“Isnt arabella acting a little too strange?”
“She is? If something is bothering her, then she can at least put that aside. We the staff will be the one suffering for her problems”
John stood at a distance listening to the staff talking about arabella.
He had been watching the shoot she was having with gerald, and had seen the way she had behaved before running into her booth.
Something is definitely bothering her, and it has to do with gerald.
Taking two bottle of ara’s favourite apple juice. He went to her booth, hoping to cheer her up only for him to stop when he heard gerald’s voice coming from the booth.
“I love you arabella and what we shared yesterday isn’t because I want to punish you. Its because I love and want you in my life. Not as the nanny or as a model but as my wife” Gerald told her.
“What’s wrong? Don’t you feel the same way? Did I get your conversation with Nina wrong?” Gerald spoke again.
“You didn’t get it wrong. I do love you Gerald but I don’t know…..this is all going fast and we…..we……”
“We are now a couple. Don’t think about anything else. Just think about us” Gerald supplied for her.
“I really like that” He heard arabella reply and judging by the silence, he could tell that they were both kis-sing.
“We should go back for the shoot now”
On hearing gerald say, he quickly move to where he wouldn’t be seen.
He stood watching the two of them head back to the shooting ground.
He had only stopped himself from pursuing arabella because he had been sure that she and gerald wouldn’t get close due to their dislike for each other but as it turns out they are now a couple.
He threw the juice in an empty bin and head to his car, feeling angry and wanting to leave the shooting site.
He got a call just as soon as he got to his car and on answering, he got the news he has been waiting for a while now.
“Are you sure about It? Its just my intuition but is there a prove?”John asked his personal detective.
“I am sure. Check your email, have sent you the necessary things you need as prove”The detective replied.
As soon as he could, He drove back to arabella parents home and went to his room to check the email in his laptop and it was there.
Apparently the detective had send the DNA report of his and Fiona. She’s his daughter just as he presumed. Feeling happy about it, he wanted to call arabella and tell her about it but he decided to wait to talk to her alone but she was always with gerald.
Throu-ghthe team dinner, he sat watching her and Gerald acting indifferent while also being sweet to each other. Others were oblivious to their relationship but he knew and he feels very angry about it.
He had to talk to arabella and that have got to happen tonight.

LATER THAT NIGHT**
“Am Fiona’s father”John said and arabella stood rigid, trying to digest the news he just threw at her.
“I couldn’t believe it as well but after hearing your conversation with your father that day. You had said that you went to a party and had slept with a stranger that stranger turned out to be me”John told her and this time arabella spoke.
“But that’s impossible. You don’t know anyone here and you weren’t even here at that time. How come I….we…..”
“I knew it would be ha-rd for you to believe me and that’s why i brou-ght this”He said giving her the DNA report.
“What’s this?”Arabella asked.
“Just open and see it”John said and she did as he said.
“Th….this is a DNA result of you and Fiona. Its says here that it’s Ninety nine percent true”She gasp out starring at him in shock.
John moved towards her to hold onto her shaking hands.
She didn’t know if it was his nearness or his male scent that triggered it but she found her mind going back to what happened years ago.
She remembered that the man she had slept with had teased her about her mole on the curve of her bre-ast and if John really is the one. He will certainly remember it too.
“The mole is still there right? Remember I told you that night that am going to mark you right there as mine?”He asked confirming her thoughts and once again her mind drifted off to the past.
“I like this mole of yours! I’d like to mark you right there”John had teased her drunkingly.
“Then do. I would gladly like it if you do it”arabella had returned drunkingly too and he had ended up doing as she said.
On remembering that, arabella moved away from him, starring at him like some stranger.
“Aren’t you glad to know that am Fiona father?”He asked starring at her.
“I..I….I am glad but somehow it feels strange. Who would have thought that you who turned out to be a colleague of mine is the same man whom I slept with years ago”She said softly still finding the whole thing odd
“It shouldn’t feel strange to you. To me I would call it destiny”John said suddenly and she looked up at him.
“What do you mean by that?”
“You,Fiona and I were separated in the past . Let’s not make the same mistake this time around and do the right thing”John said to her.
“And what will the right thing be?”She asked.
“We tell Fiona about it and then we get married. “he said.
“To be sincere with you. I really like you arabella. I have liked you ever since I layed my eyes on you. I was a fool for not recognising you, for not knowing about our child and for letting you be alone when your parents took Fiona away but that won’t happen again. Am here now and I think it’s time for us to……”
“I think you’ve been keeping arabella for a long time now “Gerald said suddenly interrupting John.
“This is a private disscussion between Arabella and…..”
“Have been patient enough but you’ve been taken a lot of her time and that’s why am here, to take her with me. She’s been stressed from the shooting today and it’s time she take a rest”gerald said pulling arabella towards him.
“And would that rest be right in your bed?”John asked suddenly and while arabella gasp out in shock. Gerald kept calm and turned to smile at him.
“Yes. The rest will be right in my bed, so save your disscussion for another day”Gerald stated as he pulled arabella out of the garden while gerald glared at him from behind.
***
“Are you okay?” Gerald asked as he came to seat beside her on the bed.
“Judging from the look on your face. You must have heard everything John told me” Arabella said in return and he nodded.
“Turns out he is Fiona father. Its really a shock to me”arabella added as she drank the glas-sof water that had been given to her by gerald.
“So what are you going to do about it now cause I think John wouldn’t stay still knowing the truth”
“We will just have to tell Fiona first. I don’t care about the press finding out the truth, what bothers me is Fiona. She needs to hear it all from me”arabella said and gerald nodded in return.
