• FATED CHASE   Chapter 40

  CALEB“Uncle, who was that man? Is he Nelly’s father? That woman is his mother, I have seen her several times at school” She said but I cleared my throat and started the car.“He is not Nelly’s father. Keep quiet.” I muttered.She looked at me via the rear mirror but I ignored her. I knew my words had nothing on her, she was still going to talk.“Why are you angry? It is just a question that needs a simple response.” Elena spoke confidently in the car.“If there is anything going on, why don’t you share it with me. A problem shared is half solved.” He muttered and I had to glance at her face. This girl was too wise for her age, she was just six for crying out loud!“There is no problem.” I managed to say. She touched my shoulder and said.“I feel there is a connection between you and Nelly that I can’t explain. I don’t believe that you don’t have a problem.” He went on and guilt of lying filled my mind.“Let me be, Elena. I have a lot on my mind, forget about this topic. She shrugged

  CALEBI smiled as Nelly ran to embrace me. I saw the confusion in Elena’s gaze, she must be wondering how we knew each other.Elena approached us and she gazed at me before saying.“How did you know Nelly? And Nelly, how did you know my uncle?” She asked.“You mean he is your uncle! He is my friend.” Nelly smiled.“Elena is my niece. Nelly and I are best of friends. It’s so fortunate that you are also his friend, Elena.” I chuckled.Elena went on to explain that her and Nelly were classmates and once had a misunderstanding because of a crayon before they finally become friends.“That’s good.” She mumbled.“Who is coming to pick you?” I asked Nelly.“It should be Mom or Aunt Olivia.” He said and the thought of waiting for anyone who comes to pick him so that I can apologize for Laura’s ill behavior crossed my mind.“We can all stay together till any of them comes around.” I said.“That is a good idea, let’s get the ice-cream.” Elena said happily. I stood in the middle and held their

  CALEB The next day, I woke up a bit late. After freshening up, I went downstairs and I was greeted by Laura who was arranging the table for breakfast.“Breakfast is ready.” She said softly. If I was to judge by her voice, I would have called her an angel but by character, she is far from that.I ignored her swollen eyes which were evidence that she had been crying.“Silas is around. Will he get food to eat?” I said and she nodded.“Yes, there's enough food that can go round.” She replied and I called him, notifying him that breakfast was ready.Soon, Silas joined us at the dining table. While I had eaten half my food, Silas was done eating.“I have to leave now so that I can change my clothes. Don't be late. I will see you at the office.” Silas uttered and left.“Can we talk about last night?” She began. How I wish she knew how much hatred I have for her because of her evil act. Can't she read one's mind? Bringing the topic up again was like adding gasoline to a fire.“No. I don't w

  CALEB “Who the hell does Laura think she is? Is she even worth standing before a woman like Sarah? You need to send her out of your life as soon as you can.” Silas said as he drove us home.“Laura…” I said with a darkened expression. “Could you believe I called her, it rang and she didn't pick?”“She must be up to something. She might be scheming another plan to carry out. That lady is a sister to the devil.” Silas uttered.“Let's go to my house, fast.” I instructed.Soon, we arrived home and to my surprise, Laura wasn't home.I paced restlessly and Silas informed me that he will be in the guest room to rest for a while.We returned home twenty minutes ago yet Laura hadn't returned.She must have planned the perfect lie to save herself or play victim card but I won't fall for any of her tricks.“Where are you coming from?” I asked Laura the moment she walked in. I pointed to the wall clock which revealed it was quarter past nine.She approached me smiling but I avoided her embrace.“

  CALEB I could barely focus. I returned to the car hastily while Silas followed after me and took the driver's seat.“Do you want to run mad because of a woman? I know that you love her but if you d*e today, the men that would seek her attention will be more than the rival you have now.” “It's better you have a sound might and fight for what you want. If only you had listened to me.” Silas spoke unapologetically.“I get,” I muttered.“Let me take you home.” Silas said with a low tone, making me hiss.“Take me to your house. I need to cool off.” I said weakly.Silas didn't argue. The moment he ignited the car, I received a call from Aunt Olivia stating I should see her immediately if I can.I felt there was urgency in the message. Delay might be dangerous so I looked at Silas.“Change of plans. Drive to Sarah's house.” I said.“What? Why do you want to go there? After what happened earlier, I can't take you there.” Silas spoke with his voice etched with authority.I expected him to ju

  CALEBWhy did you purchase the painting on her behalf? What are your plans?” Silas whispered to me when I met him outside the event center.“It’s for Nelly and not her. With that she can never get rid of me in her heart. The bond I share with Nelly is strong and doing this will only be for my good.” I replied and in a long time I was able to shut Silas off.The other day, I booked an appointment with aunt Olivia where I express my apologies for the way I treated Sarah before and the plans I have on ground.There she informed me about a case of theft that took place in her house. I was angry and determined to bring the culprit to book. I decided to treat her and her family to a dinner but two people accompanied them. One was Josh, my longtime rival for Sarah’s heart and a lady called Anna.I expected to see Nelly too but he was absent.The moment I thought I would get to talk with Sarah got ruined by Laura’s presence. She was a thorn in my flesh!How did she get my location? Why was
