Jeremy was the first friend I ever made since high school, we tell each other everything from our first high school crush to my very first girlfriend, I always tell him everything because to me he was more than a friend, he was my brother. I couldn’t believe my ears when Delle and Amy revealed that he was involved in my accident.
“I know you will label me as a bad friend but I didn’t really have a choice, she was threaten to kill her if I say a word. Am sorry” He said or rather ramble.“Calm down and explain whatever you’re talking about?” I said.“Your mom”He said.“What did she do?”“She was the cause of your accident”“Am sorry, you say what”“S-She said she wanted you not to be with her and she was going to do whatever it takes to do that”“Wanted me not to be with who?” I asked.“With Amelia”“And how do you know about all of this?”“Remember when you were in the hospital and needed someone to get your clothes from home and I offered?” He said and I nodded remembering how much I hated wearing those stupid hospital gowns.“Well, I went to your house and overheard your mom and Josephine talking about how the accident really occurred and how they wanted to kill Amy”“And why are you just telling me this?” I asked in a frustrated tone. He had about five or probably even six years to tell me about this and is just telling me this now.“I couldn’t, I can’t really risk Amy dying. Your mom was planning on killing and only stopped when I promise not to tell a single soul about your relationship with Amelia. I know how much you are crazy about her but I only decided to tell you this because she is planning something”“And what exactly is it?”“I have no idea, she has started cutting me off from any form of communication about Amy or even Joe”“How do I trust you on this?”“Hmm….How about showing you the video on who was instructed on hitting you” He showed me a video of me going to some sort of place and driving towards some sort of junkyard and then my mom’s secretary told me something before getting me out of the car. The next thing I know, he went to his car and I was still standing in the yard and in a twinkle of an eye, I was hit by the man.Francis was mom most trusted wing man, he always carry out her orders without questioning her but I can’t actually believe he will go this far, he has been like a butler or something I would rather call an uncle or something. Whenever Mom and Dad isn’t around for my most important celebrations like birthdays, school matriculation, School graduation and even when I started and when I started my own company, he was always there to congratulate me and make sure I don’t feel alone.I didn’t even know when the tears started rolling down. Why does it have to be the people I trust? First Jeremy, then Uncle Francis and Mom even though I suspected how much Mom hated Amy, I never knew she could go to this length. What if I had died?………Why does my life have to be so complicated?Jeremy and I went to the penthouse together after picking up Daniel and phoning Delle and Scott to meet me there.“Are we forgetting the fact that he knew the truth about your accident and decided to keep it a secret from all of us?” Delle said while glaring at Jeremy.“Or even the fact that he is working with your mom” Scott said.“Or probably the fact that he might tell your mom about Daniel and I after this meeting and have us killed” Amy said.“I swear am not going to do that” Jer said.“As much as I would like to do that. No thanks” Amy said.“He didn’t mean to do it, he wanted to protect you” I said and Scott scoffed.“And he couldn’t have given me or even Delle an heads up on the situation”“Am sorry” Jer said looking dejected.“Sorry isn’t going to cut it. You have to earn our trust” Amy said and we all agreed.“How?” He asked.“Pretend you’re still on their side and in case there is any new development, make sure you inform one of us immediately”Delle said and he nodded.I decided to go home the second day so that to try to know if I could get anything on what Josephine is planning.I got to the house and met my mom and Joe having a conversation.“There he is” Joe said when I walked in.“Is there any problem?” I asked.“How in the world would you leave a pregnant woman alone in this house.” Mom scolded.“I explained to her that I needed to finish up my work so as to have time for her and the baby.” I said.“Your job can wait but right now, Joe and the baby needs you the most” She said.“We need to hasten your wedding date” Mom said and I immediately tense up.“We can’t” I said.“And what is the reason for that?” Mom asked already looking angry.“Because Dad still has issues with leaving Paris and I want him to be here” I said.“Are you implying that we give the media a chance to start trash talking about how I am pregnant before marriage” Joe said.“All am saying is for us to wait for probably a month or two before we start the wedding plans. Dad should be able to be back by then” I said.“He is right Joe” Mom said and I thank God for her supporting me.That means we all have around a month or two to figure out a way to stop both my mom and Joe…….I decided on taking both Amelia and Daniel out of the country to Paris and meet Dad. As much as I hate to admit it, he, Delle and Scott are the only ones I trust right now. I wanted him to know about both of them and to know that he has a grandchild.“Are you sure about this?”Amelia asked when we were about entering the house.“Yes, he has a right to know about everything” I said while trying to adjust Dan who has fell asleep on my shoulder.“If you say so” She said while we entered the big and exquisite apartment. Dad always have eyes down for expensive shit ranging from his apartments, to cars he owned, to his hotels and bars and whenever anyone tries to explain that he shouldn’t spend money on useless stuffs, he replies with “You only live once, make good use of it”. He and Mom filed for a divorce immediately I graduated from college, to outsiders, they were the most lovable couple but we the kids know that that was far from the truth. They are always on each other nerves and ser
