I am literally going to a destination that I do not know anything about.
The only person I know that does not know what has happened to me is J.J.
I am very sure that he does not know what happened.
I think I know where to go.
Today is.
U do not know what today is.
Should I go to the bank to get some cash?
Will anyone recognize me?
Will anyone notice?
No, I do not think so.
I rarely go to the bank.
Who goes to the bank these days when you can literally do almost everything online.
I really need some cash.
I need to know about Genevieve's whereabouts too.
I do not know if she even tried to save me or if she just abandoned me there to die.
Ugh!
I can't say I hate my life anymore, not after what I have been through recently.
I have to go to the bank now.
I need to get some cash.
I need food, because I am fucking hungry.
A nice place to spend the night. I can afford it.
I need a shower too, I smell horrible.
I use the Standard Bank Of England.
They have branches all over the place.
I just need to find one.
I hope my account has not been freezed.
Anyways,the only way to find out is to go find out.
I walked out of the hospital premises and crossed the road.
Then my search began.
I walked around for about thirty minutes before I saw their logo board across one of the streets of the main road junctions.
I entered the street and started walking towards the bank.
I was about just three blocks away from the bank building when I saw Mike, my step dad. What was he doing here?
I hope it's not what I am thinking.
I entered the entrance of the houses to hide.
I do not want to be seen.
It's getting dark, the bank will soon be closed.
I do not want to miss my chance and I can't come out either.
He might see me and he will definitely recognize me.
He will definitely run for his life.
I do not want to cause a scene here.
I have to wait for him to leave first before coming outside.
I checked again to see if he had left, just then I saw him hugging a lady.
That is not my mom.
It's another lady.
What?
How dare he.
I checked again to confirm.
I was right.
It is another lady.
It is not my mom.
This is a younger lady.
She should be in her mid twenties.
Just then, they started to walk towards me.
I have to hide well in order not to get caught.
I just had a change of plans.
I have to tail them and listen to everything they are saying.
I have to save mom.
"I do not believe you," the lady said to Mike.
I do not want to assume anything yet.
What if they are just friends?
Or
What if Mike is her father's friend?
Who knows.
The best way to know is to find out.
They stopped right in front of the house where I was hiding.
"Believe me. She died yesterday." He said to her, grinning.
Is he happy because I died?
"Seriously?" She asked him.
"Yes," he said to her.
"Do you have proof?" She asked him.
"Yes, I do have proof." He brought out his phone and showed her an image of me when I was lifeless, of my lifeless body.
"It's a lie, she was probably sleeping when you took those pictures of her."
"Why is there nothing blocking her nostrils and ears?" She asked him.
Hmmm.
She is really a rough one.
"Her mother asked the hospital not to put those things on her daughter." He said to her,
On her daughter?
Seriously?
Wow!
"I am not buying that." She said to him, angrily.
"Okay. I have another proof."
"Here is a video of my wife crying." He said to her,
Seriously?
Does he know what he is doing?
Is he out of his mind?
Does he seriously want to show a video of my mom crying to a stranger?
Ugh!
I can't believe this.
I am so disappointed in him.
He then brought out his phone again to show her a video.
What the …. Hell.
He seriously did it.
I can't believe what I am seeing right now.
"Your wife?" She asked him.
What the fuck is this bitch saying?
Of course,yes. She is his wife.
Not just his wife. A noble Lady.
"Yes, my wife." He replied to her.
Boom!
She slapped him.
"What?" He asked her.
"What is what?" She asked him.
"How dare you hit me?" He asked her and raised his hand to hit her back, but he didn't.
He almost did.
"You want to hit me?" She asked and then laughed softly.
"Go ahead and hit me." She said and grinned, then kissed her teeth.
"You are lucky that I am still grieving for my other daughter. I would have done it without even bothering to think twice." He said to her and started to walk away.
"If you walk out on me. I will tell your wife everything." She said to him and he stopped walking.
"I will tell her that you are not sterile. I will tell her that you do not intend to build a family with her." She threatened him.
"I will also tell her that you are just after her name and wealth."
"I will tell her the truth that my mother is no doctor, but your ex wife."
"I am your fucking daughter too. I am your first child. I am your heiress." She said and started crying.
He walked back to her and hugged her.
"I am sorry honey." He said and was about patting her on the back.
She pulled herself away from him, wiped her tears and slapped him again.
"How dare you hit your father?" He asked, yelling at her. He was very angry.
"My father?" She asked as she resumed crying again.
