Six months later we traveled to edini city. Mrs Thomas suggested that since we had named the baby with Thomas family name, she had to be presented to the ancestral hall in the mansion. She claimed that the baby will be blessed and protected. Neither l nor Alec argued about it. In addition to that, Tonny Alec's personal assistant'wedding was around the corner. It was planned to take place in Edini city. Thus this journey was inevitable. It was Saturday night when we landed. Unlike the past visits to Thomas mansion, this time it was filled with people of different ages every where. Is the Thomas family very big? I couldn't help but ask Alec. Yes there are so many people who live in different cities. They normally gather here when some thing important came up. He explained. I nodded. Most of these people ain't easy to deal with and they are greed for healthy in this main branch. We have to be cautious of every one here. Although l dealt with the person who staged the original Alec's p
The kids were still asleep but with the help of their nannies, every thing became easy. Few minutes later we stood at the entrance of a gigantic door. It was not inside the mansion but attached to it in the sides. The door slowly opened on its own. A sharp lingering sweetness of incense filled my nostrils. Am not a fun of incense but this was too mouth watering. I inhaled it from time to time as we entered the hall. Like the dinning hall and other important halls in the mansion, the ancestral hall was also cathedral ceiled. It's just a free space with only a red carpet. No chairs. When you just enter you are faced with the alter on which many pictures of old people are displayed.Most of the elders and other youths were present. Old man also the family's only grandpa left on earth took lris from me. He also called the other three kids to go to the alter. He then knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Our dear great ancestors both paternatal and maternal ones l greet you all l present
You being a rich sometimes feels you are guilty of many things. And people treat you are you no human. That you have to give in to all their demands. Take Linda for example. She is a greed person and always want more even though she knows it's out of her reach. Mrs. Thomas said.Back then her father was a royal servant of my husband. He was a good mannered man and also keep others safe. As a reward for his hardworker, my husband arranged a marriage between the two families and also sent Linda abroad to study further. My husband died and in that very year my oldest son disappeared. So Alec had to marry Linda. Anyway there wasn't any choice made who should marry her when the arrangements were made. And that time Alec needed a wife for business.He treated her well and she never lacked anything. But she was deceived by others to betray her husband and the family. Now she keeps on pestering us as we owe her. She is just shameless. She added.So that what happened. I thought inwardly. I di
Alec recorded a video himself where he saidGoodmorning every one. My name is Alec Thomas. Some of you may know me and others don't. Am the current ceo of Thomas group. And am here to clarify the rumors spread about my wife.My wife and l met two years ago and fellow in love with each other. At that time neither of the two of us where married or had any partner.So it's ridiculous for miss Linda to call my wife a mistress when she clearly knows every thing. Miss Linda and l were married for two years but divorced due to her betrayal as you can see in the video below this one. Please don't abuse my wife and family more because of this matter otherwise l will be forced to give a lawyers letter. Thank you for your time. Alec's clarification was belief. After his video another played. In the video two people appeared. One man and the other woman. They were in a hotel room. Have you got the document l told you from Alec, the man asked. I got everything in my bag. I even found something
I would have left along time ago if this banquet wasn't organized by my dad. It's so boring that being in my bed would have been a better option. My dad organize banquets for his employees at every end of the year. He always makes sure that mum and l attend it with him. Last year was also the same. Boring me to death. The thing is that am not familiar with his employees. I don't come to the company oftenly even though both my parents keeps on nagging me to visit and familialise myself with the employees. I wonder how many times l have to convince them that am not interested in dad's line of business. I decided to move around the hotel may be to get fresh air. It will as well serves me right and also to escape from dad's unstop introducing me to his friends. As l just left the hall, my eyes landed on the familiar figure on the phone. Mr. Gavin! What is he doing here? I questioned myself inwardly. He was busy speaking on phone and l busy watching his every move, l couldn't take m
Our second meeting was two weeks after l helped him. By then I was done with my exams and decided to go to his house to see him. Except the nurse that was taking care of him, he was alone in the house working with his laptop. And he was doing fine. Seeing me, he smiled and called me princess. His smile was breathtaking beautiful but that didn't make my heart throb as the way the word princess left his lips. My parents always call me that. It just makes me feel like a pampered child of theirs. But with the way Mr. Gavin calls it, is different. It made the nerves with in me to be excited. Mr. Gavin took me to have lunch with him as a way of thanking me. I didn't refuse. Not because l was never taken to lunch outside by a man but l wanted to get more chances to be with him. We left his house which l was scared of before. Well it's not only me. Most of the neighbors here believe that the house is haunted. There is even a story that was circulating aro
Babes you finally decided to come to me. Eric said opening his arms wide for a hug. I hesitated for a while to go into his arms. Because am here to break such intimate ties with him. It feels bad but what can l really do about it? I just don't feel anything like love for him. Seeing that l didn't go for it, Eric raised his brows at me. Well l need to speak something serious with you Eric. I voiced out my head down. Hmm okay but first give me a kiss if a hug is difficult for you. He replied bringing his lips to me.l stepped back. Am sorry but my heart belongs to someone else. To another man and he is none other than your dad. His jaw dropped upon hearing my words. So we can't have anything between us. I really love him. I finally blurted out what was on my mind after going into circles the all day. You know he also.... Shut up you bitch! Just shut it up. He vexed out on me before l could even continue the sentence. His voice was so loud and l won't be surprised if the people in t
I donot know where am going actually. But the thing l know is that l dont want to go back home. Tears were still running down from my eyes. My mum has never laid her finger on me. o have been doing things and she would just scold me .At times she would ignore them too.But this time she choose to hit me.Was l really that wrong !.ls following your heart a crime! And it's a no for me.So this got me really sad and too much for me to handle. I drove the car far away from home.And it will be a lie to say that l even knows the route.l drove for almost two hours and I finally stopped at a motel where l checked in.lts in a remote area and l actually found it suitable for me to hide for a while. I will spend the nights here for days, a week or may months l don't know. Just like l wanted.A place far away from home.l got my bag only with me. I went to the room l was given. I opened it and it isn't that big like my luxurious room back home but it's enough for me as of now. It's not like l have
