Aaron SamuelShe look through her system one more time before passing me a small smile. "I'm truly sorry. There was a mix-up. Your wife is on the 6th floor." She said. "6th floor..." I trailed off. "Second turning by the right and first turning by the left." She replied and without a word being said to her, I sauntered up straight to see my wife. I and my parents sauntered to where they were all standing before my gaze fell on my brother, Nathan. Her friends are all here too. I guess, everyone has always been there for her for the past months except me. It was really hard to walk up to them, I couldn't see myself going closer to where they all are. Suddenly, I felt a hard yet firm hand on my shoulder. I do not need to be told who it was, it's my dad.I turned to face him and he gave me an assuring smile with a nod. I don't know if I can do this. A deep sigh left my lip whilst I pat his hand before sauntering closer to her family. "Charlotte." I heard my mom call after Sophia's

Aaron Samuel"Amanda" Charlotte gave her a warning stare. "I'm sorry Aunt but, I'm not gonna listen to you this time around. You're very well aware that someone needs to make him see the truth. The truth is that he's wrong. We all know he wronged Sophia in so many ways. He never regard her existence, she was treated like trash by him and his so-called girlfriend." She hissed and glared hard at me. Where's the lie? She's damn right!"Just stop it, guys! That's enough!" Charlotte said again. "Why do I have to be? I have no idea why you're backing him up for his action. Your daughter is lying lifelessly in there but, you want us to act like everything is fine when he walks up to us? I have no idea why he had to show up all of a sudden. Of course, he has a mistress so, why is he here?""I said... That's enough, you crazy girl" Charlotte repeated through gritted teeth. "But mom, Amanda is right," Janet said. I looked at her and sighed. I can't believe she's also upset at me. Of cour

Aaron Samuel"At this point, I will keep apologizing to everyone for all that I've done in the past. I'm truly sorry for everything and I know, I've done a lot of things, especially to you Mr. Steve" I turned to face Sophia's uncle as I said. "I know there's no amount of words coming out from my mouth that would make y'all believe me but, I want y'all to know that I'm now a changed person." On a normal day, I wouldn't do all of these. Not because I didn't regret my actions but because my ego won't let me. But now, I'm glad I didn't let that get to me at this moment. "Aaron, that's enough," Charlotte said. "You know, I believe you and I'm no longer upset at you. At first, I was so mad at you. Even though I know it was because of her you end up losing your memory making you not have any memory of her left, I couldn't control my anger the day you sent those divorce papers to her. But, I've come to realize that, non of what has happened is your fault.""The truth is, you've done a lot

Charlotte CensatioImmediately those words came out from the doctor's mouth, I knew no one can save Sophia except Ivy. Only she can save my poor child at this point. Once he left, I asked for my phone and it was given to me. Without thinking about anything, I call her phone. Fortunately, she picked up the call on the first ring. "And, to what do I owe this pleasant call from you, Mrs. Censatio?" I could hear the irritating and mocking tone in her voice. "Ivy, you need to get here right now. You need to save Sophia" I said, breathlessly. She scoffs. "you must be crazy to ask me to come over there to save that useless daughter of yours. What business do you think, I have had with her? Whether she's poisoned or not, I don't care! Go ask the doctor to save her and not me, idiot!" "Wait, what?! You knew that she was poisoned? H.. how did you... how did you know about it?" I asked, stunned."I told you, didn't I? I'm always going to keep my eyes on you. Of course, I know about everythin

Aaron SamuelHours LaterWe all saw the doctor walk straight toward us and I jumped up from where I was seating. "Where's my wife? How is she feeling now?" I asked him. "Well, we can save her all thanks to the blood Mrs. Gilbert gave but, unfortunately, she lost a lot of blood. The circulation of the blood was too thick and it affected her womb, I'm sorry. This might be really hard for you but, it will be hard for her to conceive again. But at the moment, her health is stable" "What?!!""I'm sorry" he said again."Are you telling me now that Sophia can't bear children?"Well, we still can not say hut for now, it will be hard considering the damage it has caused to her system. We only need to carry out one last test on her to fully know the status of her health. I think from there, we can proceed and find a way of it will be possible." "Why not do it now?""No, Mr. Samuel, this can only commence after she has fully recovered""And my daughter, she's fine, right? She's okay now?" Cha

Sophia CensatioOh.. my... goodness! I can't believe this! He's.. he's here? I can't believe what I'm seeing right now. I can't believe that Aaron is here! Is he here for me? Is he worried about me and that's why he came all the way here to see me? Or, did Nathan call him and told about what has happened to me? I can't help it, I want to know the reason why he's here because I could still remember my last conversation with Nathan. He hasn't regained his memory yet so, it's hard for me to believe that he's here for me. Even though my head is telling me right now that he's here for me, my heart keeps saying otherwise. I want to believe it. I want to believe that he's here for me because the look and the expression on his face were so different from the ones I have come to see for the past few months since the very day he lost his memory. They all walked in and sauntered closer to where I was sitting on the bed. I'm still weak and it's hard to stand up. Again, I shifted my gaze to hi

Sophia Censatio"You crazy girl! Who has asked you to speak" my uncle smacked Amanda's arm, as he said that. "Ouch! Dad! That was painful!" She exclaimed with a glare ok her face. I'm not bothered about that for now. I just need to understand what exactly is she trying to tell me, and, no one else wants her to say a word I look at my mom.. "mummy, what is going on here?" I asked. "Hey, my baby. You have to bother yourself over nothing. Nothing is going on. Of course, you know how your sister can be at times" "No, Sophia! A lot is wrong. Come on guys, we can't keep hiding the truth from her. Sophia, the doctor just confirmed to us that you are poisoned and, it has dangerously affected you. Sophia, you need to tell us, who was the last person you saw and talked to earlier this morning before you end up in such a state" she said, looking at me intensely."Wait, what?! Did you just say, poisoned?!! I... I can't believe that she tried to poison me! I had thought she was sincere with

Sophia Censatio"My baby, what I'm about to tell you right now might make you hate me forever but please, you just have to listen to me, okay?" "You have to believe me, there's no way I would want to separate you from your biological mother but, everything was not my fault. I was led into this" mom said as she stared at me, intensely. "Can you just tell me what's going on already and stop beating round the bush, mom? I don't understand anything you're saying! You what me to accept the fact that this woman standing right in front of us here is my mom while the truth is, she's Cynthia's mother, mom! There's no way she's ever going to be my mom!" "Sophia, you need to stop saying those words out of your mouth, you're hurting me more with your words. You have to believe me, you're my biological daughter. I... I have proof that you're my child and here it's" she passed me an envelope as tears streamed down her cheeks. I look at her suspiciously before taking the paper from her. I do not