"You are not my fucking father."
"You have never been around for me."
"You have spent all your miserable life with that bitch." She said to him and started walking away.
"Wait, Mirabella." He said to her and ran after her.
Thank God.
I came out of my hiding a bit, so that I could see them.
He caught up with her.
They were not very far from me, so I could still hear them.
"What for?" She asked him and made an attempt to walk out on him again,but he was faster.
He grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him.
"Don't you dare walk out on me again." He warned her.
"You hear me?" He asked her.
That only made her cry the more.
"See honey, I love you and your mama."
"I swear, but things have not been easy with me either," he said to her.
"Will things be easier now that she is dead?" She asked him,but before he could reply to her,she added.
"I hope it will be now."
"Am sorry. I guess your mom has already explained everything to you. You should understand." He assured her.
"Understand?" She asked him and he just nodded in response.
"Understand what?" She asked him, as more tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Just put up with me for now." He said to her,
"I promise, it will soon be over." He added.
"You have been telling my mom that same thing, even before I was born." She said to him,
She did not let him say anything, as she added.
"So tell me."
"When will it finally be over?"
"Is it after I get married?"
"Or when I die just like her too?" She asked him.
"No,sweetheart." He said to her,
"I am not your sweetheart." She said to him,
"I have never been." She added.
"No you are."
"You have always been."
"And you will always be." He said to her and kissed her forehead.
That kiss belongs to me and me alone.
But there's nothing I can do now.
I do not want to intervene.
Why am I feeling jealous?
Why am I suddenly heart broken?
"Okay," she said and shrugged.
"How about I make it up to you?" He asked her.
"How?"
"How do you want to make it up to you?" She asked me.
"How about I give you her money."
"All of it." He said to her,
"Whose money?" She asked.
"Eunices," he replied to her.
What?
My money?
How dare he?
No way.
I shall not let that happen.
"When?" She asked him.
"Minimum,a month from now." He said to her,
"A month?" She asked and he nodded in reply.
"That's a very long time." She added.
"Can you compare it to all these years that I have been waiting for these opportunities to come?" He asked her.
"No." She said as she shook her head at the same time.
"Okay," he said to her.
"The only thing that I want you to do is to trust me, all right?" He asked.
She just nodded in response.
"But…." She suddenly became out of words.
"But what?" He asked her.
"I shall be getting married before the end of this year." She said to him,
"Really?" He asked, excitedly.
"To who?" He asked her.
"That's where the problem comes in." She said to him,
"Problem?" He asked.
"What problem?" He asked, concerned.
"My fiance is a commoner like us, but his family does not support our union, because they want him to marry a noble Lady." She said to him,
She was obviously sad, but still.
I do not care.
"Oh."
"I see where you are going." He said to her and laughed softly.
"What do you think it is that I am trying to say?" She asked him.
"You want me to give you her name, right?" He asked and chuckled.
"Whose name do you think i'm talking about?" She asked and pouted.
"The dead girl's name." He replied.
"Yes father." She said and then smiled at him.
That bitch.
"Father?"
"Did you just call me father?" He asked her, surprised.
I guess this is the first time that she is calling him father.
"Aren't you my father?" She asked.
"Of course, I am. I am your father." He replied to her, laughed.
He seemed very and super excited.
"Jokes apart honey, it would not be easy for you to replace the dead girl. You will need her mom's permission to replace her." He explained to her.
"Why?"
"Why is that necessary?" She asked.
"But you are her husband." She said,
That fucking bitch.
I feel like punching her in the face, right now.
"There are many reasons." He said to her,
"Reasons?" She asked.
"What fucking reasons?"
"List them."
"I want to fucking hear them." She said angrily.
Is she really willing to reap from where she did not sow?
This crazy bitch.
"First thing first, she is not your mother." He said to her,
"I can't even call her your stepmother, because you are not related in any fucking way."
"Another thing is that she is the gentry and not me. I am only rich, but I am not from a noble home."
"I am a self made billionaire."
"And lastly, you can never be her daughter."
"You can never replace her." He said, shouting at the top of his voice
"How dare you." She said and slapped him again, for the third time.
Woah!
That's a real ass bitch.
I laughed softly.
She can never be a lady.
She can never replace me.
She is older than me and very ugly.
Ugh!
Thank God he even knows that his miserable daughter can never and will never be me.
I chuckled again, as I watched them with pleasure.
"Wait." He said.
I stopped laughing,as if he was talking to me.
"I have another plan." He said.
