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
Stan chuckled and said “they can't, I'm being careful here. Just take care of yourself, I'll see you tomorrow” he said and hung up. He misses her and he's happy that she missed him too. Sophia smiled and kept her phone away. Things will become alright between them henceforth. She's glad that finally, things went well and they're together as Amil's parents and as lovers. The next morning, Sophia decided to visit her Aunt. She would appreciate her for standing by her all these while and present her with the free tickets for the premier. Only she stood in the place of a mother for her. Louis was pleased and he hugged Sophia “now I am convinced that you are not an ingrate. I have activities slated for tomorrow but I promise to push everything aside and come to cheer you on my child” he promised. “That’s so kind of you,uncle. Thankfully so much sir” Sophia appreciated. Leaving his activities because of her was worth being appreciated. “How's Amil doin
Kabir probably couldn't bear the pain of her betrayal. He was her boyfriend or probably fiance and she slept with someone else. He'd always misunderstood what happened. He thought Kabir got attracted to Diana and cheated on his sister with that evil spot on his parents bloodline. Perhaps Kabir simply did a ‘pay back’ act and he ended up with Diana. And that incident led to the birth of a child. Which man would take it that his fiance is involved with someone else and had a child together with him? “Are you going to blame me for a mistake that I fell victim to? Diana drugged me during my engagement party with Kabir. Stan was not in any way better. I swear I didn't premeditated it. But anyways, everyone has always blamed me for that incident that happened. Kabir blamed me, my supposed parents did worse than him and I was left alone in the cold. It's no surprise that even today, I'm still to be blamed. You can go on, say whatever you want, the truth never feels a
She fixed her gaze on Dekunle. He can't possibly love a foster daughter so much than he yearns for her more than he does to his biological daughter. Dekunle glanced briefly and chuckled "You've really been away for too long Claire that you don't know Sophia. My daughter Sophia Shawn was born the same day as Diana. She's the real daughter, the biological one and we later discovered that we brought Diana home with us by mistake ....” Dekunle explained. “Wait, Diana isn't your daughter all along? Your daughter was left behind and Benny returned with the wrong child?” Claire repeated and Dekunle nodded. “Holy virgin Mary” Claire exclaimed and was quiet for a while. No wonder he wants her back. She'd been away from them all her life and perhaps, Sophia refuses to acknowledge them as her parents. This isn't any one's fault. It's called fate. “She hadn't really experienced her parents' love. But something else happened. She fell apart with her fiance having b
He helplessly sighed. He knew Benny's personality and he endured it. Her outburst, her quick senseless decision like disowning Sophia so quickly and all of that, he tolerated it. Disrespecting him privately and behind the doors of their bedroom was also endured. But doing it so loud before Diana was what got him pissed up. How can he have no regard before his wife and his supposed daughter? And now, it has extended to his employees and old friends like Claire. What kind of a man or husband is he? He can't even bring his wife to order and wants to pilot the affairs of a company? Because of her, Sophia is not his daughter anymore. How can he see his own daughter acknowledge someone else as her father while he was still alive? All that matters to her is Diana. After knowing what she did to Sophia, she still fights and brings that vicious woman to her side. It's not surprising, her personality robs off on Diana and her upbri
