“have you been crying? he asked staring keenly at me.
“am… am fine,” i smile.
“i don’t think so, but it okay if you don’t wanna talk about it,” he shrugged.
“dad called me earlier today and he asked me to give you this,” he said as he brou-ght out a new phone from his pocket.
“what! i was shocked as i stare at the phone, it wasn’t just any phone but an iPhone.
“he asked me to buy you this so you can communicate anytime you want with him,” he said.
“thanks,” i smile as i collect the phone from him and stare at it.
“thanks lot, i guess today is my lucky day. Getting admission and now a new phone,” i chuckle.
“but isn’t he coming soon? i asked.
“he will be on his way tomorrow,” he said while i nodded.
“okay, goodnight,” he said before leaving.
I smile as i sat on my bed, now i don’t have to be bored all the time since i have a new phone. Phone has always been a companion when i feel bored. I giggle as i go throu-ghthe contact, it was just four number that were saved- Mrs. Gina, Dr. Nigel, nanny kora and i was surprised by the other contact. Drake saved his number on my phone!
I quickly changed his name from Drake to Mr. Grumpy. Good this suits him more. I called his line and i smile while it rang.
“Bianca,” i heard his voice from the other end, i know he’s in his room and he might be wondering why i called.
“uhmm.. thanks again am glad you saved your number on my phone,”
“oh! nanny Kora was the one that saved those numbers and i guess she include mine,” he said perfunctorily while i felt disappointed.
“okay, whichever way thanks anyway,” i said then hanged up. Drake can be so silly atimes.
I quickly saved mom’s number on my phone and i called her to know how dad was doing, we talked for a long time but i didn’t tell her about the admission Mrs. Harriet offered me maybe till me meet face to face and i hope she will agree to that.
Ellen’s POV▪▪
I felt so relief when i talked to Bianca last night thank goodness she was doing fine and hopefully Nigel will return today and she might come home tomorrow i can’t wait to see her again, Jones will be so happy to see her too.
Yen, Bianca’s friend from school came the other day to know if we heard anything about Bianca but i told her we haven’t yet, i wanted to tell her not to worry because Bianca is still alive but Bianca has already told me not to tell anyone until she finally showed up.
“but don’t you think you should go extra mile to search for her? Yen asked.
“i wish i could, i wish i have money to do that but the big problem now is my husband dying. You don’t have to worry i raise Bianca to be strong she will show up when the right time comes,” i said while she nodded looking so sad.
“i hope a day will come when she will come back to us,”
“uhmm Aunt.. guess who will be here in few minutes from now,” she said while i raise my gaze to her.
“who?
“well it gonna be a surprise when he comes,” she smile then dip her hand to her bag and removed an envelope.
“this for you aunt,” she smile and i stare at her then back at the envelope. I collected and open it, i was surprise to see the money inside.
“this my little help, am doing this for the sake of Bianca whenever she will return, i don’t want her to come home without seeing her dad. Mr. Jones deserves to live no matter what. Please accept this because am doing it for the sake of Bianca and even my mom supported me in this,” she said while i smile hearing that from her, even in Bianca’s absence she’s still cares.
“you need this money more than i do Yen, you are now in college and i know it has not been easy for you too,” i said
“but Mr. Jones need this money for his surgery am doing this Bianca, please you have to accept it, it just my little way of helping you,” Yen enthused while i pulled her to a hug.
“thank you so much Yen, if this what you want then Jones will be so happy to know you’ve helped out too,” i smile
“Bianca has always been of help to me even with the little she had, i guess this the only thing i can do to repay the favor by helping out even in her absence, this what true friends do.. right?
“sure Yen, thanks,” i smile. Immediately my phone rang and it was from the doctor.
I rushed to the hospital hoping nothing bad has happen to Jones. I headed straight to the doctor’s office.
“how is my husband? i asked so worried.
“he’s surgery will commence today,” he said and i was shocked hearing that, i haven’t paid the complete money.
“but…
“you don’t have to worry,” he smiled.
“someone have cleared the bill,” he said and i was more shocked. Who could have done that.. huh?
“who was that? i asked.
“it’s a secret for now, you don’t have to worry, instead you should be glad your husband will soon be on his feet,” he said while i just nodded trying to think who could have pay such amount of money.
fEW HOURS lATER…✨
I paced to and fro, praying Jones surgery will turn out well, i hope he survived this and i prayed he should be given this one last chance to be with his family again, once this surgery is successful and once Bianca is home we will leave the city and start a new life somewhere else. I later called Bianca and told her someone has already paid for her dad surgery and all he needed now is our prayer.
????”but mom.. who could be that person? she asked.
???? “i don’t know Bianca, that’s the reason i wanted you to come home soon. I can’t do this alone,”
???? “i know mom and am sorry for all this, i guess i will be coming home tomorrow,”
???? “okay Bianca just keep praying for your dad,” i said then hanged up.

