We were interrupted by Mrs Mona, she wanted to take a glass of water and almost caught Adam and I almost kissing..I had to pull away and I did it in a way that she or anyone that just walked in wouldn't be able to suspect us. " Ma'am! Do you need anything!". She approached us seated on the couch waiting for a response. I didn't want anything and neither did Adam. * No! We are fine " I said after analysing the counterance on Adams face as it was starting to get serious. He didn't like the fact that Mona walked in and In such an ungodly hour, the moment were the stars aligned and we were about to touch lips..I couldn't continue sitting in the room with Adam, so I grabbed my phone and fled to my bedroom. I wasn't sure whether Adam would want to complete the movie with me, Mona's in the kitchen and with her presence hovering around, she might come outside and encounter a sense not her eyes..I decided to watch the movie inside my bedroom, but shortly after that was planned; I rece
The following morning, I was getting ready to leave for the hospital when I saw Lucas car drove in and packed right in front of my eyes. He was supposed to come back after two weeks, and it's only a few days left for his return, so why's he back home so suddenly?." Anna, my baby, I've missed you". He came down from his car and we hugged." Whoa! I've missed you too" I also said and then made sure to grin and also show some teeths _ while I was talking to my husband, Adam stepped out and he caught us still hugging each other. " Whoa! Bro, you came earlier than expected". Lucas turned to his friend and they both opened their arms and embraced each other, it was as if nothing has happened for this few weeks we've been together in the house..Lucas wanted to know everything, and by that; he was hell bent to know even the smallest thing that happened. He talked with his friend and while they had their chit chat, I took his luggage back to the room. I helped him unpacked and then notic
The next morning, I tried all I could to ignore Adam and not go along with him and my husband to the hospital, I could atest to the fact that Rue's daughter needed blood and might die if care isn't taken, it scares and annoys me to think that Rue would keep such an important information for me.." What are you doing, let's go!?". Lucas held my hand and forced me to the car packed outside. Adam was already in one of the cars and as we got inside the driver started driving. It was a quiet ride to the hospital, we had just arrived when Chris and rue were asked my the doctor to stay behind. Lucas asked what was going on, and Chris explained that Rue's daughter had gone into seizure. I felt bad and sad and it wasn't a sight anyone would wish to see and definitely not on a young girls life...Lucas asked me to console rue While him and Chris with Adam goes to meet the doctor. However, it was after they had managed to stabilise Anna from going into another shock..I stayed in the room
LUCAS POV With my mother coming home, I knew there was going to be trouble. And Anna would be in a fable when she starts talking about her not being able to give us children. I've been married to Anna for a year and those months have been one of the happiest days of my lives _ I want to give my wife children, infact I should be able too but it takes a whole load of strength when I remember that I would never become a father. My have low sperm count and it was only a matter of time and by God's grace would I be able to impregnate any lady. Anna doesn't know this, and neither does my mom. The only person who knows about it happens to be Adam, I called him over to help me with my marriage, get Anna pregnant and after everything has been taken care of, I step in as the father, pay Adam off and everyone lives happily ever after..My doctor has advised me to tell my father, I mean I want to tell Anna and my mother, but for now I cannot deal with their judgemental look on the face. They
The following morning, I went with Chris to the office. He has been trying to get in touch with a mutual friend of mine and as a friend I had volunteered to get in touch with the man on his behalf. " Tell me something, how are you and rue?". I asked him.." She's good, I still want a divorce". He told me.." Really!! Why can't you forgive her, everyone makes mistakes". As a friend, I adviced him... There was uncertainty on his face, it was like he wanted to listen to me, but the ego of finding out that his child isn't his own.." Rue hurt me, I don't think I can forgive her". He answered me. I didn't know what to tell him, it was so sad that everything has happened between him and his wife..I opened my phone book and gave the phone number to him. Chris thanked me and then left my office, he should be able to talk with the divorce lawyer and I cannot seem think how Anna would behave when she finds out that I gave her friend's husband the number to a divorce lawyer..They wer
Mom wanted to know why Anna was against Adam coming home. We locked eyes and when she tried speaking about it, it was so clear that she didn't want Adam living in the same house as the both of us. " Anna, can we talk?" I grabbed her hand and brought her upstairs to our bedroom. She was still so angry with me that she pushed my hand away the moment we got to the room.." What's your deal with Adam, why do you want him in our lives?". She quizzed me.. I wanted to answer her question but it was way too dangerous to even try it, I'd lose face and my family will know that I am the reason why Anna hasn't been able to get pregnant.. " His my friend and doesn't have anyone else to help me, please, be reasonable". I said, acting like I was upset with her..She was still adamant and has refused to allow Adam inside the house, but after much deliberation, she finally agreed but made me promise to keep Adam far away from her.If she's far away, how then can my plan become a success?.I had t
