View MoreAmaka's POV:
"Ahh!" I moaned as Joseph thrust into me. This was my 18th birthday. I had just graduated from college, and Joseph was my boyfriend. He wouldn't leave me alone, constantly begging and disturbing me to have sex.
I had told him that I wanted to wait until after our marriage, but Joseph refused. He claimed that I did not love him enough, and that was why I didn't want to sleep with him. I agreed, and here I was in a hotel room with him.
I am typically a shy blonde girl, fair in complexion, but Joseph was the reverse of my complexion. He was dark in complexion, taller than me, and very handsome. He has full black hair, and I really love him very much. While Joseph Ericson came from a very rich family here in Palazo town where we were living, my parents were average workers, and so we were considered not as well off as Joseph's family.
Joseph promised to marry me. He was 21 years old and a business student in the university, while I was still preparing to gain admission and to join him there. I had lied to my mother that I was going to see my friend, just so I could prepare to write my admission exam into the university. I snuck into this hotel to see Joseph, and here we are.
"Um! Ah!" I moaned as Joseph drove into me faster and moaned to my ears, "Yes, babe. You are so sweet." He reached his climax and released himself in me.
"Joseph, it hurts," I cried as he kissed me warmly and sat beside me on the hotel bed. "I am sorry, my love. I will forever cherish this," he said, cupping my pretty face as he kissed my forehead. "I cannot seem to get enough of you. I wish we could get married, and I wouldn't leave you," he said, and I wiped my teary eyes and looked at his handsome face as we were still laying on the hotel's bed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked him, and he sighed. "Look, Amaka, I want you to know that I love you very much. But my family and I are moving to the city next week. You know that my father owns a big company there. So he informed my siblings and me that he acquired a new mansion, which means that I would be leaving with them, and we might not get to see each other again."
My eyes welled up in tears as I heard Joseph say that to me.
"But you will still be calling me on the phone, right?" I asked him, as I tried to believe that Joseph wouldn't get to the city and fall in love with another woman there. I love him very much. He is like the air that I breathe. My heart and soul wanted him.
"I promise you, I wouldn't forget about you. Anytime that I am on vacation, I will come around to see you. Instead, I will lodge in the hotel, okay. You are my wife, stop crying," Joseph wiped my tears away and drew closer to me on the bed as he kissed me on my lips again.
I was crying and not in the mood to kiss him. "Why not take me home with you? Tell your parents that I am your girlfriend, and you wish to marry me. You have been hiding me all the time and not wanting to introduce me to your mother," I told him, knowing that whenever I told Joseph that I wanted to come and see him at his family's house, he would refuse.
None of his siblings knows that we are dating, and I feel so awkward chatting with his brother online and introducing myself to him as Joseph's girlfriend.
"My elder brother is not in any relationship," Aaron would say.
Joseph practically kept me hidden, and I don't know how long he planned to continue doing that.
"No, Amy. I promise you, when the time is right, I will take you home and introduce you to my family. If I do that now, my parents will get annoyed and give my inheritance to my younger brother. I have to first get established, and after that, I promise you we will get married," Joseph said, wiping my sobs away. I wished that I could believe him, but I have this lingering feeling that Joseph is lying to me.
Was he lying to me? Does he have another woman in his life? My heart became so heavy that I had just lost my virginity to him before I thought about all these. Joseph kissed me again and thrust into me before my mind could register to ask him. I groaned in pain with each deep thrust, and there he took me to cloud nine with him...
***
Four years later.
Amaka's POV:
"Mom, when are you taking me to school?" My son asked me. He was so smart compared to me, and he will be four years old in a week.
"Jason, you are still a baby and not fit to go to school now," I told him as I was preparing for my new job interview.
"That's a lie, Mom!" He shouted. I sighed, rolled my eyes as I stood by the vanity mirror of my room, combing my long blonde hair and applying my orange perfume.
"Jason, why would Mommy lie to you? Have you seen babies going to school? You have to stay at home with my friend," I told him, and he frowned.
"Mommy..." Jason burst out crying hard, and my best friend, Maureen Austin, came into the room.
"What's going on here, Amaka? What did you do to my small husband?" She asked me as she scooped Jason up into her arms.
