“Joseph, is anything wrong? You have been quiet. This is unlike you”. Aunt Becky said to me after we got out of the taxi. She held my shoulders and squatted in front of me. I remained quiet as I stared at her. Then I stared at Uncle Gael who was standing behind her, before I returned my gaze to her once more.“You should have told me the truth. Then I would have changed out of this ridiculous outfit”. I said to them and tried not to get teary, even though I felt greatly hurt.They had lied to me, and even if they had done it for my own sake, it was something I did not appreciate. They should have just told me the truth. “Was it because of what that girl said to you? You should not mind her words, Joseph. What did she know?”. “She knows that my clothes are ridiculous, Aunt Jane. Now I feel like a joke”. I pouted my lips after I said this to her. She sighed, before turning to Uncle Gael. Then she let go of my shoulders. After she did that, she stepped away, and it was Uncle Gael

“Jerry, you got to stop the van. Let me out”. I said to him and sounded serious, because I wanted him to take my words seriously.But that didn't work. He even had the guts to chuckle. “Hey. Aren't you even listening to what I am saying? Stop the van. Or take me to my penthouse”. I added, but he kept on doing the opposite and was driving both of us to the family house. Seeing that he was not planning on listening to me, and knowing that I would not be able to get out of the van if he did not stop driving, that made me change strategy. “Please, Jerry. Just this once. You have to listen to me”. I let go of my pride and pleaded with him. “You have been avoiding visiting the house for a while now, Celine, and Mom and Dad are putting the blame on me”. “They said that I am overworking you. So you must show up and make them understand that it wasn't my fault you have not been able to visit them”. He added, but I could have sworn I heard him laugh, even though the laughing sound was very

Joseph's pov, My mind has been unsettled ever since I saw that man who didn't deserve to be called my father. Or who did not deserve to be called anyone’s father. I was scared. I was very scared. I did not want to imagine how life would be with him involved in my life once more. I haven't forgotten about the kind of lunatic he was. He was a monster. No. He was more than a monster who always hurt my mother and always appreciated seeing me and her in pain. He would mercilessly beat my mother and turn a deaf ear to her pleas for mercy.That was until my mother could not endure it anymore and decided to fight for us.She decided to fight for me, and that gave her the courage to go against him. She reported him to the police and also filed for a divorce and won custody of me. I could not have been happier. I usually wonder what life would have been for me if I had been under that wicked man's custody. But what I was certain about was that I would have hated my life to the brim if t

“How is he, doctor? Is it bad? Is my son very sick?”. I asked him, and my question scared me. He stopped checking up on Vincent and focused his attention on me, before turning to Micheal. “How is he, doctor?”. Micheal asked him. “Your son is alright, sir. His teeth are developing, hence his body became like this because of the changes that he is undergoing”. He replied, and I sighed in relief and could finally breathe well. All this while, it felt like I had been holding my breath and was suffocating within me. But now, I am happy. “Thanks, doctor”. I greeted him.“Don't worry, your son will receive the necessary treatment and will be okay in no time”. He assured me and I nodded at him before he left. After he left, I could not stop thanking the good heavens. I don't think I have been so scared before in my life. Earlier, I had imagined that I was going to lose Vincent, and heavy thoughts like that were enough to put me in the trenches. But wait. I halted after realizing what

I breathed deeply. “Such good news”. I muttered, and my mood was instantly lifted. I rose from the sofa and went ahead to sit down on the bed, beside Vincent. I removed the strains of hair that covered his face. For a young boy like him, his black hair was longer than it ought to be. And his dark blue eyes looked special, and also made him look special. I would believe it if someone told me that he was a royalty. “Soon. Done worry, soon, I will introduce you to the entire family and make them know that you are my son. Just focus on getting better, okay?”. “Don't make mama worried about you”. I finished talking and wanted to lie down beside him on the bed. But who would have thought that my cell phone would ring at a time I did not appreciate? Why did the person have to call me when I was staying next to Vincent? Now Vincent had woken up, and I had wanted him to sleep more to regain the strength he had lost. I was a little bit furious when I took out my cell phone to look at th
