Chapter 63
Vienna came her a suspicious look wondering how serious it must be.
“you know that small box you made with a password to confess and propose to Alan, before we left the city years back I went to see him and really insult him then throw it at him”
“Oh God! Why you… what on earth is wrong with you? Why do you like poke nose in my business with him”
“no its not like that, you know Karen your friend back then, he came to meet me and told me his feelings for you and also how you left someone who love you like that and keep letting yourself get hurt by Alan so I wanted you to leave Alan and focus on Karen. He is a very nice and decent guy although he is not rich”
“you don’t know anything you are still a kid, you wont understand but then the box doesn’t have a lock”
“you always forget about things, very soon I will have also become a full grown adult and have a boyfriend just that am also confused about that”
“what exactly are you confused about? Nisan? Why do you still think he likes me or something p>
“isn’t that right or you are just not seeing it, he is always asking after you and always care about you. He even went to meet his half brother he dislike so much just to make you happy”
“that’s where you get it wrong, its just your wishful thinking. Okay let me analyse it for you, whenever he ask about me who did he always ask? You isn’t it and it always when am definitely not around. You spend all day together and always work at the same place, he even apply to go to the same school with you. Do you think he did all this just because you are my sister? He went to meet his brother because you were angry about the whole situation. He just use me as an excuse to get closer to you” Vienna explained while Vanessa went silent pondering on it. He always ask her about Vienna only when Vienna is not around and tells her he did something for her just because of his sister but its all a lie? He actually like her and that is why he did all that” she thought and said to herself happily
“so he also did that deliberately and lied to me like it was a mistake”
“did what deliberately?” Vienna asked.
“no nothing, it is not something important for you to know” she reply then rest her head on Vienna’s shoulders.
“Am still really sorry and thank you once again for forgiving me so easily. I will find time to meet with Alan and explain things to him then apologize also” she said and pat her head lightly. After a while Vienna felt sleepy and bade her goodnight then left to sleep in her room, after she left, Vanessa felt really relieve and stood up and went to meet Nisan in his room.
“hey, I thought you were already asleep, why are you here?” he asked.
“do you want me to leave your room? Why are you asking like I don’t come in to your room before?” she said and sit down on the chair
“I don’t mean it like that am just surprised you seem like you don’t want to talk before” he replied and sat in front of her on the bed.
“I want to tell you something, about that night lets just take it has its nothing. After all we only just kissed and nothing more not like we slept with each other so… am going to call Steve and ask him out instead”
“i get it about that day but you want to ask Steve out? You reject him so many times”
“yes I know, that’s why am going to go after him now so there is no need for you to help me anymore” she said and wait to see his reaction
“okay then, if that’s what you want” he shrugged and lay down to sleep
“is that all you’ve got to say? Okay fine goodnight” she said and left the room angrily then went to her room to sleep.
The next morning, Vienna woke up early and start to clean the house and prepare breakfast while Nisan join her after sometimes. She cried to sleep the night before, thinking about how she has resented Alan for so long and hated him not knowing her father was the one at fault here. She tried severally not to check her phone and after cleaning the whole house and getting breakfast ready, she still could not get the thought off her head. Even though he told her in a rush but she knows that there is something going on about him and the company. After eating just little she enter her room and start to watch news on entertainment then she move to search for news about the company to see if there is something trending but she find none. She became more worried and tried Kellie’s phone but it was also unreachable. She wonder what could be going on that even Kellie turned her phone off and went out to get some fresh air but then she saw her mother staring in to space and went over to meet her.
“mom, are you okay? You seems lost” she said and stand beside her. Her mom was startled to see her and move backward
“hey mom, are you sure there is nothing wrong, how about we visit the hospital to be sure” Vienna suggested worried.
“no dear, you worry too much, there is nothing wrong with me but what about you? Are you also okay p>
“about what?” she asked confused
“Vanessa told me that you and Alan are now a thing” she said.
“that loose mouth, yes what about it”
“lets go over there and sit down first then we can talk better” Victoria said and they both walk to the veranda to sit.
“Vienna, I know how much you like Alan and how disappointed you must be after learning what your father did although you didn’t say anything but I know how upsetting it could be that everything you once believe and the people you believe in are not as it seems. About your engagement to Alan, when your father find out, he saw it as an opportunity and wanted to gain something out of it, although I warned him but he wouldn’t listen and after everything, he still did not confess what happened and the people who are involved with him” she said and held her hands.
