Chapter 183

• “was this God punishing him for all the bad things he has done”, he wondered. “Why did you beat her like that she’s your daughter”, his wife Shallot said angering him more. “My daughter?”, He asked, “if she’s truly my daughter and feels sorry for me she would not be doing everything just to see me dead”, he said loudly shocking his wife. She took a few steps back before she got the courage to speak again, “if not for you and your father’s greedy, will my daughter be in this situation, where she’s married to someone who doesn’t value her or leaving without knowing what’s coming for her tomorrow, so tell me Ronald between you and our daughter who’s more heartless and doesn’t have a heart to care for anyone?”, she asked, she was already fed up with her husband’s stupidity and obsession towards Matilda. All these years she has to leave under someone’s image once she drop it she may not know what hit her. Hearing his wife’s argument and question, Ronald said, “I warned you before you got your self pregnant, that I will never recognize your daughter unless profits are involved, yes she got married to that stupid good for nothing son of the Anthony family but did we get, nothing accept drama and trouble all day round”, he pushed her after saying that and left to his study. He did not even look at her yet she fell down. Her eyes turned dark and swear to make Matilda also suffers all the suffering she has received in their marriage. She forgot that Matilda has been gone for more than twenty years, she’s married to the best husband in the world and having the best daughter any parent could wish to have.
• She stood up and went to meet her daughter, they have to find a solution before it’s too late for them. She opened her daughter without knocking because she knew that Bright will not have the energy to answer her if she knocked. “Baby how are you feeling?”, she asked her daughter slowly and careful not to anger her more. “not good mum can’t you see”, she replied, “I know honey but I feel we having a traitor in this house you have to be careful. Mammy is going to find a way to fix this just relax”, she said parting her. She did not answer her, She just covered her head and continued with her sleep but deep inside she was cursing Sandra, if not for her, she would not be in this situation. She hated Sandra so much that if she’s given an opportunity, she will kill her with her bear hands. She forgot that all this began by her, because of her greedy and vengeance, she’s in this difficult situation where she can not even breath.
• Old man Grayson was at his brother’s home, the Gomez family residence with a pretense that his there to congratulate his brother and sister in law for uniting with their daughter and granddaughter and also to congratulate his cousin on becoming the Gomez Enterprise’s president. He apologized for not being at the party acting as if he did not know that he was not invited or welcomed on the party. “no need to apologize you were not invited in first place”, old man Gomez said, he was already fed up with his brother’s hypocrisy and pretending. “Huh”, old man Grayson was confused, this is not how you answer someone, at least he should leave some face for him to walk around the city raising his head. Before old man Gomez could answer him, his phone rang, seeing that it was his son calling, he hung up the call immediately. He called again, “why don’t you pick up it maybe something important”, old man Gomez and his wife said in union. Now he could not hung up, he excused himself and answered. “dad please hurry up and come home before everything runs out our hands”, Ronald said frustrated the moment his father answered. Old man Grayson removed his phone from the ear to confirm if it was really Ronald he was talking too after confirming it was him, he wondered what really happened in the few days he has not heard from him and his family.
