Chapter 1
A MONTH AGO Baila sat in her living room operating on her system she had some unfinished work that she needs to submit to Tamar, he didn't let her go to work today because she was feeling ill. But Baila always been the stubborn type she insisted on completing her work, she was so engrossed in her work that she didn't notice her phone vibrating beside her just as she turned to take the bottle of water beside her she saw her phone vibrating she picked it up slowly and checked the title ID it showed Sebastian one of her best friends, Without wasting any time she pick the call and what meet her ears was the panting voice of Sebastian which made her careworn. “Help… help me….. please”came Sebastian panting voice. “Sebastian! Sebastian! Sebastian can you hear me?”she asked but the other party already hung up the call. “Fuck fuck what could have possibly happened”she thought and dialed her other best friends number, Amira. It first ring passed and there was no response same goes to the second ring and the third ring the phone was answered. “Do yo miss me that much?”Amiras Australia accent welcomed her ears. “ Amira I think Sebastian is in trouble”she mumbled. “And why do you think so?”Amira questioned. “He called me this time around he was pantting like he was beaten up he called me for help, I don't know what to do that's why i am calling you”she rushed her words. “Well I don't Knorr, you Knorr the last time he called you for something like this he almost rapped you so I will say don't go it's maybe one of his tricks”Amira said calmly. “No he sounded like he was in real trouble this time around”she said. “I already told you what I needed to tell you don't call me again if you want to be foolish, at list learn from your mistake”she hissed and eneded the call. “Gosh what should I do?”she mutteres to herself. Without thinking she took one of the cars park in the parking garage outside and drove roughly out of the mansion. After few minutes of driving baila arrived at Sebastians place, she came down from her car and walked into the house the door wasn't closed when she went in and the house was dark. “Sebastian”she called calmly trying to find the light switch. “Sebas…..”before she could complete her words her nose and mouth was covered with a white piece of cloth and she fell unconscious after struggling while trying to scream. “Am so sorry my dare friend but I can't watch another man take you away from me, you would have been mine if that bastard didn't walk into the picture.”Sebastian said as he carried her into is arms he turned on the light switch and a girl named Vanessa face came to view she smiled mishaviously. “I told you it would be ease”she smiled and glare at baila with hatred. “Your job here is done now go keep that useless husband of hers company”he said and she only gave an eyeroll before exiting the scene. It was getting dark when Tamar arrived home he searched the entire building for his wife but couldn't find her, he asked the maids around but none of them saw her living the penthouse. He thought maybe she went to Amiras so he called her number but it was switched off and he dialed Amiras number and she picked. “Mr. Tamar you cared to reach me today am I safe?”she questioned immediately she picked the call and he just chuckled. “Sorry I have been busy lately so I didn't have time to call”he explained. “No need for the long explanation Mr. Billionaire I understand, sorr why calling me”she asked again. “Baila isn't home is she with you?”he asked and there was silence in the other parties angle. “Amira”he called and that seems to revive her. “She isn't here with me. About four hours ago she called me and told me Sebastian called her he sounded like he was in trouble I told her not to go duo to the last time incident but it seems like she went.”she explained trying to sound calm only God knows how pissed she is right now, Baila doesnt listen she never does. “Fuck”he stood up took his jacket and ran out of the penthouse with a car key. In Less than fourteen minutes he arrived at Sebastians place he walked into the house silently and what he heard was someone trying to break free from another. The person voice sounds so much familiar like that of his wife. “Let me go you bastard”baila said almost breathless as Sebastian ride inty her none stop, she had wokening up only to find him sexing her. “Help!!!”her voice bearly above a whisper, she tried pushing him away but her hands were tied with a rope to the bed stand. Just when she lost all hope the door burst open and Tamar came in looking all dengours he charged at Sebastian without thinking twice he throw a punch at his face and he fell heavily on top baila who finally found her voice and screamed out in pain. “How dare you place your filthy hands on my woman you fucking bastard”Tamar rorad and punched him again. He kicked him countless