THIRD PERSON POVMr. Elzaldes arrived at Maria’s apartment after some minutes. He was going to take his grandchildren and make Albert and Diana come back from where it is that they were and he’d only let them go if Albert decide to divorce Diana.He knows there could be a serious problem attached to his actions but he could care less. He was going to have his way and that’s it. If he doesn’t have his way then nobody gets to be happy because that’s how it has always been.He has never lost to anyone and so Diana wouldn’t be the first that he’d lose to.Maria opened the door after hearing someone knock on it and was surprised to see Alberts’s father. She didn’t need anyone to tell her who he was.“What…”Mr. Elzaldes had not let her speak as the men that he brought with him had pushed her out of the way to go find the kids and get them.“What are you doing?” Maria asked following behind me. Who had invaded her house?She could not understand why Albee’s father had come to he
RUBYI woke up to the sound of my phone ringing and I wonder who it was that would be calling me by this time of the day and what they wanted to tell me that they couldn’t wait until the afternoon I stretched my arms to get my phone on the nightstand. I did not bother to look at who it was that was calling when I answered the call.“Hello,” I said.“Diana. Your kids…” she sobbed.I quickly got up from the bed in fear when I heard her voice. What happened to my kids and why does she sound this way?“What happened to them?” I asked nervously.“Alberts’s father, he came over earlier to take them away. He claimed they are his blood and he would take them and the only way he’d return them is when Albert comes to him and does his demands. He came with two hefty men and they pushed me away and I also sprained my ankles while trying to fight them,” she explained to me.My heart was beating hard and fast in my chest when I heard all of that. How dare he take my kids claiming they are
ALBERT“I see you are here.” My father said when he noticed my presence. Anyways he must have noticed that I have been around because I had not come quietly but In a way I wanted him to know that I had come to him because he had done more than what he should do and there won’t be peace today. I have decided that today is the day I end it all. This is back and forth between my gadget and me. It has to end today. If I end up doing as I have always done then there will be no changes as my father will continue to want to have his way and torment me. Peace could have been an easier choice for him but he doesn’t want peace and so I’d just give him the war that he needs. “And also with her,” he remarked referring to Diana who had come with me.“Where are my kids?” I asked.“Oh. Your kids? Is that why you are here? To take my grandkids? Oh wow. So you could come back to the country because of them but did not think it was proper to get my blessings before you get married to this t
DIANAI paced around in my room as I waited for Albert to come. He had told me to stay right here while he goes over to his father’s place because he was sure that I would create a whole lot of chaos there.Why would he take my kids? Why would he claim them when he didn’t suffer with me? He didn’t know what it was that I went through and suddenly he is claiming right over them? Over my dead body will I allow him to win?I would be going over to that place because I would not be seated calmly without knowing what it is that is going on. I am so angry right now that I could just break anything.I could remember how he made me lose my job. How I had to suffer to earn a living while pregnant and how I thought of getting rid of my babies and after so much difficulty and trials of life I was able to stand strong and now he took my kiss. Claimed them and doesn’t want to let go. I am so disgusted by it all. How could someone think and act like him? How is it possible for someone to be
ALBERT ELIADES“Everything I have done. I have done it for you. I want the best for you. It’s you that I have always first before myself but in the end, what did I get from you? Betrayal. Yes. That’s it. You betrayed me. After all, I have done for you. It’s sad to see you are not like me. It’s sad to know that you will never be like this and this will make you lose a lot because a man who thinks with his heart and not his head ends up falling all of the time and you will regret it.“ my father spoke at length. My kids were holding unto me tightly after my father had let them go.I squat down so that I could be on the same height level as them. I didn’t want them to listen to what my father is saying to me. This is how my father is. He has always been like this. Always felt he could take it and always felt he is never wrong.It’s sad to see that after everything he still believes he is right and doesn’t care what it is that I want or want to do. As long as it’s not following it o
DIANAIt all started in a bar. Seventeen years old me had entered a bar with a fake ID and I met a twenty-one years old man. He could tell I want eighteen and I told him to prove it.How we started talking, I do not recall but I remember how I laughed all through and finally confessed that it was my seventeenth birthday and I needed some time to myself.He asked why to spend it at a bar when I could spend it with my family and I told him my dad left earlier after wishing you and here I am. As a teenager, I barely had friends. The ones I had changed and began to bully me simply because they wanted to fit in but as I began to date Albert when I turned eighteen, a lot changed about me in senior year. I grew more confident and a lot of people wanted my attention and my old friend wanted to be my friend again but I didn’t get close anymore because it was obvious they were only trying to be friends with me to know what it is that I do to look the way I do.Nothing changed about me, i
DIANAI couldn’t possibly see otherwise.The man sitting at the table I was meant to attend to is none other than my ex-boyfriend and the father of my twins.I furrowed my brows as I kept walking towards the table he was seated with three other men discussing.He was looking good as always, even better than he was five years ago.He had grown and the more I walked closer to him, the closer I saw the little changes in his face.Albert didn’t keep beards five years ago but now he did and they were perfectly trimmed and neat.I felt my palm become sweaty and my legs shaking as I walked closer to the table he was seated at.My heart was beating in my chest with every step I took closer to him.Who would have thought that I’d see the man who broke my heart into pieces in the restaurant I work at after five years.The man who dumped me and made me feel like I was not worthy. The man who ruined other men for me and the man I was supposed to hate with all my heart.Well, I should ha
DIANAIt took all it had in me not to shed tears while walking back home. I have never felt the urge to walk home this much before. I needed to calm my nerves, not after encountering the person that broke me. The only man I ever loved but got dumped by him because he saw me unworthy to be by his side.I inhaled and exhaled deeply before entering my apartment.“Mummy!“ Ammika called with excitement laced in her tone the moment I entered the apartment. I smiled at her before kicking my shoes off. She ran from where she sat to come to hug me and I hugged her back.“My little princess is happy. How was school today?“ I asked her inquisitively as I squat down to her height level.“Today at school was very fun. We did a spelling bee competition today and I won,“ she said excitedly.“That’s so nice. That’s my baby girl. You make mummy proud,“ I kissed her on her cheek.“Welcome home mummy,“ Armani said, coming out of the kitchen with an apron on him and flours all over his bodyI
