Stepping out of the car, she adjusted the black scarf around her face as she walked to the two storey building in front of her. It was dark and the whole place was as calm as a graveyard.

Walking to the door, she rang the bell. She stood for a few seconds waiting for the door to be opened. The door opened after a few seconds and she could see a plumpy short brown skin woman standing in front of the door, dressed in a pink coloured cotton dress.

"How may I help you, madam?" The lady asked immediately.

"Um..I'm.. I'm here to see the Thompsons," she replied.

"Oh, the whole family is in the backyard. They're throwing an engagement party," the lady revealed in excitement.

She forced a smile on her face and nodded.

"Um..okay, please take me to the backyard," she requested and the lady made a nod.

Walking to the backyard, she could hear slow music and voices coming from the garden which was all lit up that night. She could also see a few people moving to and fro at the garden. The air was per

    With her gaze settled on the floor, he stood in front of her with his sober eyes keenly staring at her body."Nat," he called softly.She remained silent with her gaze still on the floor."We need to talk," he said with a hoarse voice.She raised her head to look at his face and he swallowed hard as he saw her ever beautiful face which he had missed so much."Amos, there is nothing to talk about," she voiced out softly, her eyes looking into his alluring eyes."Nat..I have a lot to explain, just give me a chance," he pleaded.She sighed and made a slow nod."Just this one chance," she muttered.He walked beside her to her car and they both stepped into the car. There was a brief moment of silence and he took a slow glance at her face."I don't even know where to start from," he muttered softly.She gulped and removed the scarf from her face."You can start by explaining the reason you left even when you had promised to stay, or, the reason you came into Nigeria without bothering to che

    It was all black as the mansion bustled with people moving to and fro that night. The anniversary had just concluded and people were already leaving for their homes except for a few family and friends. Dressed in a black long velvet dress, she walked down the stairs towards the boys who were drinking around a table at one side of the foyer and she smiled as Amos winked at her.He stood up from the table as he caught sight of her and he walked towards her."Nat, you're overworking yourself and you need to rest. What else do you need? Let me help you out," he requested, seeing the anxiety written all over her face.She smiled wryly as she looked at his handsome face. He was donned in a black suit which fitted him perfectly."I'm fine, I just need you to help Adrian," she said, looking at where Adrian was standing, discussing with a few men."Adrian is doing just fine, he is getting back on his feet slowly," he said with excitement."I know. I just want you guys to invite him over to yo

    Tiptoeing into the living room, she bumped into Mary who was cleaning the room. Mary laughed as she saw her frozen for a moment with anxiety written all over her face."Sir Adrian is in his room," she said with a smile."Aw..thank goodness. Where is baby Junior? I thought Madison slept over?" She asked, dropping her shoes on the floor."Oh, yes, she just left here with Sir Jason and the others," Mary replied. "Baby Junior is with his granny upstairs," she added."Oh, Mrs Bimpe is still around? That's a little relief for me. Junior is becoming a menace these days and coping with him is quite demanding," she lamented as she walked to the stairs."What do you expect from an active toddler?" Mary asked with a smile and they both laughed."Did sir Adrian suspect anything? Like, my absence?" She asked as she stopped with one foot on the staircase."Um..I don't really know. He didn't ask us about you," she replied.She took a deep breath and nodded before walking up the stairs. Walking into t

    She tried to maintain a calm composure as she waved over to Amos who was walking in her direction. "Hey," he called, walking closer to her as he placed his phone in his right pocket. He was dressed in a casual white round neck top and black chinos pants."Hi," she greeted nervously."Come over here, big boy," he urged the baby who was struggling to break free from Natasha's arms."How are you both enjoying your day?" He asked, placing the baby in his arms."We're..um..doing great!" She said, trying to conceal the excitement on her face.He paused for a moment, giving her a surprised look. She smiled sheepishly and he looked away. Right now, she felt like ending this outing immediately so she could go tell Madison about Alex's presence.But she needed to act cool, she needed to be cool for Amos not to suspect anything, she thought."I'm sorry for taking so long. Jason rebranded and we needed to put a lot of things together in his new place," he said, walking over to the trees."Oh.. I'

    She paced around the room, waiting for Madison's arrival. She picked up the piece of paper on the bed and looked at the contact written boldly in it. A thought struck her and she picked up her phone immediately.She breathed a sigh of relief as the phone rang and she could now believe the person she had seen at the park wasn't a ghost."Nat," Alex's voice sounded in whispers through the phone."Alex!" She called with excitement, running into the bathroom to avoid being heard."Nat.. I'm glad you called," Alex said from the phone."Oh, I thought it was all a nightmare, but speaking to you right now has made everything real," she said with a smile."Thank you, Nat. How is my baby?" She asked immediately."He is doing great," she replied."And Adrian?" She asked again."They're both great. Madison is yet to arrive. I gave her a call earlier," she said."Oh..um..do you think it's wise to let Madison in at the moment?" Alex asked."I don't think so; she has just been engaged to Jason and I

