2024-10-29 19:42:56I tell you, being on Mr. Blue's good side is the best place anyone wants to be, I was enjoying favors that was unusual. I could happily arrive late at work without being yelled out; for the first time, my job was not on the line, it was good to know; and you know me, late coming is my second name.
I arrived late at work, again, strolling in like I owned the place.
"Hey uhm, you have a visitor" Melissa told me when I got to the floor my office was on.

It turned out that Aliyah travelled and she only just got back, I felt really bad for not having a close relationship with Aliyah as much as I'd like. She is the coolest person I know. She honestly had a good heart, the best heart. We promised we'd keep in touch more, and I was more than ready to keep the promise. I didn't have female friend while growing up, because I intimidated everyone; I'm not even trying to be cocky, that was what I heard a few girls in my class say when I was in high school. It felt nice to finally have one, and a beautiful one at that. We slept really late, because we had a lot of things to talk about. I told her everything that happened with Noah, Antonio and even Mr. Blue.

It surprised me how I was able to get to work on time, with my encounter with Antonio. It felt like the man just knew what buttons to push, and when to push them to get me annoyed; he was a pro at it.When I stepped into the building, there were a lot of eyes on me; it wasn't the first time I was stepping into the office and having everyone look at me, but something was different; everyone had disgusted looks on heir faces and they were whispering to each other. Office gossip had never been my issue, in fact, there was nothing worth gossiping about, so I had never bothered myself with office gossip.

Kissing Noah wasn’t something I thought about at any point in time, and with the way he was smiling after I broke the kiss, something tells me he planned it. It made me lose my appetite to have lunch, because the kiss had brought a strain to our friendship already, and I’m sure he knew that too.“If

I woke up with a heavy arm draped over my body, it was hot and uncomfortable. Thinking I was on my bed, I tried to shift but ended up on the floor, only then it occurred to me that we spent the night on the couch. I sat on the floor, looking at a messy haired Antonio sleeping soundly, with his lips slightly parted. He looked harmless, like he couldn't even hurt a fly if it was given to him; but it was a lie, the man destroyed my insides last night, so much that falling on the floor hurt more than it should've. I was in pain and he was sleeping soundly, what's the witchcraft? I smiled mischievously as a plan formed in my head. I ran to the kitchen, got a glass of water and ran back to the living room.I poured a bit of the water to my free hand and put it over his face, so the water dropped slowly to his face. He was unfazed. I got annoyed and poured the whole thing on the man. He got up immediately, looking around until his eyes settled on me with the glass cup in my hand. He's fac

After the men left, I decided to go shopping for groceries because I was out of everything in my house. It was six pm when I stepped out of the building. I felt it again, the feeling of someone watching me. I shook my head, trying to keep a clear mind. I was overthinking and it was probably nothing. While in the grocery store, I couldn't help but feel like something was off, I looked around me, but everyone went on with their business. I knew I wasn't overthinking at that point, something was definitely wrong, someone was watching me.I pulled out my phone and called Aliyah, she was the only one I could think of to help me, because I knew Noah and Antonio were annoyed."Hey girl!" Aliyah hailed."Hey, uhm there's a situation and I need help, can you come get me? I think someone is following me" I rushed."Oh my love, I'm sorry, Harry took me out of town. You could call Anto" she suggested. Shit!"Okay, enjoy. Say hi to Harry for me" I told her. I held my shopping bags tightly in my ar

Although Antonio's new behavior was uncalled for, I somehow understood where he was coming from and I didn't want it to be a problem between us, I mean he was the one who kept saying we could be cool. I grabbed my phone and dialed his number."Hey" I said into my phone."You're up" was his respond. Really, you're up?"And you're not here" I retorted. I wanted to know why he left without letting me know, I mean he left my house open, what if the person who had been following me around entered into my house to kill me or do whatever he wanted to do."Yeah well, I was just sticking to the contract. No strings attached right? Be safe though, I have work to do" Antonio rushed and hung up. Okay, Antonio was taking his anger a little too far, but he was right, sticking to the contract would be better for us; I mean I was the advocate for sticking to the contract and there I was, looking for attention.I dragged my lazy ass to the bathroom, had a long ass bath and went to the kitchen to cook J