times losing control of his anger. Sebastian tried getting up on his feet but Tamar left him no chance too as he continued blessing his face with punches. “Babe help me”baila whispered as she tried to wiggle her hands out of the rope, Tamar divert his burning gaze to her and he starred at her with anger and hatred she glued down in fear looking everywhere ealse but not is face. “ I warned you”he thundered and she shrieked trying to sink into the bed she as never seen Tamar this anger and nobody needs to tell her that she fucked up. He glared at her with nothing but pure anger in his eyes the fire from his eyes burns holes straight into her's. “Am sorry”she shudder tears already pouring out of her eyes tamars angrily walk to the bed and undid the rope, he cover her with the blanket then carried her in a bridal style as they walk out of the building, just then Amira arrived with the cops. “Arrest that bastard”he told them and went into his car with Baila who wouldn't stop sobbing. ONE MONTH AFTER Baila sighs for the fifth time as she wait anxiously for the doctors report, she as been waiting for the report close to an hour now. “Gosh”she muttered and face the floor glaring at the tilted floor. Just then the door opened and the doctor came in with a white piece of paper on his hands, she sprained up from her sit immediately he came in fully. “Doctor what does the result says?”she asked impatiently. “Please have a sit”the doctor pointed at the chair politely before he went to seat down and she sat down just after him. Lately she as been having some weird feelings and she would throw up almost evertime she hasn't seen her period for the past two months, she doesn't want to jump into conclusion so she came for a test. “So Ms. Arerebo, good news you are two months pregnant”he broke the news and she immediately rest her head on his desk living him with a puzzled look. “Why? Just why”she questioned no one in particular as she raised her head tears already pouring down her cheeks. “Ms. Arerebo you are crying, it seems like you don't want the child”the doctor said slowly handing her a tissue which she take in wiping her tears. “I don't want to keep it”she said out of the blue and the doctors mouth went wide. “Ms. Arerebo you don't wanna keep the heir of the Arerebo family?”he asked and she nod. “Yes I don't, look doctor Smith”she held his hands which was relaxing on the table wrapping her palm on his.”I know you have been the personal doctor to the Arerebo family for the past twenty years and I am begging you to please keep this a secret, please consider me your daughter and don't tell Tamar”she pleds he saw the pleading in her eyes and nod. “I won't, but it's going to be hard keeping such thing a secret from old lady”he breathed. “I know and thank you so much Ms. Smith”she said with a smile and walk out of the office. On getting to her house she meet cloths from both genders on the floors of the living room, and that made her sigh in regret her hear made a tumb as the momery of that night a month ago made sparks in her head. Tamar is at it again he as been bringing girls to sex with since the day he saw that Sebastian and her, not just that his attitude towards her changed completely he was like a monster. He doesn't touch her nor does he even see her as a person their two years of marriage is just sinking and she can't do anything to save it. She bent down to pick the cloths when Tamar came down from the stairs with a girl wearing his T shirt, the very first one she wore on their first night together. “You don't really have to do that”his deep husky voice sounded as he decends from the stairs she turned to stear at him with a questioning look. “Tamar”he called. “Park your things and get out of my house we are getting divorced”he replied. “What?”she exclaimed. “We are what, you can't do that Tamar”she tried explaining but he only scoff and pulled the girl beside him by her waist and their body gambed while she just starred at them tears already gathered in her eyes. “As you can see am moving in with her, I rather have someone responsible by myside than have a whore called my wife”he gagged while starring at her irritated. “ And you will get two million dollars with the paint house, that's if you shine the divorce papers”he said and walk out with the girl living her to cry uncontrollably. She cursed Sebastian under her breath as she cried for braking her marriage, if only she had listened to Tamar when he warned her to stay away from Sebastian none of this would be happening. After crying for long she gathered her broken self and went upstairs to their room to parck her bags, she still can't believe her two years marriage is going down all becuase of her foolishness. She glance around the room and her eyes fell on the little frame containing both herself snd Tamar it was their wedding day, she remember it