"My throat is a little dry. Can I get some water?" After Adams helped her with water, he decided now was the time to tell her.
"So Uh, Topaz. I had a talk with Doctor Ramya yesterday about your situation and I don't know if she's told you" Adams started and the blonde shook her head, making Adams frown. How come she doesn't know? Has no one read her diagnosis to her? "No, not yet. I assume soon" she said plainly, and Adams debated whether to push on or not."You look like you have something to say" the blonde stated, making Adams stare at her nervously."I do, but it's Uh, inappropriate" he brushed his hand through his hair. "Hit me" the blonde joked, earning another frown from Adams. He couldn't help but wonder why the blonde used dark humour, perhaps to hide her pain."You want me, Topaz Salvador as your baby mama?" Topaz asked not understanding where he was coming from and why he had come up. with such ideas looked like a truck had hit her beyond recognition yet str looked like she had been struck by lightning and yet this fine man with black hair who looked like he visited the gym every single day was bothering her about the baby in her womb which she was just hearing about and now he wanted her to pretend to be his Baby mama for a hundred million when he wasn't even the father?"Who are you?' she asked after having a mental battle and thinking he wanted to use her for rituals or some sort of human body organ trafficking with the body of her baby." I just told you my name is Adams and I am a wealthy business tycoon I own a series of businesses and am the only heir apparent to the properties my fat as I had to get to you so you can be able to vouch for me with this baby so yhe6 think it's mine they've been on my neck as concerns a baby and marria
Thoughts!Deep in thought as to what she wanted to do with her life, Topaz sat on the hospital bed after Adams had left to go see how his company was being operated on since he left "Was it right for her to think it through and accept? What if her abusive husband? But maybe he wouldn't care that much since she was rushed to the hospital by Adams he had not even as much as given her a phone call and that was when she realised that she had not held her phone since she was brought to the hospital may be the bastard had taken her phone thinking she was going to die and no one was going to find her body she was bitter as she sat on the bed thinking of good things that could come with her being in a fake marriage with Adams.Just as she was thinking deep Doctor entered the ward with a piece of paper containing all of her results and the vitamins she was supposed to be taking as she was expected to be healthy for the sake of the baby.A hundred million was no child's play and if she had this
The change!When she accepted she was going to be in his life for a period although Topaz had not yet known how long she was going to be with him and his family.She was discharged from the hospital three days later and since she didn't have a place where she could go live for the main time she stood outside the hospital building thinking of where to go to.Her parent's house was not in this part of town and she was an orphan, to begin with so it would be difficult for her to go there with money.Topaz slowly walked to the hospital garden side to sit and think of a few things before she finally made up her mind.After she sat there she felt a presence. by her and by instincts she was almost getting up with a fight but then she relaxed when she saw who it was and he asked her why she was seated there all alone."It is funny how I have finally ended up on the streets you know, I can't even find my way back home hence I feel like I am being battered over and over with that thought fresh
Everything had to start from fresh for her and Adams was sure to make that happen.After yesterday he had gotten to one of the best hair and make-up he knew who worked and styled even the celebrities he paid her to come to his condo to make Topaz look like one of the girls from the magazine.She looked surprised when she saw the kind of person who had been brought to change her look she couldn't believe what she had done to deserve such perfect treatment from him because he was more than loving towards her and even without having the bruises on her body with the way he was treating her she knew he would have helped her somehow even without wanting her to be his baby mama and contracted wife."Now I want you to make her look pristine and model like Alexa," he told the hair stylist and the won shook her head and began working.Adams left the room to go attend to a business call and when he was done with the call he came back in and told her he had to go attend to some meetings hence he
Today was the day to sign the paperwork.It was a beautiful Saturday morning and Adams's girlfriend was on her way back from one of her modelling gigs hence he had to find a way to make her stay with his mother and not come to his condo until he had found a house for Topaz.If the woman had to find out he had a girlfriend then she had to find out from him and not from an altercation between the both of them.There was one he loved so much and would do whatever just to make her happy meanwhile there was the other whom he felt compelled to protect from the hands of her dubious his and who had care in the world for her wellbeing.She went to dress up to meet him in the car.There was a need why he did not allow the paparazzi to see him with her just yet if there was a way she would have stayed home while he brought the papers to her but if he was to make it transparent he should be able to take her to where she was going to sign the papers.She entered the car and wore her seat belt she
After the contract was signed and sealed from the lawyer's office the only thing that had to be done was to make sure that Topaz had a suitable home for herself and the baby and that all the provisions that were expected to make her live comfortably.Although Adams had been present physically it seemed to be that his mind was far away and he could barely even answer any of her questions with ease.His phone kept buzzing and she just kept ignoring the fact that when his phone buzzed he gave her a certain look before taking off the counter.The was weird because she had not remembered making him feel uncomfortable to do the things he normally used to do so having to see bum behave like there was something wrong was offensive to her so she finished her glass of wine and went up the stairs she had to make sure she was in the right frame of mind to handle these changes in her life._______Adams POV.As of now having signed the papers and found a house for her, I couldn't be more thankful
