Michaels' Pov:
I found myself looking for her, but I couldn’t find her. She is so good at hiding and I am a miserable seeker. I called for her and told her I was tired of looking and that she should come out.She giggled which gave out her hidden spot. I ran to where she was and carried her. She kept on laughing and begged me to drop her down. I finally dropped her and she wrapped her arms around me, I have never been at peace unless I was with her. Then she looked up at me with her eyes piercing through my soul, and she said;”Michael, promise me you won’t leave me alone?” then I promised her. Before I knew it, she disappeared and I kept on hearing a voice echoing “You left me, you left me, you left me” repeatedly.I woke up with a startle, my wife ran towards my side with a worried look. She kept on asking why happened and why had I fainted but I couldn’t find words to say. I knew deep down that the woman at the supermarket was someone from my past but how could I say that to Cara? Cara said I was out for like thirty minutes and she thought I went into a coma again.I hugged and kissed her at the top of her head and promised her that I was not going anywhere.I asked where Sam was, and she said he left not long ago and that he would be back the next morning. After much pressure to eat, I ate and told Cara that I was off to bed. I lay on the bed with my eyes open throughout the night. Morning came and Sam came over. We started to converse and he asked about my health; I told him I was fine but it was so obvious that he wanted to ask what was going on. He left because he had to go to his farm.Cara offered to get some things at the supermarket and asked if I would be okay staying at home; I just nodded my head and she left.I went to my computer and began to do some research on that woman. I needed to know her and how she was connected to my past.While Sam wasn’t looking, I looked through his phone and found her name. I rapidly typed in Rosemarie Taylor and didn’t see anything on her.It was like my head made up an image of her like she never existed. That was what I thought until I decided to try if she was on F******k and then boom I saw her. She works as a hairstylist at a salon not far from Sam’s house and she had twins. That wasn’t the shocking part, but that the pictures of the girls were splitting images of me. One had my eyes, one had my hair.I kept assuring myself that it was just a coincidence but then my dream made it obvious that we might have been lovers beforehand, I knew it wasn’t just a dream but also pieces of my memories.I kept on researching but found almost nothing. It was like she kept her life private like she was avoiding people knowing or she was running away from something. Cara came back and saw me lost in thoughts. She kept on asking what was wrong but I got angry and snapped at her. She got angry and she left the house. I felt bad and I hated myself for snapping at her. After some hours, I decided to go look for her because I was getting worried. Then I had a knock on the door, it was Sam.He asked what happened and I explained to him what I did and how I intended to go find my wife. He just told me that Cara would be fine that she did that when they were little and that she always came back. We sat down and there was an awkward silence between us.Then Sam began to ask about what happened last night but then how can I tell Sam that the lady I saw yesterday could be my wife or be the mother of my children?I just told him that I went into shock and that it was normal that it happens to me almost every time and I didn’t know the lady, maybe I looked like someone she knew, I said. Sam just said okay but I could see it in his eyes that he doesn’t believe all what I just said.He left and I was back alone in the house but after some minutes, Cara came back and ran to her and hugged her. I apologized for being a jerk and all and she forgave me.She told me how she encountered a nice lady at the beach and how she invited her over for dinner the next day.I was so happy that Cara already made a friend because back home Cara never had time for friends, she was so busy with work that she didn’t have free time to mingle with other people. I had made dinner most especially her favourite meal, it was my way of saying sorry for being a jerk. We dined and wined all night long. We planned to go shopping the next morning; that was Cara's favourite thing to do.The night went well but as I lay on my bed, I began to wonder if that lady was truly what I think she is. I slept with a concluded mind that to know what was going on, I would need to know from the source itself.Cara and I bought the whole mall, and she bought the whole clothing store, like I said; Cara loves shopping. On getting home, she began to prepare for our guests later in the evening. She invited Sam over too so it was going to be a full house.I assisted her in cooking and anticipated knowing who Cara's guest was. Sam came first and he brought his homemade lasagna for us. We thanked and he proceeded to ask who was coming again and Cara told him she was a friend she had met at the beach. Before we knew it, we had a knock at the door. Cara told me to open it for her guest. On getting there, as I opened the door, It was her and not only her with her twins. I quietly whispered, “Oh, no”.Maries' Pov How on earth am I seeing him? I just couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw him by the door. It’s like he keeps looking for ways to make me feel uncomfortable. Then Cara came out and welcomed us with open arms. As if that was not all, we were soon swept by Sam’s presence. The girls ran to him and hugged him tightly, he just stood there speechless with a shocked face because he wasn’t expecting us to be the guest. Cara then further introduced us and surprised me by calling Sam her elder brother and the most surprising part of all she called Michael her husband. The earth suddenly started to rotate around me and I began to feel lightheaded. I asked for the bathroom, and I was directed there, I entered and made sure I slammed the door shut. My day couldn’t get any worse, but I wouldn’t let that man think he was still in my mind. I washed my face, applied a little mascara and smoothened out my gown. I was going to enjoy my dinner date with my girls, and I wasn’t going to
