🌼CHAPTER 21🌼
🌺STEPHANIE’S POV🌺
Excuse me ma’am, do you know me? Oh! You obviously know me because you just called my name. I said
You’re really Stephanie, Like my Stephanie? She said and tried tou-ching me but I ducked abit.
I’m sorry ma’am, but what do you mean by that, why did you call me your Stephanie? I asked and observed her.
OMG!!! she looks just like the older me, I said as I c@m£ to realize after observing her very well. I hope it’s not what I’m thinking? I thought inwardly and looked at the little boy.
I swear, the boy looks just like me,I didn’t notice it when I c@m£ in earlier. Are we related? I asked myself inwardly.
Are you really my daughter? My lost daughter? She asked.
Huh? I muttered with my eyes wi-de-ned.
I’m sorry, I’m an orphan. I lost my parents years ago, plea-se don’t mistake me for your lost daughter… I said
Why do I look so much like you and why do you look so much like my mom? Are you my big sister? The little boy asked
Mom! Is she my lost sister that you’ve been telling me about? He asked his mom
It’s you, it’s really you Stephanie. Where have you been all these years? She said with tears welled up in her eyes.
I’m sorry to say this, but I think you’re mistaken. I’m not who you think I am, I’m an orphan. I said
Stephanie, I’m your mother. I gave birth to you, how can I not recognise the daughter I gave birth to? I know right from the moment I sighted you.
plea-se, don’t ignore me. I know a lot happened but let’s sort everything out. OMG! I can’t believe the daughter I’ve been looking for walked right into my house. She said with so much pain in her voice.
I don’t have a mother and I’m not your daughter!!! I shouted
Let’s go for a DNA test to prove it, I really nee-d you. I’ve been in trauma for the past nineteen years, I know you’re shocked and can’t just accept the fact now but plea-se let’s sort our differences out… She pleaded
I’m out of here! I don’t think I can work here… I said and ran out, trying not to cry in her pres£nce
Wait! the little boy said and ran after me.
What’s wrong? Kendrick said as I got to the car.
What happened, who Is he? He asked as he stared at the little boy with confusion written on his face.
Let’s go!!! I yelled at him and he c@m£ in immediately.
So can you tell me what happened? Why did you come out in such an hurry and crying at the same time? He asked as I finally settled down at home.
Turns out the employer is my mum and the child I’m going there for is my blood brother… I replied with an heavy sigh.
Is that why I think the little boy looks so much like you? He asked and I nodded.
So what did you say or do when she told you that?
I told her she’s mistaken, of course I’m not her daughter. We could only have had the same look coincidentally.
I know you’re angry and surprised for seeing her for the first time in your life but you shouldn’t have concluded like that.
She might probably be the mom you’ve been looking for and think your prayers has finally been answered. Why don’t you give her a chance to explain to you what happened exactly and why she dumped you years ago, So let’s give her a chance.
I’m not interested in that matter, plea-se I nee-d time to reflect on what I’ve been taught. I’ve got a competition ahead of me… I said and la-id back on the couch.
Seriously! Why are you so stubborn? Isn’t this an opportunity to show Ashley and others that you’re no longer the poor Stephanie?
Your mom is rich, why do you insist on suffering? You’ve had enough alre-ady. Give her a chance to make it up to you, at least hear her out.
OMG! I can’t believe I made you meet your mom. This is indeed a coincidence… Tessa said
Seriously, you both should leave me alone, what if I hadn’t met her? You think I wouldn’t make it in life without her money? Imma struggle to make it in life without any parent’s help, trust me.
“In fact! I’m out of here” I said and left her side
🌞Days Later🌞
Kendrick! Kendrick!! Kendri… I called out his name as I heard someone knocking the door.
Yes! Why are you yelling out my name like that, what’s wrong? He said as he walked into the sitting room.
“Oh! Thanks for this” I said and snatched the jui-ce he was holding from him.
Someone is at the door, I don’t know who it is, so go check it out…I said and drank from the jui-ce.
Seriously? You called me because there’s someone at the door and you couldn’t have just go attend to the person.
What if I’m not around? He said
Well! Thank God You’re around, I’m tired and I can’t walk that’s why I called you. I said
But you had the strength to walk to me when you wanted to collect the jui-ce, isn’t it?