Well after having a hectic day Adams had forgotten to get to his girlfriend as he had promised and he headed straight for home when he got home he found that Topaz was in the kitchen helping the maids to book some food it was overwhelming as he had not seen his female friends want to help the maids so he stood by the door of the kitchen and was just watching how well she blended with them and how she was discussing with the maids and laughing.Unfortunately, he had to cough and when he coughed that was when everyone became aware he was behind them and the carefree manner changed because all the maids stood at attention scared because they knew his girlfriend Andrea always said she did not want maids talking to her or more like she didn't want to be in connection with any of the maids when she was around so they all thought Topaz was like that because Adams took it to heart whenever his friends where unsatisfied he shouted at them and told them to behave properly."Oh hey you're back,
Adams had a serious business meeting out of town which needed his attention hence he had to go there but since he had yet to find a perfect spot for Topaz and also for his girlfriend not to go home and meet Topaz there unexpectedly he decided to go with Andrea even if it was joy part of his plan he told her that he wanted them to spend some time together while at the guesthouse that had been rented out for him for his one week stay at the resort.Andrea was happy because she knew he was doing all of that so that they were going to settle their issues perfectly and she was not going to have to quarrel with him over long issues anymore.Andrea had gone for a little shopping for the one week out of town she bought a few lingerie because she envisage a spicy night wither boo.But in his mind, he simply just wanted a peaceful time with his girlfriend not having to see his baby mama and starting a quarrel because Topaz wasn't the hot-headed kind of woman meanwhile Andrea was and she let it
Adams sat down by the hospital bed doing some work on his laptop. The hospital had become his new office and home as he spent all his time there doing the things he was supposed to be doing in either his house or the office. He just wanted to be by her side and protect her at all costs. He looked at her beautiful face and smiled. Even in her suffering, she still looked beautiful. He put away his laptop and took her hands in his."Topaz Anderson, I can't wait for you to finally wake up. I know you can hear me and I just want to say this, I promise you this time around, I would never leave your side. I promised to protect you once and I failed. But this time around, I swear with everything in me that I would never let anyone hurt you again. I promise to be a better husband to you and a better father to our children, Michelson and our little one yet to be born. I made a mistake Topaz which I regret terribly and I'm sorry." he cried as tears rolled from his eyes." I'm sorry I wasn't ther
Love conquers All.It had been a month since Topaz had been admitted in the hospital, she was still unconscious from the accident. Adams didn't for a day leave her side as he sat by her everyday praying and hoping she would open her eyes. The doctors had managed to save the baby even though it was almost impossible, it was a miracle that the baby had survived all that trauma. The doctors had told him to be positive and keep praying and deep down, he believed she would wake up. People had been visited her from Margaret to everyone in the family. They had even volunteered to stay with her while he goes home and gets some rest but he refused saying he didn't want her to wake up at any point and not find him beside her. The doctors had said it was rare for a pregnant woman to be in coma and the baby actually survives so they told Adams to keep praying that she wakes up and with the baby in good shape. If he hadn't left her side, all this wouldn't have happened, his baby wouldn't have had
Topaz's POV I wanted to make sure of my results, so I rushed to the hospital for a proper checkup. Sometimes, those test strips were faulty so I had to do a proper blood test. I finally switched on my phone and I didn't see any missed call from Adams. I wondered how he was doing, if he was okay or if he was still in a bad temper. I opened my camera and glanced through the numerous pictures we had taken together and the ones I had taken of him alone. It had been 5 days since the incident and I missed seeing his face especially when he slept. I looked at a particular picture I took of him when he was sound asleep with fluffy Adams in his arms. I zoomed the picture and took a closer look at his face. His lawyer had finally gotten to me with the divorce papers and the various Claus for me to abide by before I see Michelson. I wasn't even ready to sign those papers and honestly, I didn't have the time because I was seriously down with this issue of being pregnant. I contemplated pulling
Findings!Topaz woke up from her sleep panting and breathing heavily from the nightmare she just had. Immediately she sat down, a nauseous feeling hit her and she rushed immediately to the bathroom where she emptied all the contents in her stomach. She hadn't eaten yesterday throughout yesterday and this morning so why was she vomiting? Probably because of all the crying and sobbing she had undergone. She rinsed her mouth and tried freshening up but she felt instantly weak and tired. The constant crying and lamenting had drained her as she climbed on the bed and drifted off to sleep again.Adams was in his office looking at the pictures of Topaz on his phone from the pictures of their honeymoon to the present ones. He couldn't believe that innocent face that he kissed every day was capable of doing much to him. He already had his lawyers send her the divorce papers and Claus which she had to abide by to see Michelson. He couldn't afford to let his child be with that good for nothing.