Dad and Amelia alongside were bonding, it was a beautiful sight because dad always complains about every one of my girlfriends, about how they are not good enough for me. He was smiling and it is the first time I have ever seen him smile this much. I didn’t want to loose this. I want to have a family that will be worry free but for any of that to happen, I have to find a way to get Josephine out of my life and make sure neither her nor mom tries to do anything to Daniel or Amelia.“What do you say to me giving you a tour round Paris?” I asked Amy while Dad and Daniel are sorting out his lego collection.“What about Daniel?” She asked.“Dad can babysit, Delle told me how much you love the museum. How about we go there? Dan and I can fix a date for later” I said and she grinned.“Really…… I haven’t been to a museum in years. When do we leave and what do I wear?” She asked unable to control the happiness radiating from her.“How does the next thirty minutes sound and you can wear somethi
I couldn’t have a sound sleep not when I knew what my mom was capable of doing now the secret is out. I can’t even begin to imagine what her reaction will be. I didn’t want to jeopardize Amelia’s safety, I needed to act fast and the faster I do that, the better.“You look as if you didn’t get a lot of sleep” Amelia said when I got downstairs the next morning.“That’s because I didn’t”“Why?”“Mom knows”“About…………”“About the fact that we had a date yesterday. I don’t know what she is going to do”“And Daniel?”“She doesn’t know about him”“Which is why Daniel will stay here with me while you guys sort out the problem with your mom” Dad said while walking into the kitchen.“I can’t just leave Daniel alone here” Amy said.“You don’t really have a choice. We need to think about his safety, if she notices that you’re going around with a kid, she will put everything together and will soon realize that Daniel is Ethan’s kid. The important thing we should make sure of is that she shouldn’t
Everyone who are not close with me will think that Mom is my biological mom but that wasn’t the case. It happened when I was around twelve and when Delle was about nine. Mom and Dad had an argument about work and dad decided to leave the house in order for the two to calm down. Mom decided that she was going to work so as not to think about the argument. Delle and I were left at home alone with Uncle Francis. One minute we were having movie marathon, the next minute, we were in the hospital after learning that mom committed suicide. Dad was inconsolable and it was the hardest thing to explain to Delle that she wasn’t going to see mom again.Dad and So called mom Sophie got together about two years after mom died, I thought I was going to be angry about it but I wasn’t. She took good care of us and was always there for us. To others, Stepmothers were horrible creatures but she was more than anything to me, even though she never attends any celebrations we had or congratulate us, she a
“The police have begin investigation following the arrest made on Mrs Sophie Anderson for her involvment in her son Ethan Anderson accident which took place six years ago and for the suspected murder of Late Mrs Florence Anderson. The suspect is said to be involve in both incidents and……….” Amelia turned off the televison before I could finish hearing whatever the presenter was saying.“You need to stop listening to any of the news pertaining to her” She said.“I can’t believe I called her my mom and I can’t believe she was living with us under the same roof for years not knowing she was the reason mom died” I said while crying. I couldn’t stop the tears. “Everything will be fine. She is going to get the punishment she deserves” She said while hugging me. “Am sorry I dragged you into this mess” I said.“Stop apologizing for stuffs you didn’t do. It isn’t your fault that we fell in love and I love the fact that we are together and everything has been sorted out” She said and I smile
We were all staring at each other until Daniel decided to break the silence.“Papi and I wanted to surprise you” He said.“I think it is your parents that surprised us” He said while I coughed. An indication for him not to tease us in front of Daniel.“Did you enjoy the holiday with Papi?” Amelia asked changing the topic and immediately started talking about places that he and Dad visited.“How about you tell me all about it when you take your bath?” Amy asked and he nodded while kissing to me before Amelia took him to his room.“Well, that was a nice surprise you gave us” dad said after they left.“Dad, please enough with the embarrasment”“Well, you guys are definitely moving fast” He continued and I groaned.“Am sorry about Sophie, I didn’t know she is that psychotic, I wouldn’t have leave you two under her care. I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that she killed your mom. Am sorry”“It’s okay dad. Everything has been resolved and that’s what matters the most, that Daniel a
Amelia and I had agreed on shopping together. Delle had to tag along complaining about how she needed new clothes, I mean she literally has a wardrobe filled with stuffs she rarely use. Does she really have to add to her collection of things she doesn’t use.“Am planning on buying some clothes, makeup, perfumes and probably underwears” She said to Amy while they walk ahead of me. Do they even realize that we came together?.“So I have like six IKEA bags. Should be enough?”Delle said and I stared at her.“You’re planning on buying stuffs in six IKEA bags?” I asked in an alarming tone while the duo chuckle.“I bought two extra just in case” Delle replied before they enter the store. I am DOOMED.“So I need likean oversized hoodie, crop top, T-shirts probably some jeans like the baggy type and just some normal shirts”Delle listed while Amy nodded before the search began.“Any colour in mind?” Amelia asked.“Hmmmm……let’s see maybe anything with pink, blue, black, orange or white” Delle re
Work was getting more hetic, I was trying to finish all the work I had but I never it could be this much.I was a little bit halfway done when my secretary walked in. Ever since I sacked the last one, I have been wary of who I had to employ and had to employ one of Dad’s former worker Julius. He knew what I needed and was always ahead of me by making sure work is intact and there are no mistakes.“You have a visitor” He informed and I frowned. I wasn’t expecting anybody.“Who is it?” I asked and he said it was Amy and a smile was immediately on my lips.“Let her in” I said and he nodded.“You look stressed” She said immediately she sees my face when she entered.“Work is much” I replied.“How about you take a break and have lunch. I prepared your favorite” She said and I smiled. I missed her.“This tastes heavenly” I said once I had a bite. I needed to finish all my work and have some alone time with her. I needed her. It was as if I am addicted to her, she is my drug.“Are you still
