Zenith entered the private room. He is having dinner with his friends, Jerry Gordon and Ethan Macaulay. They are childhood friends and people call them brothers. Zenith has been losing his sleep this days, Since he saw that woman again, he wasn't himself. He wanted to see her.
That night with her was his first time and since then he hadn't slept with any other women. Each time he wanted to lay with a woman, he always felt irritated.He will garg each time he trued to be intimate with a woman. And that face was a face he would never forget. He wondered if it was possible to fall for someone so easily."I saw her again", He told Jerry." Who?", Ethan asked."The lady I was with four years ago", Zenith replied." You still haven't gotten over her? ", Ethan asked.Zenith sigh."If only I could meet her once", he said." Didn't you say you saw her", Jerry asked."I saw her while passing..."Ethan and Gordon sigh."Forget it, let's just drink", Ethan said.Mia phone beeped. It's a message from Adam.
__Do you have time? Do you want to eat lunch with me later today?__Mia didn't have any appointment that day so she agreed to have lunch with him.__Let's meet at 1:00 then__, She texted him.When Adam saw the message, he confirmed his guess that Mia still like him. It's like she couldn't wait to have dinner with him. He asked her out to lunch and she agreed immediately.
" Well, First love doesn't fade easily", he said feeling smug. In as much as she still like him, it will be easy for him to woo her.He decided to get a gift for her.Mia was surprised when she entered the restaurant and was led to a private booth.
Isn't it just lunch? Why did it have to be a private booth?She opened the door and entered. There were just two seats in the room facing each other. There is a bottle of wine on the table and glasses. There is a small of bowl of fruits on the table too.Adam stood up when she entered."You are here, Mia", he called gently.Mia smiled."I came late?", she asked." No no. I came too early", Adam said."Why did you book a VIP table?", She asked him " I thought we are eating dinner to catch up on things.You don't really need to go all thus length ", Mia said.Adam was impressed with himself. Thank God he made reservations. Who knew she will notice details like this? She must be very happy. She's probably waiting for a confession or something.After all, this setting is so romantic. He is going to make her wait for a while. He might also make her confess to him again.His pride is really hindering him from confessing to her first. After all, she had confessed to him several times and he had rejected her al those times.Mia did not have any beauty that will attract a man to her. If talking about looks, she doesn't have a special look, she had a common face . Adam didn't even know what attracted him to her. Adam is a rich second generation boy and he is also good looking. He's ladies crush." I'm not eating lunch with just anybody. It's you Mia. And it's been a long time we saw each other", Adam said.Mia nods."True. You should make up to me. I wasted a lot of time and resources on you back then", Mia said.Well, that's not pleasing to the ears.She is saying it as of he is not worthy of the time and resources wasted.Adam smiled awkwardly. He regretted not cherishing this woman he liked when she was head over heels for him.The thing is that he liked Mia back then too bit he was too egoistic to admit it.He was probably afraid of what the students will say if he got together with a plain looking girl like Mia. Or he was probably enjoying the attention. He had wanted to make her his girlfriend if she had confessed to him thrice more. As fate will have it, she confessed only one more and probably gave up. She behaved as if he was air and invisible. In the cafeteria, she will nit seat with him and give him her milk tea like she usually does. When it's his turn to clean she won't stay behind to help him. When playing basketball, She won't cone to the court to cheer him up.Whenever he wants to but something, there is no one who will willingly go for him. She stopped giving him candy every morning and stoped giving him flowers each time they return from holidays. She did not even give him a gift on his birthday.The students praised her for holding on for so long. They even said It's normal for a lady yo get tired of such unrequited love. He was dowed for days.He was assured Mia still liked him on their graduation. She singled him out and beg to take a photo with him. He agreed and had the determination to make her his girl friend. That's why he called her immediately he returned from abroad. He saw her during the reunion and was not able to see her again. He went to her house and her mother told him not to come look for her again. He was very happy when he met her again few days ago."What will you like to eat?", He asked her.Mia took the menu to check what she wanted. She saw that the dishes are quite expensive. Her father is quite rich and they often go out yo eat signatory dishes like this when there is an occasion. At home there were chefs who will cook for them. Now, Mia is quite poor and this kind of meal is viewed like a princess meal which a slave must never covet.She didn't stand on ceremony and ordered some good food.Scarlett found herself waiting in Mia's lobby. She had picked Mia's sin up today from school and decided to bring him to the house. She knew it will take a while before his mom arrived so she decided to stay in the lobby for her a while and see if she could meet Zander again.