“Then we will leave first thing tomorrow. Why don’t you go and pack your stuff while I book our flight”Gerald suggested and she stood up to do as he says only for her to be pulled back into his arms.
He kis-sed her on the li-ps and also on the forehead. “I love you”He muttered while she beamed him a smile.
“I love you too”She said in return before leaving the room.
******
They got back to New York a little late in the afternoon.
Fiona must be back from school and so she could sit her down and talk to her.
She was still thinking on how she would tell fiona the truth that she didn’t even realise that the car had stopped in gerald mansion.
“Are you okay?”gerald asked jolting her back to reality and she nodded in reply.
They got out of the car and head into the house only to see Mrs milly hurry towards them.
“Am glad you are back boss gerald” Mrs Milly said looking apprehensive.
“What’s going on?” Gerald asked when he saw her behaviour.
“Its just that someone…..” She stopped when Fiona ran out of the study crying and on seeing them, she ran towards her glaring at her angrily.
“Is it true?” Fiona asked.
“Is what true Fiona?”Arabella asked feeling a little Apprehensive herself.
“Is it true that your my birth mom? Is it true that my mom who died isn’t my mom?” She threw the question at her.
“My love, I……” Arabella stopped talking when fiona hit her hand away.
“Tell me that it isn’t true! Tell me that your not my mother!” Fiona yelled at her.
“I am your mom” Arabella told her not wanting to prolong the whole thing.
“Its a lie. My mom died already. You and that man are both lying. I hate you”Fiona yelled at Arabella.
“Don’t be rude Fiona!”Gerald said trying to reprimand her but she glared at him too.
“I hate you too! You knew about it and yet you kept it a secret. I hate you all”She yelled them both before running up the stairs.
Arabella wanted to go after her but Gerald pulled her back.
“I will talk to her”He offered before going up the stairs.
Arabella would have gone after Gerald if the study door hadn’t opened to reveal John who gave her a smile.
She wondered how Fiona knew the truth and it turned out to be John doing.
“Am sorry that I let him. I didn’t want to at first but knowing that he is a business partner of the boss. I let him in”Mrs Milly explained herself.
“Its okay. If you don’t mind, I would like to talk to him alone”Arabella said and Mrs Milly left them alone.
“Why did you tell Fiona the truth? Why did you do it?”Arabella asked.
“She’s my daughter and she deserves to know the truth”John replied.
“I doubt that your only gain in all this is to get her to know that she’s your daughter. Your after something else right?”She asked and he nodded.
“You might think the worse of me right now but I came to tell Fiona the truth and also to get you to see that there is hope for us”He told her.
“Hope? What hope is there for us now that she hates me?”Arabella yelled at him.
“She’s just shocked about the whole thing with due time she will acknowledge us both as her parents and for us to make that happen. We’ve got to get married”He said.
“Married! Are you crazy!”Arabella shrieked out
“What Fiona needs right now is both of her parents and that is you and me. Just like I told you last night. I like you and I want you in my life with my daughter”He told her.
“That can’t happen. I don’t like you John, I respect you as a colleague and a friend and nothing else. You should know that Gerald and I are together now”She said to him.
“And who cares about that? Your daughter should come first for you and the only way you can make it up to her now is by being with me her father”John demanded.
“I knew you would try to seize this opportunity!”Gerald said suddenly and he would have marched straight towards John to lash out his anger if Arabella hadn’t stood in front of him.
“Why shouldn’t I do that? For the first time in my life, I get to have a family of my own and I won’t lose it!”John said infruiating Gerald the more.
“Just stop this and leave John! “Arabella said as she stood in front of Gerald not wanting him to do something crazy.
“This isn’t over. Fiona and Arabella will be my family and I mean it”John added as he left the house.
“You should have let me beat some sense into him”Gerald told her.
“And make things worse. Hell no”She replied.
“And how is Fiona?”
“She doesn’t want to see anyone now. She believes that we all betrayed her. Let’s give her some time to think”Gerald told her and she nodded in reply.
It was late in the evening when Arabella went to knock on Fiona door.
She didn’t want to speak to anyone except for Mrs Milly whom she allowed to enter her room.
“Fiona we have to talk. Please let me in”Arabella begged as she kept on knocking.
“Leave me alone!”She heard Fiona yelled from inside.
Knowing that it wasn’t still a good time to talk to her. Arabella went ahead to Gerald room where she found him busy with work as usual.
“Shouldn’t you take a rest yourself? You were also working with me during the shoot”She said as she walked towards him to help him ma-ssage his back.
“The rest I have in mind is different from what you have in mind”He told her.
“If it’s a rest that can help the both of us then I suggest you get it”Arabella told him and got out of his seat to pull her into his arms.
“I know that I should be trying to comfort you at this time but here I am having dirty thoughts in my head”He told her.
“Your dirty thoughts might also comfort me in other ways”Arabella said before she kis-sed his waiting li-ps.
THE NEXT DAY**
Arabella woke up to find Gerald gone. He had told her that he would be having a early important meeting today and that he would be leaving early.
Seeing the love not he left for her right on the table, she smiled brightly.
Her phone began to ring, preventing her from going to the bathroom. She answered on the third ring.
“Have you seen it?”Nina asked.
“Seen what?”Arabella asked in return.
“Its all over the internet Ara. You should check it out”Nina told her.
“Give me a heads up about it instead. You know I hate shocking News”Arabella said to her.
“I don’t think I should tell you this just check it out yourself’Nina said and switch off the phone.
Arabella searched for the latest trending news, and was shocked when she saw what was in it.
