LOGINI hesitated to call Liam back,I did not know what to say .What is I am just overthinking?I took my phone and said to myself 'If I perish I perish'.I called Liam back.
He asked me if I was okay and if everything was fine.He then told me he had missed me and he loved me.My heart beat slowed down.After the called I packed my handbag and left my office,I went straight to the hotel to see Mila. I found her sitting at the corner,just next to the mirror,she had not ordered yet.She was pressing her phone.I went closer,she had not noticed me.I spoke"You wanted to see me?"She looked up fast as if she was shocked,I saw it in her eyes. "Chelsea,"she said slowly "you came" "What was that you wanted to tell me?"I asked as I sat down. "Chelsea,I don't know where to start from but I am sorry,I know it will be hard for you to forgive me and I know you would have never done that to me but I am so sorry,I am ready to make it upto you no matter what just please forgive me." I looked up at her,she had made my company collapse,she betrayed me just for money,and she wants me to forgive her?That was unforgivable I looked at her,her eyes were flooded with tears. This was the same girl I had vowed to protect with my life.The same girl I had stayed with at her worst .My heart was bitter but for her forgiveness was easy.I looked at her again."It's okay."I found my self speaking "how has life been?" "Hard Chelsea,very hard."I knew her pain,I knew it was veehan who was stressing her up, I did not want to ask so I tried to change the subject."What about work?"I asked fast."Work is okay,can we order am starving."she replied. She was still pretty.She was still that girl I wanted to keep all my life.She was dark with long hair pretty eyes and dimples so deep they even showed without a smile. We talked about alot of things that day,laughed and even promised to be there for each other like we once were.But deep down I knew something she did not I knew pleasure that would hurt her.I had committed a sin worse than betrayal for money. The day was long.I left Mila at the hotel and left for home .Before I could start the car, I remembered everything I had done with Veehan.What if she finds out.I shouldn't have forgiven her. I felt like the bad friend,but I comforted myself'She started it'and I drove back home knowing my best friend's man was there waiting for me and saying no to him would be very very hard.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
I looked at them and more tears came out of me.I know alot would change after that.The respect they gave to both Liam and I,the love they gave,I knew it was all going to fade away,but I had already started it, going back was not an option. "It was all a mistake,I did not want it to be this way,I only made a mistake once,and I did not want to think about abortion,you deserved to live,you deserved all the good life had to give I am sorry." "You mean you have been lying to dad?"Sky said.She then continued,"I cannot believe you of all people would do this.Mom,how did you even..."I stopped her."Stop Sky"She stopped talking and left the room. My heart became heavy,I could not stop showing how her reaction was hurting me,but I know I deserved it, every bit of it, every reaction,she was human,I could not judge her.I then turned,I saw Scar sitting next to me,he looked half confused half concerned. There was an awkward silence,then he spoke."It's okay mom,as I told you before,I am always
That night I called my two kids,I wanted to tell them everything, I would have,once they were 18.I knew it would be hard to let them know the person they have been calling there father all there lifes is not their real father. I hugged them tightly,they were very concerned,they knew something was wrong.I let them go and immediately I looked at them,I smiled slowly and tears came out. Sky was very concerned,she held my hand tightly and did not say anything,Scar looked at me and I saw the pain in his eyes then he asked."Mommy ,what is wrong.I wondered how I would start telling them. Then Sky said,"It's okay mom,you can tell us anything,we are your children and you are our mother.We would never judge you,right now,we are old enough to share your problems." I looked at her and took a deep breath,I knew she was just saying that,once she knows what am about to say she would not be happy with me at all. "I have something to tell you but promise me,you will not tell anybody,and I mea
