Sitting outside, I was doing my Laundry when Chase drove into the compound
I smiled
He alighted from his car and walked towards me
Good morning! I greeted
he glanced at his wristwatch and huffed
It is already noon
Oh my bad! I guess I was too preoccupied with the house chores to take notice
he smiled
So how are you? he asked while sitting beside me
I am fine, I was just missing you . I pouted
Alright . he drawled
I frowned, what is with that tone?did you not miss you me?
I did candy but I am just too stressed
Oh! Are you still worried about Nick? I asked
He nodded
How is he? is he getting any better?
Yes, he is already awake . he informed
I sighed in relief
But what really happened to his voice? I probed on
I don’t know, he shrug
I stared at him, he was trying not to meet my gaze
Are you hiding something from me?
No, why would I do that? he retorted without still looking at me
I smirked
Why is your voice so similar to that of Nick’s? I continued
he looked at me in a huff
What exactly do you want to know?
The truth Chase, I want to know the truth. I half yelled
he sighed
It is complicated,you wouldn’t understand
But you can make…….. I tried to say but he cut me off
Is your dad in?
I scoffed , are you trying to avoid my question?
Where is he?he repeated
he went to the mall with Max. I informed
he dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out a card
Give him this when he gets back , he handed the card to me
I looked at it, it was his private card
Tell him to call me . he added
I nodded
I need to be on my way. he informed while standing
But you just got here . I queried
I know , but I need to rest . he insisted
Alright. I smiled
he leaned towards me, kissed me briefly on my lips before heading to his car
I watched him go and smirked
he is definitely hiding something from me…………

Roxy Delgado ( Nick’s mother)

Confused, I sat down in my car thinking of the next step to take
I was really confused about everything
Will Nick ever forgive me?
Damn! I hit the steering wheel with my fist
I never expected to be caught up in my own greed
My phone suddenly rang and I received it without checking the caller
Who is this? I grunted
Are you alright Roxy? I heard a familiar voice asked
Oh Andy! I never knew it was you
What is wrong with you? Are you still worried about Nick? he asked rushingly
I sighed
Nick is fine, he is already awake . I informed
Really? then why do you sound so worried?
I am not fine Andy. I retorted breaking down in tears
What is wrong baby? Please talk to me. he pleaded
I sighed
Please just go to Nick , he needs you
Of course, I am already on my way to the hospital. he informed
Thanks. I appreciated
Anything for you my love. he said and ended the call
I stared at my phone and smiled lightly
he sure does know how to make me smile
I started the car and drove off headed to Philip’s family home
I have to find Nick father so my son can finally be at peace with me………

I drove through the familiar area with a heavy heart
Will Philip still be staying there?Will he believe me? Will he ever forgive me?
*
I parked in front of the small cottage house and alighted from the car
I said a silent prayer before walking to the front door
I knocked of the door and waited but there was no response
What could be wrong?
I knocked again and the door was soon opened by an elderly woman . staring at her, I immediately recognised her as Philip mother
I panicked a little bit
hello ma! I greeted
hi dear, how can I help you? she asked staring at me
It was obvious she didn’t recognise me
I am here to see Philip. I informed
And who are you? She arched her eyebrow
It is me Roxy, do you remember?
She stared intently at me without uttering a word
Ma! do you remember? I repeated and she scoffed
Why won’t l! Why won’t I remember the b***h who almost made my son crazy !
but ma I…. I tried to say but she cut me off
What do you want? she yelled
Can we please talk inside? I pleaded
No, say whatever you want out here . she blurted
Fine!
I want to see Philip, I want to tell him about his son
What son? she asked
The son I had for him twenty three (23) years ago
She laughed
Are you here to Joke? I thought you had a miscarriage
No I lied , I never had a miscarriage
She stared at me for a while and sighed
Why are you doing all this now? You left my son because he was poor
Please Just let me see Philip. I pleaded
She shook her head negatively
Philip is happily married and I can’t let you destroy his family
I am not here to destroy his family , I just want to tell him about his son. I explained
She smirked. Let your son remain with your rich husband
My son already knows the truth, he already knows he is not a Delgado
She widened her eyes in surprise
Delgado? So the man you left my son for is the famous Delgado
I nodded
She scoffed
Just get the hell out of here Roxy . She yelled and bang the door shut ……
Oh Roxy! What will you do now?

Chase Delgado

I walked into the sitting room and was surprised to see my manager having a discussion with my father
My father had a large smile on his face
What are they talking about? I wondered
hi! I greeted and they both looked at me
Come over here Chase! My dad gestured me to move closer
I moved closer to them and sat down beside my father
What is the good news? I asked staring at my father and then my manager
Look at this. My manager said handing me his phone
I took the phone from him and stared at the screen
On the screen was an image of me
So what about it? I gave him a puzzled look
Scroll down. he instructed and I did
I widened my eyes in surprise as I read through
My song broke all records by having more than a billion views in just a month
How is this possible? I directed the question to no one in particular
Not only that , your fans are asking for a duet performance . My manager beamed
I looked at him
What do you mean?
They all want you to hear you sing a duet with a female lead singer, Kira to be precise
I scoffed
I can’t sing with Kira
Why? My dad gave me a puzzled look
I don’t just want to sing with her
he sighed
Do you have anyone in mind then?
I smiled
Yes, I am going to sing the duet with candy
But she is just a student. My manager queried
I don’t care. I retorted
It might try……my manager tried to say but my dad cut him off
Let them perform the duet together, I respect Chase choice
I smiled ………..
