Chapter 31 & 32 : The Competition Announcement
The outburst of the door made Winnie look up, her teary eyes cleared immediately she saw the person who walked in with smirks on her face.
“Marielle!!”. She called weakly.
“Surprised huh?”. Marielle smirked.
Sheoved closer to het and grabbed her hair forcefully.
“You ungrateful b*tch!” Marielle spat.
“Haven’t you done enough? Are you satisfied?”. She asked in tears, she is too weak to yell right now.
“Satisfied you say? Have you forgotten how I save you and your mother’s ass that night? You would have been a dead fowl by now! Maybe I should have just let you and your poor mother die!!!”. Married screamed releasing get hair roughly.
“You saved us! I don’t regret it one bit but now I do! I should have just died like you said! Over the past years, you’ve done nothing but torment us!! When you knew you wouldn’t let her rest, when then did you help us?” She yelled with the last strength in her.
“You ingrate!”. Marielle slapped her hard on the face, her lips burst again with little blood on it.
“I got your stinky ass back to school! I helped your mother stand to her…..”.
“What’s the difference when you rip her of her profit? She can’t even boastfully show off the money she earns when all you do is rip her of the money! You shouldn’t have helped us and I regret not turning down your offer that night! My dad might hate me and I’m pretty sure he loves me as well! You offered to jail my dad, we agreed but you went ahead to release him! I thought you were better than this!!”. She screamed, tears strolling down her face.
“Do you think I was willing to help so you can be bigger than me? Of course not! I helped so you would be at my service but I can see you are an ingrate. Just have it in mind that you’re out of the school by the time you get out of this place, that’s if you’d leave alive by then”. She smirked and moved way from her.
“She needs to get her head straight, serve her dinner”. Marielle ordered and left.
The guy moved closer to her and hit her repeatedly, her weak screams filled the room.
~TWO YEARS AGO
“Stop hurting our daughter! She has done nothing wrong!!”. The wails from a mother and daughter could be heard.
“Don’t call her my daughter, you b*tch!”. He spat and continue dragging her along with him.
“Where do you think you’re going?”. She yelled running after him.
“Where else? To kill this b*stard!!!!”. He yelled and they stopped when they got to the bridge.
It was in the middle of the night, no cars in sight and it was the perfect time to care out his plan.
“Please don’t!!”. The daughter pleaded crying her ass out.
“Shut your mouth!”. He barked at her.
He smirked and was about pushing her off the bridge when a car honked beside them.
Stepping down was no other person than Marielle.
She has a disgusting look on her face, her guards came down and she signalled them to capture him.
The guards did and the two (Mother and daughter) blocked them.
“Who are you and what do you think you’re doing?”. The mother asked.
“Marielle and if you don’t mind, I can help you out of this dilemma”. Marielle smirked.
“From your dressing, I can see how poor you are”. Marielle muttered.
“Stay out of this!”. The daughter snapped.
Her eyes are red like that of someone who has been crying for years.
“I’m just helping you out. It’s against the law of country for a man doing this to his family. He would be charged for attempted murder and harassment”. Marielle said with seriousness in her tone.
“Guards take him into the car”. She ordered.
“Get off me!! Hey!!!! You’d regret this, I promise!!!!!!”. He screamed as he was dragged into the boot.
“You don’t have to thank me! I’m doing this to improve the country. What’s your name?”. Marielle asked.
“Winnie”. She replied still in shock.
“Thank you”. She muttered and Marielle smiled.
“Here’s is my card. I can help you get back to your feet”. Marielle said and placed the card in her (Winnie) mum’s hand.
“Bye”. She said and with that she left the shocked mother and daughter.
~BACK TO PRESENT
Winnie cried bitterly as she recalled that day. She helped her mum like she offered but she is always ripping her of her profit. More of like she is just working her ass off for a child of her child’s age.
She helped her get back to school only for her to be used by her (Marielle) and her friends. She locked up her dad and still freed him again.
