CHAPTER ONE
“Am I speaking with Miss Anna ?” a voice across my phone asked.
“Yes. Who am I speaking with, please?
“I am Attorney Luis Davis from A and A Law Consult .” My heart skipped a beat since I had no association with a law firm so I am wondering why the call.
“Hello?”
“Erm, yeah I am. What’s the issue, please? Have I done anything wrong? I am quite confused that’s all.”
“Miss.Anna you have nothing to worry about. I am calling to have a very important conversation with you,” he said, his tone professional.
“Alright, what's it about?”I asked, sounding a bit curious now.
“Well, Mr Williams Donovan requested that I have a meeting with you to discuss something very important with you. He mentioned that you should visit my office with your father who was his driver for this meeting.”
“Okay but can I know what exactly this meeting is about?”, I asked.
“ I am sorry Miss Anna this is very confidential information which can not be discussed over the phone and without the presence of your father.”Mr Luis replied warmly.
“Alright, sir. I will inform my father about this meeting then. When is the meeting?”
“Tomorrow at 10:00 AM at my office,” he says
“Okay Sir”
“That’s perfect. I will send you my office address and please the time is 10:00 am do not forget.”Mr.Luis replied
Okay sure I won't.
“That's great then. See you and your father tomorrow at my office. Goodbye Miss Anna”
“Bye, Mr. Luis”.
I ended the call feeling a sense of nervousness for tomorrow's meeting. I am confused right now because what in the name of hell was that all about? I honestly do not know what is so confidential that it can't be discussed over the phone and needs the presence of my father.
I set the table for dinner and waited for my father to discuss this so-called meeting with him. I look around the house feeling very sad because I miss my mother so much. It has been a year already since we lost her to leukemia so now it is just Dad and I doing this thing called life together. I miss her meals and our endless conversations about my boring relationship life. My mom was my best friend we did everything together even during her last days on earth we were inseparable. Tears run down my cheeks as I remember her and miss her much more this evening.
“Mom wherever you’re I miss you so much today I do not know why but I just want to hug you tightly. Continue watching over us Mom. I will always love you”. I silently murmur to myself.
I hear the front door of our little apartment open and there he is the most important man in my life my father Mr Oswald Smith appears.
