"Hello this is Susan Meredith from the BBC World Service . May I speak to Antonio Suarez please ? "
He slammed the phone down with such force that it broke
He was pacing up and down at his private residence which he had relocated for a bit to clear his head
The world now knew about his affair with the lawyer Rachel Yu
Marianne , his wife as soon as she caught wind of the affair moved out in the dead of night under the cover of darkness with their daughter Antoinette to a 🏠 out in the country
For months he had been trying to get her but no answer from her
Meanwhile at the house in the country Antoinette was adjusting to her new life
Marianne: Antoinette get ready for school
Antoinette had already had a quick bath and was in the process of doing her hair up in a ponytail when she heard this .
She grabbed her👜 and came running down the stairs
"When are we gonna talk about he who must not be named and that woman?" Antoinette queried warily
"Eat your sandwich before it gets cold "
Antoinette could see the hurt in her mom's eyes as much as she tried to hide it
She hurriedly ate the 🥪 and drank the ☕
"Leave it I'll deal with it "
A car horn honked outside
Antoinette looked at her mom
Marianne : It's your ride . Hurry up , brush your teeth and head out
She kissed her mom ,went to the bathroom and brushed her teeth and ran outside to see the 🚙 waiting for her
8:00
Antoinette arrived right on time
Nervously she stepped out then slammed the door shut
Dressed in a 👗 and 👡👡 with a 👜 it was hard for her not to stand out
A few snickered as she walked through the hallway
She paid them no mind
As Antoinette was busy throwing a piece of paper in the 🗑️ she felt someone tap her on the shoulder
Turning around she turns to see a familiar face
He is clothed in full leather , his hair is black and he has beautiful brown eyes
It was her friend from primary school Marcus Henry .
Years had passed since had last seen each other .
Marcus: Hello Antoinette. It's so nice to see you again . You look even more gorgeous than on Instagram.
As she was about to respond the bell rang and they quickly exchanged numbers as they went to class together walking hand in hand .
Swift Adventist Academy had a long history of graduates who had become leaders in the society including Prime Ministers,business people and judges.
This was constantly drilled into the head of the students.
Excellence was expected .
"Antoinette Harrison stop daydreaming and pay attention" Mr Marks yelled at her as she stared out the window
She quickly took out her 📒 and began to do the work that was on the board
As Antoinette was doing the work along with the students Mr Marks said suddenly "I am going outside for a bit to talk to someone"
With that he walked out the room to talk to a man who was dressed in a 👔,👖 and👞👞 with a 💼 in his hand
"Is Antoinette here ?"
Her ears perked up when she heard this as the voice belonged to none other than Antonio Suarez her father and the last person on earth that she wanted to see at this moment
"Mr Prime Minister she is inside but doing her work at this moment "
Mr Marks was trembling quite nervously when he said this
Antonio : I need to speak with my daughter .
Just then Antoinette appears ,hand on hips and yells out "I have nothing to say to you "
"Wait young lady "
By the time he says this Antoinette is far gone
He sighs
Mr Marks: Care to tell me what's going on ? I'm asking as a friend not as your daughter's teacher .
Antonio: I had an affair and now my wife has moved out and now as you can see Antoinette hates my guts .
Mr Marks: It's quite understandable. You did cheat on her mom . Speaking of which how's Marianne?
Antonio: Well she hasn't been answering so I have no idea.
Just then his phone beeps there is a text appears on his 📱
"Thank God !!" He exclaims
It's a message from Marianne from whom he had not heard in months
Meet me at the bridge in an hour
Don't be late
"Sounds ominous but I'll take my chances "
Antonio hugs his friend and heads off to the 🏟️ to watch a game .
After the game he looks at his watch .
It is 2:30 he jumps in a taxi and heads to the 🌉
Marianne spots the car and smiles nervously
The Prime Minister gets out the car and hands the driver a hundred dollar note
The taxi then drives off in a hurry
Antonio: Here am I
Marianne: I want a divorce.
Antonio is flabbergasted to the point that he is unable to say anything .
"Divorce?" He repeats the word as if he had not heard clearly
She nods .
Antonio: What about Antoinette our daughter?
3:45
The school day has ended
The car comes in the school yard and she says to Fabio
"Take me to the mall ."
"Sorry Miss Harrison no can do . I am under strict instructions. "
Antoinette gets in, rolling her eyes and glaring at Fabio who is very much unbothered at this behavior .
5:00
Upon arriving Antoinette opens the house door , heads in ,locks the door and heads to the kitchen
By now Marianne has arrived and is making 🍕 for dinner which is Antoinette's favorite
They both sit down at the table and eat to their heart's content
Around 10:00 Antoinette heads to bed after bathing, drying off and changing into a 👕 and 🧦 and jumps into her 🛏️ and falls asleep almost instantly
