I wasn’t falling for it.
As I walked away. I felt proud that I had passed the message to them. I didn’t care anymore. Veronica tried so bad, but I
The house warming party soon ended, I made sure to bid Mr Roberts, the client whom I had a contract with good night,
The cleaners cleared the compound and everywhere was as good as new again.
I bade Terry a good night, he was part of the reasons the house warming party was a success. I looked at Moon who was cuddled up in my arms, he just laid there quietly but he wasn’t sleeping.
“Sweetic, aren’t you asleep yet?”
(“No mummy, I want to eat before going to sleep” He muttered.
“You’re such a foodie, 1 fed you before the party and yet you’re still hungry. Hungry bird.” I said, before tickling him.
His sweet laughter filled my ears and my joy was full. I took him inside the kitchen and sat him on the counter, Grandma Mira entered to get a cup of water, though she was getting old, she was still quite agile and could still walk and do things herself.
She always rejected being helped.
“Granny!” Moon yelled happily as he made to jump down but grandma stopped him.
“Don’t jump, my sweet child, I’ll come get you” She walked towards where he sat on the counter and lifted him up.
“You’ve added a lot of weight child, you’ll grow up big and strong. She said
“I’m getting stronger, granny” He said, flexing his little arms.
I fed him on the counter after which he soon slept off. I changed his clothes into his pyjamas and laid him on his bed, kissing his forehead.
I went downstairs and grandma was still there, sitting on the plush sofa.
“I saw him” I heard her say, I knew who she was talking about.
“He hasn’t changed much” She said, and I shrugged indifferently.
“Did you see him?” She asked.
My heart skipped a beat as I remembered the events of the evening His back view when he was playing with Moon, his cold expression as he watched Veronica and I sprak without saying anything.
It was obvious he didn’t care, and deep down I was hurt.

“Do you want to talk about it?” She asked, concerned.
“No granny” I answered.
“It’s alright, today has not been easy for you. I’d suggest you go to bed now child.” She said; rubbing my head.
He watched Veronica spew rubbish,but said nothing. He really didn’t feel
As I laid on my bed, the events of the night began playing like a movie. He w anything for me during our marriage, even if it was just a little care.
I remembered how my heart skipped when we looked at each, before Veronica came. I hated myself for feeling this way. I was supposed to hate him, for causing the pain. I remembered how he asked his guards to chase me away when Veronica came back.

Good morning Miss Beverly, how are you today?” He asked.
“Good sir” I answered, my voice groggy.

“Bye both of you.” I said, blowing them kisses.
I called Terry to come pick me up. When he arrived, he was against me working with Quinn
“I promise, it’s only work and nothing else.”
On our way to the company, we chatted a bot, I came to know he was in love with some woman who didn’t know his feelings for her. I advised him to tell her and teased him a little,
We soon arrived at the company and he decided to wait nearby. I walked into the company and I could feel people’s eyes on me, I ignored it. I sighted Mr Roberts, we exchanged pleasantries and walked into an elevator leading us to the CEO’S office.
I remembered to keep my emotions in check. Mr Roberts knocked on the door, and it was opened by Fleur. He nodded at me and I nodded back at him in greeting. I saw Quinn, staring at me intensely from where he sat, I wondered if there was something on my face.
“Mr Winfrey, meri Miss Anastasia. I introduced you both at her house warming party. She’s the one I put in charge of the asked you to leave for me.” Mr Roberts said, smiling.
