Marga's Pov:
I walked downstairs with a bucket.
To my greatest surprise, I saw mother and Goldy.
Goldy was having a lot of injury all over her body.
What the heck happened to her?
Thoughts ran through my mind.
She was groaning in pain as mother applied some balm on her.
Did someone beat her up? I thought.
"Goldy! Are you OK? What happened?" I asked shocked.
Mother stared at me with so much hatred.
I gulped and bow my head
I wonder why they hate me so much.....
"And what's your business?" Goldy said.
She was burning up in annoyance.
"Uhmm... I just wanted to know why you look so bloody and..." I stammered.
Mother landed a resounding slap on my cheeks.
I held my cheeks in shock as tears flooded down my face.
"You may think you have the rich guy but I just want to tell you that you can never compete with my daughter" Mother said.
I became confused.
"The rich guy?" I asked anxiously
"Tch...pretend all you can! But I promise you this Marga I rather die than see you together with my man" Goldy said even if she was in pains.
"I don't understand.... Your man?" I asked in confusion
"I don't expect you to understand Marga so get out of my sight" She yelled at me.
I quickly rushed out in tears.
Her man?
What man is she talking about?
Oh my gosh.... Could it be about Mr Alex?
Does Goldy like Mr Alex?
I covered my mouth with my palms.
So this is the reason why Goldy seemed very angry with me?
I bowed my head in tears.
Suddenly a car drove into the compound.
Mr Alex
Alex's Pov:
I drove out of the compound.
Actually I was going to buy food for my kids.
You know sometimes I wonder why Bella even came over to this place.
That lady have got guts.
She ordered for food.
While my children go hungry.
Just then, my eyes caught with a handkerchief.
"Who has this?" I thought.
I quickly recollected whose it was.
"Marga...." I smiled.
Thoughts of her filled my mind.
I reversed my car and drove towards her place.
I really need to see her.
My kids will be happier to see her.
**
I drove straight into the compound.
I saw her walk out of the house.
She looked extremely shocked when she saw me.
"Mr Alex?" She called as I smiled at her.
I got down from the car with her handkerchief.
"Hi Marga...." I said as I held her hands.
She forced a smile as I gave her the handkerchief.
"Thank you!" She managed to say
"I missed you Marga" I said
"What?" She asked in surprise
"I meant the kids missed you" I said as I gulped.
She smiled.
"You have to go Mr Alex!" She said starring at the window.
"But why? The kids wants you to come over" I said
"I will but not right now" She said in fear as she kept starring at the window.
"Please Marga you have to come...." I said
"Please just go Mr Alex! I beg you" She said.
She looked extremely scared.
"MARGA!" Someone screamed her name from inside and she flinched.
Sandy's Pov:
We tiptoed from the room.
And bent over from the stairs... We stared at Bella.
She was eating at the dinning
We fumed in anger.
"This lady is so wicked! She ordered for food while we go hungry" Nicky whispered.
Nicholas gulped down saliva and licked his mouth.
Our mouth watered.
"I thought daddy went to buy food for us" Nicholas said
"Well I can't wait any longer" I said
"What do we do now?" Nicholas asked.
I smiled mischievously.
"Any idea?" Nicky asked
"Yes... I have an idea...." I chuckled
"Let's hear it" They said eagerly as I whispered some inaudible things into their ears.
They giggled.

I picked up my phone and dialed the number.
The telephone in the sitting room rang aloud noisily.
"Who could be calling?" Bella said as she got up and walked away to the sitting room.
We high five and laughed.
Nicholas rushed to the dinning and carried the food.
Nicky helped him and they carried the sumptuous meal as we rushed into the room.
"Hello... Hello.... Hello.... Who's this?" Her voice echoed from my phone and I quickly hung up.
We merried in excitement.
"Bolt the door! It's time to eat" Nicholas said as we quickly locked the door.
We dished out the chicken and basmati rice with veggies.
"Yummy..... " We licked our hands in happiness.
"Good heavens..... Where's my food?" We heard a loud scream from outside.
We giggled in excitement.......