The following day, I had to come back from the office when I heard my mom arguing with one of the maids at home. I was bit calm because it was Anna, and knowing the both of them, my house would have been burnt down.." Shut up and do as you're told" Upon seeing me, my mom grabbed the shoulder of the maid and then sent her into the kitchen. There was something strange about that, or let's say that I felt an offsetting behaviour from my mother?.." Son, thanks for coming back home early". We hugged and she asked me to go upstairs to the room and change into the death anniversaries outfit. I came inside the room, Anna was just getting ready but she saw me walking inside, I didn't have to tell her, she just opened my clothes and then left the room.. she didn't even care to say a word to me , her husband. Anna might be upset now but after everything, she'd be the happiest lady by becoming a mother...I finished changing and then joined the rest of the family downstairs in welcoming
ADAMS POV ..Ever since I graduated from college, my life hasn't been on a bed of roses. I lost my parents business and fell into a deep debt myself _ the only thing sustainability I have the hope that Lucas will invest in my company, and that too after my job has been concluded. I want to say that I've not been a good and truthful to either Anna or her husband, I feel even more shitty after learning that I have a daughter with Rue, my ex girlfriend's best friend, and now her husband, Chris, who's supposed to be my best friend now fucking hates me ..." Good morning, Adam" .I had to arrived at my meeting point when some men approached and stopped me by the car. There wasn't any need for alarm and that was because I knew them, I knew who they were and how much they were willing to beat me up for the insane amount of money I owe them.." Sir, what brings you here?". I asked the man standing at my face. He wasn't the main boss but whatever the main boss wants, he definitely delivers
Luckily, Mom came and she was successful enough to change the topic and Mr Kent from searching my cellphone.. I was back to my bedroom and Lucas was there trying to button his t-shirt, looking at the way he was dressed, it was so evident that he was heading out..." Good day to you". I smiled and then assisted him with his buttons...He thanked me, but before leaving the Room, he kinda saw the ciunetaj on my face and then was generous enough to ask me questions about it..." What happened, Why do you look sad?" He stopped and then turned his attention on me..I never wanted to share with him about my encounter in Mr Kent's house, however, it was evident that I tell him; so he could be able to prepare for what's coming...I told him everything but all he could say was." What! I don't think that's a big deal". He spoke and then left me misunderstanding myself. Anyone in his shoes would become upset and hateful about what I had just told them, my husband thought that it wasn't a bi
It came as a great shock when Lucas explained everything to me. He wasn't just kidnapped by Mr Kent, he was told several things that has caused him to behave in such a disruptive manner. " Hey, don't worry, everything will be fine". I consoled him as we laid on the bed..After that, I went downstairs for a glass of water, that was what I came to do until I caught Chris having an intimate conversation with his mother at the kitchen.." Son, I think we should leave Lucas and his family alone". Mrs Gena told her son.She has never been in good terms with my mother and this has been their normal routine.."No! I cannot leave my friend and his family alone with Mr Kent". Chris made his stance clear to her. Anyone in her shoes wouldn't instigate any further, but she continued and even promised to do whatever Chris wanted if her request was being accepted..." Hmm! What do you think?". She asked him, " she continued. I listened to their conversation and almost forgot that I came to grab
I paid a visit to my mother-in-law and told her about the plan, at first she didn't want to agree to have anything to do with Mr Kent, but it was a matter of clearing her name and also finding a chance to bring her son and Rue 's husband back home..She then asked me to set a date with him, but I thought to myself,; why wait when they can meet eachother right now. So with Mr woods assistance, I was able to set a date with Mr Kent. He came and I was rather compelled to leave them alone so they could have a conversation and talk...Rue met me at the police station and was immediately upset when I told her what was happening. If anyone would've been upset, it should be her mother-in-law, she never liked the fact that my mother-in-law caused everything and now has been accused for a crime she never committed...However, nothing really mattered to Rue when I explained to her the reason behind mom's behaviour and why she had to accept Mr Kent...In less than two hours, the chargers of mu
