Through it All 💕

Falling Into place

She slide the keypad in her hand but was surprised to realize that gift has moved her stuff and checked out, picking up her phone, she dialed her number "Gift what's up?, where are you? " she asked worriedly over the phone.

"I don't need you been worried about me, I'm m on way already and you have just chooses the friend you want " She heard her accusing her.

"Come on Gift, you went too far, what has come over you, Rita is your sister and whatever happens, you have no right to hurt her like you did, I will rather stand with her at this time in her life than to take side with you "Celine pointed out to her meekly and hanged up.

Celine returned to her suite and packed up but before she could pick up her suit case to meet up with Rita , she saw Sandra call coming in on her phone screen "Babe what's up ?" she replied answering her phone.

"what the hell am I hearing, Rita been replaced by Gift as the CEO in their family's company, How did that happen".she heard Sandra questioning her over the question she honestly doesn't have an answer herself ". Babe honestly I don't know what's going on, I'm about checking out with Rita to return back, what ever happens I will update you, Thank you very much for everything " she hanged up after their call and walked out to meet up with Rita in the lobby .

Celine was absently trying to handle her luggage and her handbag that she didn't watch were she heading and bumped into someone, raising her head up to apologize, she was stunned to meet face to face with Stan.

"Hi.. Good morning Stan ". She found her voice and greeted calmly.

"Good morning Celine ,How are you doing ?" Stan replied with a calm smile.

"Am fine... Am very sorry for bumping into you, I was distracted ". Celine said coolly while trying to arrange her bag.

"What's this all over the News am hearing and where're you heading to? ". He inquired genuinely.

"Honestly I have no idea, we are checking out, we need to return back, there seems to be a mix up somehow and Rita got cut up in the midst of all this, thanks to your friend " .I replied Stan knowing full well he take the information to Derrick.

"Come on, Derrick will never hurt Rita, he really care about her and don't worry we will get this sorted out, Nobody messes with our babe and get away with it, Derrick is as worried about the whole thing and Rita has not been picking his call ".
Stan said sternly while staring down at her.

"Alright I really want to believe you but right now, Rita is all I care about, take care stan".walking past Stan she picked up her phone to call her private investigator.

"Mike I need you to do something for me, use every source at your disposal, find out who was involved in the link out concerning my friend and I want you to follow Gift and see what she's been up to, check out Sebastian Diego as well and Derrick, I want every information necessary about them, confirm their every connection " .she ordered and hanged up.

"Hey babe, what's up? " Turning around to see Rita walking down stairs.

"Are you ready for this? " Celine asked her friend calmly.

"Sure I'm ready, where's Gift? "

walking over to the reception to hand over my key cards .

"I'm sorry Rita but she left ". Celine answered her sadly.

"Oh, that's fine, let's go". I replied her masking my disappointment, I can't believe Gift will do this to me.. Us,
I loved and treated her like a sister, I guess she has her reason for what she did after all they are her true family.

Flight was short, I slept all the way not because I was tired but I was trying to avoid having a conversation with Celine so I pretended to dose off all through the flight, she suggested I stay in her apartment for few days before going back to my apartment, her driver came to pick us up from the airport.

Purple was Celine favorite color which is why her apartment was furnished and decorated with purple.

Driving to my parents house, I made the decision to confront them myself to hear what they have to say, I parked my car at the drive way and walked in through the front door, opening the door I was greeted by our house keeper, I asked Kerry if my mom was around and she informed me that she was in the office with my dad, I thanked her and walked over my room to arrange some of my wears, after an hour later, I was done so I decided to met them up, with a knock I walked into my dad's office.

"Good afternoon mom! ".I hugged her, holding back the tears in my eyes I greeted my father.

"Rita I'm sure you're aware that Gift has taken over the company position as the New CEO ?". He said looking into her eyes.

"Yes Dad, it's fine after all it's for the best but am afraid I will be Stay off the house for awhile and I won't be part of the company as well " .
Before I could finish mom spoke up.

"You can't do this honey, we will lose our daughter ".she said pleading with Dad, seeing her this helpless was hurting me deep down.

"Mom come on, you still have me, I just need time to deal with all this ".
A lie I know better because it will get worst.

"Of course, that's OK !" Dad answered sharply with a dull tune in his voice.

I hugged mom and walked out, our steward helped me to move my suit case to my car , taking one final glance at the house that holds all my childhood memories, I entered my car and drove off.

Life is not fair but every day we are faced with different challenges at different levels in our lives.

Derrick has been calling me since morning as well as sending me voice note apologizing for what happened with the promise of fixing things but honestly I wasn't emotional strong to deal with him right now, as much as I knew he's not the one responsible for this, who sent that picture has a strong motive to ruin my career but not this time, I still need to fix my life. I need to forget about powermart and start my life all over again, this time with a different me and New me .

I can't forget the life they gave me which am forever grateful for and no matter what happens, I still love them as my family.

Life can be so much tough sometimes and it takes the strongest to push through it all ..I might not be strong enough but I know got this.
