CHAPTER ONE

I had just returned back from school when I noticed the tensed face of my cousins on me that got me really worried. I hated them but just to satisfy my curiosity I asked Tim, the eldest son of my aunt and but he just sighed deeply.

"What's going on?" I yelled, angrily.

"Your father was rushed to hospital after he had a panic attack and now mom said he wouldn't be waking up anytime soon" Uby, the meanest of them all yelled and the last born, Iris broke into premium tears.

My eye felt heavy, my heart shattered into pieces and it was like a whole world had just been dumped on me after Uby mentioned my father's situation.

"No! No! No!!!" I shook my head negatively and rushed out of the living room to my father's favorite garden at the back of the kitchen door because there is no way my father is hospitalized.

He was perfectly okay this morning before I had left for school and I don't even trust my cousins because they are the meanest of all and they are probably pulling my legs again.

But unfortunately, the weren't lying. My father had been hospitalized and Gina, my aunt took me to visit him at the hospital in the evening.

I cried my eye out as I watched my father body lifeless with life support machine sustaining him.

"It would be better if he wakes up fast because I don't have much money to spend on his hospital bills" Gina said, to the doctor whilst me crying so hard.

My fist clenched so hard as I heard her yelled at the doctor but there was nothing I could do because I was just a poor child.

The doctor finally left and she walked up to me with a death glared.

"We are leaving now, your mom is coming to get you tomorrow morning so you can finally get off my burdens " She said, and my body froze.

"Mom?" I questioned, because that was the first time I ever heard them talked about my mom existence.

"You heard me right, so now get off my brother and follow me immediately because there is someone outside waiting for you" She addressed, and walked away

"Mom?. Is outside?" I thoughts and ran after her eager to meet my biological mother but on getting to the reception my face dropped when I saw a cute looking guy waiting and he smiled immediately he saw my aunt.

"You must be Jude" Gina asked, and he nodded.

"Where is my mom?" I asked, as I tried to get the cute guy attention that was less of my problems now.

"And you must be that poor little daughter of hers" He said, and my brows arched so madly at him.

"Easy!, your mom had sent me here to give you this. The driver would be coming to get you tomorrow morning so don't soak the bed because no one would be drying that up for you" He said, and passed me a gift bag.

"What's this?" I asked, and ignored all his sarcasms.

"Dress well tomorrow" He winked at me.

"What about the bills?" Gina spoke.

"I don't know ma'am" Jude shrugged and I wondered what they were talking about.