Michaels' Pov: Michael begins to have memories of Marie, but he tries to ignore them because he doesn’t want anything to come between him and his wife. So he decided to do something special for his woman just to show her how much he loved her. He took her out on a dinner date, it was a wonderful night because they talked, laughed dined and wined. He was so glad that she wore a smile on throughout the night. Furthermore, he needed this just to remind himself how much she meant to him. Furthermore, he had planned a romantic surprise at home, he had help from Sam for setting up the surprise. On reaching home, he blindfolded her and led her to the door. As they got there he removed the blinds off her eyes and she was shocked with what she saw at her front. There were rose petals scattered on the bed in the shape of a rose, scented candles and soft music playing on the radio. It wasn’t just any song, it was their song, the one that played as she strolled down the aisle on their we
Maries'' Pov: My heart raced fast as I sat across him by the lake, the tension between us could cut a knife. I had to leave the twins with my sister, my excuse was I had to do something at home, but I’d be back the next day. When the call came in that night, she knew he was right that they needed to see, and she needed to come clean about the past she had kept hidden for a long time now. Taking a deep breath, she began to talk and asked him what does he want to know. “Are the twins mine?” Was the first question he asked and without hesitation, she answered and told him yes. He then further asked her what happened and also explained to her that he was beginning to have some flashbacks, and he was piecing out some memories, from six years ago.“Michael, what part of you aren’t getting younger, you don’t understand? You are needed to take over Evan’s enterprises and besides there are a lot of beautiful billionaire damsels out there, why can’t you just pick one for heaven's sake “. R
Michael’s Pov: I got home to an empty house and didn’t hesitate to call Cara and ask where she had been. She said she went for a stroll, and that she would be back soon. I waited patiently for her, I knew I had to tell her about Rosemarie now or never. I needed to tell her I remember everything from the past and I have to tell her now unless I might have second thoughts and never tell her. A few hours later she came back and hugged me like I had been gone for days. She offered to make dinner and ten minutes later we were both at the table eating. I kept on picking on my vegetables and kept on wandering off in my head. She noticed and asked what was wrong. As she looked at me with worried eyes, I knew to that extent that if I didn’t talk now, I would forever remain silent.Without much further Ado, I began to spill and tell her every single detail without leaving any table unturned. The more I began to talk, the more her eyes got teary and the more her breathing became shallow, s
Rosemarie's Pov:The twins kept on running around the compound, I think they just liked the fact that they were in a new environment, and they were with their aunty. I had a slight headache because of them last night and I had taken aspirin but still, here they are again causing another headache. Anne didn’t seem to mind though, she watched them from the couch with love in her eyes as they played around. I think she preferred the noise to the quietness afterwards when we were about to leave. I couldn’t seem to recall all my conversations with Michael that night. And as I do that, I keep on hurting myself by remembering when he said she was pregnant for him. I hated myself, I just can’t imagine I was expecting us to be a family again. I felt so stupid, I decided to stay two more days with Anne because I couldn’t bear the thought of going back home to come across Michael again.Anne carried the twins out to the amusement park. I had never seen them so happy before. I had fun too wi
Michael's Pov:I had begun to regret staying over. Like I didn’t know what came over my head. Probably it was the way her eyes pleaded for me to stay or the fact that I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. I knew it was either the former or the latter. She offered for me to stay in the guest room that she would stay with the twins in their home. Knowing fully well if she stayed with the twins that room would be choked up. I told her I’d rather sleep on the couch and that she shouldn’t bother. After much interjections and persuasions, she finally let me sleep on the couch. Heaven knows that I didn’t sleep a blink that night, my mind couldn’t get over the fact that she was just a room away from me. I kept on thinking about her, I know I shouldn’t be thinking about her but I just couldn’t stop.I kept convincing my mind to think about my wife Cara instead of Marie but it was just an impossible task to do. Around 2 am in the morning, I went to the kitchen to drink water sin
Rosemarie’s Pov:After leaving the hospital, Jada was better and healthier. I was so happy that she was back to her normal self, it was as if that incident never happened and I was so grateful for that. Anne was a sweet aunt and made sure all their needs were taken care of. I was at peace and Anne made me happy when she asked if we could move in with her. She had gotten used to our presence to the extent she didn’t want to let us go. Of course, the twins were happy with the idea but then wouldn’t it be weird moving to my younger sister’s apartment when it seems to be the other way around? Anne assured me that she had plenty of space and that it would be good for all of us to be together, especially for the twin’s sake. Plus, it would give me a chance to bond more with Anne and spend quality time with her since she stays alone.As we settled into Anne’s apartment, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief wash over me. It was comforting to know that we had a safe and supportive env
Michael’s Pov:I froze as I stared at the man standing on my doorstep, a stranger yet oddly familiar. It took a moment for recognition to sink in, my uncle whom I hadn’t seen in years. My mind raced, trying to comprehend the words spilling from his lips. “We've been searching for you for years, " he said, his voice had a tone of urgency “ I don’t know what the hell happened or why you had run away from home but I do know something; your father is Ill Michael. It’s time for you to come back.” He said.My heart pounded in my chest as I struggled to process the bombshell dropped on me.”But I’ve built a life here” I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper. “ A different life”.My uncle’s gaze softened, understanding evident in his eyes .” I know Michael. But your family needs you. Your father needs you . And there’s something else... You have a responsibility to your legacy. Your father’s empire .... It’s yours now”.My mind reeled at the weight of my uncle’s words. I had left beh
