Mr. CEO I can't Be Hidden Anymore Chapter 24
Joseph's POV.I finished having my bath and came out of the bathroom. The thought of having a son that I didn't know about still troubled me, and I tried to push that aside to the back of my mind.A knock on my room door interrupted me as I was drying my body with the white towel in my hand. I swiftly wrapped the towel around my waist and marched up to the door to find out who was there. Probably Lady Tope was there and trying to call me out for dinner.It was already past 7 p.m., so I pulled the door open and met gaze with Nina.She wore a sleek white night dress that accentuated her feminine shape, and she blushed just as I pulled the door open and locked gaze with her."Hi," Nina said, smiling."I came to call you for dinner," she said, and I replied to her, "Fine. I will be downstairs soon."Nina still stood by the door instead of giving me privacy to go in and dress up."You can wait for me at the dining table," I said, snapping her out of her trance. Her cheeks flushed red, and I

Nina's POV.After I had finished dressing up in my bedroom, donning a white night dress and black slippers, I walked out of the guest room given to me as my room, then I made my way to the dining room to see if Tope had set up our dinner.I let my blonde hair cascade down my back to dry up, then I saw that Lady Tope was done setting up our dinners.I smiled at her and walked up to the dining table to meet her.After I had conversed with Lady Tope and gotten to know that she had a child out of wedlock, I had more respect for her, knowing that it wasn't easy being a single mother. Yet she cared for others and set her work above herself.The way she worked happily for Joseph made me wonder if she had any interest in him. But I got to realize that Lady Tope was just happy and focused on her job."Is dinner ready?" I asked her once I walked into the dining room to meet her."Yes. I am done preparing the yam and stew as you requested," she said."Alright, let me go and call Joseph. Or will y

Nina's POV:"Good morning, ma," Lady Tope greeted me, and though I had corrected her the last time, this time I didn't bother to correct her."Morning. How was your night?" I asked, to which she said, "It was fine.""Should I prepare your breakfast?" She asked."Yes. Just a plate of custard and milk will do. Can you prepare it?" I asked her politely, and she replied, "Yes.""Alright," I looked away from Lady Tope as she exited the dining room and went back to the kitchen to get my breakfast.A few minutes later, Joseph came downstairs in a black suit as usual. He wore a black pair of shoes, and his handsome black face wasn't smiling, even as he looked breathtakingly good."Good morning, babe," I said to him with a cute blush on my face, and he replied, "Morning. How was your night?""It was fine," I said, watching him approach the dining table to join me."Are you going to have custard, as that is what I asked Lady Tope to prepare?""She has the timetable for what to serve. But if tha

Joseph's POV:"No, it's okay. I have already spoken to Amaka, and calling her again wouldn't be nice because she seemed already embarrassed after you scolded her. So just act like you don't know she exists. I cannot date her, if that's what you're thinking about." I had to clear the air between Amaka and me, and I couldn't believe that Nina would react that way when we arrived at the company and saw Amara getting out of Simon's car again.My brows had furrowed upon seeing them. I wondered if Amaka was dating Simon now. Was that how loose she had become after I moved on from her?I knew I was Amaka's first, but I didn't want to tell Nina that I had dated Amaka before, and it was in the past. That would complicate things. After Nina had spoken to Amaka rudely, not minding the staff and customers arriving, I had to call Amaka and speak to her by telling her not to be disrespectful to Nina.It was the hardest thing I had to do to make peace reign. Amaka didn't want to look at me when

Amaka's pov.I had not expected to be bullied by Joseph's fiancée. What did she take me for?She had to refer to me as "Hey you."I was stunned because I was not expecting that, or expecting her to call me.Not only that, Joseph also called me and told me to stay away from his fiancée and respect her."Okay," I had replied to Joseph, knowing that he had been pretending not to know me well. I intended to confront him today about our child.My son.Joseph needed to know that he is a father. Even though he had asked me to get rid of the pregnancy in the past, I think it's the right time I finally inform him about the pregnancy.I saw Simon answer the call before he left the office, and when he returned, he had a solemn look on his face."What happened, Simon?" I asked him, just to know what he went to do. Since he said that the Boss actually called him to his office."It's nothing. I'm fine," Simon replied, and I looked at him, wondering if the boss had cautioned him about me."Did the b

Amaka's POV."My goodness! What happened Amaka? Where are you coming from?" Simon asked. I was sure that my face was a total mess. But I didn't want to tell him just yet."I am sick for today. So I have to go home," I said, making a mental note to go and pick up Jason since I am leaving for work early."Oh my goodness. But you just left here now in good shape and looks. How come you're looking so red? Are you sure that you're fine?" Simon asked again, and I gave a nod and replied, "Yes. I am fine. I will be back tomorrow."I knew I wasn't going to come back here again, as I cannot stand Joseph. His pretense and lies.I cannot be a part of him. So I signed out of my profile page on the company's laptop and shut it closed.Simon stood watching me as I grabbed my bag and angrily left the office. I was done and I cannot be here. I had a peaceful life, not until I decided to look for a job.My blog was paying me massively, and also, some other advertisements I did on my own before.I quick