She has nothing in her eyes but regret and anger. She shouldn’t have offered them help when she would take back her offer.
Will she ever get out of this mess?
NEXT DAY
~HAYES MANSION
The house was silent as that of a graveyard. They were just returning from the graveyard where his mum was buried, nothing but sadness was all over his face.
He looks so skinny because he has refused to eat or drink anything. His friends were present including the weak Brandon, Daphne, Serenity and the twins.
“I’d be in my room”. Phillip said and ran upstairs before breaking down in tears.
“Freddie, we need to talk”. Serenity said and went outside. He stood up and also left.
“Dude! Good to see you here!”. Rudy said hugging him tight, he groaned and pushed him off.
“For real, I thought you died”. Valentino said and he threw him a hard glare.
Valentina who’s eyes were on Jude just sighed and looked away.
“Are you okay?”. Daphne asked moving closer to Brandon.
He looks much better and his wounds are slowing healing up.
“I’m fine”. He replied and she sighed.
“I was really worried about you but don’t do that again. You almost died!”. She said and he chuckled.
“You care about me that much?”. He asked.
“Who wouldn’t? You took those bullets for me and you expect me to just sit and watch? Of course not”. She replied sniffing and he sighed.
That wasn’t the replied he was expecting.
“Are you for real right now?”. Serenity asked and he sighed.
“It’s not what you think okay! My head is trying to process who could have done that! I don’t even have idea of where she might be”. He replied and she scoffed.
“Are you a fool or you’re just pretending?”. She asked.
“Huh?”
“I don’t know why she fell for a fool like you! You don’t even know if she has haters or not yet you make her cry every single time! Do you even know what she passes through while mingling with the foolish Crystal queens?”. She yelled and he said nothing.
“She never told me anything like that and besides…..”.
“That’s because you are not bothered, or should I just say you didn’t ask her. If you claim to love her, you should always be there for her. She endured so much just because of you, why do you think she avoids you all the time? Do you think she is the only who one who likes you? For pete’s sake! Laylani does and she bleeds everytime you talk to her or mess around with her”.
“Do you know how hard she cries when she sees you flirt with other girls? But all you do is break her heart over and over again and she still chooses you!”
“I really wish I can freeze her heart, so she will stop falling for a guy who isn’t worthy of her love”. She spat and tears trickled down his face.
“I know I’ve wronged her but now isn’t the best time for this! We need to find her”. Freddie muttered
“Let’s go in and discuss with the others”. She said and they went back inside.
~BOBBY’S MANSION
~MARIELLE’S ROOM
Marielle sat on the couch while her friends bored holes into her skin.
“What?”. She snapped.
“Tell us what’s going on”. Caitlyn demanded and she scoffed.
“Absolutely nothing”. She replied smiling.
“The gunshots was your handwork right?”. Laylani asked.
“Me? I would never do that! It’s too expensive”. She replied.
“You almost shot Daphne and Winnie was abducted in one night!”. Caitlyn yelled.
“I’m only responsible for Winnie’s disappearance! As for the gunshots, I don’t know anything about it and stop taming it on me!!”. She replied and Caitlyn smirked.
“What has she done to you? Obviously nothing! I tried to develop one single hatred for her but I just couldn’t bring myself to hate someone who has done nothing wrong to me! Why on earth will you abduct her?”. Caitlyn screamed.
“Yell again and I’d push you out of my house this moment!”. Marielle fired.
“You don’t have to do that because I’m leaving already, Brandon risked his life to take those bullets and you aren’t bothered! I hope you find what you’re looking for”. Caitlyn stood to her feet.
“This is where our friendship ends, I can’t keep mingling with murderers!”. She spat and walked to the door.
“Caitlyn, are you…..”.
“Don’t act like a saint because you both are no difference”. Caitlyn said and left slamming her door shut.
“What was that for?”. Laylani asked facing the less bothered Marielle.
