“Let’s talk outside.”, Kyle said dragging pearl outside.
“What are you doing here pearl?”, He asked her.
“I’m sorry for disturbing you, I just came to see Bryan and Emma and spend some time with them.”, She replied and Kylie laughed.
“Are you serious pearl? Did you think I was joking when I said they wouldn’t be pa-rt of your life? After so many years, you just woke up from your sleep asking to see my children.”, Kyle said.
“Please allow me to see them, I have missed them so much.”, She pleaded.
“I’m sorry but that’s impossible, they have a new and responsible mother who wouldn’t abondon them and leave her husband for another man.”, He said in fury.
“I didn’t leave because of Carl.”, She said and he rolled his eyes.
“You don’t nee-d to deny it, you and Carl’s relationship was all around America.”, He said and pearl just closed her eyes.
“I am not here for you okay? I just want to spend time with our children.”, She said
“Our children? The same children you abondoned? Well I’m sorry to disappoint you but no way am I going to let you see them and I will advice you leave now.”, He said as he slammed the door very ha-rd when he entered.
“Are you okay Kyle?”, Erica asked following him upstairs because he seemed upset.
They had planned on going out but it seems that wasn’t going to happen anymore.
“Who was that? Your secret lover? Are you cheating on me now?”, Erica bombarded him with questions.
“It was pearl.”, He replied.
“Do you mean your ex-wife?”, She asked quite shocked and Kyle nodded.
“What does she want?”, She asked but there was no response.
“Are you still in love with her? Do you want to get back together?”, Erica asked angrily.
“What are you talking about?”, He looked at her with a frown.
“I saw the way you looked at her when you were staring at each other.”, She fired.
“Look Erica… I don’t love her anymore, it’s you I love now and nothing is going to change that.”, He said holding her hands.
“Promise?”, She asked.
“Promise.”
“So what does she want?”
“She wants to spend some time with the kids.”, He replied.
“What was your response?”
“I refused.”, He answered and she nodded.
“Can’t you just give them the kids? We can have all the time all to ourselves.”, She said but when she noticed Kyle’s Expression she added.
“I’m just kidding darling.”, She said and let out a laugh.

“I have been worried about you, how did it go?”, Twinkle asked pearl who just arrived at her hotel room.
“How did it go?”, She asked again but pearl only sighed.
“I have unpacked your things and I will be going to my house soon.”, Twinkle said and pearl turned to look at her.
“House?”
“Yes I rented a house but it is just for the period of time we will be staying here.”, She replied and pearl nodded.

📞 “What do you mean by pearl dropped by at your house?”, Jayden asked still confused.📞
📞” By saying pearl, do you mean your ex-wife?”📞
📞”Which other pearl do you know? Let’s just talk later.”, Kyle said and hung up even before could say anything.📞
📞”Wait … Before you hang up …📞
Jayden didn’t even get to finish his statement, he just sighed.
“Hi do you stay here?”, A lady asked him with a sweet smile.
“Yeah! Any problem?”, Jayden asked staring as her as he placed his phone in Phone in his back pocket.
“Not at all… I’m your new neighbors for now.”, She said.
“Twinkle.”, She said asking for a handshake.
“Jayden.”, He replied shaking her hand.
“Nice meeting you.”, She said.
“Same.”
“Since you are new here, why don’t you join me for dinner tonight?”, Jayden asked.
“That’s so sweet of you, thank you.”, She replied.
“Is that a yes?”
“Yes it is.”, She said and they laughed.
“See you soon.”, He said as he typed his p@$$word and entered this apa-rtment.
Twinkle just smiled as she held her che-st.
“No this isn’t happening again.”, She said touching her che-st.

“Daddy who was that woman? What does she want?”, Ryan asked.
“Why did you take her outside?”, Emma added to the question.
Kyle just looked at them not knowing what to say.
“She’s your mother who abondoned you three years ago, now she’s wants to see how you are doing.”, Erica blurted.
He looked at Erica like “You should have allowed me to handle this.”
“Dad is that true?”, They asked and he nodded slowly.
“Why didn’t she talk to us then?”, Emma asked pouting her mouth.
“She abondoned us Emma, we Shouldn’t talk to her.”, Ryan said.
“But she is still our mother.”, Emma protested.
“You can acknowledge her as your mother but to me she isn’t my mom, my mom died years back.”, He said and left.
“Ryan wait for me.”, Emma said running after him.
“You should have allowed me to do the talking.”, He scolded.
“So that you will defend that woman in front of the kids.”, Erica snapped.
“You know that I won’t do that.”
“I hope so, you can’t leave me and go back to that woman, our marriage is in 5 months.”, She said and he nodded.
“I love you Erica.”, He said as he pec-ked her.
“I love you too.” She replied kizzing him back and he dee-pened it.
“Wait! Let me lock the door before the kids disturbs us again.” She said breaking the kizz to lock the door.
#Next day
Pearl left her hotel very early in order to meet Ryan and Emma before they leave for school.
She wants to go drop them.
“Hi.”, She greeted Kyle but he didn’t reply.
“I just want to ask if I can take them to school.”, She said awkwardly.
“I’m afraid you can’t.”, He said as he walked p@$$ her.
“Kyle you can’t do this to me, I know I made a mistake by leaving them behind but I don’t regret leaving you.”, She said and Kyle scoffed.
“Ryan and Emma let’s go.” He said about to enter his car but pearl held his hand.
“Just give me a chance, I will talk to them.”, She said and kyke glared at her and she removed her hand immediately.
“Your mom wants to take you to school kids, are you willing to go with her?”, He asked.
“Yes.”, Emma said walking towards pearl but Ryan held her back.
“No.”, He said p-ulling Emma towards their daddy’s car.
“Ryan … Emma I know that it was stupid for me to leave you guys and I sincerely apologise but now I am ready to change everything.”, She said.
“I promise to make it up to you and your mom will do anything.”
“We will have a new mommy soon.”, Emma said.
“We don’t want you back into our lives, dad is getting married and aunt Erica will be our new mom.”, Ryan said.
“I just want to spend some time before I go back.”, She said as she tried to fight tears.
“If you are going to go back then you shouldn’t have come here to keep their hopes high, if you are worried about them then you have nothing to worry about.”, Kyle said as he opened the door for Ryan and Emma to enter.
“We nee-d to talk later, let’s meet in my office later.”, He said as his enter the car and drove off.
“Why does this hurt so much?”, pearl asked wiping the tear that managed to roll down.

“Erica why are you so worried? I see no reason for you to worry just because Kyle’s ex-wife is back.”, Dina said holding Erica.
“Of course I should be worried, I saw the way he looked at her when they first met. I know how much he loved her before he got over her.”
“To make matter worse, she wants to be pa-rt of the kid’s life and they ha-rdly respect me, talk less of calling me mom.”, she added.
“You are getting married to him so you shouldn’t worry.” Dina @$$ured.
“Are you even thinking Dina? A marriage can be called off. What I want you to say is a solution on how I can get rid of her permanently.”, Erica said pacing round the house.
“She came for the kids right? Why don’t you turn them against her so that she would leave?”, Dina suggested.
“How would I do that?”, She asked.
“Say all sort of things about her, make them think that she is the worst. Just say anything to poison their mind.”, Dina said and Erica smiled.
“What about Kyle?”
“You can just cook something up like she slept around to get to where she is or just say something…!”, Dina said and Erica hu-gged her.
“You are the best friend ever.”, She said and Dina smiled.
“Just show her that her reign is over and that you are the queen now.”, Dina said and Erica smi-rked.
“I will do just that.”, She said.
