Amaka's POV

Saturday 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

    Joseph's POV:I woke up in my room to the sound of my phone ringing. I had a slight headache. Sitting up in my bed and looking around my room, frowning, I recalled the events of the previous day.I had a terrible day out, getting drunk and wasted that I had to call Lady Tope to come and pick me up. It was quite embarrassing because she wasn't my wife, but it was manageable as she understood that I had been going through a hard time.I stepped down from my bed as I was fully clothed. I didn't even have the time to take off my clothes. I recalled getting nauseated and vomiting in my bedroom, but Lady Tope had cleaned all that up."Dammit. What am I doing to myself? Because of Amaka, my life had been perfect. I was planning on getting married before Amaka came back into my life and crashed everything. Now, I was left with my father's threat that I must marry her, else, I risk losing everything that I had worked so hard for."I was enraged because Amaka didn't want me. She didn't give a d

    Joseph's POV:As I came downstairs, Lady Tope came out of the kitchen and set up my breakfast. She asked me, "What about Madam? When will she be coming back again?""Nina wouldn't be coming back. She doesn't want to marry me," I told Lady Tope, and she replied, "Alright."Lady Tope left me, and I sat there thinking about how to resolve the matter between me and Amaka.*****Amaka's POV:My son and I got into a car that drove us to my father's house. We have to travel to the former area that I lived with my family before.It was an underdeveloped area of Palazzo town. Arriving at my father's house, I saw my younger sister, Alice, standing at the gate, and her eyes widened at the sight of me."Amaka!" Alice ran into my arms like a young girl. She was 18-years-old and my look-alike, although she was chubbier than me. So we couldn't pass for twins."I have missed you, sister!" Alice hugged me happily, before she let go of me and looked at Jason, who was looking at her in surprise."Hi, li

    Amaka's POV: "Alice, I don't want to talk about Joseph. We are not together, it's as simple as I told you. You all thought that sending me away then simply meant that Joseph would accept me by force. News flash, he blocked me and avoided me, and I had to suffer alone to raise Jason." Alice looked at me pitifully and said, "I am sorry." "You don't owe me any apologies. It's all in the past tense, but Joseph and I aren't together," I told her, and she gulped. "Are you planning on getting back with him?" She asked, but I shook my head and said, "No." "Hmm...it's well. That means it mustn't have been easy for you, but you're now popular, and we thought maybe Joseph was the one helping you," Alice said, standing by the door. But I shook my head and told her, "No. I work for my money, and I don't rely on him. However, I went to apply for a job, and guess what? He owned the company." "What?! So are you going to get back with him?" Alice asked, but I shook my head and relaxed on th

    Amaka's POV:The following day, I awoke early and prepared Jason for school."Come on, Jason, time to have your bath," I told my son as I woke him from sleep. I should have considered giving him a break, knowing we had been busy the past weekend, but I didn’t want my son to skip school again, especially since he hadn’t attended class the previous Friday."Mom, I want to sleep," Jason protested from the bed, giving me that boyish charm of his."No. You didn’t go to school on Friday, so I can’t allow you to miss class today," I said firmly."Alright," he finally replied as he got out of bed, and I led him into the bathroom. I assisted him with brushing his teeth, helped him take a bath, and dressed him for school."Mom, am I going to see my dad today?" Jason asked, and I frowned as I finished putting on his stockings and shoes."Jason, why do you want to meet your dad? Do you not like me?" I asked, and he frowned."I do," he managed to say, although his expression turned sad."Don’t wor

    Joseph's POV:Arriving at my company again this week, I had hoped to see Amaka, but up until this moment, I hadn't seen her.My phone rang on my office desk, startling me out of my oceanic thoughts. I picked it up to see who the caller was: Ethan Godson.Why was he calling me this early in the morning? I stole a quick glance at the wall clock in my office and saw that it was past 9 a.m."Ugh," I sighed as I answered his call. "Hello," I said, trying to keep my cool because I was not in the mood to speak with Ethan."What's up with you, Joseph? What did you do to Amaka that makes it hard for her to give me a chance?" Ethan asked, and I sighed."I already told you to stay away from her. Why are you pushing your luck? She has my child with her, and I told you that my father is threatening to disown me if I don't reconcile with my child and his mom. You're making it hard for me if you keep chasing after her," I said, rubbing my temples. "But you don't love her anymore. So why can't I c

    Amaka's POV:I was unable to sleep, thinking about Ethan's proposal to me. He was so serious that a part of me wanted to give in to his request, but recalling how I had been deceived by Joseph, my resolution was firm.Since I was unable to sleep in my bedroom, I decided to research a new house to start my life because I didn't want to continue living here with Aunt Ann. She had been a great support for me, and I really appreciated that, but I had made up my mind to move on with my life and get an apartment of my own.I took my Android phone and browsed to see where I could find an affordable apartment. Although Ethan had told me that he had many properties here on the mainland and owned the estate where we were living, I wanted a new area—a fresh start away from everyone.“Mmm,” I mumbled, settling on the living room couch and going through my phone. Surprisingly, I hadn’t been contacted by Joseph's company regarding my resignation letter to them. Well, I wasn't expecting them to pest

    Amaka's POV: "Amaka, I am not asking you to forgive Joseph. But you know that he is my best friend, and I know Joseph well. These days, I think he is more affected by seeing you again, and you should give him a chance at least, a second chance to prove his worth again." Ethan kept his face focused on the road as he drove his black SUV away. I sighed, still not responding to his advice. "It's well," Ethan muttered as he drove back to the island where my rented apartment was. "Are you bothered that Joseph would want to fight with you if he is so serious about his new-found feeling for me?" I queried Ethan, and he laughed aloud. "He is already fighting me, and he hadn't hung out with me since you showed up in our lives. Honestly, I sometimes wished that I had met you before Joseph did. He doesn't deserve you, at least. Let me be honest. You are too decent for a bad boy like him. So, I cannot blame you for the decision that your heart desires." "Mmm," I was silent as I knew that

    Amaka's POV:I stood up from the couch and went to give Joseph's mother my bank account details, and they made the transfer into my account. Once I had confirmed the money, I thanked the Ericsons once more, even when it wasn't what I wanted.Joseph was smiling as if he had won my heart, but I had my reservations as I saw his two aunties looked happy."I have received the money, sir," I let Joseph's father know, and he nodded."That's fine. I want you to use that as compensation for what our son did to you. And we hope that you can always come to visit us whenever we have any family activities," Mr. Ericson said, and I nodded sadly."I will. I have to get going home now." I wanted to leave, and Joseph's mother said, "Why don't you join us for lunch before leaving?""No, Ma'am. I am not hungry. I have a running stomach, so I am always mindful of what I eat outside," I told Mrs. Hannah politely, and she smiled sadly, as she wanted to make amends for the past."It's alright. Since you do

    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

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

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?"

    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.