“Let her be! She’d definitely come around”. Marielle said and Laylani sighed.
Truth to be told, she (Laylani) felt nothing but happiness when she heard Winnie was missing.
“Finally, I can have Freddie to myself”. She said inwardly.
~HUDSON’S MANSION
Dwight stepped in not quite long and met his mum crying her eyes out in the living room, staring at a picture. He peeked and found herself in the picture and he got confused.
“Crying and staring at your picture, isn’t that weird?”. He asked and she quickly wiped her tears.
Her phone rang and she picked it without looking at the caller.
“I’ve told you to stop calling me! You clearly ended things years back! So let me be!!!”. She yelled and hanged up.
“Who was that?”. Dwight asked.
“No one”. She smiled and left for her room.
“She is getting weird this days”. He thought and left for his room.
~HAYES MANSION
“So what do we do?”. Daphne asked almost in tears.
“Yours tears are getting annoying, must you cry at every little thing?”. Rudy asked, it’s obvious he’s frustrated.
“I’m sorry”. She muttered biting her lips.
Brandon just held her hand tight, giving her a reassuring smile.
“I have a plan”. Serenity said.
Chapter 33 & 34 : Jealousy & Struggle
~BOBBY’S MANSION
Mrs Bobby scrolled through her phone as she made herself comfortable on the couch with a glass of wine in her hand.
Her smiles were bright warm, revealing her white set of teeth. Raising the cup to her mouth, her phone dinged repeatedly.
It was a message from an unknown number.
She viewed the pictures sent to her and choked on her wine, spilling it on the floor and couch. The cup fell from her hands while she trembled greatly.
Her palms became sweaty and sweats also did a gathering on her face spoiling the little makeup she had on.
“Noooooooo!!!!!!”. She screamed throwing her phone away.
“They are dead! We killed them!!!!”. She screamed again and her husband rushed downstairs.
“What’s the matter? Did you see a ghost?”. He asked moving closer to her.
She pointed her sweaty and shaky hands to her phone on the floor. He picked it up and froze immediately.
~12:09PM
~GREY’S MANSION
“Are you really sure about this?”. Freddie asked pacing round his room.
“I’d give you a good report. Trust me. Just get the cops ready”. Serenity said over the phone and he sighed sadly.
“Lemme just go with you”. He said and she hanged up immediately.
He scattered his hair in frustration and the devil walked in.
He ignored him and his dad smirked, he went upstairs without saying anything. He returned downstairs yelling, Freddie hissed and left the house without giving him a reply.
“So it has gotten to this!”. He smirked and went back upstairs.
He actually forgot a file and he returned to pick it up, he called Freddie several times but he didn’t pick it till he (Freddie) blacklisted his number.
~MERCEDES APARTMENT
Mrs Mercedes sat dejectedly on the floor, the past days has been tears for her. She has no idea about her child’s whereabouts and it’s really taking a toil on her.
“I should just go to her school”. She muttered.
She tried standing but she was too weak to do that, she gathered the little strength in her and stood to her feet holding the wall for support, she had barely taken a step when she fell on the floor and lost consciousness.
~UNKNOWN LOCATION
A car pulled up far from the old building and the figure smirked before driving off roughly.
Winnie slowly opened her eyes and saw no one in sight, strength is gradually leaving her, her tied legs and hands are now swollen, her bruises are now dried and disgusting as it hasn’t been treated for days.
One was kind enough to let her have a gulp of water, she couldn’t move nor talk, she tries her best to stay strong for her mum but it seems her strength is gradually failing her.
~HOURS LATER
Police sirens filled the air and she breath out in relief, her eyes gradually closing.
“I guess help is coming”. She thought.
Minutes later, the door burst open and Freddie was the first to rush in followed by the rest. Brandon and Phillip couldn’t tag along.
She let out a weak smile and finally shut her eyes.
