Nancy wept and wept till she fell asleep from exhaustion.She realised that she did not have supporters.Mrs. Potts that would have been her witness was not really there when she heard it. They would have asked her if she heard it with her own ears and she would have said truthfully that Nancy had told it to her as soon as she came out of her quarters.Which still boils down to having concrete evidence.And she did not want to involve her except if absolutely necessary because she did not want her to get into trouble with the owners of the house on her account.She was really exhausted. She had stressed herself much more than she had realised.The next day, she could not get up early and even if she could, she would not have gone into the mansion because she knew the recriminations that would be thrown at her. It surprised her though that Jason did not believe her. He would rather believe Phoebe than her? It showed how deeply the feelings he claimed to have for her ran.She had not wa
After that, Jason had slept fitfully, bothered by alot of things.He did not know how to face Vera, though that was little compared to other things he had to think about.He did not know if he should take Nancy's advice and have another DNA test conducted elsewhere so that he would not need to insult Dr. Manuel at least until he confirmed that the first test had been doctored.His sister would not agree to that, she would feel that it was an insult to Phoebe's womanhood and indeed to all women in general.He also did not know what to make of Nancy.He would have sworn that she loved him but with the recent developments, he just could not believe that she actually cared about him and it was killing him slowly.The next day, very early as he heard movements, he knew instantly that Vera was preparing to leave.He went into her room after knocking and being invited in.'Vera, could you forgive me for how I acted last night? Tell me how I can make it up to you and if it is within my powers
At breakfast, Phoebe was exceptionally sweet. Jason found her sweetness cloying and it irritated him but he had to suffer her in silence because of his sister.Sally was not helping matters at all. She was supporting Phoebe blindly and he loved his sister so much that he did not want to hurt her feelings. She was the only family he had.'I know you had a visitor last night. Has she left already?' Phoebe asked.'What visitor? If you were referring to Nancy, did you not see when she left?''I am not referring to that lying bitch!' Phoebe said with a lot of Venom. 'I am talking about the sweet thing that came for you last night', she concluded with feigned sweetness.'Mind your tongue. Nancy is not a bitch and as for the lying part, we shall see about that and are you spying on me now?' Jason asked angry with Phoebe.'And what would you mean by that? I mean about seeing if Nancy is lying or not. Of course, she is lying and like I said Phoebe will not undergo any other test to prove her
Rodney was going through the papers when he came across the column talking about the Campbell Enterprises.Campbell Enterprises at it Again, was the headline and it read:'Billionaire Jason Campbell has done it again. Not only did he hold the traditional end of year party in appreciation to his staff for their untiring and relentless efforts through out the year, he also organized a charity event for the underprivileged children where food and Christmas gifts was given to every child present.We need more of such Philanthropists.Asking what gave him the idea, he gave the credit to one of his employee, Nancy Jones and he was seen dancing with Nancy many times diluting the event. Is this a budding romance or is it just a boss appreciating an employee? When asked if he was in a relationship with her, he refused to comment. We shall find out with time and let you know'.Rodney saw the pictures but concentrated more on the one where Jason was dancing with a very becoming Nancy.She was in
Jason went to Nancy's quarters seeking answers to the questions burning in his heart. Did she kiss Alfred to spite him, make him jealous or because she wanted to? Did they have any other intimate relations that night? What was her real feelings towards him?He needed to know the answer to these questions before taking any step forward.He met her playing hide and seek with the children. He hid and watched them for a while. Nancy really had a way with children, he thought to himself. Ashe will be a great mother. See how she handled the children at the party the other day. The children were virtually worshipping her and it was not just because she was distributing food and gifts to them. The rapport could not be denied.Vaughn was the first to see him.'Uncle Jason. Did you come here to play with us?'Nancy looked round and saw him and her heart skipped a beat. He looked so handsome in his singlet and shorts.She could not take her eyes off him and wanted to walk into his arms.Jason
Rodney got to his house with trepidation. He did not know why he was afraid but his wife had really surprised him.He had had to sponsor the abortion of alot of babies because he did not want to antagonize his wife because a large portion of his wealth came from his wife. Her family was a powerful one and antagonizing her would mean digging his own grave.It was not really as though he loved her but he could not afford to become less wealthy than he was at the moment.He who pays the piper dictates the tune and he always danced to the tune of his father in law and his sons.He had expected his wife to vent her anger on him for his unfaithfulness but she just welcomed him home as though nothing happened.Her behaviour, rather than put her at ease, made him more afraid because he just did not know what was going on in her mind.'Could you tell the maid what you would like to eat, so that it can be brought for you', she said.'I do not think I can eat anything'. he said though he was fam
