" We are heading to your home. " The driver said as he started the car.
" Aren't we supposed to go to Wong's place ? " Alyssa asked but anyway she was glad to be back at her house .
" No , He said he will pick you himself. " The driver reported and started the car.
ON arriving, she changed into some nicer clothes and called driver Mark to pick her.
Clad in a white one arm tight dress and black heels , Alyssa went to her living room to wait when the door bell rung. Sure that it was Mark , She hurried and opened the door for him .
" Alyssa , You are really back ? " Mark asked exited.
" Yes...Am back. "
" Oh , Am really sorry that I didn't get a chance to attend your wedding. Congratulations please ! " Mark said sincerely.
" No need to apologise. And thank you .." Alyssa said softly a smile on her face.
" I miss seeing my workmates , Let's hurry to the company. " Alyssa said before they both left.
At EE
Everyone welcomed her with hugs and smiles at the company. They were all glad that their friend was married and Alyssa kept her fake smile to show that all was well.
" So why didn't you come to visit us with your husband ? " One of the girls asked.
" You know he's too busy. But one day I will ask him to come. " Alyssa lied with a beam.
" My God ! I wish I were you . " Another girl said cocking a brow at Alyssa.
" About what ? " Alyssa inquired.
" Look , You were the winner of the acting awards just a few months ago and look at yourself now you got married to a very rich and known man. " The girl exclaimed.
Alyssa looked at the girl with a corner of a smile before looking back at the girl.
" Guys , You can't understand a situation unless it's your turn to face it.." Alyssa said but most of them didn't understand her but just looked with puzzled faces.
" Please enjoy , I will take my leave now. " Alyssa quickly said to change the topic and left with Mark.
" Where is Herman ? " She asked after realizing that she hadn't seen Herman since she came to the company.
" He hasn't come since you got married. " Mark replied.
" Oh...I will go pay a visit at his house. " Alyssa had just said when she heard a voice behind them.
" No need to .." The voice said and both Alyssa and Mark turned to look to find it was Herman himself.
" Herm ? " Alyssa called and hurried to give Herman a hug.
" I really missed you ! " Herman said he caressed her hair.
" I missed you more . " Alyssa gasped .
After these words the two friends parted from the hug and smiled at each other. They got somewhere to sit and started jazzing.
" How was your honeymoon ? " Herman asked.
" There was no honeymoon.." Aly simply replied.
" Are you serious about this ? " Herman asked taking it for a joke
" Of course . I was just staying at someone's place. " Aly added.
" Oh...That's good to hear. "

At the Wong's Mansion.
The next morning , Calcel as usual got up ready for work. He knew that he's father was returning home today and it was obvious that he was coming with his new wife.
" Good morning Calcel ! " Jenny greeted.
" Good morning .. What is it ? " Calcel asked .
" Your father just called. He asked me to inform you that he's coming today. "
" I know .." Calc answered.
" He wants you to come early for dinner tonight. " Jenny said.
" Really ? "
" Yes..Madam Alyssa will be there too. " Jenny said.
" I knew she was coming. But tell my father that I won't make it and besides that , I have some important work to finish. " Calcel said before leaving off.
Jenny didn't say anything. She knew Calcel very well and she understood that he never went back on his words. She heaved a sigh before going back to her work.

At Alyssa's apartment...
That evening , Alyssa finally got a call from David. He informed her to send all her belongings to the Mansion and now she understood that she was finally going to stay with him.
" Mom , Mr Wong asked me to go at his house. " Alyssa informed Gladys after fully packing her things.
" Does this mean that you are really going to start living with him ? " Gladys asked.
" That's obvious. I am really scared .." Alyssa said her eyes starting to tear.
Gladys moved closer and gave her a hug.
" Dear , It's all my fault. If it wasn't my my debt maybe things wouldn't have turned up like this. " Gladys said also sobbing.
" Mom , Don't blame your self. " Alyssa said and parted from the hug to look at Gladys face .
" Nothing can change Mom. I already signed the contract willingly so don't blame. yourself. Am sure everything will be fine. " Alyssa said and hugged Gladys again.
" I understand you dear. But wherever you will be , I will always love you. "
" Love you more Mom. " Alyssa said.
Gladys smiled and then said. " Let's get ready to go. "
" Sure.."

Everything was set already when David arrived. He refreshed up and dressed up well ready for the dinner.
He was still in his room when the door knocked.
" Who is that ? " He asked.
" It's Jenny sir.. Madam Alyssa and her mother are here already. " Jenny said.
" Welcome them inside. I will be there soon. "
" Okay sir. "
Alyssa and Gladys were already in the living room.
" Thanks for coming. Mr Wong will be here soon.." Jenny said with a smile after coming back to them.
" Ah.." Alyssa just replied. She was just there when Clere came running to her with a smile.
" Aunty Alyssa ? " Clere called jumping into Alyssa's embrance.
" How are you baby ? " Alyssa asked.
" Am fine..I really missed you. " Clere said.
" I missed you too dear. " Alyssa replied.
" I see you are getting along ! " David commented while he approached them but he was loud enough for them to hear.
" Mr Wong ? " Gladys was the first to call as she gave him a hand shake.
" Thanks for coming.." David said before he sat down.
" Daddy , Is Aunty Alyssa going to start staying here ? " Clere asked.
" Of course. She will.." David answered.
