It was my grandfather's birthday, Tobias's limousine pulled in front of my grandpa's magnificent mansion, and the doors were held open for us to alight by his private chauffeur. I came down first and moved aside for my two babies. They both came down too. Last was Tobias whose face was shimmering with a smile. Our hands linked, as we walked together into the ongoing party. Everyone stopped, and heads began to turn at our arrival. Most attention was on me and Tobias as he held my hands. Daniel and David on the sight of Grandpa in his wheelchair, sprinted to him and wrapped their little hands around him. He held them tightly, placing a kiss on their heads.

“Happy birthday Grandpa,” they both chorus excitedly.

“Thank you, my buddies,” he replied with a wide grin of amusement on his face.

“Happy birthday Grandpa,” I hunkered down to his level and placed a kiss on his forehead. Since the day he set his eyes on me, he has rejuvenated back to his normal self apart from the fact that he was still clenched to the wheelchair due to a stroke attack he had after he got the news of my parents’ death.

“Happy birthday Mr. Jason,'' Tobias wished him, stretching out his hands for a handshake but, He grasped him into a warm hug and whispered in his ear. 

“Thanks for taking care of my granddaughter and her sons.”

They both flashed warm smiles at each other. We presented our gift to him and he was glittering in euphoria. You could see his eyes glistening with tears, I kissed his cheek and proceeded to greet the guest leaving Daniel and David with him. Tobias stepped aside to attend to his calls. I glanced around the party and my eyes caught a glimpse of Uncle Mark, I strode towards him but he instantly turned to me with a wide grin on his face.

“Wow Avery you're finally here,” he uttered, still grinning.

“Uncle cut me that shit, what was the stunt you pulled yesterday?” My voice was cold and distant. I didn't bother greeting him. I don't feel he deserves it, he keeps underestimating me.

“Avery you need to calm yourself, the client reached out to me earlier,” his voice devoid of any trace of remorse.

“And when did clients start reaching out to you directly,” I raised an eyebrow, my expression skeptical.

“Avery it is not a big deal, stop making a mountain out of a mold hill. It's just a meeting, not like I have awarded him a contract,” he blurted. I stared at him in dismay.

“I see, consider the contract void it won't pass my approval,” I revolted. My face turned livid but I had to compose my nerves, it was my grandfather's 80th birthday. I won't want to ruin it for him or myself. 

“Talk of the client, he's right over here.” 

My Uncle's words stunned me, not only had he gone behind my back to meet with him but also invited him to my grandfather's birthday party. What nerves, I seethed.

“Hi, Mr. Mark.”

A sudden cold voice sounded catching me off guard. I turned around to behold the sight of Jeffery, still his old self, with his chiseled jawline, perfectly trimmed beard, broad chest, plump lips, and thick lashes. He hasn't changed a bit. I gulped down the lump that hung in my throat due to the shock. He froze and stared at me in disbelief. 

“Hi..h,” he stuttered, unable to produce any meaningful words. Bitterness courses through my veins. I had wished never to set my eye on Jeffery. Let alone working with him. A frozen silence enveloped the air between us.

“Seems like you guys knew each other.” My uncle's voice jolted us out of our immersed thoughts.

“Not at all,” I sneered, my voice dripping with venom. I could feel the shock on his face. Uncle Mark was about to say something when a voice came behind us.

“Hi baby, here you are, have been searching all around for you.” I heard the voice of Tobias and inches away from me. I instantly turned in his direction and wrapped my hands around him in a warm hug. I could feel the fierce gaze of Jeffrey with his mouth curled into a sullen sneer.

“Are you okay?” Tobias asked, his face arched with concern.

“Am fine,” I muttered, fighting the impulse to reminisce on my past.

“Thank you all for being here tonight to celebrate with the Jasons.” A voice on stage with a microphone interrupted. This got everyone's attention. I disengaged myself from the hug and turned to the stage to behold the sight of My grandfather whose face was radiating with so much happiness. I could feel the intense joy in his words.

“I would like to call my granddaughter, Avery Tyler Jason on stage,” he announced. The soft light illuminated my body as I marched towards the stage with a wide grin. I could feel the gaze of all the guests on me. Uncle Mark threw a dark gaze at me with a look of scorn as I stood beside my grandfather. Jeffrey's gaze was kind of bizarre. He never expected this. My Father was my grandfather's favorite child, and I think he transferred all the love he had for him to me, unlike Uncle Mark who has been rebellious to him. My grandfather's next statement threw me off balance. I held my mouth in astonishment as I gasped for air.

“What!”

  • Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend    Chapter 23: final resolution

    Avery pov “That's enough!!” I screeched, I couldn't stand seeing Jeffery showing affection to the kids he rejected. He was never meant to find out about them, never! Seeing them together brings back memories I never wish to remember. I took a few steps closer to them yanking my babies away from him.I hunkered down to their height, staring at my little pumpkin grey eyes which looked exactly like his. Oh no! I hate to admit that, blood they say never lies. It now dawned on me that my greatest fear is becoming a reality.“Mom, what is the problem? Seems you don't like Uncle,” Daniel spoke out staring at my face with concern etched on his.“No oo baby,” I tried to hide the disgust and hatred I held for Jeffrey. “ You are being too close to a stranger baby and mummy isn't happy with that,” I sulked hoping to convince Daniel that all is well.“But he is a nice uncle mummy,” his face pouted.“Don't you think you should let them know?” Jeffrey's voice sent rage down my core as he interrupte

  • Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend    Chapter 22. The truth is out

    Jeffery pov I knew I made a terrible mistake in the past, the worst of them all was letting go of Avery. I should have searched the entire city for her but no, my pride got the better part of me. The incident that occurred today got me cracked up and restless. That little boy I had accidentally encountered a few months ago called Avery ‘mummy’ Not only that but the affection between them could tell that they are both mother and son. He would probably be four years old, that was how long I and Avery drove apart. The shocking part of it was the striking resemblance between me and the little boy.Could he be my son? I could spell the truth on Avery's face when she saw the both of us.‘Oh no! I have a son’ But why did she hide him from me? Was I that bad of a boyfriend? I treated her nicely when we were together apart from one silly mistake that ruined everything.I couldn't just stand and watch her walk away without an explanation.I had to compose myself and not create a scene at that

  • Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend    Chapter 21: A flash of pain

    Avery pov“Shit!!” This word escaped my mouth when the full realization that the man Daniel was hugging tightly was none other than Jeffery. I felt a piece of ice spewed on my legs, I couldn't lift my feet anymore, my hands trembled realizing that my greatest apprehension was staring right in front of me.How could this be? The anxiety was suddenly replaced with outrage, seeing how Jeffery cupped Daniel's cheeks and placed a peck on his cheeks sent a wave of fury down my spine. My blood boiled in bitterness. I was determined not to allow Jeffery to know about the twins but fate has its way of playing games.The coffee I was holding slipped off my hands, making a sound that caused everyone standing close to stare at me including Jeffery and Daniel.“Mummy!!” Daniel screamed with excitement written all over his face as he ran towards me.Crouching down I gave him a warm tight hug.“Mummy, look” he pointed at Jeffery, “ my uncle that I always spoke about,” He said happily.His expressio

  • Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend    Chapter 20: The trip

    Avery s POVI sighed in relief as I finally succeeded in putting the kids to sleep, they had been so cranky the entire trip. It was their first time going on a road trip and I understood their discomfort. I covered them with a duvet and switched off the lights.We had decided to go on a road trip instead of going through the air, we had felt it would be a better experience, but we were so wrong. David had experienced motion sickness throughout the entire trip, he kept puking that I was so worried he would vomit his intestines. Daniel on the other hand kept shifting and turning in his car seat, we had to stop several times because he wanted to ease himself. I was so happy when the trip was over and we pulled up to the hotel. I walked into the adjoining room of the two-bed suite we had booked earlier but Tobias was not there, I wondered where he might have gone. He might have gone out to the veranda I thought, though I was too tired to go check, changing into light sleepwear, I got un

  • Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend    Chapter 19: It's good news, isn't it?

    Avery's POVI felt like I was in a dream, I still couldn’t believe it was real, I looked down at my finger to the ring sitting on it. I studied the ring, it was an almond-shaped diamond, with little diamonds covering the band. The ring was beautiful and the diamond was really big. It must have been expensive but I hated chunky rings. I would have preferred a smaller stone, maybe a gemstone like ruby.The next morning, the news of my engagement had traveled so fast, faster than I had expected it would. That was the first notification I had gotten on my phone from a popular blog.I had already received several congratulatory messages, I had to tell my grandfather before any other person told him about it, I thought as I dialed his phone number.“Hello, dear,” came my grandfather’s hoarse voice.“Good morning Grandpa,” I greeted him.“Avery dear, how are you and my boys?” He asked.“We are fine Grandpa,” I said as I adjusted myself on the bed in order to deliver the good news. “Tobias a

  • Mummy, please forgive Daddy: Revenge on my ex-boyfriend    Chapter 18: Moving on

    Avery's POVI stared at Tobias as if he had magically become an Alien, at that moment he looked really weird. I struggled to process what was happening, I looked around me to see various staff and other people staring at us, their faces flashing brightly in anticipation. “Avery...” Tobias called, I turned to face him again, as I saw the worry on his face.Tobias had always been here for me so there shouldn't be any need to think about his proposal, I thought to myself but I couldn’t move. I just stood there frozen to the ground, it felt like someone had poured cement over my feet, planting me on the ground.“Avery, will you marry me?” Tobias repeated as I noticed beads of sweat forming on his forehead, he was going into full panic mode. He didn’t deserve to be made a spectacle of, in the presence of this many people. So I did the only logical thing that crossed my mind.“Yes, I’ll marry you, Toby," I said as I brought out my hand so he could slide the ring over my finger. Which for s