Jason had come for answers and wanted to prove a point but he lost control as soon as he touched her.He could not stop kissing Nancy. He had even forgotten that he had left the door open and did not seem to care.She nestled against his shoulder and he gently lifted her chin again. He felt drawn continuously to her lips. They were so full and luscious and sweet and right now, they were full and swollen from his kisses.His lips moved towards hers again and Nancy's arms went round him.Tenderly and gently, his hands slid over her body. The pressure of his hands against her cloth aroused her flesh.Their mouths joined again as Jason leaned back pulling her on top of him. The muscle of their bodies pressed together, testing, reaching.She was aware of the growing hardness between his legs and the arousal if her nipples as they pressed against his skin. She had not known when he removed the singlet he was wearing. She had been so carried away with what she was feeling which kept increasi
Nancy went into the washroom and had her face washed. She changed into a jean and a T shirt. Packed her hair up in a ponytail and with her slippers, she went into the mansion and the children flew into her arms and she led them into the playroom where they played for a very long time.Playing with the children took Nancy's mind off the problem besieging her. She laughed and laughed at their pranks.Jason who had been going in to his room for a change of clothes so he could go out was attracted to the sound of her laughter and loved it.He went to the room and stood by the door watching her play with the children. He imagined the both of them having their own children and playing with them together this way with so much love and abandon.He was smiling as he watched her. She looked so much younger. She was young but right at that moment, she looked not too older than the children she was playing with. He felt bereft. He was missing out on the fun while they were having all the fun, yet
Josephine was already six and a big girl. She helped in taking care of her siblings.Yes, Nancy gave both to a set of twins. Both boys not long after Josephine came back home and they were three years old and terrorizes them in the house. Thank goodness for their elder sister who try to keep them in line.Nancy had thought that she would stay a bit longer before allowing herself to get pregnant again but since she and Jason could hardly keep their hands of each other, she soon found that she was pregnant again and had just given birth to a beautiful girl.'Get ready for another set of twins', Jason joked one day and Nancy threw a pillow playfully at him.'You think it is easy carrying them in the womb for nine months and then the ordeal at the hospital to get them out?'Jason hugged her lovingly. 'I know all that and I shall forever be indebted to you. I never thought I could be this happy. You have brought untold joy into my life and I can assure you that I am very grateful''You hav
Mattias took her to the new venue praying that he would still be in the men's trusted books.Like he had foretold, the security was tighter.But raising his hands and asking the ma'am to do the same, they were able to get within some inches of the place.'Comrades', Mattias calked cheerfully. 'I am the ma'am came back from prison where we had gone to see the boss and he had ordered that the little girl be sent back to her parents and that was why we came here to get her. I didn't know that she was to come with me, she was supposed to have stayed at home while I brought the girl to her but she has trust issues because she has not had dealings with us before. She does not know that there is loyalty amongst thieves'.But if that is the case why did you give us the prompt to vacate the place immediately?''The reason is because I was shocked that she had followed me to this place but she is our boss' wife afterall and it's her prerogative. If not for the fact that it will be somewhat risk
As soon as Mattias came out from the prison, Rodney's wife followed him. She was cunning and made sure he did not realise that he was followed.She followed him to a place where she was sure they were keeping Josephine.As soon as he entered, she sneeked in after him and then she saw the girl and those guarding her.'Mattias, who is this woman with you?'Mattias looked back only to find the boss' wife behind him. How had she followed him without him being aware of it? He felt that the boss was going to do away with him because considering what the woman had in mind for the little girl, the boss would never forgive him for such a skip and would haunt him down to the lowest of the underworld to get him and extract his pound of flesh from him.'Ma'am, what is the problem? If you needed something, you could have asked me for it and I would have supplied it''Mattias, who is she?''She is the boss' wife'.'Welcome ma'am, we didn't know that the boss would send you to such a place as this'.
