"If you are not ready to say anything to me, then leave my office" Allen declared. He was getting impatient to hear him out."Aretha is pregnant!!"Alex blurted out. He clenched his teeth and looked away. "Congratulations brother, you will soon be a father as well" Allen chimed." No congratulations yet Allen. She told me to marry her otherwise, she will abort the pregnancy. She is threatening me with my unborn Child" Alex declared.Allen squinted. How can she tell Alex she was pregnant that day and immediately put her condition forward? Did she trapped him with the pregnancy?"How old is the pregnancy?" Allen asked. The look on Alex's face doesn't look friendly."It's six weeks," Alex replied. He would hit his fist on the desk and hissed again. Allen was quiet for a long time.Maybe Alex wouldn't have to be like him to have two adorable boys and still remain single. Maybe he should Marry her if he wants the baby."Are you going to fulfill her request?"Allen asked. But Alex snapped his
Nicole was the first to look away. She became shy. Looking at him with his charming eyes could make a woman want to melt into his arms.Allen looked away and concentrated on the design on the computer. He scrolled down and saw more beautiful designs on the screen.Nicole was feeling uneasy. She was feeling slight stomach cramps. She was expecting her period that day and carried a pad in her bag.She asked that Allen excuse her. She took her bag and the latter asked her where she was going. She Said to the restroom."With your bag?" Allen asked. Nicole smiled and said yes. She stood up and passed Allen to the bathroom.But alas something had happened. She had been stained slightly. A drop of blood was on her skirt and Allen saw it. He squinted and understood what was going on. He called her back.He held her by her waist and asked her why she didn't just pick the pad rather than going into the restroom with the whole bag?Nicole squinted. Who told him she might be in her psychological
They were quiet until they arrived at the Paradise hotel. It was indeed Paradise. It's architectural design was the best Nicole had seen both home and abroad.Its walls were covered with precious stones and the floor was glittering. Nicole hadn't stepped out of the car yet, but she was already carried away by the beauty of the environs."Wow, Allen, this hotel is the best!" She exclaimed. She turned and glanced at him. This is not a place where mean people were found.High officials and politicians are the ones who frequent the hotel. Men with class and people from the aristocrat family are the ones who can afford it."Glad you like it. I was thinking of building something like this for my sons before dad willed it to one of them. This is my favorite resort when I want to be alone" Allen replied, parking his car at a designated area.Theresa Mo smiled. She's happy. This beautiful place is now owned by her kid. She smiled and her eyes became moist.Allen glanced at her and chuckled. Sh
Allen told them that Nicole had told her how they both gave a hand of help to her in those trying times of her life.He thanked them saying they all have contributed in one way or the other to the existence of his kids. He doesn't know how to pay them for their kindness."President Lyon,you thank us too much. We have only fulfilled our responsibility to our friend" Lincoln said.My name is Allen Lyon, not President Lyon. Don't be formal whenever we are together. I don't usually have friends but I see us four as friends now,"Allen corrected."Thank you Allen Lyon" Lincoln said but Allen interrupted him again."My first name is fine,"he insisted. They four laughed. The entire evening was a memorable one."Nicole, is there anything you would want us to know?" Rose asked, passing her friend a quick glance.Nicole chuckled audibly. She took Allen's hands and said "you already know what I have to say.But since you want to hear it from the horse's mouth, I will say it all the same. Allen an
"Go with him tomorrow. He has something to say to you. Hear him out first"Allen persuaded. It is not wrong to listen when someone wants to talk to you.It is only not advisable that you take everything you hear to heart and act on it. Maybe he wants to apologise to her and ask her to take him back.Since she isn't going to agree to be the surrogate Mother for him and his wife, maybe he wants to persuade her to be or get pregnant for him instead.Allen persuaded Nicole to go for the dinner but must have someone trailing her. He can't take chances with someone so mean as drugging her when she was still his wife.Nicole agreed and said she would give him feedback on how things were unfolding. Allen said that's better.They stopped at a supermarket and got candies and ice cream for the kids before they continued their home going. Kids like sweet things and that gets them excited when their parents are returning home.Lincoln and Rose arrived home. They got in and Lincoln said Rose should
Allen chuckled. How nice it would have been to have an elder sister or a sister as a sibling. She's so meticulous and talks like a mother that she truly is.He stood up and went to stand before the mirror. He looked at the treated wound and saw that Nicole did it well.She came and stood beside him. She saw him looking at himself and subconsciously raised his hand and touched the wound."You may need to use a waterproof bandage when going to take your bath. Help the wound to disappear quickly and be free" Nicole instructed.Allen looked at her from the mirror and they both glanced at each other. "Thank you," he said sincerely.Nicole saw him being sincere and was moved. He had suddenly been quiet while she was taking care of the wound and only talked when she ask him a question.She smiled and turned to leave when Allen held her by the wrist. He pulled her to himself and stood looking into her eyes."I love you Nicole," Allen confessed. Before Nicole could reply, he bent slightly and
