HER TRUE IDENTITY : CHAPTER 31 – THE END
TWO WEEKS LATER
“Aren’t you going to work today?”Arabella asked as she layed her head on Gerald laps even as they sat in the sitting room watching a movie.
“Don’t you like me spending time with you? You were complaining yesterday that you hardly see me and now that am here with you. Your still complaining” he replied.
“Am not complaining. Am just asking because you have a lot to do ever since you put the passion perfume out in the market. You’ve been busy”She told him.
Its been two weeks since the news about her and Fiona had been out.
Two weeks since Fiona had asked her to be a proper mom to her.
Two weeks since the launch of the newest perfume at Gerald company.
The perfume launch had gone well and it’s been selling also making a lot of money into Gerald’s company.
The issue about her on the news have been forgotten and that’s all due to her father who had had a press conference on the same day he came to talk to Fiona.
He took all the blame for her and made it clear to everyone that Arabella is just a victim who had no choice but to let go of her child.
She got back everyone sympathy and all her fans awaits her new single which she is currently working on.
“For you I have all the time in the world” Gerald said as he bent to give her a kss.
Her phone began to ring and when she saw the caller she answered immediately.
“You want me to join you guys?”She asked whoever was on the line.
“But I thought you and Fiona wanted to be alone, so you could bond some more”Arabella said again.
“I will be there then”She replied as she end the call starring at Gerald.
“Is that John?”Gerald asked and she nodded.
“Does he want you there to spend time together again?”Gerald asked and she nodded.
Ever since Fiona accepted her to be her mom. She along with John and Fiona have been spending time out.
They make sure she is well protected each time she goes out with them and people who sees them thinks they are a couple or a family.
She knew it was unfair to Gerald but she has no choice. Its the only time that she gets to spend with her daughter and though Gerald has been understanding she knew that he’s feeling left out.
If it isn’t her job taking her time, it’s either her spending time with Fiona and John.
“Yes. He says Fiona wants me there too”She added not wanting him to feel jealous.
“Fine then. You can go”Gerald said as he stood up to leave but she held his hand preventing him from leaving.
“Are you angry?”Arabella asked.
“Am not. I just remembered myself that have got to be at the office to sign a important document”He told her.
“But Gerald I…..”
“Its okay love. I understand that you want to spend time with Fiona and if you have to do it with John. I don’t object, just don’t stay out late.
Let me get change and drive you there”Gerald said as he pulled his hand away still having the sad expression on his face.
He drove her right to the park where Fiona and John were having a picnic.
He didn’t even wait for her to wave him goodbye before driving off.
Guilt at having to Jilt Gerald eat her up even as she joined Fiona and Gerald.
Though Fiona and Gerald tried pulling her into the games and disscussion they were having. She couldn’t stop thinking about Gerald.
“Am sorry guys but you will have to continue with out me”She said as she stood up.
“Why?”John asked.
“Do you have work mummy?”Fiona asked.
“No. I don’t but I made a promise to spend the whole day with someone today.
I can’t fail him, I promise to spend lots and lots of time with you guys later on” Arabella said even as she gave Fiona a kiss before running off.
“Mummy is something”Fiona muttered as they both watch her leave.
“Your not angry with her or anything right?”John asked hoping Arabella sudden leave won’t hurt the relationship with them.
“No. I know she’s going to see my uncle and am okay with it. Let’s play some more daddy”Fiona said as both father and daughter continued their game.
