"I'm so sorry I'm late," Victoria tells Rebecca as she settles down in a chair opposite her."Were you ignoring my call on purpose?" Rebecca asked with an accusing look on her face."Ignoring you? That's not true. I was sleeping," she tells her."Oh my goodness," Rebecca clicked her tongue."I cannot believe this. Mr Smith called you to his office to do what? Do not tell me the both of you fuc..." Victor quickly placed her hands on Rebecca's mouth to keep her shut from talking."Keep it down Becca, goodness," she whispered to her before taking her hands off her mouth."So does that mean that what I'm thinking is actually correct?" Rebecca asked and Victoria shook her head."of course not! We weren't doing anything. In Fact we did nothing at all because I had to sleep." She replied with a huff.Rebecca looked at Victoria with an accusing look. "What is it that you are not telling me? Come on, spill the tea already or I will scream," she threatened."I think I have to reconsider being f

While Mr Smith drove back home, he couldn't help but think about what Elizabeth said about Victoria. Was he really dating someone with mental problems? He thought to himself.He was having doubts as Victoria was not only intelligent but she knew how to carry herself too although she could be clumsy at times.He didn't know what to do or how to take the information. He wanted to ask Victoria about it but he was scared that if it was indeed true, she might react and attack him and he wasn't sure he was ready for that.He sighed deeply for the umpteenth time. What was happening and why now? He just didn't know how to take the information well and react.He didn't want Victoria to suspect anything from his mood. It worried him so much. He wanted to help her after all she was the woman he loves.He finally reached her apartment, parked the car and came down. He contemplated for some seconds before knocking on the door of the apartment.He was going to act like he didn't hear anything on El

Victoria had not been able to concentrate on work since her mother called her this morning. She feared she was about to har something bad from her mother and it worried her. She feared for the unknown as her mother had never called her in such a state before.She wondered what could be the situation of her mother. She wondered if it was serious enough to take her life.Just the thought of her mother dying feared her. She wasn't sure how she'd be able to move on or live her life knowing she had no mother anymore. Her mother was her everything and she continued to struggle just to make her mother proud and give her all of the beautiful things in this world.She was yet to give her mother all she promised her. She just couldn't focus. Her stomach ached, her chest hurts and her headache. Everything was rotating in her eyes.Tears threatened to come out of her eyes but she fought them hard. While she worked, she couldn't concentrate as all she thought of was her mother.She has been feelin

Victoria followed her mother and sat down on the couch. She tapped her feet on the floor as she waited for them to tell her the story.To tell her why she didn't grow up with a father and why her father was suddenly back in their lives. She was trying hard not to explode because she had a lot she wanted to say to them and she demanded a response."Victoria," her mother began as she placed her hands on Victoria's leg."I'm sorry for all of this happening now and trust me, I'd never want to hurt your feelings," she added.Ashley swallowed a lump in her throat before she continued. "Gregory and I were both lovers in college. He was a year ahead of me back in college and when he graduated, things were hard for us as we barely saw one another. He had to focus on his career and himself and I have my finals too. Three months after my graduation, I found out that I was pregnant but couldn't get in contact with Gregory. I tried contacting him, asking his friends about him but no one knew where

"Hey babe," Victoria said with a smile on her face."Hey beautiful, how was your night?" Mr Smith asked."It was fine and yours?" She asked."Very good. I miss you so much. When should I come get you?" He asked. He hasn't been able to be without thinking about her.Her face kept reappearing in his head and all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms and never let go."Well tomorrow. I will text you the address. I miss you too. Had a hard time sleeping last night," she tells him."I love you and kisses. I got to go," he tells her."I love you and take care," she replied to him with a kissy sound before ending the call."Oh my goodness!" She gasped in shock with her hands on her chest the moment she turned to see her mother standing behind her."Mother," she called in relief."What were you doing sneaking up on me," she asked.A smile formed on her mother's face. She decided to go check on Victoria only to hear all of this and it made her heart warm.She couldn't believe her child was
