We meet again
How could her father expect her to go back to them again after all the shame and everything they made her feel all because of the fact that she got pregnant out of wedlock. Did she really do the right thing by keeping everything away from Stefan? Having so much thought in her head, she didn’t Actually Know the time she lost track of her surroundings only to find herself almost hit by a car in the middle of the road.
She looked at her front, trying to comprehend what just happened. “I’m sorry! Sorry!”. She apologized and quickly moved aside so the car could Pass but to her utmost display, the person sitting at the back of the car came down and walked to her.
At first, she thought the person driving the car was the owner but it seems like he was just the driver. Her heart skipped on seeing the person who looks so much like Stefan. The person wasn’t putting on a mask or something, he was in his usual form and the eyes, face, look exactly like Stefan own Which she had saw eight years ago before they depart from each other.. she couldn’t believe that fate brought them back to this country again but even though it’s *Fate* that makes them see today, she will definitely stay away from him and make sure never to bring him closer to herself. She wouldn’t want what happened eight years ago to repeat itself. If that happens, she knows that he will do more damage to her this time around.
“Are you here because of what happened? I know you must be thinking that I’m a devil who has been sent to spoil your day if eventually your driver had hit me with the car earlier. I’m sorry sir. Please forgive me”.
Raven apologizes, trying not to let him know that she knows him or she was the Raven he thought he knew. “It’s okay young lady. I understand what happened and I know that it wasn’t your intention for what happened. I just want to know why you look familiar like someone I know”.
At this point, Raven’s heart beats so fast that it can actually explode anytime. “Aren’t you Raven?
For a while she finds it hard to answer his questions but she does know that she needs to say something so that he won’t get suspicious of her that she’s the one.
“I think you’re mistaken. I’m not Raven”. She uttered with a fake smile as Stefan took a deep breath. “I thought so. I never knew that we do have two of the same face. Anyway sorry to bother you about that*. Stefan apologized and went to his car.
“But she does look like Her.. could it be that she’s lying to me?” She heard him questioning himself as she quickly walked away before he could have another thought of calling her again or trying to follow her in order to know where she stayed. On her way to the main road to board a cab, she received a call from the principal of the Maryland junior school where her children attend. She couldn’t help but ponder why she could be calling her since this was the first time Such calls had appeared to her phone whereas she’s certain that her children have got home. Could it be that they embrace in an accident or fight? She thought and stretched out her hands to pick her phone from her pocket.
Authors POV
Raven’s heart beat in fear the moment the principles told her about what her son had done. She was terrified of the incidents with her son not because of the fact that she was scared of Morgan but because of the fact that she never wanted to engage in any fight or quarrel with someone. All she just wanted was to live in peace with her twins and ñot to engage into a fight or quarrel with someone that has the whole world.
She waited patiently, waiting for a cab to take her home while the thought of Stefan filled her mind. He does look More handsome and of course matured after all those years. She do wonder if he’s married now or he’s still wandering around some hotels, f**king some slut around.
She yawned tiredly while getting impatient with the car that had chosen not to stop for her but not quite long, a familiar car which she knew stopped in front of her. She was certain that this car was someone she knew. “Hello pretty, what are you doing here? Come and Hopped inside my ride”. Raven Heard the familiar voice and face as she took a deep breath. It was her friend *Adonis* how could she be so unfortunate to bump into someone like Him?
“Thanks for your generosity Adonis but I’mma wait patiently for a cab to come take me home”. She replied bluntly at him, her eyes searching around for a taxi man but it seems like today will just be a bad Day for her.
Adonis love Raven right from the day he catches her as a friend and he had been hoping she Could give him her heart and let him be the man in her life so he could take care of the twins and be there for them as well as a husband but she didn’t agree to that idea but instead, she turned down his proposal Since his intentions were for her to accept him, she warned him to stay away from her until this Very day that he showed up in front of her and he expected her to Hopped into his car like she was a prostitute, looking for a man to carry her for the night.
“Come on Raven. I have apologized to you countless times and I’m really sorry for what happened between us. Please forgive me. Let’s go back Being friends. I miss the twins a lot and I do hope to see them today”. Raven ignored him and just like her prayer had been answered, a cab stopped for her. She ignores Adonis and pretends like he wasn’t talking to her as she hopped inside the car and the driver drove away immediately.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She doesn’t just want Adonis to add to her problem because she’s really tired today. She got home thirty minutes later and met the twins who were cleaning the house and arranging everywhere. She was impressed with them and smiled knowing that they were the only family she has.
“Come give momma a hug sweetie”. She shrugged at them happily as the two of them ran to her and embraced her into a tight deep hug. “Welcome back momma. How was work today”. Aiden who was a bit smarter and feels for the mother a lot.. “”It’s good, sweetie. But momma couldn’t afford to buy you your favorite ice-cream like I always do but I will do that next time”. Raven uttered sadly while putting on a fake smile as Addison scoffed. “But momma, you promised to buy ice-cream for us today. This was the same thing you said yesterday as well”. Addison said sadly, knowing that these days the mother doesn’t always keep to her promise.
“How wish Uncle Adonis came to visit us now, I’m sure he would have bought us food and some ice-cream. I really miss him because of the food he usually buys for us”. Raven spirit was down immediately hearing such words from her daughter. And of course she was sad to see that she can’t even afford common ice-cream for the twins. “Come on Addison, momma is trying for us. Didn’t she buy ice-cream for us that day? I’m sure she forgot or probably she doesn’t have enough”. Aiden assured his Baby sister of seeing the mother’s sad look and understanding her pains and everything.
“You’re right Aiden. I do wish momma had enough money so he could transfer us to a new school. I do ponder how we’re going to win against Mateo tomorrow because he’s the son of the richest man in the world. God, I just can’t imagine what will happen tomorrow and the punishment they will give you for fighting with him. I’m really sorry because this is my fault”. Addison shudders out, making Raven wonder of the kind person they’ve bumped into. The twins look at their mother who they knew will be confused and explained what happened to her.
“I know that sweetie! The principal called me on my way here and told me what happened but it’s…….!!! Before Raven could complete her speech, Aiden burst into tears..
“I’m really sorry that this is happening mother. I should have listened to your words. I shouldn’t have pick fight with him in the first place”.