“Don’t waste the person’s time” I said and the person pressed the bell just as I said the word.
“Go open that door before I carry you there” he said and I scoffed.
You think I’m joking right, fine! let’s see if you wo… He said and c@m£ to me to carry me
Oh! Oh!! I’ll go open it. You know I wouldn’t allow you carry me and that’s why you choose to threaten me with it, right? Don’t worry, imma do mine too. I said
“You’re wasting time” he said and bent to Carry me and i ran off
Excuse me, whom are you seeking for? I asked the woman i met at the entrance but a girl suddenly c@m£ to me and entered the house.
Excuse me why did you enter someone else’s house without permission? I asked pu-lling the girl back.

🌼CHAPTER 22🌼
🌺STEPHANIE’S POV🌺
“Let go of me, I’m only here to find my brother” the girl yelled and j£rked my hand off her.
And who is your brother? I asked.
Who is looking for a brother? Kendrick asked without looking at us.
Kendrick!!! The girl shouted on hearing his voice and he turned to look at her immediately.
Angela? He called and the girl re-leased herself from my hold and ran to meet him.
I finally found you Ken, i’ve regained my memory. where have you been, why did you let them chase out of the house? I missed you so much… The girl said as she cried
I’m sorry for leaving you, I missed you too and have always hope you’d regain your memory and look for me…he replied too.
Wow! I can’t believe you found your family too. Your mom’s here, you two should re-lease yourself alre-ady… I said.
How do you expect me to leave him when I haven’t seen him in years. I miss my brother so much… The girl said.
Son! How have you been? The woman said causing them to dis£ngage from the hvg.
Son? Wow! Did you just call me your son? Like you just called the renowned murderer your son?
Have you forgotten about the statement you and your husband said to me?
I would’ve asked my gatekeeper to throw you out of my house if not because of my sister. You dare walk into my house and call me your son. Isn’t that too shameful of the mother you call yourself?… He said to her
OMG! you built this house yourself? Awwn! I love you so much brother. I’ve always known you’d make it in life.
I’m so sorry for causing you the troubles. You wouldn’t have been thrown out if not for my disappearance. plea-se forgive mom and dad for what they did… His sister said to persuade him.
You want me to forgive them when they’re not even sorry for what they did? Do you think they’d ever come to find me if you hadn’t regained your memory?
“Of course I’m sorry, plea-se forgive me” she said interfering and he sh0t her a glare
You think they’d ever forgive me if you hadn’t been found? I wonder why I was born of this woman.
Every mother I know would stand up for their son no matter the situation, but this one here is the total opposite of every other mother out there. He replied his sister
Your mother isn’t the only one, my mother is too. So plea-se try to forgive her. I said
If you dare ask me to forgive her again, then imma throw you out of my house… He snarled at me
Did you just say you’d throw me our because I asked you to forgive your mother? I’m sorry I’d leave your house. Thanks for accommod@t!ngme… I said
You couldn’t forgive your mother and give her a chance either, so don’t you ever tell me what to do… He yelled
“I’m Stephanie” I said to the girl stretching my hand for handshake.
“I’m Angela” she replied and took my hands, looking perplexed.
“It’s nice meeting you” I said and went into my room to pack my belongings.
Bye ma’am, I hope you sort out your misun-derstanding soon… I said to his mom and left.
“Stephanie wait! I’m sorry” he said but I ignored him and went out of the house.
“You caused this, that girl has nowhere to go. I swear I won’t ever forgive you if she refuses to come back with me” I heard him say as I walked away
🌺Kendrick’s POV🌺
Kendrick! Don’t you dare follow that girl, she isn’t our family member. So why chasing after her when mom’s here because of you. That’d be so disrespectful of you if you leave mom behind for the girl… Angela said as I was about leaving the house.
I have no mother, the mother I have got lost years back.. I replied and tried leaving but she ran to my front, thereby st©pping me from moving further.
Son! plea-se forgive me, I know I’ve wronged you and I’ve hurt your feelings. I want you to forget about what happened in the past and forgive me, let’s reunite.
I regret ever supporting your father, I know I failed as a mother. I’ve always lived to regret my actions, I’m re-ady to make it up to you. Forgive me Ken, I love and miss you so much… She apologized
How on earth did you find me, how did you know where I’m living? Why do you have to come now that everything is fine with my life? Why! Why!! Why!!! I yelled in frustration.
plea-se forgive our parents, everything happened because of me. Let go of the past, plea-se.