    MATEO STEEL'S MANSION. Walking to the balcony, she stood for a moment, staring at the beautiful surroundings as the warm breeze blew across her face. Things were going as planned and she had moved back into the mansion in order to form a bond with her mother. The only problem right now was Adrian who was mad by her returning back to her father's mansion and he has also planned to take their father away from the mansion to get better healthcare.If only he'll be able to cooperate, then the plans to get Amelia would move on smoothly, she thought.She looked at her phone in search of missed calls from Amos but she could see none. What's wrong? She thought as she scrolled through her phone. She had been too proud to give him a call but right now, she was losing that pride and she needed to give him a call at once.The call was answered after the second ring and his grumpy voice sounded from the phone."Hey, are you sleeping at this time of the day?" She asked, pushing back her hair."Yes.

    Their eyes locked and her heartbeat increased as she shook her head slowly with her mouth agape."I know, Natasha, these are part of the symptoms," he pointed out."No..um, I'm not pregnant, I'm fine! The stench smell of alcohol in this room is driving me nuts," she lied as she chuckled while walking closer to him.She stopped as she saw his countenance become mean and she held her breath for a second."You should visit the hospital," he said in a commanding tone."Adrian, I'm fine, I don't need a check-up!" She explained."I insist!" He yelled."What is it, Adrian?! You can't tell me how to run my life! And what if I'm pregnant, uh? You'll scold me like a teenage girl who got pregnant out of wedlock?!" She asked angrily.He chuckled and looked into her eyes."I won't scold you, but it should better not be what I'm thinking," he said with a smirk before walking out of the bathroom.Her heart cringed at his words and she hastened out of his room immediately. She headed to her room and

    There was a moment of silence as his face turned pale and his jaws stiffened as he stared at her face, looking dumbfounded."You can't be pregnant,..no..Tasha..you must be joking," he scoffed, jiggling his head as he took a step back away from her."I can't be pregnant? Was I barren when you met me? Or does it mean your middle leg is infertile?" She snapped."You better think of a way to tell this to my brother," she added."Now, that's the problem. How do I break this to your ruthless brother and father?!" He slammed."None of my business, I wasn't there when you were busy chasing after his wife. Are you planning to reject this pregnancy? You can't reject a billionaire's grandbaby and you know it," she said with a smirk.He heaved a sigh and scratched the back of his head."If I take responsibility for this, I'll die. If I don't, I'll still die anyway. So why take responsibility for something I'll end up dying for anyway?" He blurted and her eyes bulged.His words broke her heart dee

    He smiled, looking at his handsome self in the mirror. He was donned handsomely in a royal blue suit and black bowtie which suited him perfectly."Have you heard from the ladies?" He asked the boys who were dressing up in the room."Oh, yes. I called Chelsea, and Natasha is almost ready," Ben replied as he helped hang the wristwatch around his wrist."We don't wanna be late, everyone, hurry up!" Derrick urged, clapping his hands.The door opened and Mrs Eno stepped into the room, fully dressed in her blue traditional George fabric."Nosa, you don't want to keep the bride waiting," she snapped from the door."I'm almost done," he said."Your father's kinsmen are in Lagos already. We need to hurry up because I'll be going to the reception hall to welcome them just after we leave the court," she replied."I'm done," he said, looking at his wristwatch and it was 7:55 am. The boys began to hail him as they all walked out of the room and they danced towards the beautifully decorated cars in

    Walking out of the boardroom, his face was all smiles as he shook hands with the men and women at the door."Congrats, sir. And another big congratulations for your wedding tomorrow," some of the men said to him as they all shook hands with him firmly.He couldn't believe he'll one day stand in front of nobles, men and women whom he couldn't even say 'hi' to in the past.He smiled warmly, seeing his former colleagues staring at him from a distance. He is their boss now, not just their boss, but the CEO of the company. He could see Daren and Marvin turning away to walk into their offices and he knew they were probably feeling timid because of his new position in the company."Hey," he called, walking to meet them.They both stopped and looked at him in surprise."Why are you guys avoiding me?" He asked with a smile."No, we..um.. you're our boss now and you demand a high level of respect," Daren said to him."You think I'm going to change because of my elevated level?" He asked but they

    "I had my doubts when Amos claimed to be attacked by you at the night when he caught you with Kemi at the club. But I never wanted to believe that you're still cheating on me with Kemi," she said with a sad smile."You know, if you had cheated with someone else, it wouldn't have hurt this deep. You cheated and plotted with the same woman I called my best friend!" She yelled and Amos urged her to be calm."That same day you invited me to your hotel room, on my way out, I saw Kemi's car leaving the hotel premises. She was there with you, Kelvin! She was there!" She yelled."Baby, be calm," Amos urged while patting her shoulders.She sniffed and shook her head in disbelief."Nat.. I'm sorry," Kelvin cried."No, you'll never be sorry!" She snapped.She gulped and waved back her hair."On my way home, I got lost in thoughts, you know, I was beginning to sink into a mental depression and then the accident happened. I wasn't hurt nor did I even attain a scratch because my car was so protecti

