The entire Edini city isn't aware that Alec woke up a year ago. Many still believe that he is dead or still in a comma. That's why when we went outside he had to wear a mask. Even if he is going to work the mask never leaves his face.And for some selfish reasons l want himEdina sent me a message earlier. I told Alec. What does she want? What about Eric has he contacted you in the last few months? He asked. No l haven't actually heard from the two of them.They thought that l killed their mother thus ceased any communication with me. Unbeknownst to them is that upto now l don't know the person behind that woman's death. Edina was inviting me to her wedding which is due next month. It doesn't matter now and don't stress your self over other people's issues. If you don't want to go to the wedding it's okay. Don't go. You don't owe them anything. He said with unreadable expression on his face. What about you? Don't you want to be there? After all you raised them. I asked Alec. There
Ash here you are. Edina threw herself in my arms no sooner had l entered the restaurant. My secretary recommended it. It was opened recently. I told her to book a table for us however l was delayed because of some matters at the office. Oh slow down l might fall my dear. I jokingly whispered to Edina. I can't help it. I missed you so much. So much that sometimes l want to call you but am scared you won't answer or l will disturb you yet you are at work. She replied as if in the next moment tears will fall from her eyes. Okay, okay hug me however much you want and am here you won't miss me again. I said. She gave me a smile and hugged me more. I returned her smile. I hugged her too tightly. In fact l really do miss our old days where we used to hang out without any grieve for each other.Her hands also tightened on me. Okay stop crying. Let's sit down. I told the still sobbing Edina. Alright let's go over there. She replied. I had told my secretary to order our favorite dishes in adv
Edina walked slowly with her portrait which was tall to the size of a person. She was smiling admit the tears that flowed down her cheeks. Luckily the make up used is water proof or else it have been ruined by the tears.Silence. Yes the entire hall was silent. The only sound was her heels hitting the maple floor.Eric was also staring blankly at his sister. He stood with the groom men on the other side. At that time when a father give way his daughter, a voice from the portrait said... Am giving you the little princess of our family today. My daughter has never seen any grieve in life. Please take good care of her. Failure to do so l will make your life miserable in this world. There were giggles in the back ground . Dad don't spoil Edina too much.Who will happily marry her with such a warning? The one who said those words was obvious Eric. Hmm Eric don't worry about that my daughter is sensible beautiful and confident there will be line of men who want to marry her.Now let's cut t
As the guests are settling in their reserved seats, the wedding waitress were also busy filling each table with beverages and some snacks. And one thing liked about this reception is that it was family seats arranged. Because even on the wedding cards it was stated that the entire family is invited.Alec and l sat on the Maina family side My parent's went abroad a month ago so they couldn't make it to this wedding. In the morning l gave Edina the present they sent for her wedding.And that moment at the reception entrance, groomsmen, bridesmen, groomsladies, flower girls, and ring bearers) and immediate family members on Edina's maternal side lined up and made their grand entrance.The DJ played some upbeat music as he introduced couple's parents and some influential wedding party members. There was a woman who was introduced as Edina's maternal aunt but there wasn't anyone from her biological father's side. George represented Mr. Gavin per Edina's request. The newlyweds' then ma
When l woke up again it was noon. My tummy was like hallowed and kind of dizzy. Without doing anything l rushed downstairs. Big sister Alice am famished. Is there anything to eat? I asked our head housekeeper. Young madam sit on the table. I'll bring you something first. She replied and hurried towards the kitchen. I don't know what was wrong with me. In most case l can go until 2pm without eating something. But that day something was up with me. Bigsister Alice came with a glass of warm milk and l gulped it almost in one go. I ate cake too she brought afterwards and l felt some how better. Moments l was slightly peckish. I thus asked for lunch which was served right away. After eating my tummy was too full that l felt uncomfortable. I could only relieve it with an antacid.Big sister Alice mentioned about the kids going to a play date earlier when she was serving me but l was to focused on the food that l didnt ask where they went exactly. My phone had been in silent mode since yes
Moments later the dizziness was gone. I helped myself on the railing and l went to my room. Climbing all the stairs almost took my life. I was breathing heavily when l made it to the room. My lips were dry to the extent that there was blood in the middle of my lower lip. I drank a bottle of water that was on table besides my bed.I lay on bed flat.My tummy's discomforts were back again and this it was serious. I tossed on the bed. Curved into a ball few times but nothing was helping. The discomforts turned into unbearable pain.At this time l regretted not allowing Alec to call a doctor.l tried to get my phone to ring the doctor myself and only to remember that l have left the phone down stairs. Luckily someone opened the door. I heard tinny footsteps. I could only imagine that lsla was the one that came in before l blanked out.When l came back to my sense, l was welcomed by a white ceiling and the smell of disinfectants. I knew that l was in the hospital right away.But still l fel
Alec's point of view. It was there, l mean that sense of contentment when l entered the white villa after a long period of time. That is the thing l dont feel when am at the Thomas mansion in Edini city. Here it feels home. It's where l do belong but at the moment l wasnt enjoying it when my Ashina was suffering for our baby. I just finished the last meeting and decided to let her know that l was coming back. But Jane her secretary was the one who answered and informed me that she was in the hospital. Don't get confused. Ashina has two Janes . The one who is the kids' nanny and the other is the secretary at work. While rushing to the car to go to the airport, l asked her what happened. Ashina had informed me yesterday about her stomach discomforts and insisted that she was better. I stupidly believed her but apparently l made a grave mistake. I shouldn't have listened to her and call the doctor right away. Am not sure sir what. really happened to her. I called her several times a
Ashina's point of viewI had stopped going to work. Every thing that needed my signature had to be done online. However after my pregnancy was in the second trimester, l couldn't even sit on the chair to do work for more than two hours. My head was ever buzzing and am dizzy for minutes. Alec had to take over my roles even though he did not want to get involved in the company anymore. I was sick every day. No every second that at the beginning of the third trimester l thought that l was going to die. My family couldn't do anything but just sit in the living room waiting for what is next.And the kids would just ask me when am going to play with them again. And that would make me sad. However thinking about the other baby in my womb, l had to fight hard to keep my emotions at bay. Surprising the last month l didnt get any sickness and was relieved that am going to give birth happily.l would even walk around in the garden and play with my kids. Who would have imagined that Leyla Anthony