She waited for 45 minutes when she saw him enter the lobby. He greeted the lady at the counter who gave him a package. It probably arrived when he is not around." Hi",Scarlett walked to him."Miss Quinn friend", he greeted her.He saw the child with her." Your son is so handsome", he said.Well that's no flattery. She regretted waiting in the lobby with Chris. Everyone that passed took more than two glances at him.A lady even asked of his name.She said her daughter is y and she hoped she gave birth to a son as good looking as Chris. At that time Scarlett was thinking 'you wish.'Come to think of it, Chris dad must be very good looking because Chris surely do not take after Mia's look.Scarlett did not come to her senses until Zander said, "Your husband must be very handsome if your son looked so goodlooking" Scarlett "? ?"'What son? What husband? I wouldn't mind if you're that husband though. Having a cute son like Chris is nice too'Frank hugged and pat Dylan's back."You're here. Everyone was waiting for you", he said'Everyone, except me!', Rosa yelled in her mind." And who is this gentle man?", Tracy asked.Frank put his arms around Dylan's neck."Dylan, meet my mother in law. The man seated beside her is my father in law, John Stuart. And this is Selena and sam, they are my daughter in law's parent. Meet this gentle man here. He is Stanley, our Mia's brother", As Frank was doing the introduction, Dylan was busy greeting them." I believe you had met everyone else in the room", Frank said. Dylan nodded and smile. He had been trying to avoid locking gaze with Rosa!"Everyone, meet my future son in law!", If Rosa was eating anything, she would have choked.'What the hell are you doing dad?', She would asked him if there isn't guest around.Dylan bowed and smile." Nice to meet everyone, I'm Rosa's Fiance!", he said.Rosa thought she missed out on something. Shouldn't he use this opportunity to clarify things
Rosa was totally oblivious to the fact that her dad had called Dylan over. Dylan didn't call her too. He's afraid she will tell him not to go even after he had promised her father. He didn't want to be a man who would go back on his words.Rosa was with her family in the living room. Her maternal grandparents are around too and they are expecting Mia's mom to come over later. "I pity that kid, she had to live with no care from both parents at such a young. And she grew up really well", Tracy said.John nodded and agreed with her." She even raised Little Chris all by herself. She is so independent", John added.Tracy turned to comfort."You had better let's urge Zenith and Mia later. They should hurry and give us a granddaughter!", She said." I have been saying it but they are not listening. We can try again later though ", Comfort said." Young Master and young Madam is here", A servant announced.Zenith walked in, holding Chris and Mia came in with her mom, step dad and brother.
Zander was pacing the corridor to the theatre endlessly. Scarlett mom was seated on the bench nearby receiving scarlett dad's call while Zander parents were just sitting there."Calm down, Zan. We will get good news", his mother tried to placate him.Scarlett had decided to give birth with a CS and he had agreed with her as he didn't want her to pass through stress. The door to the theatre finally opened as the doctors came out.Zander hurriedly rushed towards them." How is my wife?", he asked."Glory be to God. Your wife gave birth to a bouncing baby girl", the doctor told him. She will be transferred to a ward. Put your mind at rest. Both the mother and the baby are in good condition"Zander let out the breathe he didn't know he was holding."Thanks so much, doc", was all he could say." You're welcome", the head surgeon replied as they walked away."Congratulations", Zander parents greet Scarlett mom." Congratulations to you too. Our grand daughter finally came to the world",
"Turn yourself in", Mia stated clear and crisp. Tony wondered since then if that's really the right thing to do. If he turn himself in, perhaps he could make up for all the wrongs deeds he had done but the bad father in him thought that he hadn't enjoyed enough. There are still so many good things out there. He had decided to still side with Maya at last. He believed there is no way the other party could win.Until that moment in the court room when he saw that they had gotten some evidences. He had indeed told Mia that he would testify in court but hadn't reached a decision. The moment the Lawyer said that he wanted to invite another witness, Tony reached a decision. He would turn himself in. Maya had nothing to lose but he had so many things to lose. He had a son, a daughter and a woman he loved. He even had a mom. He believed his mother will be well taken care of after he left for the prison. After all, she was Mia and Yanis grandmother after all. He decided to pay for his sins an
Maya was hysterical. Tony had paid a very good lawyer and yet he was still nervous."Why are you worrying? Who will believe Selena's nonsense without evidence?", Maya asked Tony.Tony was still not convinced.He felt that something is amiss somewhere but he couldn't lay his hands on the problems." Maya, let's tell our lawyer the truth so that he will know how to fabricate it. We shouldn't keep him in the dark. He... He wouldn't know what to do then", Tony wanted to come clean to the lawyer who had been pressuring them to tell him the truth if they want to win the case. And Tony wanted to win the case.Maya cuts in."What I told the lawyer is the truth. We don't know anything about Selena's accusation. I didn't attempt or kill anyone. If you murder someone, you could say the truth", Maya was harsh. " Say the truth and end in prison "Tony kept quiet after hearing her.He thought to himself'How did I cross path with this being. Is her conscience dead?' Tony knew he is evil and gree
Selena called Zenith and told him about Abigail. Zenith asked her if she could recollect Abigail's face and she told he she was able to. Sam had gond to attend to something at work so he is no longer at B-city. Selena called him to update him about the latest."Who put you up to it", Zenith was straight forward and didn't waste time as he interrogate Abigail.She sigh when she heard Zenith question." Miss' friend, Maya and her husband, Tony", Abigail replied."Why would they ask you to do something so ridiculous. I mean my dad is so nice to them_especially Tony. My dad accepted him like his own son. Why would they kill my dad. I mean I didn't expect this at all"Selena started crying."I had evidence in case you won't believe me. If you can give me your number, I will ask somebody to send it to you now", Abigail added.It seems like that is what Zenith had been wanting to hear. Conclusive evidence!Stanley gave abigail his number and she sent it to her brother and asked him to sen
