An idea came into my head and I smile, all I had to do was make him forget about all this so I open my lips to speak. “You must still be wondering about my two dates, Monday and Tuesday.”
He stopped chewing his meal for a moment and glance at me, then he swallowed, sipping his wine and wiping off his lips with his napkin. “Yes, I am curious.”Now I got his attention and was sure that this would distract him from any punishment he must be thinking, even if he won’t hit me, as long as the word punishment was in it, I knew it would hurt.“On Monday was my friendship anniversary with Salsa and Daisy so we hanged out together, and the second was a date with my father …. He wants to remarry.” The thought of that excites me as I beam. “I’ll have a stepmother soon and a stepbrother.”Jeffery blinks and leans back to his chair folding his hands across his chest. “Why do we have so much in common?&rdqRelated chapters

After a lot of silence and tears, I took Jeffery to a bar, the worst place to end a birthday party, but what else can I do when his heart seems heavy and d he was In pain, also I heard that taking alcohol do relieve pain, even if that isn’t true.We sat down and ordered few bottles of soju and tex mex mixed with beef and chicken fajita ingredient served on a hot iron skillet. I poured a glass for Jeffery and he gulps it down, perhaps all the tears and talks had made him tasty.“Cindy let’s see my mother after now.” He spoke out of the blue and I blink, I wonder if he was already tipsy, but honestly, I was happy.The last time I saw Jeffery’s mother was during our childhood days and now I don’t think I could remember her face that much, also she had been so good to me in the past and had even treated me like her daughter, I was too little then and can’t remember what she looks like that much.“Okay, that is a good id

I arrived at the address Janet had told me about, when I got there I saw her pacing around and rubbing her hands together. “Janet,” I called out and she turned sharply and on her face was fear and worry. “What happened?”“I couldn’t find her anywhere, I have called her line and she isn’t picking up,” Janet told me as I held her hands. I wonder what was going on, but for something to make Janet this worried then it wasn’t good.“Have you checked at school?” it was late to be at school at this time, but I still need to ask.“She is not there, I have also checked her favourite restaurant and café.” She went on explaining. “I heard from two students that she failed her audition, I tried reaching her but she is not responding to her text and calls.”“We have to find her,” I said in a haste, the audition meant a lot to Kelly and I was scared that she might be cr

Jeffery’s POVI walked over to Cindy the next day in school, she looks okay and I knew by her expression that the emergency that had made her leave my house was resolved. “Cindy,” I called out and she turned to me.“Oh Jeffery, good to see you, I left my phone at your place yesterday, did you happen to see it?” I nod to her question and hands it over to her, she smiles and thanked me, but I just stare at her intensely.“Cindy, I happened to go through your pictures,” I said honestly and she looked up at me. “The man with you in that picture, who is he?” I asked her and a part of me wishes she would say it is someone else and not her father, a part of me want it to be someone she is not related to.“Oh, that’s my father.” She said with a smile on her lips. “Marcus White, he is very handsome isn’t he?” She showed me another picture of him, but I couldn’t return the smile

Let's break up, Cindy.Cindy blinks when I said the words and she raised her brow. "Hat did you just say?" She asked like she had not heard me."I don't love you anymore, so let's stop now," I spoke, but my heart was calling me a liar.Cindy smile and shook her head. "You are not being serious right now, you can't be, this must be one of your many jokes." She looks at my face and I was sure she could see the seriousness in it.She shook her head and the smiles on her face disappeared. "You can't joke with this." Her forehead puckered. "Are you breaking up with me?"I pressed down my lips, clench my fist under the table and exhaled softly, I can not watch Cindy crumble either, this was so difficult."As you heard," I said coldly."Why?" She leans close to the table and searches my eyes, but I made sure there was nothing to give away. "Tell me.""I have nothing to say to you." I looked away and got up to leave but she got up and held my wrist.

I was so furious when I arrived home, too mad at all the lies I had lived in, all the secrets kept away from, it hurts me a lot that I had to destroy all I could lay hands on at the mansion just to calm my rage but the pain and anger were too much.I sat down in tears, what other lies had they kept away from me, does this means that I was alone all this while, was this the truth and why does it have to come out now.I place my hands on my head, it was spinning and filled with a lot of questions, I was in pain, both in my heart and in my heart, was this what they say about the truth? Was this why they said the truth hurts so much?“Jeffery,” I heard my mother’s voice, no, the voice of the lady who I had believed to be my mother alone.I looked up at her, wanting to know all the truth about her secrets. “Tell me how she is your daughter, how did she become your daughter?” I was in so much rage and was not able to control it. “Tel

Two weeks laterI was discharged from the hospital today after staying for two weeks as my father had told me, I was glad that after a lot of checkups there were no complications and the doctor said I was lucky I had strong bones, we still don’t know who the culprit was and I couldn’t see who had driven into me.“Dad,” I called out as I ate dinner with my father, he looked u at me waiting for me to continue. “Did Jeffery visit me at the hospital?”I waited for his response because when I became conscious I didn’t see Jeffery, the only people who came to see me were my friends and Russeli.“No.” I closed my eyes momentarily, I knew he had asked me to break up with him, I have also called him over at the beach and now I wonder if he came. “He was the one who took you to the hospital, but didn’t come after that.”I knitted my brows, if he had shown up at the beach and took me
