🌀🌀LINCOLN POV
***
I spent some time in the bank before I finally returned home.I kept the money in my wardrobe and smiled,I can’t believe she sent me $200 dollars.That was actually the highest money she have ever sent me.

My smile soon turned to a beam as I went to the living room.I sat on the couch and switched on the TV and luckily this time,a movie which seem interesting to me was displaying on TV.

I relaxed on the couch as my eyes ran to the wall clock,the time was now 10am.

Hmm,Belle will be back soon and there isn’t any food at home. I guess I should say thanks to her for preparing fries for me by making her lunch.

I nodded and left the movie I was watching to the kitchen.I turned on the gas cooker and thought of what to make. Won’t some French noodles, cheese cake and some beef be enough? Yep! She would be happy.

I sighed and tried taking out all the ingredients from their shelves but surprisingly,they were nothing in the shelves.It was already used and the shelves were now empty.Great!

I turned off the gas cooker and went to my room,I took out $50 dollars from the $200 dollars she sent me before walking out of my room.

I wanted to go to the market since all the foodstuffs at home were already exhausted. I won’t want I especially Belle to starve today.

I boarded a cab and I got to the market on time.I began buying foodstuffs and paying at their respective prices after bargain but suddenly someone called my name.

“Lincoln!”.I recognized the voice to be that of Samantha and I was right cause as soon as I turned back,I saw her smiling at me.

“Samantha?”.I called,quite surprised to see her.Well I didn’t think I was going to see her again after I pushed her out of my house,it was like I pushed her out of my life.

“Hey Lincoln! You look surprised to see me,why huh?”.She was walking closer to me now with her heels making stinging sounds.

Samantha is really beautiful,that was why I fell for her when I met her for the first time.Her brown eyes,her shape,her hair everything about her makes my breath seize but now…things had changed.

She herself have changed.She is no longer the Samantha I know,she already made herself artificial.

Her blonde hair,her shape,her eyes she changed them and I know I can’t love her back the way I used to do.

“Am glad Lincoln”.She smirked,snapping me out of my thoughts. “Am glad you now admire my body,don’t you?”.

Gosh! Am sure I was staring at her for long and she must be thinking I love her new shape or whatever.

“Don’t deceive yourself Samantha”.I scoffed. “And by the way what are you doing here? Don’t tell you have been following me?”.

She rolled her eyes but that seem not to affect me.Before when we are were still in a relationsh¡p,I always feel butterflies in my stomach anytime she rolled her eyes but now..I don’t anymore.

“I wasn’t following you,why would I?”.She asked,finding my question ridiculous.

“Fine! Now leave me alone”.I said and turned to leave with all the foodstuffs have bought in a polyethylene.

“Lincoln! Please wait!”.She said with a rinsed voice and I stopped walking.

“The only reason I called your name was actually because I wanted to apologize to you for being a bitch,for making you angry.I just want to say am sorry and that you should for..”.I cut her off.

Darn it! She should stop begging already,I won’t accept her back as my girlfriend.

“Samantha,I can’t be in a relationsh¡p with you anymore.Everything we shared are now past and yo..”.She cut me off with a frown.

“No,am not begging you to accept me back as your girlfriend.I only want you to forgive me for insulting your sister,for calling a pr-stitute.She must be your sister or maybe your cousin,who is she to you?”.She said confused as she glanced at me.

“You really wanna know?”.I asked and she nodded.

“Don’t ask me that Lincoln you know that I do want to know who she is cause I don’t remember you having a sister”.She
answered and I smiled.She is always smart,perhaps that’s the only thing that haven’t changed about her.

“You are right Samantha,I don’t have a sister and well she is my girlfriend”.I said and she gasped,her face turning into a frown.

“What! Lincoln please if this is a joke just stop it cause am not interested”.Her frown was going deeper.

“Do I look like am joking? She is my girlfriend”.I said and a tear drop out of her eye.

“No Lincoln,please I love you. I have always love you don’t punish me by loving another girl, she isn’t even better for you.Am the best person you would ever want,please Lincoln don’t love another girl please”.She begged,tears falling out of her eyes uncontrollably. I felt pity for her for a second but it quickly disappeared as I remember how we broke up.

How she had push me hærd on the floor when I tried to stop her from breaking up with me.How she had told me right in my face that I wasn’t trust worthy.How I had knelt down begging her to give me a second chance that I will be best boyfriend she have ever known.

Poor me! I even thought that I made a mistake and that was why she was breaking up with me but now…here is she crying and begging me to accept her back exactly the way I had beg and cried for her to accept me back.

Hmm…Time do flies and history do repeat itself.

“Am sorry Samantha”.I finally spoke,realizing I was getting attention from lots of people who pass by us. “I love my girlfriend,I no longer love you.You were my ex and you forever will be my ex,so please stop embarrassing yourself in public”.

I spoke harshly and she sniffed,her eyeball were red already.

“I promise you Lincoln,I will get you back and make that bitch pay for stealing you away from me.I promise!”.She yelled and walked away.

