Mr.Gavin Maina's pov
The phone rang unstoppable in my pocket and l was relectuant to answer it.lt was as if l owe the caller dollors. It was very annoying. Yesterday was a hectic day for me. l felt the need to go home and sleep for good hours.
A message popped up instead after l didn't answer.Boss l have sent the investigation results to your email now.lt was a message from my secret private detective.l really trust him alot with jobs that l need reliable information.
And this time it was about my wife.Yes l have been observing her thes past months .She seemed stressed and very secretive.She barely comes home and even if she is around,she hide in the bedroom and rarely comes out.She has completely distanced hersepf from me.l was sure something is eating her up but l couldn't get to the bottom of it since we are like enemies sleeping in one roof at times.
I tried to open my email box but then l posed .My heart suddenly thudded in my chest.l got a feeling that l may not want the details in there. I closed my phone screen and put the phone back on the table in my office.l then got out to go home.
My driver Willy was already as usual.He has worked for me for almost twenty years.He opened the car and l got in.I just don't know why l was scared to the extent that my hands were trembling every time my phone buzzed with a message or any incoming call.l didn't even notice when we arrived at my home.lf Willy didn't inform me that we have arrived, l wouldn't have it in mind. .
I nodded at him and l got out of the car . Fortunately for me, my twins are alway there to welcome me whenever l go back home.
So nosooner hard l entered the living room than my precious daughter Edina came running and gave me a hug with the smile pestured on her face.
My mood even relaxed a bit.Dad you are back you look exhausted today .She said while leaving my chest.Am little bit tired but there is no need to worry dear.Where is my boy? I asked.
Am here dad we'll be back.Eric' voice sounded above the stair and soon his face showed up in my line of view hardly had l finished inquiring about him.
Eric moved nearer to where l was standing with Edina besides me and he also engulfed me in a tight hug.These are my twin kids.l love them alot.Edina has grown to be a beautiful and caring lady .Eric is also the same .Handsome,caring and kind.
They became to be my source of joy as they grew up.We even became friends.We are very close the three us.Since there mother is always travelling to deal with her chain of hotels and restraunts,l preferred running my business here nearby inorder to be there for them whenever they needed a parent.
My twins completed their studies two months back and l want to train Eric of how l handle my business since he is my heir but l gave him six months for him to prepare before we start the job.And as for the princess,l will let her choose what she prefers to do.
I went upstairs into our room and freshen up.By the time l came back down stairs dinner was already on the dinning table.
Dad let's eat before it gets cold.Edina spoke to me.l smiled and nodded at her.Then the three of us sat down and began to eat.My wife ,the mother of my twins still wasn't around during dinner time.She just came back like half an hour after we were done eating.
As usually she greeted us and went in our room to freshen up but never came back.When it was time for sleeping,my twins bide and kissed me their goodnight wishes and left to their respective rooms.
I was left alone in the living room.After watching CNN financial late night news,l went to my study.l got my phone and with one brave move l opened the content in the message.
The first content was a family picture of three people.A woman ,a child and a man happily looking at each other.My hands tightened at the phone l was holding as goosebumps filled my stomach.Fear bombered me as if l saw a gun.
The woman in the photo was none other than my wife.For the child and a man l didn't know.But the next photo that l flipped broke my heart billion times. My wife whom l spent twenty four years with was kissing another man.The same one in the photo.
As if the kissing wasn't enough ,my wife and that man even have a home together and the child who is almost ten years of old was there child.When did she gave birth to a child that old and l never knew.Was it during the time she said that she was building a new hotel abroad that she needed to be there all the time inorder not to mess up things.
Or was it when l was framed and spent a year in prison.Because all of that happened many years ago .oh my God.What have l done to her to deserve all of these!
For as far as l know,the only thing l have done is to love her and our entire family.
My body was shaking and l even felt dizzy but then l wanted to get through all of the information sent to me.
Another heart wrenching thing that sent me into a fainting mode was the last email l opened.lt consists of the DNA tests results of myself and the twins.This was too much for my grown up heart to cater for.
The twins that l loved with all my heart,the ones that have been my first priority,the ones that have grown to be my best friends and made me proud when they called dad with a smile turned out that they weren't my own fresh and blood.
