********
Stella eyes blurred,She also felt dizzy. She held her forehead and turned to victory.
“What all this…. Why didn’t you try to tell me?”
“It’s not her fault” Stiles retorted
Stella walked close to stiles and sl@pped stiles ha-rd .
“Mum!” Victory yelled.
“That’s for using my so-called friend” Stella said bitterly.
She t©uçhed stiles face.
“Is ths what you went throu-gh” She asked pitifully.
Stiles childishly nodded.
“Oh… Sorry, No tou-ching” She said almost removing her hand from his face.
Stiles held her hand
“You can t©uçh me as you want because you are my wife” He said softly.
Stella chuckled blu-shing. She childishly hit his che-st.
“What this… It’s cheesy” Stella said as stiles smiled.
Victory chuckled.
“But what will do about your nightmares, You can’t stay alone… Hey! Vic…. Let’s get into our house” Stella yelled.
“Our?”…Have you forgiven dad?… Yeeesss” Victory said running towards them.
“Who said I forgave him?” Stella said slowly entering the house.
“Look at mum… I’m sure you had forgiven you” Victory said with a smile
“She is a pretty liar” Stiles whispered to her ear as they both laughed and entered the house.

(The next morning)
Vivian walked into her husband company. It was quite busy as the workers ran up and down with different papers, Some were ma-king calls.They all looked tired.
She saw the secretary and walked closer to her.
“Mrs Vivian…Good morning” The secret, Mira said.
Vivian simply nodded.
“Where is my husband?” She asked not looking at Mira.
“Oh… I see you are worried about him, I actually pity him you know”
Vivian pu-ll-ed her sunglas-ses and looked at her.
“I don’t get you” Vivian calmly said.
“I mean your husband,You see… He lent our company profits to one our company worker,Well…To cut long story short, Your husband got duped!”
Vivian looked at her confused.
“What are you talking about?” She asked.
“Oh my…. Don’t tell me you didn’t know, Your husband has been travelling in and out of the country, meeting up with sponsors to bring back the business alive again, We could have gone bankrupt and jobless too, If not for your husband…I guess he pitied us the employees, It was our means of income”.
“So?…You mean my husband has been busy because of all this”.
Mira nodded.
“Though I have good news now, It’s our last day of becoming stressed like this, As you can see the whole workers are all busy trying to keep everything and everywhere in order”
“What do you mean toady is it the last day?” Vivian asked.
“Everything has been settled, We don’t have to be so ti-ght and busy, Business has been back on its seat and it’s all thanks to your husband” Mira said smiling.
“But why would my husband give a common worker such money and he even had himself duped…. Gosh! Who’s that fraud” Vivian lamented.
“It was an employee though, He wasn’t financially stable…i guess that why,I was even surprised why your husband lent him such amount, He’s one of a kind” She whispered.
Vivian chuckled.
“I envy you, Just keep him” Mira smiled.
Soon, Gideon c@m£ out of his office.
“Sir… Your wife is here” Mira said.
Gideon nodded as Vivian walked into his office.
Some men maybe sponsors c@m£ out of his office.
Gideon entered and took some pain relievers.
“I guess today was hectic” Vivian said.
“Everyday is always hectic, Are you here for the divorce papers,I can’t sign that hunny, Can’t you forgive me just once…. Huh?” Gideon pleaded.
“But why didn’t you explain to me?” She asked.
“About?” Gideon asked.
“Don’t pl@ydumb with me… Mira alre-ady told me about your business” She said sadly.
“I didn’t want you to get worried,I’m sorry… But it’s over now… I can rest and stay with you”
They both sighed in relief. They looked at each other and laughed.
Vivian stretched her hand.
“What is it, Do you want to hold hands” Gideon said chuckling trying to hold her hands.
“Nope… The divorce papers” She said with a laugh.
He quic-kly pu-ll-ed his hand down and gave her the papers.
She to-re them immediately with a smile on her face.
“We don’t nee-d this anymore” She said shredding them into pieces.
After doing it, She stretched her hand toward him.
“I guess you want me to give you something” He said childishly.
“No” Vivian said shaking her head.
Gideon looked at her.
“I want to hold your hands” she finally said.
Gideon smiled and quic-kly gr@bb£d her hand.
They shyly laughed. He pe-cked her cheeks.
“What’s this… It’s cheesy” She said shyly hitting his che-st.
Gideon smiled.
“Vivian?” He called.
She looked at him straight in the eye.
“Let’s go home” He said.
They both smiled as they took they bags on their arms.
Still holding each other hands, They left to the door.

FINALE
Stella woke up as soon she heard stiles yelling from his sleep. He woke up sweating and in tears.
“She is after me, What if she kills me” He said shivering.
Stella held him close to her arms.
“She won’t come here,She’s dead so don’t worry about her… Besides, I’m here” Stella said with her teary eyes.
She looked at him and patted his hair.
