Begging For Forgiveness

Patrick adjusted his neck tie to loosen and he unbuttoned some of his white sleeves buttons as he was feeling hot and sick despite the Air-conditioning on.

His office line rang out and he picked up, knowing he had a visitor.

"Sir, Willow Albert is here to see you" Ava informed him and his brows furrowed.

"Don't let her in, and send her away, before I send the guards downstairs to do it themselves." He immediately dropped the office line and Ava stared to her own office line speechless as she lost words to spoke to Willow, whom stood in front of her in her red short gown and black boot, and refusing to sit

"What did he said?" Willow slowly asked as she saw Ava shifted her gaze away and stared to her computer rather.

"Am sorry, but boss insisted you leave or he will send for the security to send you away."

Willow bitted her lower lips nervously. She knew he wouldn't accept to see her and she has flew into the country the previous day after realization dawned on her that Tony wanted to used her to get to Patrick.

Tony and Patrick were best friends before as they hung out together, hosted ladies together but what went wrong between them, she had no idea about it. She never even expected for Tony to had recorded her affair with him as she only travelled out and just wanted a banged with him, a one night stand with him, a secret affair but it seemed Tony was a snitch.

She stared to Ava Adams and she had no words to argued with Ava, knowing that the only option she had left was to continually visited Patrick's aged mother, so that she can mount pressure on Patrick and make him to marry her.

She regretted taken pills the previous times when Patrick had banged her and wanted a baby from her claiming that his mother wanted a heir and a son from him. She was only 23yrs when she started dating Patrick and felt everything was like a rush to her. She wanted to explore different men and with Patrick bringing the topic of marriage it was like an imprisonment to her as her family hadn't even spoken to her about marriage yet as they believed she was still young and needed time to explore before finally settling down, but Patrick had proposed to her immediately she turned 24yrs and proposed with an engagement ring a month ago in front of everyone in his hotel, in the first ground floor lobby and the magazines, news, and every entertainment blogs posted and reprinted images and photos of their engagement.

Her father, Mr Ben Albert was proud of her as the Anderson was well known and it became official that she was Patrick's fiancee and he was her fiance. But she wasn't ready then to settle down with him yet.. She loved him, but she wanted her freedom and exploring of different men, but after what Tony did, she felt betrayed.

Tony had threatened to leaked all her videos with him and even edited his head out or blurry so no fans would knew he was the one she had the affair with and labeled her as bad. She feared her father's reputation and what he would do to her if her n*de videos ever got leaked.

She wiped off her teary eyes as she walked out from the secretary office on the first floor as she wasn't even allowed to went upstairs to seeing him, except she has her verification identity card to checked in.

"I love you Patrick, so much.. And I won't give up yet" Willow said to herself, in an affirmative tone as she stepped out from the Anderson hotel and walked back to her Red SUV parked and she sat in and ignited in the engine and drove back home to her family's resident, The Albert's Residential Mansion.

Patrick was still in his office, checking out the new designs of the magazines covers that his secretary, Ava Adams personally brought to him.

He was checking out the styles when his mobile phone rang out again,

"Hello" He spoked coldly as he picked-up and he didn't even stared to the caller and his eldest sister's voice struck his eardrums and he sighed.

"Hi kid bro, how are you doing?" Isabel Owen Anderson asked and Patrick paused and swirled his office seat away from his desk and he stood up and walked towards the large transparent wall window to stared out to the view of the city.

"Am fine sister, how is your family?" he asked her, knowing she cared for him like she was his mother, more than his other three sisters, Olivia, Lily and Victoria, as they were all married and far older than him.

"Fine brother. Mother told me what happened at home and good you didn't sent Loveth back." Isabel said and Patrick rather sighed.

"She's a good girl with proper home training Patrick, the more reason I sent her to mother, as her personal maid as mother complained of loneliness ."

"Hmm" Patrick was quiet and he tried not to think about what his eldest sister, Isabel Anderson Owen was trying to say.

"Okay" His replied was short and he heard her laughing.

"Hahaha!."

"What's funny?" Patrick asked coldly, wondering if any of her children were home with her and doing something funny, as she had three children. Two daughters and a son like him whom was actually 25-years old, Andrew Owen, but they weren't closed, as he was his uncle no matter how younger he maybe.

He wanted respect and he didn't liked to associate with Isabel's son either, except for her 22-years old daughter, Jane Owen that normal visited their mother, that he spoked to her sometimes whenever she visited.

Jane Owen was dark skinned too and Isabel last child whom was 14-years-old teen girl and still in college, Martha Owen, he spoked to them sometimes except for Andrew..

"Not them Patrick. None of them are home with me, am home alone remember. George is planning to move back to the state this year and maybe hopefully I will be closer to mother and come visiting her always," Isabel said and he can hear her laughing again.

"Okay, so why are you laughing?" he finally asked her, as his eldest sister's laughter was very contagious.

"Mother spoked about how she was surprised that you carried the new maid in your arms and took her gently to the couch in concerned and she was shocked to see you cared."

"Hmm!" Patrick felt his blood turned cold as bids of cold sweat formed on his forehead.

He swallowed the hard lump that had formed in his throat and lost words to refute his eldest sister's claims as she continued laughing and angering him the more

"Big sis, I have some works to do here in office, I will chat with you later" Patrick said, wanting the call to end and, not liken the conversation and his eldest sister's laughter either.

"I know brother, tell me the truth, do you like her?." Isabel suddenly questioned and Patrick froze, having heard her questions clearly.

"What do you mean by if I liked a maid sister?, You must be joking and I don't like this at all. I have to go now and am disconnecting the call.." Patrick wanted to end the call but he heard his big sister's screamed, "Wait.."

Patrick paused still holding his phone out and staring to the phone screen.

"I didn't mean to anger you baby brother, why so pissed off?" Isabel asked and Patrick groaned and he finally held the phone back to his earlobe.

"Am not pissed off sister, but I can never have anything to do with a maid. Just get that right and don't question me about her again, if you don't need me to disrespect you" Patrick spoked with gritted teethes.

"Okay. Fine, is okay. Jane would be visiting home soon this Friday, since mother complained of loneliness, she's Loveth friend too and they would be a good company to mother" Isabel finally said.

"I don't understand you?." Patrick questioned and exhaled heavily.

"What didn't you understood in Jane's coming to visit mother?" Isabel asked as she listened to him sighed.

"No, you made mentioned Jane was friends with the maid, how?" Patrick asked again.

"Yes, They're friends and I got to know Loveth thru Jane, though Loveth is from an average home here in west woods, but obviously not rich. They're from a poor and managing family but very kind, as her mother works with us here and sweeping the residential estate street."

"Oh" Patrick hummed and he swallowed.

"Okay then. All that isn't my business, whenever Jane likes she can visit. Today is Wednesday, so definitely in two days time, she will be here and I will let mother know about it, Atleast that way, she would stop disturbing me about marriage" Patrick spoked and Isabel started laughed out again making him to frowned.

"So sorry for laughing brother, But you know I loved to laugh" Isabel said and Patrick sighed.

"I know. Fine, you can suit yourself laughing, I got to hang up the call now, as I have a lot of works to do" Patrick replied.

"Okay baby bro, bye" Isabel spoked and she heard the call disconnected making her to sighed.
