Tripping

Chapter 10

Sanderson .(Ira's Dad).

I just confirmed the idiot that ran into my daughter, I need to see him and break his hand the more for being so careless and drunk and still drive a car.

I wonder who gave him the license,

I was about going to the room when I saw Lowinna, my ex wife, she looks really beautiful but she was crying,

She cleaned her eyes repeatedly, I stared at her, not letting my gaze drop from her,

Oh! how much I loved that woman, but she never loved me, and I regret not being her lover, she would have been a great mom to our children. Especially to Ira, who never had a motherly figure by her side except her nanny.

I called her name and she jerked back in fear as her eyes met mine,

I could see the pain she's nurturing in between those beautiful blue eyes of hers, I fell for years back.

She turned around from the gaze and took to her heels, I ran after her trying so hard to catch up with her but she increased her pace,

I lost her as she got to the exit and entered an SUV car parked outside, the car drove out in a hurry.

I hate to admit but I lost her just like the first time she decided to leave my life, I chased after her but she's a good runner and she was able to run out of my reach.

Lowinna POV,  (Ira's mom).

After Cole embarrassed me in front of everyone as I tried to hug him, I couldn't muster the courage to go in and see Ryder in his condition.

I love those two boys with my life, I can't wait for the day Cole will see me as family and not as a love taker,

He thinks I just want to take away his father's love but that's not true, I loved his father even before his mother came into the picture.

Michaelson, Cole's father was my first love and boyfriend back in secondary school but our parents never liked themselves so we had to go separate ways and I was forced to marry sanderson who showed interest in me and won my parents heart but not mine.

After many years I got married to  Sanderson, Michaelson's wife  Lowinna died.

He was in pain, and we had the chance to talk , I was there with him the whole time and I discovered that I still feel the same for him like always,

We secretly saw each other for six months before he proposed to me and I accepted I had to leave Sanderson and I knew he won't let me take my children, but I love them so much,

I have a secret that no one knows about except myself and my grand aunt,

As I cried out in the waiting room, I saw Sanderson, my ex husband, as he called my name just the way he normally calls it,

He was so nice to me, treated me like an egg but I never loved him, he tried so hard to win me over but it didn't work, I know he hates me now but I don't care, one bit.

I fear of him discovering my secret I had kept for twenty six years now, I can't let him find out,

I intend taking that secret to the grave, I can't risk it.

I took to my heels, he called my name repeatedly and tried so hard to catch up with me, but I beat him to it  and went to the waiting car, I asked the driver to hurry and leave and he didn't argue but just followed the instruction.

I turned around I saw Sanderson from far away, he kicked the air repeatedly like he always do when he's defeated,

I smiled to myself as I remember when I normally defeat him in a race,
