"She is okay, she is just stressed," the doctor told Frederick "I will also advise you to prevent whatever would stress her, as it is not good for her in her current condition," the doctor added."I will definitely do that. Thank you," Frederick replied.He shook hands with the doctor and the doctor left. Frederick sat beside Rosaline who was fast asleep. Since they arrived at the hospital yesterday, Rosaline has been asleep. It didn't bother him, as he knew it was all because she was stressed. Rosaline stirred and her eyes flickered, Frederick on seeing this, knew that she was about to wake up. He quickly poured some water into a cup and kept it ready for her, as he knew she would be thirsty once she woke up.Rosaline finally opened her eyes, she looked around, only to see that she was in the hospital. She slowly sat up."How are you feeling?" Frederick asked, announcing his presence to her.Rosaline turned in his direction on hearing his voice. When she saw that it was Frederick, s
"Get out of here," Yvonne yelled.Veronica covered her ears."You haven't changed. You still yell like a psychiatric patient. Take my things upstairs if you have nothing to do.""Honey, who are you shouting at?" Bradley asked, as he left the kitchen and approached Yvonne. He nearly tripped when he saw Veronica who stood smiling widely at him. The smile on his face vanished."What are you doing here?" He questioned.Veronica rolled her eyes."Is that how you welcome your late brother's wife into your home?" She asked."I do not have time for your trouble, Veronica. Leave my house right now," Bradley said."Hey, Andrew," Veronica called, ignoring Bradley's statement.The young man that always followed her wherever she went ran into her."You called me, ma.""Take my bag upstairs. Yvonne will show you where to keep them," She told him."Right, Yvy?" She asked, smirking."Don't ever call me that again," Yvonne spat."Will you show him upstairs or I should just go up there and barge into a
"Mum?" Frederick called to make sure she was still there."Release your cousin from jail," Yvonne finally said."I don't get you, mum," Frederick stated, unable to understand why his mum would ask him to let someone who had nearly ruined him go."Let him go, please," Yvonne pleaded. Her voice was low and pleading. Tears were running down her face as she said this. If only she had been more careful if only she didn't make that mistake in the past, she wouldn't be in this situation now, she thought and let her tears flow without restraint."Did you take alcohol?" Frederick asked."I don't understand why you would suddenly call me on the phone and ask that I release someone that nearly killed me. You are asking me to let the person that ruined my marriage go scot-free," Frederick said."You know what mum. Good night. I don't want to have this conversation with you," Frederick said. Before he could press the hang up button, he heard Yvonne sob."Please, son. Just do this for me. I beg of
"He…he tried to hurt my baby," Rosaline stammered. Hot tears streamed down her face. Frederick's face twisted in anger and disgust and he stormed over to Ashton on the ground.Frederick held Ashton's collar and forcefully lifted him from the ground. He raised his hand to punch Ashton, but Ashton was faster, he punched Frederick's face and blood began to gush out of his nose."Arghh!" Rosaline screamed on seeing this. She pressed herself to one side of the bed and held onto her protruding stomach.Hearing Rosaline scream made all hell break loose. Frederick lost control of himself. He forcefully kicked Ashton's stomach and Ashton staggered and fell to the floor. Frederick sat on top of him. And punched him continuously in anger."How dare you.." PUNCH "Touch my wife." PUNCH"You attempted to kill my unborn child." PUNCH "What kind of brother are you?" PUNCH.Every word he said was accompanied by a punch. Ashton tried to fight back but Frederick was stronger. He summoned all the str
"What the hell is Marcus doing here?" Frederick boomed, he left Ashton and walked over to Marcus."Didn't I tell you to leave Las Vegas and never come close to my family again?" He thundered."Why would my son leave the city, just because you asked him to? Who the hell do you think you are?" Veronica asked and came to stand beside Marcus. She crossed her arm on her chest.Frederick stared at her as if trying to decipher who she was. Then it clicked. He turned to his mum."Who let these two into this mansion?"Before Yvonne could find the right words to answer his question, Veronica replied."I left myself in and I will be staying here till whenever I feel like leaving. And for my son, I brought him here and he stays," Veronica declared.Just then, Bradley arrived."What's going on? Ashton, what happened to you?" He asked."You can ask your favorite son?" Ashton replied and spat blood on the floor."You are missing a tooth," Bradley exclaimed."Whose fault is that?" Ashton questioned i
"I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark all these years," Yvonne pleaded.Frederick turned his back on her."Fred, please listen…""I'm not annoyed with you Mum," Frederick cut her off."You aren't?" Yvonne asked wide-eyed. This was by no means the reaction she expected. She had thought that Frederick would freak out and probably refuse to talk to her ever again."I'm not. Though this whole thing is overwhelming me. It won't cloud my judgment. You did what you thought was right. Who knows, if not because of you I might be dead right now. Thank you, if not for anything but for caring for me like I am really your son," Frederick said.His words brought tears to Yvonne's eyes. "I love you, son," she said in a very emotional voice."I need to clear my head," Frederick said and left the room. Leaving Yvonne alone with Bradley.Yvonne watched Frederick leave with misty eyes."My actions really hurt you, Fred, I can see that," she muttered."Brad, won't you say anything?" She asked Bradley,
Rosaline sat in Yvette's ward in the company of Stanley, Clement, and Yvette. Each of them had a shocked expression, as Rosaline narrated her encounter with Ashton. Her hands were trembling as she narrated, she kept on stammering."Rose, you are trembling," Clement observed."Don't…don't worry about that," Rosaline stammered. She entwined her hands, yet they were still trembling. She ignored them and continued talking."Rosaline, that's enough. Stop talking," Yvette hissed on seeing how shaky Rosaline was. Even the slightest noise made her jumpy."I can't stop. I need to get this off my mind. The mere thought of it frightens me, what would I have done if Frederick didn't arrive in time? I would have lost my baby just like that," Rosaline cried.Clement went closer to her and gently massaged her back."I will massage your legs," Stanley said and bent down then began to gently massage her legs."Hey, Rosa. Look at me," Yvette instructed."You saw how I dealt with those guys, right?" Yvet
"Fred," Rosaline called softly."Yes, baby," Frederick answered."I forgive you," she whispered.Frederick was speechless for a moment. He never expected her to forgive him so quickly. But then, it doesn't matter, her forgiving him this fast was better. He thought and smiled. He hugged her more tightly."Thank you, baby. Thank you. I promise I will be the best husband to you and the best father to our baby when we finally welcome him to the world," Frederick said joyfully."That's exactly why I forgave you, so you can be the best dad to my child," Rosaline said."And the best husband to you as well," Frederick added.Rosaline pulled herself away from his hold."Listen, Fred. I have already gotten over you. And I don't need a husband. I'm only forgiving you because of my unborn. I do not want my child to grow up without a father…""What are you trying to say?" Frederick asked in panic, cutting her off."I believe you understand what I mean. I do not need you in my life, Frederick Mills
