I first saw you walking out... It's so good to have you here again" Maxwell exclaimed looking very excited."It good to see you Maxwell.... I hope you feel better?" She asked staring into his eyes closely."Yes... I will be discharged tomo
Harrison walked over to the ward staring at Maxwell as he approached the hospital bed.Riya sat there with her back against him as she shut her eyes tightly.He stopped moving all of a sudden as his ear pod began to flash green light while his phone buzzed. He picked up the call on his phone and in a flash of light he was out of the ward.Riya let out a reliefing sigh as he walked out of the ward. She glanced at Maxwell and they both let out a short scary laughter.Maxwell stared at her for a while as she tried to catch her breath. "What happened?..." He said in a low tone. Riya tilted her head and said "Huh...what?" pretending not to know what he was talking about. "You were never so scared of having Harrison in a room, what changed?" He asked further. The look on her face when Harrison walked in was very alarming and he didn't understand why she ducked her head in her jacket at his presence. Although not a regular visitor as the Wilson's house, Riya was one who could come and
Amelia stared at her father in anger "What kind of father leaves his daughter without a word?" She asked rhetorically."Amelia I am sorry... It was an emergency and my presence was important" He said."Where did you go?" She asked angrily."I went to New York for business" He answered immediately.Amelia chuckled and said "How am I sure you're saying the truth?" She asked."Dad I want to be treated like I matter to you and not like I am an option, is that too much to ask?" She said."I promise you that's what I am trying to do" He said walking slowly towards her."Well.. You ain't doing it well enough, you keep traveling and you're never around" She cried out.Wilson knew for sure that his daughter was telling the truth but he didn't expect her to act this way so soon.This was indeed a proof that she was completely into him now.Maybe he could start telling her stuffs that she needs to know."I am sorry, I'll do better" He said tapping her shoulder.He pulled her into a hug and held
Amelia walked up to Laurel in anger. She held tight to her folded fist, ready to pounce on Laurel at any opportunity."Why were you laughing?" She asked in anger.Laurel stood staring at her in silence.Maxwell glanced at Wilson who was still sitted at the spot unwilling to concern himself with whatever was going on with the ladies."Who do you think you are?" Amelia roared making Maxwell even more uncomfortable.He stood up and walked towards them in the living room.He cleared his throat and said "Laurel, I'm sure you never wanted to mock....my wife but you did anyways" He said glancing at Laurel and Amelia as he spoke."I think this is the best time to apologise" He said casting a long stare at Laurel.Laurel glance at Wilson who sat at the dinning unwilling to say a word.She snared at Amelia and Maxwell before muttering a quick apology. "I'm sorry" She said looking to the floor.Maxwell glanced at Amelia gesturing at her to accept the apology.Amelia on the other hand was rather
