Amber's pov Was my grandma a sorceress? When she first told me that a lady would become pregnant for Adrain because of what was going on in our relationship, I emotionally blushed it out of my mind. I was confident that something like this wouldn't happen, not even by mistake. I was in the backseat of a cab going home. I was so traumatized that I couldn't drive myself. I couldn't stand there, seeing that lady saying words like, “Adrian, I am carrying your baby!” What will be going on in Mr Morgan's mind right now after hearing that someone is carrying his grandchild? He wanted a grandchild and that was what he whispered into my ear when I embraced him. I guess his health is deteriorating. Oh my goodness! I can't imagine what will be happening as I angrily left the room. Will Adrian’s father not show great interest in seeing his grandchild? Would they not immediately admit that lady to check the health of the baby? I could remember, when I was about to leave, Adrian wanted
Amber's pov It wasn't as easy as my grandma had said it, taking Adrian's picture from my mind was a daunting task. All throughout the night, I saw his face and even when my eyes were opened, I could still see his face on the face of anyone I looked at. “Are you still thinking of him?” My grandma asked as I subconsciously paused my cutleries while taking my breakfast the next day. It was so surprising as I felt the strong aroma of my favorite meal in my room. I thought it was a dream until I woke up and saw that it was a reality. My grandma had woken up very early in the morning, while I was still sleeping and started cooking. I hummed as I took a mouth full of food and ate it. My grandma placed his hand on my right lap and caressed it. “Amber, I have somewhere to go, will you follow me?” She asked. “Where?” “Don't worry, just come with me.” “When?” I asked, but she couldn't reply to me immediately because she was chewing her food. “Don't worry, just come with me. I
Amber's pov The text message from Mrs Morgan herself and the request of her husband was something I couldn't turn down. As I kept driving, I was contemplating on what to do. Will my going to see Mr Morgan have a significant effect on him? There was this natural force that kept pulling my mind towards Mr Morgan. It got to a point as I was driving my grandma to the some called unknown destination, I had to slow down and I said, “Grandma, I want to go and see Mr Morgan, I can't take it anymore.” “Are you not sure that message is a trap?” She asked. Her response almost wanted to sway my decision. “Grandma, this is life and I want to go and see Mr Morgan. If I don't, I will condemn myself forever. This was the man who first gave me the money I used to take care of you when you wanted to do the most critical operation in your life. Going there doesn't mean I have connected with Adrian.” Touched by my words, she said, “If that is the case, take me home and go there.” “Please,
Author's pov “Has she picked up your call?” Merit asked her mum as she came back to the sitting room and her mother’s phone was still in her hand. “Hmmm…I can’t say she has answered me. She only told me she will get back to me.” Mrs Williams raised her face and looked at her daughter, who was putting on a very short skirt and a white top. It was in the evening and through the window, they could see the sun settling down. “How long will she get back to you?” She spoke with so much anger and after pacing the right side of the sitting room, she stopped and stood behind one of the couches. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Her mom asked, as Merit’s anger could be seen all over her body. “If you were very serious with what I told you, you would have expressed your anger towards her. How will she disgrace me in front of Adrian and her girlfriend? It’s so embarrassing.” “Are you sure Mrs Morgan did the things you have told me?” “She cannot deny it.” “When all of this wa
Author's pov When the lab scientist said, “congratulations…” Mrs Morgan's heart raced as she didn't know why he was congratulating her. Does he know why she came to do the paternity test initially? He doesn't know, so when he said congratulations, Mrs Morgan was confused. Instead of saying it verbally at first, the man handed her the result on an envelope. “Congratulations on what?” She could still remember these words as the last moment and when the lab scientist said, “Mr Morgan is the father of your daughter.” Mrs Morgan lost it and she fell unconscious. “Doctor!” Nora, her close friend shouted. The lab scientist and Nora rushed her into one of the wards and they immediately started to resuscitate her. “Flora!” Nora shouted as one of the nurses told her to leave the room. The envelope was in Nora's hands as she came out of the room and stayed outside. “Oh my god, please Flora, you need to wake up. Who will I call now?” She asked herself. “I need to tell…” she pause
Author's pov “Why did you lie to me that I will leave here today?” Mrs Morgan said angrily and it was only her friend that was in her room. She had been hostile with her words, and even more angry when she saw Amber. “That was what the doctor said initially.” Then the ringing of Mrs Morgan's phone stopped her friend from speaking. “Your husband is calling you.” “I can't speak to someone that I'm angry at.” Flora said to her friend. “We only have one night to stay at the hospital. It's for your own good. At home in Mr Morgan's house, he was very worried. He had been calling his wife, but she had refused to pick up her call. Mr Morgan was first in his new room downstairs. He had been told by the doctors not to stress himself. So climbing the stairs was seen as stress. He walked out of his room and came to his private sitting room. The first time his eyes saw was the wall clock. “It's about 7pm and my wife has refused to pick up my call. Is there something that everyone is
Amber's pov When I held the lab report in my hands and carefully read the result word for word, I was astounded to see that Mr Morgan is my biological father. How come? Is there anything my grandma is hiding from me or my late mom is hiding from me? I didn't know what to think about? This information has thrown me upside down. I didn't know where to place my thoughts. If my grandma knew about it, why had she not told me all this while? Does that mean that Adrian is my half-brother? I came down from the cab and walked into the house and I felt like an ordinary paper that the wind could blow off. “Grandma,” I paused as I saw her picking up her phone call. I was so deep in thought that I didn't pay attention to my grandma's conversation over the phone. “Amber!” She called and I turned my eyes towards her. “Why are you looking at me like this? Has…” “Grandma, do you really know my dad?” “Your dad? You mean your late date?” She asked. “Yes. What about my mom? Do you
Author's pov “Flora, when are you going to inform Dora about your new plan?” Nora asked. They were outside, under a well spread white umbrella at Nora's house. “I will tell her once my son gives me a meaningful answer. Since I told her about my plan, he said he would get back to me. I love Dora and I want her to be part of my family.” Nora took a sip from her glass of blue wine and after she carefully placed the cup on the table, he said, “Your husband's infidelity has become a blessing in disguise. If your husband hasn't cheated on you, you wouldn't be able to achieve or say what you are demanding.” Flora shrugged and sighed. “He disappointed me. I could swear that he can't do something like that. If I had listened to my thoughts, I would have found out before now. I saw their closeness and I wondered what was happening. My husband Mut had known that Amber was his daughter. I am thinking he knew about it when he was sick at the hospital.” “Flora, that reminds me, what
