The Walters' Mansion
A maid rushed in towards the elegant woman who was sitting in the living room and said respectfully but excitedly
"Madam, Miss Sophie is back!"
The elegant woman blanked out for a while and looked lost. She turned and asked the maid again,
"Sophie is back?"
"Yes, madam! She is just outside and about to come in" The maid confirmed.
The woman stood up agitatedly and rushed towards the door but before she got to the door, an excited and sweet looking girl ram towards her and screamed,
"Mooom!" The girl hugged the woman who was Mrs Walters, Justin's and Sophie's mom warmly and twirled around. "I missed you soooo much, mom"
Mrs Walters gently and dotingly stroked Sophie's hair as her tears threatened to spill out. After turning 25, Sophie had moved out of the house saying she wanted to open up her own business and also experience life abroad. She and Justin had tried to stop her but although Selena was really cute and sweet looking, she was also very stubborn like her father.
She constantly worried about her and would always find time to visit her during the first year she moved out but who knew what came over the girl because from the second year, she didn't allow anyone to come over saying that she would come home herself when she made progress in her career.
And somehow she did, Sophie was now a reknown fashion designer both home and abroad.
It came as a surprise when she received her call a month ago telling her she was coming back home and also would be introducing her fiancé. With her coming back, Mrs Walters could feel the hole in her heart filling up.
Both women were so engrossed in the reunion that they did not initially notice a very handsome and gentle looking man looking gently and dotingly at the girl. Mrs Walters was the first person to notice him so she disengaged from the hug and politely asked the man though she already had a guess in her heart.
"You are...."
Sophie turned around curiously to look at the person her mom was talking to. She widened her eyes dramatically and slapped her forehead as she ran towards the man,
"Darling, I am so sorry. I completely forgot about you when I met my mom"
The man mouth twitched a little thinking, ' You should have said that tactfully. How can you say you completely forgot about me?'
Sophie turned to her mother and introduced him happily,
"Mom, this is my fiancé, Brian Coleman. He is the CEO of Worldview Software."
Mrs Walters had heard of Worldview Software. They became hot 5 years ago and had won many awards for the softwares designed by the company. She had never expected the CEO to be so young and for him to end up being her future son-in-law.
"Nice meeting you, Mr. Coleman"
Brian chuckled good-naturedly and said gently to her,
"Just Brian, calling me Mr. Coleman makes me sound distant and old".
Mrs Walters looked amused at his words and agreed in a heartbeat.
"Alright, Brian and you can call me mom" Permitting him to call her mom meant she was satisfied with him as her son-in-law.
Brian also understood the hidden meaning and replied more sincerely,
"Okay, mom"
"But..." Mrs Walters turned to look at him seriously for a minute and continued,"...If you dare to hurt her in any way. You are going to regret it"
Seeing how the situation turned serious, Sophie quickly cut in and went to cutely hold her mom's arm.
" Mom, don't worry about it. He can't bear to hurt me. He has been the one helping me abroad all this while."
"Yes mom, I can't bear to hurt her since I will also be hurt too"Brian assured her.
Mrs Walters nodded her head satisfied at his answer.
"But mom, where is my brother? Is he not at home?"
Brian also looked curious at the answer. His brother-in-law was someone he admired and looked forward to meeting. After taking over his family business, he had brought it to new heights in ten years, something many found hard to do.
Mrs Walters sighed helplessly and replied,
"Since he and Nina...."
Sophie cut in excitedly asking,
"And Nina. Where is she? I miss her"
"They..." Mrs Walters continued but was interrupted by her, again.
"Mom, how about we call them both and celebrate together? Me and brother now have a partner. Maybe we could also have a double wedding! So double happiness! what do you say?" She suggested excitedly.
Mrs Walters' mind turned quickly, she remembered she had been looking for an excuse to invite Nina home but she couldn't come up with one as they all seemed fake but now a perfect excuse was here.
Her lips curled up slyly as she replied normally,
"Okay, what about you call Nina and I call Justin?"
Sophie didn't think much about her mother's day tone and agreed immediately.
Mrs Walters eyes twinkled with laughter, 'Silly child!' she thought.
Brian looked at his fianceé who didn't know she had been sold out by her mother and shook his head helplessly.
'But I can't help thinking if the Nina they meant is the one I am thinking.' he thought to himself but he shook his head 'What are the odds of that?"
"Let's go and have a seat in the living room before giving her a call", Mrs Walters suggested.
