Undoing Love

Plans and Replanning

sssshhhhhrrring#

My alarm ringing in the morning, i woke up and snoozed it. Today is the day I find out my fate concerning my children, Matilda told me she called and requested to see the ceo of S&F fashion and was told my appointment is by ten am, and am actually glad that getting her to see me wasn't so hard maybe just maybe she didn't hate me that much. when i think of how i had treated her in the past i shudder and think of all the times she just kept silent and in tears but i don't forget her saying i would eat my words and now i guess i really am eating them and i tell you they are as gritty as sands.

I quickly dress up in a black suit and make my way out of my penthouse same house that we shared, no matter how I tried I couldn't get rid of this place but now I have to do so considering that I have three children. " my God how did she do it? Not one or two but three" I begin to wonder if she would forgive me ever,I doubt I deserve it. I just have to prepare in anyway also keep positive thoughts, although I dunno what good it will do me given the situation at hand.

Sir we are here

I scrub my hands across my face and step out and look up at the building. I must say that am impressed that she has done well for herself, at least the money would go a long way to easing the stress of having three children. ' Ahhh right I also need to get an SUV with three car seats that is if she would allow me see them'. I make my way in and the receptionists readjusts her blouse as she sees me coming and I have a silent smirk that I looked good. Old habits die hard I guess, now if my life could be that simple. I greet and tell her my purpose and am directed to the elevator with my heart pounding and sudden sweat soaking my back.

STACEY'S POV

I wait for Alfonzo with my heart beating, I knew this day would come but I would prolong the inevitable for as long as possible because I would never risk my children's heart for a man who isn't emotionally stable. But I digress with my thinking ,its time to play the cat and mouse game. Yes because if he thinks he can just swagger his way in and have everything handed to him on a free platter, then he doesn't know me and what I am capable of.

As soon as he enters I rise and extend my hand for a handshake and say good morning Mr. Alfonzo what can I do for you today? He was momentarily taken aback by my formal greeting but shook himself out of it and replies " you know why I am here" its about the children, our children with emphasis on the our. I schooled my features into a blank mask but was seething inside," how dare he after all he said and did?

I politely shake my head and say that I was made to understand that this is a business call and not a personal one, your secretary was specifically asked if it was and she requested a business appointment and if this isn't I would ask that you kindly make another appointment as I only had twenty minutes to speak to you asides that I never discuss my family with a client or potential client, good day to you Mr. Alfonzo

Then he burst out laughing and saying I almost believed you to which I reply I am serious and the laugh wipes off his face and he studies me before saying how do I make a personal appointment? But before I could answer my good friend Markos barges in as always but stops short when he saw him. I make my way across to stop him form decking Alfonzo and just for my own gratification I kiss him on the lips and could have sworn I heard a growl but refused to stop as I raise my head Markos gives me the look of you have some explaining to do young lady like he says. When I look back Alfonzo gaze is searing me and if looks could kill we would be singed. But who cares? He should take that as a tip of the ice berg, I mean his face was plastered all over the internet and tabloids with different women, what did I do? Nothing, so he shouldn't and doesn't have any right to give me any looks or have anything to say concerning how I live my life

ALFONZO POV

I was in a haze as I make my way out before I committed murder the picture still playing in my head but what did I expect? I haven't exactly been celibate either but it churns my stomach that she has someone, does he rock my children to bed or was he there at their birth? I would try another day and its not like I can blame my secretary I didn't explain the details just that she should book an appointment. This is going to be really hard, I couldn't even get a read on her face, I can't tell what she's thinking. She has a good poker face now, I used to be able to tell what she was thinking when we were together. I guess it's still my fault she had to become this cold person, she's had to be given the way life must have treated her and I added to it. Only if I could go back, but really how was I to know that the pregnancy was mine. I mean I was married for six years with nothing to show, three doctor confirmations and yet the same results. I couldn't totally be blamed but I could have given her the benefit of doubt. Lilith! ahhh I might commit murder before I get any headway with Stacy on how to meet up with my children. It still feels surreal, I have children?

I don't even know their names, what they like to eat or do? Nothing about them. This is a horrible nightmare that I wish I could wake from but I couldn't afford to wallow in my misery. I had a family to reclaim, yes family. All of them are mine, I wouldn't let go without a fight. I have never been known to give up. Reeds don't give up without trying all their damn best.

Diana's Pov

I have grand children, that I never even knew about. How it happened I do not know because I was sure or at least that's what my son told me that he was impotent or sterile as the case may be. So how did not one but three children materialize outta thin air? This is a scandal waiting to happen. After the debacle with Lilith I felt we were done with it. At the end I don't mind whatever happens so long as I can meet my grandchildren. Ahhhhhhhh, am really a grandma, a dream come true. I need to speak with that errant son of mine. I need to know what is going on. As a matter of fact this calls for a family meeting, get it over and done with so we know our line of action, YES we must do everything to bring my grandbabies and their mother home.

Honey, have you spoken to Alfonzo? No, I am waiting to hear from him soon though, my men told me he went to visit that lady from the tv. So your guess is as good as mine that he's working on something, or isn't that why you were asking about him? Vincenzo! What are you insinuating? I am not, just stating facts, I know you like you know me and you're as usual nosy trying to know everything. We have to give him time to come to us because if what I suspect is true, it would be an uphill task to be able to meet with our grand children. Our son, your son has messed up real bad and I wonder how he botched up things so bad that that lady doesn't even want to hear anything from him concerning the children. Oh, now he's my son, not ours any more? I won't wait for you both, am going to meet my grandchildren and none of you bone head men would stand in my way, just you wait and see what I would do. You men always have a way of messing things up and dragging the whole family into your mess, but not this time. I won't be lumped into whatever shenanigans your son is trying to pull us into am going to make my stance clear to her, you can either join me or you sit there looking stiff like a statue. You can join the ancestors in their picture gallery then. Humph. She spun and stumped away. Vincenzo just stared after her wondering how he was added into the equation because it was their son who brought all this mess, so how did he do anything? N now I should join the gallery? Not on your life woman, not on your life. Am not dying anytime soon. I should move too before I really become a statue, damn woman and her tongue, always knew how to push someone with her words. Just wait till I get my hands on you tonight. First we have grand children to meet. I wonder how she's going to achieve that.

Alfonzo's pov

I spoke with Nikolas and he has been able to arrange a P.I to look into what happened years back both into Lilith and the three doctors. If I was going to have any hope of Stacy listening to anything I had to say, I had to give her proof of my innocence atleast. It still didn't excuse my behavior but she would be able to know why I reacted the way I did. I am already eating my words and I haven't even been able to get any way of seeing her atleast not to talk of the children. I would wait and be gathering my facts till I am given an opportunity to meet with her again. My appointment was denied a second time and am not surprised. I don't blame her either. I would do worse if I were her. I just wonder how she coped. She could have sued me all these years and made tons of money from the lawsuit. It made me have even more respect for her because the scandal alone might have finished my business not to talk of my family.