“Winnie!!!!!!!!!!!!”. Freddie screamed and hurriedly untied her.
He scooped her into his arms and raced out of the building in full speed. He dropped her in the car and drove off roughly without waiting for the others.
“No one in sight”. One of the cop said and Serenity smirked.
“You won’t get away with this, I promise”. She said inwardly.
“Thank you very much”. Rudy said.
“We are glad she is rescued”. Daphne exhaled.
They all left the building and drove off.
4PM
VIP ROOM~SPICY RESTAURANT
The dimmed light gave the room an extraordinary look, a table at the center, decorated with flowers and candles.
Sumptuous dishes and a very expensive red wine sat peacefully on the table. Judging from the facade of the well designed room, one could tell how romantic it is.
The door creeped open and a gorgeous woman stepped in putting on a long off shoulder gown with a long slit in front, slightly showing her spotless thighs, it was beautifully designed with pearls.
A black 4ft heels and red matching purse and her dark shades giving her a hot and classy look.
Beside the table, stood a gorgeous man putting on a black tuxedo and shinny black shoes, his shinny black hair styled perfectly giving him a charming look.
He released an enchanting smile and pulled out a chair for her to seat. Standing before him, is the woman who he has always loved, one of the top single mothers, no other person than Cammie Hudson.
Without sparing him a glance, she sat down and crossed her leg, he also took his seat.
A soft music played at the background while she scoffed.
“How are have you been?”. He asked staring at her, his deep blue eyes held nothing but emotions.
“Not good because someone has been stalking me”. She replied rolling her eyes.
“I am….”
“Can we go straight to the point, I have a son waiting for me at home”. At the mention of her son, she but her lips sadly.
“I’m sorry”. He muttered reaching out for her hand, she withdrew her hands slowly and he smiled sadly
“Let’s talk after eating”. He said and they grabbed their cutleries.
~SEOUL HOSPITAL
The doctor stepped out of the emergency room and Freddie was the first to rush to him.
“How’s she?”. He asked impatiently.
“She slipped into coma and It’s a fifty fifty chance”. He said and Freddie staggered backwards.
“Wh…. What did you just say?”. Freddie asked trying not to break down.
“We tried out best”. He said.
“Get one of her relatives here to sign some papers”. He added and left.
Daphne was already in tears as she held on tight to Valentina.
“Who the f*ck did this?”. Rudy hissed.
“I’d be back!”. Serenity said trying to subdue her anger and without wait for their response, she ran out of the building, got into her car and zoomed off.
VIP ROOM~SPICY RESTAURANT
“I’m sorry”. He said but she said nothing.
“I know I’ve wrong you but…..”
“19 years Drake! It’s 19 years now and you are saying you’re sorry? What can sorry fix? You left me at my toughest time! You left me all alone with pregnancy not minding if I die or not. What can sorry fix? Tell me!!!”. She yelled and he blinked back his tears.
“It wasn’t my fault, I was forced to do that. My parents threatened to kill you and my unborn child. They wanted me to elope with the girl they chose for me, I did that to keep you alive, believe me”. He said and she scoffed.
“You should have just let them kill me! I went through hell during pregnancy and after childbirth because I couldn’t afford to raise the two kids, I dumped one and now I can’t find her anywhere! It’s all your fault!!”. She cried messing up her makeup.
He was shocked and broken to hear she dumped one of his children.
“I’m a jerk and I’m not denying that but we can fix things and look for our daughter. Please”. He pleased going on his knees.
Ever since he returned years back, he has always sought of a chance to have a conversation with her but she never gave in, she finally gave him the chance to and he’s never gon’ misuse it.
“I don’t want you in my life anymore! As you can see, I’m doing fine, my son is doing fine! So stay away from me, you are not their father and they are not your kids!!”. She yelled and picked up her purse.
She had barely taken few steps when he hugged her right from behind not letting her go despite how hard she tried to get off his hold.