After I got pregnant, my parents chased me away and refused to sponsor my education. I tried calling Joseph then to tell him that I was pregnant, but guess what? He blocked my line and told me to get rid of it and that he wasn't ready to father a child.
I couldn't do that. I had to beg my friend for help. She is a tailor and into blogs, so she pleaded with her mother, who was a single mother, and her mother allowed me to live with them.
Later, I started creating blogs too, as Maureen told me I could be doing it as a part-time job at home. With that, my page has millions of followers as I created a baby page for my son and uploaded cute photos about him.
Many fans love Jason. He was light-skinned, just like me, but while I had long blonde hair, he has short light brown hair.
Amaka's POV: "Amaka, I am not asking you to forgive Joseph. But you know that he is my best friend, and I know Joseph well. These days, I think he is more affected by seeing you again, and you should give him a chance at least, a second chance to prove his worth again." Ethan kept his face focused on the road as he drove his black SUV away. I sighed, still not responding to his advice. "It's well," Ethan muttered as he drove back to the island where my rented apartment was. "Are you bothered that Joseph would want to fight with you if he is so serious about his new-found feeling for me?" I queried Ethan, and he laughed aloud. "He is already fighting me, and he hadn't hung out with me since you showed up in our lives. Honestly, I sometimes wished that I had met you before Joseph did. He doesn't deserve you, at least. Let me be honest. You are too decent for a bad boy like him. So, I cannot blame you for the decision that your heart desires." "Mmm," I was silent as I knew that
Amaka's POV:I stood up from the couch and went to give Joseph's mother my bank account details, and they made the transfer into my account. Once I had confirmed the money, I thanked the Ericsons once more, even when it wasn't what I wanted.Joseph was smiling as if he had won my heart, but I had my reservations as I saw his two aunties looked happy."I have received the money, sir," I let Joseph's father know, and he nodded."That's fine. I want you to use that as compensation for what our son did to you. And we hope that you can always come to visit us whenever we have any family activities," Mr. Ericson said, and I nodded sadly."I will. I have to get going home now." I wanted to leave, and Joseph's mother said, "Why don't you join us for lunch before leaving?""No, Ma'am. I am not hungry. I have a running stomach, so I am always mindful of what I eat outside," I told Mrs. Hannah politely, and she smiled sadly, as she wanted to make amends for the past."It's alright. Since you do
Amaka's POV "Can we get going, please?" Joseph asked me, and I peered at his face and replied, "Alright."I took out my phone and contacted the Uber driver, and I apologized to him. "Hello, sir. I won't be able to go with you again. As I already cancelled the trip. Can I make a refund to you?""It's alright, Madam. You don't have to worry about the payment," the Uber driver said. I marched to get into the back seat of Joseph's car.I saw Joseph smiling, but I rolled my eyes and looked away."Mommy," Jason smiled at me from the front passenger seat, as he was happy to be sitting in the front seat beside Joseph.The car was filled with Joseph's cologne, and I sat in a tight corner, trying to do some breathing exercises to distract my nose from his intoxicating scent."Can you unlock the car windows?" I asked Joseph, after seeing that the car was an automatic."Anything for you," Joseph replied with a calm voice, but I didn't bother to correct him, since he had unlocked the car windows.
