Chapter 3 - CHAPTER THREE: GOING HOME

As soon as she enters the car, she finds her dad seated at the opposite side and asks her ,"So when did you learn to play basketball. I knew your mom did but I didn't know that you'd become a pro like her at seventeen yet she became that good at 21." "I started training when I was seven and got accepted into the town's junior team at around ten and that's how my career began but enough about me why did you choose to come when I'm 17 why not earlier and if you had other kids would you have come for me?" she asked."I would." Is the only answer he gave. "Is that you are to say an 'I would ' not yeah I would then give some reason let's just go dude you're hopeless."She said furiously. "Look Adria, even though I tell you the reason you might think I'm just making up excuses so all you should know I that I would've come for you."He told her calmly. "Just tell me the f**king fact and it'll be up to me to believe it or not." She insisted. "You're the offspring of the love between me and your mom . When our parents didn't let us remain or be together you were the one who is the living evidence of the love and besides the woman my parents forced me to get married to had carried out tubligation and had married me for the money I didn't sleep with her much because we didn't feel like it and a month after my parents' death we divorced so I lack kids and I'm single besides I feel it's the best and appropriate time to show you around the company since you're graduating in business." He explained. "Okay." Adria replied scratching her head because it was alot but anyway that's none of her business she getting this money and no one will stand in her way.

As soon as she got out of the car, she was dumbstruck but also happy because this was also gonna be in the will. Questions flooded in her head like,' Why would anyone have a fountain in their yard in the middle of the pool'? There were alot of things behind the gates . She was really vagabonded that she couldn't surpass it so just to be sure she asked,"Mr Martinez are we at the right _" "This is your home we are at the right place which is also yours."Alexander Martinez replied her midquestion. Then they moved on and entered the house and she couldn't believe it she still thought it was a dream so she pinched herself just to prove. She was really happy but she still found it hard to forgive her dad despite the fact that he paid for her needs. As she was still gaping she regained her senses when she saw a blue eyed blonde who looked to be in her late thirties. "Mornin' ma'am let me show you to your room." So she turned and raised her eyebrow as if asking who the hell is she and should I follow. So her dad told her," Adria this is Maria a worker here you can follow her I'll join you guys later." So she followed Maria who after climbing two flights of stairs led her to a brown door that had 'DONT ENTER UNLESS YOU ARE ME. (Adria)' And she liked those words but when they opened the door she couldn't know which emotion to feel because this room explained her very well. It was a black painted room with gray clouds on the ceiling, paintings of her and her mom on either side of the room, a small family photo that was taken when she was still a toddler , a basketball hoop on the wall facing her bed a TV a door to her closet room and bathroom all self contained. "Do you like it?"Her dad asked from the door entry. "Yes, very much but where did you get my pictures and how in the world did you know my taste?" She asked. "Took pics of you when you were playing in your games wen u were around eleven your mom didn't know about it of course and the others a magician never tells their secret. Also before my ex wife or parents could object I told them you were the only kid I had and it's my right."

A pang of guilt hit her and she wondered why she was still hating this guy so she took unsure steps towards her dad and hugged him. At first Alex was surprised but ended up hugging her back. Maria just excused herself after she was done arranging Adria's stuff. Ale always dreamt of such a moment in his life so after the hug he went to his office and noted it down because he knew he was left with little time and he had to spend it with his daughter. Adria went to her closet and it was filled with all the trends she always wanted to buy but couldn't get the time to do so. Her bathroom had a large round tab in the middle a shower in a corner, another corner had a toilet a sink in the middle of the wall next to the door , above the sink a cupboard with a mirror on its doors it had sanitary towels (the comfortable ones) dental kit and all the hygiene items needed. Content with those, she went back to her bed lay on it and thought about how great this all was. She was interrupted by a call from her mom. She turned it into a video call and her mom knew she had left her daughter in good arms but just to be sure she asked a series of things such as,"How are they treating you,is the water okay, have you eaten ye_?" "Mum stop with the questions I'm ok ." She said laughing at her mom's overprotective instinct. "That's great, so how is it there?" "It's great mom dad for some reason knew my taste look at this." She switched to camera mode and showed her. "Wow impressive, you dad has outdone himself this time look at that but where did he get your pics?" "I don't know."Adria lied. "Oh, BTW dad has texted me I have to be down in 10minutes for breakfast better go shower Love you mum bye." "Love you too my dear." Then she hung up
