The journey took less than an hour, we kept catching up on each other and I felt like me for the first time in weeks .

"Bro, you know I'm to blame for the situation I'm in right?" . Even if Kelvin used, raped and tried to kill me, I still played a vital role in the whole situation .

" My virtual Vee, should I tell you what my opinion is on this matter?" . He said cautiously and maneuvered the car into an estate .

"Sure Bro, I really want to know"

"Even if you hate to admit it, you love Kelvin, others might say you fell cheaply for his charms and very quickly too but I know that when it comes to the matter of the heart, we almost do not have a choice . So you did what you thought was right, and he took advantage of your feelings . Even if you made a few mistake, you're not to blame for what happened . Did you think mum wouldn't think of plan B supposing you didn't fall for Kelvin?, the woman is a scheming b***h, I was just too late in realising that a leopard can never be tamed into a cat" . There was a hint of sadness in his voice as he swerved into a compound very much alike to c.o.ker's villa .

I was puzzled, startled and scared at the same time, could it be that Michael was a part of them too?

" Relax Vee, I'll never betray you for anything in the world . Apparently your granddad built both places" . I visibly relaxed and smiled guiltily at Michael, what was I thinking?

We got out of the car and started towards the entrance, the security greeted us respectfully and opened the door to let us in . We met an old man sitting leisurely in the living room, he looked like an older version of me . At the wall behind him was a life size portrait of . . . . . my mother, she looked so pretty with golden eyes and long hair, she stared right at me like she was in the room . The picture captivated me to the spot and made me forget everyone in the room . A great sense of nostalgia washed over me as I recalled that I've seen her before, she's the woman in my dream .

"Now you know where you got your looks from my Vee Vee, come on, come to granny" The old man's words snapped me out of my daze, I made my way to him and curtsied respectfully in greetings but he grabbed me in a hug instead .

"Oh Vee, you look so much like your mother,it's so great to see you again" . He was right, looking at that picture is like peering into a mirror, but this man is embarra.s.sing me, what is the right thing to say at this moment .

" So good to meet you too grandpa but you're squas.h.i.+ng me " . I was almost out of breath .

" Oh, don't mind me, I'm just too happy to see Leah's daughter, how's my great grand daughter doing?, hope she's not giving too much troubles? . . . . . . you need to take care of yourself you know? . . . . . . have you gone for your antenatal? . . . . . . . . " . He kept plaguing me with questions that I felt I was meeting a grandmother instead of a grandad .

I looked over to Michael that was smiling with glee and gave him a look of 'would you like helping me?', the idiot was actually enjoying this .

"I suddenly developed bad manners, please have your seat, I'll have the servants prepare something for you to eat, you look so lean" .

" Oh no granny, I actually just had lunch not long ago" . I said politely .

"Oh, that's right . Michael, I owe you the rest of my lifetime for giving me the honour of seeing both my granddaughter and great grandchild before I breathe my last" . He was teary again, I started to wonder whether this person has a d.i.c.k or a p.u.s.s.y .

" It's nothing granny, you're my grandfather too you know?" . Michael said lovingly and went over to cuddle the crybaby granddad, just how long have they known each other to be this close?

"Erm . . . . . if you don't mind, can I stay here for the main time?" . I quizzed when I got bored of the two guys' lovey dovey .

" Sure love, that would give us enough time to bond, you'll stay in your mom's room OK?"

"OK granny, I'll locate mum's room and freshen up before resting" . I stood up announcing my exit .

" Oh, just go through this entrance, someone should be waiting there to show you to your room" . He beamed and continued to discuss in low tunes with Michael, hence making me a little bit jealous . All in all I was happy, I had a new place to stay without even doing much .

Finally, luck has deemed me fit to smile upon me .
