Chapter 3 - Promises...

I walked out of the steamed filled shower with a towel wrapped around my chest and hair as I entered my walk in closet, filled with designer wears carefully arranged in a fine a order.

I walked to the closet where my gowns were arrange and took a maroon fitted gown, placing it on the center table.

I walked to the dressing table and sat on the chair as I applied some light makeup on my face and styled my hair in a neat bun.

"Addy, you're there?". I heard a Mrs Abi's voice followed by a light knock.

"Yea I am". I said and the door opened as mama Abi walked in.

"You're going out?". She asked as she stood behind me.

"Mm, I got a call". I said and stood up from the chair and walked to the shoe rack and picked a pale brown heels.

"When will you be coming back". She asked as she watched me put on my dress, though I wasn't ok with her watching me my stuff I couldn't just send her out.

"I'm not a child Mrs Abi, I'll come home whenever I want to". I said and sat back on the chair to wear my heels which I was struggling to do because on my fitted dress.

"Let me help with that". She said, squatting to help me get on the shoe.

"You don't have to Mrs Abi, I can do this myself ". I gave her a half smile as I adjusted my leg from her.

"It's fine pumpkin, I can do this". She smiled and held my right feet on her hand as she carefully slid the shoe in.

My hand clutched on the edge on the chair as I angrily stared at her.

"Why can't she just listen to me...why does she keep pestering my life even after I made it clear that I no longer want to be near anyone....why the hell won't she just leave me alone like I want?".

I bit my lower lips angrily as I glared at her as she slid the second pair on my left foot.

"All done". She smiled and looked up at me , but her smile died down as she saw the angry look on my face.

"What is it?". She asked in a worried tone.

"Why don't you just stop Mrs Abi?". I asked with clenched teeth.

She looked me with her head slightly tilted in confusion.

"I don't understand "She said while she slowly stood up to her feet.

"Ahhh". I let out a soft sigh and looked at her. "Why can't you just leave me alone like I asked you to, like I fucking want you to?". I glared harder at her as my lips trembled in anger. "Why can't you just stop pestering me, you keep making everything fucking stuffy around me, why can't you just give me space to breath".

She looked at me and lightly shook her head as she attempted to walk closer towards me but decided against it.

"Addy, i understand you better than you understand yourself, in as much as you want me to leave you alone, still you don't want to be alone". She paused and looked at me. "I made a promise to your father that I'll never leave you alone by yourself and I am going to heed to my promises".

"The promises you made to my father...". I whispered before bursting into a range of laughter. "Promises?....My father?... Don't give my those Promising shit, you and I know that he also promised but did he keep to his promises?". I looked at her waiting for a response but none came.

"So I thought". I said and grabbed my purse from the table proceeding to exit the room.

"Addy" Mrs Abi called. "You know it was an accident, you know he would never had thought about leaving you alone in this cruel world".

"Fuck the accident Mrs Abi, I clearly remembered that I fucking pleaded with him not to leave that night, I cried and begged but he promised that he'll come back as soon as possible, you told me he was going to do according to what he said but turned out you were both liars". I said and opened the door. "And just so you know Mrs Abi, the world isn't the one that's cruel, it's the people living in it".

With that I walked out headed downstairs.

I took my car keys on the tabled and went to the garage, entered my car and drove out headed to my favourite bar.

I parked my car in the underground garage and entered the private elevator, which opened in a front of a door which had loud musics coming from inside.

"You're welcome Mam ". The waiter opened the door and I stepped inside the room surrounded by lush velvet covered furniture.

My friends from the world of business were already there sitting in cozy booths, chatting and laughing while drinking expensive alcohol.

"Hey Addy, we've been waiting". One of the ladies in the room Nora who is a renowned fashion designer said as she walked up to me.

"You don't look too good". She said studying my face.

"I'm fine". I gave her a small smile and walked to my personal couch and crashed.

"Did your old woman do something to offend you this time?". Jesse a real estate agent asked as he walked up to me with a glass of alcohol.

"I'll take wine, I'm driving". I said and she quickly replaced the content.

I took the glass from him and poured the entire content down my throat.

"It's definitely her Jesse, there's noone who could possibly annoy Addy except that old fart". Nathie an A-star actress said with an eye roll.

"For an actress you've got the biggest blabbermouth Nathie". I said as I poured more wine in my glass.

"I just wanted to make you feel better Addy". She laughed awkwardly.

"And calling her an old fart would make me feel better?".

"Addy come on, let's not do this tonight". Nora said pouring me more alcohol.

The room was already getting tensed up but Elliott, the fun guy who is the owner of one of the biggest tech company stood up with a bottle of wine.

"Come one party people, let's forget the whole issue and just get wasted". He announced and everyone poured their selves some drinks, but I sat there staring at Nathie who was feeling rather uncomfortable with my gaze on her but she pretended like she was not, Such a great actress.

"Addy, I hear your company's current project was a success". Elliott walked up to me. "Congratulations, let's have a toast for that". He raised his glass towards me while we toast.

"It's really amazing how she doesn't go to the office yet she knows all that's happening and takes good care of the company, you're a genius Addy". Nora said while he just gave her a small smile.

Yes, I don't go to the company but I run the company....from home.

I don't plan on interacting with workers or being on Tv, I just want to live a quiet and peaceful life, free from the outside world, I'm not going to live my life for other people just as sad had done, I'm going to live my life for myself and of course the company, Davidson can take care of meeting up for contracts and discussing with that staffs but I would take care of all critical issues in the company since I happen to be a business genius just like my father was.
