Nancy heaved a sigh of relief as she came out of her hiding place.Her legs were cramped. She had had to lean on something to prevent her from feeling dizzy. as much as she had wanted to hear and know more, she had also been tired and her condition was not one that she had to stand of squat for long.She stretched herself gingerly and walked back home. She had had enough strolling for one night.As she walked home, she wondered at all that she had heard.Okay, so Phoebe was not faithful to Jason but what is new? Also their relationship like Jason had confessed to her that night was an open one. She had not really believed it but she did now. So she could have other sexual partners if she felt like it.That did not puzzle her. What puzzled her was the claim of the man with her, Romeo or whatever his name was.He had said something about him not convinced that the pregnancy was Jason, he was sure that it was his.For a man to say that, he must have a legit reason for his convictions.'N
Nancy felt uncomfortable because even as she helped out, she could feel Mrs. Potts eyes on her.'Okay, Mrs. Potts, what do you have in mind?'What do you mean?''You have been staring at me all morning. Tell me if I passed inspection or mot'.Mrs. Potts burst out laughing.'It is good that you asked this. Have you looked at the mirror lately? You are an eye sire. Child, what are you doing to yourself?'Nancy was unreasonable vexed.'I am pregnant, in case you haven't noticed and you do not expect me to look hot with all the pregnancy blues!' she snapped.Mrs. Potts looked at her shocked. Nancy had never spoken to her that way before. The problem was even more than she had imagined and it was not as a result of the mood swings associated with pregnancy.Nancy caught herself. Why was she taking out her frustrations on poor Mrs. Potts? She had done nothing to annoy her but had made sure her stay in the house was comfortable.'I am sorry. I do not know what the problem is with me', she sa
The weekend passed by so slowly for Nancy. She went to the Catholic church nearby to worship.She was not sure if she heard half of what was being said or not but at least it gave her time to go away from the house.Even the programs on television was no longer entertaining nor distracting her from her thoughts.Her work was the only thing she could bury herself in. She could not wait for Monday.After service, she went home and into the main house where Mrs. Potts told her that Phoebe had come to visit and was with the boss.Nancy's mood that was not good previously, got worse.'It's okay. I know how you feel. Like I told you, everything will be alright. You just wait and see'.Nancy smiled uncertainly. How was it going to get better? she thought. Instead, it could only get worse.'I am older than you ain't I?''You are!''Then trust me when I say that you will look back on these happenings and laugh at the way you allowed yourself to be affected. And from hence forth, don't call me
Nancy went back to her quarters after the meal to relax a bit and once it was evening, she went on the stroll like she had promised Potts.She went round and round the area but did not find any trace of Phoebe nor the guy she had seen with her that night.She started feeling dizzy. She had had nothing much to eat and she felt hungry. She wished that she had brought some pickles with her.She walked a little away from Phoebe's apartment. There was a side walk,she sat somewhere there trying to regain her equilibrium.'Why am I even going through all these? For someone who does not even care for me?' she thought.Then she bit her lips. He may not care in the way that she wanted him to care but at least, he had helped her in the past. That she was not starving and had a good roof over her head was all his doing. Then what was wrong of she helped him out of this little trouble?She waited till it was late but did not see them. She knew that Phoebe must be inside with the guy but they seem
Nancy stayed home to rest. But before going in, as soon as Felix stopped the car in front of the house, she went to speak to Mrs. Potts. She told her everything and she sympathized with her. 'Sorry dearie, I caused this. I asked you to go hunting for evidence against Phoebe when you should have been resting at home. Please forgive me'. 'There is nothing to forgive but I have decided that I won't give up until I find something incriminating against her because I feel in my guts that there really is such a thing'. 'Of course, she can not come and reap where she has not shown. It is not her right. So if there is any evidence against her, then we have to get it', Mrs Potts said. 'What evidence?' asked a voice from the door way. They looked up to see Phoebe standing there. They were shocked. They had not expected to see her at that time. What was she doing here? 'Eh, it's nothing you should concern yourself about', Nancy quickly said. 'Of course, I couldn't care less what the servan
Phoebe was seething as she awaited the meal. She was not really hungry but she had felt that those women downstairs did not like her and had wanted them to know who the boss was. But that Nancy girl was just too head strong. What leverage must Jason had given her to make her so insolent. Or is Jason responsible for her pregnancy? it was a lucky thing for her that she presented her own pregnancy first. Was she the person Jason had wanted to marry? No. Jason could not stop that low. Phoebe laughed. How could she even think that Jason would marry someone that was little more than a servant in his house when he had all those classy and sophisticated women at his beck and call? Phoebe discarded that thought and go used on how she had manipulated the test results. The technician at the hospital, the lab technician was one of her admirers. When she heard the name Dr. Manuel, she knew that she had heard the name before and the hospital as well. She took that first day to investigate an
Jason felt bereft at the office. He was used to having Nancy there with him and did not know why it felt so empty without her there though he had many other employees. He wondered how it would be if she hit married to someone and moved away or decided she no longer wanted to work for him. His driver was back and he knew that Nancy must be home. Rebecca had asked him out on a date but he did not even care for appearances this time as he refused bluntly. She was beginning to get it into her head that Jason wanted nothing to do with her but she was not ready to give up just yet. Jason asked Felix his driver to drive him home. As soon as he got home, he did not go into the main house but went straight to Nancy's quarters. He knocked and since the door was half open, he walked in. She was not in the living room, so he walked to the bedroom which was open and saw her sleeping in the bed. She looked so much like an angel as she slept. So innocent and yet so very sexy. Her simple attir
'Don't you dare say it. I shall kill you if you do!' Nancy threatened. Pulling her dress back to cover her exposed breasts and kicking the other part down to cover her thighs.Breasts with nipples that were now red and taut from his sucking and stroking and those thighs that had made his hands develop a mind of their own, he had wanted to lose himself in her, Jason thought getting stirred again and his hands rubbed his head as he licked his lips. He could still taste her on his lips. He tried to get himself under control. He looked heaven wards as though beginning for strength and inspiration.He could see that she was angry and in her disheveled state, she looked so sexy that he had to bite his tongue to prevent him from going back into the bed with her.'What are you talking about?' he asked, his hands in his pickets, trying to hide the bulge between his legs.'If you dare tell me you are sorry, I swear I shall murder you!' she clarified.'Sorry? I was not going to say that. I am no