Joseph's POV:After Amaka had dashed out of my office just as Aaron came in unexpected and called her by her name. I was shocked that he knew Amaka's name. Where did they meet?"Babe, what's going on here?" Nina asked, and Aaron snapped out of his trance and turned to look at her."Hi, I am Aaron, Joseph's younger brother," he stretched his hand and accepted Nina's right hand in a handshake, and she replied, "Nina. Nice to meet you.""Nice to meet you too. I heard that you both are getting married next month, so I returned home for the wedding," Aaron kept discussing with Nina, trying to shift her mind away from the conversation about Amaka and what she was doing in my office before he and Nina entered."Alright." Nina forced a fake smile and smiled at Aaron. Then she looked at me with a questioning look on her face."Babe, what was that woman doing in here again and why do you look so tense and she appeared red?" Nina didn't want to drop the topic, and I looked at her as I was still

Joseph's POV,"I don't need a DNA test to prove if that child is mine. The baby doesn't resemble me," I told Aaron, and he laughed out loud."Must your children look like you? Anyway, I came here to congratulate you on your engagement, and now, it seems like the engagement has become ruined."I looked at Aaron's face without saying anything to him as I went back to my office seat and sat down."I have to be on my way home, bro. I called Danna and told her that I am back. She said she's at school and cannot come now to welcome me. I have to go home. Take care, bro, and try to sort the child out. Besides, when you were dating many pretty women, you ought to have been careful."I didn't reply to Aaron and watched him leave my office. My mind was filled with thoughts on how Amaka had kept the pregnancy and never told me about it.She had mentioned that her family sent her away and she had been through a lot because of me.My mother will be angry once she finds out about this. Although, I

Amaka's POV.Upon my arrival at the company, I arrived early, at around 7:45 am. I signed in with the receptionist and went up to the fifth floor where my office with Simon's was."Good morning," I greeted Anita Edwards as I saw her in her office, arranging some files on her desk.Ms. Anita glanced at me and frowned as she pretended like she didn't hear my greeting.I looked at her again and paused to greet her properly, before I would move over to the security man to take the key from his hands, since Simon had not arrived yet."Anita, I am greeting you," I finally called her by her name, and she paused and looked at me.She donned a crisp white shirt and black straight skirt and scowled. "I heard your greeting. Must I respond to you?" She queried, her tone sharp."Yes. Because it's a new day, and we are not enemies," I told her calmly, but she hissed."I already told you not to show up here. Why did you still come to work today?" She demanded, and I looked at her face in disbelief.

Amaka's POV.The next day, I set off to take Jason to his school."Mom, when is my dad going to come and live with us?" Jason asked me, his voice soft and nervous as he peered at my face.I stood in front of him, helping him to comb his short light brown hair, and I sighed."Do you want to go and live with your Dad? His house isn't far from here," I told Jason as he became quiet."I don't like your Dad, and I don't want to go and live with him," I told my son, knowing that he might not understand me."But he is my Daddy? Will he beat me?" Jason asked, but I shook my head and told him, "No. He wouldn't, especially now that he knows that you are his son. He will take good care of you."I recalled how hurt Joseph looked when I sent him away from my house the previous day. I didn't want to see him or get close to him, not because of my son that I should just forgive him after everything that he had put me through.He pretended like he didn't know me, and even if Nina wasn't a good woman o

Amaka's POV:"Let's go in. Don't mind Jason. He will calm down," I told Ethan as I walked up to meet him.Although Ethan had a calm look on his face and I couldn't read his mind, I assumed that he wasn't happy with his friend's visit, but he masked it well."Fine. Let's go in. I still want to have a taste of the delicious rice and chicken pepper soup," Ethan replied, and we went into my apartment together.Although Jason had stopped crying, his face still looked sad. I gave him his food to eat, but he refused to eat while I fed him.The dining table fell into an awkward silence as Ethan silently ate the food.I fed Jason and ate along with him, and after a while, Jason's mood improved, and he reached for the spoon to feed himself."I can eat on my own, Mom," he said, taking the spoon from my hand, and I let him be.I sighed, focused on my food, and continued eating.After dinner, I stood up to clear the plates, and Ethan asked me, "Should I assist you in the kitchen?""No, I am fine,"