Alec recorded a video himself where he saidGoodmorning every one. My name is Alec Thomas. Some of you may know me and others don't. Am the current ceo of Thomas group. And am here to clarify the rumors spread about my wife.My wife and l met two years ago and fellow in love with each other. At that time neither of the two of us where married or had any partner.So it's ridiculous for miss Linda to call my wife a mistress when she clearly knows every thing. Miss Linda and l were married for two years but divorced due to her betrayal as you can see in the video below this one. Please don't abuse my wife and family more because of this matter otherwise l will be forced to give a lawyers letter. Thank you for your time. Alec's clarification was belief. After his video another played. In the video two people appeared. One man and the other woman. They were in a hotel room. Have you got the document l told you from Alec, the man asked. I got everything in my bag. I even found something
You being a rich sometimes feels you are guilty of many things. And people treat you are you no human. That you have to give in to all their demands. Take Linda for example. She is a greed person and always want more even though she knows it's out of her reach. Mrs. Thomas said.Back then her father was a royal servant of my husband. He was a good mannered man and also keep others safe. As a reward for his hardworker, my husband arranged a marriage between the two families and also sent Linda abroad to study further. My husband died and in that very year my oldest son disappeared. So Alec had to marry Linda. Anyway there wasn't any choice made who should marry her when the arrangements were made. And that time Alec needed a wife for business.He treated her well and she never lacked anything. But she was deceived by others to betray her husband and the family. Now she keeps on pestering us as we owe her. She is just shameless. She added.So that what happened. I thought inwardly. I di
The kids were still asleep but with the help of their nannies, every thing became easy. Few minutes later we stood at the entrance of a gigantic door. It was not inside the mansion but attached to it in the sides. The door slowly opened on its own. A sharp lingering sweetness of incense filled my nostrils. Am not a fun of incense but this was too mouth watering. I inhaled it from time to time as we entered the hall. Like the dinning hall and other important halls in the mansion, the ancestral hall was also cathedral ceiled. It's just a free space with only a red carpet. No chairs. When you just enter you are faced with the alter on which many pictures of old people are displayed.Most of the elders and other youths were present. Old man also the family's only grandpa left on earth took lris from me. He also called the other three kids to go to the alter. He then knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Our dear great ancestors both paternatal and maternal ones l greet you all l present
Six months later we traveled to edini city. Mrs Thomas suggested that since we had named the baby with Thomas family name, she had to be presented to the ancestral hall in the mansion. She claimed that the baby will be blessed and protected. Neither l nor Alec argued about it. In addition to that, Tonny Alec's personal assistant'wedding was around the corner. It was planned to take place in Edini city. Thus this journey was inevitable. It was Saturday night when we landed. Unlike the past visits to Thomas mansion, this time it was filled with people of different ages every where. Is the Thomas family very big? I couldn't help but ask Alec. Yes there are so many people who live in different cities. They normally gather here when some thing important came up. He explained. I nodded. Most of these people ain't easy to deal with and they are greed for healthy in this main branch. We have to be cautious of every one here. Although l dealt with the person who staged the original Alec's p
Ashina's point of viewThe situation was already stagnant but Leyla was still stubborn. She dared to plot something like that to my daughter and thought that she will go scot free. What mind does she have?Ain't you going to apologize Leyla Anthony? I asked but Leyla only scoffed. In you dreams. She uttered without any fear. Very well then. I replied with a smile. At that time Leyla was being held by two body guards. I signaled to them and they got a hint. In the next seconds Leyla was forced to drop on the floor kneeling infront of me. She gasped in pain. I kept my smile as l saw her angry face.You bitch how dare you... Paa.... I slapped her so hard that my palm hurt. Whom did she call a bitch? I hate people to look down on me the most.You think you got it all that you are stepping on me. Bitch am telling that if you are to do something on me just do it otherwise you will... PAA...... Another slap..... Apparently she doesn't know that the word bitch is the reason why she is having
Leyla's point of view Ashina Warren thought that l was her friend few years back. Little did she know that she was the person l hated most in this world. At school she always took my spotlight. Even after school she shone brighter than any of the other girls in school with her wealthy family. And later she married Gavin Maina the guy l had eyes for and my father was in support of me. If l had married Gavin, our family would have been in top five in the country. The Maina family has alot of influence in Rabadan and country Z at large. I didn't expect that she will be a stabbing block in my way. I approached George who thought that l was madly in love with him. But all l wanted was his elder brother. Gavin was smart, outstanding and handsome despite the fact that he had aged. That bitch Ashina ruined our plans by marrying him. How could we just sit and let something that we planned for a long time just go to waste like that. We did everything but never succeeded. Her dad despite the
Ashina's point of viewI had stopped going to work. Every thing that needed my signature had to be done online. However after my pregnancy was in the second trimester, l couldn't even sit on the chair to do work for more than two hours. My head was ever buzzing and am dizzy for minutes. Alec had to take over my roles even though he did not want to get involved in the company anymore. I was sick every day. No every second that at the beginning of the third trimester l thought that l was going to die. My family couldn't do anything but just sit in the living room waiting for what is next.And the kids would just ask me when am going to play with them again. And that would make me sad. However thinking about the other baby in my womb, l had to fight hard to keep my emotions at bay. Surprising the last month l didnt get any sickness and was relieved that am going to give birth happily.l would even walk around in the garden and play with my kids. Who would have imagined that Leyla Anthony
Alec's point of view. It was there, l mean that sense of contentment when l entered the white villa after a long period of time. That is the thing l dont feel when am at the Thomas mansion in Edini city. Here it feels home. It's where l do belong but at the moment l wasnt enjoying it when my Ashina was suffering for our baby. I just finished the last meeting and decided to let her know that l was coming back. But Jane her secretary was the one who answered and informed me that she was in the hospital. Don't get confused. Ashina has two Janes . The one who is the kids' nanny and the other is the secretary at work. While rushing to the car to go to the airport, l asked her what happened. Ashina had informed me yesterday about her stomach discomforts and insisted that she was better. I stupidly believed her but apparently l made a grave mistake. I shouldn't have listened to her and call the doctor right away. Am not sure sir what. really happened to her. I called her several times a
Moments later the dizziness was gone. I helped myself on the railing and l went to my room. Climbing all the stairs almost took my life. I was breathing heavily when l made it to the room. My lips were dry to the extent that there was blood in the middle of my lower lip. I drank a bottle of water that was on table besides my bed.I lay on bed flat.My tummy's discomforts were back again and this it was serious. I tossed on the bed. Curved into a ball few times but nothing was helping. The discomforts turned into unbearable pain.At this time l regretted not allowing Alec to call a doctor.l tried to get my phone to ring the doctor myself and only to remember that l have left the phone down stairs. Luckily someone opened the door. I heard tinny footsteps. I could only imagine that lsla was the one that came in before l blanked out.When l came back to my sense, l was welcomed by a white ceiling and the smell of disinfectants. I knew that l was in the hospital right away.But still l fel
