Becky was on the verge of exploding, she couldn't believe what had happened at the pool minutes ago, all that interested Azariah was to carry his daughter away, leaving her alone standing there. Yes, what more could he explain about that? nothing, absolutely nothing at all. The only thing that interests him the most is the fact that he has to take care of his daughter. Well, that urge is normal, and Becky understands it the most. She also notes the fact that her presence in the house is no longer needed, and although she feels feverish, she has to support herself in leaving this toxic environment, that is the only thing she has left. Her ribs had started to hurt her already, and knowing that she has forgotten her drugs back at home only terrifies her, nothing can give her heartaches more than that, it pisses her off so much. Arranging her small bag which is still wet from the fact that she had stayed under the rain for too long, she decides to leave. But then,

Logan's heart was tripping already, he is grown up enough to know when his father is about to lose his patience, and when t act fast. Well, it seems like he has forgotten it too soon to take the concrete actions to what he needed to say out of trouble. "Father, I didn't do anything," Logan lied. This was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Azariah was so damn done having a liar for a child, besides, at seven, he wants to be a professional liar. What then will he be at ten? who knows, maybe he might graduate into a thief. Thinking about how he might end up with a liar and son as his son, Azariah's blood boiled within him. Only thinking about it made a pang of a headache strike Azariah. He had not expected this to happen to him, not at all, and as his face grew red and hot, he knew that he has to do something with his life, and the earlier he does so, the better it will be for him. In anger, Azariah walked towards his bookshelves. Hi

"You beast, how dare you show this kind of an image in front of your son? like seriously? now I tell you if you want someone to give the remaining strokes to, here am I, hit me. Where are you beating him on his backside? here is mine, hit me, I wouldn't do anything, but let the little boy go," Becky yelled out facing Azariah deeply in the eyes. She meant every word that left her mouth, it was so damn serious and as she expected the man to get angry and release his anger on her, she walked towards the pole. Before she finally left, Becky suddenly halted when Azariah's hand wrapped gently around Becky's wrist. As she twirled around to face Azariah, his emerald eyes were dark, and it was clearly evident that he was happy with her. How will he be glad for Becky after she just slapped him a while ago? Several questions filled in Azariah's mind, it was kind of bizarre because Becky was just being bossy as if she was his boss. "Let go of me," Bec

Becky was so confused, she didn't want to say otherwise, and as she looked at the boy standing in front of her, she was kind of frustrated. As his words had touched her heart so much, she grabbed him in a heartfelt embrace. Azariah stood there unable to say anything. He was kind of confused at first, staring at the lady in the room, he didn't believe his eyes. Well, not that he doesn't trust Becky, just that he didn't know that he lacks that connection with his son so much that he prefers to confide in a total stranger than in him. "I want you to do something for me please," Becky muttered staring at Logan with wide eyes. At first, she didn't think that Logan will comply with him so fast, but when he nodded his head while whispering sweetly, "I will do anything for you," Becky's heart melted at once. She saw a sprint of hope painted in her eyes, it was like nothing she has ever known before, more like a dream come true, so she b

Azariah walked towards Becky, he gently lifted her chin in his arms. Her small chin fitted partially in his arm and although it was kind of embarrassing, he didn't do anything about it and cocking it positively in his arms, he lifted it to meet his emerald eyes. He had acknowledged the fact that this lady has suddenly squeezed a big part of her life in his own, and it was strange yet uncomfortable. He thought that his mind would explode now that she has suddenly materialized herself from somewhere. At first, it is not always as easy as she had planned it, but then, he has a long way to go, and he is going to see that happen with this lady by his side. To Azariah, part of his troubled mind thought that it was Becky whom he had been waiting for all this while, but then, why did he have to marry over four times since his wife died before he has to stumble on this lady. Well, it is the lady that had met him, that is even something that strikes the hell out of him.&
