FunThe next day she went on with her business in the house as though nothing had happened previously she was a drama queen but she decided to let this one slide. She knew Adams to the back of her hand and she knew something is wrong but it could still be due to stress from work. All she wanted was just to spend this week with her baby Adams and be well taken care of but there was one thing hindering her, his mother. She wasn't comfortable staying here with his mum around especially with what she demanded from him. Now she has to be cautious with what she says, wears or does. She felt bad that she had been thinking Adams was cheating when he was just overwhelmed with work and that was the reason why she was thinking he was having an affair with someone she couldn't believe she was wrong their relationship was skyrocketing and the only thing that was left at this point was for them to get married so that she could swim in the wealth of his family she was super happy for what she was e
Doubts!After what happened yesterday with Adams, topaz couldn't help but wonder why they had to live in separate houses. She wasn't comfortable living alone with all that had happened especially when she had a baby on the way. She was always watching her back every minute except when Adams was around. with him, she felt safe and didn't need to worry about anything but what if this whole thing backfires and everything goes south? Was she doing the right thing? Topaz couldn't help it as a series of doubts rushed through her mind. She decided to stop worrying for the sake of this baby and live life to the fullest." I've to be strong for you Lil man or girl" it was too early to know the sex of the baby but she hoped it would be a boy. Deciding to distract herself, she went into the garden as she loved nature. The weather was so beautiful today and her hands were itching to do some earthwork. After getting the tools she needed from Agatha, under much persuasion, she quickly changed into
Trouble in paradise!Running as fast as her legs could carry her, she ran in the woods till she was out of breath. The place was so dark and she had no torch with her. She scurried through the dark woods and suddenly stopped when she heard a growl. With everywhere so dark, she couldn't see anything and she secretly hoped whatever made that noise was very far away from her. She didn't know where she was going, all she knew was she had to get out of here as soon as possible before she gets caught. Trying to mind her steps, she heard the same growl this time clearer and closer than the last. Then out of nowhere, a wolf jumped in front of her, his eyes looked dangerously red and his teeth were all out, hungry for blood. " what do you want?" she asked shakily."You can't run away from me babe, I will find you and the baby no matter how much you run or hide, I will find you." he said approaching her." Leave my baby out of this, you'll never find me. I'm done with you." she said while holdi
Andrea was restless, she had tried calling Adams over a million times but he wasn't answering. At a certain point, she noticed his mobile was switched off. What was going on? Last night when they got back from dinner, she was in the mood for good sex. She seduced him and they started making out, she noticed he wasn't responding like he usually does. All of a sudden, she found herself on the ground with a loud thud. He came up with a lame excuse of his mother being around, who was he trying to fool? She knew Adams well enough to know that when he was horny, he didn't give two flying fucks even if his dying grandmother is in the next room. That's how extreme he could go when he gets hard. She even tried a second comeback, but to no avail, he avoided her like she was a deadly plague. Even after he left the room, she waited for his return but he didn't come back. Everything wasn't making sense to her this was not like Adams. She needed explanations and she needed them right now. While wa
Moving onWith birds chirping outside and the reflection of sunlight through the window, Adams opened his eyes as he woke up from his drunken sleep. He recalled all that happened previously from the argument to how he found himself in his house. He owed Topaz an explanation and he felt guilty for his behaviour towards her yet she was still very caring and patient with him, trying to give him some space while trying to figure out what was going on with him. He remembered having too much to drink hence he forgot what happened during the rest of the night. He secretly hoped he hadn't said or done anything hurtful to Topaz as he noticed he was only in his boxers. Walking to the bathroom, he had a shower while promising himself to get over the memories of Andrea and focus on his current situation with Topaz and the baby on the way. He wasn't in the mood to go to the office today so he got dressed and made his way downstairs looking for Topaz. Of course, she was in the garden as usual. She
New beginningsShe was a very beautiful woman, with that type of body, Topaz guessed she was a model. She was nothing compared to her. Topaz's beauty did not even match hers now she saw why Adams was tripping for this woman. But Topaz promised herself not to be intimidated by her, she held her head up high and with a grin she said " And you are?" Andrea was fuming because she couldn't believe Adams would leave her for someone like the person who stood in front of her. When she got to the hotel room last evening, she began doing some findings. She knew it was a woman but she wanted to be certain. She even had to go as far as bribing Cameron, one of Adams's chauffeurs, the one who took her to the hotel, and the bastard gave up his master's secret without a fight. So Adams has been lying to her all this while, giving shitty excuses about his house, his stupid family and worst of all he used her attitude as an escape route damn you, Adams. But as she said, she's not and will never give hi
This was the day Topaz was going to meet Adams' mum. She was so excited because he had told her alot about his family especially his mum. Every month, his family had a small gathering where they meet up with each other for brunch and see how everyone is doing and it was also a way to bond with the extended family. She loved this type of reunion, unfortunately she'd never had a big family neither had she witness such family gathering and she just hoped she would fit. She was nervous as to what she should wear or say or do but Adams told her to be herself that she was a naturally lovable and everyone would adore her. So she wore a flowery maxi yellow dress and a pair of gold sandals then she curled up her hair and applied some mascara and lip gloss. She wasn't a fan of makeup, she only did heavy makeup when there were special occasions and since she wanted to make a first good impression, she decided to go natural. She came downstairs and Adams was already dressed. He looked so handsome
Smiles!Jade made her entrance known as she came in and greeted everyone. She was beautiful and took over her mum's beauty, she looked like a fun person and very outgoing too. All the little kids rushed to greet her and she could see why, because she had kept him all sort of candy bars." I've told you to stop giving too much sweets to these kids, it's not healthy for them" Samantha said." Relax, grandma Samantha I don't get to see my sweet nieces and nephews everyday its the least I can do for them and also to make them feel they have lovely aunties" she replied. It looked like Samantha was the mother hen of them all, scolding her brother Sam when he acted like a child, pampering Anthony when he acted like a baby and putting the others on the right track when they went astray. She was the matured one after Adams. Jade came up to Adams and they both hugged each other." I've missed you terribly terribly much big brother" Jade said. Adams had told her she was a photographer so she tra
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
