Isabella liked Richard. It was effortless to fall for someone who was kind to her plus the added advantage of being handsome.But in any case, her ex-husband was also very good to her at the beginning of their relationship before he changed after the birth of their daughter, and seeing Richard doing the same now, she was afraid that things were going to turn upside down.It didn’t necessarily mean he would cheat on her, but given their connection through her previous marriage, it was hard to see them going far with this new relationship he wanted.Regardless, Bella found herself being unable to say ‘no’ to him. Somehow, it might be because she secretly liked him, or because of her friends bugging her to give him a child or probably because of her daughter who seemed to love him as much.A deep sigh fell through Bella’s lips as she glanced at their intertwined fingers. She stole a glance at Isla and saw how glued her eyes were on the screen of her phone before shifting her gaze bac

Bella was not willing to divulge one bit of the details regarding her date with Richard the previous night yet.Her friends tried all they could by teasing and drilling her with questions but she remained mute for as long as she wanted. And they all ended up helping her to do one thing or the other in her home since it was a Saturday.One helped her to cook lunch and dinner. The second one spent time with Isla by helping her do her assignments and play games with her while the last one helped with the laundry.By the time it had clocked 11 AM on the clock, Caro started serving the tacos she had just made before calling everyone to the dining area.As for Isla, she was given one from it with healthy snacks and was left in the living room to watch her cartoons. But all eyes kept drifting to that toddler just in case she went around touching things she wasn’t supposed to.Now, this was the moment the girls had been waiting for.“Now, out with the gist already,” Venita urged impatie

“Gerald, how many times do I have to tell you that I want a big wedding?” Kareen pursed her lips.She was devastated almost every day of her life with their wedding around the corner.A date hasn’t been fixed yet and no halls have been booked, but certainly, they were having a wedding the first weekend of the coming month just like they had agreed on.This goes to show that she wasn’t going to get married in a popular hall just as she wanted as most of them used to be booked in advance.“If you want a big wedding, you should get ready to bring your money,” Gerald fired back as he dumped the wedding magazine she made him go through on the sofa. He was equally tired of listening to her demands and having to remind her that he didn’t have that kind of money for her dream wedding. Kareen wants a big wedding, even bigger than the one Gerald and Bella had in the past otherwise she would be laughed at and would become the most talked about for the wrong reasons.She wanted the atten

While Isabella was having a movie date with her friends and munching their snacks, Richard was having a good time with Isla.He paid for any game she wanted to try and as for the dangerous ones with age limit, he went with her.People at the game house actually thought they were real father and daughter given their lovely interaction but none of them knew it wasn’t the case.In the middle of their break, Richard got ice cream for them. “Do you have an iPad at home?” he asked her as he handed her a disposable spoon to eat her ice cream with. “No,” Isla shook her head. “But Mummy said she would get me one.”Richard didn’t say anything. After their break, he took her back to finish playing the rest of the games she was interested in before he took her to a phone store.“Can I get a tab for kids?” he requested. Just like that, he got Isla an iPad and asked her to show it to her mother only when she got home.Next, Richard drove them to the cinema Bella and her friends were seein

The moment Isabella saw the strings of numbers lit up on her phone screen, she knew who they belonged to.It didn’t matter that she had unsaved Gerald’s contact the moment she decided to end their marriage, she could still recognize since they were amongst the set of phone numbers she made an effort to learn back then.Isabella glanced at the wall clock in her living room. She could still spare five minutes to take that call even though she didn’t want to. But for the sake of Isla who wanted to speak to her father, she will answer it.The moment she answered the call and placed it on her ear, she heard Gerald’s rough voice. “It’s Isla’s birthday, please put her on the phone.”Isabella squinted her eyes. There was something about Gerald’s voice that spelt out ‘Rudeness’ clearly even though he added ‘please’ while making the request.He didn’t great, and his tone wasn’t even gentle. It’s like she expected that much from him, but for the main fact that he wanted something from her,
