Maya and Jason chuckled. She moved closer to Jayden and caressed his cheeks saying "Soon baby. Your baby brothers or sisters will come soon"Jayden raised an eyebrow at his Mom and asked "Sisters or brothers? Are you growing more than one baby Mom?""Yes, baby. We are having twins, the doctor confirmed it" Jason replied, beating Maya to it.Jayden jumped and cheered happily "Yaay! Mommy is growing two babies. I can't wait to see them"The couples watched and smiled as Jayden jubilated. The news of the twins elevated his mood entirely. Double blessings!~~~~~A few days later Ariana visited Maya's new house. She gasped as her driver drove into the villa, the pictures and videos she saw about the villa didn't do justice at all. This place looks like Heaven. "Girl! This is definitely a paradise. The tight security here is commendable like everything is on point. He literally gave you the best wedding gift, this is Luxury at its peak. I love it," Ariana remarked with eyes wide open as sh
Back in Benjamin's mansion. He was pacing up and down waiting for Ariana to return, is been hours and yet there was no calls from her. He had called several times without getting any response and he was beginning to get worried.His heart raced as time went by, not knowing what to do, he suddenly picked up his phone and dialed Maya's number. It rang for a few seconds before she finally picked up. "Hey Benjamin" Maya said"Hi Maya, please is my wife at your place? Did you by any chance hear from her. Did she stop by the office today" Benjamin bombarded Maya with questions, out of anxiety. Maya rolled her eyes in confusion. "No she's not with me. She had stop by at the office but left after a few hours, though she mentioned feeling a little bit sick and wanted to go home and rest. It's been hours already and she ought to have been home by now" Maya replied rolling her eye back and forth. "Where could she be then. I have called the Mall's manager and she's not there either. Oh my God!
Maya rolled her eyes between mouthfuls of food. She couldn't deny the fact that she wanted the same too, their kids sharing the same birthday would be an absolute blessing."Yes B. I want the same too, though it's fine if it doesn't happen as we want, we could still plan their birthday together" Maya retorted."Sure, we are going to raise our kids together, so they will grow up loving each other, just the way l love you B," Ariana replied with a huge grin on her face.She then turned to Benjamin who gazed at the best friends airing their opinion. It must have taken trust and love to build the kind of friendship that existed between his wife and Maya, he thought to himself. "Baby, how about gender reveal? We are yet to know the gender of our baby. Don't you think we should know?" Ariana asked, furrowing her eyebrows at him.Benjamin smiled. He used his hand to wipe the corner of her lips. There were food particles there. He then gazed at her and let out "Sure baby, I'm eager to know t
Maya and Ariana felt emotional, hearing that there might be a possibility of having their babies the same day as they will be induced the same day. Ariana was the happiest, there was nothing that she wanted more than to have her baby on the same day as Maya. She took it upon herself to make it her everyday prayer point. The two preggies went out to chill. As they sat down, waiting for the waiter to bring their order, Ariana cleared her throat and began "B. I can't help but feel anxious and scared at the same time. With the way I hear other people talk about childbirth, it makes me worried. The pain and what they have to pass through during childbirth is scary as hell. How much pain do you have to endure during Jayden's delivery?" Maya gazed at her. It was Ariana's first time and she understood it was normal for her to feel that kind of way. Maya then gave Ariana a sympathetic smile. "It's true that childbirth can be a very painful experience, and everyone's experience is different
A few days later. Benjamin had invited Jason and Maya over for lunch, he wanted to appreciate Jason for doing business with him. A business that pushed his company to greater heights, words couldn't explain enough how happy he was, so he decided to treat Jason and his lovely wife to lunch.Ariana was happy about it. She had called Maya to find out if they were still coming as the table was all set."Hey B, what's keeping you both?" Ariana's voice echoed over the phone. "Well, l have to get some sugar from hubby before coming, plus Jayden insisted that he wanted to stay with my dad, so we had to drop him off. We are on our way now, give or take, we should be there in fifteen minutes." Maya retorted, a naughty grin evident in her voice."Go away, you're so naughty. Alright, we will be waiting" Ariana said and ended the call.Ariana was not her usual self. She had been feeling a little bit of pain in her abdomen but she brushed it off as it was not intense. Benjamin insisted that they s
Later on, visitors were allowed inside the ward. Jayden ran into the ward happily, Mr. Parker chuckled as he fled from his hold and ran inside happily as he sighted his parents and the babies. Jason carried him up, so he could see his siblings well. "They are so cute and gentle. And they look so much like me" Jayden concluded, his face beaming with smiles as he spoke. He couldn't stop talking about how cute they were."You now have a baby brother and sister to protect and play with," Maya said, ruffling his hair playfully. "Yes, Mommy and l can't wait to tell my friends in school that l now have a baby brother and sister" He chimed in."Oh my God, they are so adorable. Have you given them a name yet?" Maya's dad asked, his heart filled with warmth. "Yes sir. Bryan and Zoey" Jason replied, excitement evident in his voice. They all agreed that the names were perfect for them. Mr. Parker and Jayden went to the other ward to see Ariana and her baby.Since Liam and the twins shared the