Amaka's POV:As I woke up in my room, I sighed and got out of my bed as I made preparations for my son and me to visit Joseph's mother.If it wasn't that I had made the promise that I would visit them, I would have canceled it because Jason was not feeling well.I went to have my bath in the bathroom, and as I got out, I donned a blue top and black trousers, and also a black pair of shoes. Then I moved over to the mirror to do my makeup.I saw that I had a little acne due to the stress that comes with working. I didn't apply makeup, so I made use of my tinted lip gloss and went to my son's room to check on him.Jason was still asleep on the bed, and I recalled how I had gone to Joseph's house to bring him back.Sighing, I gently went to wake my son and to assist him with his bath.His body temperature was back to normal, and he had eaten well the night before.Helping Jason to undress, I prepared a warm bath for him and took him into the bathroom to wash up.A few minutes later, Jason
Joseph's POV."Wow! That was a rude way to speak to us!" Danna yelled, but Amaka didn't glance back as she walked away with Jason in her arms, who waved goodbye to me."It's fine, sister. She is just angry with me," I looked back at Danna and her friend and smiled."Why is she still being cold to you? I honestly do not like how she is behaving rudely. And I honestly think that you should move on and forget about her and her son," Danna said, taking me by surprise, and I laughed and looked at her."I cannot believe that you are saying this to me, Danna. Weren't you the one who was clamoring for me to marry Amaka and unite with my son? And now, you're telling me that I should forget about them?" I queried my sister, and she sighed."I was. But she is still cold to all of us and even you. So it's a waste. Anyway, meet my friend, Clara Martin. She is Jason's class teacher in school," Danna introduced me to her friend, who smiled."It's nice to meet you, Ms. Martin," I told her, and she gr
Joseph's POV.As we arrived at the house, I rang the doorbell, and Lady Tope pulled the huge black door open and gasped, "Wow! Boss, is he your son?""Yes, he is my little boy. He lives down the street with his mother in this estate," I told Lady Tope with a smile, and she waved at my son, telling him, "Hello.""Good afternoon, Ma," Jason politely greeted her, and Lady Tope waved at him and asked him, "What's your name?""Jason.""It's nice to meet you, Jason," Lady Tope said, and my son shook hands with her. I smiled and asked him, "Do you want to tour the house?""Mmm," Jason smiled and nodded."Yes, Dad. Where is your own room? Do you sleep in this big house alone? It's big like Uncle Ethan's house," Jason said, and I froze."What? Did Amaka take you to Uncle Ethan's house?" I squatted to meet my son's height and asked him."Yeah. My mom says that Uncle Ethan wants to be my new daddy. But I don't know if that's possible," Jason said, and I sighed with relief. As I hadn't thought th
Amaka's POV."How is your son doing now?" Simon asked, as I had already updated him earlier that I was not going to the company.It was past 5 pm in the evening, and I guessed Simon had taken permission to come and see me."He is fine. Thank you for coming," I greeted Simon, smiling, and he said, "We are friends. So what do you expect."Simon's eyes shifted to look at Ethan, who was peering at him, and he greeted Ethan, "Good evening, sir.""Welcome," Ethan mumbled."I have to go and check on my son. You shouldn't have stressed about coming to see us," came my calm response to Simon, and he grinned."I cannot help it. I just wanted to see your lovely face," Simon teased, and Ethan scowled. "Amaka, I should get going now. Take care.""Alright," I told Ethan, and watched him walk out of my residence as he packed his car outside my house."Are you both dating?" Simon asked after Mr. Ethan left."That shouldn't be your concern," I told Simon, and he sighed."Alright. I just came to check
Amaka's POV: "Ugh," I grimaced and rolled my eyes at Joseph's happy voice of waving goodbye to my son. As I got into the gate, I was surprised to come across Janet Moore. "Oh, good afternoon, Ms. Moore. Didn't you go to your shop today?" I asked her with a look of surprise, and she grinned. "I did. I came home to get some food. As I don't like to eat out, and the food I had was already cold," Janet said, donning a yellow top and black skirt. And I told her about taking Jason to the hospital. "Oh, I hope he is fine now?" Janet asked me with concern, and I nodded. "Yes, he is., aright. Take care," I waved goodbye to Janet as my son and I went back into my house. My mind filled with numerous thoughts on why Joseph was acting like a caring father. I swiftly waved the thought and went in. As I entered the living room, I set Jason down on the mattress and have him eat his meal. The jollof rice and fried chicken food that Joseph had bought for us, smelled so delicious, and I could fee
Amaka's POV:At the doctor's office, Dr. Steven smiled and offered for Jason and me to have a seat. As he recommended that my son perform some series of tests.We had to wait for the test results to arrive. However, when we got back into the doctor's office, after returning from the lab where my son went to do some malaria test.Dr. Steven, in a white lab coat and black trousers, smiled and told me, "Mrs. Richard, your son is having only malaria, and that is a result of the mosquito bite."As Doctor Steven relayed that to me, I looked at the door that pushed open, and Joseph came in. But I didn't spare him a glance at all. What caught my attention was the female nurse smiling at Joseph. As Dr. Steven in charge asked her, "Who is he? Nurse Tina?""Oh, Doctor Steven. This is Mr. Ericson, the child's father," she pointed to my son with a smile, and Dr. Steven looked at Joseph and told him, "You are welcome, sir. Please have a seat. As we are just meeting for the first time since your chi
