Chapter2.

What is she doing here and why is there a suitcase over there?" Father-in-law saw how clingy his son was towards her, fiddling to hear him speak. Fredrick moves closer to his dad and blocked rina from his angry gaze, "I'll tell the truth dad, but can we talk in private?" He says and looked at me... Father turned and I got the idea they both wanted me to leave. "Urgh! Don't look at me, I ain't going anywhere, it's either you tell us the whole truth or forget about it". I fought back. I had this feeling that there was more to Fredrick's behavior than meets the eyes, and I want to be here when he tells the truth. My Father-in-law asked me to leave. I frowned and left them alone to talk, rina followed behind. (The door closed, leaving them alone in the room) "So tell me! I am all ears and please be careful not to lie to your father?" Father said to Frederick. Frederick took in a deep breath and said, "actually dad!! Rina isn't just Sophia's best friend, she's my mistress". A long and disappointing demeanor dropped, father was so dumbfounded by his son's shocking news, he seats on the bed and tries to comprehend. "Dad!! Are you okay?". Fredrick asks. "Son! Do you know, what killed your mom, my wife?". He asked his son, Frederick tells the story his father told him while growing up. "Yes dad, you told me that mom died after giving birth to me?" He says to him. Father laughed a little, "I do believe that it's time to know the truth! Because your mom didn't die after giving birth to you and your brother, she died as a result of the bad mistake I made". (Continues talking) Fedrick quietly listens to him speak, so he says, " I was like you!! Tall, handsome, with raging hormones as well". "Your mom was the daughter to my father's best friend and after our alliances fixed, we got married, not because we loved each other, it was for the sake of our families". "We both lived together, not as husband and wife but as friends, your mom made sure to fulfill every desire I had, and when I say desire, I meant my goals and dreams in life, she will always try to make out time to help me, even the most littlest thing!! Indeed Riya was a good friend to me". "As destiny may have it, our tagged friendship turned into love and love turned into a beautiful love story, Everything seems to be going well for me, but the devil had to interfere by bringing in someone into our lives, Rosie Hill, your moms best friend and when she walked into our lives, everything changed". "I had no idea what came over me, Rosie became my mistress, and somehow Riya heard about it, she got pained and cried bitterly when my infidelity was exposed," "The news circulated to our families, I had no idea it gradually consumed your mom from within, my infidelity got her so depressed, she died by running into an oncoming vehicle, I still can't forgive myself for the sins I committed against your mom". (Ends talking).
