Chapter Seventy five

"I'm happy for you," Mum said almost the tenth time since today "We're going on vacation grandma". Sunny announced happily to her, Andrew has already broken the good news to her.

Mum turned and stare at me, I know what she was thinking but a few weeks won't be that hard. I want the daughter to have this break before resuming, I can't risk taking her back to the school where she would be vulnerable to Sam's attack.

" We need the break mum, I can't afford to stay here when I know Sam might do something crazy, I want to protect my daughter". "But Sunny would be missing out on a lot of things, she needs to study".  " if taking her out of the school would make her safe in willing to do so, I'll hire a private teacher for her but for now she's staying here with me".  

"Andrew thanks for supporting" Mum looked up at Andrew who has arrived in the room with a tray of coffee. "I'll always do that" Andrew smiled making aunt stand up and hug him. "Thanks" he pecked him. 

 "So tell me more about your marriage" mum smiled trying to hide her worries behind it. It was good seeing her smile though "we're going to suspend everything till we're back on vacation, Becca needs time to relax before anything else". He bent down and pecked me " I have to attend to something, I'll be back soon" he whispered in my ears before leaving the living room. 

I know he wanted to give me the space to talk to my mum. "Becca, mum called my attention " I know you're worried about me mum but I'm okay, I just need a break from all this problem happening". "I know but don't make any hasty decision" I stare at her for a while before responding. "If this is about marrying Andrew trust, me mum, I'm not making any hasty decision I've known him for up to seven years now, I know the type of person he is and you know I wouldn't ever joke on choosing my life partner". " I'm happy you decided to do this and put your past behind you" she moved to where I was sitting and hug me.

I held Sunny's tiny hand in mine as we walk into the mall "wow! It's huge mum". " yeah so huge". "Do they have a game house in one of the stores". "Yeah, but we don't have the time for you to go and play" she pout her lips and let her eyes explore the mall. 

I've never bother taking her to the mall, but it seems she's excited to be here at least she would stop bothering me with questions about when she was going back to school, I want her to go but it wasn't safe now. I don't know what the monster Sam was planning next, I just have to be careful.

We went to the grocery shop and bought the few things we needed before proceeding to the rest of the shop "mum I want this" I turned to know what she was pointing at.

"That Teddy? I asked looking at her and she nodded happily " let me check the price tag" I moved close. "Jeez, it's's pretty costly! I exclaimed looking at the expensive teddy. "Mummy I want it". " it expensive baby" I stare down at her "I can get you another thing". " But mummy" she pleaded. "I promise to get you something nicer" she looked at me with ready eyes. 

"You should give the girl the thing she wants" I almost shrieked recognizing the voice, I turned to watch the smile on her face.

"Buy the girl what she wants, don't be so stingy" Sonia grin. I felt my blood boiled at her presence, I hate every one of them, I clenched my hand tightly to avoid slapping her. "Or don't have any money again" she smiled crouching down to face Sunny. "Hi dear, do you know who I am" Sunny shook her head teary, I couldn't stand here again and let her blab rubbish. "Come sunny" I took her hand to led her with me. "Hey, easy you don't want to make her suspicious of what you're doing" Sonia held her hand  "let go of her hand " I tried my best to keep my anger in check  "I have to let her know that I'm her aunt in case of next time".

 " Theirs no next time" I glared at her. "You'll never know that". She smirked. " let go of my daughter". "She's also my brother's child, so I don't know where you're this angry".  " don't push me to do what you regret for the rest of your miserable life". "I'm not here to cause a scene, she stood up reaching out of the stall where the teddy was kept, and handed it to Sunny who beam happily. " just sad that my niece don't get the opportunity to have what she wanted because of her poor mum" I couldn't take it any longer and did what I should have done for a long time, I hit her hand across the face and watched the pain on her face. Without a word, I took the Teddy bear from Sunny and toss to her before walking off.

I was very angry without noticing that Sunny has already burst out in tears. I raked my hand through my hair in frustration, she was the very one that has made it clear that she doesn't want me to marry her brother now she wanted her brother to take my daughter away from me.

Why are some people cruel, I just wanted to be far away from here where I couldn't see that again. I looked down at Sunny again, she was still crying so hard that pass-by stare at us. "Sunny, I called her nuns making her look up at me. " hold your ears" she stares at me with tearily eyes "now, I order clenching my teeth forcing myself not to shout at her. She did so while still crying.

" Don't you ever dare collect something from someone without my permission, do you understand" she nodded tearily, I never wanted to hurt her. I never want her to be sad and without saying anything I pulled her in into my arms and soothe her.
