He left. He finally left. I groaned as I slid into the floor, wallowing in the self pity that was taking over me. Alex. Alex was not mine. He would never be mine.
"Sola?" Amina whispered as she reached me.
I quickly turned backwards and tried as much as possible to clean the tears that had flown down my face.
"Is my baby asleep yet?" I asked in a shaky voice.
"No. He said he will wait for his mom and dad to come out him to sleep." Amina whispered in a silent, sad voice.
I tried to gulp as the horrible feeling washed through me. I stared at Amina and realized that she must have known that I had finally sent Alex away.
"Amina.. I..."
"It's okay, love. You can let it all out. I'm right here with you." She mumbled as she moved in

*Sola*SCORE ONE for state-run hospitals, was all I could think of as we arrived. Kalu kept trying to calm down his heavily pregnant wife as she walked around impatiently. We were still standing at the reception, waiting for the nurse to admit our identity and take us to where Alex and his friend, Ekene was. Fayo had also spoken to their mom and dad a few minutes ago...And they'd said they would be there first thing in the morning. I hadn't been able to calm my nerves at the thought of meeting with Alex's parents for the first time. Fayo noticed too. "Don't worry, Sola. My parents are unproblematic people. They won't give you issues as long as you don't give them." "But.. But Fayo... They'll blame me! I'm the cause of all this. If I hadn't stupidly told him to get out...""Just calm down, Sola. Mistakes happen. I just hope

*Alex*Everything was bright. Too bright. It clouded my vision, making it impossible to point out my surroundings. I tried to take in a dry breath, but I couldn't. My throat couldn't function. There was an insistent pounding in my head. And I couldn't stop it. Everywhere was so bright, yet so dark. I tried to speak, but realized I couldn't find my voice. Everything was so frustrating. Am I dead? Then I heard that soft, tiny voice. It swept into my head like a breath of fresh air, making my body relax instantly. It was like the voice controlled my mind."I love you Alex! I'm so sorry!" The voice whispered so softly that it was like a haze through my mind.I knew who it was even as my mind was scattered and confused.Sola.I would recognize her sweet, angelic voice anywhere. It was like a balm o

*Sola* I bit my lower lip in mortification as Mrs Williams gasped with shock and turned to stare at me, sizzling me up and down. Alex had just insensitively told them about Justin."Did you say... Son?" Mrs Williams asked, staring back at her son with disbelief."Yes, mom. Three years ago, Sola gave birth to a boy named Justin. And I'm his father." Alex explained unapologetically. Mr Williams came to stand beside his wife and placed his arms around her stiff shoulders. "Now, calm down Elizabeth. Don't forget about your high blood pressure." he said in a soothing voice. "How can I calm down?! Our son has a son and we don't even know. We have a grandson, AJ!" Mrs Williams said to her husband. She looked like she might explode. If not for Alex that was still holding me so tightly, I would have jumped out of the room through the nearby window.

*Sola* (Mature content) I let out a soft, sleepy moan as I felt his hands squeeze my breast in that terribly sensual way he always did.Slowly, I turned sleepily into him and peeled my eyes open to stare at him. His curly hair was sleek and pressed down in his hair, making him look so boyish and adorable. Alex. My love.Before I could find any words to mutter, he leaned into me, hovering over as he crashed his strong lips onto mine, keeping his body weight from pressing me down into the soft bed. I felt his lips trail down my neck in a soft whisper. I moaned lightly as I felt the fire deep in body begin to ignite. The light in the room was dim, and the temperature was somewhat cold, but the heat that was gathered in between us was so hot that my body produced goosebumps from it."

*Sola* Two hours later, I'd managed to get some of the flour out of my hair and underwear. I glared at the two annoying men who did this to me. Justin was hooked tightly under Alex's arms, while Fayokunmi and her husband kept laughing out their lungs. This was all so funny for them. "This is not funny for me at alloh,Fayo stop laughing with them!" I bellowed in frustration. "I..I'm just so sorry!" Fayo exclaimed as she broke into laughter again.I glared at her indignantly. I was so annoyed that I walked out of the palour and entered my room, where Amina was still sleeping and snoring like an orge.I quickly dashed into the bathroom and took a long shower, before moving back out to the palour where the rest had gathered around to eat breakfast. Amina had also gotten up as well. I glanced at all the faces on the table, and felt a strong sense of peace. Amina

*Sola* Alex was still laughing as I scrambled around trying to cover my self.I Bent down to pick up the towel that Alex had dropped but was not fast enough as Alex quickly grabbed the towel again while I was left to keep on covering my body. "Alex, please! Just give me back my towel! I'm no longer mad at you, I promise." I pleaded in mortification. I was sure my whole body was blushing bright red.Alex is crazy!"I think I like this view better, Sugar..." His voice trailed off as he stared at me, especially at my crotch area. "Stop staring and give me my towel!" I cried out in frustration."Okay..okay." He said in between laughter. "Come and take it. I promise to give it to you." I let out a relieved breath and moved forward to grab the c

*Alex* The moment I got outside the hall to pick the call, I knew something had gone horribly wrong."Hello?" I spoke silently into the phone, hoping to get a swift response.The number had picked but was still silent. I held my breath, waiting and for a response. "Hello? Who am I speaking to?" I repeated in a firmer voice. I was beginning to get impatient."You wish to know Clara's location." It was a female voice. The voice was a bit thicker to quickly decipher, but I eventually knew who it was. I would recognize that taunting tilt in her voice. It was Caroline. "Caroline," I murmured in an angry voice."I am quite surprised that you would still recognize my voice by now, honey. Is that a sign that you still miss me?" She asked with a soft chuckle, like she was enjoying

*Sola*"Get out of the water, Justin! Justin!" I screamed in horror. A minute ago, I and my son were playing water splash on each other in the large swimming pool and then, all of a sudden, Justin was drowning, I watched how he splashed and gasped in front of me, trying to stay above the water, trying so hard to defeat it, but I was unable to move. It was like I was being held down by some unforseen forces, stopping me from rescuing my son."Mommy! Mommy!" He kept screaming, It was like the water was beating him down, trying to swallow him. I pushed my hands forward, trying to break through. I moaned and screamed in frustration. Why couldn't I get to my son?! Justin! Please! Let me save him! "Hang on, baby! I'm coming!" I screamed.

