Marriage and Annulment

“I’ll get dressed first, mom.” I said this before entering my room.

I quickly got dressed because I was hungry from the smell of the dish my mother cooked that reached all the way inside my room. I immediately left the room and went to the kitchen.

“What dish, mom? I can smell it all the way to my room.” I asked my mother.

My mother laughed and said,

“Marinated chicken, that’s why your clothes are upside down.”

Melissa, on the other hand, didn’t care while biting into the dish.

“I’m hungry, mom. So ask for a plate,” I said.

“You’re hungry. Why don’t you come home early?” she asked me.

“We ate outside with Duke; it’s just that your cooking is even tastier,” I said, as I began to eat.

My mother said, “I’m really good at cooking, so your girlfriend has to be good in the kitchen, so you don’t lose weight.”

I laughed.

“Even though she’s not good in the kitchen, mom, I know how to cook, so I don’t have a problem. We can hire a maid just in case.” I said.

“That’s the trend now if you have money to pay for something. Why do you have to work so hard to cook? It’s so hot,” said my mother.

“Are you okay, mom? Didn’t you have a hard time making it home? We can get a maid if you want.” I said.

“Sometimes I get tired, but it also disappears when I rest. I don’t have a problem because I can just take care of you. It’s okay,” said the mother.

“Thank you, mom.” I said.

The mother said, “Eat a lot, then go to bed early.”

She put rice on my plate.

“By the way, hasn’t Uncle Augusto gotten used to this? How about you working with him? ” I asked.

“She’s still busy now, so she can’t visit. It’s okay for me to work there. I’m not doing much. It’s also better because I can take Melissa, so I don’t have to leave her here when she’s not in school,” said my mother.

“That’s good, mom.” My mother asked.

“When will you introduce me to your girlfriend?”

“I’ll take her here, mom, when she’s not busy with her work.”was my answer.

“All right, I want to meet her too.”

After a half hour, I was inside the room and resting. I was very full because I ate more of the dish my mother cooked. I’m lying down now while Mitch is texting. We also exchanged messages for an hour, but he said goodbye to go to sleep, so I could go to sleep too. The next day, we went early to the tree house to go back to Genie’s house. I plan to go back to the city today because Randolf texted me that someone was looking for me in the office. I was surprised because Randolf didn’t tell me who was looking because I wasn’t used to hearing the hanging call. Every time someone searches for me for detail, who and what is needed, for now it’s really refreshing.

“Miss, are we going home to the city?” Lucianna asked.

“It’s just me, if you want to stay here first. I have an urgent meeting with the company, so I can’t stay long, ” I said.

We’re about to get to Genie’s house. Maybe I won’t get dressed. This is all I will wear. I have already called the driver of the company that I will be arranging for because I do not want to drive now. Then a black car pulled up in front of us. The door opened and I entered.

“Miss, will you leave your car here?” “Lazzy asked.”

“Yes, because I’m not in the mood to drive right now. Just follow and the girls will bring things when you go home.” I said.

“All right, miss, be careful.”

“Okay.”

The driver drove the car away from Genie’s house. I didn’t know who was looking for me, but Randolf was rushing me. If our family somewhere else was looking for me, there was none. As far as I know, my mommy and daddy are the only children, so it’s impossible for anyone else to show up.

“What happened? Is there a problem with the company? ” I asked.

“Nothing, Ma’am, but they said someone was looking for you.”

“And I have no idea who that is,” says the driver.

I closed my eyes at first because we were still far away. I heard the driver’s voice. So I opened my eyes. I slept for a long time because I didn’t realize that we were outside the mansion. I went out and entered the gate.

“Wait for me first, Lucio. Have some coffee first.” I told him.

“It’s okay, ma’am, I’ve eaten. I nodded and proceeded to enter the mansion and go straight to my room. I took off my clothes and went into the bathroom.

I even heard my phone ring on the bed. After I took a bath, I immediately went out of the bathroom and looked for something to wear in the closet. What’s going on? I really can’t go into the office right now. I was already dressed when I left the room. I went to the kitchen first to drink water. When I went out, I found Lucio eating an apple.

“Let’s go,” I told him.

Once inside the car, Lucio drove it away from the mansion.

Who is looking for me? Whoever they are, they have no consideration. It was almost half an hour away when I arrived at the company. You wasted no time, and I immediately went in and went straight into my office. I only put my office on the first floor because I was too lazy to take the elevator. I prefer the easy way. I immediately saw Randolf standing outside the office.

“What’s wrong, Randolf? What happened? Why do you always call me?” I asked him.