like it was yesterday. She went across the bed to pick the frame as she starred at it a tear slipped from her eyes and fall on the frame. “I hate you”she muttered to herself and took the Frame. Baila stood outside Amiras apartment her best friend she knocked on the door trying to old her tears from falling her luggage pwas beside her, she knocked again after any reply. “I am coming”she heard Amiras voice from inside and the door opened after some few seconds immediately Amira face came to view she burst out in tears while the confused Amira just hugged her and let her in along with her luggage without questioning her. They sat on the chair without talking baila is still crying while petting her beck, Amira waited patiently till she was done and that took more than twenty minutes. “Do you want to talk now”she asked baila calmly she nods her head then lock gaze with Amira. “Tamar wants a divorce”she broke the new immediately Amiras eyes grew wide. “What”she gasped. “Yes and we are getting divorced tonight”she sniffed. “I know what I did was stupid, but can't he just let it die?”she asked Amira who still had the shock look on her face. “I can't believe Tamar could be so immature, and you I warned you that day not to go meet Sebastian when he called I knew something was wrong but you was to foolish to listen now look at you now”she scold. “It's not my fault, you don't expect me to ignore my best friend calling for help if I had knew he had such ill intentions I wouldn't have went when he called me. instead of scolding me I came here for comfort I came here because I have no were to go and you know that”she broke down into tears again while Amira pulled her into a hug while patting her back. “Shuush am sorry ok, am sorry”she apologized baila broke the huge and faced her. “The worst part is that I am pregnant”she dropped the bomb. “Wait! What! For who Tamar or Sebastian?”Amira questioned earning a glare from baila. “What am just asking”she defends. “It's Tamar, the baby is two months old” she sighed. “I don't know what to do right now Amira am confused” she mumbled. “Don't so what are you going to do with the baby?”she asked. “Abort it”baila she muttered enough for Amira to hear. “You can't do that, even if you if you don't want it keep it. What if you can only bear one child and you just abort it”Amira convinced. “That's the problem here Amira am so confused”she held her head in regrets “I wish Sebastian rotten in jail”she muttered. “Ok let's just forget about everything, let me get you some woter”she sid and thst made baila smile. “Ok get me woter”she pisstake her while laughing. “Cut the crap I Knorr you lovrr my accent”she said standing of from the crouch and walk into the kitchen. “Of courrrse I do lovrr yourr accent”baila laughed.

Chapter 3Baila stared at him dumbfoundedly, her mouth wide open in shock as she stared at him, for more than a minute they both stood like statues staring intently at each other. They shared eye contact that no one of them was ready to break, after what seemed like forever Tamar cleared his throat that seemed to revive her back.“its good to see you again”he whispered to just their hearing. “same here”she replied coldly, it's been years and she doesn't know how to react after seeing the father of her kids after five years of separation.“you look good”he compliments and rubs his thumb on his nose bridge before bringing it down. “you don't look bad yourself”she returned his compliment followed by an awkward silence, seeing him in person again after this long she finally realized that she somehow missed him she wanted to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him but she couldn't bring herself to what if he pushed her away in disgust. She had expected to see him but not today when thei
Chapter 4Her eyes were wide in shock as she was still trying to process what he said, did doctor Smith say anything to me? How can she forget something as important as this? The doctor can never keep a secret from Arerebo ; he has always been loyal to them his whole life. “I don't understand, what are you talking about?''she asked and composed herself then turned to him with a frown settled on her face. “What is it that you don't understand? Do you really think you can hide my kids from me? ''he answered her question looking calm god knows he is trying to control his anger, she not wanting to come back to him is one thing but hiding their children away from him is another thing.“We have no kids together I don't know what you are talking about”she maintained her frowning expression. “The fuck, you are still denying”he nagged walking back to his desk he opened the drawer and took some white papers before walking back towards her, he took her hand forcefully and put the papers on her
