"This is an engagement ring! Are you planning on getting a spouse soon Carlos? Wait, were you going to have a secret wedding without your mother in it?" Gina asked more clearly, she arched an eyebrow while waiting for her son to maybe deny it. She gawked at her son's face keenly waiting for him to speak but Instead, he let out a buff. Gina suddenly felt fear flow all over her body. What if her son had really gone far as marrying that human girl? "It seems like you have gone mute all of a sudden which seems odd and dubious. One of the workers found this in your clothes, what do you have to say, Carlos?" Gina asked yet again. Carlos blinked his eyes before taking a huge breath. "Well, that's not mine mother, I was just helping a friend get it! He was going to surprise his girlfriend. He had asked them to deliver the ring to me on his behalf which I accepted." Carlos said with a small smile. "So, you are not getting married? At least without my consent, right?" Gina asked with a slight

Miriam had just gotten to the office, she could notice the different stares that she got from people in the office. Few of them were clustered around gossiping while they glanced at her direction! Miriam didn't need anyone to tell her that they were actually gossiping about her which was ridiculous and that made her very much uncomfortable. She hurriedly tried to make it to her table but things became more irritating because her coworkers stood opposite her desk in the office as they shamelessly gossiped about her. Miriam tried her best to ignore them but they kept talking and staring at her. "I heard someone in the office seduced the boss by getting into his pants and right now they plan on getting married!" One of the ladies said to the other who was busy typing away on the computer in front of her. "Do you know who the person is?" The lady who was typing asked. "Not really but I also heard that she wasn't qualified for the job but because she seduced him, she was hired." Miriam

It was already dark when Carlos's car pulled up in front of Miriam's residence. She was outside taking out her laundry from the lines to take inside the house when he briskly got out of the car before running in her direction. "Miriam?" He called as she turned to stare at him with a scowl masked on her face. She carried the basket of clothes to leave but he was fast to stop her."Miriam, I know that my mother had spoken to you!" He said as she stood stagnant while staring at him. "You know what Carlos? I can't believe that you still haven't told her about us." Miriam spoke. "I'm sorry!" He simply said. "I seriously understand why you did that, I know that your mother doesn't like or approve of me. I mean, how can you possibly present me as your Fiance to her when you aren't even proud of me Carlos." Miriam said before shrugging dismissively."I swear that I wasn't even thinking of that, I was only just waiting for the perfect time to tell her the truth about us!" Carlos said and M

It was late evening and the thunder was bringing in lightning and making loud noises. Soon enough, it began to rain heavily. Miriam had trudged to her son's room to check if his windows were closed but became shaken when she saw him sobbing and scattering pieces of papers all over the floor. "Henry, what's wrong?" Miriam asked all caring as she sat beside her son. "Why are you doing this mummy? I thought you said you loved my uncle Carlos? He said to me that he wants to be our family but you seem to be pushing him away, why don't you like him anymore?" He asked in a weep and cracked voice while his collarbones kept popping up. Miriam's hands slowly caressed her son's shoulder. "Henry, I know how much you love him and I know how much it hurts so much but we need to avoid him now!" Miriam said yet again. "Why, don't you love him anymore? How come he loves you very much?" Henry asked with red and swollen eyes"Common Henry, of course, I love him too but I love you more because you ar

Gina was sitting on the expensive and well-decorated dining chairs while deep in thought, she glared at the variety of food in front of her lostfully. "Madame," The uniformly dressed maid uttered, placing the cup of milk on the table beside Gina. "What's wrong with you? I never asked for milk, rather I asked for juice." Gina yelled before shoving the whole content away. "Clean this mess and get out from my face!" Gina blurted out. "I'm so sorry!" The maid said before leaving but that only ignited a memory. "I said get back to work! You all should work when I give you instructions. You all are stupid robots." Gina yelled at her maid in annoyance."Mother, that's enough okay? You are getting a wrinkle on your face right now if you don't smile." Carlos teased as a smile soon flashed on her face. "Oh Carlos, it's honestly hard to deal with this housemaid but it's a good thing that you are here with me because I feel relieved right now," Gina said to her son before adjusting his hair
