She was still feeling good about her new plan when her phone started to ring again. She rushed to the phone and when she saw the caller, her smile disappeared instantly. She debated within herself is she should take the call or not. She eventually summoned the courage and swiped to receive the call before it could stop ringing.
"You are a very useless child!! Oloriburuku!!!" Her father cursed immediately after she received the incoming call. She had to move the phone away from her ear due to the way he shouted. "What has come over you!? I just told you that you shouldn't do anything that will ruin my reputation and it didn't even take you a day to display your stupidity!!! Like mother like daughter!!" He added angrily. "Am sorry!..." "You are sorry!?? Do you think sorry will solve anything!! My party chairman just called me and he made me understand that if anything should happen again then, I will not be allowed to run for president next year!!! Will your sorry change that!?" He asked her angrily. "It was a mistake. I won't do such a thing again!! I was just confused for a while..." Cindy said with a low voice. "You were confused!? When have you ever done something right!? The simple thing that you should have done!!! You messed it all up! Now, you are telling me you were confused!! When have you never been confused in your life?" Her father asked angrily. If Cindy had been standing in front of him then, he would have slapped some senses into her. That's how angry he was. "I am sorry dad..." "Stop saying sorry and do something right for once in your life!! Will your sorry change what you have done!? I can't even suppress that video from spreading. The harder I try to suppress it the more it is going viral!! It's like someone is intentionally spreading your foolishness!" Her father lamented. Immediately he was notified of the video, he tried everything possible to stop it from spreading but all his attempts didn't work. "I will never take such a step again... I was thinking that if I should go there I will be able to buy public sympathy. I didn't know it will turn out like that!" Cindy explained. "You wanted to buy sympathy!!? You didn't know it will turn out like that?! Sometimes I ask myself if you are my child!! Why are you so stupid!? The only thing you know how to do is waste money and sleep around like a whore! Just Like your mother!" Her father said. "Is that what you should have done to gain sympathy!? Why will you go to a mall that just opened and is filled with celebrities and news personnel just because you foolishly told yourself that you want to buy sympathy?? Can't you just make a post on your social media handles? You should have even made a decent video and posted it and not gone out to make yourself look desperate and stupid in front of the whole world!! Don't make me regret keeping you with me!!" He added. "I have said it won't happen again! I was just confused for a moment and that's why I didn't think before acting. I am already working on something that will make a better impact." Cindy said trying to make her father stop cursing at her. "What plan do you have this time around? Tell me because I don't want to believe you are all grown up and then you go and act like a child again. What plan do you have now!?" Her father asked. "I was thinking of having her investigated. I think I should be able to find something that will dirty her. That's the first stage of my plan. If I uncover anything that will make her lose the love she is getting, that's when I will make her disappear from Christopher's life just the way she appeared." She said proudly. "Mtcheeew!!!" Her father hissed loudly. "You are even more stupid than I thought!! Didn't I just explain to you that somebody is working behind and that's why I can't take down the news about you?" Her father asked her. "You did but what has that got to do with anything!?" Cindy asked with confusion. "Jesus!!! Is your head filled with sand? Do you think you will be able to harm her by spreading fake news!? Ha!!! Cindy!!! Think with your brain for once in your life, please!!! What you are about to do is stupid and will not yield any result. Besides, I have tried investigating her, and I couldn't find anything meaningful. See eh, just don't do anything again and wait for my order. I will tell you what our next move will be.!" Her father said. "Okay, dad. I will await your directive." Cindy answered quietly. She was scared of making her dad angrier so she had to agree but she still had the plan of looking for how to shame Rose and make her disappear. "You better wait and don't do anything stupid. Like mother like daughter!!" Her father said and hissed angrily. "Dad, !" Cindy called before he could hang up the call. "What!!" "Can I ask you for something?" She said cautiously. "What is it? Hope it's not for me to send you another money?" Her father asked. "No, it is not for money! When can I meet my mom?" Cindy asked. "Which mom? How many times with I tell you to stop asking about her? If that's what you want then goodbye!! Don't go and look for how to make money, stay there and be looking for your mother!" He said and hung up the call before Cindy could say anything. Cindy looked at the phone and felt lost. Why can't she ask for her mother? Is it a crime? For as long as she could remember she has not seen her mother and anytime she inquires, her father had always shunned the topic."Oh, God!!! Christopher! You have managed to take away every single part of me..." She whispered. She was sitting in that position for a long time thinking of what to do now that she has finally given a name to the feelings that she has for him. She thought of calling him and telling him how she felt but, decided against it. She thought of just giving him a reply whenever he would tell her that he loves her but felt it won't be special. She was thinking of calling Mrs. Rita so that she would explain what was wrong with her but she realized that she doesn't have Mrs. Rita's phone number. The only person she could think of calling again was Ada. She picked up her phone and was about to call Ada when her phone rang. She didn't recognize the number that was calling her. She wanted to ignore the call but later decided to answer It. "Hello, mom!!" She heard Princess's voice from the other end."Princess? Why are you calling? Is there a problem? Aren't you supposed to be in school?" Rose wa
