View MoreAmaka'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," she said. She donned 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's meal for him.The food that Joseph had bought for us was a plate of jollof rice and fried chicken. It smelled so delicious, and I could feel my tummy grumble.
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
Joseph's POV.I looked at the middle-aged man who came to meet me and to find out what was happening. As I knew that it was prohibited for anyone to be creating noise or nuisance in an estate."Good morning, Sir. I am here to see my wife and my son," I told him, and his eyes widened in surprise."Oh, is the new tenant your wife, sir? That's fine. Only that I thought you both were quarreling," the man said, but I told him, "No. We are just having a little misunderstanding as we don't live together.""Alright. Have you both settled it? Or do you want me to help you and communicate with your woman? You seem familiar to me like the CEO of JE Global?" The man asked, and my eyes widened in shock."Actually, I am," I introduced myself to the man, and he offered me a handshake."I am Richard Kingsley. I had worked with your father and now controlling my own affiliate company," he said, as we exchanged a handshake.However, Amaka came out just as I replied, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Kingsley
Joseph's POV.I had already made up my mind that I was not going to disturb Amaka again. I had tried to win her back, to apologize to her, and for us to reconcile as a couple. But she doesn't want me, and I cannot force myself on her.However, after I finished having my bath and dressing up, even though I was still on temporary suspension at the company, I had to work on some projects on my computer. My father didn't want me in the company, but I understood his annoyance. It wasn't my fault that Amaka went to have my child on her own, especially when I had told her to take care of it.As I was about to leave my room, dressed in a blue polo shirt and blue jeans, paired with black leather slippers, my phone rang. I went to answer it and saw it was a call from Danna, my sister. I wanted to ignore her call, but a part of me decided to find out why she was phoning me so early in the day. Shouldn't she be at work at the school where she teaches?I picked up Danna's call and moved to my sitt
Amaka's POV.After I finished contacting Simon, I went to the kitchen and prepared a plate of custard for me and my son.I heard a knock on the living room door, and it was already past 7 am.Going to check who was at the door, I was a bit surprised when I saw that it was Jason's school bus driver's assistant."Good morning, Sir," I greeted the middle-aged man in black politely."Good morning, Madam. I am the conductor helping the kids get on the bus. How about your son? Is he not going to school today?" the man asked, and I told him, "No, he is unwell.""Alright. Take care, ma'am," the man said and left. I sighed and went back into the room to meet Jason.He sat at the dining chair, waiting for me to join him."Jason, what's wrong? You don't seem to look so happy, and haven't started eating your meal. Do you want to go to the hospital?" I asked my son, but he slowly shook his head, as he doesn't like the topic of the hospital."No, Mom. I don't want to visit the hospital," he said, t
Amaka's POV."So, when are we going to meet again?" Ethan asked me as we stood beside his black car that he had arrived in."Ethan," I called his name softly. "I don't know when we can meet again. As for tomorrow, I do not think I am going to work. I want to go to the courthouse to file a complaint and to proceed with my child custody case with Joseph. So I will be busy," I explained, meeting Ethan's curious gaze."I understand," he replied. "I just want to be close to you. It's alright. I have a lawyer. How about I contact him for you? It will reduce the stress of you going to the courthouse and filing the complaint.""Alright. I will be expecting the lawyer's call. If I don't deal with Joseph, he might think he can just force his way back into my life," I grumbled, and Ethan smiled."Wouldn't Joseph suspect that you're the one helping me if you help me get a lawyer? Would that not cause an issue between the two of you?" I asked Ethan, meeting his eyes."No," Ethan moved closer to me
Amaka’s POVI picked Jason up and took him to his room so he could sleep comfortably on the bed.The night was still young—it was only 8 p.m.I wasn’t ready to sleep, so I went back to the living room and sat on the soft mattress I had laid on the red rug.Just as I settled down and changed the television channel, I heard the doorbell.Who could it be? I mumbled as I moved to the door to see who was standing there.I saw my neighbor, Janet Moore.“Hi,” I greeted her as I opened the door.“Good evening, Amaka. How was your day? I just got back from work and came to check on you to see if you were already home,” Janet said, grinning as she donned a bodycon red dress and black shoes. She clutched a large black handbag on her shoulder, too.“Yeah, I’m back. I’m sorry I didn’t stop by your shop today. I was in a hurry because I didn’t want my son to be home alone. I even arranged for his school bus to bring him home so that I could be at ease,” I explained, and she smiled understandingly.
Amaka's POV:Jason’s blue eyes were full of tears as I helped him with his bath. He didn’t want to communicate with me and glanced away.“Jason,” I softly called as I helped him with his night bath.“It’s not that I don’t want your dad, but you don’t understand what your dad did to me, do you?” I asked, and he looked at my face.My heart softened as I met his blue eyes and his cute, light‐skinned face.“No. But you already sent Dad away,” he said, crying, and I sighed.“Fine. After school, you can go to your dad’s house on Saturdays and Sundays. Are you okay with that?” I asked him, even though I knew Jason would refuse unless I agreed to stay with him at Joseph’s place.“Will you come with us?” Jason asked. I shook my head and responded, “No. I have other work to do.”Jason sighed and didn’t say anything. I finished bathing him, brought him back to the room, and helped him dress in his white pyjamas.Jason went to bed to sit down while I told him, “You can watch your favorite cartoon
Amaka's POV:As closing hour arrived, I turned off the company's laptop on my desk that I had been working with and set to leave for home."Wait, Amaka. Since you are not living in that old estate, where is your new home address so that I can give you a ride to your house?" Simon said, as he walked out of his office chair and peered at my face."Is that necessary? I don't want it to look like I am leading you on and I am not doing anything to entertain you," I said, and his face dropped."Can you stop it with the accusations? It feels like you are the one personally pushing me away. I just want to be your friend, and I never complained to you that you are using me or I am not getting any gifts in return for my kindness. Please..." Simon said, and I sighed."Fine." I told him the estate where I now reside, and he checked the map with his phone."It's not far from here. So I will drop you off. Come, let's go," Simon said, and I shook my head and followed him out of the office.As we wal
Amaka's POV,"Ah!" 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 me and disturbing 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 do 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, and very 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 Palazzo town that 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 t...
