GLOBAL AD COMPANY
“You are what?” Frederick asked Yvonne who is currently seated in his office.
“I told you. Am a new share holder of the company, so treat me with care” Yvonne answered softly.
“How on earth did you achieve that?” Frederick asked.
” Why? If you know do you intend to stop me from buying more shares?” Yvonne asked in return.
Frederick was about to speak when he got a call.
“Hello” he said gruffly into the reciever.
“What did you just say?” He asked looking pale.
“I will be there!” He added before ending the call.
“Did some thing happen?” Yvonne asked but he ignored her as he took his things and ran out of his office.
Frederick got to the hospital to see his grandmother and Tiffany’s father in the waiting room and the look on their faces got Frederick shaking his head slightly.
“It can’t be true right? Tiffany isn’t….she can’t be!” Frederick said to them as tears glisten his eyes.
“Her car fell down the hill and blew up before anyone could get her out. She…. she’s completely burnt and…”
“No! Nothing is wrong with Tiffany, she…she can’t leave me. She promised to be back and…. where’s my wife? I need to see her myself” Frederick demanded but grandma Cassandra held onto him.
“Don’t go. You won’t want to see her looking like that” She said also in tears.
“I don’t care! I want to see my wife, I have to see her!” He said firmly and pulling his hand out of her hold, he went into the room.
She was lying on the bed while a white sheet was used to cover her up.
On seeing this, the tears Frederick have been holding in began to pour.
He slowly made his way to the lifeless body and though it was the hardest thing for him to do, he pulled the sheet and the burnt body he saw got him crying out.
He noticed their wedding ring on her finger and that made him kneel on the floor, crying his eyes out.
“Frederick” grandma Cassandra called as she ran into the room to hold him in her arms.
“I can’t believe she’s dead granny, she can’t leave me. Katie still needs her and I also need her, tell her to wake up! Tell her to wake up….” He muttered as he kept crying and all his granny could do was to hold him to herself while she tried to comfort him.

TWO WEEKS LATER
As soon as Willow stopped the car, Grandma Cassandra got out of it heading into the pent house.
A lady who was feeding little Katie quickly came to her.
“Good after noon Mrs Davis” She said trying to pacify the crying Katie.
“For how long have she been crying?” Granny Cassandra asked as she took little Katie from her hold trying to pacify the little girl.
“For a while now, she won’t eat the food I give her, I don’t know what’s wrong with her” the girl replied also looking worried.
“Is her father in?” Grandma Cassandra asked.
“He’s been locked up in his room” The girl answered.
Giving the child to the girl, Grandma Cassandra went in search of Frederick.
Just like she said, he was locked up in his room and though it took a while, she got the spare key.
Getting into his room, she opened the door only to see him lying on the bed in the dark.
Moving towards the window, she pushed the curtain apart, letting the sun drift into the room before turning to her grandson.
“For how long will you keep up with this?” She asked Frederick who was curled up on the bed holding onto an photo frame.
“Your child is downstairs and she’s been crying. Don’t you feel a thing hearing her cry?” Grandma Cassandra yelled at him.

“I know you are still hurt by Tiffany’s death. We all are but we are trying to overcome it and you should do the same, if not for anyone do it for little Katie, she needs you ”
“She’s got a nanny” Frederick muttered.
“You are right. She’s got a nanny but she also needs her father love and attention!”
“Am sorry granny but am not in the right condition to take care of anyone. I want to be alone” he said which got her walking towards the bed to pull the covers away from him.
“Get up! Get up Frederick! I won’t let you do this to yourself. Tiffany wouldn’t want to see you this way ” Grandma Cassandra yelled at him but he didn’t move.
She tried taking the photo frame from him but he pushed her hand off.
“Leave me alone! Aren’t I allowed to mourn her death? You don’t know how hard it’s been for me. I know it’s wrong that I keep my distance from my daughter but she…she reminds me of Tiffany. I can’t bear to hold her in my arms when I keep thinking about her mom. So just leave me alone! You don’t know how I feel right now” he growled out in anger.
She let out a sigh of defeat and picking up the bed cover, she put it over him.
“Whether you believe it or not. I know how it feels to lose a love one. I lost your grandpa then your father and your mother. Have also been hit with pain and I understand you my boy” she said as she gave him a kiss on the forehead.
“Deal with your pain in whatever way you can and get back on your feet. Remember that Katie needs you” she told him softly before leaving his room.
As soon as he heard the door close behind him. Frederick tightened his hold on the photo frame while the tears fell from his eyes.
For the past two weeks, he’s been telling himself to stay strong but he just can’t do it, not when he won’t get to see his joy again.

