The next day, Edward woke up on the couch, he couldn't explain how he made it through the night, without loosing his mind. He had called everyone he could call, but waiting till 9am was a risk he wasn't ready to take, he wanted to be at the court before Samantha arrives. That is what Joe told him to do, so that, they could trail the person who brought them.Before 8 that morning, Edward was already there with his lawyer, and there was another lawyer there. Barrister Jerry. He is the most famous lawyer in the whole federation, and he never looses a case, he was sitting, and going through some files too. Edward thinks he is just there to witness the proceedings, so he didn't take him very seriously.Edward had received a call from an unknown person last night, before he slept, telling him that all Samantha wants is to be with her child, therefore, he should just agree, and not try to fight, else, he might annoy Samantha, and she might just decide to expose him. Though even if he had w
Craig was sitting with his grandparents when the three walked in, and he got up immediately to welcome them, so they could join them. He held Samantha by the hand and asked gently, " Hope you were not angry that I couldn't be at the court house with you? She looked up at him, wondering why he worries himself too much, when he had done too much already."You are really unbelievable with that question, you didn't need to be there with us, your land mark was already all over the place". He smiles, as he walked her to a seat, then lifted Whitney up."How do you feel to finally be with your mother? He asked, tickling her. Whitney was laughing, and rolling herself, trying to get away from him, before he finally dropped her, but still holding her close."You should have seen my father's face, he looked like he would drop dead, he was so shocked at the entourage". The laughter continued, before his grand parents decided to excuse them. It seem as though they are people of few words, with his
The very next day, Samantha got up early, she was all dressed up even before Craig came out of his room, which was adjacent to the one she shares with her daughter. She was ready to work, she didn't want to live at his mercy, she wants to be able to contribute to the house, she wants to be able to buy her own things and earn, so while she waits for him, she prays silently that everything goes as planned.Craig is used to waking up early and going to work, as if he works for someone, and though they had talked about her starting as soon as possible, he didn't think she was up to start immediately, which was why he was really shocked, seeing her all dressed up, and looking really beautiful."Why are you up so early? He asked."I have my application, I want to go with you, so I could submit in person". Craig smiles knowingly, and though he didn't want her to feel bad, he would have just wanted her to relax and resume work, the same week her daughter would resume school, but since she was
By the time they got back to the house, Craig was not back, she wanted to tell him how her day went, and the things she learnt, but he wasn't home. Somehow she was angry, but then she remembers that the reason she had wanted to come home early was because of her daughter, since she didn't tell her that she would be starting work that day, so she rushed to her room, but she wasn't there. Mary was also not in sight, she then remembers that she had said that she loves the play ground, it is possible that she is there, so she went there, but to her surprise, none of them was there.There were guards around, so she asked one of them, if they had seen a little girl and her nanny."Yes, they are in the library". says one of them, Samantha was shocked, she didn't know there could be a library in someone's house, she haven't even taken the time to go round, she didn't know where the library is, so she asked, the guard, that had answered her to show her the place, which he did, by just directin
CRAIG'S POV CONTINUES.I was still at work, but I couldn't concentrate, I have seen Paul, and I know she is already at home, but somehow, I feel she isn't safe at home. I don't know why I feel like being there all the time with her. I don't know if that is what will keep her safe. But she is not the only one, her daughter is there, and Mary is there, they all need to be under watch. I should call home, so that I know what is happening, but who do I call now. If I call her, she might feel I am policing her around. I should call Mary instead, I just got her a phone, and damn, I also got her daughter a a phone too, I hope she isn't angry that I got her a phone? Anyways, let me call.This is the second ring, and she isn't taking call, hope they are okay? I should call Joy and know what is still needed, maybe we could reschedule any meeting left."Joy, please come to my office". I spoke into the intercom, and within seconds, she was already in the office, but before she could get the reas
I just stared at her and smiles, but to shock me further, she winked at me, then ran off to the other side of the house.The house is too big, and she always feels like she haven't explore all parts of the house yet. There are parts of the house that she have been, that I haven't even had the time to go.I brought out some of the files that I collected from Sandra, she wanted me to study them, so instead of crossing my arms and just waiting for Craig, I decided to go through the files, and study them for my training tomorrow.Sandra made it very clear, and I was enjoying going through the files, I even began having ideas, that could help me do better, when I heard the sound of the car, I know I wasn't supposed to do what I did next, but I didn't even know when I did it. I rushed to the window, to check who it is that just returned, and as expected, it is Craig. I stood at the window, admiring him for what seem like forever, that I didn't know he would look up at my room, and our eyes
CRAIG'S POVAs soon as she walked in, I felt a little embarrassed that Agatha was kneeling down, I didn't want her thinking I am same with her ex husband, so I quickly dismissed Agatha, telling her to get off the floor, which she did immediately, but she still has her hands joined together, pleadingly."I don't want to ever hear that we ran short of anything in this house, and I don't want to hear that you left this house without telling me, ever again, do you understand? I asked, she nodded, and then I dismissed her with my hand, and she left, she was about to leave, when I thought that she must have gotten the wrong message so I said. I am So sorry you had to witness that, it's not like I..... I got choked in my own word, but she scuffled, making me look at her, and our eyes met, I etched, but I noticed she had a smile on her face, which made her look even more beautiful, than I had noticed before now."You really don't have to explain anything to me. You have every right to chast
After dinner, I went out into the garden to clear my head, while Mary and Whitney, went into the movie room to see a movie, before they would finally retire to bed. I didn't know she was at the flower house, close to the garden, I thought she had gone to bed, for it was already late, she left the dinner table before the rest of us, saying she was going to get some rest, I didn't want to stop her, but I didn't know she didn't go to bed immediately, as she had said she would, it was when I heard her singing in the dark, that I asked my guard, who was there, and I was told that it was Samantha. I was kind of happy, but then I thought again, going there might make her think that I am following her around, so I decided to act like I was just trying to check the entire house before going to bed, so I switched on the torchlight of my phone, and started asking, pointing to her direction."Who is there? I asked with a harsh tone, and she stopped singing, it was when I got to her, that I no
