The rain kept pouring down. It appeared it wasn’t going to stop raining that night.


    Then thunderbolts followed. It came along with a heavy storm and no one was able to leave.


    E couldn’t return to Alex Mansion and Greg couldn’t leave as well. Greg insisted he was going to leave despite the storm but E wouldn’t let him go.


    Instead, she prepared the guest room for him. She told him he would pass the night with them rather than taking a risk and going out on such a stormy night.


    If anything happens to him, she would not be able to forgive herself. After much pressure, Greg reluctantly agreed to spend the night there.


    E and Rosa stayed in the sitting room, talking for a while. Rosa asked her if she found happiness with Alex and would she be more than willing to get divorced with him if she had the opportunity?


    E said her marriage with Alex was a perfect one. She is happy with the union but she wished it was indeed what it should be.


    She told Rosa that Alex Foster isn’t a terrible man like everyone thought he was. He is easy going and loving when one gets close to him.


    Rosa in turn said the only thing she’s observed is that Mr Foster doesn’t have any womaning to his office anymore.


    He hardly goes for lunch, and when he does, he is in thepany of his assistant or his friend Festus.


    Otherwise, he has his lunch ordered for and delivered to his office. His temperament wasn’t that bad anymore.


    While the storm was so high and everyone was indoor, Alex Foster had arrived and was in his sitting room.


    He had arrived shortly before the rain started. He was worried when he found out that E wasn’t home yet.


    He was eager to return home and see her. His stay from home was very ufortable because he felt a part of him was empty.


    He longed to see E. He had hastened his work there and returned home but E was not home. He remained seated, waiting for her toe.


    He called Khalid that night and asked him wherest he drove his wife to? Thetter was surprised that the boss asked him such a question.


    He knew he had been away for a long time now and Mrs Foster had hardly gone out except when it’s necessary.


    Anyways, he told his boss that he’d take her to her mother’s ce and was supposed to wait for her call so he could go back to bring her home.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Alex Foster asked him to send him the home address of E’s mother.


    Alex ended up waiting the entire night. The storm was much and he guessed she couldn’t return home because of it.


    The next morning, he got dressed and went to find his wife. The time he left home was so early that without doubt, he would be the one to wake E up.


    Sarah was the one who went to get the door when the doorbell rang. She wondered who hade to find her so early in the morning.


    Her daughter spent the night with her after many months and she wanted to impress her with a sumptuous breakfast.


    She peeped through the cat hole and was dazed when she saw the fellow at the door. Mr Foster, at her door so early?


    She momentarily looked panicked. This man, she disliked because of the way he treated her daughter in the past.


    But besides that, she doesn’t hold any grudge against him. He once saved her life and for that, she’s grateful to him.


    She looked back, no one was awake yet. She shrugged and opened the door. She came face to face with the man who married her daughter, her son inw if she’s to put it rightly.


    The two adults looked at each other and Alex smiled. Sarah also had a faint smile on and stepped aside for him to get in.


    “Good morning Ms Sarah” Alex Foster greeted, one of his hands in his pants pocket and the other by his side.


    “Good morning Mr Foster. Nice meeting you” Sarah said. She looked him up to his toes. She must agree that the guy is handsome and charming.


    “My pleasure,” Alex replied. “I’m sorry I am meeting you officially as your son inw for the first time. That’s bad of me.


    But I promise to see you more often henceforth”Alex apologised, this time sping his hands together humbly.


    Sarah was impressed. Wasn’t this fellow rumoured to be arrogant and have no regards for others?


    But she sees him as a humble man. His facial expression was cool and void of haughtiness.


    “It’s okay. You are always wee” Sarah said and gestured for him to take a seat.


    He thanked Sarah and said he would prefer to remain standing. “How do you feel now Ms Sarah” Alex was concerned.


    Sarah smiled broadly. “I am perfectly fine now. Thank you for saving my life back then. I have another chance to live because you made it happen” Sarah appreciated.


    Though she once detested this fellow and even urged her daughter to pay him off and get divorced. She can’t hide the fact that he once did her well.


    E was right when she refused to divorce him. She’s just meeting him and already likes him. There’s no way she would let her daughter divorce him again.


    “No, Ms Sarah, you should thank your daughter. You have an amazing daughter who loves you more than anything else in this world.


    She was the one who saved your life. E is an angel and I know it’s because her mother is one as well” Alex replied, bowing slightly.


    For a few seconds, Sarah couldn’t say anything. Her eyes were moist and she felt happy meeting this man first in the morning.


    He was still the man who said horrible words at E back then? She can’t imagine he was the same man.


    She nodded and smiled through moist eyes. He said E is an angel and she was one too. Such good words heal her distorted opinion she had about him.


    “Thank you” Sarah said and was going when Alex added “I’m sorry how I treated E in the past” then he looked away.


    Sarah stared at him and sighed softly. “I’ll inform her that you are here to fetch her home” she said and walked away.


    Just as Sarah disappeared through the stairs, Greg emerged from the guest room. He had to leave so soon. He knew E and Sarah would want to persuade him to have breakfast.


    So, he had to leave early enough. When he got into the sitting room, he was spellbound when he saw Alex Foster standing with his hands in his pants pocket.
