View MoreJoseph's POVParking my car in the garage, I came out and went into the house, and Lady Tope Hilary came out of the house, surprised, and asked me, "Sir, didn't you go to work today?"I looked at her, seeing that she was dressed up, and I wondered where she was going too. Most times, I went to work and did not return until the evening when I had closed from work."I went to the office, but I am back. Where are you off to?" I asked her, and she smiled, replying, "I am going for grocery shopping and to also see my son at school.""Alright, be back on time," I told Lady Tope and moved ahead into the house. Going inside, I went to have my bath and to chill out, thinking about how to win Amaka's heart back.Amaka was wrong, and I didn't only consider apologizing to her now because of my father's threat. No, I am far more than that; only it wouldn't be nice if the rumors got to public knowledge that I lost my father's support. Many people in this area and this city as a whole respected my f
Joseph's POVI couldn't believe that Amaka's aunt would threaten to call the police on me. She told me that Amaka was sent away by her parents because I got her pregnant and refused to take responsibility for it."What am I going to do now?" I asked myself as I drove ahead to my company. My head was messed up, and with my father's threat, I knew that I had to come up with something to make Amaka forgive me, but who do I speak to that could help me talk to her on my behalf?Well, even if it was not that my parents had insisted that I try to make up with Amaka and bring my son back home to them, I knew that I was affected by seeing Amaka again. I truly did miss her, but I was not brave enough to say it to her face.I made a turn and drove ahead to Ethan's office. I needed to see him as he was the only person that I hoped would help me win Amaka back, irrespective of the fact that he was also chasing after her.I arrived at Ethan's company, E. and G. Global. It was a big establishment, s
**Amaka's POV** "I already told you that I do not know why Joseph was here," I said to Ethan, not wanting to tell him that Joseph wanted to request a DNA test to know if my son was truly his."That's fine. I will be leaving now for work. Take care," Ethan said before he moved back to his car and got in. I watched him start his car engine and drive off. Sighing, I went back into the house, thinking about how I should handle Joseph's situation.I went to have my bath, and after coming out, I dressed in a black shirt and a white top. I combed my long blonde hair while standing in front of the mirror, then I applied a little touch of makeup on my face.I could recall Joseph's words to Aunt Ann: "I want to marry Amaka now.""Hahaha!" I laughed out loud while looking at my reflection in the mirror."What makes Joseph think that I would want to marry him?" I asked myself, smiling at my reflection as I finished fixing my hair. I grabbed my trusty black handbag, slipped my phone into the zip,
**Amaka's POV**The next morning, I woke up in bed and prepared Jason for school. It was Tuesday, and the weather seemed like it was going to rain. As we were nearing the end of October, I made a mental note to get a school cardigan for my son.After dressing Jason for school, I assisted him with preparing his breakfast before the school bus arrived."Goodbye, Mom," Jason waved happily at me as I watched him get on the bus. There were other kids on the bus, and I waved goodbye once he was seated in the middle and had fastened his seatbelt. The bus drove off.I smiled and went back into the house, preparing for my visit to a new house."Amaka, wow. So you finally registered Jason for the school bus," Lazy Ann said as she came into my room. She was set to leave the house for her shop. She wore a blue tailored dress and black slippers, and I replied, "Yes, ma, to relieve me of stress.""That's good. I'm already heading to my shop. Are you leaving the house today?" she asked, standing by
Amaka's POV.After a few more minutes sitting in the living room of Ethan's home, I stood up and asked the butler, "Mr. Evan, is there a library in here?""Yes, Madam, but it's upstairs beside the master's study," he said."Oh. It's alright. I am fine," I replied, looking away from him and telling Jason to join me outside."Mr. Evan, please tell Ethan that we will be outside waiting for him once he is done," I instructed Mr. Evan, who was standing beside the dining table. The dining table had silver chairs, and it was a beautiful setting. The older man replied, "Okay, Ma'am."Jason and I walked out of the house, and he asked me, "Mom, are we going home now?""Yes, once Ethan is done with what he went upstairs to do," I told him, and he smiled. "Alright."I pulled out my phone and snapped a cool evening photo of myself and Jason against the beautiful backdrop of Ethan's home. His house is so beautiful. As I gazed at the lovely evening photos, Ethan came out of the house and asked me, "