I wasn't so scared anymore about the whole stalking thing , in fact I felt like the whole thing was just in my head, and no one was filling me for anything. I mean what would they want from me? Why would anyone stalk me?With that energy, I got ready for work, not caring about the stalker, Antonio or even Noah. I got dressed in a blue jeans and a multicolored wrap top; I paired my outfit with a pair of black stilettos. I looked in the mirror and smiled, I looked too damn good, but I was about to be late.I g

After work, I went straight home because even though I was trying so hard to keep my mind off a possible stalker, I still had to be cautious. I didn't try to socialize with anyone for anything. I felt like calling Noah, but I knew he was not down from his high yet, and he seriously needed to apologize to me, I mean he's the one who leaned in for a kiss, and I just followed through, not to even talk about how awkward he'd feel if I had rejected him there and then; at that point, that's all I needed. I know I sound selfish for thinking that way, but it is what it is. I did miss Noah though.I cooked a little yam porridge for dinner and had a warm bath, it was refreshing, just what I needed after the long day at work. Thankfully, I didn't see much of Mr. Blue for the whole day, after his encounter with Antonio. Who knew Antonio knew a lot of people and he was that influential? Who exactly is Antonio Rivera? While doing a little work I brought home with me, my phone started to ring, it w

Sewa's POV Six months later I woke up late again, despite all my alarms. I had just woken up, but yet I felt like I hadn't slept for hours; I guess my baby girl likes to sleep. "Well, you have to stop making me sleep so much madam, it's making me look bad," I rubbed my huge stomach. I got up from the big bed, the new room was empty, I guess Antonio had gone to work already. I sighed. Antonio was the reason I wanted to wake up early to at least make him breakfast or takeout for lunch as I had been too lazy to do anything, just waking up, demanding for food, then sleeping. Antonio never complained, not even after a very stressful day at work. He would always come back from work and attend to me like I was the tired one, well I guess I was;

ANTONIO'S POV I watched as Sewa laid unconscious on the hospital bed, looking very peaceful but at the same time very fierce; she had a few cuts on her face, but she still looked very beautiful. Tears came to my eyes as I watched her; all this was my fault. Everything had been my fault from the beginning, if I had just listened to her when she warned me about Samantha, we wouldn't have been here. I let my eyes run over the length of her body, stopping at her stomach. I placed my hand over her stomach, letting the tears flow freely from my eyes. I had been too busy crying my eyes out while letting Sewa go through a worse pain. I had no idea pain could make a person deaf and blind. I had been sitting there, but I couldn't make out what was happening, I couldn't move; not until I heard Diego crying and tugging at at my shirt that I came back to earth and saw what Samantha was doing to her. I was so angry that pushed her away using my fist.

"Samantha?" Antonio called dangerously. I almost feared for what Antonio would do to her. Almost."I didn't do anything to him, I swear Antonio, you have to believe me. I wanted to tell you that he was getting bullied at school, but I didn't know how to say it," Samantha cried. I got up, walked to her and slapped her across her stupid face."You don't have a conscience, do you?" I asked her. She was quiet."Say the truth or I will, and if I do, i will deliver each word with a slap until I'm done saying all the horrible things you've done!" I threatened. That seemed to get Samantha's attention. I guess she didn't like my slaps across her face."I'm a horrible person Antonio," Samantha cried, looking down at her finger nails. Why was she trying to talk like she didn't enjoy doing what she did?I tur

"Samantha, what the hell is that noise?" Antonio's thunderous voice came in. The sound came from the top of the stairs."Why don't you come check out for yourself," Aaliyah yelled back. There was a pause, and then footsteps. While my eyes were fixed on the stairs, I didn't know Samantha had gotten up. I felt pressure pull my beanie from my head, then pull at my braids. I lost my balance and fell to the floor, but I wasn't going to give Samantha the satisfaction of beating me up. While her hands were still fixed on my hair, I grabbed her hand and turned around so I was facing her, I let one hand free from her hand that I grabbed and I sent a punch to her chest. Samantha fell backwards and I didn't falter. I ran to her, sat on her stomach and started my assault. Delivering punches across her face as imagined her putting her hands on Diego. She must've felt great, beating the boy to a fucking pulp, she must've loved it anytime he begged her to stop. I got angrier and my punches