Allen completely ignored his question. What kind of person was Alex? He is egoistic with his woman and doesn't want to beg her to keep the pregnancy.He was not ready to marry her either. He is looking for someone who will come in between to persuade Rita not to abort the pregnancy.Does someone get egoistic with a woman he had slept with? He doesn't know what to think or say about this pride of his.If Theresa Mo hadn't taken the initiative to intervene, he would have left things the way they are.A man should be responsible for his actions. He is now responsible for his sons and Julia should be responsible to the mother of his unborn baby and the baby itself."Theresa may ask you to accompany her to a dinner with her ex-husband, go with her but maintain a distance. I may likely show up there but I didn't tell her that.." Junxie Li instructed.Julia said Ok. He would talk with Theresa Mo and ask her what she's going to do to help him talk to Rita. She mustn't abort that pregnancy.Wh
On the Presidential floor sat Timothy in a cute Italian suit. Alex knows him but Allen has not met him officially.He looked cute and attractive in his suit and he can pass for a second glance. When he saw President Lyon, walked out of the elevator and Nicole also, he stood up.His eyes were fixed on Theresa Mo who just walked in completely ignoring the presence of Allen who was walking in front of her.Allen looked at him and saw him staring at his woman. Though he hadn't met Timothy before, he knew at once that he was her ex husband.But his eyes were not filled with any grievance or hatred, it was filled with love and admiration. When he walked to where Timothy stood, he paused and called the secretary."Send an order from me to all the secretaries and the receptionist. If anyone comes to ask of any employees, he or she must wait at the reception and not be allowed to step their feet into other sections of the company"Allen ordered.Timothy knew the order was given because of him.
"I love you Rita like I had never loved anyone" Alex said and gently raised her head, capturing her lips.He started kissing her. It was a kissing of reunion. Alex was starving for her lips, he dragged her to the sofa and made her seat on his thighs.They both were graving for each other. It was as if they both were waiting to be charged by the other." Let's go upstairs" Alex finally suggested, holding his breath and raising Rita to come along.Actually, how they arrived at the bedroom, non of them can explain. The kisses were making them ask for something intimate.Rita hasn't done it in a long time. When she became Pregnant and told Alex, he never made love to her again.It's about clocking a year and she missed that stuff a lot. But Alex he was doing it out there with his girlfriends.Rita could feel his hardness poking her and she burned for desire. She wants him inside of her.She pulled off the strap of his robe and the latter was in his boxer alone. " I want you to make love t
Two days later, Alex returned from the office and was told Amaya had gone to stay the night over at Tim and Leon's place.He said ok. He arrived home late. He took his showers and changed into a night robe before coming downstairs to take a glass of milk.While taking it, he sat at the kitchen stool and was thinking about his life for the past couple of months.He can't believe he was still the same Alex as few months ago. He now lives his life without thinking about a woman. He hadn't had sex in those months and never imagine he could stay without a woman in a week.He was promiscuous and everyone around him knows it. But he feels ok and was glad that was the only good thing he got from the loss of that Pregnancy.He would ask Mia out the next day for lunch and start from there. He can't keep himself like an impotent man because Rita wouldn't take him back.If they move on well, he would propose to her. She's just like Rita in every sense of the word. On looks, height and her charism
Aunt May was now fine. The only challenge is that she can only Walk with the help of crutches.She was happy to see Nicole. She had always been in-door and has a doctor who comes around to check on her. She was improving fast.At the time of Lincoln's wedding, she had become conscious but couldn't get out of bed. She had blessed him and said she wish she could come along.But no worries, she would be cheering him on from afar. Lincoln felt happy and thanked her before going to be wedded.Lincoln's wedding was glamorous, better than Nicole and Allen's. They went to have their honeymoon outside the city and from there, went to see Lanre's foster parents.They returned few days ago and Nicole has come to see them. Lincoln wasn't in when she arrived.She was welcomed by Rose and Aunt May. The three women were happy and chatting together.Nicole's baby bump was already portruding and she looked a little chubbier than before.Aunt May said she looked forward to nursing her baby as it's gran
