He came back as he took my bag
"you don't have to be jealous over little things"he said
"I wasn't"I replied
"Fine let's go, we're going home first before we go to dad's house"he said as we entered the car.
He didn't even care if we were seen or not,the drive home was smooth, Preston wouldn't let go of my hands for one minute.as soon as we got home the maids rushed out taking our bags.
"Go get changed,we are going to dad's now"he said as we walked inside.
He took another staircase,I went straight upstairs to change, before his so serious that means it's very important.
I searched for clothes aimlessly,I finally settled for a plainted mini skirt with a shape line,then black checked shirt with flowers design on it,I parked my hair in a ponytail then I corled the tip,I wore my flats and also carried my knee length cross bag and I was set to go.i came outside only to meet him already standing by my door already waiting for me.
He changed too but instead he wore an oversized black hoodie,his hair fell on his face,he looks cute tho.we entered a Porsche car as we drove out.
"You have to promise me that whatever happens, you'll be strong for me"he said looking at my eyes
"You're making me scared, nothing's gonna happen"I replied
"No you have to promise me"he said
"Okay I promise"I said a little scared.
Did something really happened,he kissed my lips then he intwined our hands when we drove in.there were so many cars parked around like something's going on, there's really something going on.
I looked around confused are we having a party or something,he held me to himself the more,I looked at him and he gave me a reassuring smile.
As we entered the first person I met was my mom,now am completely confused nevertheless I rushed to her with a hug but she was not returning it as cheerful.
"Mom who brought you here"I asked but she smiled that was when I looked around.
Iris, Westly, Kimber,mom,dad and Mr Leeland were all seated quietly something really seems off and Mr Leeland why is he looking at me like that.
Preston came to us taking me away as I sat down close to him,he still held into my hands very tightly.
The suspense was getting too intense when finally Preston's dad finally spoke up.
"Umm Jollie you must be wondering why everyone is gathered here"he said not really expecting an answer
"I'll tell you a story and you have to tell me your sincere answer"he said again.
"So a misunderstanding happened a couple while they already had a child with them,so he drove the woman away not allowing her to carry that child with her,but knowingly to him his wife was pregnant.to cut the long story short.he finally found out the truth and wants his family back to be reunited.if you were to be that lost child what will you do"he asked directing the question to me
I was really confused why is he speaking in parables
"Umm I'll be angry for a while but I'll forgive him because he's still my father "I replied
"Jollie I hope you will be true to your word "Preston's mom said, god someone should tell me what's happening.
Mom stood up walking towards me
"Jollie,my princess please forgive me for lying to you,I didn't know what to do then,I had to protect you, please forgive me"she said crying
"Mom no stop,I can't get angry at you, you've always been nice to me why would I get angry at you"i asked
"I want to tell you the truth"she said again
What truth is she talking about
She wipes the tears which were falling on her face.
"When I was with your dad,we were not really rich but we were contended with what we had,I had you sister,but suddenly your dad confronted me that I was cheating so he drove me out of the house when he knew I was pregnant with you.
I had to struggle to take care of you praying you wouldn't have to go through all these.
But unknowingly to me your dad rose up and was doing well financially,but he didn't want to have anything to do with me again.
Mr Smith my very good friend took us in and acted like your father,so you won't grow up without a dad.
He wasn't Happy with the way we were living so he went to look for your dad, telling him that he hadn't anything to do with me that you are his child,but you dad still didn't believe,so he took your favorite comb and the DNA test confirmed that you were his blood.
I was happy you got to finally meet you sister after long years.
"Iris come"she said to iris
I opened my mouth in shock as my tears poured out nonstop to.
"Iris here is your sister,when she was little,she always told me to give her a younger sister,I finally got her that wish because I love her,but we couldn't stay together "she said
Wait I don't understand am I going mad or something
Mr Leeland was already on his knees
"Jollie am really sorry "he continued pleading nonstop.
"Wait so...you mean Mr Smith isn't my real father and iris is my sister and Mr Leeland is my father "I asked trying to reprocess everything into my head
My mom nodded,I didn't even know when I lost balance,but thankfully Preston caught me on time,he carried me up as he took me upstairs to his room,then he sat me down on the bed.
"Babe you promised to be strong for me"he said
"Look at me"he said again raising my head up
"It's not your mom's or dad's fault,he just taught she cheated, it's just a misunderstanding okay "he said again,I don't know whether he was trying to encourage me.
"Look if things hadn't had gone that way maybe I wouldn't have falling in love with you, because I'll think you're spoilt like the other girls,so baby it's fate okay "he said still squatting in front of me.
"Should I take you home "he asked
But a knock interrupted us,he opened the door and someone came in,he left closing the door behind us.
"My princess am so sorry,I never really mean to,I looked for you when I leant the truth.i really regretted my actions.i searched for you day and night.but when I finally found you but I couldn't come close because my heart keeps judging me a lot please forgive me sweetheart.
Iris joined"Jollie please forgive dad and me too,am really sorry "she said crying.
I stood up as I embraced iris then dad, we went downstairs,
"phew it was easier than I taught"Preston's dad said and they laughed.now am a Leeland and also a Williams
"A MONTH LATER"
I rushed down the stairs as I entered into the car, chole has been on my neck for the past week but I really don't care,the driver drove off to school and I had already changed my name to Leeland,I was happy my family is united and adding to the fact that my dad owns part or should I say Preston's dad and mine are share holders of the school,but I have to keep it a secret from everyone
I rushed into class as I too my seat,it was like the lectural was so quick that I couldn't wait to get home because valentine is a week away.
I left the class but chole,kister and some other girls blocked my way and we were in the hallway what am I going to do.
I tried walking away but they blocked me again.
"Have told you lots of times to stay away from my boyfriend"chole shouted
"Chole please stop"I said slowly
"Hun you even have the gust to take back to her"kister said as she pushed me
That was it,I slapped her hard across the face,I turned to chole
"Stay away from me"I said as I tried walking away.
Instead she dragged me by my hair, causing me to fall to the ground,the hall was already crowded
"So you think hiding in the wings of iris will save you"she said mockingly
I stood up angry written all over me
"Iris has nothing to do with this, when the truth is out we'll know who the slut is here"I replied and the whole hall gasped
"How dare you"she said as she slapped me across the face
I slapped her twice,the girls dragged me cutting my bag,my phone dropped and it seems like Preston was calling.
"Oh I think one of her clients is calling her now"kister said causing everybody to murmur.
"I'll answer it"she said again putting it on loud speaker
"Babe where are you the hallway is crowded I can't come"he said through the phone.everywhere became quite
"I'll take that"Kimber said behind me,she collected the phone from her
"Her Preston, Jollie isn't feeling too well can you come to the hallway"she said and ended the call.
Iris was visibly angry as she slapped chole.
"How many times have I warned you to stay away from my sister "iris shouted as everywhere became silent.
"Now I have a special announcement, Jollie is Mr Leeland lost daughter and she's engaged to my brother"Kimber said everybody was shocked.
Preston didn't even look at anyone as he walked straight to me.
"What happened "he asked when he saw my bag and stuff's scattered around.
"Can someone tell me what's fucking going on here"he asked no one in particular
"Am fucking asking a question"he said sounding more harshly,he bent down as he picked my phone
"Who did this"he asked looking at me,"iris Kimber can someone tell me"he asked again
"No one's leaving if nobody is going to tell me"he said as a guard brought me a chair,he dragged me to himself
"Babe what happened"he asked
"Let's go home"I replied
"Umm Preston I'll talk"Kimber finally said
"They were bullying your girlfriend"she said pointing to chole, kister and her friends...
