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

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

I'm still surprised to hear this. Can we meet and hang out at least?""No. Well, not today. I have some things I want to handle, including making preparations for a new house that I am planning on renting; also, I have to go pick up my son from school," I told Simon, and he replied, "That's fine. I will call you later to catch up. I'm still in the office now. It's just that I missed you. Or don’t you miss me too?""Well, I do. Take care of yourself, Simon. Bye," I quickly told him and ended the call. Sighing, I resumed eating my food, conscious of the time and knowing that I had to go pick up my son from school.Once I was done eating, I prepared to leave the house. I grabbed my black bag as the time was already 3 p.m. I slipped on my black slippers and headed out for my son's school.Luckily, Etha

    Amaka's POV:"Mommy, why don’t you like my Daddy?" Jason asked me as we entered the compound that led to our apartment."I don't know. Maybe because he is not as handsome as you," I told my son, and he frowned."But he is my Daddy," he innocently replied, to which I said, "I know, but not mine. You saw my Daddy, didn't you?""Yes, we saw your daddy. When are we going to see mine?" Jason asked, and I told him, "Later. Tell me, what did your class teacher teach you today? Did she give you any assignments at all?"I tried to shift the topic, and Jason replied, "Yes. She gave me homework. But I haven't done it. It's two-letter words, so I know that simple homework."I smiled, knowing that Jason had watched a lot of educational kids' channels before he started preschool. He was highly intelligent, but I wondered where he got that intelligence from because Joseph was only obsessed with sex. As for me, I wasn't so sure about my own intelligence.

Ethan," I mumbled his name, and she said, "Yes. He is outside. When I arrived, I told him that I didn’t know if you were back, but I would check and send for you.""Mmm. What does he want from me? Anyway, let me go see him. I already made jollof rice this afternoon," I told Aunt Ann, and she replied, "Okay. Let me go into my bedroom and freshen up."Aunt Ann left me just as I walked out of my room and down the corridor. Jason was still engrossed in watching his favorite cartoon on the television, thanks to the constant power supply in our home.As I walked out of the house, I was surprised to see Ethan standing beside his black car. I hadn’t noticed his cars before, but he had different types of black cars. "Hi, good evening," I greeted him first, seeing him wearing a white top and short three-quarter blue j

She asked him, to which he replied, "It was fine. I came to see Amaka, and she invited me over for dinner."Ethan looked at me, but I moved over to the dining chair to sit down."That's fine. You are welcome," Aunt Ann was friendly with Ethan, but I didn't say anything as I ushered my son to have his seat.Jason was looking at Ethan, but he was silent.The dining table fell into silence while I served around the vegetable soup and semovita that I had prepared."Do you eat this kind of food?" I asked Ethan as I reached his chair and served the small plate of soup garnished with meat and dried fish, then I served his semovita too."Why not? I will gladly eat whatever you prepared," he replied with a smile."That's fine," I told him and moved over to the kitchen to get him a bowl of water. Once I got ba

    Joseph's POVParking my car in the garage, I came out and went into the house, and Lady Tope Hilary came out of the house, surprised, and asked me, "Sir, didn't you go to work today?"I looked at her, seeing that she was dressed up, and I wondered where she was going too. Most times, I went to work and did not return until the evening when I had closed from work."I went to the office, but I am back. Where are you off to?" I asked her, and she smiled, replying, "I am going for grocery shopping and to also see my son at school.""Alright, be back on time," I told Lady Tope and moved ahead into the house. Going inside, I went to have my bath and to chill out, thinking about how to win Amaka's heart back.Amaka was wrong, and I didn't only consider apologizing to her now because of my father's threat. No, I am far more than that; only it wouldn't be nice if the rumors got to public knowledge that I lost my father's support. Many people in this area and this city as a whole respected my f