    The hall turned into chaos as Adrian and Kelvin fought on the floor while the men tried to separate them."Natasha!!" Madison and Alex exclaimed in unison as they ran to the floor where she was seated, gasping for breath.They helped her up from the floor as the chaos continues and Mr Ajebade and his kinsmen could be seen, pleading with Mateo Steel."Are you alright? Take a deep breath," Alex said, patting her shoulders tenderly."Yes.. I'm alright..," she panted with her hand holding her chest.Just then, Amos and the boys could be seen, rushing into the hall like mad people. Without looking in her direction, he surged towards Kelvin who was trying to break free from Adrian's grips and he began to deal him with blows on the floor."They're killing my son!!" Mrs Ajebade cried as she rushed towards them.Adrian stood up immediately and turned his vicious bloodshot eyes towards her."And you," he said sinisterly and she began to retreat backwards immediately.Before he could speak, she

    The music kept on playing and Natasha and the women moved slowly to the stage while the pandemonium continued."Sola, don't do this to us!" Mrs Eno cried as the men pushed her away violently."Don't touch my mother! Don't touch my mother!" Amos yelled, pushing the men vigorously and they landed him on the floor while his friends tried to fight back.He stood up from the floor immediately and tried to run past the men blocking their paths from the stage."Natasha!!" He cried out loud.She heard his voice and she stopped one more time."Keep going, don't let him be a distraction to you!" Madison snapped and she kept on walking slowly in the midst of the women.Adrian and his men rushed to the scene and he could see the heavily built men engaging Amos and his family."Stop!" He yelled at the men and they all retreated.He began to pant heavily and his angry eyes turned to Amos and his friends who were panting heavily in front of him."How dare you, Amos? How dare you bring your family to

    At the entrance of the glamorous splendidly designed reception hall, a pandemonium could be seen heating up between Amos and his family who were trying to find their way past the entrance but were stopped by the heavily built Bouncers."I didn't come here for any nonsense party! I want to see Sola and my grandchild!" Mrs Eno barked while tying her cloth firmly around her waist.Her two daughters could be seen, trying to make her calm but all to no avail."You guys know who we are to the bride?! How dare you stop us from gaining entrance?!" Amos barked, taking his transparent glasses off."Mr man, this is an order from above! Besides, you weren't granted a pass. You all have to leave before we handle with you mercilessly!" One of the men growled in front of him."Deal with my son?! Deal with who?!" Mrs Eno yelled, rushing towards them but her son pulled her back.Just then, Jason and his friends were seen, walking towards them."What's going on?" They all asked in confusion."They've r

    Her finger caressed the sharp blade of the flint knife she was holding as she sat on the bed with her gloomy face looking down at the floor in despair.She had been a tool in the hands of Kelvin and his family and she couldn't believe this was the same man who would soon become her baby's daddy. She sniffed and wiped the tears that trickled down her cheek. She won't let him know of the pregnancy, and by the time she is done with him, she'll travel out to a distant country and then inform his family about their grandchild and how she had murdered their son. By then, it would have been too late to get hold of her, she thought with a smirk.Now she understands what it means to be betrayed by the people you love. This was the same way Natasha had felt when she had betrayed her trust by sleeping with Kelvin. It's too late to turn back now, she thought as she let out a sigh and stood up from the bed.She heard a knock on the door and she knew he was right there at the door. She hid the flin

    "Ouch, Kelvin you're so sweet," she cried in ecstasy as he pulled away from her and fell to the other side of the bed.She smiled broadly as she dragged the duvet over their unclad sweaty bodies and he spread his arms across her shoulders."How do we keep having sex after the wedding?" He asked amidst pants."There is no way I'm coming here with Natasha around here. The last experience was terrible; I almost broke a limb," she complained and he laughed."We're going to meet in a private hotel room. You know, after the wedding, we've got to be careful so her family doesn't hear about our affair," he said."Hmm, I just can't wait for this to be over so we'll travel out of the country together," she said with pouty lips."Babe, you know, my mother was so happy to know that Natasha agreed to a traditional wedding. The divorce is going to be so easy, no paper binding us together by law," he said with a smirk and she chuckled."But I still prefer we get rid of her because her family would be

Natasha smiled wryly, swaying back and front as the female designers adjusted the dress on her body which suited her perfectly."It's gorgeous," Alex complimented from the bed where she sat, arranging the coral beads on the bed."Is Jason done with Kelvin's attire?" Natasha asked."I think so. It'll be delivered the day after tomorrow," Madison replied. "You can take it off now, she's done with the fitting. Thank you ladies for a job well done," Alex said to the ladies."I'm so exhausted right now," Natasha lamented as the ladies took off the dress and she sat on the bed while rubbing her tummy."He's almost due," she said to Alex and Madison as soon as the ladies were out of the room."Did you hear from Amos?" Madison asked, packing up the expensive jewelry on the bed."Not really. He hasn't called since the last time we we
