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."I don't know yet. I might, I might not, but I have thought about it, and I think the right answer is no. I am not going to get back with him," I told Simon. He replied, "Wow! 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. I escorted my son into the apartment we share

    Amaka's POV."Which other man?" I asked Mrs. Ann before she left my room. She told me, "Who else? The man you have been laughing with since this morning or the day before.""Mm. 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

    Amaka's POV."Wow!" Jason and I gasped as we entered the living room of Ethan's home. "Your house is so beautiful," I told him, and he grinned, stopping in the living room beside us. 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

    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, "

    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,"

    Amaka's POV:As I walked out of my house gate to wait for Ethan's arrival, I saw Joseph pulling in with his car at the same time.His black car slowed down just as Ethan's car came to a stop in front of my new house gate."Hey, Amaka," Ethan waved at me, unaware that Joseph had slowed down and was peering at us.I swiftly looked away from Joseph's face and went to unlock the gate for Ethan to drive in.Once Ethan drove his black car into my new compound and parked, I locked the gate and went to welcome him.I didn’t bother to look at Joseph’s face, not caring whether he was angry about seeing his friend at my place.If only I had the heart to love another, I would have fallen for Ethan to use him to get my revenge on Joseph."Hi, welcome to my new house," I told Ethan once he parked his black car and got out to look around.Ethan wore a white polo and black jeans, paired with white canvas shoes, as he smiled."Wow! I wasn't expecting you to live around here. Although Joseph's house is

    Amaka's POV:I finished preparing dinner and saw that it was after 5 PM. 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
