"Is the plan ready? " "yes ma'am" "Elizabeth will not Know What Hit her, I will take away everything and everyone she loves just as she did to me and the sad part is she will never expect me to be her enemy ". "James you still haven't introduced me to your friend you brought along, you've been talking about him all night but yet I haven't seen him, " "don't worry dear you will certainly see him" "but wait where in the world is Renee? this girl these days" I said looking around "oh don't worry about her she's out there playing with Tom "James saw the worried look on my face so he said "who happens to be a pediatrician, but still don't worry dear you can't trust Tom" "ok if you say so I will just go and check on, Mum please keep your eyes on them, and I mean keep your eyes on them", "okay I promise" " hey have you called to check on Gifty? " "yes I did, thank you" "for what James? "for being such an amazing friend, hey but you still got something you tell me About Irena " yes.... yes let me check on my mom first ". it seems the guest at the party has started to leave already mum was just saying her goodbyes then an unexpected guest arrived "so you guys had a party for my granddaughter and you did not care to invite me" I was stunned what in the world was this woman doing here? "granddaughter????? "I asked sarcastically "yes "she answered with no shame "do you even know what she looks like? if you where her grandmother, you would know today is not her birthday," I said with anger seeing her bring back all the old memories" you know to think you threw me out of the house into the cold Rain while knowing I was pregnant that's not speak well of you as a grandmother " "wow so much hate for your mother, is that what this woman thought you? "she said making herself comfortable in the nearby couch" how is that little thing doing? " "little thing?..... did you just call my daughter a thing? you know what I don't buy the crap you are selling, so let's cut to the chase what do you want? " "it seems you've become a bit intelligent since I last saw you" " Mum what brought you all the way here? " " your sister's anniversary is on this Saturday and your dad wants you home" " you and your husband never cease to amaze me, first you throw me out of the house, then you charge me with a murder attempt, you sacked me for my sister's funeral and one year celebration and now you are inviting me to your home for her 4 years celebration? Wow I'm not coming." "you need to, if you claims of loving your sister is true or people might even think you killed her. "she walked out of the door saying "we will be waiting for you and watch your back, make sure to bring your daughter along she is also part of the family ".
"it has being done Lissy will leave the house this Saturday, send your boys to do the job that old hag will pay for the insults, unfortunately I had no information on the girl "Amanda cuts the call and laughs mischievously "let the games begin " back in the house Lissy was still furious "I can't believe she has the guts to come here" she hit her hands on the table mother Diana calm her down "Lissy I think we should leave now this incident has spoilt the whole evening" James said "yeah, am so sorry, but what about your friend? "Lissy asked "Tom will understand" " no it's not good let me say hi and thank you " " don't have to do this, we can come back anytime" " I insist" " ok if you insist then I'll go get him" mother Daina put her hands around me" my dear what are you to do? " "I will go mama, I will go for Irena sake " "I think that is the right thing to do Lissy this is Thomas smith my friend and colleague at work and Tom this is Elizabeth Hanson the girl I've been telling you about" James was so lost in the introduction that he did not observe the expressions on our faces when we saw each other. memories started flashing through my mind I could not speak Mother Diana noticed and asked "do you guys know each other? "I could see he was as shocked as I was I tried to deny it but the words came flowing out of my mouth like water" he is Renee's father "even surprised him more he looked at me and turned to look at Renee who was playing in the porch the room was silent for about 5 minutes then James said "will you guys say something? explain please" " what is there to explain James? "I said laughing at the corners of my mouth "I'm going to go crazy with these surprises mum, this man right here is the Jerk impregnated me three years ago. why now? why today?, Mum is the same Jackass we didn't even care for pleasantries, the man who treated me like dirt. "I cry out loud the Rage in me came lashing out on him, I don't even remember what I said, all I could hear him say was "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was a fool back then "I yelled at him to leave "I don't want to see your face, please James, take him away from here " "relax, relax, please relax, I will take him away from here but please come down for me, see you tomorrow ok." I fell into mother's Diana's hands crying like a child "Honey calm down please" " maa, why now? he's the last person I want to see. " "sweetheart you didn't even let the man speak, how would you know what he wants? " "I don't care, I've had such a hard time because of him" " no... honey that's not fair, you don't know what he has also been through since the incident, calm down" "mummy where is Tom and uncle James? " Renee asked " my dear they left" " left already but he promised to play knight with me one more time. " "who dear? " "Tom" she answered with a spark in her eyes "mum why are you crying? " "nothing sweetie, I have something in my eyes, go on now mom will put you to sleep " "ok mama love you" " love you too sweetheart " "you know she's going to find out sooner or later" Stacy said " yes I know and that is what I'm scared "I said standing" what do you plan to do anyway, because from the looks of things that is not going to be the last time you see him. " "I'm so confused, I think I need to sleep over this first. " "ok then see you tomorrow" I spent the night rolling from the left side of the bed to my right, as much as I hated him he was still Renee's father and he has all the right in the world to her, but I couldn't bear him, I mean he disrespected me but what's best for Renee should be my priority.