Some broken hearts never mendTopaz's world had crashed down as she packed her bags with tears dropping down from her eyes. Michelson was with Margaret that morning as she had dropped him off to go to work. How could Adams think much about her? So all the love he had been prophesying to her was all a lie? Who was behind this? Topaz thought to herself. Adams had also told her not to take Michelson along which made her heartbroken the more. She took her luggage downstairs and came face to face with Adams he looked drunk and he had been crying as she noticed his puffy red eyes. She wanted to say something but the lump in her throat wouldn't let her. She still forced it out anyway" Adams please don't do this, I swear I don't know anything about all this. You have to believe me, Adams. I'm innocent" she pleaded with him. She walked up to him and held his hand as she tried to make him reason with her. He looked at her and she saw a glint of hurt and regret in his eyes but he was quick enou
Blame games!Topaz was in the shop as usual carrying out the various commands from her customers. She had fifty deliveries to do today and she was so focused on her work that she didn't hear her phone ring. She was so happy with herself because her business was looking very promising as different orders were the call of the day. She looked around the shop for Jake but couldn't find him. Urghhh! that sneaky boy Topaz thought to herself, he must be somewhere answering his love calls. She was already in the fortieth command when she saw Jake rush in panting heavily and she got scared and thought something was chasing him."Jake! You scared me. Why did you run in like that?" she half yelled." Have you seen the media today?" he asked her looking quite scared."Yes I did, earlier in the morning," Topaz said." No! I mean presently. Like right now" he asked again and now Topaz got worried." No! Why?" she asked reluctantly."Topaz I don't know how to show you this but I don't think it's any
SecretsTopaz did a double take and nearly collapsed as she went pale looking at that face. Her gaze was fixed on that particular spot as she froze. Was it one of her dreams or was she seeing him face-to-face right now?" Topaz! Babe! Babe" Adams shook her vigorously and she turned around and looked at him." Are you alright love?" he asked her noticing that she was not herself. Topaz turned back to that same spot but he was no longer there. It couldn't be a dream, she had seen his face clearly and he was standing right there looking at her with a dangerous look." Umm, what..er! I need water" Topaz stammered and Adams took Topaz immediately from the crowd and into the kitchen where he sat her down on the kitchen counter and gave her a glass of water and watched her drink it all down in a split second. He noticed that she was quivering and looked pale." Topaz! Talk to me are you alright?" Adams asked her again." I'm fine. It's just fatigue" Topaz told him but he didn't seem convince
7 months laterDerek's POV The prison gates opened and I felt the warm air rush through my body as I stood outside and inhaled the cool breeze. Freedom was good. I was in that hell hole now for eighteen months all because of Rico and his gang. Those bastards I would make them pay for putting me through all of these. My sentence was for five years and I was ready to face it but after my tenth month of imprisonment, I started receiving strange calls letting me know that I would be released soon. I wondered who it was and I only feared that it shouldn't be Rico trying to get me out and then kill me but something within me told me it wasn't Rico. Could it be Topaz? No, I don't think so. After the bitch had escaped, she didn't bother contacting me and honestly, I didn't even want her to. I was happier without her and wanted nothing to do with her anymore. She could be dead for all I care. One time I tried to call her, but her number wasn't going through and I decided not to bother myself
The rest of the anniversary went on well as they got to tour new Orleans and explore their good music and culture. There was a music festival in the city and Topaz and Adams went to attend it. While they were in town celebrating with the whole population who had come from different parts of the world, Topaz came across one of those soothsayers or is that what they call them nowadays? The woman called Topaz over and asked her to pick a card. She had heard about the voodoo in New Orleans and declined the woman's offer. The woman told her not to be scared and assured her that it wasn't voodoo of any kind. After thinking for some time, Topaz reluctantly picked a card and gave the woman. She shuffled the cards and finally picked one and smiled and said." You've found true love and happiness and you're lucky you have a man who loves you with all his heart. But I see something like a storm coming to your way trouble coming your way to disrupt your happy lives. You have to brace yourself for