I got dressed in a pair of black leggings and a black crop top, coupled with a black jacket. I braided my hair in four cornrows that night before, so I put a beanie over it, grabbed my phone and stepped out of my apartment."Took you long enough," Aaliyah smiled at me, leaning on her black Mercedes Benz. She was dressed almost the same as I was; she had black leggings, a jumper and a big black shirt which I suspected belonged to Harry, over her shoulders."We look like we're going to the gym," Aaliyah tried to crack a joke. I smiled at her for the effort but I couldn't bring myself to laugh to show any other expression apart from the smirk across my lips."Let's go," I nodded at her and we got in, driving straight to Antonio's house. Thank heavens it was a Saturday and there was nowhere Antonio would be if not his love

Aaliyah and I had a plan, where Aaliyah would go to the house and use seeing Antonio as cover but what she's actually doing is looking after Samantha and Diego to see if Samantha was doing something horrible to the boy. It wasn't much of a great plan given that Samantha pretends a lot but i knew it would work because Aaliyah and Samantha never agreed on the same thing, and it would be hard for Samantha to pretend to Aaliyah; Aaliyah see's right through her bullshit."Hell yeah! Let's do it! And I hope I catch her doing something so this time she goes to prison and rot forever," Aaliyah had said with so much determination."I gave Diego your phone number and mine, so if he calls you, it means there's something horrible going on," I told her. Aaliyah nodded, she was ecstatic that I was giving such an important task as she called it.I leaned into my office seat, letting out a worried sigh. It was almost 5pm, but I didn't have the heart

Time passed by last night, and though I was awake through most of it, I was able to get in some sleep for a few hours, I didn't mind though since I didn't have to turn in for work as Dan and Melissa had everything covered.I strolled lazily around the house, picking noting what had to be cleaned and what not. I had been in the house for two days and three nights and I had been too weak to clean, but seeing as I didn't have anything to do with myself, I decided to clean.I was pleased with the results. The apartment smelled like me, and for some reason it felt like I didn't spend any time away from the apartment, like I had been in it all the while when I knew I was staying at Antonio's house. I guess my apartment had always been home to me in a way my father was home for me.I took a warm bath to calm my nerves and muscles, while rubbing

I sat in my car, tired from all the shouting, yelling, puking and emotions that I had to let out, and I needed something to keep me calm, so I called the only man who ever cared about me. The only man who gave an actual fuck about me; my father."Hello, my angel," my fathers thick Nigerian accent hit me like a wave of fresh air. I smiled immediately at his voice and the name he called me."Hey daddy," I leaned further into my car sit in the park. I didn't quite have it in me to go back to being alone in that house just yet. I didn't feel like crying yet."This one you called me today, did somebody die," my father joked, I laughed. It had been only a few seconds but the man made me feel better than I've felt in hours. Why didn't I call him since?"No daddy, no one died, at least not yet," I added, thinking to how I'd kill Antonio once I find out that Samantha is doing something shady to my son.

I wasn't satisfied, I wanted a reason, a reason why he could accept Diego and not the one growing in me. It was hard to concentrate on any work when I didn't know why he made the decisions he made. I pushed myself out of my chair, rushing to the restroom to puke, since nausea had become my best friend and I couldn't go one peaceful morning without it."Sewa, are you okay?" Melissa pushed the stall open, letting only her head in. Why did she follow me out?"I'm fine Melissa, get back to work," I was out of breath, but I managed the words just fine."No you're not. Dan has gone to tell Mr. Blue you're sick, so I think you can go home for the day," Melissa said. I nodded, waving my hands at her. I was going to take a leave anyway. Melissa closed the stall, leaving me alone to my nausea. When I was sure I was done emptying the contents of my stomach into the toilet, I cleaned myself a
