'Okay dear, if you were able to deduce all these about Phoebe, only moments after meeting with her, then what do you think of Nancy?' Sally asked.'I know what I have deduced from her as well but I shall give a better diagnosis if I knew more about her pregnancy and why that man had wanted to see the both of you Jason?' he phrase it as a question.Jason had wanted it to remain a secret from his sister. And still did.'Come with me for a walk round the premises, there is something I need to discuss with you'. Jason said walking out.'I asked a question and I need answers', Sally said as her husband followed Jason out.'You will have your answers but it shall have to wait for now. business calls.They walked for sometime but Jason did not say anything. He seemed to be deep in thought.Chris felt sure that he must have forgotten that he was there with him Oh, the trouble women caused men. The pain of the heart was not easy to resolve. He felt pity for Jason because he knew the indecisi
'Please, from henceforth, be careful. Richmond' is a man of questionable character. I know him. He might try to take you forcefully'. Jason advised.'I am not a child and I know Rodney. I am carrying his illegitimate child afterall and saying this is not going to stop me from moving out as I have planned. I had better be abducted by the devil I know Rodney to be than stay in a deceptive paradise that you provide', Nancy retorted.'It is because you are not a child and I cannot watch over you twenty four- seven that I am giving you this warning and how can you protect yourself if you are alone out there somewhere with no one to watch over you?', Jason asked exasperated. He had thought that, she would be grateful for his concern but he was wrong. She just did not give a damn and Chris was telling him how he was sure Nancy loved him? He must have blurry vision. How can someone be as stubborn as this?Nancy walked away from him. They had seen in the compound as Nancy came to get somethin
'Oh Chris, you are here. Watch the children. I will be right back'.Chris nodded but Jason did not even see his nod but was already on his way towards Nancy's quarters.Chris knew that it was possible that Jason would take a while before returning.One of the reasons these two love birds quarrel frequently was because they were feeling starved if each other's love, attention and company.They might not admit it but they wanted to desperately make love to each other and express their love for each other in many ways without inhibition.Chris shook his head. If only people would just state what they wanted sincerely. Life would be much easier.He went and started playing with his children.Jason got to her quarters just as she was about to shut the door.As soon as she saw him, she hastened to shit the door in his face but he put his foot in and it stop the door from shutting.He pushed the door open,went in with her and then shut the door.'What are you doing here? Are you through ins
Nancy cried and cried. She could not believe that she had allowed herself to be humiliated this way.What was it with her that she could not think rationally anytime Jason came close to her?She had virtually fallen into his arms. So he was right in calling her surrender to her attention by reminding her of her denial.She slept and when she woke, she concentrated on looking for a dress that would flatter her as she went in her date with Alfred.He had been jealous when she had done nothing with Alfred.Now, she was going to give him something to be jealous about.When they got back from their day out, Nancy knew because the children ran to her quarters chatting excitedly about all they did and their experiences.Nancy convinced them later to go in, have a bath to wash off the dirt, eat if they felt like it and have a nap.She read a little till it was time for her to get dressed.She brought out the dress she had chosen, silvery ash gown, sleeveless, flared from the breast line down
Alfred led Nancy to the floor where other couples were dancing.Nancy stole a glance at Jason from under her lashes and saw that he had an ugly frown on his face.It gave her a kind of satisfaction.The music was slow and as they danced, Alfred drew her closer and whispered something in her ears.She was not amused but she laughed and said 'Thank you', because she was determined to make Jason sweat.Without seeming to look his way, she stole a glance Jason's way again and seeing that he was still looking their way with murder in his eyes, she moved closer to Alfred, her hands went round his neck and she whispered something in his ears as well.Alfred smiled his thanks at the compliment she paid him.He tipped her face up and looked deeply into her eyes with Nancy praying that he does not kiss her. She was not attracted to him that way. She said something to divert his attention and rested her head on his shoulder. That way, she avoided being kissed by him and at the same time did not
Pregnant?'Alfred, did you anything I said at all? You are so quiet'.Pregnant? How? It was definitely not Campbell's going by what she had said then whose could it be?Nancy did not look to him like someone who was promiscuous but then one could never tell but maybe there was a story behind the pregnancy.'Alfred?''Yes? Yes, I heard all that you said but you must either have a very tiny stomach or else you know how to camouflage the pregnancy. I could never have guessed. But tell me, If Jason is not the father, who then is?''He is someone you do not know and I do not want to involve you in this. It is really complicated', she said tired of telling people the origin of her pregnancy.'Were you in love with him?''At the time, I thought that I was. He was my very first. But I didn't know that behind his persistent pursuit of me and his determination to make me fall for him was all a farce. It was aimed at getting between my thighs.When he realised I was pregnant, he asked me to abor
Rodney seeing that they had stood knew that they were ready to leave. He went out first to where he had parked the car he had rented for this purpose. He had intentionally not come with his own car.He drove close to where he saw the young man park his own car so that what he had in mind would be easily achieved.He left the car on and waited with a hood hiding his face.Alfred and Nancy left the place holding hands and smiling at each other like great friends but Jason who was staring at them felt that they were looking and smiling at each other like lovers who could not wait to get under each other's pants.He had a murderous glint in his eye.'Not on my watch!' he thought to himself. He was going to make sure Alfred took Nancy home this instant. They were not going to go anywhere else if he had anything to say about it.Being so occupied, he did not notice anything amiss. His focus was just on the couple he was guarding.As Alfred opened the door to Nancy and she was about to step
Rodney had been silent all this while watching the road and Jason alternatively. He was anxious because he knew that Nancy must be in grave danger but not wanting to antagonize Jason by asking any unwarranted questions.But after a while, he could not keep quiet any longer.'What car type are we looking for?' he asked.'I don't know '.'Please tell me, two pairs of eyes are most definitely better than a pair. I am as bothered as you about the plight of Nancy especially in her condition'.Jason had wanted to shout at him to stop pestering him but his words surprised him. First he spoke the truth about the pair of eyes but that was not f he knew what car to look for but he didn't and it was making him feel helpless and useless which are not the type of feelings he relished.Secondly, he was amazed that Alfred had noticed Nancy's pregnancy and had still gone out on a date with her. This could only mean that his feelings for her ran deep. Deeper than he had envisaged or was Nancy the one
