He looked around to confirm. The waitress saw his prying eyes. She scoffed, “You didn’t trust my words. Continue to search. She isn’t here. Will get your order across now”.Michael raised his hand, “No, no need for it. I will come back later”. The waitress sighed , “Okay bye”. Micheal stood up and moved to the exit. He walked past Helen and Grace.The two were still running their eyes everywhere to get a hold of my appearance. Michael walked out and sat in his car. Denzel’s call came through, Michael stared at his phone for a few minutes.He doesn’t know what to say to his dad. He hit his car steering continuously. Finally, he summoned the courage to answer it. “Hello Dad”. Denzel's voice was sharp, “Michael, is she sitting in the car with you now?”.Michael exhaled, “No Dad, was told she isn’t at work today”. All hope Denzel had fallen apart at that announcement. He hissed, “Michelle must not hear this. This is bad news”.Michael shakes his head, “This is getting intense, I didn’t si
“Just one week ultimatum”Michael said and drove away. Helen heaved a sigh of relief. Grace got to Helen before Michael’s car could leave the parking lots.If he had waited forty seconds more. He would have seen Grace with Helen. It would have been Helen’s worst nightmare.Grace could see when she was approaching that Helen was standing close to a car and the car drove off. “Mommy, who is that?. And what just happened here?”Grace questioned.Helen fixed her gaze on Michael’s car ensuring he had left. “Which question do you want me to answer first?”She asked. Grace rolled her eyes, “anyone you find comfortable”.Helen exhaled, “Let’s go back to the restaurant to sit and discuss. I don’t want to lose any chances of seeing Wendy”. Michael and Helen kept trying to reach me. The drugs Val gave me have begun to work. I placed my phone on silent to enable me to get enough rest.Helen and Grace walked back to the restaurant silently. They sat close to the window. Helen starts looking around,
I am not a social media freak. I didn’t check my messages there. I don’t even get notifications. I made use of it consistently then because I was trying to reach Val. We had diner and went to bed.In Denzel’s house. He still had nothing to tell Michelle. His phone keeps ringing for a long time. He had no choice at the tenth time the phone rang but to pick it up.“Hello Michelle. Have been busy with meetings since”,Denzel lied. Michelle had been married to Denzel since her youthful age and she could detect his lies easily. She pretended to believe him. “Sorry my hardworking husband. Means you didn’t hear or know anything about Michael and her surrogate”.Denzel stated, “Will know how far Michael has gone with it by tomorrow”. Michelle acknowledged, “Ok, that sounds hopeful. Would have love to connect Michael to the call but it’s late. So, bye”. Hurriedly, Denzel replied and ended the call, “Ok”.He ended the call quickly to avoid Michelle insisting on calling Michael that same night. “
Michael didn’t answer his phone, he came out of his car. He yelled, “Who the hell owns this car”. The car owner had gone inside the restaurant to order food.Brown had driven us off to the hospital. It was the hospital he and his family use. We walked into the doctor’s office directly. Brown had called him before we got there.“Good evening doctor”Brown shakes the doctor. “How are you Brown?, get a seat,”The doctor said. I sat also, “Good evening” I greeted.“Good evening Miss”,The doctor shook my hand. “She has been running hot and has been vomiting”,Brown told the doctor. He brought out his stethoscope and placed it on my chest and on his ears. “Not bad,”he said. “Brown,I would have to run a test on her”.Brown agreed, “No problem, just want her to be fine”. I followed the doctor to the lab to run some tests. A pin was used to get a drop of blood from me.Elsewhere, Michael was in rage. Cursing out loud to the owner of the car in front of him. Michelle ended the car when she couldn
Denzel shivers,“His at the?, wait, you said you are at the airport right. Will come pick you up”. Michelle rolled her eyes, “Will be waiting”.Denzel knocked on his chauffeur’s door. “Wake up, come and drive me to the airport and hospital”. The chauffeur woke up, rubbed his face and collected the key from Denzel.Quickly, Denzel hopped in the car. “Take me to the hospital from there you drive to Jameson hospital”He ordered his chauffeur. Denzel was frustrated, “I don’t even know what else to do?. Oh my!”.Denzel nagged all the way to the airport. “Michelle will be angry at me. She will call me incapable. How did I let this happen. Helen will pay me all, I don’t even need the grandchild anymore”.Michelle was sitting at the waiting chair. She had been standing for too long. “Speed it up a bit. Step on the gas. Michelle doesn’t like to be kept waiting”Denzel commands his chauffeur.Denzel got down before the car will finally stop. He ran into the waiting room looking for Michelle. He wa
Val was in disbelief, she looked at Brown. She saw that Brown's expression didn’t change. “Brown, you know about this?”. Brown nods his head slowly.The confirmation didn’t sit well with Val. “Brown, how did you know?. The hospital?”Val asked. Brown managed to speak up, “Yes”. I cut Wendy’s speech off, “Val, Brown, allow me to continue please”.“Ok”they chorused. I begin, “You both have shown me the love I haven’t felt since the demise of my father”. My eyes were heavy about to release the tears it held. If I should allow my emotions to get in the way. I might not finish what I am about to tell them.Hurriedly, I wiped my tears and continued. “The period of time my family was in a financial crisis, I was used as the sacrificial lamb”. “Sacrificial lamb,”They repeated.It sounds strange to them. I scoffed and continued, “My stepmother heard about a billionaire who was willing to have a surrogate mother. And was willing to pay the surrogate mother off”. Brown and Val sighed, “ok”.I ex
