I wanted to go into Selene’s room but decided it was best I called Claire and asked her what she wanted. I didnt know why she called so repeatedly me but couldn’t call her son. I decided I was going to ask her to call him so he could have some comfort and stop worrying.

I left for my room so I could get some privacy to make the call. The phone rang repeatedly and then she picked up.

” I need more money.” Claire said as she picked up the phone, I didn’t seem to understand why she repeatedly ask me for money when she had her lover.

” Shouldn’t she be asking him for more money.” I mumbled as she spoke. I wondered in my thoughts what she did need money for repeatedly. When I did ask her what she needed it for I got even more irritated with her response.

” Just send the money, you know the account.” She responded as though I had to right to ask what the money I repeatedly sent was for.

” I dnt owe you anything Claire, you should stop calling to ask for money.” I responded, Claire felt she was entitled to my money and that couldn’t annoy me any more than the while situation already did. I sighed heavily as I informed her about Davis, I wondered how she never bothered about him.

“How was she even a mother when she never bothered to ask about her son.” I questioned myself still on the call with her and told her her son missed her.

“Davis misses you” I said but she pretended not to hear me and told me to send the money and then ended the call.

I figured I indulged her more than necessary and that was what gave her the effortery to continually ask me for money. It was funny because for some strange reasons I couldn’t say no to her and I justified my reasons to being me wanting to buy her silence.

After the call ended, I sighed deeply as the thoughts of my failed marriage flooded my mind. I loved Claire so much and now she had hurt me I had this feeling towards her. Even though I was sure this feeling wasn’t hate even I decided to call it that.

After a while I decided to go over to Selene’s room to say goodnight as I had planned before the call from Claire.

As I got to her room door, I noticed Davis coming up the stairs and I wondered why he had gone downstairs, he had told me he couldn’t come when I asked him because he had stuffs to do . Unable to hide my curiousity, I asked him what he went down to do.

” What did you go to do downstairs Davis?” I questioned him and he responded that he had to get some water from the kitchen. I watched him head to his room, wearing a weird expression on his face.

I opened the door and saw Selene and asked her what was wrong and she told me all that had happened and how Davis had asked Sophie to make him something to eat this late at night when she wanted Sophie to her a bed time story.

I sighed heavily reassuring her everything was going to be fine and told her u was going to read it to her. Elated she handed me the book .

“Have a good night Selene.” I said to her as I noticed she had slept off just as I was done with chapter one. I closed the book and as I was headed to go get some rest, Sophie walked into the room. It had been a hectic day and I had a lot of files to attend to the very next day.

” Thank you.” She said as she noticed Selene had slept off, she kissed her goodnight as I walked out the door.

Feeling exhausted from all the drama already unfolding within our household walls that evening, my only desire was sleep as soon as possible. With this thought in mind, I headed towards my bedroom while Sophie trailed behind.

I went up to my room and got into the shower to have a bath. I needed to unwind before bedtime.

“This seems more complicated than anticipated.” I mumbled again in the shower. I never expected to have to deal with this emotions especially from my kid.

I got off the shower to meet Sophie already in the room. She was sitted by the mirror taking her makeup off by removing layers of makeup with gentle strokes.

I ignored her going about my night time routine and when it came time for us both settle down, she questioned if we were going share a bed together, and without hesitation, I confirmed on the arrangements

” We cnt share a bed, it would be awkward.” She said telling me how uncomfortable she would be lying on the same bed as me. I stared at her and noticed the unpleasant look on her face. I stared at myself and wondered whether I looked so ragged that she would not want to share a bed with me.

” You should be grateful I gave you the opportunity to grace my bed. If you don’t want to sleep, you could sleep on the couch or the floor.. I dnt really care.” I mouthed and ignored her as I tried to sleep. I noticed her standing as staring at me like she was going to hurt me.

She soon walked away and I smiled, I hoped she had gone to sleep on the couch but soon enough she returned playing a song on her phone and sang along with it so loudly.

” Oh gosh!! What have I gotten myself into?” I questioned myself as I got of from the bed and went to where she was sitted by the mirror.

” What do you want Silly.” I asked her and she smiled mischievously. She seemed to have achieved what she wanted.

” I want us to play a game of coin to determine who would lie on the bed.” She said smiling revealing that she had brought along a coin-our symbol of settling disputes and challenged me to play using this method.

” Auhhh, I am not going to do that, this is my house.” I responded and she say it was ok.

“Ok then.” She said and continue to sing loudly, I looked at her and sure I wasn’t going to win, I agreed but told her I didn’t have a coin to play.

” Dnt worry about it. I have it.” She responded and let to get it from her bag.

” Who walks around with coin for goodness sake?” I asked looking at her wondering what sort of lady I had signed a contract marriage with.
