"what's it honey,you look troubled" I heard him say as if he wasn't aware of the reason for my acting.I know my husband so well,he could make you look stupid to him,he can play that game with the maids ,but he can't do it to his wife,I've lived with him all my life.
"Honey,it seems you disliked Amelia so much" i said. He shrugged and lie down flat on the bed,I am giving up,I will continue .
"How do you want her to cope alone in that big mansion huh?,you made her leave the house,as if it's not enough,you blocked her means of survival, what kind of father are you?"
"sweetheart, is that your problem right now?" he asked and i nodded .
"I'm trying not to spoil the girl,she has been spending much lately".he opened up and I angrily looked at him,I was so angry.what's he saying?
"spoil who?are u trying to tell me that I gave birth to a spoilt child?" I asked, angrily
"That's not ........,"I couldn't let him speak so I used my usual tactics.I stood up ,went into my bag ,packed some few things,and left the room,he followed behind,
"honey, where are you going to?, I heard him shouted behind me.I turned to him.
"I'm going to my own house, leaving your own damn fucked up house to my house,you can eat the house".I said bluntly,and that shocked him,he closed his eyes and opened them again visibly angry,he was trying to control himself ,any word from me will earn a slap into my face,I just kept looking until he calmed down.He came to me surprising and knelt in front of me.
"I'm sorry if I scared you", He said. I diverted my eyes "no babe,look at me"he said.I didn't.he signed.
"If this will tear my family apart,I will do it,I will release the account and apologize to Amelia,if that will make you happy" He said calmly.. I smiled , it worked. I turned my gaze to him smiling.
"I love you". I muttered audibly like a whisper
"I love you more.come on let's go to bed,I'm tired from working so much". He said and immediately lifted me up in a bridal style.
"what are you doing?",I asked shyly
"I'm taking you to our bedroom of course " he said climbing the stairs.
"The maids might see us" I whispered .
"Its our house not theirs,can't I have fun in my own house?",he said and that made me chuckle.
"you can" I answered and we laughed.

"Ava,wake up ,its 7.00 already" .I heard my mom say in my sleep,I immediately opened my eyes ,I heard her say 7.00, seven what?,jeez,I'm late for school. I stormed out of my room and rushed into my bathroom.

"Now what should I wear?, I said looking at my clothes.
"Ava!"my mum called.

