She started sobbing. She thought he had a matured mind and could hold the weight of words in them. He came to her that night and apologised for talking without thinking twice and she let go. And he did worse that evening. He embarrassed Stan and made him lose face. He'd apologised to her over and over again only for Craig to jab him with a dagger of words. And she saw his face, he was mad at her and just ended her relationship. A kind of guilt descended on Craig. He glanced at his sister and saw her hugging herself and sobbing out loud. She felt broken and sad. He bowed his head, completely ashamed of himself. “I didn't mean it so, sister. I just wasn't interested in Stan helping us…” he began but Sophia interrupted him sharply. She carefully stood up and glared at Craig “I took you in because I thought you were my brother. I promised to be responsible for you throughout your studies, because I thought you were my family. How could I have forgotten that yo
Sophia was surprised at Craig's outburst. How can he say he shouldn't be involved in helping them out? Who doesn't need the help of others in this life? She turned and saw Craig glaring at Stan. And so far that she had known Stan, he is a man with two sides. Whichever one you provoke in him, you'll find it, he'll give you a full measure of it. And now, that he'd only seen the friendly side of Stan, he'd better not ruin it. “May I know why you want me to step aside?” Stan asked, still maintaining that composed expression. He was dressed in his expensive suit and shoes. He should have been home, but he was still in them because of Sophia. “I don't want you anywhere around my family. Seeing you annoys me. So I humbly ask that you stay away from us please” Craig snapped at him and turned to his sister “I don't want Stan Asher interfering please” “What is come over you, Craig? If you have issues with him, then speak up otherwise, you can't tell me that. If he want
He saw her car parked just in front of the gate. He couldn't get in. It's Benny's car and he sighed softly. He is happy, he doesn't want to have any confrontation that would ruin his mood. And Benny will be hell-bent on doing that if he stepped out of the car. He honked the car and the guards stepped out. If they opened the door, Benny would drive in before Dekunle could. And refusing to open the gate, implied that Dekunle himself would remain outside. Dekunle beckoned to one of the guards, he got closer and said “Keep the gate locked. Ensure you double check the doors in the front and back door of the house.Goodnight” he concluded. Benny was feeling excited. If Dekunle thinks he could fling her off so easily, then she's not Anderson's daughter. If he thinks he is stubborn, she has her own share of stubbornness. He can't just deny her access into her own home. They either drove in together or they remained outside. She was smart to make this decision. Sh
Sophia smiled and after the award was over, fans were eager to see them all and take photographs together. It was quick but Sophia already got her fans already. How can anyone be a fan of Wayne Lisa and not immediately become Sophia Shawn's fan? Sophia looked around for Wayne Lisa but she'd left. She came to cheer her up and clear any misunderstanding her fans might have about Sophia. She'd done it and already left when nobody was watching, she was so careful. Mag came forward and hugged Sophia and Louise did the same thing. They took some photographs and Claire held Dekunle's hand “come over” and went towards Sophia. She's really crowded with her new fans and some were requesting for an autograph. Dekunle was reluctant despite being excited. He didn't know what Sophia thought of him and he was dragging his feet. Claire knew that too but held hands with him towards Sophia. “Congratulations Sophia, You're the best in this movie and I looked forward to watching
Claire nodded, she already saw the posters and billboards with the name Sophia Shawn and she could recognise the face on the billboard when she came before her. But she never expected her to be so stunning, so beautiful that truly, she is like Wayne Lisa. She glanced at Dekunle and saw how excited he was. Who wouldn't want such a beautiful woman as his daughter. She is the spitting image of Benny, her mother but her height, calmness and eyes were Dekunle's. “I feel like walking over and holding her in an embrace…” Dekunle blurted out his thoughts. He quickly held himself back but it was too late, the words had slipped out of his mouth. But he truly wants the world to know that Sophia Shawn is his daughter. He'd seen Mag and her husband a while ago. And she'd answered the journalists that she was there because her daughter Sophia Shawn was among the cast in the movie. Even if there's an opportunity for parents to stand side by side with their kids, he cannot stand a
At quarter past six, Dekunle arrived at Claire's house. He parked his car and called her. Soon the tall slim figure of Claire approached the car. She slipped in and Dekunle said hi. If it were their younger days, he would have showered her with compliments but now he simply said “you look good” and started the ignition. “Thank you” Claire appreciated. She glanced at herself and said “I didn't expect that the dress would look so good on me. Brian forced me to put it on” she chimed. Silly boy, he treats her like a girlfriend. She'd already told him to get himself a good girl and get them both introduced to each other. “Oh, Brian is home, why didn't you tell him to come over to say hi to me?” Dekunle asked, casting a side glance at Claire briefly. He'd only met the boy about two or three times since he was born. He also would have grown into a young man now. “He'd disappeared into his room again, working on his thesis. Sorry about that” Claire apologised. How coul
