LOGIN“Should I come with you?” He asked.She shook her head with a smile, “you can watch over me from here.”“Alright,” he nodded with a smile and she walked off. Just as she was sitting down on the fountain, her phone started ringing and she looked at the screen to see the name ‘Beloved dad’, she turned giddy immediately and answered the call, “yes da…Mr. Shane?” She gulped, she almost slipped, perhaps she was just overwhelmed with joy that she forgot he doesn’t know about her yet and doesn’t want to chase him away before she could even get close to him.“Where are you?” Shane’s gentle voice was heard, even he was surprised why his voice was so gentle after hearing her trembling one.“Um…I’m sitting on the fountain, you will see me there.”“Already did,” he replied and hung up, then he started walking toward her, she was just sitting there, looking around like she was searching for someone. For a minute, she appeared lost to him and he wanted to wrap her up in his arms and tell her that h
My name is Shana, the words repeated in Shane’s mind and he had a flashback of yesterday, the little black haired girl with sparkling gray eyes. Hi, I’m Shana, Shana, does that mean she was the one who sent these messages? He looked at the third message again, what do you say about we meet and get to know each other better? They meet, does he want to meet her? Hell, he does, but why is she contacting him? How did she get his number? Lillian couldn’t be the one to give her his number in order to keep him distracted from the company right?He groaned and cursed himself internally, why must he think so bad of her? He stared at the three messages in his phone, the little girl’s face flashing in his mind. She is Uncle Robert’s daughter, he remembered the old man, how he had treated him when he was a little boy, the man has never done anything bad to him and had even gotten into a fight with his mom because of him, and he loves him, he was like his second father. He was his godfather after
“You have really thought this out, nana Edna,” Shana giggled.“You have no idea,” she leaned down and kissed her forehead, “good night my dear.”“Good night nana,” she smiled, when the woman got up and walked to the door, she called her, “nana Edna?”“Yes child?” She turned.“You have given me the best birthday gift.”“Dear, your birthday is still three months away.”“You gave it to me earlier, I don’t see any other gift that will mean more to me than this.”“You are welcome darling, I’m just honoring my old master’s wish, he wants both you and your mother to be happy and I’m ready to do anything to achieve that.”“You are the best housekeeper in the world and you are the grandmother I don’t have.”“Thank you my dear,” she smiled, “now go to sleep,” she blew her a kiss and left the room.Shana got up and put the piece of paper in the pocket of her favorite coat, she would think of how to best approach her father. She went back to bed and lay down. Minutes passed by but she couldn’t sl
Shana froze, she took a trip down the memory lane, his face, those eyes, that similarity and that pull to get close to him, it can’t be what she was thinking right? “No I don’t,” she shook her head softly.“Your grandpa named you Shana Lucille Williams, and he told you that Shana was gotten from your father’s name and Lucille shares the same first letter as his surname, right?”“Uh-huh,” the girl nodded, her heart was already thumping loud in her chest, she couldn’t believe it, she was finally going to know her father’s name and she is made to believe that she saw him today, in her mother’s office.“The man you met today, his name is Shane Lockwood,” Edna smiled, “Shana from Shane, Lucille and Lockwood shares the letter L.”“Oh my God!” Shana covered her mouth with her hands, tears pooled in her eyes and it wasn’t long, there were spilling down her flawless cheeks, all she could think of was that slicked back black hair, those gray eyes that looked so much like her own. Her mother’s r
The door opening made the little girl lying on the bed to look up, she sighed when she saw the older woman who entered, “hi nana Edna.”“Hello my dear, what are you doing?”“What can I be doing?” She sighed, sitting up on the bed, “where is mommy?”“Oh dear, she left a while ago,” she sat on the bed with her, “I heard what you said to your mommy, about feeling at home here. Is that true?”Shana heaved a deep sigh and looked up at her, “are you going to behave just like mom did?”“Of course not,” she caressed her pitch black hair, “do you want to hear a secret?”“What is it? You know I love hearing about secrets,” she giggled.“Sure you do,” Edna pinched her nose, what she was about to do will bring a fight between her and Lillian but she doesn’t like the way things were going between her and her soul mate. She was supposed to be making up with Shane not creating a bigger feud. It was not what Robert wanted and she lived to honor her old master’s wish, whether dead or alive. Lillian mi
Margaret was getting out of her car to board Shane’s private jet, she had successfully escaped the reporters surrounding her home and was happy that Shane had bought this private field many years ago during the time he had just returned.On her way to the jet, she saw a headlight and wondered if Shane had come to see her off, she thought he said he couldn’t make it? She waited for the car to get closer and blocked the light from her face with her hand. When the car stopped, she realized it wasn’t Shane’s car and was surprised for he told her no one else knows about the field.When she saw the man that came down from the driver’s door and turned to open the backseat door, she knew who it was already and was boiling in anger.Lillian got down from her car and smiled, walking up to the woman who was staring at her like she wants to kill her, she said, “my my, what’s the matter Margaret?”Turning to Sheila beside her, Margaret handed her, her purse, “wait for me in the plane,” Sheila nodd
When Shane returned later at night, he was so tired that his face tells it. He had been delayed in a meeting at the last minute and he wanted nothing more than ending the whole thing and leaving. Finally, the meeting ended and he was back but only to notice something was different, but he just can’
Lilly woke up with eye bags in the morning due to lack of sleep, she was tired as well and wants nothing than to lay back down and sleep but Paulina won’t hear of it as she chased her up to carry on with her morning routine.She sluggishly got up from her bed and joined the girls in bathing and pre
When Lilly didn’t hear him say anything again, she knew she has no reason of lingering around anymore but she doesn’t want to go, she hasn’t had her fill of him yet and hoped he would invite her in.As if reading her thought, Shane opened the door wider and said, “come on in, it’s really cold out h
Days turned into weeks as Shane bought the hearts of the board members. But the more he shows how efficient he was, the more work and problems he found on his desk for attendance and solutions. He didn’t mind any way, he tackled the ones he could and the ones he couldn’t, he called for a meeting fo
