Chapter 53: Chapter 53
“ Just forget about him and enjoy yourself in the Billionaire’s home” Derek Advised. “ Yea that’s what I’ll do but there’s another problem. Not even one” She sat upright on the bed to gist him.
“ A girl came days ago claiming she’s his girlfriend, I heard she was his girlfriend until his Grandma separated them because she’s a model” Vanessa said and Derek Chuckled. “ what does her career have to do with her Love?” He asked but Vanessa didn’t have an answer to that. “ I don’t know either” She said. “ then what about the second problem?” He asked her. “ I think this is the worst of it all. Another girl who calls herself his girlfriend moved in to the house today” She said and he gasped. “ And you didn’t do anything about it?” He asked. “ no, she’s his cousin. We’ve been in problems since she moved in hours ago. I’m tired of living here, Derek. I just want to return back to your house” Vanessa said sadly.
“ Hey don’t even think about coming here because there’s no room for you. Stay in your Baby Daddy’s house with your baby. I only want to see you in my house when you’re bringing me your wedding invitation with him” He warned. Vanessa Laughed, She knew Derek to always be a joker not knowing he was serious. “ Wait, you are serious?” She asked him. “ Of course, do you think I’m joking? Where’s Mara?” He asked and Vanessa smiled. “ she’s in her room, probably sleeping” She said. “ I really missed Mara a lot, I wish she came come stay with me even for weekends” He sighed. “ So you missed Mara but you don’t Missed Mara’s Mum? Wonderful! You are no more my friend again” She said with a smirk.
“ I’m sorry Mara’s Mum, you Know you’ll always be my little smart Vanessa. Send my regards to Mara, tell her I miss her” He said and Vanessa ended the call. “ I feel so Good now after talking to Derek” She heaved a sigh of relief and turned around. “ Oh my Goodness!” She exclaimed when she saw Alfred’s standing in front of the door. “ You startled me. Since when have you been standing there?” She asked him and he Chuckled. “ I’ve been standing here since you start gossiping about me” he said and she rolled her eyes. “ I didn’t gossip about you. And it’s bad for you to listen to people’s Conversation”
“ I was passing by when I heard you calling my name and so I came in” He said sitting down on a chair. “ I didn’t call your name. You followed me her because I said I was coming to speaker with Derek right? Are you jealous?” She asked him and he chuckled. “ Jealous of who?” He asked her. “ I don’t know” she said. “ Aren’t you going out today?” Vanessa asked him and he checked his wrist watch. “ Uhm I have a meeting to attend to by 4 and this is already 3:45. See you later” He said and left the room.
Vanessa smiled, she lye down on the bed and closed her eyes.
“ This feels so Good” She said smiling. Few minutes later, the phone in her hand fell on the floor and she started snoring.

Alfred arrived at the office 10 minutes later, he went straight to his office and saw Kiara sitting on his chair.
“ What are you doing here?” He asked her and she stood up smiling. “ Is that how to welcome your guest?” She asked him. “ I didn’t invite you here. What are you doing in my office?” He asked her and she sighed. “ I missed you so much Alfred, I still love you. I tried to remove you from my heart, I tried to forget about you but the more I tried, the more your love increased in my heart. Please let’s get back together, you And I are meant to be together” She said worriedly. Alfred sighed, he Dropped his briefcase on the table and looked at her. “ Kiara, The deed has already been done. Grandma will never approve of us being together..” She cut him off. “ Then let’s get married without her consent” She said and he sighed.
“ That will never happen, I’m already in love with someone who I will marry very soon. I’m Sorry for the slap and everything” She moved closer to him but he moved some steps back. “ Are you really serious you are going to marry that girl?” She asked him and he smiled. “ Yes” He answered. “ What does she have that I don’t have? I’m wealthier and prettier than her” Kiara said Worriedly. “ Kiara, I’m sorry but I can’t marry you. I have to marry Vanessa because of Mara, She’s my child and I can’t separate her with her mother” Kiara Chuckled, she knew were all that was leading to.
“ So you are marrying her not because you love her? You want to marry her because of your child?” She asked him but he didn’t say a word. “ Did Grandma approve of her?” She asked and Alfred sighed. “ I know right, Grandma will never approve of her even though she have a child with you. But how? That girl is 4 years already. Were you and Vanessa dating behind my back five years ago?” She asked him. “ No Kiara, you know I would never do that. Something Happened on the day that we broke up” He tried to explain but she wasn’t interested in that. “ Anyways” She picked up her bag. “ You can go ahead and marry her, Good luck” She said and left the office.
Alfred heaved a sigh of relief, he sat down on the chair and loosened his tie a little.
“ Free at last, The next person is Mandy. I have to do something about that girl” He Smiled happily and heaved a sigh of relief again.