Timothy saw Nicole and Allen's wedding photos and couldn't believe his eyes. Was Allen the man Nicole claimed was the father of her kids and in love with?He saw the photos of the two boys and was left speechless. The appearance of the boys has spoken for itself that they are Allen's kids.But is Nicole their mother? Timothy shook his head. No wonder she refused to be remarried to him.She was with President Lyon. Thank goodness,he didn't think of doing anything silly to her after they left the court that day.Alex has now completely forgotten about Rita. But he knew he can't always remain like this. He needed to find someone he would fall in love with and stayed glued to her.As for Rita he has completely forgotten about her. He was moving on with his life and he wished her happiness.He loves her and till tomorrow, he would still love her. But love means letting that other person go. He wants her to be happy.But if her happiness doesn't lie with him, he would let her go. If she som
Jessica was lost. The question President Lyon asked her sent goosebumps through her entire body.She had indeed committed a grievous offence. Now that her sins were discovered, there is no hiding for her.She doesn't know what awaits her. Abigal's two kids are standing before her and the soul of Daniel would never let her have a peaceful end."Untap their mouths" Allen ordered and his bodyguards went ahead. The two women were a little bit free.Two magnificent seats were brought and Allen brought his wife to sit on one and beckoned Rose to sit on the other.He and Lincoln both sat behind their women and stared at the mother and daughter pair before them."Now back to my question, tell me besides wanting to have my father, why else did you separate me from my mother and finally murdered her.." Lincoln demanded.The fact that his mother died because of her quest to have her son back has never ceased to make him feel sobered.This was his first time meeting his step mother and he was goi
Nicole gave Allen her hand and he held her up from the bedside chair. As they were about to go, Allen asked that Lincoln and Rose should come along.They got into their car while the others got into theirs. As soon as he got in and shut the door,Allen started kissing Nicole. He hasn't had a good kiss since morning.He was holding, kissing and caressing her all at the same time. Thank goodness he remembered to draw the demarcation otherwise, the chauffeur might be caught between concentrating on the steering or staring at them from the rear mirror.Theresa knew that night was going to be hot. She and Allen were definitely going to deal with each other on the bed.As the car drove into a certain direction, Allen let Nicole go and looked out at the window.The chauffeur drove into an old factory and stopped. Allen stepped down and held Nicole's hand till she stepped out as well."What are we doing here?Nicole asked as Lincoln also stepped out. At this time, the two men were having their
Allen was dressed in a designer suit with a purple necktie. On his wrist was a golden wristwatch and on his feet was a shining designer buckle shoes whose appearance alone foretold how expensive it was.Tim and Leon were dressed in the same way as their father. They three look identical except that one looked older than the two fellas.Allen was waiting for Nicole at the bureau. He looked splendid and sophisticated. His thin pink lips matching with his well carved V- face and a charming temple makes him look like an idol.His hair was well taken care of and it glitters as if it was permed. The same goes for his boys and they look attractive.Collins and his wife Candice were present. His uncle Garry and his family were present as well.Alex came along with his daughter Amaya. Those were the immediate family that were present.Nicole was all set. Her wedding dress was beautiful. It's a square neck wedding dress with shiny stones arranged on its front part as designs.Her jewellers were
Nicole glanced at Allen, but he was having this 'i don't care attitude'. He seemed to be fully immersed on the phone in his hands.A quiet smile slightly tilted on his lips. The two people who want a daughter and granddaughter who look like either of them. They would be surprised that the girl was going to look like him. That's if it's a girl that has just been formed." Yes mum. I just confirmed that I am pregnant today and I know it's going to be a girl" Nicole was confident." Oh Nicole dear!" Candice cannot hide her surprise and happiness. She heldNicole's hands and smiled.Allen watched them from his split vision. The two women were happy and the younger woman was being treated like a celebrity.His mother was feeling really pleased that they were getting married that weekend. She said the timing was perfect that her granddaughter is planted in Nicole's womb at the right time.She told her not to stress herself nor do anything that would wear her out. The servants were enough to
Davis was speechless. She's blaming him now? How can she be angry with him that he hit him? Was she expecting him to pocket his hands and allow a man like himself to hit him?Is that how much she loves him? There seems not to be a green light for him in her sight. He was just wasting his time."But Rita, he was the one who hit me first? How am I to be blamed if I retaliate?" David asked."You provoked him. You called him a hooker. If someone calls you that, would you be happy?Or tell me, when did I discuss my ex-husband with you? Who told you he chases anything in skirts? Who fed you such horrible words about him?Now listen to me, from henceforth, don't come look for me. I don't want you anywhere around me and I already made it clear to you that we can only be friends.But you have crossed the Rubicon when you insult and raise your hand against Julia. So I am not interested in being your friend anymore.." Rita declared and turned around.Davis stood like someone watching a play and