SECOND EPILOGUE Four months later... My water just broke. I was behind the desk, sitting close to my husband in his office. We were in the middle of an interview with one of the investors of my newly opened company, SHADE COSMETICS AND CLOTHING BRAND. I dedicated the name to my late mother, as I've always wished to. Alex had been so supportive for the past few months as he made sure my dreams were made to reality. We were still deliberating on the location and brand style with our investors when I noticed the moisture between my legs. I was very confused at first because I didn't feel any pain.Then I felt it happen. It wasn't really painful, it was more like an urge to use the toilet. But I knew what it was. The baby is coming!.

Epilogue Three months later...*Sola* "Sola! Sola! Stand still! You'll ruin your million-dollar dress!" Amina snapped at me, She was glaring at me with a menacing gleam. "Look, I'm sorry! I'm just so...so Nervous. I can't stop shaking!" I mumbled, staring at my reflection in the mirror frantically. My eyes stayed on my middle section. I was staring at my almost-visible baby bump. Thanks to the stylist Alex had flown into the country from London, the big white wedding dress was fitted perfectly to my body, yet it managed to successfully conceal my rising bump. Five months."Ami, Don't you think... I'm getting married too early? I mean.. I know I'm pregnant already.. But..""Are you on drugs?" She asked with a dead panned expression. I bit my lower

*Sola* "What..." I trailed off. Aunty Elizabeth's face broke as she began to sob. I pulled her in, trying to comfort her. I couldn't stand seeing her in pain and grief like this. "Uncle Paul.... Why is she crying like this? What's wrong Aunty Liz?" I asked in a confused voice as she kept crying and trembling in my arms. I patted and rubbed her back. My own tears were resurfacing again. Ooooh, please stop this! I didn't want to cry again."Take this," Aunty Liz handed over a rough paper to me. "Clara wrote a letter. And it's specifically for only you to read. Take it." I collected the paper reluctantly. Where was Clara for goodness sake! Was she in prison? What's wrong? I opened the paper. My breath caught as I scanned Clara's writing. That beautiful straight writing. Just perfect. Like Clara. I began to read.

*Alex* I'm sorry... She passed away over the night....My head kept twirling around. It was like I was in a dream state. I was in denial. It couldn't end this way. No.... She can't be gone. "Alex.. Calm down.." Kene's distant voice wavered through my ears. I shook my head in denial. I couldn't accept it. I couldn't accept that Sola was.. No! Don't say it!. "Alex.. Listen to the doctor first..." Amina said on my other hand, her eyes were teary, but she didn't look like someone that had just lost her friend. I shook my head in pity. She probably also didn't believe that Sola was truly dead. She was gone. "Amina... Sola.. She's..." I whimpered. Unable to finish my sentence. The doctor was still standing there, watching the scene that was unfolding. Kene grabbed my shoulders from

*Sola* Caroline turned to me and smiled wickedly. I gulped as she took in my situation. I knew what she would do next. "You bitch! You killed Clara!" I screamed at her.She laughed lightly and edged closer to me a bit."Relax, Sola. She'll probably just loose her legs. That will teach her never to betray her partner next time." She stalked to where Justin was. "Now, it's time for him to jump downstairs too." she said with a cynical tone and picked him up."He's such a sleeper. I guess the pill worked too well." "No! No, please drop my son! Please I beg you! Just.. Kill me! But please... Let him go! " I screamed as she carried my son and walked towards th

*Third pov* Clara stared at the child who was sleeping so peacefully. She'd draped him in her own over-worn pajamas and tucked him in her bed. His bed that was upstairs in the attic was tattered and filled with bedbugs and other insects. Hell, The whole place was filled with too many irritable creatures. Caroline had picked the warehouse where her father used to store some goods before.Even through the tiredness and fear of not being close to his family, the boy had boldly told her his Name. Justin. Clara chuckled silently. So cheesy, so....Sola. Clara sat still as her mind went back to the time she had first met Sola. She felt the full force of that afternoon as her mom had informed her that her friend's daughter was there. "Her name is Solaoluwa, and she's your age mate darling

*Sola* I gulped and turned to Alex, dropping my phone speedily into my pockets as I thought of what to say to him. "Alex!... I... Um..." I was stuttering. I quickly scratched my brain to think of a reply. "Tell you that,... Amina likes your friend..!" I quipped in quickly. I saw his face relax in an easy, charming smile. He was so handsome and his olive skin was a perfect contrast to his dark, hooded eyes. I loved this man so much. This perfect man who would do anything for me. I needed to protect him now, I couldn't care what would happen to me in the process.He moved in slowly, still smiling at me with his hands tucked in his pockets. "Have you been crying?" He asked as he wrapped one arm around my waist to pull me in. I moved happily into his warm embrace and breathed in his wonderful scent. He was like my save haven.