"Okay, mom"
Thanks to my beloved readers! Muah!
Nina's and Selena's apartment The abrupt ringing of a cell phone sounded in the living room. Selena who was busy watching a K-drama turned to check if it was her phone ringing. When she realised it was not hers but Nina's, she raised her voice towards the kitchen and called out, "Nina, you have a call!" Nina shouted from the kitchen asking who it was. Selena went to pick up the phone but paused when she saw the caller ID. Realising there was no response after a while, Nina walked out from the kitchen and looked towards Selena who was behaving weirdly
Nina and Selena were the one who arrived first at the Walters' mansion. The maid excitedly brought them inside the house. "Madam, miss Nina and miss Selena is here", She announced happily the moment they were at the door. "Nina is here?" Sophie's excited voice asked from the living room. Before Nina could even make sense if what is happening, she came barreling towards her and hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much!" Nina looked helplessly at Selena who also shrugged indifferently. Her expression which seemed to say, 'Its your problem, not mine' Nina turned to look at the woman in her arms who still can't stop acting like a child and said helpl
"Your sister?" Justin asked incredulously. "Yes, Nina and Selena are my sworn sisters. We came from the same orphanage but we are closer than real brothers and sisters anyway." Brian replied calmly. "Seems like she didn't tell you. You are not that close after all." He sounded happy at the end. Justin turned to look at Nina and asked incredulously, "You didn't cheat?" Selena rolled her eyes at him and said furiously, "Of course, little darling would never cheat. I was the one who came up with that plan to mislead you to think she cheated. She only agreed because of how much she was hurt. YOU are the one who cheated, not her!"
Three months had gone by in a blink of an eye since Nina started living with the Walters. She was now six months along, her stomach had swollen to a considerable size although she still looked almost the same. The difference was only in her bosom which were obviously fuller, swollen stomach and waist that had gotten thicker. After vomiting for the third time that morning, she weakly trudged to the living room and plopped down under the watchful eyes of Selena and Sophie. "How do you feel now?" Selena asked worriedly. "Terrible. There is nothing in my stomach so I have been vomiting bile. Ah! being pregnant is such a chore" "It must be the baby. Do
Walters Mansion It was already afternoon when the ringtone of a phone broke the peaceful atmosphere in the living room. "Nina, it seems like it's your phone ringing", Selena looked up from the TV series she was watching and pointed Nina's cell phone on the couch. Nina's head snapped up from the TV series, impatience clear on her face. She snatched up the phone and looked at the caller only to see it was an unsaved number. "Who is it?", Sophie asked curiously. "I don't know. It is an unsaved number." "Answer it, darling. It might be important", Mrs Walters pointed out. &nb
An hour later, a black Lamborghini made his way to the entrance of the mansion. Donning dark shades, a very handsome and gentle-looking man wearing a casual white shirt, dark pants, and leather shoes stepped elegantly out of the car. Nina, who had heard the sound and guessed who it was, came out with the other curious women just in time to see him close the door. Selena and Nina were beyond shocked to see the man in front of them, His jet black hair was cropped short exposing his seductive brown eyes, he had a friendly smile on his face as he looked towards them and opened his mouth, a mellow voice capable of seducing anyone with weak will flowed out. “Are you that shocked to see me, love?”, He chuckled good-natured as he admired the shocked look on their faces.
Selena looked curiously at him, probably questioning what made him act out of character, before answering coolly, “She went out about half an hour before you came in” “Went out? Where did she go?”, He asked, the surprise evident in his voice, as he wasn't expecting the answer he got. “Her friend came, and he took her for a drive. He was a really handsome one!”, Sophie replied provokingly. “Her friend? Was it Charlie?”, He asked turning to Selena as Nina's agent and CEO of her company, Charlie was the only male friend he could think of close enough to bring her out for a drive. “No, it wasn't Charlie. It was Ty”. Color drained from Justin
Nina woke up to the sensation of someone touching her face gently. Her heart skipped a beat as she dazedly thought to herself, 'Could it possibly be Jay?', She was about to experimentally open her eyes when she heard him whisper in her ears. "You are mine now.... Mine... Just mine!", He whispered with obsession as he caressed her face adoringly. She was startled at the voice and If she wasn't afraid of being found out, her face would have shown the deep shock she felt in her heart! 'It was Tyson!', and if she wasn't mistaken she heard obsession in his tone. Yes, it was obsession! Then it all came back to her; his call to her and then he came over to pick her up. They later went on a leisurely drive while eng
