"Where is she?" Asked Smiles after settling down from her rush of emotions."She's fine, at home" he explains.She nods, smiling."I am so happy for you" she congratulates. He smiles back at her sweetly."I wish to meet her…can you take me to her, or the other way round?" She asked but he shakes his head in denial"You can't," he tells her to his face. She needs not to see the person because she is the one.She frowned in dissatisfaction, glaring at him."Why?" She asked, demanding a reason."'Cause I don't want you to meet her now… you will get to meet her the day we will officially throw her a welcoming party…at least, that will be worth a surprise " he explains and she nods in understanding."That's great!" She said smiling. Just thinking about it made her wish she had found her own family too."By the way, you didn't come to work today, why?" She was curious and concerned."That's because I no longer work here," he tells her. She nods."You're with your dad?" She asked but he did
It's been days now, Smiles spent it working. Lately, Keane hasn't come to her and it hurts. She knows he had his work and other things but she just couldn't take away the feeling of wanting to be close to him every time. Sitting on the royal blue sofa in the living room, she types on her keyboard aiming at completing her workload Her days of absence in the office left her with piles of undone work and files to read. She will wake up and go to bed with them in her hands, like her daily routine. Keane walks in with Lisa. They seem to be talking to someone as Lisa giggles, grabbing Smiles' attention that was on her laptop screen. The sight of Keane kissing Lisa on the forehead was what welcomed Smiles as she stared at them, trying so hard to act normal and casual. She caught a gaze with Lisa whose lips widened in a friendly smile. "Hi there…didn't know I will be meeting you here," said Lisa, happy to see her as she makes her way and takes the sofa next to Smiles. She could only
"What's wrong?" She heard him asked, but had no response to give him. There was more to what she was feeling. How can she tell him she's falling for him? That's just too much for her, she knows she can't have him but telling him the truth will only make things worse causing her even more pain. "Nothing, master," said Smiles with hea lowered. She can't possibly look at him right directly, or she will be exposed."Really?" He asked again. This felt weird somehow.Why was he eager to know how she feels?Or has he found out about her true feelings for him?She swallows, shaking her head in denial.He walks to her, tilting his head to the side as if trying to figure out something about her.He stood tall before her, staring down at her as if trying to figure her out."Get up" his sudden command startled her but she quickly responded.She met his hot gaze staring at her unwaveringly, there was just so much to it than she could tell.He just kept on gazing down at her, not saying anythi
Climbing down the stairs, Smiles saw them together as he kept on stroking on her hair while she closed her eyes feeling the sweet sensation.She bites on her lips looking away from them, and makes her way to the kitchen where she quickly pours out her drinks and leaves without looking back.She spent the rest of the day inside, keeping herself busy with the paperworks.She didn't know when she slept off and only woke up to a new day. It was the day Derrick is throwing a welcoming party for his sister and she has to be there…she must or else she won't have another opportunity to meet her and Derrick won't want to give her another chance.This got her wondering if Keane will attend 'cause from the look of things, the two friends don't seem to get along. It's none of her business anyways.Going down for breakfast, Keane was seated on the dinning in his usual seat quietly eating."Good morning, master!" She greets taking her seat by the side.He didn't bother answering her and says"We'r
"Yes child…I am fine" he touched her cheeks, smiling at her."Excuse" he turns and walks away. Smiles could only stare at his back confused. One minute he is fun and happy, the next he is sad and looking all regretful."No doubt he's Derrick's dad," she thought, taking her seat."Ladies and gentlemen…I call you all here today to join me in welcoming my daughter, whom due to misunderstanding, she got separated from us but now, she is in our midst…with us, looking as beautiful as ever," he said. The crowds start murmuring, asking questions upon questions. Some are eager to see who that daughter is, others talking about his past story, on how he lost his wife and child while others wish they were the one to be called the little Ms of the Wright's family."I know you all must be wondering who this person is but not to worry, she is here with us…like I said, she's in our midst but we will introduce her…though not now. To begin this wonderful celebration, let's have a toast for finally bein
"I present to you, my sister…the one I've been searching for, longing to see all my life…Smiles Laverne, who will be known from now on as Smiles Wright, daughter of Mr Emile Wright and the most treasured sister of Derrick Wright" he said leaving the crowd in complete awe, silent everywhere.No one could have ever thought she was the daughter of Mr Wright, not even in their second life.Xena and Mark were the most shocked, speechless. The truth came hitting them hard and they felt bad for belittling her all this while.Grandma Shiley and grandpa Jimmy were the happiest, they knew it from the very beginning, the moment they set their eyes on.What excites them most is she is their grandson's wife. Little did they know she was nothing to him but his sex slave.Smiles stood frozen to her spot, unable to believe what he just pouted.She stares at him, demanding an explanation, hoping he's joking but his gaze said it all, he wasn't lying.She stares at the crowd, then Derrick before turnin
It wasn't like there was something she could do but it pains to know she died giving life to her and she didn't have the chance to say 'thank you' and to even let her know how much she loves her for everything."And me…how did I end up in the orphanage?" She asked in between her sobs. Mr. Wright stares at her, unable to speak. What was he to say? That he chased her mom away with her being pregnant for him?That he was misled and made a terrible mistake? Like, who the fuck will accept such an excuses?"This is not the right place to discuss this…can we all go inside?" Derrick said, breaking the awkward silence."No…I want to hear it all, here and now" Smiles interjected, unwilling to let go. She's been asking herself this question for what seems like a hundred times but never got an answer to it.At first, she was mad at her mom, thinking she left her in the orphanage because she didn't want her. She was wrong to quickly just her mom and she regrets it after hearing the reason behi
Smiles wakes up the next day in an empty bed. Her head throbs as a frown appears on her forehead because of the unbearable pain.Climbing off the bed, she was welcomed by her nakedness staring at her in the face.Of course, she didn't have any clothes on because it was Keane who bathed her the night before and he had no time to look for her dress.A smile spread on her lips for the first time since she returned from the event.Without any further delay, she hurriedly put on her dress and rushed down for breakfast..She was met with scramble eggs and toast served on the dining table alongside a glass of milk. A little white container was by the side, with a note on it.The first thing she did was pick on the note and read what it says"Eat your food before taking the medication…dosages indicated by the side…stop thinking and be good" She was as red as an apple as she stared at the notes, smiling.Even though nothing was romantic about it, it felt good to know he cared somehow.Taking
