MISHAP.

(Confused love).

April entered into their house and from the interior designs, cushion, Tv, curtain and even the artefacts one could tell that they were very rich.

April climbed the stairs leading to a hallway with rooms on each sides. She opened in of the doors and entered into the room.

The room had 2 beds, one on each side. One of the beds was totally red with boyish toys while the other had colour purple with girly toys aroud it.

April walked over to the boy's bed and sat on it. After staring at the boy for a really long time, she started crying again.

"James sweetheart, me and daddy are sorry for putting you and your sister 'Jamie' through this, i'm sorry that daddy dosen't have time for the both of you"

"Mummy i want my daddy, where is my daddy?".

The little boy muttered in his sleep.

"Shhh sweetheart shhh, go back to sleep okay daddy will be here soon"

After he had gone back to sleep she gave him a small peck.

"I love you prince james"

She moved over to the girl's bed and akso gave her a small peck.

"I love you princess Jamie"

With that, she tip toed out of the room.

The next morning.

April's alarm rang out loud,but instead of waking up, she turned it off and continued to sleep.

After sometime her phone rang out like a siren.

"Oh Jesus, can't i sleep i peace?".

She picked up the phone and as soon as she saw she caller, she dropped the phone with a loud hiss. The phone kept on ringing but she ignored it.

The door opened to reveal her twins.

"Good morning mom".

Her twins greeted simultaneously as they came rushing to give her a hug.

"Good morning my angels, how was your night"?

"Mine was blissful although i had a dream that you were crying profusely".

James replied.

"Really"?.

April asked while squatting to his level.

"Mom i also had a dream".

Jamie said jealously.

"And what did you dream about"?

"I dreamt that you said 'I love you princess Jamie".

Jamie replied smilling sheepishly.

"Well, i love you my prince and princess".

April said and engulfed them into a tight hug.

London.

Micheal arrived the airport and was moving to the area where a cab is supposed to pick him. He brought out his phone and as he was about to dial a number, he bumped into someone.

"Oh my God, i'm sorry".

He began to apologise.

"No problem everybody make mistakes".

Micheal looked properly to see that the lady he bumped into is very a beautiful lady.

"And has this beautiful lady forgiven me?" Micheal asked her in a flattering tone.

With a charming smile she responded.

"Yes handsome, i have forgiven you and nice to meet you".

Wanting to go futher with the conversation she asked him.

"Can i know you"?

But before he could reply an announcement was made.

"Oh that's my flight, after 3 years i'm finally going back to my home in Georgia".

She said sadly.

"Well, i'm also from Georgia too, maybe one day we will meet again" He said impatiently, like he was running out of time.

"Yes, maybe".

"Wish you a safe trip miss".

Micheal said while walking away.

"For sure we will meet again...Mission one accomplished".

O'neil's residence.

James had been staring at his mother's phone for a long time now because since when they entered the room the phone never stopped ringing although it stopped for a few minutes then it continued again.

"Mom, why aren't you picking you call?

"It isn't important my prince".

"But it says 'Daddy' ".

"I'm picking the call'

Before April could say jack, James had already picked the call.

"Hello daddy" James spoke over the phone.

"Hello James, how are you?"

"I'm fine dad, you're away again aren't you?, is it me and jamie you hate or it's mummy"?.

"Son, i don't hate any of you, just that my job takes more of my time. But i promise that this is gonna be the last long trip". Micheal replied from the other end if the phone.

"Don't believe him James, he's lying again" Jamie replied nonchalantly.

"Are you sure dad?".

James asked again, looking for assurance in Michael's voice.

"Super duper sure honey".

"Let me speak to Jamie" Micheal requested.

James handed over the phone to Jamie.

"Daddy wants to speak to you"

"Tell him, i'm not speaking to him".

Jamie replied without even looking at the phone.

"James"?

Michael called again.

"I know your mom is there and she dosen't want to speak to me too, but tell her there's a note under the pillow for her, bye".

"Bye".

James dropped the phone and conveyed the message to April.

"Mom, dad left a note under his pillow for you".

"Okay, prince i'll check it out. 'Jamie' "?

"Yes mom".

