CALEB

I followed after Sarah. She was with the little boy, not only did I recognize his voice, from his back view I knew he was the one.

“Nelly,” I called out and he happily came to me.

“It's good to see you.” He said.

“My pleasure,” I smiled.

“My mom has a variety of unique designs that you can choose from.” He said, gesturing to the clothes around.

I was about to say something when he requested that I should meet his mom.

I couldn't say no. I tried to keep my emotions in check the second I stood before Sarah.

“Promise me, you won't interact with strangers.” She uttered.

I felt bad, she referred to me as a stranger. Nelly tried to defend me when she said hurtful words but Sarah rebuked him.

I could tell that she wasn't comfortable seeing me around Nelly and that was why she hurriedly walked away when she heard his voice earlier.

I watched as she pulled him to the kids section to pick an outfit for him. I didn't get the chance to say that my intentions were good!

    CALEB Silas briefed me about some latest developments including a zoom meeting with Sarah.I happily joined the meeting when it was time. After the meeting, I left the office without informing anyone.I decided to have a drink because I couldn't get Sarah off my mind. I want to give my heart what it desires by doing all it takes to send Laura out of my life.As I walked into a bar, I met Stanley.“Hey man, come and join me.” He said to me and I happily sat beside him.The waiter walked up to me and took my order.Almost immediately, the waiter returned and Stanley insisted that he was going to pay for my drink.I was about to take a sip when my phone rang. It was a call from Silas.Can't Silas know when I want to be alone? “Why are you calling me?” I complained but Silas wasn't moved by it.“How dare you leave the office without informing me?” He queried.Do I have to remind him that I was his boss?I cleared my throat. “Stop missing me. I don't have to inform you about my movemen

    SARAH “We can go now. He must be worried that you haven’t come to pick him. It has stopped raining.” Josh said to me.We were working on a project together so I decided we should stop by the house to pick an important document before going to pick Nelly from school. Lo, it started raining. We had no choice than to wait till after the rain cox, I believed Nelly was safe.Immediately I opened the door, I was shocked to see Caleb carrying Nelly in his arms. I was at a loss for words. “Caleb and Nelly?” I heard Josh whisper.I threw a lot of questions at Caleb and he explained how he came across Nelly. Seeing them together only left me worried.I forcefully pulled Nelly from Caleb’s arms and asked him to leave. He was adamant but Josh also seconded my words.Holding Nelly, I returned into the house with Josh following closely.Nelly had a happy expression and the only person behind it was Caleb. I instructed him to run to his room while I paced restlessly in the sitting room.I was not

    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.“