I frowned as I watch her go away.I know Samantha always keeps to her word but she can’t this time..she just can’t.

I shrugged and began walking away but suddenly walking when I heard a voice I would forever recognized in a thousand
years to come.

Mum!!

🌀🌀LINCOLN POV
***
She was busy talking to a woman and she looked quite angry.

“Mum! Mum!!”I yelled as I got to her and immediately I reached her,I hugged her but she pushed me away.

I was shocked!

“What the hell is wrong with you? Can’t you see am talking to someone?”.She retorted and I felt my breath seize.

Is she talking to me that way? I met her again after six years and she welcomed me with her harsh words? Probably,she didn’t recognize me cause I had grown matured.

“Mum! It’s me,Lincoln your son”.I tried to remind her but she frowned.

“Do you have to tell me that? Am I blind not to recognize you? Come on! Am surprised, you haven’t changed one bit,you still got your annoying nature”.She spat out and I felt tears sting my eyes.

What have I done wrong to her? Even after six years of meeting again,she still hated me.She still didn’t care about me,does she have to be this heartless and wicked?

“Who is this guy?”.The woman mum was talking to asked and mum stared at her.

“Oh,Mabel! He is my son,the one I told you about”.Mum said and the woman named Mabel nodded.

“You shouldn’t allow your husband see him,it might cause a huge problem”.She muttered but I heard.

Husband? Mum is married already??

“Yeah,right”.Mum said and glared at me. “As you can see Lincoln,we were busy before we got interrupted by you so you can leave us now”.

I pushed back my tears but I couldn’t control the heavy pain I felt in my chest.

“Am sorry”.I sighed,trying so hærd not to cry. “Am sorry for disturbing you both,am so sorry”.

I apologized but mum shrugged,looking so irritated by my presence.Oh! She don’t even act like a mum.

She is so selfish and hærd hearted.

“Whatever.Just go!”.She said and I stared at her one last time before walking away.

I recalled everything that she said and tears escaped from my eyes.

Why doesn’t she like me? I met again after a very long time but she didn’t smile at me.Am so sure she never wanted to see me again..

She doesn’t even love me! Why? Why me? Why does my life have to be too complicated, huh?

I tried,I tried to be the best son she would ever wished to have but unfortunately, she never valued me.

I remember when I was little just eight years old,I used to tidy the house and made breakfast even before she wakes up from sleep but still…she would complain saying that I didn’t tidy the house well and that the food I made wasn’t so delicious.

I always felt sad,I always cry whenever she complain but she would mock me..calling me a cry baby.

When she left,I felt alone and I waited for her to return for days, for weeks but she never did.Damn! Those days were my nightmare.

And now have come to realize that she never loved me,to her I was only a mistake she wished she never committed.

It isn’t like I was at fault,I wasn’t at fault but she is putting all the blame on me..she is distancing herself from me.

Why do I have to suffer? Why does she have to do this to me? Even if I was born at the wrong time she should love me at least a little but no..that is impossible.

I wipe my tears away when I got home,I opened the door but was surprised to see Belle in the living room looking so worried.

“Oh,thank goodness.Where have you been Lin?”.She asked,sighing in relief.

“I went to get some foodstuffs from the market,am sorry for making you worried”.I said and she smiled.

“It’s okay Lin but are you fine? Your voice sounds dull”.She said and I faked a smile.

“Am fine,you shouldn’t worry about me”.I tried to convince her but she scoffed.

“Don’t try to lie Lin,you are not fine at all”.She huffed and I rolled my eyes.

“I met my mum today at the market”.I said and she beamed looking so excited.

“That’s good news but why aren’t you excited? You met her after a very long time”.She said and before I knew it,tears started their journey from my eyes to my cheeks and below.

“Well I found out she hates me,she don’t want me around her anymore”.I sobbed and she pulled me in for a hug.

“Don’t cry Lin,please don’t cry”.She said and stroke my hair affectionately.

🌀🌀SAMANTHA POV
***
No! No!! No!!!

This can’t be happening not after everything both of us shared.Lincoln! Why can’t you love me anymore? Whyyy?

I kicked few things out of my way in my room as I ruffled my hair feeling so furious and heart broken.

“Sammy,what’s…”.My sister said walking into my disarranged room but I cut her off.

“Get out of my room,you bag of shit!”.I exclaimed and she hissed before walking away.

Damn! Dammit!

Lincoln,I do love you why can’t you feel the same way for me again? Oh,that girl! His girlfriend or whatever,I will have to take her out of the way.

I don’t care if she end up dying but I must make her leave my Lincoln alone.Besides no one steals things from me and go Scott free.

I picked up my phone on the floor and frowned when I saw the broken screen.I had hit it on the floor a while ago due to rage and now am regretting it…Shit!

I dialed a number and the bad guys picked up,they are popularly known as the T boys and we are very good friends.

“Guys,I need your help”.I said and smirked.
