Amaka's POV:

After Jason and I finished our dinner, we went back to our new room to sleep.

The next morning, I woke to the sound of my phone ringing.

Lazily, I got out of bed to pick it up because I didn't want the call to wake my son.

"Hello, who is this?" I asked groggily.

"Amaka! It's me, Maureen! Mom told me that you moved out yesterday. Why didn't you tell me before you packed?" Maureen asked, and I sighed, understanding that she didn't want her mother to be alone.

"Maureen, I already explained to you that I just needed a place of my own. I appreciate you and your mother's help, but when I told your mother I wanted her to move out with me, she refused," I calmly explained to Maureen, and the call went silent for a while.

"That's fine. I just called to check how you are doing and how Jason is too." She didn't sound happy, and I understood.

"We're fine. I will be going for a medical checkup today, and I’ll stop by your place," I told her, still seated on the bed.

    Amaka's POV:"So, what did you agree to do? What did you tell Joseph's mother? Although I know that Joseph is my friend, but he isn’t honest about his feelings. So I cannot vouch for you to be with him. Instead of pleading for you to accept him, I should be pleading for my own chances with you," Ethan said, to which I laughed aloud."I already told you that I don't have any interest in getting into another relationship. After Joseph's betrayal and my parents disowning me, I find it difficult to love another man. I am only doing this DNA test to show Joseph and his family that my son is truly their grandson and not because I lied to Joseph. I don’t care about him or what he thinks anymore.""It's alright. I understand. It's okay. Once you are through with the test, you can give me a call. I would like for us to meet," Ethan proposed, but I recalled that I had promised Maureen I would go visit her."I am sorry. Not today, because I want to go see my girlfriend. She got married and think

    Joseph's POV:I drove ahead to the hospital on the island as it was the one my parents used to visit. Sitting in the car with Amaka behind me, I drove towards the hospital building. Her scent seemed to envelop my nostrils. I know that she is angry with me because of her child. She is angry because I denied that I knew her. I denied that she was my girlfriend and that we had an affair. Seeing my son too, I don't know how to feel or how to connect with him. As he grew up with Amaka, I knew that he shared a strong bond with her, and that was why she could hear him out and go with me to the hospital.I kept my gaze focused on the road as I pondered the outcome of our hospital visit. If I am not the father of her child, then I wouldn’t have to feel so guilty. But I recalled that I was the one who had deflowered her."Mm," I mumbled, driving for a while, and I heard the little boy ask her, "Mom, is the hospital far?""Yes. We will soon get there," Amaka replied as she looked at me and

    Joseph's POV:As we walked out of the hospital building, my father spoke to me, "Joseph, your mother and I are going home. You should come home this evening for us to discuss. Failure to do so, you wouldn't like my actions."I met my father's gaze as he spoke to me in a cold voice. "Alright, father. I will be home tonight," I replied calmly, and my mother looked at me and at Amaka, who was standing aside with Jason."Joseph, we can only pray for this child to be yours. We have missed him dearly, and he resembles you. You should try to make up with her, okay?""Mom, it's easier said than done. She has a new life, and I don't want to meddle with it," I replied, though I knew that I wasn't being honest. I wanted Amaka, but seeing the way that she loathed me and doesn't want to meet my gaze, I cannot force her to be with me."Do not say that. You are not married to any other woman, and I wouldn't allow you to marry anyone else either except your child's mother," Mom said in a stern voic

    Joseph's POV:"Hello, Emma, what are you doing here?" I asked Emma as she wore a cream-colored dress that perfectly accentuated her shape.She was slim-figured, tall, and sexier than Amaka.While Amaka was fair-skinned and of average height, Emma was a model, so she had that slender body and an hourglass shape.Although Emma Clement had used surgery to enhance her shape, she was light-skinned too."I came to have fun as today is Sunday. Honestly, Joseph, I missed you and the fun we had," she said, taking a step closer to me as I got out of my car."Emma, whatsoever we had in the past is over. I told you that I wasn't committed to the relationship. I wanted only sex and no love attached," I told her in a stern voice. Right now, I didn't want to deal with her drama. She was so obsessed with me and even went as far as publishing that I was her boyfriend.I had to take the news down with numerous threats to her account and also those bloggers before she could delete the post."Joseph, I d

    Joseph's POV:Martin raised his hands up to surrender. "Fine, I am not interested in her, but I would like to meet her," he said, and I didn't reply to him but continued to have my drink.After a while of silence between the three of us, as the music continued to play in the elite room, some ladies danced on the stage to entertain us and other top personalities here.Ethan asked me, "So when will the DNA test results be out? I heard that your parents wanted a DNA test."I couldn't believe Ethan and Amaka were still in communication.I replied to him, "On Wednesday."Ethan picked up his glass and drank from his wine."That's fine. Let's wait until after the DNA test comes out to know what is next. But you should know that I am not going to stay away from Amaka unless she asks me to." Ethan finished his drink and smirked at me."Fine. Until then, but you should know that I am not going to give up on her if my son is truly mine," I told him, and he nodded. "Cool. I am in for the competit

    Joseph's POV:Danna escorted me out of our father’s house and asked me, "So how did the DNA test go? I heard from Mom that Dr. Kingsley asked you both to come to the clinic on Wednesday.""Yes," I replied, and Danna sighed, following silently to my car. We stopped beside my car, and she said, "I hope the child is yours. I truly do admire that little boy.""Mmm." I exhaled heavily. "It’s well. Let's wait until the test results prove it. But her child truly resembles me.""I already collected her phone number from Mom, and I will call her to beg on your behalf. But that's if you are willing to get back with her," Danna said, and I stood speechless."Do you want to marry Amaka?" my sister asked, and I stood silently, feeling the evening wind blow on my face."I don't know. She doesn't like me, and it seems like she is dating Ethan," I told my sister, and her eyes widened in surprise."Ethan Godson?" Danna asked, her eyes wide open."Yes. They are kind of dating. Anyway, don't let it trou

    Amaka's POV: Jason and I arrived home late, and since we already had dinner at Maureen's place, we went straight to bed and fell asleep. The next day, I woke up early and prepared my son for school. Since we had relocated, I didn't know if the school bus was aware of our new location, but I set off to prepare him for school since I had to go to Joseph's company. Although I shouldn't have bothered with resuming there, but Joseph was right about the fact that I couldn't just resign from his company. So, I made my way to the kitchen, wearing a white shirt and black skirt, and prepared breakfast for my son and me. We had tea and bread for breakfast, and Jason asked me, "Mom, are you going out?" "Yes. I am going to work today," I told him as we sat at the dining table and had our breakfast. "Okay," Jason replied, focusing on finishing his tea. Once he was ready, I waited a few more minutes, but seeing that his school bus wasn't arriving to pick him up, I set off to drop him of

    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

    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.

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.

"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

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.
