Chapter Twenty Three
When I walked in here I thought I was late only to find that Gale himself hadn't arrived yet.He had booked a table at the second floor by the balcony, the view was nice. It felt like I had the map around every sky scraper in the city.
But soon I realised that it had been an hour and Gale was no where to be found, the breeze blew hard and I felt goose bumps rise on my skin.
I grabbed my phone and dialed his number, waiting patiently I realised his phone was off. I tried again and again, I searc
Chapter Twenty FourI had never been in such situation in all my life, was this how life has got to be for me."Why " Another word escaped my lips, I was still standing at the front of the airport with a bit of hope that maybe Gale would come out at the sound of my voice from this end of the phone.It had been almost five minutes on this call and he still hasn't said a thing, I knew deep inside that he was listening and this gave me hope to say more but what was I to say.I was so empty on words to say, how am I to
Chapter Twenty FiveSitting across Gale like this made me so relieved, I looked down at my cup of coffee then up at him.He was also staring at me waiting for me to start talking, I could see the curiosity in his eyes. Lowering my eyes again, I was willing to explain but I also had questions."What you saw was nothing like what you thought " I whispered faintly. Well I guess I have to start from the beginning."Today I met Mr. Rogers " I whispered, it was now that I realised this day was so long. Looking up at cloc
Chapter Twenty SixEven though I was so tired and sleepy I was finding it so hard to sleep. It wasn't because I was uncomfortable, for God's grace I had changed everything in our bedroom. Anything that smelled like Rebecca, I removed it and some point thought I was mad especially when I was throwing out all the bathroom staff, I suspected her to have used.But still I was finding it hard to sleep, I turned to Gale and he was already fast asleep. It was now when I started begging sleep to come to me but still no reply.I sat up with a sigh and got off
Chapter Twenty SevenFinally I arrived at work, Jennifer was waiting for me anxiously outside the elevator with a file in her hand."Good morning " I said and she looked at me like I had grown two heads."This file arrived two hours ago from the way investigator you hired, someone has been waiting for you in your office for an hour now. Good morning to you Amelia will Coffee do you any good " I sighed, the way Jennifer spoke showed me how exactly she was feeling about my actions today, I would make it up to her la
Chapter Twenty EightMy nerves wrecked for those few seconds that Mr. Rogers spent without saying a word, I don't know why I felt this anxious but I did."It was then I knew the real Elena, I always thought she had nothing but I was so wrong. " he added and I frowned in confusion."Elena had made me care taker of everything she had left for you, at first I was surprised as to why but I guess me being your father gave her some assurance " he sighed and reached out for his coffee taking a sip of it.All this while I
Chapter Twenty NineMy day wasn't that easy but if you come to think of it, it started well and that made it easy for me to keep up all day with a smile.I felt like my life was complete after all these years, from the beginning I always thought I was alone in this world and some howmy dad just had to appear and show me that I was never alone.And for mother Pauline, there was nothing great as knowing that she's my relative. Being related to her was the greatest treasure in this life.But now I was anxious ab
Chapter ThirtyWhen mother Pauline and Mr. Rogers faced each other, things got so intense and I felt like things were about to go wrong but actually they didn't.Mother Pauline turned to me and excused herself but Mr. Rogers couldn't let her go so he followed and me, well I had to stay here with Gale. Mr and Gale looked at each other for a while before he started laughing leaving me so confused, " It's funny how you just woke up and caused two elders to fight " he whispered in between laughs and some how I felt so guilty but also angry at the same time.
Chapter Thirty OneIt was time to leave the hospital and go back home but before that happened I wanted to talk to Mr. Rogers first and now here we are sitting across each other on the hospital bed.I reached under the pillow and handed the letter to him, he looked at me then at it. I didn't pressure him and allowed him to take his time in reading through it.Mr. Rogers looked up at me " Do you want to file a lawsuit against them " he asked and I shook my head in a no gesture."I want my job back, stable and not th
