Amaka's POV:

Maureen arrived dressed in a blue top and black straight skirt, paired with black shoes.

"Happy birthday, honey!" she told Jason as she brought many gifts for him and gave him the white plastic bag.

"Thanks, Aunt!" Jason hugged Maureen happily, and I stood there capturing more photos of them since Maureen hugged him too.

"He's so adorable, Amaka," Maureen told me with a smile, and I replied in a lovely tone, "Yes. Thanks, dear."

I walked to meet Maureen and hugged her, as I missed her. "We miss you, girlfriend," I said soothingly into her ear, since we were the same height.

"Me too, thanks," Maureen replied just as she pulled away from the hug.

"Come, let us cut Jason's cake and make a wish. Or should we wait for your mother to arrive?" I asked Maureen gently. Just then, another knock resonated in the living room.

Maureen offered to check who was at the door as Jason and I were at the dining table where his cake was.

As Maureen pulled the door open, Mrs. Ann entered the l

    Amaka's POV;Still in the living room of Aunt Ann's house, my phone rang, and I wondered who was calling me again.Seeing the unknown number, I pondered whether it was Joseph or my family calling me, so I hesitated to pick up the call."Come, Jason. Let's go into the room and sleep. It's getting late," I told my son as I moved over to the couch to join him, just after I rejected the incoming call."Why, Mom?" Jason frowned, his handsome fair face contorting into a deep scowl. He loved cartoons and was perfectly perched on the living room's black couch, not wanting to get down.He simply had no plans of going to bed early tonight."Do you want to stay here in the living room alone? I am tired, and I need to rest. Also, you have to go to school tomorrow, at least before we take a break and make preparations for Maureen's wedding," I told Jason as I approached him on the couch and sat beside him."Come now, let's go and sleep," I said, standing up and wanting to take the television remot

Mom asked, and I was speechless."I don't know, Mom. I cannot marry Joseph again, and I will move on," I said. My mother comforted me to stop crying, and after a while, I went back to my room to think about the whole thing.Do I like Joseph? Yes, I do. But I don't like the fact that he lies to me.I later had dinner with my family. Throughout the previous day, I waited to see if Joseph would call me, but no call came through. I eventually went to bed.Today, I awoke and decided to go to Joseph's house to pick up my car and box of clothes. We weren't going to marry, and I would certainly g

I looked at my golden wristwatch and saw that it was almost 8 AM. I assumed maybe Joseph had gone to his office, so I marched over to his gate and knocked.A security man unlocked the gate and came out of the house to meet me."Good morning, Madam. Who are you looking for?" he asked, and I met his gaze."Musa, did you all of a sudden forget who I am? Open the gate now. Has Joseph left the house?""Oh, Madam. I am sorry I didn't recognize you. Come in," Musa said, and he unlocked the gate for me to enter.As I entered Joseph's residence, my eyes traveled to the driveway where my car and about three of his cars were parked.I assumed Joseph was still inside, and Musa confirmed to me that Joseph had not left the house yet."The boss is inside," he told me with a smile.

He wore a black suit and a white shirt underneath, paired with a black pair of shoes. His fair skin glistened as he flashed me his perfect set of white teeth, not knowing the turmoil I was going through."Morning. Wait, Simon," I called him back as I walked up to meet him."Is there anything you want me to assist you with, sir?" he asked, and I looked at his car again, hoping to see Amaka get out of the car, but I didn't see her.Unable to hold my curiosity, I asked him, "What about Amaka?

    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 me and pressuring me to have sex. I had told him that I wanted to wait until after our marriage, but Joseph refused. He claimed that I didn't 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 was typically a shy blonde girl with very fair skin, while Joseph was the opposite. He had dark skin, was taller than me, and was very handsome. He had full black hair, and I loved him very much. Joseph Ericson came from a very wealthy family in Palazo town, where we lived, while my parents were average workers, so we were considered less well-off than his family. Joseph promised to marry me. He was 21 years old and a business student at university, while I was still preparing to gain admission and join him there. I had lied to my mother, saying I w