Forgive them plea-se, I promise to go look for the girl for you even though I don’t know who she is yet… Angela said.
I left them and went to my room. I tried calling Stephanie’s numbers but she’s turned them off.
Why did I say those words to her? I asked myself and stood up immediately to go search for her. Only to meet Angela and mom standing at the entrance of my room.
I ignored them and walked away but Angela pu-ll-ed me back. “What about us”? she asked.
Fine! I’ve forgiven her she’s my mother after all, but I’m not going back to your house. You can always come here anytime you wish… I said and mom pu-ll-ed me to herself immediately and hvgged me ti-ght.
“Thank you so much son, I missed you so much” she said in tears.
“Of course I’ve missed my mother’s t©uçh, care and affection too” I thought not knowing when tears started streaming down my cheek.
Will you forgive your father too? plea-se do. He just guilty and conscience has been eating him up, that’s why he couldn’t come here with us. She said as she ca-ressed my cheek
I know who my brother is, I trust you. Thanks for bringing genuine smile on mom’s face again… Angela said and c@m£ to join in the hvg.
Now, Let’s go look for your friend before it’s too late… Mom said and they both held my hand.
You’re still gonna tell me how you were able to locate me… I said and they both nodded.
It’s late alre-ady, why don’t we return today and continue searching for her tomorrow? Besides, She’s gonna come to school tomorrow. You can settle your misun-derstanding then… Angela opined and somehow I agreed.
I got to school the next day, but she didn’t come. Not even Tessa knows her whereabout. That got me really worried and I regret ever venting my anger on her.
She refused to come to school throu-ghout the week and that made everyone think she’s quit.
“Oh Lord! plea-se I really wanna find this girl today” I prayed silently before stepping out of the house.
I went in search of her for a while before finally heading back to school.
“This is a new week and she still isn’t in school” I said and hit the steering out of frustration.
I got to school and headed to the clas-s but st©pped when I heard some voices at the school backyard.
I can see you’ve decided to come back to school. Oh! You must’ve been hustling ha-rd on the streets.
I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw Stephanie looking perfectly fine.
Too bad, I told you I’ll make you regret ever coming to our house. You can never be rich and that’s why I despise you so much. I hate the poor so much. Ashley said to Stephanie
I nee-d you to leave this school finally, your pres£nce irritates me. Seeing you makes me cringe.
I stood behind to observe what’s gonna happen, I can’t st©p her this time.
Go away! She said and pushed her. Flora went behind her and pu-ll-ed her hair, go away!! She shouted and kicked her. Irene too joined and they started beating her up.
I was about going to interfere but st©pped when I saw Stephanie do just what I had expected.
I couldn’t help but laugh when saw her beat them up with a belt. Wonder where she got it from, it’s like she’d planned it.
The three friends ran off while she chased them till they got to the main compound where everyone would see them.
Tell me what I did to offend you, tell me why you choose to maltreat me because I’m poor. Tell me!!! Tell me!!! Tell me!!! She yelled while still beating them.
Students gathered around them Immediately and she didn’t hesitate to beat those that tried moving close to them.
The teachers c@m£ to interfere too but she threatened to beat anyone up.
Tell me why everyone in this school hate me because I’m a poor orphan. She said and continued beating the girls
Wow! She’s tied them together, how come I never saw that coming. I never knew she could be this angry and crazy too. I thought
Tell me why every student believes this school isn’t for we poor kids. I nee-d an explanation.
I won’t st©p until someone gives me an explanation… She said and beat them more.
Everyone feared her and no one dared to move closer because she looks nothing different from an angry demon
“It’s time I interfere” I said to myself and walked past the students. I st©pped when I saw the school owner’s son walk up to her and held her hand when she was about wh!pping them again.
She turned and gave him a sl@p but he didn’t budge. Let go of my hand, you think you can st©p me from punishing them?
Didn’t every one including the teachers turn blind eyes to it when they were bullying me.
Let go off me now!!! She yelled
He held her two hands and hvgged her.
Huh? I muttered
TBC…
Who else saw this coming🤔
I hope those of you hating Stephanie for being a fool can now be convinced she’s not?🙄
