"Look here Veehan,it's time you leave my house."I said not ready to negotiate,I wanted him out.Out of my house,out of life life,out of Liam's life and if possible out of my daughter's life."But mom..."Sky tried to change my mind. "Quiet!"I realized I was a little to loud to her after I yelled.She was getting to my nerves,maybe she deserved that."I have had it Sky,he leaves,NOW!"Veehan seemed to understand how serious I was about him leaving,yet he still decided to test my nerves. "Do you really want to deny her a chance to spend time with her father?"He said boldly,like he knew exactly what he was doing.I looked at him,mad. I showed him the envelope that was in my hands."What is this?"I looked at him directly asking the question. He remained silent,like h
I was cleaning my kitchen after dinner.I had alot going on on my mind but I still noticed Liam was a little exited on this day, suddenly somebody knocked the door.I was shocked since I was not expecting anyone. Liam rushed to the door,like he knew exactly what was happening.Like he knew exactly who he was expecting.He opened the door and I peeped to see who it was.I wish I had not,I stood at the kitchen holding the kitchen towel tighter,It was Veehan,what was he doing here,he had no right to be here. Just when I thought it could not get any worse,it did.Sky came out of her room, running down the stairs like she did not mind falling."Dad where is my..." she was cut short by Veehan's presence. I watched as my daughter walked past me and Liam.She went straight to Veehan.She huged him tight.I looked away when I saw Liam looking at me.He knew how to read me from my eyes,I did not want him to add things up. Veehan hesitates but he hugs her back.I try to swallow the pain but it is ve
Days went by.My life still felt like a mess.i kept on thinking of Veehan's words kept ringing in my head."I will destroy the lie that you built and I will destroy it along with your marriage."I heard him over and over again in my imagination and even in my dreams. I never stopped showing up for my kids though.I made sure to be there for them.Even though it was very hard to be there for sky since she kept pushing me away. Then one day, everything changed.I had gone to pick up my babies from school.I always went to school earlier than their breaking time.It was my norm.I did not want my babies to wait too much. I waited patiently in my car as I listened to podcasts about how to make business better,then the bell rang.I looked out my car and what I saw made my heart skip a beat.Veehan!what was he doing in Sky and Scar's school.I knew he was upto something. Of course he was upto something and it was not good.Then I saw my two babies.They were together,Sky saw my car then her smile
Liam comes back,no emotion is on his face but he showers,tells me goodbye and leaves.I sit there and think of a solution,I decide I am fed up.I am tired of living scared in my own home.I picks up my phone and callbVeehan.I ask for a meet up at a cafe in town.Vee does not think,he says okay.Atleast I knew Liam had not gone to meet Veehan. Went I went downstairs,I found my kids already gone.Liam had taken them to school,all of them.Rose went to a different school from the twins.I wondered how Liam could manage to get them both to school. I left the house immediately and headed to the cafe.Vee was already there.I walked like a boss,this time I was not scared,I went straight to Vee and sat on a chair directly infront of him. He looked at me,he saw I came for serious business."Are you ready to give me back my children?"Vee asked boldly.I reached for my bag,took out a brown envelope,slid it to him."Seven million,take and leave my life for good."I said expecting him to comply.Vee smil
Vee stood up and left, leaving me there.I had not touched my drink,but I did not even have the appetite for that.I stood and left too,almost immediately after him.I got into my car,still deep in thoughts."Was this the end of me?What would Liam do if he ever finds out?" I turned on my car.As I drove home,my hands were shaking.I held my steering wheel tighter.What did he mean,"Take matters into his own hands?""Does he want to take my kids by force?" The thought of me living without my kids made my chest heavy.My palms were now sweaty,I could not even see the road clearly.I suddenly started remembering everything ,the way I Liam was always by Sky when she was sick,the way Scar and him played in the pool.What will he do if he finds out they are not his children? I could not help my tears,my head was bursting,I never imagined I could make myself this anxious.My breathing became slow.I stopped outside my gate without hooting.I wiped my tears,I did not want Liam to see me sad,I did not
I rushed to my room,I was not in the mood to talk to anyone.Was she just saying that or I had just turned into a rival to my daughter,my love.My emotions were not quite understandable even to myself at that moment.Why exactly would she say hate,was there something I was not doing right? I sat there, confused,mute.Then I heard gentle footsteps walk towards me. I did not look up but immediately I felt a touch,I knew it was Scar.He was gentle,even before he could speak,I already felt his encouragement,I felt him say "I will always be here,"even before he said it literally. Then he hugged me.Tight but gentle.I could not help but cry,they were mixed tears.Those tears carried confusion,sadness,love and trust.Trust for Scar,I wanted to feel "Atleast I have someone but Sky was as important. "I know you heard what she said,she does not mean it.She is just confused,you know girls,you are one of them.She will come around give her time to settle first,give her time to think,she loves you.You