Amaka's POV:As I walked out of my house gate to wait for Ethan's arrival, I saw Joseph pulling in with his car at the same time.His black car slowed down just as Ethan's car came to a stop in front of my new house gate."Hey, Amaka," Ethan waved at me, unaware that Joseph had slowed down and was peering at us.I swiftly looked away from Joseph's face and went to unlock the gate for Ethan to drive in.Once Ethan drove his black car into my new compound and parked, I locked the gate and went to welcome him.I didn’t bother to look at Joseph’s face, not caring whether he was angry about seeing his friend at my place.If only I had the heart to love another, I would have fallen for Ethan to use him to get my revenge on Joseph."Hi, welcome to my new house," I told Ethan once he parked his black car and got out to look around.Ethan wore a white polo and black jeans, paired with white canvas shoes, as he smiled."Wow! I wasn't expecting you to live around here. Although Joseph's house is

Amaka's POV:I finished preparing dinner and saw that it was after 5 PM. I left the kitchen and called my son's school headmistress to arrange for him to return home on the school bus since I wasn't able to go to his school and pick him up.As soon as I finished the call with the headmistress, my phone rang again, and it was a call from Ethan."Hello," I answered, and his deep voice came through."How are you doing, Amaka? Are you still in the hospital with Joseph?" he asked, but I shook my head and replied, "No. I am at home now.""Okay. So how did the test results go? Did they show that Joseph is the true father of your son?" Ethan pressed, and I sat in the dining room chair, waiting for my son to return home so that we could have dinner together."Yes, it proves that Joseph is the father of my child," I said, trying not to break down at the thought of it."Do you want to get back with Joseph now that he has seen proof that your son is truly his?" Ethan asked."No. I don't want him,

JOSEPH'S POVI knew the test result would be positive, but I wanted to be sure—and for my parents to be sure as well—that Jason is indeed my child."Joseph," Mom called me as we stepped out of the hospital and strode towards our car."Yes, Mom," I said, sighing and turning around to face her."Do you want to get back with Amaka and marry her instead of considering a new woman?" Mom asked me politely, and I sighed."That depends on if Amaka will forgive me or not, Mom. I am not so sure, but if she does, I want to get married to her. I already made this promise to her in the past, and I guess it's fate that is playing a trick on us," I said, smiling sadly as I recalled the past where I made a promise to Amaka that I would marry her and no one else."Alright. Just try again and see if you both can be together and have more kids together. But I can see that she is still angry with you." Mom had a distant look on her face as she watched the hospital gate that was left open for cars to driv

AMAKA RICHARD.Joseph walked up to his car door and gently pulled the back door open for me to enter. I looked away from his face, holding my breath as I didn't want to inhale his masculine scent.Dammit. I didn't want to be reminded of that moment four years ago when I foolishly fell for him and believed him.I thought he was genuine about his feelings for me, and I could hardly understand why he cut me off. Just like that. The memory stung, but I swiftly discarded the thought of him as he shut the side door of the back seat and got into the front driver's seat.The black car was filled with his scent as it was a brand new vehicle and still had most of the nylon wraps on the seats.Joseph got into the driver's seat and reminded me in his deep voice, "Fasten your seat belt.""Mmm..." I exhaled and did the same, and he started his car and drove ahead to the hospital.The drive to the hospital was silent as only the car engine and other cars passing by us on the way filled my eardrums

AMAKA RICHARD.The day went by quickly, and the time for the DNA test result came out.It was Wednesday morning, I was supposed to go to work, but Joseph called me and asked me to come directly to the hospital so that I wouldn't think that he had altered the result.My fist clenched as I didn't appreciate him calling me on the phone, and he used another number to contact me, making me wonder how many phone numbers he had.I first prepared Jason for his school and dressed him in his school uniform."Mom, aren't you going to work today?" Jason asked me, seeing that I was still in mufti and not set to go to work."Yeah, Jason. I am not going to work today. I am going to the hospital to check the test result to show to your Daddy that you are really his son," I said, and he looked at me thoughtfully."Does Dad think that I am not his son?" My four-year-old son asked me."Jason," I caressed his cheek as I was done preparing his tea."You won't understand, but he doesn't think that way. Exc

Joseph's POV.I awoke in my room and sat up on my bed. As I was about to go into the bathroom to freshen up and leave for the company, I got a phone call.When I went to pick it up, I saw my father's lawyer was the one calling me. My brows furrowed, but I answered it to know why he was calling me."Hello, good morning," I greeted him coldly, trying to control my rage. My father was really getting on my nerves with his insistence that I must marry Amaka. For goodness' sake, she had moved on, and I had totally messed up that I don't think I would easily win her back."Morning. Am I speaking with Joseph Ericson? This is Barrister Anthony calling you as regards your father's company," Barrister Anthony said. He is a middle-aged man, and my fist clenched as I sighed deeply."What happened to his company?" I asked, trying not to show annoyance over the phone call."If I clearly remember, my father handed over the company to me. So why are you calling me again?" I asked, with a raised brow a
