Chapter 48

Angela

I looked around the house to see it was desolated and hasn’t been used in a long while. The entire space screamed ghost. The furnitures in the house were covered with white sheets while the stairs leading to the bedrooms were covered in dusts. I turned on the other lights in the living room.

I removed the sheet from one fo the furnitures I presume would be a couch. It was a sofa. I gently placed Reina on the sofa while I removed the sheets from the other furnitures. I bundled the sheets together and threw them in a corner.

I ran my hands through my hair and took a deep breath even as I stared at the ceiling. The house was abandoned just like us. How on earth did Darius decide to throw us out of his house to a place like this because of Daisy?

A bitter laugh graced my lips. I opened one of the doors dorectlys opposite me and I turned on the light to see it was a kitchen. It was of large size, almost the same as the one in Darius mansion. I removed the sheets from the appliances as well. There were some bottled water in the fridge. I powered it up, hoping at least some appliances would work. They all worked. I was grateful for at least that one thing. The best and available option for me was to go back to my mom’s place but I didn’t want her getting worried about us,

We’ll survive! Even if it’s just for tonight. I’ll do anything to make sure Reina is safe. A little part of me believed Darius would turn up tonight but a bigger part of me knew he was done with us. There was no way Darius would come here.

He hates me now! He wouldn’t even let me tell my own part of the story.

I returned to the living room to see that Reina was up. She was confused, looking around the room with tears filled her eyes. As her eyes landed on me, she let out a sad smile.

“Mama,”

I quickly rushed to her side. “Hey baby. Were you scared?” I asked

She touched my face so gently it melted my heart before she nodded.

“I thought you left,”

I was shocked to hear that. “No baby. Why would I leave you? I would never do that, okay?”

She stared at me. “Aunt Daisy said you’ll leave,”

I gritted my teeth. That bi*ch must have visited her at school. “She was kidding. I’m sure she was trying to prank you,”

I didn’t bother asking her when Daisy told her this. I was more worried about the other things that Daisy or anyone else had told her that she wasn’t telling me.

I held her gently by her shoulder. “Listen, baby, I want you to understand that you can talk to me about anything. You can ask mama about something you heard and trust me, I’ll always be here for you, okay?”

She nodded while grinning.

“Okay, mama,”

“Where’s this place?” She asked, looking around.

“I guess it’s our new place,”
