The CEO's beloved's road to happiness

CHAPTER 19

Two years passed, without seeing my mother and the terrible condition Papa was in made me, rethink about my decision to ask about her.

One night,papa had a serious fever to, which he refused to see a medical doctor saying that his time was up to which my twelve years old self didn't understand or rather refused to understand at the moment.

He called me closer to him, Lucy insisted(my godmother and Magnus' mother)I wore a mask because she didn't want me to come closer to Papa without any protection fearing I may catch what he has and Papa didn't say a word about what she did but you could see the amusement in his eyes.

He told me the reason,why the hell we left mother's place for two good years and his medical condition.

Well apparently,he caught mother and Uncle cherry cheating on him and when he confronted them to which they shamefully confirmed to it and emphasized that it was a one night stand with them being confused that night.

That night ago,that was when he found out and confronted them and he felt cheated all this years because his wife and the best friend that he helped in getting a job in his home had an affair which bore fruit and that was Josephine.

He felt betrayed and cheated but he wouldn't be like those weak forgiving characters,so he left with me and got divorced with my mother who apparently,in order for us to come back to her gave her properties to her brother and his family to handle the company.Papa was ready to fight for his shares because he helped fund the company but he found out that he had stomach cancer and didn't bother telling anyone including Grandpa not Aunt Lucy about it till this point.

He knew that his time had come especially when he didn't go for any treatments because we were tight on money.

He(Papa) died a year later,with the help of Aunt Lucy we were able to find Josephine and Cherry but the bad news was that immediately,papa left the house,mother sacked them and committed herself to drinking to sober.

I felt hatred for both cherry and mother but I couldn't hate Josephine because to me we were both clueless to the activity of the adults.

We found out that Cherry had committed suicide and died while the neighbors took Josephine to the orphanage and that how we found her,I refused to tell her the truth about what happened to our parents until she was eighteen years,that day she cried herself to sleep and really hated her Papa with so much passion and vowed not to be like him.

Lucy became our guardian until we became adults and I took my sixteen year old sister and left plus grandpa didn't welcome her because he saw her as the sinful spawn that destroyed his son's marriage along with her Papa.

I got a job and make sure Jose had the best education and refused to go to college so that I could make her acting dreams a reality.

After Grandpa's death a year before my coming of age,I got to know that I was betrothed to Douglas Ofori and we both got married because I thought he could fill the void in my heart but a decade later,he betrayed me once again and I felt that history had repeated itself again.

Later,I enrolled myself in a public relations uni and after,I luckily landed a job at a company called A.E.A foods because I felt that doing all this would make me worthy of my husband and his family.
