Chapter Two

Five Years Later

A lot has occurred during this five year period.

Sarah, Abigail’s mother had her surgery and it was successful.

Few weeks after Sarah recovered, Abigail applied for and was admitted into a public university where she studied Business Administration. She believed with the degree, she would be able to get a good job that paid well. That way, she would be able to provide for her twins.

Abby almost went crazy when the doctor broke the news to her that she was expecting twins. She was furious as to how she would cope with two babies. But with the help of her mother, She was able to cope. Her mum helped her through her morning sickness, kept up with her mood swings and cravings.

Sometimes, Abigail wished Liam was there for her and the babies. In as much as she wouldn't want to admit it, She missed him terribly even though he treated her badly. She also missed everyone in the Williams household, most especially Anna, Liam’s younger sister. They used to be very close when she was working for them.

Abigail started her university program when she was three months pregnant. Her house wasn’t far from school so there was no need for renting an apartment.

During her uni days, She was always on her own. Besides the fact that she was kind of shy, Abigail also felt that no one would want to associate with a pregnant fresher so she decided to keep to herself.

But as time went by, Abigail made a friend, Bella. She was glad Bella understood her situation at that time and never judged her. Bella introduced Abigail to her parents and they accepted Abigail as their daughter. Bella’s parents were not that rich but they were comfortable.

Bella assisted Abigail in Uni countless times. She covered up for her in school when she fell sick and couldn’t make it for lectures. Bella would take notes for Abigail and sign her name for her on the attendance register and even forge Abby's signature where she was to sign.

Then after class, she would go straight to Abigail’s house, give her the notes, explain to her and fill her up with everything that happened in class. Abigail felt so blessed to have a friend like Bella.

Abigail was able to go through her painful labour with the help of her mum, Bella and of course Bella’s mother. She gave birth to an adorable set of twins at the General Hospital in her hometown. A boy and a girl. Lawrence Earl Williams 6 pounds 5 ounces and Lenora Elsie Williams 6 pounds 2 ounces.

Abigail loved the name 'Earl.' Her baby boy was her Warrior. Lawrence was given birth to with some complications which made them stay in the hospital for a few more days. She was afraid she was going to lose him but he proved her wrong.

It has not been easy taking care of the twins but her mum, Bella and Bella’s mum were always there to help.

Few months after the birth of her twins, Abigail and Bella took a part-time job at a restaurant together. Abigail's pay was used for her family's welfare while Bella was saving up for her masters.

The two best friends graduated with a first-class degree in Business Administration earlier this year. A month after graduation, Bella went Abroad for her masters.

Abigail, on the other hand, couldn’t afford a masters degree now. Her babies were her number one priority. She wanted to get a job so as to be able to provide for them.

After searching online for any Vacancy, Abby finally found a position she could manage which was 'Secretary' to the CEO of Damon Inc.

It was a well-known cooperation in the United Kingdom and it comes with lots of benefits too.  Abigail prayed she got the position because being a secretary to Damon who was the CEO would mean a lot.

She could learn a lot from him and she was sure as hell that if she happened to resign over there, she wouldn't have to struggle for another job because of the good reference she would get from Damon Inc.

So here she was, back in the city of London, the place that brought back so many memories. She hoped and prayed not to bump into any of the Williams, most especially Liam.

Abigail couldn’t afford a flight from Buxton town to London so she took a bus instead. She didn’t care if the bus took longer than a flight would take. That was why she left her home town earlier to meet up with the date of her interview. She wasn’t even sure she would be hired so why wasting her coins for a flight ticket?

When Abigail arrived at the hotel, She was very tired so she decided to take a shower and get ready for her interview the next day.

After sorting her outfit for the interview, She remembered she hadn’t called her mum which she did immediately. She reached for her phone in her bag and dialled Sarah Delaney.

After three rings, Sarah answered.

"Hi mum" She greeted cheerfully, taking a seat on the edge of the hotel bed.

“Hello, darling! How was your trip? hope you are not too exhausted?”

“No mum, I'm fine.”

Before she could even ask about her babies, She heard Lawrence voice in the background. He was singing one of his rhymes. She smiled at that. She could not deny that having her twins were the best things that had ever happened to her. To her, that night with Liam was never a mistake.

“How's Lawrence and Lenora?” Abigail asked.

“They are fine, dear. They miss you a lot. Lenora is asleep but Lawrence is still awake.” Abigail smiled at that. That was so Lawrence, he never goes to bed on time.

“Lawrence darling, Come and say hi to mummy,” Sarah said to the little boy.

“Mummy!!!” Lawrence smiled. He kept aside the toy he was playing with and headed towards his grandma. He collected the phone from her.

“Hello honey,” Abigail said from the other side.

“Hi mama,” Lawrence said in his adorable voice. Abigail smiled at that. Her babies would be turning five soon.

“How are you, my love?” Abigail asked with a smile on her face.

“Fine mummy. Grandma took us to the park today and I made new friends.”

“That’s good dear. Hope you enjoyed yourself?” She asked even though she could tell from his voice that he enjoyed himself.

“Yes mama, I did. I miss you so much. Please come back soon.” Lawrence said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

“I'm only going to be here for a few days. I will be back before you know it. I promise. ” She assured him.

“Okay. Love you, mummy.” Lawrence said.

“I love you more sweetie. Be good to Grandma and give your sister a kiss for me, okay?”

“Okay mummy. Goodnight.” Lawrence said and passed the phone back to his grandma.

Abigail and Sarah talked a bit more and she promised to call the next day after her interview.

After the call, Abigail went straight to bed, hoping everything goes well tomorrow.

Sarah, on the other hand, gave her grandson a bath and put him to bed. Of course, that was after he gave his sister the kiss his mum told him to give her.
