He laid on the couch with his arm across his head as he watched the boys play video games in his apartment that afternoon. In the house with him was Ben, Derrick and Chris who were all making loud noises as they argued over the game.He sighed and looked away from them. Nothing seemed to interest him these days and he knew where the problem lies. He had hurt Natasha and right now, he felt regret for reacting so rash to the news of her pregnancy.She wouldn't give him rooms to speak any further and she had black listed his line so he couldn't reach her anymore. If only she could understand how scared he was to have a baby. Would he be a good father? Would he be able to stay committed if they both ever get married? He thought as he heaved a sigh.She was right about him. Adrian is not the only problem he was having. The real problem is himself; how to take up responsibilities. He was still deep in thoughts when his phone rang. He picked up the phone from the floor and he sighed, seeing
Their giggles could be heard as they both danced excitedly to the music. "I never knew my brother was such a good dancer," she remarked as he spinned her round."Alex taught me how to be a good dancer," he said with a smile.She stopped dancing for a moment and she looked deep into his eyes to see the emotions written all over them. If only he knew what was in-store for him, she thought as she took his hands again.Just then, they both turned as they saw Amos hastening to meet them with baby Junior. She made a surprised face and tucked her hair behind her ears.He stood for a moment, staring at them and he looked at the baby who had stopped crying."Any problem?" Adrian asked calmly."Um..he..he was crying," he stammered."But he looks so calm on the outside," Adrian said with a smile."He..he was literally crying before we got here. Junior..," he called nervously as he looked at the baby who was paying no attention to him."Come over here," Natasha heaved a sigh as she took the baby
Mateo's testimony threw the court into an uproar and she couldn't help but smile as her eyes met with her mother who was staring at her in utter dismay. She could hear murmurings amongst the boys and she knew they must all be surprised about Mateo being hale and hearty when everyone thought he was still on his sickbed.She looked at Amos and he pulled a surprised face like one demanding an explanation. Her eyes met with Madison and she smiled. They should wait for the bigger surprise, she said to herself as she looked away from Madison.She could hear the prosecution lawyer requesting to bring in another witness which drew everyone's interest."What other witness? Isn't father the only witness we have for now?" Adrian asked in surprise, staring at her face."Be calm,.brother," she urged as she patted his shoulders."I present to you all, Mrs Alex's Steel," the prosecution lawyer announced and there was an uproar in court as everyone rose to their feet immediately."What is he talking
His jaws stiffened, seeing them locked in a warm embrace. He gritted his teeth in anger, wondering why Kelvin would show up at such a time. He watched them converse with their hands together and he couldn't bear the sight any longer. Turning around, he walked away instantly.Her face beamed with a smile seeing his handsome face staring at her face."I thought you left for good," she said with a smile as she looked deep into his eyes."I'm so sorry, Nat, I've been so busy. I was trying all my best to reach you while I was out of the country. The network over there is quite poor," Kelvin explained."Where did you go?" She asked in surprise."I traveled to Kenya for my dad's upcoming campaign. We spoke with one Mr Ajul who is a Nigerian, but lives in Kenya. He's a big fish in politics and he has promised to help my dad," he related."Oh, um..your dad's political campaign is around the corner," she said with a smile and he nodded."I'm so sorry for not keeping in touch. I arrived in Niger
Their eyes bulged as they saw Alex walking to meet them. She was wearing a white nightie and her face beamed with a smile as she caught sight of them."Alex," they both called.She smiled and took the baby from Natasha. He was asleep already and she made him rest on her shoulder."What?" She asked as she saw the anxious look on their faces."I checked on you in your room but there was no response," she said to her."Look who wants to ruin her brother's beautiful moment," Alex said with a chuckle and they both smiled wryly."What's wrong?" She asked, looking at their nervous faces."We are planning to tell Adrian about the pregnancy tonight," Amos revealed."Opps!" She exclaimed."Whatever way, he has to know. We really need to tell him now that he is still in a happy mood. Inform the boys, and we will make it appealing to him," she added and they both nodded.Watching Alex walk to the garden, they both trailed behind her slowly. Stepping into the garden, they were welcomed by the cheer
She watched Alex arrange the dishes on the dining table that morning with Adrian right beside her, helping her out. The house was a bit calm as everyone had dispersed for their various homes that morning."So, you actually thought it was wise to reject Amos as a mate?" Adrian asked, wiping his hand with a napkin."I can't stand him, brother, he's a coward. I'm better off alone," she said, licking her Orange."You know, it's not as easy as you thought. We both know Amos and marriage is far from his thoughts right now, and that's the reason I warned you about him," Alex said with a smile."You actually wanted me to be with him," she cut in."What!" Adrian exclaimed, turning to look at them."No..no.. you're mistaken. Come on, I wanted Kelvin out of the picture because of what he did to you, and that's the reason I wanted Amos in your life at that moment," Alex defended."A lot took place while I was abroad, right?" Adrian asked, taking his seat."I can't marry Amos, I'll raise the baby
"This is a joke, right? You're going to marry Kelvin?!" Alex's eyes bulged as she looked at the couch where Natasha was sitting with her legs crossed stylishly."It would save me a lot, it would save my family's reputation from humiliation," she said with a sigh.Alex scoffed and placed her arms akimbo."You weren't bothered about your family's reputation when you thought of raising the baby alone; what changed now?" She asked in surprise."Alex, Kelvin's love for me is sincere," she said softly with her gaze on the floor."And your love for him?" She asked.She didn't reply and she kept on counting her fingers slowly."You love Amos, don't you?" Alex continued."I can't love a man that pushed me out with my baby! You can imagine the pain he caused me by his actions!" She cried out loud."No man is perfect! No one is perfect including you! You've made bad decisions that hurt Amos in the past and he didn't take it to be the end of the road for you both," Alex explained, walking to the c
She sobbed silently as Alex massaged her feet with her head resting on a pillow. "It's going to be alright. You don't expect Amos to act so cool with the news at first," Alex consoled while massaging her feet gently."He never wanted the baby, did he? Now look at all the embarrassment he's caused me. I pray Adrian doesn't see the news," she cried from the bed.The door flung open instantly and Adrian showed up in the room, wearing his usual black suit and tie with his face brewing fire and brimstone."Hon..honey..," Alex cried, standing up right."I need you to explain this, Natasha!" He slammed, throwing his phone to the bed where she sat, wiping off her tears.She picked up the phone and saw the news which had bursted the internet that night about the fight at the restaurant."Honey, we can't blame Nat for this. Amos overreacted," Alex explained calmly as she took hold of Adrian's arms."And why didn't you let me in? You think situations like this could be handled trouble-free?" He