    Joseph's POVI couldn't believe that Amaka's aunt would threaten to call the police on me. She told me that Amaka was sent away by her parents because I got her pregnant and refused to take responsibility for it."What am I going to do now?" I asked myself as I drove ahead to my company. My head was messed up, and with my father's threat, I knew that I had to come up with something to make Amaka forgive me, but who do I speak to that could help me talk to her on my behalf?Well, even if it was not that my parents had insisted that I try to make up with Amaka and bring my son back home to them, I knew that I was affected by seeing Amaka again. I truly did miss her, but I was not brave enough to say it to her face.I made a turn and drove ahead to Ethan's office. I needed to see him as he was the only person that I hoped would help me win Amaka back, irrespective of the fact that he was also chasing after her.I arrived at Ethan's company, E. and G. Global. It was a big establishment, s

    **Amaka's POV** "I already told you that I do not know why Joseph was here," I said to Ethan, not wanting to tell him that Joseph wanted to request a DNA test to know if my son was truly his."That's fine. I will be leaving now for work. Take care," Ethan said before he moved back to his car and got in. I watched him start his car engine and drive off. Sighing, I went back into the house, thinking about how I should handle Joseph's situation.I went to have my bath, and after coming out, I dressed in a black shirt and a white top. I combed my long blonde hair while standing in front of the mirror, then I applied a little touch of makeup on my face.I could recall Joseph's words to Aunt Ann: "I want to marry Amaka now.""Hahaha!" I laughed out loud while looking at my reflection in the mirror."What makes Joseph think that I would want to marry him?" I asked myself, smiling at my reflection as I finished fixing my hair. I grabbed my trusty black handbag, slipped my phone into the zip,

    **Amaka's POV**The next morning, I woke up in bed and prepared Jason for school. It was Tuesday, and the weather seemed like it was going to rain. As we were nearing the end of October, I made a mental note to get a school cardigan for my son.After dressing Jason for school, I assisted him with preparing his breakfast before the school bus arrived."Goodbye, Mom," Jason waved happily at me as I watched him get on the bus. There were other kids on the bus, and I waved goodbye once he was seated in the middle and had fastened his seatbelt. The bus drove off.I smiled and went back into the house, preparing for my visit to a new house."Amaka, wow. So you finally registered Jason for the school bus," Lazy Ann said as she came into my room. She was set to leave the house for her shop. She wore a blue tailored dress and black slippers, and I replied, "Yes, ma, to relieve me of stress.""That's good. I'm already heading to my shop. Are you leaving the house today?" she asked, standing by

    Amaka's POV.After a few more minutes sitting in the living room of Ethan's home, I stood up and asked the butler, "Mr. Evan, is there a library in here?""Yes, Madam, but it's upstairs beside the master's study," he said."Oh. It's alright. I am fine," I replied, looking away from him and telling Jason to join me outside."Mr. Evan, please tell Ethan that we will be outside waiting for him once he is done," I instructed Mr. Evan, who was standing beside the dining table. The dining table had silver chairs, and it was a beautiful setting. The older man replied, "Okay, Ma'am."Jason and I walked out of the house, and he asked me, "Mom, are we going home now?""Yes, once Ethan is done with what he went upstairs to do," I told him, and he smiled. "Alright."I pulled out my phone and snapped a cool evening photo of myself and Jason against the beautiful backdrop of Ethan's home. His house is so beautiful. As I gazed at the lovely evening photos, Ethan came out of the house and asked me, "

He said, "It's a pleasure. I just wanted you to know where I live so that you can come over to see me whenever you feel like it.""Awn. Thank you. But I am not your woman, so I cannot be free to come here any way I please," I told him, and he smiled."Would you like to request anything? Like juice or a malt drink?" he asked as I looked around the white living room again. He had a very large flat-screen television, lovely chandeliers hanging brightly above, and high curtains that I couldn't see the end of, adding to the beauty of his living room. The walls featured paintings of him and lovely flower vases around. It was a beautiful living room with inviting off-white couches."No, I am fine. Jason and I are good," I told him, not wanting to accept a drink from him. An elderly man in a white shirt and blac