“I’m sorry, Miss, but they’re really looking for you,” he says.

And we went inside the office together. I was exposed to a woman with a raised eyebrow, as if she were in her forties. She was with a girl who was five years old and a twenty-four-year-old man. I just think the woman with the raised eyebrows who looked at me seemed to have an attitude. I sat in the swivel chair.

“So, they’re looking for me?” I asked Randolf, but my eyes were on the three of them. The woman smirked.

“Yes, Miss,” Randolf replied.

“I didn’t know that a big company was entrusted to just one person because the owner was out of town,” said the woman.

“Excuse me? You haven’t introduced yourself yet, but your tongue is sharp. Who are you? ” I asked.

“All right, I’m your dad’s second wife. And these are our children,” said the woman with a grin.

I was overwhelmed by the thought. I never had a brother. My daddy even had a child with another woman and two more, really. It’s impossible! I’m laughing. And the woman’s eyes glazed over at me.

“How come? You just showed up now? Why not before? And it’s so impossible for my daddy to have children and have other relationships then. If his routine is always in the office, if he leaves, he’ll be with my mother!” I asked her.

The woman grinned.

“Not all of your daddy’s escapades are known to your mother or you know. I have a lot of evidence here that your daddy and I have a relationship. So whatever wealth he left all to you, my children must also have it,” the woman said sternly.

I laughed.

“Do you think everything is that easy? You suddenly came here and introduced yourself? You thought maybe I’d give you what you wanted right away? Let’s go through the process first, ma’am. ” I said.

The woman’s smile faded and was replaced by anger.

“No way! My kids have to get one for them! “yelled the woman.

“Relax, ma’am. I’m not going to squander my father’s wealth. If what you’re saying is true, it’s not that easy to do what you want to happen. They have to undergo tests. So we can find out if they are my father’s children to you,” I said.

“No way! What do you think of us liars? I have some evidence here. So there’s no need for the tests you’re saying!” the woman says in a histerical tone.

“Ma’am, you don’t have to shout there, because we’re not deaf here. Whatever the evidence is, if your children and I don’t match the result, it’s useless. My daddy died a long time ago.

If I let his company, it won’t be successful, so it’s not just something you ask me to give sincerely. If you don’t want to agree, I won’t force you. My company is open to accepting applicants. Your son can work here for the meantime.”

But I know that this woman will not allow it based on her aura. But I’m not a fool to share with people I only know now.

“No need, I’ll see you in court. I’ll make sure to embarrass you!” the woman shouted, before leaving my office.

I leaned back in the swivel chair. I didn’t expect this to happen, to come to the point where someone would come here claiming that she was my daddy’s second wife. Never in my wildest dream did I imagine my daddy was having an affair with another woman. He was kind and I always see that he loved my mother so much. So I don’t believe he had a different family. Randolf just silently watched me, as he sat in his chair.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Can I have one glass of water, Randolf? I’m suddenly thirsty. ” I told him.

He handed it to me from the dispenser inside the office. Randolf thought of putting it inside my office because he likes to drink water.

“What do you think, Randolf? Is he telling the truth? ” I asked him.

I’m confused now and can’t believe it. I was shocked to the extent that I wanted to hide inside the mansion. It would have been a pity on my mommy’s part if she was still alive today. I can’t even believe that Daddy did those things. He’s my idol and my hero. I love him so much. I always pray that if ever I find someone who is my love, it should be like my daddy. But this news came out today. And I know it was directly featured in a magazine if everyone knows. I know that a woman’s mouth is very talkative. I don’t believe that my daddy would hit a woman like that because there seems to be no breeding. Not being carried away in socialization. Just a little conversation she will definitely scream.

“I don’t know either, Miss. I was surprised. It’s been years since I’ve been working for your company. Not yet as your assistant. I haven’t heard anything about having a girl when your daddy has. You know the news is like a fire that has been poured out.” Randolf replied.

I sighed.

“I don’t want an issue, Randolf. I don’t want to be featured in a magazine about that. It is just respecting the soul of my parents,”I said.

“What do you want me to do?”he asked me.

“You’ll take care of them,” I said.

Randolf came out of the office, while I called Arthur.

“Hello, Arthur, where are you? Aren’t you busy right now? ” I asked him on the other hand.

“No, we have a walk?” he asked.

“No, but I’ll have you do something. Come here to the office.” I said.

“Okay, coming,” he answered, once the phone hung up.

The door opened and Arthur entered.

“What is it? You seem to be in trouble,” he asked me.
