Mummy, where is daddy?
Life can be full of twists and turns, ups and downs. Sometimes it can feel like everything is going right, but other times it can feel like nothing is going our way. But what happens when it feels like life has truly given up on us?
This was the question facing Lia Thompson after she caught her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend.
Drinks in hand, she barged into a private room at the Satellite Hotel, where she was confronted with a group of men - one of whom stood out as particularly handsome.
In a fit of anger and sadness, she asked the man, "Handsome man, how much would you charge for a night?"
To her surprise, the man responded, "Do you think you can afford it?"
But she was determined to prove him wrong, and soon found herself in a room with him, her clothes in disarray.
The next day, when the fog of alcohol cleared, Lia realized what she had done. Filled with shame, she fled the room.
The news where she slept with a strange man get to the city and she was being bashed for it. Her parent forced her to leave the country and she did, never wanting to return. But months later, she received news that would change her life forever: she was pregnant with twins.
Five years later, she found herself back in the same country, same city, now a single mother to her two children. But her peace was shattered
when she received a visit from a man she never expected to see again: the father of her children.
She never wanted to know she had babies for him, but her babies couldn't stop asking;
"Mommy, where is daddy?"
There was no how she could lie this time around, the father is the carbon copy of his children.
