“But you are a kid” Alex said. Asher shook his head in disagreement, “I’m not, I look small but I am definitely not a kid” he retorted
” Alright” Alex raised his hand in surrender. “Can you move your car out of the way mister?” Asher requested.
” Huh? Why?” Alex inquired.” Because this is not a parking lot” he answered
Alex smiled at him and nodded, “I will take my leave now, nice meeting you Asher” he said
“You too” he said and watched Alex get into his car before taking off. Asher was still staring at his car that he didn’t notice his mother.
She stared in the direction he is staring at but she didn’t see anything interesting. If there is nothing interesting there, why is he staring into space?
Did he fight in school? Asher was lost in thought of lies to tell her?.
“Asher” she called tapping him lightly. “Mom” he jerked in surprise. “When did you get here?” He asked adjusting his bag
” Not long, what were you looking at?” She asked. “Just something” he answered, swiftly.
“What do you mean nothing? ” She asked giving him a suspicious stare.
“The sun is shining so bright today, we should go home now” he said digressing from the topic.
” Asher” Janiece called but he was long gone. She ran after him to keep up with his space.
Alex could not help but smile at himself as he remembered the little boy he met few minutes ago. He looked cute and funny. He reminds him it someone but he doesn’t know who.

“Everything is set for the wedding” Lena told Sharon who was playing with Tia.
“Thanks for everything” she mutter. “You shouldn’t thank me, you are my sister in-law. I an just fulfilling my duties. She said
“Why are guys getting sentimental?” Jasper asked as he wheel into the room.
“We are not” Lena snapped. “Welcome jimmy” Jasper greeted as he walked into
“Thanks dad… Good afternoon aunt” he greeted Lena and Sharon. Lena nodded in response with her attention in the tab in her hand.
Sharon was about to reply him when Tia suddenly started crying, Sharon stood up to pacify her but it was not working.
“What’s wrong with her?” Lena asked. “No idea, she has been crying since morning” Sharon explained
” She is mad at you because you threatened to starve me in the morning” Jimmy said but they ignored him
” Let me hold her” Lena volunteered and Sharon try to give her the baby but she cried more rasing her hand in protest.
“She doesn’t want me to carry her” Lena said sadly. Jimmy walked closer to Sharon and observed his kid sister.
” I think she’s sick, she hardly cries, she does only when she’s hungry” he said as he touched Tia’s cheek.
Sharon sat down and positioned herself in a way Jimmy will easily bb feed Tia, but she refused to suck.
“Jimmy is right I think she’s sick” Sharon said sadly.
” Who wouldn’t fall sick when you guys won’t stop arguing” Jimmy said as he pointed at Sharon and Jasper

Sheila groaned as she rubbed her eyes, she refused to sleep because she is waiting for Aiden’s call.
She has been calling him and he hasn’t been picking up, he even rejected some of the calls.
But she’s not going to give up, she loved him and she’s not ready to let him go. She is going to wait for him to call even if he didn’t call through out the night.
“This is so annoying!” She groaned stomping her feet on the ground.
” What is it?” Ben asked as he walked closer to her, he was unable to sleep too. He is has been thinking of a way to get back the company without the help of Sharon.
The old Sharon who is kind hearted might not be there anymore, she might have changed and he doesn’t want his plans to be ruined.
If Sharon refuses to help him he needs to have a plan B, but he has been cracking his brain since morning, he can’t come up with anything good.
He walked out of his room to get some fresh air when he saw Sheila groaning.
“It’s Aiden” she replied. “You are still thinking of the guy?” He ask finding his sister unbelievable.
” What do you mean by that? Shouldn’t I think about the father of my child?” She asked.
” Sheila come to your senses, he doesn’t love you, he made that clear to you” he said
” He was just stressed, he is facing some problems at work, that’s just it” she snapped, her voice coming out louder.
He shook his head in pity and went to sit beside her. “Wake up dear sister, that dude doesn’t deserve you” he said
” What are you insinuating?”she furrowed her brows
“Aiden doesn’t give a fK about you, if he did he would not be so concern about that bch marriage” he said, Sheila gave it a thought and part of her agrees to what he is saying but she doesn’t want to believe him. She can’t lose Aiden not to Sharon or anyone else.
“Stop saying that, he will apologize when he realize his mistakes” she assured herself.
” When will he realize his mistakes? When you give birth and he comes to take the baby? Or when he finally forgets about you?” He ask.
Sheila stared at him as his words sounds convincing but she is still not going to let it have any effect on her.
“You should be greatful he still remember the baby is his” he said standing up.
” Aiden will come back to me, I know it. He won’t abaddon his child!” she said out loud as Ben walked away.
” Think of this Sheila, will you have a chance with him if not because of this baby? Huh?” He raised his brow in a questioning manner.
“You won’t, right?” He ask. “If you didn’t get pregnant do you think he will leave Sharon?” He ask
That’s right, he might never have left Sharon if she didn’t get pregnant. Did he really love her in the first place or he was just playing with her just like her was fooling Sharon?
“What if doesn’t matter” Mr Winston said coming out from the pool side.
“Dad” they both Chroused staring at their father who was struggling to walk properly.
He must be going through one hell if a pain, who wouldn’t be in pain after getting t®rtured for days.
“Ben you have to stop thinking about the past, it is gone and that is why it is called past. We should anticipate for what the future holds,”he said as he sat on the couch with a groan
” Sorry dad” Sheila mutter and he nodded in response.
” In that future we will use Aiden to get back what ours” he referred to the company
” Is that our speciality now? Using others, first it was Sharon now Aiden” Sheila utter in surprise. ” Are we poor now that we can’t survive without depending on someone?” She ask
” When will you grow up Sheila? In few months time you are going to be a mother, how do you plan on raising your child with this mindset?” Ben ask
” Stop picking on me!” She demanded.
” Stop giving me reasons to and I am not picking on you I am just making things clear” he replied
” When did you guys become like this!??” He ask and they stopped arguing
” You should stop fighting, I am tired of it, we have enough on our plates and they last thing I want is to watch you two argue” he stated
” I’m sorry, I think it’s the hormones” Sheila apologized to Ben.
“I’m sorry too I am just stressed, I have been thinking a lot about how to get our company back” he said.
” Good you two should stop fighting” he said and they nodded like kids. ” Sheila you need to take care if your health, thinking deeply, I realized that Sharon might not be reliable, we need someone else just in case she refuse to help us”, he said
” And the next option is your boyfriend” Ben added and Mr Winston nodded in agreement
What are they thinking? That Aiden will just agree to their request? He doesn’t love her anymore it’s a fact that she wants to deny but also needs to consider.
“No reasonable son in-law will want his future in-laws to go bankrupt, so we need him” he concluded
” But dad, the last time Aiden came here he spoke rudely to me, I doubt if he will listen to me” she explained.
” You won’t be going to him but Ben will” he said
“Dad he and Ben aren’t exactly best of friends” Sheila said. ” He will still do s better job than you” their father said.
