''Keep an eye out on them for me. And always call or come back to tell me what is going on, okay?''Richard ordered his bodyguards to man the district where his kids lived with their mother, Susan, and their aunt, Mabel.After what Michael revealed in the car on their way to the district they lived in, Richard could not leave without making sure that he appointed guards to watch over them. If Richard came to hear at any time that his kids were missing, he was sure going to lose his mind. So he acted hurriedly.As expected, Richard did not drive himself home. He sat behind the car and let his thoughts wander away, thinking about his children.''Are you okay, Susan?'' Aunt Mabel asked when Susan entered the house with the kids and shut the door behind her. Susan quickly walked over to the window and appeared to be worried while she peeped outside.''What's going on outside, what are you looking at?'' Aunt Mabel asked.''Mummy is looking at our daddy's car'' Michael the mischievous one r
Susan arrived at the Beathrow Restaurant a couple of minutes later. A lot of luxury cars were lined up from side to side, protecting a limousine that stood in its grace and beauty between the cars that guarded it.A tall and handsome man with legs that were as long as stilts stepped out of the car. His face shone brightly as the sun and all heads were turned toward his direction because of the grace and aura he carried. However, these lurking eyes could not behold the stern gaze that the cold and emotionless man returned at them. He oozed arrogance and pomposity, so much so that no one could walk in the same space with him. His presence and appearance definitely felt like a shame to any other men that were not on his level and status.A proud Richard Williams led his bodyguards into the reserved elevator section of the Beathrow restaurant.While he was in the elevator, his jaw clenched and unclenched in nervousness, anxiety, and a bit of anger at the fact that he knew Susan was in tha
Susan was furious. Joey was trying to bring up her shameful past in front of Jacob, and the way she was going about it was full of mockery and insult. Joey's own mom, who doubled as Susan's stepmother had drugged her, and then when she became unconscious, sent her to the hotel where the disgusting man who was now the father of her kids had broken her innocence while she was not even aware of what was going on with her. How ruthless. How could she be able to tell Jacob that sort of story of her life? Of course not. She was not going to do that.''What is she talking about, Susan?'' Jacob asked. The more Joey hinted at the reason Susan ran away to a foreign country, the more curious Jacob became.''Please dear, let's just continue to eat in peace. There's nothing to know'' Susan told Jacob calmly. She was determined to maintain a smooth relationship with him. If she dared to talk about her nasty experience, she was not sure how Jacob would react.''She has been with other men, Jacob. It
Susan opened her eyes and tried to shield them away from the beaming ray of sunlight that somehow found its way into the room she was in through a tiny crack in the open window. She felt an intense pain while she sat up, holding her back and taking a look around her. 'Where the hell am I?' she muttered while she took in the features of the room. It was chaotic. Clothes were scattered all over the place, her clothes. She suddenly realized that she was naked as well, in an unknown place that was enclosed? that didn't look good at all, and as any young lady would, she started to worry about what she felt was obvious that had happened to her. She had been raped, but by who? No matter how hard she tried to remember what had gone down the previous night, she just could not come up with anything. She had passed out, someone must have drugged her or something of that nature because she was a hundred per cent sure she didn't book a hotel room anywhere in the city, she didn't even have the fi
'For crying out loud, whose kids are these?' A couple of women in their early twenties wondered while they stared at Susan's twins aboard their flight to the United States. 'It's offensive to take pictures of them, what if their mom finds out? It's creepy, come on, stop it' one of the young women said to the friend of hers that was taking photos of Susan's Kid's.It had been five years ago since Susan fled the country after the mysterious event that happened to her at the hotel. Now, she was returning with her four-year-old twins, a boy and a girl named Michael and Judy respectfully. These kids of hers had come to be as a result of the one-night stand incident that made her flee the country. Susan's kids were adorable. Her son, Michael, had a plain blue short-sleeved shirt on, tucked into black chinos trousers and a denim jean jacket on top. His sleek blonde hair rested on his shoulder, stretching his face out to buttress his streamlined eyes. 'Cat eyes' Michael was usually referred
The intensity of the unpleasant memories that Susan had come back to America to meet made her head feel light. She almost collapsed as a result of how suddenly her head spun. Looking at her kids while they waited for their luggage, she remembered how she so desperately wanted to have an abortion when she discovered that she was pregnant. 'I can't do this for you, Miss, I'm sorry. You'd destroy your womb, and the possibility of you ever having kids again will be minimal because of your unique health pattern. Just bear the pain of having them, children are never a loss my dear...' the doctor advised her, and so Michael and Judy were born. Susan could not help but observe how all eyes were on her children.'Do these kids belong to any celebrity out there, or what?' an onlooker thought out loud while she stared at Michael and Judy the twins. It was not new for the kids to have strangers intrude on them like that, so they didn't pay too much attention to the lady.'I swear, they have to
'Mhhm' Susan huffed when she saw Joey's face on a massive billboard while she was en route to her aunt's house from the airport.'Pure girl indeed' She yelped and briefly laughed out loud. That was the slogan that the brand Joey was advertising on behalf of chose to call her.Michael glanced at his mom and made a face that seemed to ask what the drama was about.'Mom you are always in another world' the wise Michael said innocently and continued to look out the window, taking in the splendour of the new country he was in. Susan looked at him with lovable eyes. His advanced gimmick always took her by surprise. Anytime Susan felt that Michael had reached his elastic limit in blowing her away with his magnificence, he would strike again with something else that would only raise the bar.Thinking back to Joey, Susan realized that she had not heard anything about her throughout the five years that she spent out of the United States. She had completely forgotten about Joey. Susan wasn't sur
'Hello Richie' Joey cooed at the abrasive man that sat behind the expensive desk. 'Do me the honour of being my guest at my birthday dinner, please?' she informed President Williams.'What?' the egocentric man asked her in a humdrum tone without lifting his eyes from the work he currently had his attention on. As if he didn't hear what she said the first time. 'Today is my birthday, I have a dinner party later at...' Joey was saying when the man interrupted her. 'Happy birthday Joey, but I am not showing up for your party' he replied abruptly. Joey was silent, waiting for him to state the reason for his decision, and he did when he felt she had stalled her own reply, or abrupt exit from his office long enough.'I have a lot on my plate, there's too much to do to be attending any parties' he said in a cold, harsh tone that sent a chill through Joey's spine.Joey could not understand why Richard would not ever bring himself to accommodate her into his reality the way she wanted.