Amaka's POV."Wow!" Jason and I gasped as we entered the living room of Ethan's home. "Your house is so beautiful," I told him, and he grinned, stopping in the living room beside us. He said, "It's a pleasure. I just wanted you to know where I live so that you can come over to see me whenever you feel like it.""Awn. Thank you. But I am not your woman, so I cannot be free to come here any way I please," I told him, and he smiled."Would you like to request anything? Like juice or a malt drink?" he asked as I looked around the white living room again. He had a very large flat-screen television, lovely chandeliers hanging brightly above, and high curtains that I couldn't see the end of, adding to the beauty of his living room. The walls featured paintings of him and lovely flower vases around. It was a beautiful living room with inviting off-white couches."No, I am fine. Jason and I are good," I told him, not wanting to accept a drink from him. An elderly man in a white shirt and blac
Amaka's POV."Which other man?" I asked Mrs. Ann before she left my room. She told me, "Who else? The man you have been laughing with since this morning or the day before.""Mm. Ethan," I mumbled his name, and she said, "Yes. He is outside. When I arrived, I told him that I didn’t know if you were back, but I would check and send for you.""Mmm. What does he want from me? Anyway, let me go see him. I already made jollof rice this afternoon," I told Aunt Ann, and she replied, "Okay. Let me go into my bedroom and freshen up."Aunt Ann left me just as I walked out of my room and down the corridor. Jason was still engrossed in watching his favorite cartoon on the television, thanks to the constant power supply in our home.As I walked out of the house, I was surprised to see Ethan standing beside his black car. I hadn’t noticed his cars before, but he had different types of black cars. "Hi, good evening," I greeted him first, seeing him wearing a white top and short three-quarter blue j
Amaka's POV:"Mommy, why don’t you like my Daddy?" Jason asked me as we entered the compound that led to our apartment."I don't know. Maybe because he is not as handsome as you," I told my son, and he frowned."But he is my Daddy," he innocently replied, to which I said, "I know, but not mine. You saw my Daddy, didn't you?""Yes, we saw your daddy. When are we going to see mine?" Jason asked, and I told him, "Later. Tell me, what did your class teacher teach you today? Did she give you any assignments at all?"I tried to shift the topic, and Jason replied, "Yes. She gave me homework. But I haven't done it. It's two-letter words, so I know that simple homework."I smiled, knowing that Jason had watched a lot of educational kids' channels before he started preschool. He was highly intelligent, but I wondered where he got that intelligence from because Joseph was only obsessed with sex. As for me, I wasn't so sure about my own intelligence. I escorted my son into the apartment we share
Amaka's POV."I don't know yet. I might, I might not, but I have thought about it, and I think the right answer is no. I am not going to get back with him," I told Simon. He replied, "Wow! I'm still surprised to hear this. Can we meet and hang out at least?""No. Well, not today. I have some things I want to handle, including making preparations for a new house that I am planning on renting; also, I have to go pick up my son from school," I told Simon, and he replied, "That's fine. I will call you later to catch up. I'm still in the office now. It's just that I missed you. Or don’t you miss me too?""Well, I do. Take care of yourself, Simon. Bye," I quickly told him and ended the call. Sighing, I resumed eating my food, conscious of the time and knowing that I had to go pick up my son from school.Once I was done eating, I prepared to leave the house. I grabbed my black bag as the time was already 3 p.m. I slipped on my black slippers and headed out for my son's school.Luckily, Etha
**Amaka's POV**I moaned as Joseph thrust into me. This was my eighteenth birthday. I had just graduated from college, and Joseph was my boyfriend. He wouldn't let me be, begging and bothering me for us 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 reluctantly agreed, and here I was in a hotel room with him.I am typically a shy blonde girl and very fair in complexion, but Joseph was the opposite of me. He was dark-skinned, taller than me, and very handsome. He had full black hair, and I loved him very much. While Joseph Ericson came from a very rich family here in Palazo town, my parents were average workers, 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 at the university, while I was still preparing to gain admission and join him there. I had lied to my mother...
