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

  • Mr. CEO I can't Be Hidden Anymore    Chapter 42

    Joseph's POV:I sat in my office waiting for Anita to bring my lunch from the cafeteria.A few minutes later, she arrived with a smile on her face."Here's your lunch, sir," she said as she approached my desk and placed the meal down."Do you need anything else, sir?" 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

    Amaka's POV:I finished putting on a red top and black skirt as I adjusted my appearance in front of the mirror."Jason's school has closed. 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 POVSaturday arrived, and we set off to attend Maureen's wedding.The previous day, I had expected Joseph to call, as he left the school angrily. But I didn't receive his call, since I didn't take Jason to school on Friday.I know that it wasn't fair on my part that my son was skipping class, but I didn't want him to look stressed out since we had to attend Maureen's wedding. Her mother had been busy making preparations for it too, so I woke up early and did the same preparations.I helped my son with his bath, then I helped him dress in the handsome white lace that Maureen had sewn for him.Jason looked handsome, and after helping him put on his black shoes, I set off and made a recording.It was tagged: #MyBestFriendWedding, #MaureenWedsChris, #MrAndMrsAugustus."Hey guys, welcome to another live vlog. We are making preparations for my girlfriend's wedding. Guess who is getting married today? Maureen!!" I gushed over the video as I was done with my makeup and just needed to

    Amaka's POV:Walking up to meet Maureen and Chris as the guests resumed presenting their wedding gifts to them. I didn't shop for anything, so I wrote out a check for 2 million and came to present it to my friend."Here's my wedding gift to you and Chris. Happy marriage to you both," I told Maureen, and she hugged me happily and replied, "Thank you! I wish you were the next in line to wed.""Maureen!" I smiled, and we stood together and took photos. I told her, whispering into her ear, "I have to go home since the celebration will last until late at night.""No, Chris and I will soon be leaving. I told him I didn't like big events like this," Maureen whispered back, and I told her, "Enjoy your day. I am happy for you."After sharing one last hug, I set out to leave the event, knowing that Maureen's mother and relatives, along her new family, would handle everything for her. Besides, she was going for her honeymoon with Chris.I moved over to the table where Jason sat with the other ki

    Amaka's POV:I moved over to the door to see who it was, and it was Aunty Ann, Maureen's mother."Good evening, Ma. Welcome back," I greeted her, and she smiled."Thank you, Amaka. I just wanted to tell you that I have returned home. We weren't expecting the wedding reception to be that extravagant," Mrs. Ann said, and I grinned at her. "Thanks to Chris. He is an understanding man.""Yes. Maureen is indeed lucky to have him, and I pray that you have a good man like Chris. I know that Joseph made you have a different mindset about men, but you can still give another man a try." Mrs. Ann held my hand, but I shook my head and told her, "No. I am fine.""It's alright. I see that Jason is already asleep. Let me allow you to rest; I am also stressed," Mrs. Ann said, withdrawn her hand, and turned to leave my room."Alright, Ma. Good night," I told her, although I didn't mention that I wanted to leave and purchase mine. I considered telling her that I would be visiting my family the followin

    Amaka's POV "Can we get going, please?" Joseph asked me, and I peered at his face and replied, "Alright."I took out my phone and contacted the Uber driver, and I apologized to him. "Hello, sir. I won't be able to go with you again. As I already cancelled the trip. Can I make a refund to you?""It's alright, Madam. You don't have to worry about the payment," the Uber driver said. I marched to get into the back seat of Joseph's car.I saw Joseph smiling, but I rolled my eyes and looked away."Mommy," Jason smiled at me from the front passenger seat, as he was happy to be sitting in the front seat beside Joseph.The car was filled with Joseph's cologne, and I sat in a tight corner, trying to do some breathing exercises to distract my nose from his intoxicating scent."Can you unlock the car windows?" I asked Joseph, after seeing that the car was an automatic."Anything for you," Joseph replied with a calm voice, but I didn't bother to correct him, since he had unlocked the car windows.