“Cammie, I’m sorry. I’m ready to correct things and be the best man for you and the best father for the kids. I know I’m not worthy of your love anymore but please, those years without you was hellish for me. Cammie please, I’m ready to bare the consequences, just don’t push me away again”. He cried on her shoulders while she never stopped hers either.
He gently turned her to himself and hugged her tight, more tears flowed down her fluffy cheeks. She just stood in the arms of a man she never stopped loving despite how he dumped her and eloped with another girl.
Recalling those hurtful memories brought nothing but more tears to her eyes, she just stood without reciprocating the hug. He broke the hug and held her face passionately.
“I don’t care how long it takes to accept me back but I’m willing to wait and I will never give up on you. I promise but please don’t let me wait for too long or I might just die”. He whispered in tears.
She yanked his hand off and finally left the room, she ran off to the elevator and broke down into more tears. The elevator dinged and she ran to her car driving home.
NIGHT
~MCKENZIE’S MANSION
“What kind of parents are you?”. Daphne yelled with tears in her eyes.
“You claim to be my parents but you never cared about me, I almost died and no one was bothered!!! Why did you both birth me when you know you aren’t capable of taking care of me!!!!”. Daphne screamed on her parents heads.
They just stood dumfounded, the Daphne they know was a meek on but the one before them is nothing but a tigress ready to devour it’s prey.
“Daphne…..”
“Don’t call my name!!! Do you even know what I’m going through? Sh!t has been happening but you don’t even remember I exist. Countless nights have I spent at the freezing park when your daughter won’t let me in, my needs were ignored and even my education went on hold because you’ve refused to sponsor it.
I work hard to feed myself, you didn’t even bother to ask how I’m surviving out there on the street or how I got my a*s back to school!!! I hate you both!!!!!!!! You know what?….. I’m leaving till you both get your heads straight”. She spat left pulling a bag along with her.
They exchanged glace and sighed, no one bothered going after her.
She got outside and met Dwight waiting, she got in and he drove off without a word. Upon seeing her a get face, he knew best not to talk.
9AM~NEXT MORNING
~THE PRESIDENT’S VILLA
The doctor just changed the bandage and one could tell how healthy he is looking, for the past days, he hasn’t set his eyes on his dad. He sighed sadly bitting his lips slowly.
He checked the school blog and it’s just blank except the names selected for the competition.
He sighed when he saw his name and tried Daphne number again. It rang but no one picked it up. He dropped the phone and hurried his face in bed.
~PENTHOUSE
A man dressed in just a plain white shirt and white shorts sat at his balcony enjoying the cool morning breeze. He has a cigarette in his hand as he smoked heavily.
His phone rang and he picked it up without looking at the screen.
“Boss seems we got the wrong target”. The caller said and he threw the cigarette away standing to his feet furiously.
“Tf! How could you??? Is that how incompetent you are? Get the job done before the week runs out if you love your life even if it means wiping off everyone around her!!!”. The caller threatened and dropped the call.
“You won’t expect what’s coming Myles”. He smirked and went inside.
Chapter 35 & 36 : The Importance of Friendship
THREE WEEKS LATER
The sun rested perfectly above the earth, giving a warm weather. The busy road added to the beauty of the city, as everyone seems to mind their business.
Everything seems to be peaceful asides the fact that Winnie is still in the hospital.
They all got their a*ses back to school and are really preparing hard for the forthcoming competition.
It’s not just a competition but it’s a competition that recognises exceptional talents. Other celebrities will be present to perform and also watch the competitors.
The best might get a chance to get signed into their industry or join their group. There is also a possibility of record recognition and grand award winners.
If you were the one, you wouldn’t want to miss the opportunity right?
The competition was organised by celebrities, music celebrities precisely. The selected celebrities will get to judge on that very day. It’s a battle between 10 lucky school with 10 contestants each.
Marielle wasn’t selected among the lucky ten but was told to replace Winnie in her absence, only if Winnie wakes up in time will she get to performs with them.
