LEILANI "Look who we have here," A voice I used to cherish and look up to said behind me. "Must my day be filled with constant drama?" I muttered. I didn't bother to look back as I already knew who it was. I ignored her and walked up to Melinda who stood smiling at me. "Mummy, hope you did notscold my lookalike?" She asked, her sparkly eyes fixed on me. "Of course not." I kissed her forehead. "So you gave birth to this bastard and still had the nerve to show up in front of me?" the annoying voice said beside me. "Call my daughter a bastard one more time and I will make sure to give you a permanent room in jail," I snarled. "What's a bastard, mummy?" Melinda asked, curiously. "It's nothing. Get into the car. I'll join you soon," I said, wanting her to go away from the witch standing before us. "You," the witch said and pointed a finger at Melinda. "Me?" Melinda asked, confused. "Just ignore her and get into the car, Linda," I muttered. Thankfully, Melinda listened and pull
MELINDA I used to like Uncle Lucian, I always imagined him as my dad and wanted him to be together with my mum, but knowing my lookalike changed my mind. Uncle Lucian now seems annoying to me and I hated the fact that he wanted to be together with my mum. I want my mum to be together with no one other than my lookalike, and I will make sure of that. I will keep driving guys away from mummy until she has no choice but to accept my lookalike. I smiled as I thought of different ways of bringing them together. "That smile of yours is questionable," Mum muttered, looking at me. "I'm just happy Aunt Sienna is not yet back. I'll be able to sleep comfortably in my room tonight," I said and beamed at her. Mum giggled. "I'll call her and ask her to come back home. It's already late after all," Mum said and brought out her phone. "Don't you dare, mummy," I yelled. She paid no heed to me and dialed Aunt Sienna's number. "Bet it, she won't be coming home tonight," I shouted. Mummy stuck o
MELINDA "I'm your dad, Melinda. And I promise I will take very good care of you," my lookalike said and a happy smile adorned my face. I stirred and rolled over, only to fall to the ground. I opened my eyes, the first person I saw was my lookalike about to settle down in the driver's seat. I rose immediately and wrapped my hands around his neck. "So, you are my daddy?" I asked. Then he stilled. "Who…told you that? Did your mummy say that to you?" he asked and gently uncurled my hands from his neck and faced me, staring curiously at me. "No, she didn't," I answered. "Then who?" he asks. "You," I muttered and he gazed at me, confused. "Me…when?" he queries. "In my dream. You said you were my dad and promised to protect me," I beamed at him. His lips curved and he lifted me into his arms. "You are so silly, Melly," he said and pinched my nose. "Melly," I muttered. "It's my nickname for you, my precious baby." he grinned. "I like it," I said smiling. "Let's get you home so y
MALCOLMI felt pressed and needed to use the restroom badly. I reached for my phone on the desk beside my bed. Once I touched it, I turned it on and checked the time. It was 3 am. I heard a gentle snore beside me, making me turn around. There lay my little princess fast asleep. I hit my head to reprimand myself for forgetting that I slept together with my family."Family," I muttered and a smile adorned my face.I gently covered Melinda with the duvet and placed her properly, as she was nearly falling off the bed. Noiselessly, I got off the bed and headed for the bathroom. I caught sight of Lani curled up and shivering on the sofa. My eyes widened, I tiptoed to the air conditioner and turned it off, switched on the heater, and then went back to my queen on the sofa. I lowered myself to the ground and watched her sleep. Her face was so calm, peaceful and innocent. I couldn't stop myself from smiling."I know I messed up, but I'm truly sorry. Just give me a chance to prove myself, " I m
LEILANI "Okay, I think I've had enough," I muttered. "Melinda," I called with the last string of patience in me. "I've had enough of this new attitude of yours. Let's leave." I glared warningly at her to make her know how serious I am. However, Melinda being Melinda wasn't bothered by my glare. She pouted and gazed at me. "I can't leave in this clothe mum." She pointed down at the oversized t-shirt she was wearing. Malcolm had given her his clothes last night. My eyes trailed down the t-shirt . I almost giggled at how silly she looked in it. "Don't you dare laugh at me, mum," Melinda warned, glaring playfully at me. I nearly smiled at her outburst, but then I caught sight of Malcolm stifling his laughter. I cleared my throat. "Go and put on your old clothes. I'll buy you a new dress before we get to the company today. We will stop at a boutique while going to the company today." Melinda fixed her eyes on me, giving me a look only she and I understood. "What? What wrong deci
LEILANI I made another phone call, calling a cleaning company. I sent them my address, telling them to do justice to my house before work hours were over. "You old fools will have to try harder if you want to chase me away from my home," I muttered. I took my black card from my drawer and then left the house. Getting to the garage, I got into my car and drove off. My car halted in front of a hair salon and I got off. In there, the staff rushed over to me. "What hairstyle would you like ma'am," one of them asked. "I have no idea. I want a domineering style that screams boss and riches." They shared a look with each other, then led me away. Soon, I was done and I left the saloon. I got my nails done. I also put on some make-up. Then got a dress from a boutique. I stared at myself in a mirror, satisfied with how I looked, I paid and got into my car, with one destination in mind. The church. Once I got into the church, I parked my car at a safe spot in the church parking lot. Churc
MALCOLMI hummed happily with a wild smile on my face. I did a dance step and hopped out of my car, drunken with joy."My daughter and my future wife slept at my place last night," I whispered in a sing song voice.I jumped up and bumped my fists with the air. "Yes," I shouted and folded my fist.I walked into the company's reception, still humming happily. Employees bowed but I was too cut up in my joy that I did not pay attention to them."Lani ate the food I cooked!" I screamed.Everywhere suddenly became silent, to the extent that if a needle was to drop on the floor, everyone would definitely hear it. I slowly looked around me, only to see employees staring at me as if I have suddenly developed horns.Embarrassed, I asked."What are you looking at?" They all pretended to be focused on their work. I slowly walked away. Once I got to the private elevator, I banged my head on the wall."I'm going crazy," I muttered.An image of Leilani sleeping on my bed popped up in my vision, I
LEILANI After my drama with Tom and his wife, I felt satisfied. "Now, they will know not to mess with me again," I muttered. Once I got to the company, I didn't bother going to my office, I went into Sienna's office first, to check on Melinda. I confirmed that she was okay. Melinda was so busy with her PC that she barely spoke to me, same with Sienna who was so focused on her work. I left them to do their thing and found my way to my office. Getting to my office, I contacted my legal team and in a matter of minutes they arrived. I went through the papers alongside them one more time. And once they assured me that it was indeed legal and valid, I signed them and sent a copy of them to Lani Ventures. I was beyond exhausted, the day's drama had tired me out. I relaxed in my seat and shut my eyes. Hardly a second after I shut my eyes, my phone began to ring loudly. I groaned and opened my eyes. "Did I offend anyone in my past life? Why can't I have a moment of peace," I muttered, the