    Amaka's POV:As I woke up in my room, I sighed and got out of my bed as I made preparations for my son and me to visit Joseph's mother.If it wasn't that I had made the promise that I would visit them, I would have canceled it because Jason was not feeling well.I went to have my bath in the bathroom, and as I got out, I donned a blue top and black trousers, and also a black pair of shoes. Then I moved over to the mirror to do my makeup.I saw that I had a little acne due to the stress that comes with working. I didn't apply makeup, so I made use of my tinted lip gloss and went to my son's room to check on him.Jason was still asleep on the bed, and I recalled how I had gone to Joseph's house to bring him back.Sighing, I gently went to wake my son and to assist him with his bath.His body temperature was back to normal, and he had eaten well the night before.Helping Jason to undress, I prepared a warm bath for him and took him into the bathroom to wash up.A few minutes later, Jason

    Joseph's POV."Wow! That was a rude way to speak to us!" Danna yelled, but Amaka didn't glance back as she walked away with Jason in her arms, who waved goodbye to me."It's fine, sister. She is just angry with me," I looked back at Danna and her friend and smiled."Why is she still being cold to you? I honestly do not like how she is behaving rudely. And I honestly think that you should move on and forget about her and her son," Danna said, taking me by surprise, and I laughed and looked at her."I cannot believe that you are saying this to me, Danna. Weren't you the one who was clamoring for me to marry Amaka and unite with my son? And now, you're telling me that I should forget about them?" I queried my sister, and she sighed."I was. But she is still cold to all of us and even you. So it's a waste. Anyway, meet my friend, Clara Martin. She is Jason's class teacher in school," Danna introduced me to her friend, who smiled."It's nice to meet you, Ms. Martin," I told her, and she gr

    Joseph's POV.As we arrived at the house, I rang the doorbell, and Lady Tope pulled the huge black door open and gasped, "Wow! Boss, is he your son?""Yes, he is my little boy. He lives down the street with his mother in this estate," I told Lady Tope with a smile, and she waved at my son, telling him, "Hello.""Good afternoon, Ma," Jason politely greeted her, and Lady Tope waved at him and asked him, "What's your name?""Jason.""It's nice to meet you, Jason," Lady Tope said, and my son shook hands with her. I smiled and asked him, "Do you want to tour the house?""Mmm," Jason smiled and nodded."Yes, Dad. Where is your own room? Do you sleep in this big house alone? It's big like Uncle Ethan's house," Jason said, and I froze."What? Did Amaka take you to Uncle Ethan's house?" I squatted to meet my son's height and asked him."Yeah. My mom says that Uncle Ethan wants to be my new daddy. But I don't know if that's possible," Jason said, and I sighed with relief. As I hadn't thought th

    Amaka's POV."How is your son doing now?" Simon asked, as I had already updated him earlier that I was not going to the company.It was past 5 pm in the evening, and I guessed Simon had taken permission to come and see me."He is fine. Thank you for coming," I greeted Simon, smiling, and he said, "We are friends. So what do you expect."Simon's eyes shifted to look at Ethan, who was peering at him, and he greeted Ethan, "Good evening, sir.""Welcome," Ethan mumbled."I have to go and check on my son. You shouldn't have stressed about coming to see us," came my calm response to Simon, and he grinned."I cannot help it. I just wanted to see your lovely face," Simon teased, and Ethan scowled. "Amaka, I should get going now. Take care.""Alright," I told Ethan, and watched him walk out of my residence as he packed his car outside my house."Are you both dating?" Simon asked after Mr. Ethan left."That shouldn't be your concern," I told Simon, and he sighed."Alright. I just came to check

    Amaka'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," Janet said, donning 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 down on the mattress and have him eat his meal. The jollof rice and fried chicken food that Joseph had bought for us, smelled so delicious, and I could fee

    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.

    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