Bianca’s POV▪▪
I felt so happy to know dad’s Surgery has already taken place, i hope it turned out fine but i still wondered who have cleared the bill, paying that huge amount of money and then not revealing him or herself to us. Who is that person!
▪▪ Dr. Nigel came home late in the evening. I was so happy to see him, he’s just like a guardians angel to me and i felt so happy being close to him and even getting to know his family. I have never for once thought i will ever get to even see nor talk to him but here i am living with them as if am part of there family.
After dinner we talked about lots of things and i also thanked him for the phone he asked Drake to buy for me.
“so have you contact your parents? he asked.
“sure, i was able to contact my uncle” i said trying to act normal, i don’t want to do this but we’ve talked about this with mom, she said i shouldn’t disclose anything to them about my family.
“but what about your parents? Mrs. Gina asked.
“it been long i heard from my mom but i will be staying with my uncle for the main time,” i said while Drake stare at me from where he was sitting, he was busy with his phone but stopped when i was talking, it as if he didn’t believe wat am saying.
“uhmm …am really grateful for your help and i promise to repay you someday. Thank you so much but now that am feeling much better my uncle need me at home,” i said.
“it’s okay Bianca, it’s your choice and am glad you’re finally okay. I will take you home and i hope those who did that to you will pay for it,” Dr. Nigel said
“thank you Sir, but i have already talked to my uncle and he’s coming here to picked me up. I have to gather some information like to know the whereabout Mr. Morris and Gary before we take any action,” i said while he nodded.
“am okay with that, just give me a call whenever you need me,” he said and i nodded with a smile.
“thank you,”
“and i was hoping to get Mrs. Harriet number too so i could tell her am leaving tomorrow and also thanked her for her kindness towards me again,” i said.
“you don’t have to worry Harriet promise to drop by tomorrow just to say bye to you, she really like you,” Mrs. Gina said with a smile, i felt so happy everyone here likes me well except for grumpy Drake and his girlfriend, they both suit each other with their attitude.
“and hope you’re still taking your medication,” Dr. Nigel asked.
“sure i want to be more stronger to face those wolves that hurt me,” i said while we all laughed except Drake, he shook his head, stood up and headed to the stairs.
.. After a little chit chats with them we all retired to our rooms and i felt so sad, some part of me don’t want to leave maybe because i enjoyed the luxury and peace of mind here,
living in a big mansion and having a life of a princess, loved by everyone as i have always dream but then i need to see mom and dad. We’ve planned everything already and Cyril will be coming here to pick me up. Cyril was our neighbor and also a friend to dad i know he will act so well like my uncle but to be honest am not happy lying to those people. They’ve helped me a lot and the only thing i could repay them was to hide my identity from them but i just have to listen mom for now, maybe when she tells me everything i will know what to do..
“Bianca,” i heard Drake’s voice from outside and i open the door, he was looking so angry this time as he stare at me.
“that was a good one,” he smirk.
“what?
“for lying to my parents, not after what they did to you,”
“lying.. i didn’t…
“don’t dare you deny anything,” he yelled stopping me from talking further.
“that’s the reason why i never like you the very first day i set my eyes on you. I knew you would betrayed and threw their kindness back to their faces,” he said angrily.
“what did you mean? i asked trying to sound bold and defend myself but my voice failed me, it came out so low and i feel so guilty, my body was weak hearing that from him already, how did he knew i was lying.
“why will you have to lie to them while you have your parents. I heard you talking to your mom on phone, asking her about your dad’s surgery. I heard every of your conversation you bit-ch ,” he yelled and i felt so angry hearing him calling me that.
“you have no right to get angry at me for doing this, i have my own reason,” i quickly wipe the tears threatening to come out from my eyes.
“i have every right to be angry because you’re fooling us all, you have the gut to fooled my parents not after what they did to you. Who are those your parents that you don’t want us to know huh? are they one heck of evil people,”
“don’t dare you talk about my parents that way,” i yelled.
“then don’t dare you try to fool my parents by lying to them,” he yelled back.
“just get out of my room,”
“really,” he laughed sarcastically.
“this is my house and only me have the right to say such thing. I don’t think dad will ever gonna trust you again once he found out about this,” he said and with that he turn to leave.
“go ahead and tell them everything but God knows my heart and heaven knows that am grateful for what your parents did to me but don’t try to judge me okay! because you don’t know me, you don’t know what i have been throu-gh, you don’t fu-cking know anything about me so you don’t have any right to judge me. Am doing what am asked to do and i think i did the right thing for peace to reign,” i yelled in tears, i felt so horrible with myself. Drake was quiet for some time hearing that, he moved more closer to me.
“you don’t have to say anything go ahead and tell your parents,” i said wiping my tears.
“m.. am sorry,” he muttered and before i could realize he pulled me into a hug.
“am sorry if i was harsh with my words… you can confide in me,” he said calmly, hugging me so tight to him, i didn’t push him back- maybe i really need this hug, i need someone to talk to, i need a shoulder to cry on…????
