Theme: Baby finds daddy a soulmate
Written by Pinky Preshy Chioma
Alex’s Pov:
I yawned hungrily as I got up from the bed.
I glanced at the wall clock….
It was 6:30am already
I walked into the bathroom….
I brushed my teeth and took a shower.
I was still applying cream on my body when I heard a knock on my door.
“Daddy?” That was Nicky’s voice.
“Baby? Just come in!” I said as the door swing open and she walked in.
Nicky yawned hungrily with her face frowned.
“What is it baby?” I asked as she sat on the bed.
“Daddy am so hungry…” she cried
“Oh come on baby… Is that why you are crying?” I said as I patted her hair.
“Who’s going to cook now? Miss Marga is gone!” She wailed.
I forced a smile at her.
She’s right anyways….
I scratched my head in confusion.
“Uhm… But I can cook baby” I smiled sheepishly.
“Hell no daddy….” A voice echoed from the door.
It was Sandy and Nicholas.
I gulped as I frowned at them.
“Daddy please we all know that you cook pepper instead of food” Sandy said sharply.
Nicky giggled.
“Yes daddy! We want food not pepper” Nicholas said
“Fine! We are going to the eatery and…” I said
“What about Bella? At least she can help with that” Nicky said.
I nodded my head and smiled.
“Wow! I even forgot…. Let’s go” I said as we walked out of the room.

“What…. Damn! You want me to cook? Ewww….” She yelled to our greatest surprise.
“Uhmm… Bella it’s just breakfast and…” I said
“It’s just breakfast and so what? I cannot stain my fingers and my expensive nails just because I want to cook for you and your no good kids” She said as she applied some makeups on her face.
“Yeah… Yeah…. Nothing good comes from the gutters” Sandy chipped in.
“You little mosquito…. Watch your mouth!” Bella warned
“But Bella it’s a simple thing to do” I said
“Then do it! Gosh! I can’t cook Alex and please rush to an eatery and get me something to eat cos am famished” She said.
The kids walked out of the room in disappointment.
I stared at Bella as she continued her makeup.
Sandy’s Pov:
Nicky burst into tears as we walked into our room in silence.
“Am so hungry Sandy!” She cried.
“I wish I can prepare something for us” I said sadly.
“If mommy was alive she could have prepared breakfast for us even before we wake up” Nicholas lamented.
The thought of the lovely times we had with our mom brought tears running down our cheeks.
“Uhm… Sandy what about Miss Marga? I thought you gave her your spare phone?” Nicky asked sharply.
I smiled broadly.
“That’s true!” I jumped for joy.
“Then call her…” Nicholas said as I quickly made for the telephone
I dialed the number.
Bella’s Pov:
I watched them walk out of my room.
I sighed loudly.
What the heck…?
Are they really serious?
Like I should go and cook for them to eat?
Gosh….
I looked at my nails again.
To get my sparkling nails ruined just because of those rascals that almost made my body peel off yesterday.
Besides I can’t even cook!
How can a beautiful lady like me walk into that filthy place they call kitchen to stain my hands?
Disgusting!
My cell phone rang aloud.
I picked it up.
It was Agnes.
Hello Agnes…. I said
What’s up? Where are you? You didn’t come home last night… She asked.
Are you guys shocked?
Are you surprised she didn’t know I was coming here?
You don’t have to be….
Of course I know she’s only going to talk me out of coming.
Am here to make those kids disappear forever.
I have my plans.
Isabella are you there?.. Agnes asked anxiously as I turned off the phone.
I don’t have to tell her my plans else she will ruin in it.
I smiled.
Goldy’s Pov:
I tiptoed into the room actually Marga was taking her bath downstairs.
I have to search the room thoroughly with the chance I have.
I searched the room.
Throwing everything away in disarray.
I have to find out who the handsome man is.
I was already losing hope of seeing anything.
My eyes caught with something.
A card and a cell phone beside the old couch.
“A phone? How can Marga afford a cell phone?” my eyes almost popped out of it’s socket.
Suddenly, the phone started ringing.
I quickly picked up the call.
Hello good morning Miss Marga it’s me Sandy… The voice said
Hi sa…. Sandy!.. I pretended
Why is your voice so different? Are you just waking up?… She asked
Yes… I replied
OK… Miss Marga could you please come over to the mansion again… She said
Mansion?…i asked anxiously
Yes! I mean the house… She said
Our house? Our mansion…. At the vine’s GRA.. House 6! Have you forgotten so soon?… She asked
Oh no! I remember… I’ll be there… I said as she giggled and hung up.
The handsome man has kids?
He has a mansion?
What am I going to do now?
An idea popped into my head and I smiled mischievously.
And am going to the mansion in place of Marga.
I laughed as I walked out of the room.
Mansion here I come
