April woke up the next morning with an hoarse voice after screaming and crying her eyes out as she fell asleep last night.
Anyone who saw her right now would know she cried as her eye bags were puffy. Looking at herself in the mirror, she screamed;
No, no, what did I do? April regretted her actions instantly.
She dropped the mirror and wondered if everyone is fine. She didn't speak to anyone after Alan Gilbert came back home.
She went into the walk in closet to pick a casual wear as she wasn't planning on going anywhere for that day. She grabbed a pair of purple joggers and hoodie as she went straight to the bathroom.
Few minutes later, April came out from the bathroom, and was set to dress. After putting on her clothes she went to the table to dry her layered waist length hair. She packed her hair in a ponytail after drying them. She stood up as it was time for breakfast, she left the room .
When she came downstairs she met Liam by the side of the stairs making a call;
Good morning brother, April whispered. Good morning, Liam whispered and smiled.
April went on to the dining table as she met Stacy busy with her phone;
Don't you know when to drop your phone, when an elder is around, April scoffed.
Wow, since when did you start to consider yourself as an elder in this house, Stacy couldn't hold her laughter.
April felt offended and went on to hit Stacy on her arm;
Ouch! That hurts, you know that right?
That's why I did it, April replied.
Did you see the news headlines this morning, Stacy asked.
No, I haven't checked my phone since yesterday, whats up? She asked as she poured herself a glass of water.
Don't you know you're already in the spotlight, a lot of news headlines this morning with your pictures have been posted and they are beginning to trend.
A lot of people have been congratulating you, check your phone, I'm sure a lot of emails are waiting to be answered. Stacy winked.
April took her phone from the pockets to check if what Stacy said is true.
OMG! ahhhh! April screamed with excitement as she continued to jump.
April? What's wrong what did you see? Stacy asked with a worried expression.
Liam and Perry also ran to the dining table to see what happened.
April, is everything okay? Liam asked as he went to her side to check what she saw on her phone.
What's this? Liam said as his eyes widened in shock, he immediately hugged April.
I'm so proud of you little sis. April continued to smile.
You did a good job, Liam encouraged as he gave her a thumbs up.
What's wrong? Tell us. Stacy and Perry still waiting for a reply.
You won't believe this, April said.
I just received an investment offer from a long time senior and mentor, William Jessica.
What? Are you joking? Stacy asked as she collected April's phone from Liam.
Goodness! Perry exclaimed. As she went to hug April.
April darling, we are so proud of you.
Hey buddy, come give me a hug, I'm so proud of you. As tears were rolling down their cheeks. You did it baby.
Thank you, April said.
Ohh I also have a gift for you, Liam said as he gave April a brown envelope. Open it, he ordered.
No way! Her eyes almost popping out of the socket. This is a well designed space for my art gallery? April asked. For me? She asked as tears began to flow again.
Ohh c'mon, stop crying. Liam pat April's back.
Brother, this is too much for me, she said as she hugged Liam, how will I ever repay all this?
You can do that by doing a good job at the gallery, Liam said.
We also have a gift for you. Stacy and Perry exclaimed.
Perry presented a necklace from a popular brand. The Diamond swan necklace worth millions of dollars. It has been worn by two celebrity singers. April gasped as she stared at the dazzling necklace.
Aunt, you're giving me this? It's too much.
Take it darling, it's my love for you.
Thank you.
Stacy gifted her a pair of popular designer black stiletto heels from HJ Fashion collection.
It's the shoe April had craved for almost a year now. It's super expensive.
Thank you sis. Muah, April gave Stacy a kiss on her cheek.
I love you all so much. That morning they couldn't have their breakfast in silence as they chatted all through.