"I'm coming" I answered and picked up the pink sleeveless gown,applied pomade on my skin and wore the clothe.I picked up my baby pink color shoe and wore them,applied powder ,took my back pack and rushed downstairs.
"mom,I'm late ,I don't think I will eat this morning" i said, on reaching downstair
"No,you are definitely taking something before going" she insisted.
I shrugged and grabbed the already made tea and drank it at once.
"Bye mom, kiss Gideon for me"I said and rushed out of house.
Mrs Clara's POV.
I made breakfast ready to wake Gideon up but I can see him coming out of the bedroom ,rubbing off his eyes sleepily.
"morning mom,I heard him greeted.
"How was your night boy?" I asked smiling.
"fantastic. I can smell Ava's sweet perfume,where went she?" he asked as he sat down on the dinning.
"she's off to school" I answered setting the table.
"To school?, wow ,ava is going to school." he said happily.
"what do we have for breakfast?,he chipped in and I smiled.
"your favorite boy".I answered and sat down.
"wow,pancakes with bread,tea,wait did you put fish?,"he asked smiling.
"No ,no money",I answered and his smile faded.
"Gosh!,you should have.what's the use?" he opened the tea cup,and the pancakes with the other plate beside him and saw fish.
"mum you are a good liar" ,he said and gave me a friendly ponch
"Dress up,you are going to school today" I said and he smiled.
"much love mum" he said and kissed me lightly.
"ooh,so sweet of you baby",I smiled, I love my children so much,they have been my joy since my husband died the day Gideon was born.He didn't even get to see his only son before he died.I was so bittered when I heard the news when I was discharged, ava made sure she kept it away from me, she even did what her father would have done to discharge me, my husband died while coming to see I and Gideon.
"I've told you I am not a baby anymore, I have a girlfriend" Gideon pointed absentmindedly.
"you have what?,I shouted immediately.
"No I didn't mean a girlfriend, ah......i......meant...a friend, yes a friend".
"you are lying, you are even stammering".
"No ,I mean,mommmm".He shouted and rushed into his room locking the door behind him.I laughed.
" Imagine a 9 year boy has a girlfriend.
fast forward...............
In prestigious high school
Ava's POV
I stood staring at the school sign board with the name " Brantford high school" boldly inscribed on it . yea,I'm going to a rich school on scholarship. Its looks beautiful. This is my first day in school,and I'm looking forward to enjoy my stay here,I walked into the school happily,and was stunned at the beauty of this school,I already doubted if this was a school or some kind of hotel ,if not for the sign board earlier.I saw few kids in their well ironed uniform, probably rich kids.I kept walking surveying the school compound and smiling wildly. I saw a gate by my right hand side and turned to examine it,ooh ava stop being a novice,you are acting weird,I muttered and turned, immediately,I bumped into a boy.His phone fell off.He stared at me as if I've grown two heads.
Dennis pov
l left my friends at the gate.I needed to meet the principal and I promised to catch up with them later.I was rushing towards the principal's office when a message popped into my phone.I brought out the phone out of my pocket to check the sender when a girl bumped into me,she turned immediately and I stood transfixed looking at her,I was wowed at the beauty before me that I almost forgot my mouth was opened. she's fair,cute eyes and nose,well body shaped,her hair was so long that I almost wondered whether she's my guardian angel,infact I've not met such beauty in my life.
"I'm so sorry ,I didn't see you coming" she apologized. Now here comes her angelic voice, she was talking and talking that I couldn't hear all she said ,I just stared at her cute little mouth.she tapped me and I immediately got back to my senses.
"Are you okay?",she asked me
"ye..yea ,I'm fine"I stammered avoiding her gaze,I focused on her hand and noticed she was with my phone.ooh stupid me,I forgot my phone fell immediately she bumped into me. I smiled and collected my phone and checked it,it was just a crack, I will buy another one anyway.
"Are you new here?" I asked calmly.
"yes and I don't know my way here" she quipped in. huh,is she kinda asking for my help,I mumbled.
"I'm actually heading to the principal's office if you don't mind ...............
"I will be grateful". she said smiling but not without showing me her dimples.
Awwww,she even looks more cute on it.This girl is driving me nut with just a smile.No woman have ever made me crazy except one ,I rather not talk about her,I frowned.we headed to the principals office.I went in and she joined too.
"Good morning Mrs James".I greeted the principal who was busy typing on her laptop. A girl was arranging some books at the shelf too,ooh Ann.she just hates me so much.she didn't even smile at me.
"yes Dennis,have you completed the form?",she asked still typing.
"yes,"I answered wondering how she knew I was the person before her.
"Where is Dave?",she asked me now looking up.
"He's not feeling too well".I answered confidently.
"That's just an excuse you know."she said collecting the form and going through it.
"you can leave" she commanded and I left but not without winking at Ann.she just pouted out her tongue making me laugh.
I rushed out of the principal's office and headed to the football pitch where others were waiting for me. we left together to the class.Dave excused himself to ease himself, we went into the class and girls were drooling as always,I'm already used to them. I just ignored them and sat down, brought out my phone and ear piece out and start listening to musics.
Ava's POV
I excused myself to ease myself, the girl directed me to one of the buildings ,this school is surely big,how can a toilet be on one building?,I better not lose my way around here.Due to the fact that I was so pressed,I rushed into the building, went upstairs and could see the toilets on one side and the bathroom on the other side.I pushed the first one,it was locked,the second one ,the same .I groaned angrily, what type of rubbish is this,must I keep pushing all these doors before I get released?, they shouldn't have opened the building ,its of no use.I ran towards the end and pushed one,luckily it was opened ,I rushed inside and what I saw left me speechless.
A boy was making out with a girl inside the toilet. They didn't even see me , and I had no choice than to shout to get their attentions. I looked at them in disgust as they stared at me.I walked closer ,dragged them out and closed the door.I eased up feeling released and comfortable.I flushed the toilet and got out,washed my hands and went towards the mirror checking myself out.someone grabbed me from behind,I looked at his reflection on the mirror immediately. it was the boy earlier who was making out with a girl when i stepped into the rest room. I turned angrily.
"Are you insane?", I asked visibly angry.
"what?",he said, maybe the question didn't get well to him.
"Are you mad?", I asked now shouting.
"Do you know what you just spoilt?you stupid fool huh" he said, with anger moving closer to me.i stared at him with fright moving backward, this boy have gone completely nut ,
"Now you gonna start from where i stopped with her before you interrupted us"
"what are you saying?",I asked confused.
"You don't understand?, are you just dumb or are you deaf ?, I said you spoiled my fun and you will continue where she stopped.
I covered my mouth in awe,this boy is really crazy,I looked around and couldn't see his mate,she must have left
"will you get your hands off me, before I smash your brain into pieces," I shouted.
"like seriously?, alright I get it,you are one of the stubborn girls I like dealing with,I know what to do".He said dragging me in,i struggled to free myself ,he's way too stronger.I have no choice than to use my teeth.I put my teeth into his hand he used in holding me and bit him.He shouted immediately and released me rubbing his wrist.I ran away immediately.
To be continued.