Jamie answered playing with her hair.

"What you did to your daddy was rude, don't do that again okay".

Jamie gave a sheepish smile and ran out ou the room saying "I don't carreee!!!".

James also ran after her. April checked under the pillow in search of the note. She found the note and as she read through each line made her angry. She finally couldn't take it:She squeezed the note and threw it across the room.

After a refreshing bath, April applied lotion to her skin and then wore a very comfortable gown.

She picked up her phone and dialed a number. After the fifth beep someone from the other end responded.

"Hello aunt Victoria"

"Hello Mrs. April O'neil, how are you doing"? .

The person from the other side asked with a tone of formality.

"Oh aunt Victoria, drop it, i'm like a daughter to you and you're like a mom to me just call me 'April'.

"April, my child i've missed you, you rarely call, rarely even visit, have i done something wrong to you"?

"No, aunt victoria you haven't , just that i've been very busy with the kids and my marriage.

"Is everything okay between you and Micheal, because you sound really sad?, okay you know what?, try to visit me as soon as you can so we can talk about it".

"Okay aunty victoria, because i really need someone to talk to".

After April dropped the call she looked around room and her eyes landed on what looked like a card. She got up and walked over to the table to have a closer look.

"Oh, this is Benjamin's card, he has his own marriage councelling institute".

After staring at the card for along time, she began to question herself aloud.

"Does my marriage need counceling?.

She shook her head, as if wiping the idea off.

I don't think Michael would like a third party in our marriage. What am i even saying, his mother is already a third party".

She hissed aloud and dropped the card back on the table.

Anne alighted from the car that brought her from the airport. She looked around the house for a very long time.

"Three years away from home and nothing has changed just the people".

She sighed.

Approaching the house, maids and man servants had already lined up waiting to welcome her. There was a woman amongst them who looked elderly. Immediately Anne saw the old woman she rushed to her, the old woman opened her arms wide to welcome her. They hugged for a very long time before disengaging.

"Nanny Bee, i missed you". Anne spoke to the woman with tears in her eyes.

"Me too my sweetheart, three years has had it effect on you. you now look diffrent and more beautiful".

The woman (nanny Bee) also replied with tears in her eyes.

"Lets go inside my child, your mother awaits you".

"No, nanny Bee, that woman isn't my mother, i hate her with everything in me. She has never for once treated me like her daughter so why should i acknowledge her as my mother".

Anne replied with diffrent emotions running through her,the most evident: Anger.

"My dear child, there's a lot we need to talk about but first go and say 'hello' to your mother.

All of you go back to yout duty post".

All the maids and man servants immediately dispersed, while some went into the house others went to diffrent location around the large compound.

Anne went through a long hallway and taking deep breaths with each steps she took.She finally came face to face with a huge wooden but beautiful door that had huge animal statue on both sides.

Before Anne could knock on the door, a voice from the other side responded.

"Come in".

She opened one side if the door and entered into the room.

"Hello mother, i'm home". Anne said fearfully with her head bowed.

"Well good for you, i never wanted you around. If not for the fact that Mrs O'neil begged me to let you destroy her son's marriage. According to her she prefers you to her so called daughter in law".

The woman who wore a long black gown and a black hat said and faced Anne for the first time since she entered the room. She looked at Anne from up to down and scoffed before walking away to the other side of the room.

"So, three years in London and this is what you look like, you haven't changed at all. I don't blame you, this is what happens when you have soo much money at your disposal and refuse to use it".

She demonstrated in a scornful manner as she spoke to Anne before finally sitting on the bed.

"Well, mother i never begged you to send me to London, i had my life here in Georgia and i was enjoying every bit of it before you forcefully took......".

Anne didn't finish as a hot slap landed her face.

"Shut up you ungrateful wrench, i did you a favour by taking you abroad. You think i don't know the reason why you didn't want to travel?,, it was because of that stupid Micheal right?".

"Mother you didn't want me with him then so why now"?. Anne retorted.

"Well it's all for a deal, a deal that would fetch us a whole lot more than we ever imagined. Just watch and see Anne, watch and see".

The woman gave a wicked laugh.