LATER THAT DAY
After checking on Katie who was soundly asleep in her cot, Lucas made his way to Frederick’s room.
Just like Grandma Cassandra did, he went to the curtain and pulled it apart waking the sleeping Frederick.
“Why are you here?” Frederick groaned out in anger.
“To get you to meet Mr Lee before he goes to back to Korea” Lucas replied.
“Am not interested in meeting anyone” Frederick replied.
“This has got to stop! I understand that you miss Tiffany but that doesn’t mean that you should push the people around you away and it doesn’t mean that you should neglect your work”
“You’ve been wishing for a meeting with Mr Lee for a long time and now that the opportunity is here, you want to throw it away? I won’t let you” Lucas added as he went to pull him up.
“What are you doing?” Frederick asked as Lucas pulled him towards the bathroom.
“Take a bathe, put on one of your best attire and come downstairs to say hello to Mr Lee ” Lucas told him.
“Is Mr Lee here?” Frederick asked.
“I had no other option than to bring him here. So get your butt into the shower and come join us downstairs or I promise to shower you myself ” Lucas threatened before leaving the room.
“Am sorry Mr Lee but Frederick will be here soon. While you wait, refresh on this” Lucas said as he gave the man a glass of wine.
“Thank you” Mr Lee muttered as he drank his wine before starring at the large frame which held Tiffany’s picture in it.
“Is she Frederick’s wife?” Mr Lee asked and that got Lucas nodding.
“She died two weeks ago. It’s one of the reason why Frederick have been cooped up in the house” Lucas told him.
“That’s strange” Mr Lee said his gaze on Tiffany’s picture.
“I saw this lady a week ago” he added and that got Lucas starring at him.
“Are you sure? Maybe you mistook her for some one else” Lucas said but Mr Lee shook his head.
“It is her. It was during my visit to Texas last weekend. I saw her and a guy together. I was also reminiscing about my late wife when I saw them and it’s definitely her” Mr Lee said with conviction.
“Are you sure? Are you sure about seeing this same woman?” Frederick asked as he came to join the two men in the room.
“Frederick it might not be her and….”
“I am sure. I might be old but my sight isn’t bad. It is her except she has a twin you don’t know of” Mr Lee suggested.
“She doesn’t. She’s the only one in this world with this face. It’s her right? She’s the one you saw ?” Frederick demanded, hope blossoming within him.
“Oh, right! I took pictures of them that day cause I was a bit envious of their youth and love. Have a look at it” Mr Lee said as he showed them his phone and on seeing the picture Frederick and Lucas stared at each other in shock.

TEXAS
Philip made his way to the room he always kept locked.
After unlocking it, he went into the room but there was no sign of her.
Heading to the balcony, he found her curled on the floor with her head on her knees.
“You keep hiding here. Are you hoping that by doing this, I will disappear from your life?” Philip asked as he set the tray he was holding on the table.
“I want to leave. Let me leave, Philip” Tiffany pleaded and that got rid of the smile on Philip’s face.
“Why, Do you wish to return to him? Everyone thinks you are dead even Frederick” Philip replied.
“That’s what you made them believe. At least let me leave for the sake of my daughter, she’s still a baby and….” Tiffany stopped talking when he angrily kick the tray which fell spilling the food in it.
“Never! You aren’t going to leave. Have waited for nine months, I waited for you to give birth to that bastard child and now that I have you here after waiting for almost a year, you think I will let you leave?” Crouching in front of her, he pulled her by her arms.
“Am never going to let you go, I love you Tiffany. You and I belong together and that’s how it will be. You and I together forever” he added before giving her a hug.
