” We have come to the end of the meeting, thank you all for your contributions and suggestion concerning the development of the school. We really appreciate everyone of you here for honouring our invitation. Thank you very much. Stay blessed” the head teacher said and dropped the mic.
The meeting finally ended.
Students trooped into the auditorium.
Probably waiting for the end of the meeting.
I stood up.
” Mum” Angel shouted running towards me.
I smiled.
” Mum? I heard some murmuring looking at me.
” Is this not Nathaniel Raymond’s daughter?
” Is this his wife? I thought he lost his wife? Is he married again?
” Why did she call her mum?
” She is really beautiful.
I heard people murmuring.
I Ignored them and focused on my Angel.
She got to me.
” Where is Mabel? I asked.
” In her class mum” she said.
” Okay” i nodded my head.
” You look beautiful mum” Angel said.
I smiled .
” Thank you Angel” i said kissing her forehead.
” Let’s go meet Mabel” she said
.
” Excuse me madam” i heard someone say behind me.
I turned.
It is a young looking man.
Probably in his early forties.
” Is this your daughter? He asked.
” Yes”
” Are you Nathaniel Raymond wife? He asked.
“I..
” Yes, she is my mum” Angel said frowning.
The man looked at her then smiled.
” Let’s go mum” Angel said.
” You are beautiful” he said referring to me.
” Thank you,” Angel said dragging me out.
” Angel..
” Mum, let’s go meet Mabel” angel said interrupting me.
I laughed.
It is obvious she doesn’t like the man.
” Okay”.
” Mum, wait here while bring Mabel” she said walking away.
I smiled.
” Hi ma’am”.
I turned and saw Clara with a man and a woman.
I smiled.
” Hi Clara” i said.
” Mum, this is Angel’s mum” Clara said.
” Angel’s mum? The woman asked.
” Yes, mum Angel and Mabel’s mum” she said.
” Mum” i heard someone called.
I turned and saw Mabel running towards me.
I smiled.
She got to me.
I hugged her.
” You look beautiful mum” she said.
I smiled.
” Thank you princess” I said.
” Hi Clara” Angel said .
” Hi Angel” she said.
” Mum, these are Clara’s parents” she said.
I smiled.
” Am rose, nice meeting you” I said.
” Nice meeting you too” the woman said while her husband only smile.
I smiled.
” Bye” Clara said walking away with her parents.
” Come let’s me show you to All my classmates and teachers” Angel said.
” Me too mum,” mabel beamed.
I followed them.
I met some of their classmates and their parents.
I met their teachers too like they wanted.
The teachers were surprised to see me as their mum.
We got into the car and drove back home.
We got home.
” Mum, my friends couldn’t stop talking about you” Angel said.
” Yes, mum even my friends too” Mabel said.
” Yes mum.. everyone keeps talking about you” Angel said smiling.
” How did you know? I asked with a smile.
” Mum, we heard them” Angel said smiling
I laughed.
” Go to your room now and undress your uniform” i said
” Okay mum” Angel said climbing the stairs with Mabel.
I got into the kitchen..
I drank a glass of water.
I got into my room.
I changed my clothes.
I got to the children’s room.
They have undressed their uniform and dressed in their mofty.
” Now, where is your assignment? I asked.
” Here mum” Mabel said.
We did the assignment and kept the books in their bags.
” Mum, let’s head downstairs” we got downstairs.
I got into the kitchen and made the fruit salad.
We sat down at the sitting room.
I put on the TV.
It is news and entertainment station.
? I read the headlines.
” The popular young billionaire Nathaniel Raymond has got married again.
The presenters sat down.
The first one said.. ” today we got to know Nathaniel Raymond’s wife with his two beautiful kids”??
” ??She is a beautiful woman even though we don’t know anything about her??
??She was present at the kids school today, she is indeed classic and beautiful. She rocks yellow in her matching outfits ??
The screen displayed my pictures.
I gasped.
” It is a picture of me walking into the auditorium”
The other one is a picture of me with the kids.
But who took this pictures?
” Mum, look at us in the t.v” mabel beamed.
” Mum, everyone is talking about you” angel said.
I smiled.
? Nathaniel ?
Am done with the business deal I came for
I got into my private jet heading back home.
We landed back In the country.
I really missed my kids but I need to get to the office now.
I got to the car.
The driver drove off.
I got Into the company.
I saw my staffs scurried away when they sighted me.
I got into the office.
I saw a newspaper article on my table.
I picked it flipping through it.
My eyes caught something.
” One of the richest men in the country,. Nathaniel Raymond is married to his beautiful wife rose”
What? I flinched.
” The kids called her mom at the meeting In the school.. there is no doubt they are married.. it was confirmed that she is his wife.. she is extremely beautiful in her yellow outfit” it’s read.
The pictures of rose and the kids are there.
I squeezed the paper angrily and threw it away.
How could she lie that she is my wife.
How could she tell the world that we are married when we are not?
I got up angrily.
I got to into the car.
” TAKE ME HOME NOW” I roared.
