I was in the kitchen washing the dishes.
ā Whatās is the meaning of this? I heard Nathaniel cold angry voice
I flinched.
I turned and met his angry face.
He threw a newspaper at me.
I gasped.
It is about me being Nathaniel wife.
With my pictures and kids pictures on it.
ā What is the meaning of this? He yelled again pointing at the paper.
I looked at him and threw the paper on the floor.
ā Iā¦I..
ā Canāt you talk? He yelled.
āI.. I donāt know anything about thisā i said.
ā You donāt know? How could you tell such a big lieā he yelled.
ā I didnāt tell any liesā i half yelled.
He smirked
ā Really?
I didnāt say anything.
āHow could you tell the public that we are married only because my kids call you mumā he yelled.
I sighed.
ā I didnāt tell anyone that we are marriedā i yelled back.
ā You are such a big liar and a thiefā he yelled.
ā A thief? I arched my brow.
ā Yeah, a thief.. letās me make something clear to you, no one can take Saraās place in my heart. I know why you are doing all of this.. you just want me to love you and decided to make you my wife..you came here just because of money to take care of your life but you couldnāt ask me straight.. you need money to look after your poor family.. I am very sure your parents couldnt afford to give you all what you want then you decided to come here under the pretence of looking after the kids.. I canāt believe you stoop so low to the extent of lying to the public that we are married.. you are nothing but aā¦
I didnāt let him finished his statement.
I slapped him hƦrd.
He looked at me shocked.
ā You have said enough now you will listen you meā I said angrily.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
āYou have no right say anything about my parents or meā
ā I didnāt lie to the public that we are married, even I donāt want to take your wifeās place in your heart neither do I want your money nor do I want you to marry youā¦ I donāt like you.. I hate you Nathaniel Raymond.. I hate youā I yelled.
He looked at me more shocked.
ā Am only here to look after the kids.. am here to give them the motherly love and care that you deprived them ofā i yelled.
ā You are a liarā he said.
ā Donāt you have human feelings? Donāt you care about anyone? Donāt you care about someoneās feelings? I asked.
ā Yes, i donāt care about anyone the day Sara left meā he yelled.
āDo you think you are the only one who lost someone precious to you? Do you? I yelled.
ā Yes, I am the only oneā he yelled.
ā Even I lost people precious to me, I lost my parents in a ghastly car accident and do you know when? I yelled in tears.
.
š· Nathaniel š·
ā Even I lost people precious to me, I lost my parents in a ghastly car accident and do you know when? She yelled in tears.
I looked at her shocked.
She already lost her parents?
ā I lost my parents at the age of ten, I lost them when I was just ten years oldā she yelled and broke down in tears.
I felt sorry for her.
ā You lost your Sara three years ago and became ruthless ā
ā What about me? do you know when I lost my parents? She yelled more tears gushed out of her eyes.
I was moved.
I really felt bad seeing her like this.
ā Itās been fifteen years since I lost my precious mum and dad. Do you know how it feels to lose your parents as a tender age? She asked.
I looked at her speechless.
ā Rose.. am..
She cleaned at tears.
ā I lived in the orphanage for good five years.. no mother no father and no friends.. I was adopted by a couple who took care of me like their child but do you know what happened next? She said tears rolled down her cheeks.
ā My foster mum started maltreating, she just hate me for no reason and what about dad? He tried to rape meā she said fresh tears gushed out of her eyes.
I gasped.
ā Do you know the pain of being abuse? She asked.
ā I only care about the kids.. i donāt want them to grow up without motherly love. I want to give them the parental love I couldnāt receive.. I donāt want them to feel the pain of losing a motherā she yelled in tears.
ā But what did you do? She asked pointing a finger at me.
ā You accused me wrongly.. you accused me of stealing and lying.. you donāt believe whatever I told youā she yelled.
ā Rose I ..
ā You call yourself a father but you donāt care about your own kids, it is all about you.. do you think Sara will be Happy with you? She asked.
āI accept whatever you accused me of.. in as much am here just to care for the kids. I will give them the motherly love they couldnāt receive and I will give them the fatherly love that you neglected them ofā she said sternly trying to walk away.
I held her hand.
She looked at me.
ā Rose.. I..
ā I donāt want to speak to you but I hope one day you will understand meā she said and walked away.
I sighed.
I really felt sorry.

š· Rose š·.
I got into my room and broke into more tears.
I wished I could move away from this house and stay away from Nathanielās accusations but what about the kids?
What will happen to them?
I think the best decision to to move away from this mansion.. I will try and get in touch with the kids.
If Nath really love and care about his children.
He will look for me.
I cleaned my tears and began packing my things in a bag.
.
.
š· Nathaniel š·
I got into the room and sat down.
I really felt extremely sad.
I have been a bad person to her even when she was only trying to help me.
She lost her parents at a tender age but yet she still care about others.
She was maltreated and abuse but yet she still care about others.
She is a rare gem.
I tried to apologise to her but she wouldnāt hear me out.
I need to deal with her foster parents.
I picked up my phone and dial my private investigator.
ā Jack.. I need you to get some information about rose Gilbertā I said sternly.
,ā Yes bossā he said.
I couldnāt stop feeling bad.
I really hurt rose feelings.
If the kids find out they will never be happy with me.
I just hope she forgives me.
How about I go to her to her room?
Suddenly heavy breeze started blowing in my room.
I looked surprised.
I got out of the room but nothing is happening at the sitting room.
I got back to my room.
I saw the picture frame of Sara and i broken on the floor.
The breeze didnāt stop.
The pictures hanged on the wall all fell and shattered on the floor.
I gasped shocked.
The breeze stopped.
I looked around nothing fell down except the picture frames of Sara and I.
My picture frame didnāt break.
The breeze broke all the frame that consist of Sara.
What is happening?.
What did the pictures frame broke?
I stood there looking at the pictures shattered on the floor

I woke up this morning.
I will be leaving this house today. I will really miss the kids.
I looked at my packed bags. I sighed.
I got out of the room and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
I finished preparing the breakfast.
I went into the kids room.
I met them still sleeping.
Such little beautiful Angels.
I woke them up.
ā Good morning mumā Angel greeted.
I smiled. ā Good morning my Angelā i said.
ā Good morning princessā I k-ssed Mabel forehead.
I looked at the both of them.
The thought of leaving them make me sad.
I hugged them tightly.
Tears rolled down my cheek.
I disengaged from the hugs and clean my cheek.
ā Mum, whatās wrong? Angel asked.
ā Itās nothing Angelā i said with a little smile.
ā Did dad say something to you? She asked.

They both walked into Nathanielās room.
I stared at his door.
I sighed.
I climbed down the stairs.

š· Nathaniel š·
I was in my room getting ready for the office.
I havenāt apologize to rose yet for those words I said to her.
She is not even ready to hear me out.
I really felt bad.
There is no Saraās pictures in my room anymore since the breeze broke the frame I had no choice but to throw them away .
I still canāt believe the breeze broke only Saraās frame.
But why?
ā Good morning Dadā i heard my childrenās voice.
I smiled.

Minutes later I saw them walking to the dinning with Nathaniel.
They brought Nathaniel with them.
They got to the dinning and sat down.

She looks like something Is bothering her.
She looked up.
Our eyes met.
She looked away and stared at the kids.
Tears welled up in her eyes while looking at them.
She smiled and cleaned her eyes.
