"Am sorry Olivia for leaving you and your father all this while " my mom said trying her best to hold her tears as she sniffed in continuously.... I moved closer to her and tapped her back
"Mummy has to stop crying it's all past already, we just have to take you back with us so we can protect you better," I said
" protect me from what …..what are you trying to protect me from is it just the car accident that happened maybe the fuel leak or something happen that was why the car had such an accident, " my mum asked I smiled back at her
" you won't understand but these few years Dad's work has been a little bit bumpy so he has been having issues with some of his clients I think one of them is trying to threaten him but now is getting too serious because they killed two people that we know and we have talked to, so he is threatening your life next " I explained to my mom who covers her mouth in total shock
"So what are we still doing here, let's leave as soon as possible….. it's getting more dangerous the more we wait " my mum said…. she hurriedly went upstairs I stare back at Liam who shrugs
"your mum is very smart that I'm sure of," he said to me
" But how did you cope so many years without her " Liam asked
"I don't know I just made sure not to think too much about her, and concentrate more on my studies and I'm happy now that she's with me and I won't let her go no matter what she and my dad have to solve everything and come back together I think that is the best thing right now," I said to Liam
"Now you are being very wise," Liam said smiling back at me I was already proud of myself Liam was finally smiling at me again whenever he smiles at m, e and very sure I'm doing the right thing
The ride back home was smooth and I was very grateful for whatever the executioner is planning I thank God none of it worked until I reached home
The minute I could see the villa from afar, I became so happy. This is all thanks to Liam who never lost guard on both of us.
"Finally you guys are home…. I was so worried you guys will never make it….. I was in a very hectic situation I thank god that you guys could finally make it" my dad said the minute we stepped in hugging me
I could feel the awkwardness between him and my mother as they stared at each other one of them saying anything to the other so I decided to come in between them
"Dad come on Mum is just coming after so many years and you guys are just staring at each other I think you two should shake hands or hug, something," I said to my dad who smiles
"It's been so long that I don't even know what to do when your mother's present" he whispered to me she smiled at me and dads way of gossiping
" You don't have to be awkward, it's not like we are enemies….. we just didn't see each other for a very long time and we knew what happened was a mistake," said my mum I said
I stared at both of them. It's been more than 10 years since I saw the two of them in an enclosed space and it seemed awkward this, few years my dad has been so concentrated on his work as a judge that he never had any time for anyone other than me.
"Dad can I have a word with you "I said to my dad
" Sure no problem let's talk somewhere " he replied as we went into the veranda I sat down and tapped the space beside me for him to join me
" Dad, are we going to keep acting or call it what you want… I want you guys to end this thing you know what happened you never moved on Mom did not move on either ….so none of you guys cheated on anyone why don't you guys come back together" I said to him who chuckled
"It is not as easy as you think, coming back together isn't as easy as you make it seem, "my dad said looking into the sitting room through the window I stared back at what he was looking at and it was my mother
"You two still love each other, I know that so you guys shouldn't make it this awkward, o begin with," I said
he smiles again ….." I will try to give it another chance if it will work out but I would not force things if your mother still wants to be an independent woman then so shall it be," my dad said
" Come on let's go inside, don't want them to think we have started gossiping behind her back just when she arrived," he said I smiled following him back inside the house
"You still have my photos, I lost all these photos when I travel back to London," my mum said showing me a photo frame that was on our desk
"I didn't keep that it was always there so I didn't see any reason to remove it," I said to her
"Well it's still a good thing you left them I thought you hated me so much that you won't even keep a photo of me," she said…I wouldn't ever do that to my mother yes I had always proven to my dad that I despised her but now that she's with me my feelings are different, now all I want is to be with my complete family and the only person between us is the executioner …and he would get
what's coming for him, my rage and want for a happy life