Freddie never spent a day without visiting Winnie and most times, he passes the night there. He really can’t wait for her to wake up. Likewise, her friends, they pay her visits most times.
~HUDSON’S MANSION
The door bell rang and Dwight who was at home with his mum went for the door.
The bell rang again, this time louder.
“Don’t break my ears, I’m coming!”. He snapped and opened the door.
“Hi”. The man outside said and Dwight raised a brow.
“What can I do for you?”. Dwight asked.
“I’m here to see your mum, is she in?”. He asked.
It really took him a lot not to tell him who he is.
“Yes and who are you?”. Dwight asked holding onto the door without letting him in.
He sighed sadly and was about speaking when he heard her voice.
“Son, who is there?”. She asked coming closer to them.
Her mouth formed an “O” when Dwight stepped aside.
“I’d take it from here”. She said and slammed the door, pulling the man outside.
“So, she has started seeing men?”. He asked himself and rushed to the window.
“I told you…..”.
He engulfed her in a tight embrace as the rest of her words got stuck in her throat.
She tried pushing him off but his grip was too tight. Dwight scoffed upon seeing them that way.
His sweet scent hit her nostrils and found herself melting into his arms, she badly want to hug him back but she restrained herself.
He broke the hug and cupped her cheeks, his soft blue eyes gazed affectionately into hers, butterflies danced in her tummy and she hurriedly looked away.
She gently brought down his hands and moved back.
“What are you….”.
He claimed her lips right on that spot, Dwight frowned and pulled the curtains before going to the couch.
She badly want to pushed him off but somehow, she slowly reciprocated the kiss, sliding her arms round his neck. He smiled into the kiss and broke it shortly.
“Can I be your man again?”. He asked seductively resting his forehead on hers, his hands holding her waist firmly.
She said nothing but looked into his ocean blue eyes, the eyes she loves so much, she went for his lips and he smiled responding to the slow and passionate kiss.
Mouth can’t express how happy he is right now, after years of chasing after her, she finally accepted him back.
She broke it and he smiled, he wiped the little tears on her face and scooped her into his arms.
He swirled her around screaming in extreme joy. She chuckled holding onto him tight. He dropped her and pecked her lips.
“Mouth can’t express how happy I am right now, thank you so much for giving me another chance, I promise to be the best man for you and best father for our kids, I love you Miemie”. He said softly while she chuckled.
That’s the name he calls her asides those sweet names.
“Let’s go say hi to my son”. He said pulling her to the door.
Before she could say a word, he flung the door open and met Dwight leaning on the wall with a cold expression.
He hurriedly snatched his mum from him and gave him a hard glare.
“Calm down…….”.
“Don’t talk to me!!!”. Dwight snapped and Drake sighed.
“He is your father”. She said and he froze.
3PM~CRYSTAL HIGH
The seniors who were chosen seems busy as they all rehearsed in the studio. They would present an artiste/band’s song and also present their composed song.
The students selected: Brandon, Daphne, Freddie, Caitlyn, Jude, Marielle, Phillip, Reece, Rudy and Laylani.
The past weeks has been exhausting and hellish for them. Trying to balance emotions and rehearsals, was one hell of a thing to do.
“You all need to make us proud like you’ve always done”. Mr Rogers said.
He was their coach alongside an external coach, a one time celebrity.
“Take 30 minutes break”. The external coach said and left with Mr Rogers.
“Phew!!!”. Rudy sighed out as he slumped on the couch.
They are all drained especially Marielle who kept repeating her lines because it wasn’t good enough.
“Refreshment is here!!!”. Serenity screamed as she walked in with the twins and a big back.
That’s what they have always done to support them, they shared it among all of them except Marielle a Laylani.
“What about ours?”. Marielle asked shamefully.
They ignored her and sat with the rest. Although no one knows what transpired between Serenity and Marielle but somehow, they really enjoy the shunning Serenity gives her.
