Romeo was thunderstruck. This could not be.'Did you say that you were pregnant with Jason's child?''Yes. How many times must I repeat myself? I know that this must have come as a shock to you but there it is. I was shocked myself when I found out. I had not really planned it's, she said and bit her tongue because she felt that she had just revealed herself to him. By her utterance, he must know that she wasn't sure who the father of the baby was.'Stupid me. Instead of keeping my mouth shut. Now I have to answer more questions', she thought to herself. But aloud she said, 'I had wanted to get pregnant and trap Jason into marriage but I didn't know when it had actually happened until I fainted this afternoon and the doctor had to be sent for and she confirmed that I was a month pregnant'.'A month? Are you sure of that?' he asked, hope shinning in his eyes.'What do you mean, 'Are you sure? Of course I am sure. I just told you that the doctor just confir...''Yes the doctor confirmed
Jason was not sleeping well these days. He could not believe that he was feeling this way about a woman who apparently did not feel the same way for him and who had been avoiding him.He had been the one to avoid her before but the tables were turned now.He wanted to see her more but she was not ready for that.On one occasion, he had asked her if she was scared of him and she had denied it but that was the only logical explanation for the way she was acting towards him.Another source of concern was that Rebecca was now working closely with him. She had come up with another business deal. He had at first been sceptical. thinking that, that was another way she was trying to get close to her but it turned out to be real and his competitors had been eyeing such a contract.He had to accept to do it for her and those she was representing.It had been very profitable this far. He had worked on the project relentlessly. Not only because that was how seriously he handled his business but b
Pregnant? It was like a bombshell in Jason's ears as he echoed Nancy's thoughts.'What are you saying?''I am saying that I am pregnant with your child'.'My child? How so? We had always taken precautions!''Yes. But you see this things happen. There are always exceptions and mistakes And when it happens, we cannot run away from it'. she said looking worried.'When did this happen?''I do not know but I found out today. I had been ignorant other wise. I had felt dizzy at the office and collapsed. The doctor was sent for and she confirmed it. I am about a month gone'.'So, what do you want to do about it?'Jason asked confused.'What do I want to do about it? What kind of question is that? I should be asking you what decision you ate going to take about it'.'That's true but how do you know that it is mine? Afterall, ours was an open relationship and you had other partners and you just found out today. So how could you just conclude that the baby is mine and not any other person's?'I k
Nancy flew to her quarters, not wanting nor waiting to chat with Mrs. Potts her good friend.She did not even remember to wish her a good night.Only one word kept ringing in her ears.'Pregnant! Pregnant! Pregnant! Preg...'She could not understand why she was feeling so restless and tearful. Afterall she was pregnant herself and would be due in about five months. So why was she so upset about someone else's pregnancy?She could not deny it. She knew the reason the news bothered her. It bothered her because of the involvement Jason. The father of the baby was her problem because she had foolishly fallen in love with him and with the recent developments between them, she had hoped that he was beginning to like her as well but his ex wife was always with him and from the look of things,Jason liked working and going out with Rebecca his ex wife. She would not be surprised if they had become intimate and would soon remarry.She had been consoling herself with the thought that it could j
Nancy went to the office very early, the next day. She didn't want to go in the same car with Jason. The activities that have occured recently had made her realise that she did want so much to be with Jason.He was such a good and generous man but she wanted more. More than he was willing to offer. If he had once said that he loved her, even without a marriage proposal, she would have willingly been with him hopeful that marriage would definitely follow.He was honest and didn't want to lie to her. So if he had said he loved her, then she would have known that he spoke the truth.Being in the closure a car would provide might just make her lose her cool and reveal her true feelings to Jason and she did not want his pity. She would just continue to act aloof. Afterall, all hope was lost, he had his ex wife vying to come back into his life and one of his mistresses was expecting his baby. What chance did she have especially being pregnant with another man's child and growing fat and ugl
Anna allowed her to cry to her heart"s content.'Let it out. It is better that way than bottling it up', she said as she allowed her to cry her heart out.Nancy calmed later and wiped her eyes.'I am really sorry. I am normally not such a nuisance', she apologised.'It is good to let out your emotions once in a while because it is not too good bottling them up all the time. Now will you tell me what this is all about? And I need the truth. Don't tell me it is about your baby's father because I will not buy it. I know it had something to do with Jason. I am not a fool'.'But how could it be about Jason? What do you mean?' Nancy hedged.'I am your friend Nancy. At least I hope I am because I consider you to be my friend. Don't take me for a fool.Tell me what our boss has done that has troubled you this much. You know of course that your confidence is safe with me'.'He had gone and got one of his mistresses pregnant', Nancy blurted.Anna could see. But she kept quiet so that Nancy could
After listening to Nancy's narration, Anna was sure that Nancy was madly in love with Jason but might just not admit it.'I have listened to your story and it is a very sad one but the fresh heartbreak you are currently experiencing is not about that cheat Rodney. It is about Jason and it is because of your fear of losing him especially to this pregnant mistress of his.But I am confused. There seem to be something, you are not telling me. Has Jason expressed any feelings for you?''What has that got to do with anything?''Okay, so he has. And you? Have you told him how you feel?''Why should I? I told him that I refuse to be a play thing for any rich man.I was once inadvertently the play thing of one rich fool but not again.'You mean he told you that he loved you and you just assumed that he wanted you to be his play thing? How can you be so sure that is the only thing he wants from you?' Anna asked amused.'No. That is the problem see? At least Rodney told me that he loved me th
'Bryan is fine. He has decided that he would take me to meet his parents for Thanksgiving. I am happy but also apprehensive. I want so much for his parents and relatives to love me. He has assured me that they would but I still cannot help feeling anxious'.Anna confided.'Oh Anna. And you have been having this in your mind since with no one to share it with while I have been here so consumed by my problems that I haven't even noticed', Nancy said hugging Anna.'Its okay Nancy. I am not complaining'.'You do not need to complain. As a friend, I should have asked about your plans sooner. But you do not have to worry. Bryan's parents and relatives have no option but to love you. No one can resist loving you, you know?'Anna was so grateful that she hugged Nancy closer.'I want for it to work this time. I have been through alot. Three heartbreaks and all it's fittings'. She laughed. Nancy was shocked. She had just suffered one heartbreak and it was as devastating as this, and Anna was tal
