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
Nancy Jones walked and walked without having any destination in mind. She was fed up with Life.How could Rodney do this to her? She must have been a fool to believe him.Her mother had always called her a slow wit. So, maybe that was what she was. If she weren't how could she have fallen for his tricks and lies?It doesn't matter now, there was nothing she could do. She just had to think of a way forward or take the easy way out.She was out of job and didn't really have a roof over her head.The slum where she had got a cheap accommodation was rat infested and the walls got soaked up easily.She had no bed of her own. She had had to sell a lot of her things just to get enough money to move out of the town.It reminded her of a lot of things that she would rather forget.She didn't know what she would do, how to get the next meal but with her education at College, she had tried to get a job as someone's secretary or receptionist or any type of job for that matter that would help her
'O God, save this girl. Don't let her die'.Jason could not remember the last time he had prayed. It must have been during their growing up years but he had since forgotten how to pray. But he was actually praying as he drove like the devil was after him to the hospital.That was the problem with Lake District. all the sceneries and paths. It was almost as though getting to the hospital was going to take the whole day but he eventually got to the hospital.He carried her in and with strict orders, Nancy was taken to the intensive care unit.He made the necessary monetary depositions for the treatment to commence at once and the doctor on duty, Doc Manuel took charge.Her fore head had hit the bonet of his car and there was a big lump there.They tried reviving her.Jason did not want to be charged with manslaughter but apart from that a young life was on the line and he did not want to be responsible for the lose of such a life.Jason did not know what had troubled the girl so much th
'Please, do you know what happened and how I ended up in the hospital?''And I just asked you if you were married?''No, why do you ask?' she asked him before remembering that she had been at the hospital and the doctor most probably had checked her and found out the truth about her and told this man about her pregnancy. But she was not going to reveal anything until she was sure what he knows and what he does. She was not going to reveal anything to him at all. Afterall, she owed him no explanation except thanks for helping her though how exactly he had come to help her was still what she could not fathom.'You have my answer. I am not married at least, not yet. So would you kindly tell me what happened to me that I had to be hospitalized?' She said and flinched as she felt a wave of pain shoot through her head.He was at once sorry that he had made her talk too much when she should have been sleeping or relaxing.'Its okay. I shall tell you all about it later, just rest your head on
'Thank you for the money but how are you going to get me the job?''I now know where you are living, that was one reason I wanted to take you home. So, I shall get in touch with you. I have to speak with my friend and see what vacancies he has at this firm. I shall call in a favour he owes me and get you the job. But he is a perfectionist. He likes his employers being dedicated to duty. If you are lax with your work, then he just might relieve you of the job and I would be unable to do anything about it'.'You do not have to worry. I shall not disappoint him. He will never regret giving me the job and neither will you for getting me the job', she gushed out excitedly.The excitement on her face was something to behold.'I have not spoken to him yet. You don't have to thank me yet'.'No matter what his response is, that you have thought of it is enough for me and I am sure that even if he does not have a vacancy, you would find another place for me, I am sure of that'.'So much confide
Jason Campbell was a divorcee who was dedicated to his work or anything he set his mind to do.He had decided that he was not going to get married again after his divorce. His wife Rebecca who he had loved dearly and had done everything to satisfy in every way had run away with his best friend.He could not believe it at first. They had all been so close that even when Brian had visited his wife in his absence, he had not thought much of it.Of course he had come home unexpectedly a few times because he had forgotten something and had met them together chatting and laughing and he had thought nothing of it and had also left them alone and gone back to work. Little had he known that they had been having an affair.When Rebecca started acting funny, it was his best friend Terry that he had gone to.'Terry, did Rebecca complain about anything to you?' Terry had been shocked but when he realised that it was just an innocent question, he had said, 'What is the problem? Are you having prob
'Terry, my dearest friend,I know you must be working on a very tight schedule or in a formal gathering that has made you unable to pick my calls. I understand that but I want to plead with you to give me a call as soon as you are free of your engagements or better still come to the house. I have something very important to talk to you about. It involves Rebecca.I am eagerly expecting your call. Thanks.'After writing that, he felt a little relieved. He had dismissed all the help for the day. Those who lived with him had retired to their quarters, those who came from their homes had gone back home in obedience to his instructions.He paced back and forth in the living room. But he could not help his restlessness. He went into his study but he felt claustrophobic and rushed out. He paced the garden but was impatient. He dialled Terry's number again but this time it was switched off.'What is happening?'He could bear the suspense no longer so, he brought out the letter, the maid had
Jason felt an intense pain in his heart. He felt faint. He was sure that he was having a seizure. No! this could not be happening. It must be a nightmare. He was sure he was going to wake from this soon and find that it had all been one hell of a horrible dream.What was this? How could Rebecca do this to him? Rebecca who he had loved with all his heart and done all that he could to satisfy.He thought of Terry. They had been friends from high school and then in college. They had been closer than biological brothers. They had shared everything. Okay, almost everything, except of course their girls.Terry had been his best man at his wedding.That had been the happiest day of his life. The day he made the woman he loved, his formerly.He had been happy when Terry and Rebecca had got along very well. It would have grieved him if they had not got along but he did not have that to contend with.He had tried to be the best husband that he could possibly be. Being very attentive and satisfy
