Giselle and Jasmine went out to simply eat street food, they have been doing that since highschool and they didn't stop. The two of them were best friends and they always shared everything with each other including their secrets and at that point they thought nothing in the world can separate them.
Samuel on the other hand, is also very close with them but he prefers being a mommy's boy. He would always be around he mom and his mom would always pamper him. He was really different among the rest. He was lazy and always bored for some reason .
Chris was in thought. He was trying to make his kids happy but was he wrong? Was he going too far? He was asking himself many questions. And didn't notice his son come in. Samuel came in looking bad. He was kicking things looking around the living room and suddenly kicked the hard wall and regretted it immediately.
He screamed loudly because his toes was hurt. Chris ran to him trying to figure out what happened. "What's wrong son?" He asked worriedly. And instead of answering Samuel stood up and went upstairs. He said nothing and went to his room to apply first aid treatment.
Kimberly didn't like the kids behavior. She wanted her kids to think of Giselle as just a step sister but Jasmine and Samuel lived their sister and never thought of her as a step sister or even treat her bad.
Kimberly was always upset because she thought Giselle was given special treatment by her father. She was greedy but her kids were never like that. The main reason why she went on a vacation was to get away from them because she fought with the two after telling them to open their eyes and see that their future was been held by their father and Giselle but they didn't believe her mainly because it isn't true and they can't be like that to their father and sister.
"I wanna get a job" Giselle said with a mouth full of meat.
"What?!" Jasmine yelled with shock.
"Yeah, I want to. You know, I need experience about life"
"But.... I don't know what to say'' Jasmine whispered.
"Look, Sisi I'll try my best"
"Yeah. I'm rooting for you, big sister "
"Thanks, I knew I could talk to you"
Jasmine looked like she remembered something "what about dad? Won't you tell him?"
Giselle was silent for a while before she said "I will."
"Duh.. be careful ".
*************************************
The girls ran back home before dinner time because they had to prepare dinner for the family but when they got home they saw something shocking.
"TF is dad cooking " Jasmine whispered to Giselle.
"Looks like it"'
"Hey girls you are home. Sit, I'll go call your brother and then we'll all eat together" Chris went upstairs to call his son down and Giselle looked at the food and said "this looks delicious. I didn't know dad could cook."
Everyone ate quietly. No one said anything. Chris hated that kind of silence, so he thought he should break it.
"Hey, why is everyone so quiet?" He asked nervously.
"I don't know about anyone but I have nothing to say" Jasmine said without looking up.
"Are you mad at me?" Chris asked looking sad
"I'm not. How could I be?"
" Look I know I've not been a good dad but you can tell me how I can make it up to y'all" he pleaded.
" Dad I want to get a job" Giselle said plainly.
"I've stopped you and I am the cause of everything that is happening now. So I'll let you do what you want. And I'll be there to support you when something happens. I promise " he finally gave in.
"Dad, I didn't mean to be harsh, so please don't blame yourself for my own bad behavior" Jasmine spoke softly.
"You are all adultsand it's time to explore and do things people your age would do"
Giselle was pleased with what her dad said including the other two.
"Dad does it apply to me too?" Samuel asked wanting to confirm.
"Yes, you deserve to be happy, all of you. And I'll amke sure you that. Just find what will bring you joy and as a supportive father I will help you with whatever you want".
"Thanks dad, I love you " Giselle said with a pretty smile.
"We all do. Ahh... Now can I finally go on dates?"
"Yes, but make sure to not get your hearts broken" Chris said pointing at his girls.
"We'll make sure of it dad"
"Now let's enjoy the good and watch a movie together later". Chris was happy that he chose to let's his children do what they wanted, he didn't want to be a bad father especially now that his children needed him the most
"I'll pick a movie, cause I'm the youngest" There goes mischievous Jasmine.
"What! I'm only two minutes older, it doesn't count" Samuel frowned.
"Oh. I does sad big brother"
"Just wait until I catch you. Who are calling sad."
"Samuel is threatening me. Hold him responsible if something happens to me"
"..."
Giselle started laughing and everyone else followed.
Looks like the happy days are back and the twins are now happy. And for the first time Samuel forgot he had a mother.
*************************************
"I think you should tell your kids to be wise. You husband will end up giving his daughter everything and leave you and your children " Molly said looking at Kimberly who was sitting on the floor obviously tired after a long walk
"I won't let that happen, I would rather kill that girl first. I will never left someone come and take all I've worked for all these years" Kimberly said looking serious.
"Yes, you should stand your ground and show that girl her place. If I was you, I would have sent her away by now" Tasha said as the lay flat on the floor.
"But you know Chris will never let that happen" she sighed
"What if he doesn't know it was you?" Molly said looking directly at Kimberly.
"Are you saying I should kidnap her? But I can do that, Chris would send me away if he found out and you know I don't want to stress him especially now that he is financially loaded.
"You are so dumb. Do you want that child to take everything" Kimberly shook her head immediately.
"Well.... I know someone who can get the job done." Tasha said sounding dangerous "but it won't be for free and you won't be suspected" she smirked.
"What do you want"
"You'll give me a share from the money once your husband dies because as we all know he won't last long"
"Sigh..... I know but can't you ask for something else?"
"I don't need anything else."
Molly sat straight and said " Kim, you are really something. You think that kind of thing can be done with a small price?. Being hungry for money comes comes with a price you are already handling your husband and you know can't take his daughter too or something will seem fishy"
"Ok deal but make it quick, I'm loosing Patience "
"Leave it to us. The job will be done"
They all agreed and Kimberly was wearing that smile that says 'once everything is done, I will be the one to get everything in the end".
