"OH, look at you, you are finally here." Valentina said walking down the stairs. "OH look at my lovely grandson, he has grown so much over the years, you rarely visit us." She said pinching Ian's cheek. "OH my goodness, she is beautiful, is this your wife?" She asked looking at Amara who was standing next to Ian. She was wearing red tight long-sleeved dress, with black high heels, her hair was tied into a ponytail. "Yes, her name is Sabrina." Ian said. "Wow, you look lovely honey, you can call me grandma, I thought that Lacey was exaggerating, now I see that she wasn't you really are divine." Valentina said. "Thank you grandma." Amara said, still feeling uncomfortable not being called by her original name. "Come, it's time for dinner." She said escorting them to the ding hall.
They got to the dining hall and they sat down. The dining hall was big and beautiful, there were two yellow and green chandeliers. The dining table and chairs were black. The floor tile was black and yellow, the walls were painted in yellow and green. "Ian, did your taste in women change, you have got a bad taste in women now don't you."Emma said."What do you mean by that aunt." Ian asked. "Well I mean, your previous wives looked much better than you and they had jobs, but her she is just staying at home and doing nothing." Emma said. That felt like a stab in the heart for Amara, why was all this happening to her, it is not like everything happening to her now is her fault. She could feel tears threatening to leave her eyes, but she bit her lip to stop herself from crying. "Well the thing is, I don't want a wife who has a job and who comes home late, well Sabrina had a job but I made her resign because I wanted her at home all the time, and I love spoiling her." He said. "Emma do you find yourself attractive." Lacey asked with a smile on her face. "Of course I am attractive, I don't need you to ask me or tell me." Emma said. "If you think you are so attractive then why are you still single." Lacey asked with a smirk on her face. That really struck a nerve for Emma, she thought that being single wasn't bad but when someone like Lacey rubbs it in your face, it stings like a bee."What, cat caught your tongue? Don't take it to heart cousin in law, I was just saying that you can't go around telling people that they have bad taste in women because I am sure you don't taste so good." Lacey said. "Lacey that's enough." Charles said. "What, it wasn't my fault she started it, I'm just putting her in her place." Lacey said shrugging her shoulders. "Just sto arguing okay, Emma please don't...just stop causing trouble." Charles said rubbing his temple, this is not what he was expecting things to go. "Charles can i have a word with you after we are done eating." Valentina said, from the look on her face Charles could tell that he wasn't going to hear some good news. "Okay." He said and they all continued eating.
"What did you want to talk about?" He said seating down on the chair, in the study. She sat down next to him. "I got a call today." Valentina said. "From who?" He asked. "From your mother." Valentina said. "Who? Aren't you my only mother." Charles said. "Charles, look I know that you hate her but she is the woman that brought you into the world." Valentina said. "Wait, you said that you got a call from her, how is that even possible, isn't she supposed to be dead." Charles asked confused. "No, I thought that I was hearing things, but I wasn't it was her, your mother." Valentina said. "You must be hearing things." Charles not wanting to believe that the woman that ruined his childhood was still alive. "I am dead serious, it was her." Valentina said. Charles sighed. "Let's confirm it first... Just do not let anyone know okay." He Saud and Valentina nodded her head.
"Charles are you okay?" Lacey asked. She found Charles standing on the balcony looking up at the sky, his eyes seemed watery. It seemed as though he had been crying for a little while now. "I don't know." He said softly. "Come sit... What is wrong, why are you crying." Lacey asked. It was rare to see her husband in a situation like this, even if his loved one died he would just stay strong and hide the pain. "Come on hubby just tell me what the problem is." Lacey said a worried, but Charles remained quiet. His quietness just made Lacey worry even more worried. Charles took a deep breath. "She's back." He said softly. "Who?" Lacey asked confused. "That woman... My...mother, I thought that she was dead... She is back, Lacey she is back, I don't know what to do Lacey, I just don't." He said crying and throwing himself in her arms. This was a big shock. "Hubby are you sure." Lacey asked. That's the question that was on his mind, why was he crying, he hadn't confirmed it yet, but he us here crying like a baby. He did not answer her he just closed his eyes remembering all the horrible things that she did to him, she made his childhood a living hell, he did not know what it was like to be loved by a mother, he did not enjoy his life at all, he so wished that someone would come and erase that part of his life from his brain. What if he was wrong? What if it was not her? What if Valentina had heard it all wrong? What if it was a prank? Yes, maybe it was a prank.
In Ian's, Amara and Ian were both sitting on his bed. "Ian." Amara said. "Yes?"Ian said looking at Amara. " Is there, someway I could get myself a job. "Amara asked." Why do you suddenly want a job, is it because of what Emma said to you. "Ian asked. "No, I just want a job, so that I can have something of my own." She said. "And here I thought that you despised me."He said." I do DESPISE you. "She said. "Then why are you asking me for help." Ian asked. "Who am I supposed to ask if not the man that wants to control my every move." She said. "Well, you could become one of my componies' model." He said. "Model? Aren't you worried that...." Before she could finish he cut her off. "No, nobody will find out as long as you do what I tell you to do, you can start next month, anyway I'm going to sleep right now, I have to go somewhere tomorrow morning." He said, and with that he went to sleep.
