Mummy I got you a new husband

SOPHIE’S POV

As we approached the car, still pretending to admire each other, I kissed Karl on the cheek, which he scowled at. I ignored him and entered the car. Karl groaned and showed his disapproval as soon as he got into the car.

” Do not ever act in that manner again.” He mouthed as he motioned for the driver to head directly to Davis and Selene’s school. He seemed annoyed with my actions and also surprised at how I could pull all of this off because I caught him staring at me in disbelief afterwards, I guess he was still unable to comprehend how I could do all of that.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

” Desperate times need desperate measures.” I muttered smiling as I caught a glimpse of him staring at me. I guess I could not believe myself too. I didn’t think I would be able to do all of that but I guess I was just desperate. I was excited that I was able to pull of the deal and could barely hide my excitement which seemed to irritate Karl even more as he sighed repeatedly as we left for both our children school.

I had exhausted all of my options pulling off that deal. All of the glamor came at a cost but it was a price necessary to pay. One would have thought Sonia would have come to my aid when the house issue happened but she had vehemently told me a while ago even before I lost my house that she was sure as hell never going to have another female at her house as she presumed every woman was after her man and seemed very protective of him.

I was satisfied knowing I had a comfortable home for my daughter, a father for her and an opportunity to deal with Karl. I could not seem to let go of what he did to me many nights ago but I guess life presented an opportunity for me to get justice as he did not even seem to recognize me.

I guess the evil, men did also lived with them and I was happy at this opportunity. Karl appeared upset about the position I had put him, but I did not care; I was happy with everything going on.

When we arrived at the school, we waited at the entrance for both our kids. Fate had it that they were both in the same class. I figured it would be easier for everything to fall in place hoping that they could already be friends.

Before we had arrived as we were in the car, I had informed Karl that I wanted to officially introduce him to Selene as her dad on her birthday and I would rather if he kept everything from her until her birthday. He ignored me but I was sure he got my point as he responded after a while.

” When and where is the party?” He asked and I responded I thought it would be best we had it at his house. Karl seemed to have developed a likeness for Selene as he was ready to do anything for her. I was sure if I was involved he would have refused vehemently as he said so afterwards.

” Well, put up all you need so I can send the money for it and be rest assured this is for Selene not you. Here is my house address, make it simple and small.” He responded and when we did arrive I asked that we pretend to not have arrived together.

“Why is that? I would not have you dictate what should happen in this contract, you work for me remember?” He said finally as he highlighted from the car and I followed suit. I pleaded with him telling him I knew I worked for me but would be delighted if he did me the favor for Selene’s sake.

I had hoped to surprise selene on her birthday as it was barely 24 hours away. I suppose with everything going on, she had decided to not bother me about a party or even the present I had promised.

The party seemed like the ideal chance to introduce Karl which was why I asked for an advance, among other things but with Karl volunteering to handle the expense I could not be more excited.

Our kids ran to us and hugged us but Selene had gone to Karl first, and embraced him. I could not be more heartbroken. Karl has stolen my daughter’s heart and after she left go of his embrace she walked to me to embrace me too.

Selene raised her head and asked me if I and Karl had come together but I replied in the negative. She gave me a suspicious look and asked Karl about it.

” Uncle Karl are you and mummy a couple?” She asked him and he smiled and raised his head to stare at me and I signalled him to respond In the negative. He looked down at her again and responded. His son just stared at us all wondering what Selene met by couple.

” Couple?” Karl’s son Davis asked immediately he heard her and looked to his father for a response which did not seem forth- coming just yet.

” No my dear, we met at the entrance.”I watched how disapointted she looked when he responded to her and he tried to cheer her up.

” Thank goodness, I almost thought we were going to be siblings.” Davis said after his father had told Selene we were not together. I worried if this was a good sign as he seemed not to really like my daughter Selene.

” I hope you are not sad. Dnt worry about your mum and I, Ok love.” he assured her and I thanked him as he left. I motioned that I was going to message him as I now had his number. I was planning to move into karl house after the birthday party. The birthday would be at our new house and he had agreed. We both concluded we were going to introduce both our children at the party.

As i went back, my phone beeped and when i checked it was Karl. He had sent me some money as I requested and told me that it’s was strictly for the party and I could request for more if necessary.

I rushed to make some preparations that I could and sent some money to my landlord for the rent so I could get my stuffs. We got out keys and I got into the house with Selene afterwards. I had decided I didn’t want Lois drama or mockery so I sneaked in with my daughter hoping to do what we had too and return to Karl’s house afterwards.

I made preparations for the birthday from the house as I didn’t have a job so I had more time.

By morning, I woke Selene with a birthday cake. It has been delivered the night before, moments after we had arrived at the house when she had slept off.

” Happy birthday my baby girl.” I said and she turned around her bed and sluggishly woke up. She soon jilted up from her sleep as soon as she noticed I was holding something. She seemed so delighted about the cake not knowing I had anything planned.

” Thank you mummy, I love you.” She responded excitedly as she embraced me. She let go of me and stared at the cake giggling excitedly.

” Make a wish my love.” I said to her and she closed her eyes for a while. Soon enough it seemed she had decided what to wish for.

” I wish for love and happiness and a new husband for you mummy.” She whispered as she made the wish and blew the candle afterwards. Tears welled up my eyes as I heard her and I tried to not let my emotions get the best of me.

” She didn’t even wish for anything for herself.” I muttered as I tried to giggled trying to hold myself from crying. I hugged her again so tight that she had to revolt for me to let go.

” Mummy you are choking me.” She said and I giggled letting her go afterwards. I loved her so much, I could do anything to make her happy.

” Baby, mummy has a surprise for you later today.” I said as I let her go. She raised her eyebrows questioning me with her eyes what it was about.

” Yes baby it’s a surprise dear.” I responded and took a knife to slice the cake and handed her a piece afterwards.

It was the weekend so Selene did not go to school that day. I made arrangements so we could head over to Karl house later that day.

Karl had sent a car for Selene to pick her up for the birthday party.

” Mummy where are we headed?” Selene questioned me repeatedly as we left the house to the car that Karl had sent to pick us.

” It is a surprise my love, you would soon find out.” I responded smiling as we got in.