Back home, it was time for dinner and I was just the only one at home. Rue and her daughter had important business to attend too, but her mom seemed to be occupied in her room. She didn't want to come downstairs even after the maids had pleaded with her..After eating, I went to my mother in-laws bedroom. Something tells me that I was going to find something inside of her room. I came there at the only thing I saw was her expensive cloths, Makeups and a few of Luca's baby outfits... There was nothing that could lead me to the truth, and while I was struggling to find something in her room, I received a phonecall from Mr Kent. He wanted me to come to his house and talk, I never wanted to go m, however he didn't give me any choice..I had to leave everything behind and met with him..Kent was happy to find me at his house and calmly ushered me in and also asked his maids to get me a glass of water while the other a cup of tea. I was still seated on the sofa, the maids came back an
After Rue and I came back home, it was a quiet place to begin with. Rue had always advised me not to take matters into my own hands but did I listen to her? No, I was so determined to find out the truth and also clear my mother-in-laws name. Because no matter how annoying she can be sometimes, it's usually annoying to think that she'd be willing to murder a human being.." Anna, what brings you here?". I came to the police station to have a serious conversation with my mother-in-law. I asked him if I could see her, but it didn't matter what I say, woods refused to let me meet my mother-in-law saying it wasn't the right time..Since he wasn't willing to let me see my mother, I chose to stop at Mariam's house..The only reason why I came here was to actually know what was happening. I even met with a few neighbours and not one person saw what happened that night. I want to believe them but deep down I had doubt..So, there I was thinking that I won't be able to find out the truth
Thankfully, Rue had a tracker on her daughter's phone and we were able to know where they were. The tracking device took us to some frat party and it was full of college kids. Was this the friend party Lillian was talking about, and when did alcohol become a means or snacks? Before getting inside the house, I begged Rue not to cause a scene, I know her and know what she's capable of doing. She promised me but for colse references, I held her hands and then made sure that we looked for our daughter's at the same time .." I don't see them". She spoke to me. "I don't either... Are we sure that they're here?". I questioned the untentistity of the tracking device on her cellphone. "Yes, my device doesn't lie". Rue refused to believe that she might be wrong...We went upstairs because that was where the device led us, it did take sometime to know where the kid's were untill we saw them talking to some boys at a secluded corner...Knowing Rue, she'd never approach the children withi
After their unruling confrontation, My mother-in-law finally told us the reason why she had to come to the police station and have an intimate conversation with Mr woods.. And one of the reasons was the fact that, she blames herself for what happened to both Lucas and Chris. She came to the police station to speak with the police officer and share with him the details she knew about Kent and how to stop him.We had to believe her because it didn't seem like she'd be lying to us. Rue went upstairs to her bedroom and I was left behind to continue in the conversation, despite the fact that I didn't have anything to say..."So! Did woods say he'd help?". I turned back by head and faced her. " Yeah, don't worry, Your husband and Chris Will be back". She came forward and placed her head on top of my forehead. I don't usually like this kind of affection, maybes because I am not used to it and definitely when it's coming from her...She later went upstairs to her bedroom and then I ha
Rue and I came back home after the bar, we had thought everyone must've gone to bed, but we were stunned to find out that neither our mother in-laws were sleeping and they were wide awake, waiting to pound on rue and myself. We might not say it but both our mother-in-law's acts the same way and it was starting to feel like things aren't what it seems to be. " Where are you both coming from?". Rue's mother-in-law was the first person to start talking. She talked and gave a chance to my mother. It was like they were taking turns and we were unjustly getting reprimanded by them instead of looking for the opportunity to find out where their sons, our husband might be . " Anna, I am disappointed in you". My mother-in-law left Rue's and personally faced me.It's really uncanny that she'd talk about disappointment when she might've been responsible for what happened to Adam's mother. " Ma'am, it's not Anna's fault" Rue stepped into the conversation..She attempted to speak further
After the preparation, Rue and I went to get ready for her wedding anniversary. The kids too also got their dresses sent to their rooms on time. Lucas phoned me and then Informed that he was coming back home with Chris, we only had an hour to get ready and then come downstairs with a full crowd of guests that were supposed to arrive. The kid's, Rue and I came downstairs and approached the main door. We stood there and patiently waited for Lucas to drive in with Chris. An hour had gone and they were yet to come back home, Rue was starting to get scared and I would honestly say that, I was also becoming scared as well .." Should we call them?" Rue anxiously grabbed her phone. I didn't say anything because I was in agreement but before she could dial the number, Lucas came drove Inside the house. Everyone was at peace and we all assumed they might've arrived, but what shocked us was the fact that their car was being driven by a stranger who thought of sending the car back home...
