Chapter 1[Washington DC]
Jeremy Pov🎾
“It’s past 6minutes alre-ady. ” I said checking my wrist watch. We’re out of an airport to meet with my so called father.
“He should be here, excuse me let me call him. ” She said and walk to the last edge.
I hate what Nanny Best has made me do when in a real s-en-se I’m suppose to be lying on my king size be-d and be listening to some crazy music or better still be watching movies or film show bit she ruined it when she told me that Mr. Malcolm is arriving Washington today and that I should get re-ady because I’m coming with her to take him home and that was last night.
Why should I give a damm about someone who acts like a d!¢khead. I so much wish he can just stay in that boring Africa and never return here because he’s just going to frustrate me with those boring decisions of his.
“He’s coming out. ” Nanny Best said walking to me.
She looked excited and I wonder if she’s not one of his who-res but another thing is, Nanny Best is way too older than him and she has been like a grandmother to me ever since Mom died. She is the one I grew up with while my wonderful father in quote travels from one country to another and spend most of his time with his who-res.
“Oh, there he is. “She walk closer to him and embr@ce him while I just keep staring at him. He looks different from the last time I saw him, maybe a little darker, he’s wearing a brown coat which I see him pu-lling off.
” I’m so happy you’re finally here. “Nanny Best said dragging his box of clothes behind her.
” Me too. “He replied but I kept my cool.
” J., won’t you say hi to your Dad? “Nanny Best said glaring at me.
” What for? “I turn my face to him.
“… It’s not like I’m excited to meet him and besides his pres£nce is only going to make things worst. ”
Well that’s true because I’ll just keep on remembering how my mom died. It’s all his fault.
“It’s okay Nanny. ” He said with a smile then stretch his coat to me.
“At least you can help me with the coat. ” He said and I laugh a little because my own dad is acting funny.
“And because…? You know you’re asking for too much. I’m outta here. ” I angrily walk to my car and sped off to only God knows where but definitely not that house. I don’t even have any friends to visit because I’m a one man army.
Friends are just bad luck.

Mirrah’s Pov 🏆
[New York City]
…..
I check the wall clock for the 20th time and it’s quarter past 12pm. Are these couples coming home or what?
They’ve been to this thera-pist since 8am and they’re not back yet.
I wonder what is taking them so long and my dad is just a shameless fool and I hate him for cheating on mom. Imagine he has been having an affair with his mistress for the past 17years and we didn’t even know about it? How can he do that to Mom after all the sacrifices she has made for him.
My name is Mirrah Danforth Blues but I go with Mirrah Blues in school, Danforth is just my mom’s last name. I have a sandy colored curly hair that falls down my shoulder and I’m of average height and we are comfortable even though we’re not rich as the rich want it. I’m supposed to be my dad’s only child/daughter until dad’s infidelity got in the way and he and his mistress have a child together, a girl of same age who goes by the name Florence. I’ve not seen her tho, It’s just recently Mom found out about Dad’s extra marital affairs and she confront him about it and to my greatest shock he didn’t even deny the fact that he has a woman and a child outside marriage. Mom st©pped talking to him but one night she made a proposal to go see a marriage thera-pist maybe to save their marriage but one thing I’m very sure of is that, there is no marriage to save as long as this family is concerned.
“Mirrah dear, we’re home! ”
I jump down from my be-d as I hear Mom called and I ran downstairs to welcome her.
“I was worried. ” I said ignoring Dad.
“Won’t you at least greet your Dad. ” She said and I just glance at home and back at Mom.
“I don’t want to. ” I said and sit on the same couch he’s sitting.
“You shouldn’t be rude Mirrah, your dad made a mistake. ” She said and sit on the same couch putting me in the middle but did she just say he made a mistake? For 17years, is that considered as a mistake? I don’t even want to talk about it.
“So, what happened with the thera-pist? ” I ask her.
“Well, we’ve found the solution to our problem. ” She said smiling. I didn’t even turn to look at my dad’s face.
“Which is? ” I ask her.
“The thera-pist suggests that we relocate, move to another country if we still want to save our marriage. ” She said just smiling. I guess she really loves my Dad so much for her to take things likely with him.
“What? Hold on, which country are we moving to? ” I ask her, I just don’t want to talk to Dad. I’m very angry at him and if Mom has forgiven him alre-ady, well I haven’t.
“Your dad have to decide that. ” She said and I just felt the urge of punching her. Why is she allowing him to have a choice?
What if he decides to relocate to where his other who-res are? Why is Mom too nice? Now I believe too much niceness can be a disease. She shouldn’t have given him a choice.

Chapter 2[New York]
Mark Pov 🚩
I now realize how much much wife loves me. Despite what I’ve done to her, she still choose to forgive me and allow us to start again but can I really leave Lillian and our daughter Florence behind? Especially now that Lillian is sick and nee-ds me by her side. I’m confused who to choose but one thing I’m very sure of is that I love Lillian so much and I can’t leave her behind and the best way to settle this is to fly them to Washington too and Hannah does not have to know. I hope I’m doing the right thing.
Mirrah POV 💠
Nothing is appealing to me anymore, I just cannot believe we’re leaving just like that because Dad’s woman is here in New York and I’ll leave everything behind, my life?
I scratch my sandy colored hair and it all falls on my face, I manage to push it back as I sit on the be-d in my room and exhale and my phone start ringing, I turn my n£¢k to the left and pick up my phone that is laying on the be-d, I press the answer bu-tton and place the phone on my ear.
