Where She Belong.

chapter 1

"For goodness sake, Belinda you are now a mother, you have a child now,
why can’t you stop this disgusting attitude of yours and concentrate on our family" James spoke angrily to his wife Belinda.

" A mother?
I never wanted a child. you know that James, that boy just ruined my life he ruined everything" Belinda muttered
James move closer to his wife and looked deeply into her eyes before replying her.

"Belinda, I have allowed you get away with all the nonsense you have been doing ever since I got married you.
Not because I am a weakling,
it’s because I really care about you and now I am asking  you for this only favor, to please consider David, our child, your son.
He needs you.
you didn't even breast feed that child and you have never carried him for five minute since you gave birth to him
What kind of a mother are you?"

James pinch the bridge of his nose trying not to get angry,
then gently exhale and spoke calmly this time
"Belinda that child needs you.
He is just twelve, but he knows exactly what is going on in this family;
He knows you don’t love him,
He knows you never wanted him to be born.
Please my love, promise me you will change.
Make him feel loved; he is my only child my heir and I can’t afford to see him unhappy" James pleaded.

"You are asking for the impossible" Belinda said harshly.
"James you know I never loved you.
  And you also know I married you because of your money, not to give you children.
And you know how much I hate children. for goodness sake James, we had an agreement.
I never wanted to be a mother you kept me in this God forsaking palace like a prisoner
That boy ruined my life.
you should have just accepted for us adopt  maybe we could have been happy.
I have better things to handle right now if you don’t mind" Belinda said and walked out angrily.

David who was at the door listening to his parent’s conversation tried to run away before his mother came out but it was too late for him.
Belinda opened the door and saw David standing looking nervous. She saw fear in his eyes.
“Mom, good morning”
David greeted fearfully and began to move backward afraid his mom might shout at him

“Morning David”
Belinda replied and then left without saying anything more.

After Belinda left, David walked up to his aunty "Helen" the woman that has been taking care of him since he was born. Helen was James younger sister and a divorcee.

“David what happen to you?
Why are you looking  this way” Helen asked curiously.
Tears were already gathering in David's eyes as he spoke
"it’s my mom and dad, I overheard them arguing about me"
"I warned you to stop trespassing, why would you be listening to adult conversations"  Helen asked David as she tried to wipe tears that had escaped from his eyes.
“She hates me very much, not only me mum Helen.
(Mom Helen was the name David was used to in Addressing his Aunty Helen).
She hates my daddy and me, and I made her hate him more.
I heard her said she only married dad for his money.
And that I ruined her life and that my daddy should have just adopted a child instead of making her give birth to me" David said crying.

"Your mother was only joking, maybe your dad got her angry.
your mom loves you, I love you and so does your dad.
Helen said trying to comfort him.

Later at night, Helen went to meet Belinda in her room.
she wanted to talk to her about David.
Please Belinda,
"I need to talk to you about David, she said when she got to Belinda’s room.
This morning He overheard you and my brother arguing about your relationship.

He heard you say that you married his father because of his money, you never wanted to have him and that you hate him.
Belinda, David is still a child, but he understands whatever is going on in this house, and it’s not fare.
You are his mother, and he needs you so much.
He needs motherly care and love, and nobody is in the best position to give him that but you"
Helen spoke calmly to her hoping she would be a human for once to understand
Belinda who was angrily listen to Helen stood up and was facing Her directly now.
