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
The next morning when he awoke he found that the space where Andre had to be sleeping was vacant and when he walked down to the parlour of the guest house there he found her on her phone he greeted but she didn't respond rather she was making faces and early showing something was wrong so he stopped to her level on the chair and asked, " what's the problem, baby girl?" and she got kissed even more as she couldn't understand why he had not yet understood that what he was doing to her was not the proper way of behaving with your girlfriend so she kind of exploded telling him how hurt and embarrassed she was because of the way he had been es that night he tried to make her understand that she was simply overreacting because he had been busy all week and after a long flight he thought they deserved to go sleep and he also told her not to be bothered about him cheating or not wanting her anymore because he indeed wanted her and he was going to make it up to her one way or another and he k
The next day she went on with her business in the house as though nothing had happened previously because she didn't want to think of her husband having to look for her she was never going to go back to him anyway and she knew that she was going to have to keep herself safe, especially now that she knew nowhere in this town although coming here with him was impromptu but she was happy he had made it to have her come here for this trip together it meant they could have many of such days and she would be happy to have him by her side.She felt bad that she had been thinking he 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 experiencing with him.As he left that money he h
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
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
