Lost & Found.

Chapter 25

TWENTY-FIVE....

TAZEEMA'S POV

"Motion detected at the door" The alarm system said alerting us to someone at the door

" I got it" I said rising from the couch. I swung the door open startling the young man standing on the porch

"Can I help you" I asked politely

"Yes are Ms. Tazeema Naidoo" He said completely butchering my entire name.

 "Yes who's asking" I said apprehensively while looking around the neighborhood

"You've been served" He said handing my an envelope and causally walking off the porch, onto his bicycle and riding off. I closed the door confused at what had just happened.

"What does that mean" Guyenne said from behind me as I struggled to open the envelope. I shrugged finally tearing the envelope open and  pulling out a letter. I read it carefully and frowned instantly when I realized its content. I screamed in anger and ran upstairs with a frightened Guyenne hot on my tail. I grabbed my purse and ran back downstairs searching the table for keys to Kravitz car. Guyenne continued following me around the house with a look of fear in her eyes

"Its right here" Guyenne said holding up the keys but then she held it back when I reached for them.

"Neema what's wrong and where are you going" She said concerned

"Jeremy is requesting full custody of the twins, " I replied angrily

"Can he do that" She asked with fear in her eyes

"Ngomthetho(By law in zulu) he can" I replied

"Here, go. I'll look after the twins" She said handing me the keys and I sprinted out of the door,  Taking one of Kravitz cars and driving to the hospital.

I arrived at the hospital and walked straight to his office. The elevator door slid open signaling me that I was on the plastic surgery unit. His office door was wide open therefore I could walk in unnoticed. He was on the phone with his chair backing the door so he didn't notice my presence. I pushed the door closed as I walked in startling him. He swung his office chair towards the door with a scowl that softened when he saw me.

"Let me call you back" He said hanging the phone up and placing it on his desk. He gestured for me to take the seat in front of him but I rolled my eyes.

"I'm fine standing" I snapped

"Well I'll join you then" He said smirking and rising from his chair and walking to the front of his desk seating slightly on the edge. 

"Full custody Jeremy? Are you out of your damn mind. They are my kids"

"They are mine too" He yelled 

"I raised them on my own" I said pointing at myself

"Who's fault is that. You left, You fucking left me" he said running his hand over his hair frustrated. The pulse on his neck  bounding visibly.

" You wanted me to get rid of my babies" 

"What? I would never ask a woman to do that" He said lowly, His face immediately softening. "Is that what you thought, that's why you left?"

"You didn't have to say the exact words, telling me that sob story to get me to do your biding" I challenged 

"My biding? I was going to leave everything for you and my child or children. I was done being controlled by the Elswoods but you left me. I had nothing to loose. The one thing, the person I wanted the most was gone. My life has been nothing short of a nightmare since you left" He said
