Adrie woke up before Alexa so she took her time to study Alexa's room. Adriana felt kind of lonely because she misses her mom. Hopefully, they would go visit her mommy in the hospital today as Ronald promised.
After some time Alexa woke up too.
"Good morning, Alexa," Adrie said. Her mom taught her to always greet everyone she sees in the morning.
"Good morning, Adrie," Alexa yawned after which she pulled Adrie into a hug which caused her to giggle.
If a stranger walks in on them, he or she would think they were sisters.
They helped themselves out of bed after which they walked into the bathroom to pee and wash their faces.
Coming out of the bathroom, Clarice walked in on them, She greeted them, they did the same and she pulled them into a hug and kissed their foreheads.
She took Alexa's toothbrush, applied some paste on it, and handed it to her. She reached for a new toothbrush and helped Adrie wash her teeth.

After Doctor Philip informed Raina that the person who helped her and her daughter would be coming over this afternoon, she had been restless. Even though the Tv was switched on, her mind was not there as she kept on looking at the entrance every few minutes. She couldn't wait to wrap her arms around her baby girl. She missed her a lot. She and Adrie have never been apart for so long.Raina sighed as she wondered what the person who helped her looked like. She knew She had to pay him back for helping her. She took in her surroundings and felt fortunate as she realized that She was in a VIP ward. The doctor told her that the person who helped her had paid for everything, including her medication. She felt relieved when he told her that because she had no money on her.Some minutes later, The door to Raina's ward opened and Doctor Philip walked in with Adrie, Alexa, Clarice, and Ronald behind him."Mama!" Adrie screamed as she ran towards her mom.Raina smi

"And this is where you will be staying." Ronald completed the tour as he opened the door to the guest room. He walked in first and Raina followed suit."I hope you like it." He said to her,The room was big enough, painted in warm colors, decorated with expensive furniture. But it was kind of empty perhaps because no one had occupied the room in a while.A queen-size bed was in the middle of the room with a nightstand and a lamp at the end of both sides. The room has a Tv and two resting couches.Raina noticed two doors were attached to the room but she couldn't tell where it led to. 'Perhaps her room was connected to another person's room.' She thought."I like it." She mumbled, after accessing the room.Ronald was extremely happy when Raina accepted his offer to move in with him. But she had insisted that when she had fully recovered, she would go back to her old job or look for another job to earn money to help him with the rent.

Even though she slept late, Raina had always been a morning person; she was used to waking up around 6:30 in the morning.Thankfully, she woke up feeling better which made her wonder where she got the strength from. She sat on the bed and meditated for a few minutes with a new determination to move on and live life with the people she cared about.Raina finished meditating and said her morning prayers. She arranged her bed and made her way to the bathroom to do her morning rituals.Unfortunately, she had no other dress than the one she wore back from the hospital. It wasn't dirty or smelling so she put them on and brushed her hair with the brush already provided in her bathroom after which she put her hair in a bun.She took a look at herself in the mirror and saw that she looked better than yesterday except that her eyes were a little puffy due to the number of times she cried.Raina slipped her feet into the fancy unisex slippers Clarice brought

"Thanks for covering up for me Gabriel, I forgot the meeting was scheduled for this morning," Ronald said to his best friend as they walked side by side out of the glass-walled conference room."Alima should have reminded you.""She did. She told me before leaving the office yesterday but it slipped my mind." Ronald said as he playfully scratched the back of his neck.Truthfully, Alima, Ronald's assistant, reminded him about the meeting before he left work yesterday and she even sent him a reminder via his email which he saw before he fell asleep.Ronald remembered he had a meeting. But Damn, he couldn't say No to Raina when she asked him to stay for breakfast. He would never forget every detail of what happened this morning. Breakfast was something he never had during weekdays. But everything seemed perfect this morning. Him having breakfast with Alexa, Adrie, Raina, and Clarice. They looked like one big and happy family. The way Raina said a prayer befo

Ronald was the only one left in the building. Even Gabriel, his best friend, had gone home. Well, except for the cleaners and security guards who were cleaning and guarding the building respectively.He was trying to finish some work concerning a contract with some foreign investors who would be coming over in a few days.Forty-three minutes later, Ronald decided to call it a day.He found himself very eager to go home. Not only because of his daughter but also because of Adrie and Raina.A small smile crept to his lips at the thought of Raina. Whenever he was around her, he had this weird feeling in his stomach. He knew he was attracted to her but he had no idea if she felt the same way.Ronald stood up from his chair and started arranging his table and at the same time putting some important documents in his briefcase. He picked up his phone, briefcase, then exited his office, shutting the door behind him."Hey, Ronald." A lady's voice cam

"I think you're stressing yourself, Raina. Gabriel and Jemma will be okay with whatever we have." Ronald who was seated across the kitchen counter said and Raina turned to look at him for a second with a frown on her face and hands on her hip."You're not helping." She said, then went back to what she was doing.It was a Saturday, Gabriel and his wife, Jemma, were coming over so Raina took it upon herself to make lunch and now she was currently baking cupcakes.Ronald told her they could go to a restaurant or order some takeout. But Raina refused because she was in the mood to cook. They had all the ingredients at home and to her, it wasn't proper to invite people over without giving them a home-cooked meal."Anything I can do to help?" He teased.Raina rolled her eyes at him.She had asked him for help earlier but he declined, claiming he would mess up everything so he just sat down and watched her do her thing.The food was ready an

"Thanks for inviting your friends over. I had fun chatting with them." Raina said after which she took a sip of her drink.It sort of turned into a tradition for Raina and Ronald. Every night, after they've tucked the girls to bed, they would sit on the sofa in the living room or go to the balcony where they talk about their day or basically anything that was on their mind.They do that almost every night and It was something they both looked forward to.Right now they chose to stay inside; in the living room, instead of the balcony because it was chilly outside."I'm sure they had fun too." He replied."My mom wants to meet you, Raina," Ronald said which made her almost choke on her drink."Your mom?" she replied in shock."Yeah. I told her about you.""You did?" She asked as she could not help but wonder why he told his mother about her."Alexa told her that she has a new sister so I had no choice but to tell her about

Mexican, American, Italian, African and we bake too." Uncle Rico added."I will introduce you to the Head Chef and she will find a spot for you. You can come over to my office during your lunch break so we will discuss your pay."Raina nodded."Maggie." He called and a light brown-skinned lady looked their way. She was of average height and obviously in her chef uniform."Maggie, this is Raina; she will be joining us and Raina, this is Maggie." Uncle Rico introduced the ladies."Nice to meet you," Raina said.Maggie smiled at her. "You too.""That's all, for now, Raina, I have to return to my office.