Without thinking twice,She pe-cked hisl-ips.
Realising what she did, she t©uçhed herl-ips embarras-sed.
Stiles held her by her side and k!$$£d her de-eply.
She later petted him to sleep.
“And also from that day, There wasn’t nightmares” Stella said smiling looking at Vivian.
“I’m happy for our marriage now, At least… It really seemed we didn’t lie, Our husbands really did love us” Vivian said taking her bag.
Stella stood up and followed her.
*************
Michael brou-ght a girl home and it wasn’t surprising, She was older than him with a year.
She was also pregnant for him.
“When did this happen?” Vivian chuckled.
“I was actually drun!kthen mum, Goodness… But I do love her” Michael replied embarras-sed scratching his head.
“What about Nichole who you ruined, Have you contacted her yet?” Vivian asked.
“And why would I?” Michael asked leaving.
**********
That night, John texted Victory to meet her in the park.
He got there and met her sitting in the bench.
He sat far from her at the other side of the bench.
“Victory?” He called lightly.
She turned and stared at him.
“Thank you for everything” He started.
“For?” She asked
“For your love, care and everything”
She sighed de-eply.
“John… Cut to the chase”
“Victory…. Let’s not meet again, Our relationsh!phas been ruined because of my sister’s mistake”
There was silence.
John cleared his throat and finally said.
“I will leave now”.
He stood up and started walking.
“No” Victory yelled sadly.
She stood up and still looking at his back, She ran to back hvg him ti-ghtly.
“I don’t think I can do without you ever, plea-se don’t leave me” She said sadly with tears.
He turned back and cleaned her tears.
“It took a lot of courage to tell you that though,I was actually regretting saying that”
Victory smiled.
“Thank you” He said.
“For?” She asked.
“For coming back to me” He said ti-ghtly hvgging her.
“Thank you too” She said hvgging him ti-ghtly.
“For?” He asked staring at her.
“Everything” She whispered.
He chuckled and slightly pe-cked her forehead.
**********
“You guys should go alre-ady, I will be fine here” Timothy said staring at the whole family.
They had all come to s£nd him off to Germany.
“I will miss you son” Vivian cried bitterly hvgging him.
“Mum… Come on,you said that alre-ady, Go alre-ady!” He said as they all nodded.
They waved goodbye and left. Timothy checked his time.
“In a few minutes, My flight will arrive but I wonder why John and Victory didn’t come to see me off?” He thought.
However,He un-derstood why victory wouldn’t come, She refused to see or talk to him since when he confessed his feelings to her.
He sighed miserably.
“Timothy!!” He heard him name loud and clear.
He looked and saw john running towards him.
John hvgged him.
“Dude! I’m going to miss you”.
“Me too… Just do me a favor okay?”
“What’s that?”
“Take care of victory” He whispered.
John re-leased himself from timothy’s arms and smiled.
“I will…. By the way, I was forcing her to see you off but damn, she was adamant”
“It’s oaky” Timothy replied.
“Hey….Tim!” He heard.
They both turned and met furious victory.
“I don’t know what to tell you,But I’m going to miss you” Victory said hvgging him lightly.
“Though I haven’t forgiven you” She whispered.
They looked at each other and chuckled.
“See you” Victory smiled warmly.
“Do well and make us proud, Our future Messi!” John yelled.
“Goodbye…. Timothy” They both said silently.
*********
“Marcel alre-ady got married to his boss daughter and they are doing fine now, As for John… He is doing okay,Everyb©dy is okay and I’m envious to say this, But you kind of cured my husband” Stella said staring at Nichole who wore a depressed look.
Vivian stared at her pitifully.
“Let’s go Vivian” Stella called as she left.
“Go on… I will join you later” Vivian said as Stella left.
Vivian looked at Nichole.
“Nichole….Is there anything you regret?” She asked.
Nichole stood up and went closer to the window.
“Yes… I regret something” She said slowly.
“What’s that?” Vivian asked.
“Meeting you and stella…..If only I could turn back the hands if time,Then I wouldn’t have tried to meet you… Maybe that would have changed all this”
“Nichole… I’m not sure about that, We didn’t really affect you life, It was ‘you’ along”
“No…. I refuse that….Maybe,If I hadn’t met you guys, Things would be okay…. I know that”
Vivian sighed.
“Maybe…. If I was able to back in time, This what what I could have done not to have met you guys…….
««««««««««««««
Only… If something magical happens Stella smiled.
Just then, a song pla-yed from a distance.
“Teenagers” Vivian and Stella stared at Nichole.
Nichole looked at them slyly.
“I….. Hate this song”
Vivian and Stella faced each other weirdly.
“Let’s go” Vivian said.
“Yh…. Let’s go” Stella replied as they both held hands and left.
8 year old Nichole watched them go.
Dressing her bag pack properly on her back.
She turned to leave.
“Maybe…. This is what I should have done” Her voice echoed.
