Chapter 126


    Thalia’s Pov


    After Josh and Scarlett’s wedding, we flew straight to the beach house. I guess seeing Josh happy and


    finding the love of his life brought so many memories of Brandon. If I said I was not jealous then I was


    lying. I was dead jealous, in fact, I never wanted to attend but Scarlet was such a nice person after I


    met her so I could note up with an excuse not to attend.


    Nestor was Josh’s best man, they were not that close but Josh had no one to ask so he asked Nestor. I


    never objected because it was not my ce.


    Yes Brandon would be p*sssed and Nestor would have gotten fired over and over again but we were


    living in a new chapter. Overall the wedding was spectacr, I wished the couple the best in their


    marriage and their future but I wanted to be with Brandon.


    I had been busy the past five months, rarely having time for Kendra because I was tackling two


    I made it in a way that I couldy in it too and wrap my hands around him. Dr. Wilson never approved


    of it but it was not like he was susceptible to infection or I was contagious. I always disinfected myself


    before I got in.


    Sometimes I ced Kendra with me inside. I wanted her to familiarize herself with him. I promised him


    that she was never going to forget him no matter how many years passed and that was what I was


    fulfilling.


    I used to videotape Kendra’s life for him toe and watch. She was now crawling and saying some


    baby words. I got everything on videotape. He was never going to miss any little detail of his daughter’s


    life. Her first word, first fall, first school. I was going to document without fail.


    Everyone around me had their cameras ready to contribute to the video archive that I was creating.


    Even Josh and Scarlet helped in the videos especially since Kendra spent some days at their house.


    After they sent me the videos I couldpile them and arrange them in chronological order. Brandon


    was never going to miss anything. All I could hope for was Dr. Willson not to fail me. I was counting on


    him, he owed Brandon and he needed to hurry up before Brandon missed everything in Kendra’s life.


    I sat there gossiping to him about Josh and Scarlet’s wedding to every detail. I could only imagine the


    foulments he would pass. Maybe even ruined the day or something or he would have been in the


    forefront making sure the day happened and shipped them to a far ce for their honeymoon where he


    would have left them stranded. That was Brandon, wicked in a cute way.


    A tear dropped, I missed him so much, I missed being shocked at his ns and wondering if he was


    normal upstairs. I missed him coughing at me, I missed hearing him firing Nestor thousands of times.


    I missed his jealous nature, always jumping to conclusions and thinking Nestor and I were having an


    affair. He even hid Josh’s sperm thinking, Josh and I were going to end up being lovers and have more


    babies. I chuckled just thinking about that.


    I missed everything about him, and what was sad about everything was the fact we never even got to


    be intimate. He won the bet but never imed it for reasons known to himself. If only I could turn the


    clock back and fall for his advances.


    What if we had followed Nestor’s advice and not gone ahead with our revenge? Maybe he and I would


    have be a couple in the early days or months. But would he have lived that long? Would he have


    had a will to live if he was not looking forward to seeing Josh on his knees or Kendra’s beautiful face?


    There were a lot of factors in revenge that gave him the will to fight.


    I felt a hand behind my back and looked up, it was Nestor. I had thought he had gone back to have fun


    with one of the bridesmaids but that was not to be. He was really boring, no wonder Brandon thought


    he was gay or something.


    “Kendra needs to sleep,” he said.


    I looked at myp and found her fast asleep. “Oooh, I did not notice,” I said as he picked her up and


    took her to her little bed. She was turning one in some weeks, she had grown and was no longer


    troublesome when it came to sleeping.


    He walked back after he had tucked her in and sat beside me. Unlike what Brandon had predicted,


    Nestor and I got along so well. Maybe it was because there was no Brandon to fight over or impress.


    He respected my decisions and when I was wrong he politely corrected me and I also respected his


    opinions and trusted him with my life. He usually dealt with the Mandel businesses, even though he


    had no qualifications but he was good at it through watching and paying attention to Brandon.


    Most of the time I learned a lot from him. Inc Biotech was my baby and I brought back all the directors


    that were loyal to my father that Josh and his s*upid father got rid of. We were taking baby steps at the


    time but the FRASER 2021i was the most happening medical breakthrough in the country.


    It was responding to a lot of cancers, it was better than chemotherapy and most patients were opting


    for it. My face was all over billboard magazines and newspapers. I guess I was famous. My father was


    proud of me wherever he was. To be honest, I was not happy, everyone around me noticed that.


    How could I be when the s*upid machine failed to work on the person that I created it for. Yes, I was


    being selfish but it broke my heart that a lot of families got their second chance while my man was in a


    s*upida.


    “Do you think he hears us?” Nestor snapped me out of my thoughts.


    “Yes he does, of course, he hears us,” I replied.


    “Then, I will have to confess about being Josh’s best man. Hope when you wake up you take it easy on


    me,” he pleaded.


    We both became quiet like we were waiting for him to get up and go crazy on us but it was quiet. Too


    quiet, he just slept there not even minding a brink.


    “The doctor will soon find the cure, very soon,” Nestor added when he noted I was crying.