📱I s£nt you countless messages on FB and you didn’t reply any!
I immediately recognize the voice to be Betty’s. Whenever we’re conversing on phone I wonder if she was actually screaming because her voice is loud and sharp.
📱Hi Betty.
I said and I hear her sigh.
📱Are you okay?
She asks.
📱I guess so. I’m sorry I’ll reply your message on FB.
I said and the call got disconnected.
Betty has been my friend ever since preschool and she has been lovely but how I’m I going to break the news to her that we’re leaving New York soon because of my dad?
“You ain’t parking. ”
I raise my head to see Mom standing by the door post. I didn’t even notice when she c@m£ in.
“I never said I was leaving too.. ” I said without even looking at her.
“Mirrah, c’mon. ” She said. I raise my head to see her leaning on the wall close to the door.
“I don’t want to leave! Why must we be the one to pay for Dad’s sin?! He should leave if he wants to. ” I said to her and she got closer to me and sits by my side.
“No one is paying for your dad’s sins alright? This is going to help us start again Mirrah. Don’t you want us to live happily? ” She threw the question at me and the bitter truth is, I do want us to be happy like all those families in the movies but this is real life and there is no such thing as perfect life.
“But, will that st©p dad from living his wreck less life? ” I look at Mom and she ti-ght£ñed her face at me, I was wrong when I said that but she can’t imagine how hurt I am.
“You ain’t helping Mirrah. ”
“I’m sorry Mom. ” I apologize and she stands up.
“Start parking. ” She said and walk out of the room.
I l@ymy back on the be-d and hold my phone to my face, I’ll start parking after waking up.
I refuse to be pressurize because of Dad.
I scroll to my Facebook app and cli-ck on it after switching on my data and in no time the timeline appears and the first post I saw was that of our school president Fernard McKings my best friend’s crush and to my greatest surprise he post Betty’s picture about seven of them and captioned it with: The most pretty Damsel in Williams High
I g@sp after re-ading it. Hold on, is that what Betty was trying to tell me?
Oh my God!
I exclaim as I open my messages and Betty is the third on the line.
📩You left school even before the whole school dismiss.
Yeah, and I’m sorry I did. I was so not happy and because Betty talks alot and I might end up getting annoyed which I don’t want to happen.
📩Guess what Mirrah!
📩Fernard finally confessed his love for me! 💜
📩He made it known to me after almost everyone has left school.
📩He rescheduled our first d@t£ this Saturday night 😁
📩Oh my God I’m so excited
📩By the way how is your family?
She knew about what my family has been going throu-gh but seriously I do not want to talk about it.
All along I thought Betty was the only one crushing. I even told her to st©p giving the guy so much attention but look at what it turned to be, he has been pretending all this while about having feelings for my friend.
Guys, will never seize to amaze me. I should reply her.
💬My parent decided that we’re leaving the country.
I can’t. I deleted the message immediately, I nee-d to see her first and talk to face to face.
💬We’ll chat later.
I s£nt that instead. She’s still typing but I logged out immediately even before the message delivered and I feel my eyes teary. I hate you dad.
Florence POV 💄
Why do I have to re-ad this boring novel anyway? I closed it and turn to my left to see Mom starring at her phone, I’m sure she’s expecting a phone call or a text message from my Dad but the truth is he won’t call or text her because the witch he has as a wife wouldn’t let him..
I am very positive that Dad loves I and Mom very much more than those legal family of his.
My name is Florence Blues and the child if my parents Mark and Lillian. Dad was f0rç£d into marrying that woman who causes him pain everyday but the truth is he loves us very much and just recently I heard that his other wife and daughter Mirrah has found out and she insisted that they leave the country.
Isn’t it that when you love someone you let them go? She should just agree to divorce my dad so that him and my mom can get married and we’ll be happy.
I don’t care about Mirrah and her mother as long as I am happy.
I stare at my Mom again and her gaze hasn’t drifted from the phone. Is she serious right now? Because dad is not going to call her, it’s not his fault but the witch’s he calls a wife.
“He won’t. ” I said and she turn to me. My Mom has been sick for months now and she told me that it’s just normal for her kind of job, she looks weak and vulnerable, her hair doesn’t look like the way they used to because I and Mom has the same color of hair black and straight we only curl it occasionally like mine, I curled it a little before going to school today.
“I know. ” She replied weakly and drop her phone. My Mom is just too nice to fight back, she shouldn’t have allowed Dad to return to that woman because we are the ones he truly loves and adore.
“You’re not going to st©p Dad from leaving? ” I ask and she stare at me for a while probably wondering how I found out.
“You were talking so loud. ” I added.
“I’m not going to do that. ” She said and slowly rest her back on the couch.
“You have to Mom. Can’t you see it in his eyes earlier that he doesn’t want to leave? Dad loves us very much and he’s just waiting for you to tell him to stay. ” I said to her while she maintained her position.
“More reason why I’m not going to. He has a family. ” She replied.
If not because she’s my mother I would have said she’s going nuts.
He has a legal family yes, but he doesn’t love them can’t she un-derstand that!!!
“And we’re some cabbage? Mom, we also have rights to him as well as them. ” I said and she smile weakly.
“The only thing I want right now is for Hannah and her daughter to forgive me. ” She said so annoyingly.
“You don’t nee-d their forgiveness. You can’t let dad leave Mom. ” I said and she coughed.
“Get me a glas-s of water. ”
I stand up to go to the kitchen but I didn’t hear her saying anything only for me to turn and see her on the ground.