He is only a baby, and I don't want to force books into his head," I said, looking back at my friend and her small husband in her arms. "Don't worry, I will put you in school, okay? My aunt owns a small children's school here. So I will take you there now," Maureen said to Jason, and he smiled sweetly at her. "Thanks, Aunt," he replied. "You're welcome, sweetie," she said to him and asked him to wait while she prepared his bath and dressed him for his new school. "Maureen, you cannot be so serious. Jason is my son, and I get to decide for him," I told her. While her mother had another room, Maureen and I shared her room. Although I could move out and get an apartment of my own, I didn't want to be selfish. I was able to attend part-time business training classes with Maureen's mother's help. She looked after Jason for me until he was able to walk. My family didn't want anything to do with me. Well, maybe

    Amaka's POV;Once I finished having my breakfast in the kitchen, I stepped out of the house and made my way outside the compound.The house was a rented apartment, not one that Mrs. Ann owned.Luckily, as I got outside and onto the busy road, I saw a bus and got in. I sat beside a man in a black suit, and he smiled at me.I was too preoccupied to smile back. After what Joseph had done to me, I limited my smiles to anyone who was male. It was painful to think that Joseph would break up with me. He should have told me that he wanted only sex and not that he intended to marry me.I was a very decent girl in my area, which was why I became a laughingstock among my peers who hadn't expected a good girl like me to become pregnant.I wiped my tears away and kept my gaze focused on the road. The man beside me spoke, "Hi there. I have paid your fare.""Huh!" I looked taken aback that a total stranger would help me clear my bill. As I looked at this man's face, I gulped. He was very fair like m

Why do you want to work here with us?" he asked, clicking on his computer as if he were going through my credentials. I was affected seeing him, but the fact that he acted like he didn't know me or recognize who I was made me tremble. "Hello?" He raised an eyebrow and looked at me. "Right. I am a digital marketing student, and I graduated with distinction. I believe I can help your company market its products and services online," I said, lowering my gaze as I tried not to look at his face. He had changed; he looked more masculine and handsome. My son resembled him, only that Jason was fair like me. "I see," he replied, clicking his mouse. "We only employ staff who are committed to their jobs and don't breach our company agreement. If you dare to breach our company agreement, you will have to pay a fine for it." "Ok

I knew that if Jason woke up, he would be hungry too.Since today was his birthday, I had planned to arrange a birthday photoshoot for him, but because of my new job and the agreement I had signed to take my work seriously, I ended up not preparing anything for him. So, I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to prepare my son's birthday cake and our dinner.I thought about giving Simon a call since I had gotten pretty close to him.Due to the agreement I had signed with J.E Group, I couldn't just quit my job unless I paid 10 million.It was a cra

    Joseph's POV:I stood speechless, still looking at the image that graced Danna's phone."Have you seen where your Casanova lifestyle has landed you? You got the child's mother pregnant, and you expected her to kill this innocent child, just because you don't know the value of human life!" Mom taunted me with mean words, but I remained quiet."Mom, I wasn't to be blamed here. I wasn't ready for marriage then, and I explained it to Amaka.""Just stop talking, Joseph, and give me the young woman's number. You are not my son, and I don't want to see your face anymore if you don't go and apologize to that lady and bring my grandchild home.""Mom!" I looked at her in disbelief, knowing that my mother doesn't just say what she wouldn't do."You heard me correctly, Joseph. I didn't send you to impregnate the boy's mother, but he's your son, and you cannot deny it. I'm still ashamed that you wanted to kill this innocent child.

    Joseph's POV:I gripped the steering wheel as I drove towards the estate where my family's mansion was located. It was far from where I resided, as my current place of residence was very busy, while the estate where my father's mansion was situated was much calmer.Upon arriving at the estate gate, the security men pulled open the large black gate, allowing me entry to park my car. I quickly got out of the vehicle, noting that the sun was still high, though it seemed like the sky was about to open up for heavy rain later.I walked up to the front door and rang the doorbell to announce my presence. A maid opened the door, and I entered the living room of the mansion."Good evening, Mom," I greeted, as I saw my mother seated on the couch with my younger brother, Aaron."Welcome, Joseph. What is happening? What did you do to Nina, and who is the new lady that has a child for you?" My mother immediately bombarded me with a series of questions as soon as I walked in."Mom, I don't have any

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.
