CHAPTER SIXTEEN
“How was school today? It was your first day at school, how do you find the school so far?” Aunty asked after she had come back from work, we were seated in the living room immediately after dinner, Melissa was already complaining about her new school, it was just around Aunty Sue’s place of work so she drove them to school and took them back home after she was done at work, she said she would be taking them to school and taking them just to save the cost of taking a bus to school, I don’t know what we could have done without her, she was heaven sent, I had just been fired from my small job back in Chicago and with my mom’s death I don’t know what I could have done without her, my sisters needed me and they were not old enough to take good care of themselves, I just had to step in as their guardian but all thanks to Aunty Sue, she was really a great help to us, at that time I didn’t even know if I could be driving myse

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN“You never told me where you were going, you just vanished out of thin air, never replied to my texts or responded to my calls, what happened?” I asked Alyssa the next day we met it was after the morning class and we were heading to the cafeteria, I didn’t take breakfast because I woke up late the following day, my aunt was long gone and I had a class in thirty minutes time so I just washed my face and drove all the way to school, Alyssa didn’t pass by that day so I was all by myself to school, I was ten minutes late but I was lucky because the lecturer was not yet in neither was Alyssa and Caitlyn, they were nowhere to be seen so I was forced to sit with Maeve who was all smiles when she saw me, I don’t know why I started feeling she was somehow trying to get at me, like she wanted to be close o me to piss off her friend or maybe my instincts were lying to me, she was not just a straight forward person, she was hiding som

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN“So this is it huh?” I asked as she led me into the house, I don’t know how I was convinced to go to her house, it was the first house I was visiting ever since I moved to England of course after my aunt’s and to say the truth, Maeve was living a pretty good life, as she led me into the house while showing me around my eyes could not stop to admire the beauty of the house just from the moment I entered through the main door.“Hmm…kid of but I have something I want to show you, just like I promised you, it is a cool place you can just be there an think about your life, no pressure no nothing, you will love the place I swear but meanwhile just be patient with me please, here follow me” she ushered me I and I was awed by the beauty of the house from the inside, everything in there was screaming moneyAs we entered through the front door, w passed through a grand hallway.

CHAPTER NINENTEEN“What the hell Maeve! I thought you said you had a lot of work to do and you didn’t want to hang out with me since you had a lot of work to do, so this is the work you were talking about? Hanging out with him and not only that but you were all over him kissing him all over, even after what I told you? That is not fair at all, I trusted you, but this, I can’t forgive you” Alyssa ranted and I wondered why she was and at Maeve, she had a boyfriend and it is not like she wanted me anyway so I was free to be with whom I wanted, it wasn’t her right to choose people I could be and could not be with, girls can be so dramatic sometimes , so I was like a pawn in their game, you know the moment Alyssa walked on us, I froze at the moment, it was not like I was afraid of her or something, it was just that I was not expecting to see her at Maeve’s place, it was unexpected“What is wrong if I hang out with Dylan,

CHAPTER TWENTY“What do you think your aunt will say if she sees me?” She asked as we drove to the road that connected to my house and I just chuckled, I didn’t get why she was so tensed o with meeting y family yet she was the one that suggested and actually came up with the idea of meeting them, I wasn’t sure about it but she insisted and I couldn’t just say no to her, something I had come to realize is that I could never say no to her, she always got a way to get her way around when I was around her“Nothing much, why are you worried about what she would say, it is not like she is going to judge you whatsoever, we are not dating plus she is not that type of a judgmental person, she is a sweet being you can never be bored around her” I said as I remembered the way my aunt will always crack jokes with us, I was always free around her and would talk about absolutely anything“Oh, really? She seems to be co

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE“So, tell me more about yourself, I haven’t seen you around here” Aunty Sue asked Maeve as she helped her lay the table, she was suddenly so interested in knowing Maeve unlike when Alyssa was around to see Dylan, her interest was suddenly in Maeve”Hmm…there is nothing important about myself, it is boring actually, apart from staying alone all by myself with my dad out there at Cambridge” she said and Dylan’s aunt turned to look at her, in a s much as she admired her beauty and her personality, she wasn’t expecting her to say that, she knew that she was probably a spoilt rich kid who was being taken care by house helps, but to her utter surprise the girl was different from what she had expected, she was calm, composed and was social too, the few minutes she was around her, she already knew the type of person she was and she thought she would recommend her nephew to sate her, that wa

Are you afraid of what people will say, or are you just not into me and you are into my friend, Alyssa or maybe you are ash

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE“I can’t believe your ant told you that, I mean, how free are you with her that you talk about anything? I would like to have such a relationship with my dad but you see he is always busy with his work that he forgets he has a daughter somewhere around here” Maeve said that night as they prepared themselves to sleep, she had just gotten out of the shower and Dylan was done with talking to his aunt, they were just talking about what his aunt had just told him“I don’t think he feels that way for you, your dad loves you it is just his works needs sacrifices, but he provides everything for you does he?” Dylan asked and she nodded absently“Of course he does, I can’t complain but that is not all I want from him, he is my father for heaven sake and the only thing he can do is be there for me especially after what happened to mom, was only a kid when mom died and the least he could do was

CHAPTER TWENTY FOURThe truth about his father really tore him apart, he didn’t know whether he was supposed to be happy that he had finally found his dad, or sad that his hopes were just being raised but he was not still alive or maybe he was, Dylan was just confused and didn’t know what to do or say, he remained stupefied looking at the picture and comparing it with the copy he had on his phone, it was the same man that he believed was his father, it was the same man that his mom told him to look for after she was gone, Maeve’s father was the only one that could know about his whereabouts since the two worked together and from what Maeve had told him that night, his father was a great friend to her dad and their family as a whole, he also learnt that his father was a lawyer cum doctor and that they one day worked with Mrs. Baker on a certain case before she died, and his wild thoughts already had guesses on what could have happened to him, or maybe the two g