"Let's welcome, Mr. Christopherr Allen!!!" She said and Christoper walked in with a smile on his face. Rose was surprised as to why he would suddenly appear on tv. She was lost for a minute while staring at him. Christopher took a seat and the host of the show was smiling happily at him. "Good morning Mr. Christopher!" She greeted him after he had taken a seat."Good morning!" Christopher answered."It's so great to have you on the show with us!!" The host said. It was at that moment that Rose got back her bearing."It's great to be here as well..." Christopher answered."So, Mr. Christopher, the first thing I'd like to ask you for, today is that tell us something you think we all should know about you!" The host said."Uhm, what can I say?... One thing I would like anyone to know about me is that I don't joke with my loved ones!" Christopher said while looking directly at the camera."Okay viewers!! We've all heard it. That's the one thing he would like us all to know about him." T
When Christopher got to work, he was still smiling. He was smiling because of what he wanted to do and he was happy. He has always wanted to be close to Rose and Prince for years. The small amount of time that he has spent with them can be considered his best. He has been happy and the best part is coming home to meet people who are eagerly waiting for you. When he got to work, his employees who saw him walk In with a smile were very surprised. They all know that their boss hardly smiles. If you want to catch him smiling at work then, maybe it's compulsory but these days, if he is not smiling then, he will be looking at his phone. He just kept giving a nod to every greeting that he got. When he got to his office, he went to the Picture of Rose that he had in his office. The picture was taken when Rose was Still in Benue state. She was putting on a red crop top and bum shorts and walked out of her house to empty the waste bin. That was when the picture was taken. Christopher had more
"You'll find out in a few hours. Just trust me. Okay?" Rose said."Okay... I am just curious to know what and why you want to do this." Christopher added and continued to eat.In a few minutes, they had finished eating and Christopher insisted on driving them. They all left the house together. Christopher dropped Princess off at school first and then drove Rose to work. When he parked the car, he turned to look at her fully and asked. "Can't I stay with you for just a few hours?""You can, but I won't allow you to. You need to go to work!" Rose said with a smile."Do you know it is not necessary for us to come out of the house? We can just use the office at home!" Christopher said again."What's your point?" Rose asked."My point here is that, if you don't want me to go inside with you then, let's use our working space at home. I have so many companies and I can't go there every day. I just have to wait for when there is something important." Christopher explained."I know but it's
"Thank God you guys finally decided to come back inside!!" Rose and Christopher heard Princess say immediately they walked into the house. They both looked at theirself and Rose smiled knowingly before Rose answered. "What are you doing here? You are supposed to be in your room!""Well, as the cute daughter that I am, I decided to wait for my parents to get back from their romantic night out!" Princess said and stood up from where she was sitting. "Did you guys have fun?" She asked as she walked up to them."Why are you sounding like you are our parent and you have been waiting up for us to get back?" Rose asked her."Technically speaking, I have been waiting for the both of you to get back so, it's right to say I am the parent right now and the both of you got back late From your date.!!" Princess answered and crossed her hands across her chest."Sorry, mom!!" Rose said after Princes finished speaking. "I wasn't my fault for coming back late. I begged him to bring me home but he in
"Ok, you better pay attention because it's a story that we were told when we were very young," Rose said."Okay... Go ahead, ma'am!! Am all ears." Christopher said."Story, story!!!" Rose said and waited for him to answer. When Christopher didn't say anything, she looked at him and shook her head. "What!?" He asked seeing her reaction."You are supposed to say STORY!! That's supposed to be your answer. Then, I will say Once upon a time and you'll say TIME!! TIIM!!" Rose said."Ohh, sorry... I didn't know I was supposed to answer or even say a thing." Christopher said apologetically but with a smile. "At least you are smiling..." Rose mumbled. "Now, let's start again. STORY!! STORY!!" She said out."STORY!!" Christopher answered with a smile."Once upon a time??!" Rose said after his answer."TIME!! TIME!!" He answered."There was a girl whose parents would always warn her never to take anything from anybody. Her parents would always tell her not to take gifts from strangers and she
