Chapter ninty one

It was twenty years ago my father your grandfather brought her to the house to be our maid ,she was smart and beautiful and she gave me peace from the pressure being put on me by the family to be this and be that 

Just like you now a lot was expected from me and when I was with her I was peaceful and it was all I cared about the peace .

And so I met up with her time and time again forgetting the strata and whatever society had between us was burned by the flames pin our hearts.

I was young I did not see any implications and I did not know what to do then when our love bloomed it was so bold it stood out daring the sun and by the sun I mean your grandparents and everyone who thought we were wrong to love each other ,

And still I did not see it neither did Angela because no one said anything to us,they just allowed us have our space and then one day 

Your grandfather cane to me and said I have to get married ,I told him I already had Angela in mind and then he said not her

I was stunned I did not know what to do ,I have never left Berlin before ,I did not know any place to run to,my whole world is Berlin and Angela .

He sighs and then continue as his son was listening with rapt attention.

So I did what my father wanted I married your mother and Angela left .

He takes the drink from the table and gulps it ,has him looks at his father now he could see Hendrix in seated in front of him as his father continued 

So I try to find her but in secret but she had vanished into thin air and I did not know what to do ,and then I started to regret my actions ,I could not let your mother go she was the daughter of my fathers rival and our marriage was a seal of peace breaking it meant war.

He gulps the drink again and continued to speak 

Then one faithful day a baby was dropped in front of the house exactly when I was leaving for a meeting and there the baby was with a letter it was Angela ,she had come to give me my son and she said if I loved her I should keep him as a sign if my love and show him all the care I would her.

And that did without cease o loved him and then you .

But your mother was considerate when he was young she nurtured and cared for him but as he grew so did her jealousy,she began to hate and despise him.

To protect him I sent him to London knowing I was time for one of you to be the representative of the family.

"But father it is his right to be the one who represented the family ,he did not steal Mira away they were in love"

I know they were in love ,her father wanted you as her husband  since I said you were going to be the heir.