    I only nodded my head but that cure never came, a year passed, another year passed and a total


    number of five years passed altogether. I turned thirty years old while Kendra turned Five years but


    Brandon was still in that capsule and the doctor was nowhere near the s*upid cure.


    My daughter was already in Kindergarten and Brandon missed part of her life, of course, Josh was


    there. He was not a bad father, he was a very good father, I could notin but I also wanted my


    Brandon to be there but he was not. He never got to have that chance. But Kendra knew him, I made


    sure she knew she had two fathers one was Josh while the other one was Brandon.


    I would take her to the beach house, she loved the beach house though I never told her why it was


    built. At first, she would ask a lot of questions as to why her other daddy was asleep.


    I tried my best to exin in simplified ways but that only led to more questions but I loved it when she


    asked questions about him. She was fascinated by the capsule in which hey and always requested


    to sleep with him in it.


    She once asked me what I did when I was with him in the capsule so I told her,  I told him secrets that I


    did not want other people to know. She picked that up and always requested me to leave the room so


    that she could tell Brandon every secret she had. I had no idea what secrets she had at her age but I


    was thankful that she trusted him with her secrets. Though Brandon was asleep he was part of her life.


    In that same year, Scarlett got inseminated with Josh’s sperm and the two were expecting their first


    child together. I was so happy for them and for an unknown reason we became so close, too close.


    They were always at my house and every time I was free I was at theirs. I did not have many friends


    except for Nestor, Maggie, and her boyfriend who were still going strong. But it was them who were


    usually at my ce, trying to cheer me on or something. I understood they thought I was lonely but, to


    be honest I was very envious of them.

    They had a perfect family while my other half was in aa. They were good people, Josh had turned


    out to be a good man, his father was the one who was a bad influence on him. Scarlet shaped him into


    a loving father but I was envious he got a happy ending while I was still waiting for mine.


    And I had no idea if I was the one who was overthinking or not but recently they were bringing one of


    their male friends over to my house a lot. His name was Paul, he was a nice guy and they always made


    sure he sat next to me. At first, I did not think of it much but then Nestor brought it up when I was alone


    with him.


    Josh and Scarlet were trying to set me up with a man, he had told me. I was so p*ssed, they were both


    aware of Brandon but they were trying to make me cheat on him. Being a very sessful rich scientist/


    inventor I was receiving a lot of proposals from handsome men in the corporate world but I used to turn


    them all away because I was waiting for my Brandon, a man that gave me a second chance at life and


    left me all his wealth. I was not going to betray him, and neither was I ever going to give up on him.


    Without thinking I stormed into their house without knocking and yelled at them to f*ck off my private


    life. They had no right, it was only five years and I was not going to give up.


    “Thalia, we were only trying to help,” Scarlet tried calming me down.


    “Did I say that I needed your help? I have a boyfriend and his name is Brandon!” I yelled at her.


    “We all think that you should let him go, he would want you to find someone and live your life,” Josh cut


    in.


    The audacity made me clench my body, he was out of his jurisdiction and had no right, no right.


    “What do you mean by us? Who are these we?”


    “Maggie and Wilfred also think that it is time, Brandon’s condition is one of those that do not have a


    cure, you have to ept that!” he snapped and yelled at me. Scarlet quickly held his hand.


    “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to yell but what I’m saying is that it is not healthy for you and Kendra…”


    “Josh watch whates out of your mouth next,” I warned him while pointing a finger at him. “We have


    “Thalia?”


    “Don’t, let me make one thing clear, I will never give up on Brandon and neither is Kendra. If people


    can not respect that then they should not be my friend,” I said and stormed out crying. I drove back to


    the house and woke up Kendra who was asleep.


    “Mummy, where are we going?” she asked


    “To the ce where I first met your father?” I replied.


    “Which one?”


    “The sleeping beauty,” I replied with a smile.


    We drove in the middle of the night to the infamous bridge. I had hired a constructionpany and


    they had renovated the bridge which made it safe for Kendra and me to sit there. She liked it and was


    not scared that it was dark or that it was a long way down. I used to go there alone but it was time for


    Kendra to know the ce.


    We both said a prayer for Brandon as we just sat there and watched the sunrise gather. It was the first


    time she was seeing it and she was very excited and jumping. I had to calm her down. My phone kept


    ringing, Nestor, Josh, and Maggie kept calling me but I ignored their calls. I did not want to talk to any


    of them. How dare they think it was time for Brandon to go.


    After another hour I noticed Kendra was very tired so I drove back home. I found the house fully


    packed, they all thought I had run off with my daughter or something.


    “Thalia you scared us,”


    “Brandon is still at the beach house, where do you think I would go without him,” I replied, handing


    Kendra to Maggie.


    “We are sorry Thalia, it was not in our ce,” Josh apologized. I only nodded and folded my arms.


    “We are very sorry, we just wanted you to have a full life,” Scarlet added.


    They asked for forgiveness, the only person waiting patiently like me was Nestor. At least two people


    did not lose hope… ooh three people, together with Kendra.
