Imelda’s Pov
You still have that? Andrew said and my heart skipped..
I gasped and gulped nervously…
Yes! But that useless necklace means nothing and absolutely nothing to me… I said as i fumed in anger
Really? Then why do you still have it? You even took good care of it… Andrew smirked and I rolled my eyes
Because this is the only thing that will assure me of the whereabouts of my daughter if not I will never touch this… I said and I could see his surprise look.
Your daughter? So you are now married Imelda? He asked and I gave him a dangerous stare
How come you don’t have a ring on finger? He teased and I smirked
Am not married so don’t dare play anymore pranks with me.. I said as he laughed
You are not married but you have a daughter already? She’s a love child I suppose… He said and I slapped him
How dare you? For your information the daughter I had is our child, she’s your daughter…. I said as i pushed him aside and walked away.
Our daughter? We had a child? Andrew muttered
**
I forced back tears as i blinked hard and headed straight to my car.
That guy is so annoying! He just called my daughter a love child…. Our daughter! I cried bitterly as i hopped into the car and drove off.
I drove into the mansion and walked into the house looking really tired.
The house was so lonely…..
Carrissa! Carrissa!! I called as the maid rushed to me.
You are reading from mhiztaemy.com.ng
Yes ma’am! Good evening ma’am… She greeted and I nodded
Where’s Nicole? I asked
He left for the hospital this morning to be with ma’am Amy! She said
Alright! I said as i breathed heavily and sighed… I headed straight to the stairs.
Ma’am! Dinner has been served!! Carrissa said
I bought some snack from the fast food so I don’t wanna eat… I said as i walked to my large room.
I miss you Amy! Wake up already!! I said to myself as i changed my clothes.
I hope I will be able to find the mid wife Mrs Gladys by tomorrow… I thought.
Isabella’s Pov
I was dying in nervousness as Eric pulled over in a very classy fast food restaurant.
He got down from the car and opened the door for me as i got down.
Let’s go! He said sweetly as he brought out his hand and I sluggishly held him and we headed into the restaurant.
👥Oh my goodness! Look at that handsome dude… He’s with his girlfriend 👥
👥They look so good together 👥… People kept looking at us and gossiping.
Welcome to five star restaurant sir and ma’am! A waiter said politely
Where’s our reservation? Eric asked sternly
Follow me sir! He said
After you! Eric replied as we followed him.
He led us to the VVIP lodge, to a decorated table.
A red flower was used to write “Bella” on the table and I marveled as i smiled warmly.
We sat down and a menu was handed to us.
Let me have chicken sauce and cheese… Eric said
And you ma’am? The waiter asked as I flinged the pages of the menu.
Foreign food! I said to myself
I just want something local! Roasted fish and chips… I said as Eric frowned
WTF! What the hell is that? Eric asked
It’s really yummy! I smiled as he smirked
Really? He asked eagerly
Sure! I said
Alright! Get that for me too… Roasted fish and chips… Eric said as the waiter left.
You mean fish roasted with oven is really delicious? Eric asked
Very much! Especially when there’s pepper in it… I giggled
Shortly, the waiter arrived with our order .
I don’t need any cutlery like spoons, forks or knives… I said as Eric gave me a fork
So how will you eat then? He asked astonished
With my hand! It’s fun… I said and he widened his eyes in shock
What? Really? He asked as i nodded already eating with my hand hungrily
You are something Isay! He said as he kept the fork he was using and started using his hand.
How does it taste? I asked with a mouthful of chips and fish
Yummy! 😋 I love it! He said and I chuckled
Slowly we started enjoying the meal.
Suddenly he used his hand to remove a piece of bone from my mouth and I smiled and he eyed me romantically…. I blushed
**
Soon we left the restaurant and entered the car then hit the road.
It was a lovely night with my Prince Charming.
Suddenly our car stopped…
What happened? I asked him as he started the engines but the car was not starting.
I think the car broke down! He said as we got down from the car.
We were really worried not until we saw an ice cream man walk past us.
Ice cream! 🍦 I screamed in delight
Hey! Why are you shouting? He asked eagerly
That’s the ice cream man! I said as i yelled and told him to come.
Gosh! This girl is silly! Eric said laughing
How many do you want ma’am? It’s 30 bucks! The man asked
Two please! I said in excitement as he handed it to me and Eric gave him some money.
Keep the balance! Eric said as he thanked him and walked away.
Here! I said as i handed one ice cream to him
Isn’t it that street food are not hygienic? He asked puzzled
I don’t think so! All my life I have always been eating street food so if it isn’t hygienic then I should be dead by now… I said already licking my ice cream as he laughed happily and licked his.
Wow! He said as we licked happily
This is the sweetest moments of my life… I thought
You know what? This will look good on you… I said as i rubbed the ice cream on Eric’s nose and he laughed.
I quickly took to my heels and he ran after me.
you are so naughty! he said as we kept racing happily
Just then, I heard music… It was coming from a bar.
Let’s go in! I said
It’s already late Isabella and the car… he said pointing at the car
Forget about that! Let’s go please… I begged him as he nodded and we walked into the bar and sat down as we watched a dancer dancing.
We clapped our hands in excitement.
Not long enough, we bought some drinks.
I drank the bottle of whiskey…
We kept drinking and drinking.
Eric’s Pov
Isay! Will you stop drinking already you are drunk! I said but she laughed senselessly
Goodness me! I don’t wanna go home right now! She said as she belched loudly and smells of alcohol rushed out of her mouth.
I knew it! I said as i quickly carried her out of the bar and headed straight to the car.
You are so stubborn Isabella! It’s already Past twelve!! I said
Sir Eric! Do you know that. That I’ve been crushing on you ever since… Isabella said as she laughed and I chuckled softly
Really? I asked her
Yeah! but I thought you were grumpy! she said and smiled at nothing
Was that the reason why you never admitted to loving me? I asked more interested
And because your girlfriend Clara is simply a witch! she roared in laughter and that made me laugh so hard
Suddenly she threw up right on my face.
Yuck! I yelled as I quickly picked up my face towel and cleaned my messed up face.
Isabella coughed and choked as she quickly passed out right in my arms.
You are something Isabella! I said as i carried her into the car and I hopped in.
I started the engines praying so hard it starts and luckily for me or for us, it started and I drove off.
I kissed her forehead and smiled at her… My day was fun and all thanks to her.
Imelda’s Pov
That morning, I woke up really early and set off to search for Mrs Gladys the mid wife.
I got to the apartment and I got down from my car and headed to the door.
I made the sign of the cross and breathed heavily as I knocked on the door.
The door threw open and a young lady came out.
Good morning! I greeted calmly
Good morning ma’am! She said
Please am here to see Mrs Gladys the mid wife! I said
Am really sorry ma’am but Mrs Gladys died two years ago and her family moved out of this apartment…i have no idea where they moved to! Am really sorry… She said as i nodded and she closed the door as tears rolled down my cheeks.
How do I know the truth now? I thought still in tears as i headed to my car.
Imelda! A voice called from behind and I turned around…
