Chapter Fourteen

Mrs Williams stood by the door with her phone in her hands her facial expression could tell that she was worried sick for her son who for weeks has not reached out to them. The maid walked up to her

" Ma'am ,what are we having for dinner? Mrs Williams didn't give a straight answer,she sighed and said

"Something light" with that she dial the number again but it was getting forwarded.

The maid looked at her confused she walked away into the kitchen to prepare something light for the family.

" Seriously, son whats going on? Let it not be that you silenced your phone or you're intentionally not picking my calls. Like father like son' she murmured.

" Anna, at the rate you're going now, our son might think that there's trouble at home. Let him be. Maybe he's busy at the moment" Elroy tried to reason with his wife deep down he too was worried. He was all alone in Acordia and his number was not reachable but he could not panic the way his wife was, if so nobody would console the other.

" It's been two weeks am damn worried about him. My only child" she raised her index finger signifying one

" Come,." He held her hands " can you call down? " He asked she nodded " no, I can't. It is my duty as a mother to always check up on my son,.not just me you too as his father should be worried but you seem pretty calm and alright with the situation. Did Adonis call her already? Or did he tell you not to tell me he called? She was being rhetorical and she knew it.

" No, Adonis did not call me and why would you think that I would keep your son away from you ,you two are like fry eggs and hot toast" she fired him a glare making him chuckled at his wife.

" Excuse me, I have to call my son" she walked inside sitting on the couch waiting patiently for his call but nothing. The maid entered the living room to call them both for dinner but it seems ,Adonis not picking her calls made anxiety fill their stomachs.

" Ma'am, sir. Your dinner is served" she said. Mr. Elroy wave at her indicating they'd eat later

Back in Acordia, his phone rang endlessly as his mother called. Bella entered the living room from the verandah with tray in her hands when she heard some vibration,she dropped the tray to check where the vibration was coming from,she saw his phone on the table with ' sweet mom" calling. It was obvious his mother was calling. She had called him countless times and this was the 20th call. Mother's love ,it instantly reminded her of her mother. She rushed to the verandah where he was playing cards with Martha who kept using her powers trick and cheat Adonis.

" You're not playing fair" he yelled playfully.

" That's because am a witch , we're manipulative so expect. There's no fair game in our bloodline." She said laughing aloud.

" Your mother has been calling " she announced giving him,his phone he was sure his mother was very scared, and the reason she had not driven down to Acordia was because his father was holding her back ,he picked and loud scream and scolding him.

" Mom, calm down my cellphone was inside the house, didn't have it with me" he said

" You had me worried there" she sighed, she was relieved.

"I told you, don't jump into conclusions" he heard his father's voice at the back ground he couldn't help it but to laugh at their Silly argument.

" Mom, Dad. Am fine dont worry about me. I can take care of myself" he said quite embarrassed ,he had two ladies with him and he didn't want them to see how much of a baby he was to his mother.

" Well, it's a good thing you are. Try to be calling before you give me high blood pressure, son" she said sitting down.

" Yes Mom, I would" he replied.

" Yes by the way, Anita dropped by yesterday. She was looking for you. The girl has really changed Alot son" she told him,his face squeezed into a frown immediately he had the name 'Anita' his ex girlfriend when they were still in college.

" What did she say she wants? He asked obviously not interested. I'mmediately Bella heard a 'she'. She became curious to know who the she was to him.

Anita Richardson was his heart throb far back in college. She was telling only one to tame his malicious ways with girls back then,he decided to stay with her and just her but when he found out her dirty secret he immediately asked for a break up . He was still very much in love with and it seems hard to erase someone your heart is addicted to. For three years he hadn't heard from her but was worried about her. Even though he's trying his possible best to get over her it seems impossible and now she's returned to cause trouble.

" Son? Are you still there?" His mom asked but he was lost in his thoughts as he recollects all the memories of her both the good and painful ones.

" Yes Mom, what did she say she wants? He asked

" That she missed you alot. You know what son come back home so you can fix your relationship with her. " She squealed his mom likes Anita.

" Why do you say so? He asked confused.

" Since you two broke up ,you haven't been to any new relationship. Even your marriage to Adrea you terminated it. So it only means one thing. You're still in love with your ex,Anita." She explained he was confused." Do I still love her? He asked himself.

"Just come home, son" she persuaded.

" Ok I'll be home tomorrow, so be expecting me" he said his mom won't stop until he gives in to her request. ' Anita' he called her name.

" Whose Anita? Martha asked as she chuckled.

" Ermm.... It's no body" he quickly said.

" Really,you sound nervous. You're lying" she pierced her eyes into his.

" We're not that close for you to do that ". He tried to look away from her reading his mind.

" Your ex? Anita is your ex? She said aloud causing Bella to turn ". Who was " Anita". He stood up and left for his room.
