CHAPTER 19&20
"Right now,the silence in Nana's duplex is similar to that of the graveyards. If a needle fall,the sound will be clear.
"Phoebe is trying hard not to cry,she looks at Regina with amusement. She knew she would asked but never thought it will be now.
"Nana can see that Phoebe will soon break down,she quickly used her eyes to send Phoebe out leaving her and Regina.
"Meanwhile, Regina not hearing Phoebe's response returned her attention to her assignment.
"Maybe daddy really hate me,she thought with sadness.
"Regina,she heard Nana's voice and she looks at the woman.
Yes grandma,she answered.
"You see Regina, don't belittle yourself, you have a father like everyone out there.
"Do my father hate me?
No Regina, don't think he does. Infact he loves you alot,Nana answered.
"Then why isn't he here? Why can't he live with Regina and mommy?
"He is coming Regina, soon he will find you and your mommy and you will live with him okay,
Okay.

The next day.
"Today Regina is going to school with determination she will stop all this Tony's madness and be free then wait patiently for her daddy.
Miss Suzy, didn't you say builling others isn't good? Regina asked with her Innocent voice in the teacher office.
"Yes Regina, buillies should be punished,Miss Suzy answered still wondering why Regina asked.
"Then why is Tony builling me?He will asked me to do his assignments for him,he, Lydia, Nathan and Roy will insult me and my family,she said and tears fall from her eyes.
"What did you just say?
CHICAGO'S AIRPORT.
"Hmmm, I smell Chicago, Mil
es said and Jason scoffed.
"You seems happy Mr Miles, what is the reason?Mary the secretary asked.
"Ok, I will tell you because our name starts with the same letter and Mary almost scoffed.
"Don't worry Miss Mary, you are going to love Chicago, same to you boss, Miles smiled.
"You said your wife runs a restaurant right?I asked.
"Yes boss,he answered.
"Book us lunch then we will move to the villa, I said and he get to work.
"I intentionally didn't let anyone welcome us infact the company didn't know we're here already.
"Well,a surprise shouldn't hurt right?
"Phoebe sat on a table in the store thinking about Regina's question.
"Why did she suddenly asked?
"Something must have happened for Regina to ask and she will question her when she is back.
If only Jason is with her, Regina will have no reason to ask that kind of question.
"What are you doing there? You sat down doing nothing?Nana is kind enough to let you live with her,she even sponsored your bastard of a child, can't you be grateful and do this little for her, Lia's angry voice sounded in Phoebe's ear.
"Never you call my daughter a bastard, I won't take it easy with you, Phoebe said calmly but a trace of anger is in her eyes.
"What? Will you beat me? l shouldn't call her bastard? But she has no father,Lia mocked and Phoebe almost bounce on her.
"Hey,hey, what is going on with the both of you? Helen moved closer to them.
"Can't you see you are drawing attention to your stupidity?
"Lia, what are you doing here? Didn't I asked you to get me something?
"Well, I saw a bad behavior and decided to correct it. I'm sorry,Lia said and left after giving Phoebe a look which she ignored.
Recently,Nana made Helen the manager and that is the reason why Lia apologize.
"Phoebe,, are you okay? please work on something, Helen said and left.
"I need to find another job, I can't continue to be a burden to Nana,she said to herself when her phone rings.
"Hello Miss Suzy,she greeted wondering why Regina teacher will call her.
Hello ma, please ma, your attention is needed, please be here in 20 minutes.
Alright ma but is there a problem?
We'll talk when you are here.
