We continued staring at one another.
"What in heaven's sake are you doing here Del?, You and Scott better not be dating"Ethan yelled."Ewww...... i have higher standards" Del said."So do i" Scott replied while eyeing Del."And any reason why Joe's former wedding planner is also hiding with you guys cause the last i remember Joe fired her"Ethan said."And did she give you a reason why she fired her?" Del asked."Incompetence and something about not meeting up regularly for appointments" Ethan said and i scrunch my eyebrows in confusion. I never miss any of our appointments and when in fuck's name am i incompetent."Sure, she would lie" Del said."You really need to stop hating on Joe like that. She is a nice person""Really, cause not quite long ago, someone was complaining about not wanting to get married." Scott said"I did not say am not getting married to her. I just am not ready now"Ethan said."I literally can't see the difference"Scott said."Same here"Del responded."Will you two stop this madness?, Am in love with her" He said making my heart clench while Del and Scott give me pity look."Hmmm, i don't think so, that lady is the devil herself" Del said."Why is she here again?"Ethan asked while pointing at me."We are working on something?" Scott said and i nodded."And what exactly is this something?"Ethan asked and we all stared at each other."Will you guys stop with the stares and answer the damn question?" He said or perhaps yelled."Okkkk........Promise not to panic"Scott said."Wait.... you're really going to tell him about EVERYTHING?" i asked."Yes, he has to know at one point" Del said and Scott agreed with her."Am i the only one who thinks this is a bad idea. He is not going to believe us"I said"Just trust me, as long as it isn't something stupid or weird." Ethan said. "So what you're trying to say is that i wasn't dating Joe before my accident but i was actually dating her" Ethan asked and we all nod our heads at the same time."Am sorry to say this but i have high standards" He said and i scoffed."Are you being serious right now?"I asked"I mean i was suspecting that mom was lying about my relationship with Joe but really!!!! we used to be a thing"Ethan said."Give me a reason why i shouldn't strangle you right now?"I asked."You two should stop your lovers quarrel and let us focus on the issue at hand" Scott scolded."We confront mom about it" Ethan responded blankly."I thought you two were stupid before but i can clearly see who the stupid one is" I said while referring to Ethan."You are forgetting he is also dumb" Scott added."And also still sufferring from the aftermath of the accident."Del replied."You three realize that i can hear you guys" Ethan said with obvious annoyance."Why won't we call you names when you are always bringing up the most stupid ideas that ever exist in the history of ideas"I said with sarcasm."Then what do you suggest we do. Miss Smartty Pants?" He asked" Since we've come to a conclusion that your mom, Lillian and Jeremy are working together with a probability that Joesphine might also be doing the same. We need to know who drag you out of the car and who you met in that house and why?" I said and we all agreed."I will check if Joe is involved" Ethan said and i hummed. **********I got home from Scott's after the discussion we had together..."Hey babe"Joesphine said in the annoying voice she normally use which always make me want to puke."You look tired" She said and i nodded while heading upstairs."Am going to start preparing dinner"She said and i look back. Joe NEVER cooks and obviously doesn't know how.I got upstairs and change into one of my casual wears, i was about going downstairs when i saw Joe's phone. It was unlocked. Perfect. I can't believe anything Amelia says until am sure. My mother can't lie about something like that right.....I was about reading her messages when a message popped up"Lie to him that the pregnancy is his and get him to get him to give you probably three to four million dollars and we can go and start our lives elsewhere babe........I love you XOXO" The message read....................So she is a cheater.I was about dropping when another message came in."Tell him to get rid of Amelia, Ethan can't know about her or else you lose everything. Make sure there is no mistakes" The message read. I looked at the number and it turned out to be my mother's own....... "How was work babe?" Joe asked."It was good" I replied. I can't believe she wants me for my money and mom is planing on killing Amelia. I need to warn her. "I want to tell you something" She said and i gestured for her to continue."Am pregnant" She screamed."Really.........Ohhhhhh my God...........am going to be a dad " I said while feigning ignorance. Two can play a game.......I got to work early while informing Del and Amelia to come see me."Am guessing you got something right?"Amelia asked . Damn, she is one fine specimen"Yes, you guys were right" I replied."Hi sexy ladies" Scott said while walking in."What's popping?"He asked."My mom is planning to killing Amelia" I stated balantly."You say?"Amelia asked or perhaps yelled."This is getting dangerous and deadlier than i expected."Scott said."And we will play along"I said while smiling."I don't think am going to like your plan" Amelia said while eyeing me. FIVE HOURS LATER"Babe....You can't believe what just happened. I just got a call that the former wedding planner i introduced to you got involved in a car accident." Joe said while walking into my office."Are you being serious?""I am""Poor girl,they the car got burnt and by the time they put it off, she was unrecognisable""May her soul rest in perfect peace" I said while smirking."Amen" THE STORY AND REVENGE BEGINSI can’t believe I have been living a lie, at this point I really don’t know know who to trust. It completely make sense why Josephine is pressuring me to push the wedding date forward but at the same time, I knew I had to make a decision and try to regain my memory.I told Amelia and Delle to meet me at one of my personal penthouse, I don’t even know why I bought the house but it seems very special and dear to me which was why I didn’t inform Joe about it.“Wow, you have this type of house and didn’t inform me” Delle said while admiring the house.“Can we get to the point?” I asked and she scoff.“Scott is on his way” Amelia said.“Am here” Scott said while walking in.“Why did you invite him?” I asked.“He is part of the group right?” Delle said.“I feel offended dude, you were going to cut me off” He said with an annoying look as if he had been betrayed.“Anyways, we have to get to know if my mom and Joe are working together and why……..”“Isn’t that obvious? To kick Amy away from th
