Author's pov At the hearing of those words that Tyler brought a lady and had sex with her, Charlotte immediately took an excuse to look for a place to take a deep breath and get herself back. “Please, can I use the restroom? I'm having a running stomach. I will get back to you very soon.” Charlotte stood up and left her chair to use the restroom. “Okay, please go and come back quickly, I'm waiting for you. We have the whole day to ourselves,” Ava replied. Ava's eyes were still Charlotte as she was walking away, and then Ava's phone started ringing. “Hello Mum,” and as she waited to continue, Blenda interrupted. “Please repeat what you said to me some hours ago. I was still feeling sleepy when you called.” “I said, my dad slept with a lady last night.” “Hmm…do you see the lady?” Blenda asked. “That was the most annoying part. I'm still angry at myself. I wouldn't say I lost concentration. I was so careful to see when the lady left, but it seemed that all my efforts w
Author's pov “Luke, what you are asking for is too big for me. Examine the whole thing yourself and check if it is reasonable in anyone's ear. You can't date two friends and never expect this to happen.…” She paused and looked at Luke who was standing and after sometime, he started moving around the sitting room of his mom. “Luke, what you did is bad and I will never be part of it. The best thing to do is to let go of the two ladies.” “Mum,” he stopped in the middle of the sitting room and faced his mom. “I didn't come here for you to condemn me. If Blenda is not important to me, I would have left her considering what she did to me when I went to her house. She slammed the door at me and called me so many kinds of names that no woman has said to me. If I don't love her, I wouldn't come this far begging you to go and meet her on my behalf.” “But what you are asking for is unrealistic. First, you have destroyed the friendship of those two ladies.” “Mum, hear me out. You haven'
Charlotte's pov I couldn't move around properly in Tyler's new house as Ava had fully moved her things to her father's house. It has been three days of her presence, three days without intimacy and three days of proper distancing and whenever Tyler wasn't around, all Ava and I always discussed was her dad's mysterious lady that she wants to know. Tyler in the order hand was trying all means to have some private time with me. When Tyler noticed that Ava was in the room taking her bath, he quickly came to my room. And since Ava had been finding a way to know the woman her dad brought home that day, whenever Tyler came close to me, my heart raced. “What are you doing here? Ava is around. I have told you, you shouldn't come close to me whenever she is around,” I said with a low voice despite Ava's room being a bit far away. “When will that be? How long will you keep me waiting? Ava has always been with you.” He asked. “She is monitoring you. How many times will I tell you?”
Charlotte's pov “What the hell is going on here?” That was my first exclamation. I was dumbedfolded for the following seconds that followed. I saw a stranger taking off Tyler's clothes and he was just lying down with his back facing the ceiling. I couldn't take my right hand from the doorpost and my feet were glued to the floor. Am I dreaming or what? This must be a nightmare. I was still trying to console myself when the strange lady said authoritatively. “Who are you?” “I should be the one asking you, who are you?” I took a step forward, although, relatively far from them. The lady took her hands from Tyler's belt and stood up and said, “My name is Sonia and this is my boyfriend. Who are you? I have never seen you before and Ava is my boyfriend's only daughter. When she said Tyler was her boyfriend, I couldn't say a word or challenge her. My relationship with Tyler was a hidden one and because we were hiding it, I couldn't challenge her. Wait a minute! Why will I even
Author's pov “When did that lady come to my room? When?” Tyler kept asking himself as he watched Charlotte entering the bar and he could hear the sound of heavy music popping out of the bar. “What has gone over Charlotte? Am I dreaming? No, I'm not.” He got into his car and rested his head against the headrest. “...all I know was that a lady came,” he paused and he tried to remember what transpired. “Let me go home, probably my sitting room will help me remember what happened.” He thought, and started his car and drove home. Still, as he was driving home, he took his phone and called Charlotte, but each time, Charlotte continuously rejected his calls. When he got home, he came out of his car and entered his house and stopped at the sitting room. Then he stared at the door. “Yes! A lady came.” He closed his eyes and opened it. “Yes!” He nodded his head, “I opened the door and she entered. She said her name was Sonia. I remembered that. She came in,” and Tyler demonstra
Luke's pov How is this possible? How would Blenda say I should first of all make peace with Danielle before she will consider both of us meeting each other. How does she expect Danielle to take things lightly with me? I have even tried to call Danielle, the next thing I saw was a text message, “In your entire life don't call me again.” As short as that message, it holds a barrier of me meeting Danielle. Today made it five days since I have been separated from Danielle, and the only way to even hear her voice was through my mum. I looked at the time and the time was 1pm and I hadn't had my breakfast. I don't even feel like I am hungry. All I want is Danielle. I took my phone and dialed my mum's number. “Hello mum…” “If it's because of Danielle you are calling me, please go and meet Blenda yourself. She has told me to tell you what to do. Make peace with Danielle. Is that still too difficult?” “Yes it is mom, Danielle couldn't even pick up my call.” “I don't want to tal
Charlotte's pov What have I done to myself? I didn't even give Tyler a chance to explain his side of the story. Does this mean I don't trust him? But it wasn't my fault. I saw him with that woman on the bed, who else should I believe? If it wasn't for Ava, who kept informing me about her mom's plan, my relationship with Tyler would have ended. The moment I get home, I need to find an opportunity to apologize to Tyler. I have to tell him that I'm sorry for the way I treated him, even when he followed me to the bar and made an effort to make me believe him. Still, I abandoned him and went into the bar and I was already feeling I had broken up with him. While thinking about how to reconcile with Tyler, I also reflected on how I treated Ava. Is there a way to tell her about the DNA test results? Every time I look at her, she seems like a lost child to me. I must find a way to tell her. If I don't, my conscience will continue to trouble me. In our relationship, she has shown more faith
Author's pov Charlotte waited for about thirty seconds before she took her first step and her eyes were on Ava's eyes. Ava's eyes were closed and her phone was in her right hand as she slept on the couch. Some minutes ago after Charlotte had entered her room, Ava continuously called her dad's phone number until she decided to send her dad a text message. And at the same time, she decided not to lock the door as she was eagerly waiting for her dad. “Hi dad, where are you that you are not picking up your calls? I am at home. Are you not coming home today?” After sending the message, it didn't take much time when she received a message from her dad, and this was before Charlotte sent her own message. “Hi Ava. I'm at the bar with friends. I will soon be coming home. I'm sorry I didn't pick your calls. I didn't take note that my phone was in silent mode.” The message gave Ava the courage to wait for her dad and because she was tired, she decided to rest her back on the couch, and
