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
Jason got to Dr. Manuel's office. Indeed, he had gone to check on some patience. The receptionist asked him to wait.'Good afternoon Dr'. Jason greeted the doctor as soon as he saw him.'Good afternoon Jason Campbell. Please, come with me into my office'.As soon as the door shut behind them, Jason went straight to the reason for his visit.'Doctor, I need your help but before then, I'd like to ask you a few questions'.'Go ahead''Doc, is it possible for a woman to get pregnant while on the pill?' Jason asked.'It is. Not because of the ineffectiveness of the drug but due to certain conditions that were not met. She may have forgotten to take one day and once that happens, no matter how many she takes it afterwards, it would not make any difference.Also, if it is a change of pills, it may not match with her body mechanisms and could prove to be ineffective'. the doctor explained patiently. 'But what is the use of all these questions you are asking?''One of my friends with whom I ha
Jason gave Phoebe a call and asked her to see him that evening. He cancelled all his appointment for that day so that he could get home early. Phoebe had had another row with Romeo who had disagreed with her plans. He was sure that the baby was his and not Jason's. He had no proof but he could feel it in his hits and he wanted what was his. 'And I have told you that the baby isn't yours and you will have to get prepared to leave my house because the father of my child may just get jealous or angry if he found out that you were co habiting with the mother of his child', she told him. 'Don't count your chicks before they are hatched. How are you sure Jason would be foolish enough to believe that the child is his without a paternity test?' 'You do not have to concern yourself with that. I have it all sorted out. It will all turn out in my favour, you'll see' Phoebe said confidently. Romeo didn't know what she had in mind and though he tried to find out, she just laughed merrily but
Phoebe went back to the house in deep thought She decided that she knew what she must do first the next day.She was shocked to see Romeo's bag full and knew what he was planning.'Romeo, what is the meaning of this?''I thought that it was pretty obvious. I am leaving. I shall leave first thing in the morning'.'But why? I know that I asked you to prepare to leave my life forever but there is still time and you do not need to go far from here. We shall still be seeing each other'.'Listen to yourself. You want desperately to get married to Jason and it would seem that your wish is about to be fulfilled and yet you want me around and you are saying that being with Jason as his wife would not stop us from continuing our affair? What kind of person are you and for how long do you think you will be able to keep it up before you are found out and then all your careful planning would be ruined?''Then at least I will have been his wife for sometime and if he decided to divorce me, I will
The day arrived and Jason drove Phoebe to the hospital. He had informed Dr. Manuel that they would be there at about 10am. 'Good morning Jason' 'Good morning, Dr' 'And who is this lovely lady with you?' 'She is my friend whom I told you about. She is Phoebe and we are here for the tests', Jason said anxious for the whole thing to be conducted and done with. 'Oh yes, you mentioned that at our last discussion. Young lady...' 'Phoebe!' She said reminding her of her name. 'Yes, Phoebe. You do not have to be scared. It is not a painful procedure. We shall be done in no time and the results will be out by morning, tomorrow That's the DNA test that is. The other will be ready almost immediately. So calm down' the doctor tried reassuring her. She smiled her thanks and made a visible effort to calm down. Blood samples were taken and their names written and taped on the syringe. They were then asked to wait at the reception. The doctor took the samples to the lab technician who got on
Early the next day, Jason got ready to go to the hospital. He didn't need to ask Manuel if it was ready because he had assured him the previous day that he would definitely get the test results.He got to the hospital after being Ed up in traffic.'Good morning, Jason. You are here quite early', Manuel greeted him.'Yes. I have been anxious about the test results since we left here yesterday. You assured me it would be ready. Hope it is?''Yes. But Jason?''Yes?''Would it really be a bad thing if the baby was yours? Don't you long for a family of your own? Sorry that was the wrong choice of words.Don't you long to have children of your own? You are a very wealthy man. Does having an heir not sound pleasing to you?' the doctor asked curiously.'Why are you asking these questions? I do not mind at all. I may not have given it much thought when Rebecca and I were still married and even afterwards but since the recent developments, I have wondered why I have not given a thought to it. A
Phoebe led Jason into her office. Returning the greetings her girls threw her way as she went in.As soon as the door was shut behind them, Jason went straight to the point.'Phoebe, the test results are out''I deduced as such. That is the only thing that could make you as impatient as you sounded on the phone. So, what about it? What does it say?''It states that the baby is, eh that the baby is mine'. It had been difficult for him to say the word bit it had to be said.He could not tell the reason why the news did not bring him any joy. And he knew that it was not just because of Nancy. He felt like seeking a second opinion but Manuel could not have lied about the test results. What would he gain from that? He had the best lab technicians. And he felt bad having to ask her to go for another DNA test.'Jason, it will not bite you to say the word baby. I know that this is a novel idea to you and it is to be as well but we cannot shy away from it. We have to face it head on like adult
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.