Rodney, called Mattias and told him what he had decided.Mattias who had not felt very comfortable kidnapping a child was happy that his boss had reached such a noble decision as to give the child back to her parents.He wished though that he had made that decision before the deed was actually done. Taking the child back now was going to take all his wit's because he knew that there were searches everywhere for them. He had barely managed to take the girl out in the first place.'How does she look?' Rodney asked curious for the first time to know how Josephine looked.'I must say that she is going to be a most stunning woman. I pity the men. She will cause alot of heart break. She has dark hair and same colour of eyes as you. Now that I think of it, she looks so much like you'.Rodney smiled. It made him happy that his daughter looked more like him than her mother. It made him burst with male pride and made him more determined to do right by her.They were still talking when his wife
She could not believe what she was hearing and wondered what kind of fish brain the man she had married had.How could he allow someone to know the plan he was making even before he made it? What had given him such confidence ?She had known that Rodney was capable of doing what Nancy had said even without the threat he had made. He had alot of men of questionable behaviour which she was only starting to know since the court case, who were working for him. He could easily ask one of them to do his dirty jobs while he pretended in oven e in prison.'If what you have said is true, then the best place for you to have gone is the Prison. Go there and speak to him. Most probable, your tears would do what nothing else can do. I am a woman and I believe that he is still fascinated with you no matter how he tries to pretend that that isn't so'.'God forbid it!' Nancy said before she realised herself. 'I am really sorry. I forgot myself for a moment'.'For what? You just expressed your emotion
Nancy had been hiding her panic and impatience except for her occasional request to be told of the progress of the search that had been organized for her child.She could bear no more. It was close to a week now since Josephine was abducted. She feared to consider what may have been done to her or what miserable condition she had been kept.She had consoled herself with the belief that her biological father must have given instructions that no one should harm his child but she had no real faith in that assumption.The man was a beast and would not mind doing away with anyone or anything that stood in the way of what he wanted even if that person was his own child.Afterall, he had not wanted this particular child and had gone out of his way to terminate her life, what guarantee did she have that her suffering would touch him on any way?She had not been able to sleep well at night and that she managed to eat was because of the life growing in her She did not want to punish it for the
Jason walked home dejected He knew that he had no evidence that Richmond was behind his daughter's abduction but he knew that he was the brain behind it all. He masterminded the whole operation. All his threat had gone unheeded. He had not even boasted of being responsible because he had come prepared for any contingencies like recording his confessions,boasts and threats but he had been surprisingly in control of his emotions and why not, he must feel in charge nowImagine him congratulating Jason on his wedding to Nancy. 'It had made the papers and news for weeks on end. You have it all now, a wife- a doting wife and a child and soon more children'.It would have flattered him to hear that but it had not brought joy be ause he had also mocked him. 'I hope for this recklessness of yours, Nancy never gives you peace and the marriage that you thought would bring you happiness, let it turn out to bring you misery'.And he was indeed miserable since Josephine had gone missing. Nancy ha
The police did not find anything the previous day and we're going to continue their search of cars that dayVery early that morning, Jason set out to the prison where Rodney was serving term He had been there for about Two years and out of the twenty five years he was given, he was going to be out on parole in the next three years for good behaviour.He had masterminded that because once he had been convicted, there was nothing his wife could do except for him to follow the advice of his lawyer to act well so that he would be paroled.The prison Warden came to tell him that he had a visitor.' Male or female?''Male. What would you want to do with a female in your state?'He wanted to give him a punch on the mouth. Must he have any lascivious intentions towards any female that came to visit him? Couldn't his wife visit? Though not surprising, his wife seemed to have abandoned him. She was already paying him back in kind by having male companions when he was free since revealing her t
The car drive off in high speed. The man considered this the most dangerous job he had ever done and praised himself for coming out of it successful.He had never had to abduct a child before and that too in the presence of her parents.He wouldn't say the parents were careless. How could they have known that their child was not safe in their own premises? The child had wandered out and he had been keeping watch over the house for close to a month now and felt that he knew the grounds. He had not expected to kidnap the girl that day but luck had been with him and it was though his spirit had called out to the girl and the girl had stroll down to his path and he could not believe his luck. He had called her and she had refused to come close to him at first,then he had said he was friends to her dad and mum and where could he find them?She had relaxed then and trusting as the child that she was had pointed towards her mum and dad, while her attention was diverted, He had carried her.
