Chapter 111
She then wondered who would have done all this. Then it dawned on her that it was no other person but Daniel. She wondered how he knew her apartment without her giving him the address but what did she expect? He is Daniel and he always knows things without being told.
She didn’t even know what to say as she was already speechless. She owes Daniel a big thank you. She quickly brought out her phone and called him.
“Lisa” Daniel’s voice echoed from the other side of the phone.
“Daniel, I saw what you did. You shouldn’t have but Thank you very much” Lisa said as she felt so grateful. At least the money she would have used in doing all this now, she’ll put into savings.
“It’s nothing. I just want you to be comfortable and happy that’s all” Daniel said and Lisa smiled to herself. Daniel was just too good to be true.
“I’ll call you later Lisa. I’m about to enter a meeting” Daniel said and ended the call. Lisa exhaled deeply as she sat on one of the couches in the sitting room. She felt so blessed to have Daniel in her life. She felt he was sent by God. Wherever she needed help he always came to her aid. He was God-sent.
****************
After Lisa had gotten home that evening, she and Ria had prepared dinner together. She went upstairs and took her bath. When she came back downstairs Daniel was already back and sitting at the dining table, Lisa joined him.
Lisa thanked him for what he did. Daniel on the other hand told her to stop thanking him. He did what he had to do.
He asked Lisa if she wanted to leave alone, he can assign Ria to go leave with her and do all the chores before she returns from work every day.
Lisa declined. She told him she would be able to do everything. Besides, it’s just her. Daniel was happy she was happy but it broke her heart she was going to be leaving tomorrow.
“You do not need to stress yourself, I’ll have Williams bring your other things to your apartment tomorrow. You can go home from work” Daniel said and Lisa nodded with her mouth filled with food.
She raised her head and saw the look on Daniel’s face. He wasn’t happy. She chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed it then drank water.
“Don’t worry I’m going to be coming here every now and then. And you can come to see me anytime alright” Lisa said as she placed her hands on his. Daniel nodded in response.
After they were both done eating, they both waved to each other a good night and went to their room. Immediately Lisa got to her room and lay tiredly on the bed. Just then she heard her phone ring.
It was a call from Dina. She smiled as she answered the call.
“Hello Dina,” Lisa says as she answered the phone call
“Hey, how are you, Lisa?” Dina’s voice sounded from the other side of the phone.
“I’m good. How about you? ” Lisa asked
“I’m okay. At least I’m able to walk now” Dina said and Lisa could sense the happiness in her voice.
“Aww, I’m so happy for you. I’m gonna come see you one of these times” Lisa said as she sat properly on her bed.
“I’ll come to visit you at your new apartment instead. Seems like you and Daniel had sorted things out” Dina said
“Yeah. I’m moving in tomorrow. Don’t worry when you come over I’ll tell you everything but not on phone alright” Lisa said and Dina scoffed
“Yes, dear. We are gonna spend the night there when we come to visit ” Dina said
“You are always welcome. How about Clara?” Lisa asked
“Oh, she’s fine. She’s asleep. Williams dropped by to visit her today. He wouldn’t let him go until he sang for her and she fell asleep. He just left” Dina said and Lisa smiled
“Clara got herself a new daddy. Seems she likes Williams a lot. What about you Dina? Do you like him?” Lisa asked
“What? Hell no!! Never ” Dina said and Lisa burst into laughter
“We will see then,” Lisa said in between laughter.
“Whatever. Good night. I’ll call you tomorrow, ” Dina said and ended the call.
Immediately she ended the call and placed the phone on her chest. She could feel her heart beating so fast.
Did she like Williams? She asked herself. The answer was yes she does. She finds herself liking him day by day because of how he makes her daughter happy.
She’s never seen her daughter this happy and comfortable with anyone and Williams was the first person. She sighed softly, she just hoped she was not falling for him already.
She remembered the night Clara approached her and told her she liked Williams and wished he was her daddy. She swallowed into nothing. Her mind drifted to Charles who was still in jail.
The memories of everything he’s done to her and her daughter came running into her head like flash. She loved Charles so much, he was such a calm, caring, soul but everything changed and he made life a living hell for her.
He hurt her and her baby. She would never make that mistake of letting another man come into her life again, not after what Charles did to her and Clara.
She dropped her phone on the chair she was sitting on. She stood up and walked inside Clara’s room, where she met her sleeping peacefully.
He moved towards her and sat beside her staring into her beautiful face. She remembered how Charles had burned Clara’s tender face that day. Her daughter cried hell, she was in damn pain. She had almost run mad that day.
She touched her daughter’s face which was now looking so smooth and the burns were gone. All thanks to Lisa she had paid for her surgery. She will forever be grateful.
