But then Francis was just at the hem of my neck, encouraging me that Alexander was going to be mine; just a little bit more. Even though it never felt like that, it wasn't close to feeling like that.The walk to my room was heavy, it felt like bags of cement had been attached to my body, making it difficult for me to walk properly.The same question went over and over in my head: is Alexander going to ever see me as more?I went straight to my bed, everything was becoming more and more complex. As my back hit the bed, what happened that morning flushed through my head again.FlashbackI watched his car zoom out of the compound and I couldn't help but want to burst into tears. But definitely not in front of the people that called themselves my parents. I ran to my room and cried my eyes out. They didn't even try to run after me, the only thing was their voices escorting me to my
AlexanderThe headache I woke up with could be compared to an angry person banging on the door of whoever he wants to vex with.I tried searching for my phone and finally saw it lying just above my head. I hadn't taken the current state I was in fully.I switched on the flashlight of my phone and shone it around the room, it was an unfamiliar room. The time was a few minutes past 8pm.I sighed and sat upright, carefully resting my head on the headboard. A gentle moan emanated from beside me, I gently took my phone and shone it around.“What the heck?” I jumped away from the bed and felt the cold sensation from the tiles on my bare ass.I took a good look at myself and noticed that I was naked. I searched for my boxers lying around the room and wore them quickly, same as my trousers.I found the switch to the light, turning it on immediately. Bree was naked as well. Her plump fair breast poked at me and I threw the duvet over her.“Wake up,” I hurried to her, waking her up from whateve
AlexanderDeciding to take a stroll out, I had given Nancy the necessary task to do and also gotten the latest update of what has been going on ever since I left.The information given to me by Damien that morning weighed me down. I felt guilty and responsible for how that woman's life turned out.After all the money he garnered from people, the best thing for him was to abandon his wife at a disabled clinic for the past 2 years. Not for once, going to check on her.And the only person who had her best interest at heart was forcefully taken away by me.I battled within myself if I should tell Melissa about my new findings. With the current level of hate she has for me, I'm pretty sure that it would skyrocket and by then it might be too late for any sort of forgiveness to happen between us.As I drove my car into the college's car park, my phone pinged and I looked at the content of the message.Only one person could say those words to me. I sat a few more minutes, debating whether she
Melissa I sat behind the desk occupied with the student's assessments. I had dropped them for a while and now, seeing them on my table, tall and frightening, they were beginning to choke too much. Janet was on her annual leave, there was no way she was going to help with this. She hated going home with school work and preferred everything that needed to be done in their appropriate places. “Melissa,” one of the teachers called out. I forced my head away from the piled up work. “Yes?” “There's a lady at the waiting room asking for you.” “Lady? Me?” I asked again like there was 2 Melissa in the office “Yeah, she gave a perfect description of you in short.” “Thank you, I'll be out soon,” I said, trying to wrap up the current book I was assessing. I was a huge fan of floral flared skirts and boot heels, it gave me the kind of confidence I seeked. And also, plus it made me look so good. I walked into the waiting room to find the lady that was claimed to be adopted into the Thatcher
AlexanderI strained my eyes at the light forcing it way in through the semi open curtains. I found my way to the window and closed it properly, I wasn't ready to get out of bed yet. I spent a greater deal of the night with Carl downstairs when I entered the house. Lady Selene and Bree had gone to bed, Sir Carlos was waiting for me before he could sleep. And we ended up talking about where I went and just jumping on random things.My phone chimed and I struggled to get to where it was. It was a message from Nancy.“Right on time,” I said aloud in my gruffy voice while opening her message.Damien is on standby sir, what do you need me to do?I placed a call to her immediately and she picked up at the second ring.“Good morning sir, Damien is here with me,” she said.“Great, hand the phone over to him.”The phone went silent for a while before Damien spoke.“Good morning sir, it's Damien.”“Damien, I know you keep a list of all the people I ask you to look into. So please do me a favor
AlexanderLast night outside her house, I couldn't help but notice her disgust under the balcony light when she walked that man out of her house. That man knew more about our relationship than anyone. Immediately her eyes locked with mine, she ran to himself and I could only hide myself before she came back.Her flashlight flashed the area where I once stood, she was desperately trying to find out who was stalking her.I got out and peeped through the sitting room window. Watching her tell Albert to keep quiet had me force my laugh in. Her friend wasn't helping matters either, she kept making the whole situation more funny.They all said grace and started digging in before Albert spoke up again, drawing her attention to the wrapped box Felix gave her during the day. He was definitely someone that couldn't keep his mouth shut.Immediately the wrapper went off and she raised the first note up, the three of them ran from their seat, straight to her back, cooing.She was surprised and did
Melissa The day transformed into dusk as soon as possible. I wondered how long I had slept for. “Knock knock,” Albert stood in front of my room. “Wakey wakey, you have a visitor.” I stretched my stiff hands and legs for a while. “Visitor? Who? Is it–” He cut me short quickly. “No it's not dad. It's someone else.” “Give me a few minutes, I'll be out now,” I discharged him. I helped myself into the bathroom, rinsing my face and other parts of my body. Whoever was looking for was deep rooted at the back of my mind. Well, for me to know who it is, I'll have to just see for myself. Janet was helping the kids dish out their food. I looked around only for me to see Francis sitting at the far end of the couch, waving and smiling at me. I got closer to him. “What do you want here? Haven't I told you not to come here again?” “Your kids weren't so nice, especially the one who came to call you out,” he pointed at Albert and I hit his hand down. “Don't ever point your hands at my kids,”
Melissa “Welcome home honey,” Janet threw her hands out immediately she saw me. “Tell me you won, that was why the Thatchers summoned you.” She didn't get the reaction she expected from everyone of us and just composed herself. She read the room, looking at the kids sullen behaviors and drawing out a conclusion herself. “Did something happen?” She asked, and of course no one gave her an answer. Aiden was always the friendliest who always said things the way they were but she was wrong that day. Aiden was beyond pissed. He grabbed his bag and headed straight to his room, Aurora followed suit. Albert grabbed an apple from the counter, walking in the direction of his room before facing me. “You two have a lot of things to catch up on, I'm going to leave you to that.” “Are you sure that kid's mine?” I asked Janet, still not understanding how difficult it is to decipher his emotion. “Well honey,” she took a spot right beside me. “Going by the resemblance he bears with Alexander, he's
Bree Normally I'd plan my next day the night before. And when I saw Alexander's impromptu arrival, I instantly believed that the next day would be as blissful as paradise. Even though I know that he doesn't look at me or regard me in a way that I would want, I still longed for his presence. And now the news they bore to me this morning was beyond devastating. Not only did it turn out that I was adopted, it also turned out that Alexander's supposed wife was their real child. The signs were there, I didn't take any of it into consideration. I didn't take the slightest resemblance from any of them. I should be angry with Alexander for knowing about it yet not saying anything. But then one could not really fault him. Mum and dad would have instructed him not to say a word about it. I found my attachment and my obsession toward him growing deeper and deeper. 2 of those kids who sat at the dining table looked so much like him. As I kept tossing and turning in bed, I heard noise downstai
