Brody's POVI drove into the compound and I was surprised to see Helen, my sister together with her son waiting outside. I quickly parked my car and came down from the car. Walking towards them with a smile, Diego hugged me and I giggled. "Hi, I didn't know you would come tonight." I told her.She chuckled. "Yeah, I lied. I know that." She said as we walked into my house. My maids went to carry Diego's bag to the guest room.I adjusted my tie and sat down on the sofa. "Sir, will you like to eat now?" Lisa, one of the maids asked.I shook my head and turned to look at Diego, admiring his attitude and face, I smiled. "Your son is really cute." I commented."Thank you." Diego appreciated and I beamed with excitement."I was hoping to see your girlfriend, where is she?" Asked Helen.I turned to face her as she sat down. "Girlfriend?" I asked back, shocked. I didn't know mom told them already. "We'll be visiting soon, mom told everyone about

Karen's POVI walked towards the door and tried to open it. It was already locked. My heart skipped a beat wondering how troublesome his children could be. "Tricia.... Alvin, open this door right now." I commanded in the most authoritative voice."Stay there for sometime, have fun." Tricia replied loudly from outside the door.The images of knives and sharp objects filled my head. "Don't go to the kitchen," I shouted, wondering if they heard me. When there was no reply, I sat down feeling dejected. "What do you think they're doing?" I asked."Planning a surprise." He answered, looking at his face, I wondered if he even cared about his children. "This is all your fault. I shouldn't have come to your bedroom.""I'm sorry, I didn't know the children will act like this." He apologized to me. I blamed myself for coming to his house. It was all my fault, I silently hoped Brody didn't call Emily to ask about my whereabouts.I looked at him and an id

Brody's POVLooking at her, I was totally confused. Why was it so hard for her to lie to him? "I'm his girlfriend." She finally told him."That's nice." "Thanks Diego, I've heard a lot about you from Brody." She lied and I chuckled silently."You're pretty and I can't wait for our family to get to know you when granny...." "Diego?" I interrupted and ruffled his hair, I didn't want him to tell her that my mother was coming. "You should go to your room now." I told him with a smile.

Brody’s POVIt had been so hectic for me. With my work going on smoothly, I knew my mom would definitely meet Karen. I knew it would be a BUMMER!I quickly closed my drawer as soon as Alex walked into my office and dropped a file on my table. “That’s the report, we’ve become the best soap-producing factory and I’m sure your dad would be proud of you.” I countered with a frown. “I don’t care.”His smile was feeling a little frozen. “How about Karen? I’m sorry, but I might not come for the party tonight.” He explained gently.I nodded swiftly. “Karen already knows about the party, and she already knows that my family would be coming. She’s not used to parties and fun, I was not sure if she would cooperate and pretend to be my girlfriend.” He replied. Alex fiddled with a pen before dropping it on the table. “I can’t wait for

Brody's POVThe atmosphere suddenly seemed boring and my mother climbed down from the stairs already dressed up in a long red gown for the party. "You look ravishing, mom." I commented."Thanks, you should probably get ready for the party too. The guests would be here soon."I smiled at her. "You don't have to be so anxious, I'll certainly dress up early for the party.""Did you see the makeup artist I brought for Karen?" She asked.I nodded. "I'm sure Karen would look fantastic." I told her with a smile. I was trying to make her happy and also like Karen. I just didn't understand why she disliked her "You might be right but her poverty has covered her beauty." She murmured.I became offended at her scolding words. "You don't have to insult her, she's also a human like you.""I never said she was an alien." Mom retorted."Mom, I don't…."She interrupted and aggressively whispered to me. "I don't like that girl."
