second chance

? Lukas?

Hello Lukas, good morning to you!

I Was happily playing with maria, when Mr Richard (Amelia's dad) came in, Oh good morning Mr Richard, I responded.

I would like to have a conversation with you, he said,

I transferred Maria to the nanny and followed Mr Richard to the sitting room.

I am very grateful for all you did to save the company, Mr Richard said.

Secondly, I will like to ask you a question,

Are you willing to let go of the promise you made for your mom for the sake of my daughter? Mr Richard continues....

Because Amelia is my favorite daughter, you have known that when staying with us, and I would not tolerate anybody hurting her again, not even from you. Mr Richard said.

I promise you sir, I would never let go of Amelia again, i said feeling guilty for my past action.

I heard the company is now back to life sir? I said.

Yes Lukas, we recorded the best profit making in history of the company this past year.

And we hope you as the new owner would be available to visit the company soon. Mr Richard said.

I have decide to sell back My shares in the company back to you, that is if you are interested in my offer, you just need to pay the exact value i pay," I said.

Oh how can I pay you back Lukas, Mr Richard said with tears almost out of his eyes.

you don't need to, I only bought the shares to make My Dear Amelia happy...

Are you sure about that Mr?

Amelia walked in, what could you men be discussing?

Amelia Asked.

Amelia Lukas has decided to hand over the company back to me, Mr Richard said, now tears rolling out of his eye.

Thank you so Much My Love, Amelia said hugging me tightly with so much joy in her face.

You know I would do anything for you, all I am interested in was to always see smile one your face, and our beautiful Maria, I said.

you guys should postpone your conversation for another time, breakfast is ready,

Mrs Richard (Amelia's mom said," as she grab her husband's hand to the dinning.

? One week later?

?Amelia?

I am missing you already, I wish you can all stay for more days, I said packing my parents luggage to the car.

If you come back to New York you won't have to miss us everyday, Lucy said as she was standing beside the door!

won't you come and help with the packing? I said .

Amelia it is better you come back to New York, you have a good job waiting for you and importantly you should come back because of Luka...

Oh dad stop it already, I can't rush back, and get hurt again.

But you are already going out with Lukas and even slept together, so what are you talking about? Are you waiting for another pregnancy to come up again, so that you can run to another city and hide the truth from him again? Sophia said staring at me with a strange look.

I dropped the Box am holding and went straight inside the house.

"Sophia , shut your mouth,"

My mum shouted, running after me.

My dear, we all know you are hurt and we also feel your pain, I am your mother I won't lie to you, Lukas truly loves you she said.

Truly, I love Lukas very much and I doubt if I will ever love another person like him.

Ok Mum, I will give Lukas another chance, I said smiling.

we both went back outside to join the other members of the family.

it seem mom was the only person they are all waiting for.

Now get in the cars honey, it's getting late, My dad said to my Mom,"

I am already missing you guys....

Then come back home, Lucy intrude me while I watch my Dad drive out.

?? Lukas??

Mom, I will bring them to you by the weekend I promised,

My wife and daughter will sure visit you this weekend.

was on the phone talking to my mum when I heard a familiar voice behind me.

Whose wife and whose kids are you talking about?

I looked back and saw sharon, looking at me with a wicked look.

You think you can leave me for one prostitute, who sleeps around with other men!

what are you doing here sharon ? I thought I told you to stay away from me amd my family.. I said watching her walk closely to me..

Lukas, you must be joking, you think I will let go of you this easily?

we are meant for each other , she tried holding me while I pushed her out from my front.

if I can't marry you, nobody can, she said aggressively, I will make sure you regret this.. she continued...

I watch her while she walked into the eatery..

I was going to get something to eat before this good for nothing lady appear to me,.. I could not go inside the eatery anymore because of Sharon , so I went back into the car an drove off.

I could not stop thinking of what Sharon said, Sharon was a dangerous woman, I thought to myself, what if she try to hurt Amelia and my little Maria? no I won't let that happen.

The next day I drove to Amelia's house, ready to move her and Maria back to New York.

Good morning sir, I looked behind me and saw Mrs Obazu, Maria's nanny carrying Maria who was sleeping in her arms, good morning Obazu I responded, with so much worries on my face, where is my wife? I asked"

she went to work sir Obazu responded.

hope everything is alright sir? Obazu asked me "

yeah I am fine, I responded.

can you get me a cup of coffee please?

sure sir, just a minute "

I collected Maria from the nanny and took her to her room, where I lay her on her bed and i lay down beside her, waiting for Amelia to come back so that we can leave for new york.

Amelia came in, looking stressed and tired , and also looking worried, I came in to the living room and saw her sleeping tirelessly, but she woke up as she heard a footstep coming towards her.

when did you come in?.. She asked me yawning, you must be very tired may be you should go inside your room and have some rest before we leave.

leave ?

Leave for where with that surprise look on her face!!

I am taking you and Maria back to New York today I said..

and why is that, you expect me to leave my job without informing the company management? Amelia said feeling exhausted.

you can send your resignation to the through email or something I said as she stood up walking into her room and I followed her.

I don't understand why you are doing this Lukas , and where would Obazu go??

the poor lady has no where to go!but we can take her if she don't mind moving to new york with us, I said.

you and Maria are not safe here Amelia, Sharon is deadly, and I don't know what she would do to hurt you and Maria when I am not here, so to be able to protect you and also for Maria sake, let's go back to New York I said holding her hand while she looked me in the eye feeling pitiful.

ok, ok. but,

(Amelia pov)

"The next day"

who are you talking to this early in the morning? Lucas ask, holding my waist from behind , I hope is not one of those guys trying to snatch you away from me, because that would not happen" he said still holding onto me.

I quickly shut him up, nobody is going to snatch me away from you if you did not throw me away yourself, I said.

But you know i will never lose you for anything in the world, Lukas said .

I need to have my bath, I said to lukas who was busy playing with Maria!