Jason took his family to Atlanta for a short vacation. He had rented a part of the resort in the most popular island in the city. He wanted nothing but to give his family the best vacation ever. He planned on making their stay here adventurous. Jason's mom tagged alone so she could help out with taking care of Jayden and the twins.Jayden had fun playing at the beach while his grandmother looked after him. Maya and Jason took a walk carrying the twins. They talked and laughed while savouring in the warmth of the beach.They took Jayden to the zoo to see different wildlife. Jayden could gush and rejoice as he saw different animals. It was a thrilling and adventurous experience. They spent all the days touring the island and checking out the nice restaurant in the resort. The seafood at the restaurant was spectacular and Jason's mom couldn't stop talking about it.At the night of the final day of the vacation. Maya wanted to spent time alone with her husband. She had discussed with J
Their vacation ended with so many thrilling experiences. Jayden couldn't stop talking about the animals he saw at the zoo. They returned back to Batavia. Maya felt relieved, being away from work stress was something she needed and the vacation came at the right time. "Mommy, Bryan looks so much like l and Dad, while Zoey looks just like you" Jayden said as he played with the twins. Maya giggled and replied him "Yes baby. They look just like us" "l want them to start walking so l can go to school with them. As their big brother, I'm going to protect them" Jayden chimed in, raising his muscles for his Mom to see. This elicited a loud chuckle from Maya who nodded and agreed with him saying "That's good baby. We will be going to Aunt Ariana's house to see her and Liam" Jayden jumped and rejoiced. He couldn't wait to see Liam, he had grown fond of the twins and Liam. Meanwhile, Ariana was seated on the couch, carrying Liam. Benjamin was out of town for a business trip. She had just
Camilla's POV I watched Marcus play with the kids from the door, much to his oblivion. He bonded with them so well that the connection between them was undeniable. He always makes time for me and the kids, even though he is always busy with work. Whoever brought out that saying that says a man who loves and cares about you will always make time for you, no matter how busy he is was right. With Marcus, everything felt so real. The kids loved him so much and so do I. Even though I tried to mask those feelings, he had shown them so much care that sometimes it overwhelmed me, it felt so surreal, but I was glad to have him in our lives. He made life meaningful for us. He made us feel safe around him. After Marcus told me the reason his wife left him, I felt so bad for him, he found out he couldn't get a woman pregnant two years after he got married. He discussed it with his wife and she promised to be there for him but she eventually left him a year after which left him broken. I know ho
Camilla's POVIt's been four months since the court case ended, and as expected I won. I could remember vividly, the look on David's face when Catherine played the recording, the look of disgust on everyone present on that day was undeniable.People cursed him for being a pathetic husband and father, all in the name of vengeance, which has eaten deep into him and made him forget about humanity.He signed the divorce papers and I also got a restraining order on him, for the threats he lashed out at me on the recording, he was advised to stay far away from me and the kids or face the law if he decides to do anything stupid again to hurt us.Two weeks after the court case, I heard he left town and has not returned since then.I was at peace with myself as well, knowing my Father wasn't guilty of what David accused him of or what he believed my father did to his family.David's father had gone for a dirty operation, which didn't go as planned and he ended up killing a whole family just to
Camilla's POVAll I just wanted was to divorce his sorry ass and move on with my kids without making a fuss, even when everyone thought otherwise.I just wanted my sanity and my life back. But, since David wants to play dirty with me, I'm going to show him that two can actually play this game. Now that I think about it, I play good comeback games."Meet him in court then" were my last words to Catherine and I meant it, I mean, why not? I have what it takes now to reduce him to nothing, in front of everyone, and make everyone see him for who he truly is.People might think he's one caring father who couldn't bear the thought of staying away from his kids, hence the reason he's fighting for custody. However that wasn't the case here, he never cared for those kids, he never showed them love and now he wants custody just to spite me. I can't believe that I once loved someone as scheming as David.I'm sure he doesn't have an inkling of what's coming for him, his greatest mistake was abduct