I'm going to see her again, do you have her job address? "Tom from the looks of things she doesn't want to see you again" " and you think that will push me away? no way, after knowing I have a daughter " "Tom........ " "I know I messed up back then, but I was also affected by the incident and I'm not ready to lose anyone anymore. she can ignore me when she sees me but I'm not going to allow her to stop me from seeing my seed. " "so what do you plan on doing? " "I'm going to talk to her, if it doesn't work then we will see from there, please give me the address. " "on one condition, promise me you won't mess it up. " "I promise" " God Lizzy is going to kill me. "
Just like all the other weeks this one too slide Away very quickly. there wasn't much difference except for the fact that Tom had reappeared in my life again. I was surprised he never came back to see Renee or me. well I thought he will try to mend things but it seems not. "why are you hurt that he hasn't come or called Lissy...... don't tell me..... " "no that is impossible, I hate him..... it's just Renee has been asking of him since the party. I think they really had a connection. "so Renee is the reason why you are worried" she said sarcastically. Stacy got me thinking, I know I hate him with all my heart so, why did it hurt when he's not doing anything to get close to us. "please I need the apartment ready before the end of today , I'm moving in tomorrow. thank you please, do so, I trust you. "Tom dropped his phone down. "Tom are you moving out of the house? "no mom, I'm moving out of the City " "to where?" " to Accra, Mum I just found out I have a daughter and I need to win her and her mother over. " "but you should have discussed this with your dad and I. " "really because you 've been asking me to move and when I'm finally doing it too, you don't want me to" " no it's not that, but this is too sudden, when are you moving? " "tomorrow " "tomorrow is too quick " "Mum as I already told you I have a motive to leave for again and I'm not wasting my time. say bye to Dad for me when he comes back from his trip. tell him his immatured son has finally grown up. " "you are not listening to me Tom.... " "mum I'm moving out tomorrow and that's final. if you will excuse me, I still have some packing to do. goodnight"
"Sweetheart are you done? " "I am just rapping up." "Lissy have you decided what to do with Tom? " "mum the guy is a loser he got to know he has a daughter and he just disappeared, he's not serious " "Lissy, if I remember correctly you told him you don't want to see him and you said a lot of mean things. " "I know but....... " "but what he is giving you space. " "I don't need space, I want him to beg " "hold on it wasn't his fault.... ok it happened to both of you under the influence of bad people so, he has nothing to apologize for any never he knew you got pregnant. I mean just because he treated you badly doesn't mean that describes him forever, you don't know the situation he was in back then, so just allow him some room, okay at least promise me you think about it. " "yes" " for now please close the laptop cause you need your rest for tomorrow's drama at your parents place. " "you're right Mum, goodnight and have a sound sleep. tomorrow is a new day. "only if I knew what was installed for us, I would have not wish to see tomorrow.
this Saturday look like a normal Saturday, the sun was very bright and the brids are singing everywhere the grass smell fresh and no one thought the day and with such a tragedy. It was just the perfect day for a family picnic, I wish I had gone on one of these picnic With mother Diana. it was a beautiful day that I didn't last long soon it was evening I had to go to my parents house for the celebration. I didn't understand the reason why the put the celebration in the evening but It was their house their rules. I left saying goodbye to Mother Diana thinking I would see her again on my way I had a call from my neighbour saying mother Diana was attacked by armed men and she was in a critical condition in the hospital. the police told to me "this is probably a Robbery, they thought no one was in the house but unfortunately your mother was there and they had to attack her so she can speak up. " I was too Lost in my thoughts to even listen to what the policeman had to say, I mean I have lost Irena someone very dear to me, how can I cope with this? I can't afford to lose mother Diana. all I had now was my faith and hope of her surviving. The doctor said she needed more blood for her and it turns out our blood has the same characteristics. I donated as much blood as I could she was finally stable. the doctor so curious about the reasons why our blood had the same characteristics performed a paternity test without my knowledge, she later told me she found something really strange with our blood. " God please help mother Diana " I prayed. Stacy agreed to watch Renee so I was at ease" I know I didn't know her much but she seemed to be a good person, how is her condition" I heard a male voice my behind me, I turned and to my surprise it was Tom" what are you doing here and how did you even know I was here? are you stalking me"" calm down please I'm actually going to start working here from Monday. So l cam to check the place out and I heard everything from the nurse. " "I thought you were working in tema. " "I quit the job and I moved here" "why? " "do you really have to ask? you didn't think I was going to give up that easily did you? enough about me how's your mom's condition? " "she's stable now, I hope she gets through this. she can't just leave me alone."
