Nina's POV:

The cab arrived at Joseph's house, and I carefully alighted, paid for my ride, and made my way to Joseph's house.

It was a peaceful estate. 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. I smiled and replied, "Alright, I will soon be leaving as I came to pi

    Joseph's POV:I arrived at my company, drove my car into the parking lot, and parked it.At the same time, Simon was just arriving at the company too, and he parked his car.I was looking at his car, hoping to see Amaka alight from it, but I didn't see her."Good morning, sir," Simon greeted 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? I thought she came to the company every day with you since she started this week with us?"Simon's eyes widened in surprise as he hadn't expected me to ask him about Amaka."Yes, sir. She actual

    Amaka's point of view;I arrived at my son's school and took him to his class. As we entered the school building, the headmistress, a middle-aged woman, greeted me with a warm smile on her face, "Welcome, Ma'am. You came today with your boy other than his grandmother?" She asked me."Yes. I am not going to work today, so I brought Jason by myself. Please, ma'am, I don't want anyone to come here and take my son away. That's why I came here by myself. No one except me or his grandmother should pick him up."The headmistress looked at me in surprise as she wore a black suit and shoes. "You have nothing to worry about, ma'am. Your child is in safe hands," she assured me and gestured for Jason to go on to the assembly."I have to go now, bye, Jason," I waved at my son, and he smiled and waved back at me.I saw some teachers looking at us with a smile. Taking a quick glance at them, I didn't see Joseph's sister among them, so I was a little relieved, even though I knew that she had guessed

    Joseph's POV:"Haven't you said anything, Joseph?" Ethan asked me as he kept standing across from me beside my office desk."What do you want me to say to you - that I don't love Amaka anymore?" I asked him as I met his gaze."I'm not asking you to say that to me. I just want you to clarify that you're not getting back with her just because she has a son for you," Ethan deadpanned, and I smiled."Well, I don't know yet," I replied."What do you mean you don't know yet, Joseph? Do you plan on getting back with her? What happened to Nina?" Ethan raised his voice at me as he glared at me too. "When has it come to this that we have to fight over a woman?" I asked him, and he breathed out in relief."I'm not fighting you over her. But truth be told, you haven't been with her for long. I just happen to like that woman, and not because she has a child out of wedlock with you, would stop me from winning her heart," Ethan said hopefully, and I saw his eyes shine with admiration and assurance t

Anita asked, and I looked at her face."No, you can leave my office," I replied. She smiled and left.I opened the meal and resumed eating, conscious of the time.My phone rang, and I saw that Danna was calling me."Hello, big bro," she said once I answered."What's up?" I asked, and she grinned."Nothing. I just called to see if you're coming over. Mom asked if her grandson went to school today."I rolled my eyes at my sister's words."Her grandson? Why are you and Mom so obsessed with the boy when I don't even know if he's my child?" I protested."He is your child. Anyway, are you coming over? We close at 3:30 p.m., and most parents get here before 4 p.m. So you should be on time," Danna said, clearly wanting me to see

    Joseph's POV:"Over here, big brother!" Danna waved to me, and I saw her standing beside the school building, raising her right hand for me to see her.Several children were going home, and some were getting on the school bus that would take them home. I walked over to meet my younger sister."Wow! I guess coming here at closing time wasn't a good idea," I told her, and she grinned."Maybe. Come, let's go meet him. I told his teacher that my brother is Jason's father.""What? Danna, why would you say that to your fellow teacher?" I asked her as I quickly followed her.She wore a green school vest and a black skirt paired with black shoes. She paused and looked at me."I didn't have a choice. His mother will arrive soon, and that was the best way to get the little boy's teacher to delay him. Besides, she's my friend. Otherwise, no one is allowed to see the children except their parents or guardians."Danna quickly led me to the classroom, and I noticed some other young female teachers

I have to hurry and pick him up," I told myself as I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my hair and tying it into a bun.Once I was ready, I picked up my handbag and put a small amount of money in it for transport.My phone rang, and it was Maureen calling me."Hello, girlfriend," I answered her call and exited the room. Stepping into the living room, I turned off the light as I was leaving."How are you doing, Amaka? Have you gone to pick up my little husband from school?" Maureen asked, to which I replied, "No, I'm on my way. Do you want to go and pick him up?""No, I just miss you guys. I'm still in my shop because I went there today to adjust my wedding dress. It's too tight, and I had to loosen it a bit.""Alright. I'll stop by your shop since you're there. How about my bridesmaid gown? Have you sewn it yet?" I asked her."Yeah, I have.

    Joseph's POV:I stood waiting for hours for Amaka to arrive, only to see her getting out of a car. Taking a closer look at the driver, I was stunned to see that it was Ethan.My anger rose, but I quickly composed myself as Amaka approached me."Hi," I said to her, and her eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as she looked shocked to see me."What are you doing here?" Amaka asked, glaring at me."Hmm." I frowned, realizing that she was blushing when she approached me and didn't even notice that I was the one standing there.Maybe she mistook me for one of the male teachers since I had taken off my coat and draped it over my right arm."I came here to see my son," I made it clear to her, and she burst out laughing, covering her mouth and asking, "Which son? The last time I checked, you're only engaged to Nina Stanley, and she doesn't have a child for you yet."I glared at her and replied coolly, "You have my son, and don't act like he isn't mine. I want a DNA test to prove it.""And

    Amaka's POV"You cannot be serious, Amaka?" Maureen said as she came into her shop to meet me.I sighed and went to her fridge to grab a cold bottle of water for myself as I was feeling hot."Well, I am. I am serious. He is Joseph's friend. And guess what happened today?" I asked Maureen, who still looked stunned and unhappy to hear that the new man was Joseph's friend."What happened? You know that I'm not a good guesser. Go on and tell me all that happened. You mean that handsome man is friends with Joseph?"Maureen looked irritated, and I smiled and told her to calm down."Relax, Maureen. Besides, I haven't accepted him yet. But he said that he doesn't care if I have a child, and he also knows that my child belongs to Joseph.""What??" Maureen gasped again as she watched me open the bottle and drink from the chilled water in my hand. Jason came up to meet me, requesting to drink from my water too."Wait, Jason. This is too cold. Let me look for a little cold water." I went to the f

    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,"

I wasn't expecting you to live around here. Although Joseph's house is

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