Camilla's POV I got home and cracked the door open. "Mommy is back" Jasmine chimed and ran happily to hug me. I smiled and went down on my haunches and carried her, enveloping her in a warm hug. Zion ran towards me, followed by Athena. Who frowned and pouted her mouth. "Is my turn to hug Mommy" she chimed in, pouting and opening her arms for me to see. I smiled, carried Jasmine down, and gave them a group hug instead. "Mommy, why do you have to spend the night at Aunt Serena's house?" Zion asked as soon as we broke the hug. "Grandma said it's because of work," Athena replied. "Right baby, Mommy had a lot of work and we didn't finish on time, so I decided to sleep over. You guys missed Mommy right?" I asked, my face beaming with smiles. "Yes, Mommy we did" they chorused. "Of course they did, they wouldn't even let me rest since morning, they've been asking about you," Rosalie said as she walked into the living room, a surge of smile plastered on her face. I smiled and cares
Rosalie's POVI was seated on the couch when Camilla told me she was going to the mall and she would be back soon, she seemed happy, I was more than glad she was, I just wanted my daughter to be happy again.Camilla used to be a happy girl while growing up, her father loved her dearly, and she had always made us proud, coming out of college with good grades.Her father passed on later, it was a very difficult time for us but we eventually found the courage to face life again. Camilla inspired me so much and all I did, I did for her. Not until she came home one day and told me she met someone, I was so happy that she had someone in her life, her emotions were all over the place about this guy. Months later, she got engaged. Honestly, I wasn't happy about how fast everything was moving but my daughter was so damn happy "Camilla" I called, a few days after her engagement."Yes Mom" she answered, her face beaming with smiles, I could see how happy she was."Are you sure about settling d
David's Pov"Fuck!! How did I let this happen, how could she escape right under my nose? Gosh! I shouldn't have brought her here, maybe if she didn't know her way around the house she wouldn't have escaped, what was I thinking? I should have been more careful" I lamented, clenching my fist hard."Ooouch" I groaned in pain as I struggled to stand on my feet. I walked slowly to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. I needed to be calm to think about what to do next. I gulped down the whole content of the bottle and slowly walked to the living room and sat down on one of the couches."That nitwit had the guts to hit me, and of all places, my freaking balls!" I let out vehemently. I was about reducing her to nothing, I was about reminding her of who she will ever be regardless of how hard she tries not to be that person. She was just some piece of trash that will always be at my mercy.I honestly thought I had this planned out, not until she escaped. I've trailed her for some days now. I
Camilla's Pov"Camilla, Camilla, Camilla" I heard Serena calling my name in panic, that was the last thing I heard before I blacked out again.I groaned as I opened my eyes, I was lying down on a bed and was properly covered with a blanket, it was morning already. "Oouch" I winced in pain as the event of yesterday flooded into my head.I remember how I took off as fast as my legs could carry me, I didn't bother to look back, I knew David was going to have my head if he happened to catch me after I tried to run away.Thankfully, I have been to Serena's place twice and I still remembered her address, I ran out of David's house and boarded a taxi, which brought me to Serena's house.I was lost in my reverie when the door suddenly cracked open and Serena walked in with a cup of coffee and hurriedly joined me on the bed."Thank goodness, you're awake" She muttered and pulled me into a warm hug."I was so scared when you fainted last night," she said as soon as we broke the hug. "Here, th
I opened my eyes slowly, trying to adjust my eyes to the light in the room, I groaned in pain, scanning the room.The events of what happened earlier came flooding into my head, David had abducted me, I knew it, that crazy man was up to no good after all.It dawned on me that I was in the guest room at David's house, I used to live here so I recognized where I was instantly, my hands were tied to the back of a chair. I struggled to untie myself but I couldn't. I tried harder and the rope began to loosen by itself, I dragged out one of my hands while the other was still tied up in the rope.I knew David was going to be here anything soon, I needed to act fast before he comes. I slid my hand into my back pocket and found my phone, thankfully he didn't collect it.I wanted to call my Mom for help but at the same time, I didn't want to put her in harm's way. It was almost evening and I knew she was going to be worried sick.I texted her that I would be sleeping over at Serena's place fo
I woke up the next day with a migraine from the hangover. I dragged myself out of bed and entered the bathroom for a quick shower. Thank goodness it was the weekend, otherwise, I would have gone to work with a headache. I changed into something casual and headed downstairs to make breakfast before Zion and his siblings wakes up. I was almost done with making breakfast when Athena walked into the kitchen. "Good morning Mommy" she greeted, trying to rub the sleep off her eyes. "And how is my sunshine doing this morning?" I asked with a smile plastered on my face. "Great Mommy" She replied. "What are you making for breakfast Mommy?" Jasmine asked happily as soon as she entered the kitchen whilst walking up to me for a hug. That was something she does whenever she wakes up from sleep. She would hug my legs with her tiny hands or open her arms for a hug, I always find it cute whenever she does that. "Mommy is making macaroni and cheese, now, you both go upstairs and freshen up, t