Jeremy was the first friend I ever made since high school, we tell each other everything from our first high school crush to my very first girlfriend, I always tell him everything because to me he was more than a friend, he was my brother. I couldn’t believe my ears when Delle and Amy revealed that he was involved in my accident.“I know you will label me as a bad friend but I didn’t really have a choice, she was threaten to kill her if I say a word. Am sorry” He said or rather ramble.“Calm down and explain whatever you’re talking about?” I said.“Your mom”He said.“What did she do?”“She was the cause of your accident”“Am sorry, you say what”“S-She said she wanted you not to be with her and she was going to do whatever it takes to do that”“Wanted me not to be with who?” I asked.“With Amelia”“And how do you know about all of this?”“Remember when you were in the hospital and needed someone to get your clothes from home and I offered?” He said and I nodded remembering how much I
I decided on taking both Amelia and Daniel out of the country to Paris and meet Dad. As much as I hate to admit it, he, Delle and Scott are the only ones I trust right now. I wanted him to know about both of them and to know that he has a grandchild.“Are you sure about this?”Amelia asked when we were about entering the house.“Yes, he has a right to know about everything” I said while trying to adjust Dan who has fell asleep on my shoulder.“If you say so” She said while we entered the big and exquisite apartment. Dad always have eyes down for expensive shit ranging from his apartments, to cars he owned, to his hotels and bars and whenever anyone tries to explain that he shouldn’t spend money on useless stuffs, he replies with “You only live once, make good use of it”. He and Mom filed for a divorce immediately I graduated from college, to outsiders, they were the most lovable couple but we the kids know that that was far from the truth. They are always on each other nerves and ser
Dad and Amelia alongside were bonding, it was a beautiful sight because dad always complains about every one of my girlfriends, about how they are not good enough for me. He was smiling and it is the first time I have ever seen him smile this much. I didn’t want to loose this. I want to have a family that will be worry free but for any of that to happen, I have to find a way to get Josephine out of my life and make sure neither her nor mom tries to do anything to Daniel or Amelia.“What do you say to me giving you a tour round Paris?” I asked Amy while Dad and Daniel are sorting out his lego collection.“What about Daniel?” She asked.“Dad can babysit, Delle told me how much you love the museum. How about we go there? Dan and I can fix a date for later” I said and she grinned.“Really…… I haven’t been to a museum in years. When do we leave and what do I wear?” She asked unable to control the happiness radiating from her.“How does the next thirty minutes sound and you can wear somethi
I couldn’t have a sound sleep not when I knew what my mom was capable of doing now the secret is out. I can’t even begin to imagine what her reaction will be. I didn’t want to jeopardize Amelia’s safety, I needed to act fast and the faster I do that, the better.“You look as if you didn’t get a lot of sleep” Amelia said when I got downstairs the next morning.“That’s because I didn’t”“Why?”“Mom knows”“About…………”“About the fact that we had a date yesterday. I don’t know what she is going to do”“And Daniel?”“She doesn’t know about him”“Which is why Daniel will stay here with me while you guys sort out the problem with your mom” Dad said while walking into the kitchen.“I can’t just leave Daniel alone here” Amy said.“You don’t really have a choice. We need to think about his safety, if she notices that you’re going around with a kid, she will put everything together and will soon realize that Daniel is Ethan’s kid. The important thing we should make sure of is that she shouldn’t
Everyone who are not close with me will think that Mom is my biological mom but that wasn’t the case. It happened when I was around twelve and when Delle was about nine. Mom and Dad had an argument about work and dad decided to leave the house in order for the two to calm down. Mom decided that she was going to work so as not to think about the argument. Delle and I were left at home alone with Uncle Francis. One minute we were having movie marathon, the next minute, we were in the hospital after learning that mom committed suicide. Dad was inconsolable and it was the hardest thing to explain to Delle that she wasn’t going to see mom again.Dad and So called mom Sophie got together about two years after mom died, I thought I was going to be angry about it but I wasn’t. She took good care of us and was always there for us. To others, Stepmothers were horrible creatures but she was more than anything to me, even though she never attends any celebrations we had or congratulate us, she a
“The police have begin investigation following the arrest made on Mrs Sophie Anderson for her involvment in her son Ethan Anderson accident which took place six years ago and for the suspected murder of Late Mrs Florence Anderson. The suspect is said to be involve in both incidents and……….” Amelia turned off the televison before I could finish hearing whatever the presenter was saying.“You need to stop listening to any of the news pertaining to her” She said.“I can’t believe I called her my mom and I can’t believe she was living with us under the same roof for years not knowing she was the reason mom died” I said while crying. I couldn’t stop the tears. “Everything will be fine. She is going to get the punishment she deserves” She said while hugging me. “Am sorry I dragged you into this mess” I said.“Stop apologizing for stuffs you didn’t do. It isn’t your fault that we fell in love and I love the fact that we are together and everything has been sorted out” She said and I smile
We were all staring at each other until Daniel decided to break the silence.“Papi and I wanted to surprise you” He said.“I think it is your parents that surprised us” He said while I coughed. An indication for him not to tease us in front of Daniel.“Did you enjoy the holiday with Papi?” Amelia asked changing the topic and immediately started talking about places that he and Dad visited.“How about you tell me all about it when you take your bath?” Amy asked and he nodded while kissing to me before Amelia took him to his room.“Well, that was a nice surprise you gave us” dad said after they left.“Dad, please enough with the embarrasment”“Well, you guys are definitely moving fast” He continued and I groaned.“Am sorry about Sophie, I didn’t know she is that psychotic, I wouldn’t have leave you two under her care. I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that she killed your mom. Am sorry”“It’s okay dad. Everything has been resolved and that’s what matters the most, that Daniel a