Chapter 5Screams filled the air as people in the area run for their life nobody dared to look back. Baila rushed to her car and closed the door before her kids could come out. She looked at her side mirror and saw that it was destroyed. Her gaze followed the scratch on her car and they landed on a woman lying almost lifeless on the ground and a girl stood beside her crying.She looked down and a gasp escaped her lip, she immediately ran over to her to them she knelt beside the woman and to her surprise the woman wasn't bleeding. “Call 911”she said in a rush. “Ok”the girl replied and cleaned her tears with one hand before bringing out her phone to dial the number when the woman woke up.“There's no need to do that”she said, shocking both Baila and the girl who immediately knelt beside her. “Mummy, are you ok”the girl said, helping her mom to sit up beside the car. “Yeah I am good”she breathed and glanced at Baila. “Thank you but am ok”the woman assured. “You sure ma'am you were shot,”
Chapter 6Baila smiled as she finished the glass of wine and faced one of the ladies she was talking to. “Oh yes i know that”she smiled and the lady nodded like the billionaires she is. “I used your latest skin care product hare, it's made my skin glow”another billionaire standing beside her said. “Wow it's really glowing I should try it”the women complimented and Baila couldn't help but blush, it was an honour to see that the top richest women in the country and the world is making use of her product. “Thank you so much, I never knew you'd know about SKINS existence.”she blushed and they laughed at her before one of them hit her on her arm playfully. “What do you think of us, gods?”she asked and they continued charting and laughing all of a sudden Baila felt hot and dizzy but she brushed it off and continued charting while giggling, another minute passed away and her insides were burning. She rubbed her palms together and stylishly touched her forehead feeling her temperature. “Wha
Chapter 7Baila stared at him like he was a ghost. What is she gonna tell her kids? That the man standing In Front of them is their father, not impossible she just glared at Tamar. “Mummy”Paul called, snapping her out of her thoughts. “Who is he?” Paula asked if she really didn't know what to her kids or how to explain the whole situation to them, they are just four. She moved her gaze back to Tamar who returned the same gaze the only didn't was that he had a little smirk playing by the side of his thin lips, and that's when she noticed the room she was in, the red sheets the wall painted with white paints and the little desk by the side waiting this was her room their room. It looked the same as five years ago, she faced her kids and smiled. “Who brought you here?''she asked, glancing from one person to another. “You didn't come home last night so uncle flex dropped us with Aunty Amira, then just this morning this Mr. here came to pick us from aunty Amiras place.”Paula explained her
Chapter 8Baila wanted to say something but kept her cool. She slowly looked over to Tamar waiting to hear what he would say but he didn't utter a single word, she glanced at Paula and Paul and signaled them to continue eating their meal with a single nod which they did. Like that the entire dining room fell into silence only the sounds of cutleries on plates were heard, Jessica stared in disbelief at what the heck is going on, how dare he bring a woman into their home and still be as calm as this.“What the fuck is wrong with you?”she barked stamping her foot on the floor, she looked like a mad woman with the way she was behaving. “Hey language, there are minors here”Baila hissed and that increased Jessica's anger. “Oh wow she's got some guts, Huh? Tamar you are so unbelievable.''she sniffed heartbrokenly. “You can just leave now”Baila gave an eye roll before facing her breakfast. “I wasn't talking to you”Jessica raged. “You can leave now, I will settle you later”Tamar finally spoke
Chapter 9Baila looked back before facing Tamar she pointed at herself. “You want me to leave?''she asked, making sure she heard him correctly. Tamar didn't reply to her, he walked back to the bed and sat down on it. “Exactly is wrong with you Tamar? One minute you're Mr.romantic the next you're just a jerk.``she raised her voice a little. Tamar still did not reply to her, instead he walked over to the table and took a pack of cigarettes. He opened the pack and took one from it. He brought out a lighter from his pants pocket and was about to light it but Baila beat him to it. “Don't smoke In Front of me you know how much I hate the smell”she greeted her teeth in disgust, he threw the pack of cigarettes into the trash can beside the table and the one on his hand before dropping the lighter on the table he said Baila and sighed. “Two days, two days Baila. I will let you go for two days and within two days you'll tell the kids who I am to them”came his husky deep voice that sounded meek
