Anthony finally walked into the house shortly after locking up the gate. He was sad, but there was nothing that he could do. He entered the living room of his well-furnished apartment and got a bottle of wine to get drunk.Anthony remembered seeing Lerisa and Remy at the church. How they looked so happy together. His phone rang and staring at the caller, he saw the car dealer calling him."Sell off the car. I don't need it anymore," Anthony said, as he had budgeted to purchase the car. But now that Benita had broken his heart. He thought it was best to sell off the car.He sat on the stool closer to his in the living room. He grabbed a full bottle of wine and stood up from the stool then he walked up to the couch to get wasted.Meanwhile, Lerisa got home to her father's house. She drove into the garage and parked her small red car. Switching off the car engine, she stared at her ring finger and saw the sparkling diamond ring that Remy had worn on her finger.Leirsa was feeling tempted
Lerisa and her mother were the only two people happy in the living room as James left them and returned back to his bedroom."Come, Lerisa. Let's go and prepare some chicken pepper-soup. I cannot wait for the wedding day to be fixed. Don't mind your father. He wants you to sit at home and grow old while waiting for Anthony to notice you," Mrs. Antonia said."Mom, it's because of Daddy's friendship with Mr. Joshua Gregson," Lerisa replied."I know. Let's forget about Anthony and speak about the wedding planning. Have you contacted the wedding planner yet?" Mrs. Antonia asked, as she stood in the living room, staring at Lerisa's face."No, Mom. Remy said that his parents' wedding anniversary is this month. So, we will shift the wedding date until August. I think he has everything in check, and he will let me know when he's ready," Lerisa told her mother."Okay, that's fine. Come join me in the kitchen. I prepared some chicken pepper-soup, as I knew today is a special day," Mrs. Antonia r
"Lerisa, where are you off to?" Mrs. Antonia asked, and Lerisa paused by the living room corridor."Mom, I cannot sit down there and listen to all the things that James said. I told him before that Anthony and Benita were dating. Why would James still go on to date Benita?" Lerisa asked.Mrs. Antonia sighed and replied, "You shouldn't be bothered about Anthony again. James is not at fault here, but the silly lady that allowed herself to be used by multiple men. How are you sure that she's dating only James and Anthony? What if the lady has other boyfriends apart from Anthony and James? You shouldn't be looking sad because of Anthony, so come back here and finish your pepper-soup. You will soon be getting married and all your focus and care should be on your husband and not another man."Lerisa frowned and quickly understood that she had overreacted. She allowed her true emotions to overwhelm the physical realm and now she feels so embarrassed."I am sorry, Mom. I just feel bad that An
Martha saw the engagement ring photo and immediately phoned her older sister."Hello, big sister! Congratulations to you!" Martha was so excited, as she was in her school hostel."Thanks, baby sis. I appreciate," Lerisa smiled. She knew Martha would call."I'm so happy for you. When is your wedding date? And who proposed to you?" Martha inquired."Who else? Remy, of course," Lerisa replied, and Martha laughed, not wanting to raise the topic about Anthony again."That's good news. I will be back home next month end, please shift the wedding date until I'm back. I don't want to miss it," Martha said."I know. Remy said we shouldn't rush the wedding process. I haven't chosen my wedding gown yet, so I will let him know," Lerisa replied."Okay, sister. Wow! I'm so happy! I cannot wait to become a big Aunty soon," Martha squealed."Be calming down. You will soon become an aunt," Lerisa smiled, and Martha wished her all the good luck that comes with becoming married."Take care of yourself,
Meanwhile, Anthony was still at his new home. He didn't feel like returning home to his father's house again. He was still heartbroken and after drinking a lot of wines from the new brands and collection that were refilled in the bar section of his magnificent home.Anthony had gone to his master bedroom to sleep. He was tired, so he decided to stay back and rest.He woke up the next morning with a troubling headache. He remembered all the photos of Benita and the fact that she had also cheated on him.Anthony sighed.He got up from his bed and remembered that he had promised his mother that he would be home the previous night."How come I slept so long?" Anthony frowned, seeing that his room clock was past 10 am.He went to retrieve his phone and saw that he had a lot of missed calls from his mother in particular. She didn't even know where he was living now.Anthony placed a phone call across to his mother. She answered the phone call immediately."Hello, Anthony. Where are you? Tha
Lerisa smiled and turned to face her mother, "Good morning, Mom.""How are you doing?" Mrs. Antonia asked as she stepped into the room. She wore a white nightdress. She smiled as she walked up to her daughter's bed."I'm fine, Mom. I'm going to work," Lerisa replied as she dried her wet body."Let me get my clothes from the wardrobe," Lerisa said as she walked into her closet to search for the dress that she would wear to work.Mrs. Antonia smiled as she wanted to discuss with Lerisa, she desired a private conversation."Okay," She said, waiting for her first daughter to step out."Mom, this one you're sitting here on my bed. I hope there is no problem?" Lerisa asked her mother, as she donned a blue shirt and a black pencil skirt."No problem. Only that I wanted to inform you about what Mrs. Beatrice said yesterday. You know that she's still my friend, and regarding Anthony too."Lerisa frowned as she heard what her mother said. Every time Lerisa heard about Anthony, she's not happy,
Lerisa sat in the dining room waiting for her mother to return from the kitchen. She couldn't believe what her mother had said about her and Anthony being soulmates.“How is Anthony my soulmate?” Lerisa wondered in her mind."Here's your tea," Mrs. Antonia said as she stepped out from the kitchen and served Lerisa her tea."Thanks Mom, has James left the house?" Lerisa asked, as she heard the sound of her father's car starting in the garage."Yes, James left the house earlier, and your dad is going out to meet with a real estate agent. You know he's building a house for rental purposes, that's why he's leaving the house.""Okay." Lerisa quickly drank her tea with her bread. Her mother then reassured her, "You shouldn't worry too much about what I have told you regarding Anthony. I will meet with the pastor. Maybe with more prayers, there will be a solution. Your marriage will be happy and blessed.""Mom" Lerisa sighed. She didn't know what to say."It's all right. I am not going back
Remy sat in his office watching the interviews regarding his fiancée. It was the reason he hadn't proposed to any lady yet. His father is a billionaire, which is the reason he's well-established at a younger age.Remy smiled and went back to his other work. He knew Lerisa was a shy lady, so he didn't bother calling her over to his office. He decided to give her time and for them to see later, maybe after closing hour. He had also discussed the marriage plans with his parents, and they agreed to meet with Lerisa's parents over the weekend to set the wedding date.Lerisa was in her working space when a lady named Kira Jackson entered. A fair-skinned young lady of about 25 years old. She was jealous of Lerisa as she had been working for Remy for three years and hoping he would propose to her. Remy never had a fling with any of his workers. He didn't stare at his staff with hostility either. But what Kira couldn't understand was why Remy didn't ask any of them out. Now, ever since Leri
