Vivian looked at the time again. She squee-zed her face this time.
She left her room and opened the door angrily.

She ignored him.
He isn’t home yet? She asked.
No
And he still hasn’t picked up his calls.
Mum! Why are you worried anyways, he might be at work.
At this ungodly hour of the night she retorted almost yelling.

Vivian opened her eyes wi-de and looked at him.
Tell him I’m asleep… Okay? She said.
Alright he replied as he left the room
Vivian ran to her room,and la-id on the be-d closing her eyes.
Dad welcome Michael greeted.
He replied with a soft smile.
What of your mum?
Uhmm… She is asleep.
Oh okay… He nodded as he left.
He went to the freezer and took a bottle of wine. He opened it and poured it in a wine bottle.
After drinking,he left to the room. He opened the door and found Vivian asleep.
He went to be-d and stared at Vivian.
Are you really asleep? I thought you would be waiting for me?
Vivian turned her face to the other side and opened her eyes.
Why were you late? She asked with a cold voice.
Seems you weren’t asleep after all
Answer me!
Geez… I was at work okay….i just had somethings to run you know?
Okay she said as she closed her eyes.

She placed her hands around him.

She smiled at him.

Chapter 5
Stella bit her f!nger sharply as she watched her husband,stiles at the other side of the be-d laughing. He had been on his phone all day, probably texting.
Who are you chatting with? She asked not looking at him.
Stiles faced her and sighed. His mood changed immediately
What do you take me for? Here! He said showing her his phone.
She curiously looked at it and saw he was re-ading a joke he saw online.
Stella looked at him embarras-sed.
I’m sorry She muttered.
It’s okay he replied looking at his phone.
Victory alre-ady saw her results She said with a smile.
When did she apply for college? He asked.
What do you mean by that statement? Did you alre-ady forget?
Oh Goodness!I’m so sorry babe,i totally forgot.
Why won’t you forget, you never have time for us, you never remember my birthday not victory’s….you have never even bought her a gift. All you even know is to leave the house unnoticed and come home without notice too… And then you take your phone and keep on smiling all day!!
Stella! I thought we have been throu-gh this! He stormed.
I nee-d to get a cu-p of water she said as she stood from the be-d. She went outside and met victory by the door.
Vic… What are you doing here? Stella asked with a smile.
Liar! Victory said with a weak voice. She ran to her room, c@mÂŁ out with a designer’s bag and threw it on the floor besides Stella.
What do you think you are doing? Stella asked dejectedly.
I should be the one asking you that!Mum…what do you think you are doing? Did you pity me as bad decided to pl@ywith me? You said dad bought this designer’s bag for me congratulating me because I did well on my college exams… Can’t believe you lied!
I can explain Stella said trying to get close to her.
Don’t t©uçh me! I should blame you now instead of dad! She said with tears as she left to her room.
Stella stood dejected.She sat on the floor as she held her l@ps ti-ght.
h0t tears flowed from her eyes.
