Episode 12
After several hours of being together at Diamond
castle, Tony and co decided to leave. It was 6.45pm
already. Ansa dropped Alice and Felix off at home and
promised to come visit them some of these days. As
Alice and Felix approached the house, she sighted the
black camry with Gilbert seating waiting patiently for
her.
At first, she felt like nhiding but she decided not to.
She approached him
‘what are you doing in my house?’ she asked with
anger in her voice. Gilbert looked at her with fire in his
eyes
‘so this is what you do now Alice eh? You now go out
and come back late at night right?’ he asked grabbing
Alice by the neck. Alice writhed in pain amd begged
Gilbert to please release her but he didnt. Felix was
old enough to know his mother was getting hurt. He
only begged Gilbert to leave his mother alone but
Gilbert pushed him away
‘you stay away, little kid! You are not to interfere with
adult’s issue.’ he said
‘please leave……… Me alone, you monster!’ Alice said
trying to free herself from his grip. He finally released
her. She moved as far as she could from him
‘you are a monster Gilbert and i will never love you.
All you do is hurt me everytime i see you and you
compare yourself to Benjamin? Shame on you!’ she
said battling with tears.
‘dont push me woman. You know what i’m capable
of’ Gilbert said as he gnashed his teeth in anger.
‘yes i know what you are capable of. You are capable
of hurting the very woman you claom to love! I hate
you monster’ Alice said.
‘Alice, i’m sorry, i didnt mean to hurt you’ he said
suddenly felling remorseful as he moved closer.
‘dont come near me, if you do i will shout!’ Alice said
grabbing Felix’s hands and moving backwards with
him.
‘Alice, you know much i love you. I’m sorry. I dont
know what came over me. Please forgive me.’ he
said. Tears were escaping from his now
‘get lost Gilbert, i dont want to ever see you here
again else i will call the police’ she said.
Gilbert begged as much as he could but Alice didnt
give him a listening ear. He later left with anger in his
heart.
The cold reception Tony got from Maria was
overwhelming. He had never seen her behave like that
before. Of course she started bombarding him with
words.
‘who is she huh? Just tell me her name’ Maria asked
rudely
‘i dont understand you Mar….’
‘dad how could you? I trusted you. i thought you
would not do anything that will hurt mum but i was
wrong! Dad, i will never let you disgrace mum, i will
never let you. You will not bring another woman to
this house as far as i’m concerned and still your
daughter’ she said quickly
‘now you shut up!’ Nneka’s voice rang out as she
approached the living room
