Lucas' Pov: (Jackson's dad)
Everything is set. It's a good thing Jackson was able to take care of it. He's made me proud indeed.
Now, its time to take what that bitch took from me.
I smirked as I brought out my phone and dialed her line.

Matilda's Pov:
Oh my God! Where could Bethel be?
I panicked as I hurriedly packed my things from the table and stuffed them into my bag. I wasn't thinking straight anymore. How can Bethel be kidnapped? For what reason?
I grabbed my bag and scuttled out of the office and almost fell on my way out.
"Cancel all my appointments for the rest of the day" I told my secretary as I got out of the office.
"Yes, ma'am" she replied and I hurried off.
On my way to the elevator, my phone started ringing.
I got into the elevator b
Jackson's Pov:"She's my daughter" his words resounded in my head.I scoffed and looked at him. No; I probably didn't hear him correctly.Of course.I looked at Bethel and she was holding her tummy, her eyes filled with the expected shock.Then, I took my eyes back to dad."What're you talking about?" I asked, my voice coming out faintly.He looked at the floor and clapped his hands and immediately, two boys came into the room."Take her back to her room" he told them and they went for Bethel on the bed."No!" She muttered as she stood on her feet with the boys holding her by both hands."What're you talking about?" She asked weakly, looking at dad.Dad signalled at the boys and they took her out of the room. Then, I was left with just him.&n
Bethel's Pov:I couldn't tell why the boys tied me up after bringing me back to the room. I thought the so called boss said he didn't want me to get hurt?I was so restless and scared - and confused. What did Jackson father mean by saying I was his daughter? Was that a lie or what?Of course, it was a lie! There was no way that could be true. He can't possibly be my father. I mean, I wouldn't be here in the first place - tied up like a slave.I breathed out deeply. What could his reasons be for bringing me here? Whatever they are, they're definitely not good. How do I get out of here?Oh God! My baby.Thank goodness there was no bleeding yet. At least, it meant the baby was still safe. I just hope I get out of this alive. I hope Ryan gets to meet complete with his baby. I hope nothing goes wrong.Suddenly, the door opened and two boys came in, on
Nicole's Pov:I stood beside Bethel's bed in the hospital as the doctor checked her with his stethoscope.She was still sleeping but according to the doctor, she'll be fine.Ryan was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her hand. while his mum and Bethel's mum were also standing - hopefully."Double the dosage" the doctor said to the nurse on the other side of the bed and she nodded and did something to the drip."Doctor, how's she?" Ryan's mum asked immediately and the doctor sighed and brought down the stethoscope from his ear."Like I earlier said, she's fine. You don't have a thing to worry about. And the baby's fine as well" he replied and I took in a deep breath, the same time with Ryan."So...she was really pregnant?" Bethel's Mum asked and the doctor just nodded to that."She'll be awake soon and will be very hungry. So, I'd
Ryan's Pov:I furrowed my brows as I looked at him. What's he talking about? What's wrong with the baby?I was scared to ask but just needed him to spill it out right away.He looked at the paper again before handing it to me.I collected it hesitantly and looked into it. What's this?"Actually sir" he continued."it's not just a baby...but babies".My eyes beamed immediately as my lips dropped open.What??I flinched as I looked into the paper again. Then, I understood what the diagram meant. It was a scan revealing two curled up babies.Oh my God!"Although, we can't tell their genders for now because the pregnancy is still in the early stage of it's first trimester. But the most important thing is, she's carrying a set of twins" he added.I smiled as a happy tear almost escape
Bethel's Pov:I looked in amazement as they walked in. I hadn't seen her since we graduated from High School.And oh! There was someone else with her - a young charming boy."What're you doing here?" Ryan asked her immediately he turned and saw her."Please, I'm not here for trouble. I...I just came to see Bethel - to say hi to her". She replied instantly, raising her both hands in the air.They walked in fully into the room, her son beside her."Come on Matilda, let's talk outside"Ryan's mum said to my mum and they left the room together."Um...hi Bethel" Shirley cleared her throat and said."Hi aunt Bethel" her son said in a sweet tone."Mummy told me about you".Huh? She did?'Hi" I tried to smile back at him."How're you feeling now?" He asked and I was amused at the smartness in hi
Bethel's Pov:"How long does it have to take, Ryan?" I asked impatiently as he kept driving for what seemed like forever to me."Chill, Bethel. Come on" he grouse and I rolled my eyes.Well, I couldn't wait to see the surprise.I sighed and brought out my phone, going through the net.Hm."This stuff is really trending online, Ryan: Gentle Aura caught hugging a strange lady in front of an hotel" I read out the headline to him.I couldn't believe Nicole's picture was all over the net."When will you be going to see your dad?" He suddenly asked and my countenance changed."I don't know" I muttered."I don't think I even wanna see him"."Bethel...""I'm just scared, Ryan" I cut him off, calmly tho."That man tried to kill me! He'd have consciously cut off
Bethel's Pov:My sound sleep was disrupted by the sound of my phone ringing, not even my alarm. What the heck?I ignored it and let it ring to an end, but it began ringing again and I groaned out of sleep and reached for the phone which was on the head of the bed.I opened my bleary eyes to check out the caller and noticed it was Nicole. Huh? Why the hell's she calling me this early? Or is she tryna tell me.me to get ready for . school?I sat up tiredly on the bed and picked the call."Bethel!" She screamed immediately and I flinched.What the heck is wrong with her?"Oh, my gee! Don't tell me you're still asleep. Are you for real?" She beamed and I buried my fingers into my hair.I still. Couldn't get her point."What're you...""You're missing out, Bethel. Oh my gee! Ryan's back! My greatest superstar is back! Turn on the TV, Bethel. Hurry up. They're showin
Bethel's Pov:I got to the dining where breakfast had already been served for me and I sat and ate. It was bagel and cream cheese.It was so boring eating alone but I was already getting used to it, since mum had the habit of not staying at home.Sometimes, I wish my life was a little different from this.After consuming half of the meal, I stood up and left; walking out to the parking lot where my driver was already waiting for me."Good morning, ma'am Bethel" he greeted as I approached the black van."Good morning Josh" I replied cursorily and walked in, taking the back seat.He got into the driver's seat and took off.I brought out my phone to while away time before getting to school.The driver turned on the car's fm and the channel that was tuned was talking about Ryan.Perfect.I tucked my hair behind my ear and tried listening to what th