Marielle frowned and left the room with Laylani.
“Now I can breathe”. Caitlyn exhaled and they all laughed.
For the past weeks, they became friends after she apologized for her deeds.
Valentina bit her lips as she stared at Jude who didn’t spare her a glance. She sighed and looked away, Valentino saw it and sighed as well.
They chatted happily till the coaches returned and they began their final rehearsal for that day.
8PM
Daphne shut her eyes tiredly while Brandon drove in his car.
“Your house?”. He asked and she shook her head.
The thought of going back to Dwight’s house gave her chills, he has been acting weird around hr lately, same goes to his mother.
Her parents hasn’t called nor looked for her ever since she left.
“Let’s rehearse our parts together since we are the lead singers, I don’t feel like going home”. She said and he raised a brow.
“Are we to rehearse on the…… Oh, I get it now”. He said and smiled secretly before driving home.
~THE PRESIDENT’S VILLA
Brandon pulled up in the lot and stepped down, he froze when he saw his dad’s favorite car outside.
The guards bowed in respect but he ignored them, their sight annoys him.
His wound has healed up and the scar is gradually disappearing, all thanks to his dermatologist.
Daphne also stepped down and scratched her neck when she saw him staring at a car, she moved closer and he held her hand all of a sudden.
He got in and as expected, he met his dad on the couch reading newspaper. Daphne quickly bowed down.
First time seeing the president and she is nervous as hell, their President is so strict.
He raised his head and stared at Brandon, down to their locked hands and down to Daphne who’s head is down. He sighed and diverted his gaze back to the paper.
“Good evening dad”. Brandon greeted and he nod.
“Go…. Good evening Mr President”. Daphne greeted fidgeting.
He nod and Brandon pulled her upstairs. He got to his room and sighed out.
“Never knew I’d be meeting the president in this awkward situation”. Daphne said also exhaling deeply.
He chuckled and walked to his wardrobe, he brought out a big shirt and shorts.
“You can change into this, I’d be in my suite”. He said pointing at a door.
She took the clothes and rushed to the bathroom, he smiled and left for his suite.
~MINUTES LATER
She was done, the shirt was extra big on her and the short was nothing closer to her size, she sighed and pulled it off.
She left for his suite and met him on the couch with a tablet. She smiled and sat beside him peeking at what he was doing.
“Why don’t you want to go home?”. He suddenly asked breaking the silence.
“Ehm….. Actually, I stay with Dwight for now”. She replied and he looked up.
“Why?”.
She took a long breath and explained everything to him.
“So that’s was why I saw you at the park the other day”. He said and she nod.
“Have you ever wondered if you’re truly their child?”. He asked and she nod.
“But I brushed the thought away, it could just be I bring bad luck to them”. She replied and he chuckled.
“It’s not funny”. She frowned.
“Which parent will treat their child that way if the child is truly theirs, you have a sister and they pamper her a lot, so what differs you from her if you’re their child?”. He asked and she sighed.
“I just don’t want to imagine that, they would come around”. She replied and he nod.
“Why if they don’t?”.
“Hey!!!!”. She frowned hitting the back of his head.
“Earlier, I didn’t see The First Lady, is she around?”. She asked and he sighed sadly.
“She passed on the day I was born”. He muttered, tears trickled down his cheek and she wiped it off for him.
“It’s just that I didn’t get to tell her how much I love her despite the fact that I don’t know how she is. Only her picture do I admire everytime, I really wish I wasn’t born, maybe she would still be alive”. He said and the more tears poured out.
She pulled him into a warm embrace and rubbed his back slowly, her wrapped his arms around her.
He inhaled her vanilla scent and smiled in tears, inhaling more of her scent.
He broke the hug and looked deep into her eyes, his gaze was affectionate and he could feel her heart racing.
“Can I kiss you?”. He asked and she froze.