I didn't watch the full video. I only watched for a minute. I did not know Michael received another blow from his Opponent and was taken away by the police. I waited for his reply. I didn’t get up till I slept off.The doctor came out of the theater. He walked to Michael’s emergency room to see him. Denzel jumped up, “Am his father”. The doctor turned back, “Mr Carter!, I was surprised to see Michael in that state. Good evening sir”.Luckily for Denzel, Michelle had only taken a stroll away to answer her girl’s call. She would have stared at him badly with what the doctor just said. “Just attend to him please. We will talk about this later”. The doctor nodded and went inside.Denzel wanted to rush after him, so the doctor stopped him. Michelle came back when the doctor was stepping out of Michael’s emergency room. She increased her steps and caught up with him. “Doctor, I am Michelle Carter. His mother. How is my son doing?”.The doctor had a big smile on, “I know you Mrs Carter. You
The drugs I took worked well, I slept peacefully at night till the following morning. I checked my phone with no calls or messages from Michael. “His arrogant nature has taken over him again”. I hissed and got up to prepare for work.As usual Val was up and ready going. She heard movement in the room and she came peeping. “Wow, Wendy, you are up. How healthy do you feel today?”. I raised my hands up, “Am okay. Better than two days ago. Thank you”. I hugged her.“I see you look better”Val praised me. “Yeah, I should get ready soon. I don’t want Brown getting ready before me”I ran to the bathroom. “Take it easy, don't over do anything”Val shouts from the kitchen. I know the reason she is screaming was because of the embryo. “Val, I will,”I laughed back.I was quick with my dressing up. “Hello Val, where is Wendy?. And how is she feeling now?”. Brown was dressed up and was asking after me. I could hear his voice from the room. I rushed to the sitting room. “Morning Brown, hope you slept
The labor pains were too much and unbearable. My water broke, Michael started and didn't know what to do for a few seconds. “Sir, let’s take her to the hospital”, Olivia said. He carried me breathing hard. “Sir, let me help you, is she not heavy?”The chauffeur said. “No, she is carrying my child. She is not heavy and I love her,”He said with a straight face.He carried me to the car himself. He laid me at the back seat, he placed my head on his lap. Olivia sat beside the chauffeur. I was groaning in pain as we headed to the hospital. I was feeling cold and hot at the same time. It got to a stage where I feel like death was waving at me.I held on to Michael's clothes screaming and crying. “I am done for”. “I want to urinate”. “The pain is unbearable”. I was talking and crying. Michael kept telling me sorry uncountable times till we got to the hospital. I was rushed in for an emergency.I tried birthing the child myself but I couldn’t. Michael called his parents to tell them I was in
The attitude pissed off Michael. He was so embarrassed he had to leave the scene. He has never been disgraced in front of his workers like that ever.Roxana stormed after him to his office. Michael was able to walk faster than her to his office. “Don’t let her into my office”He told Laila. Immediately, Laila stood guard in front of her boss's office. She could hear Roxana’s voice shouting as she approached the office. “Where is the loser?. I will give you a few days. Have your count down you will be off here”She boasted.As she made her way to his office Laila stopped her. “I am sure, you don’t want to get into a fight with me,”she frowned. “Mrs Carter, you can not enter there”Laila said. She pulled Laila off the road. Laila staggered to regain her balance she ran after her and pulled her back.She slapped Laila’s face. “How dare you touch my expensive body with your filthy hands?”She yelled. Laila held her cheeks as it stings. Michael heard Roxana slap Laila. He came out of his offic
“If that will please you. I will do it,”Michael replied. He wasn’t willing to argue with Roxana. He knows she has always been jealous of me. Roxana smiled, “Good”. “You know I love you so much. And I will do anything for you”Michael said. “I love you too. Let’s get to sleep. We have to be early for the family breakfast tomorrow”,Roxana said. They went to bed.Michael was thinking of how to go about the request Roxana is asking him. A part of him loves me. He doesn’t want me to go far away from the house because of his child. He didn’t sleep early that night. “My grandfather’s house. Is it the safest and comfortable for her to stay with my child,”He said to himself.He thought all through the night about how to go about the request. He could hardly sleep. His thought was going wild. He finally got to sleep.They came over for breakfast on Sunday morning as usual. Before breakfast started, Michael announced on the table. “Hello everyone, Roxana said she doesn’t want Wendy staying in the
Roxana knew it was Grace Jenkins the cleaner was referring to. For Laila not to talk. She was taking side with her boss. She doesn’t want to lose her job. I kept mute for a while.Obviously, Michael is cheating on her with Grace. She got the facts she needed. She doesn’t need to prolong issues or look further. Her final finds will be with Michael’s phone. “It’s fine you all can leave thank you”,Roxana dismisses the gathering.There was nothing to think about again further. She knows nothing about Michael's job. She was only there as it’s the tradition of the Carter to always make their wives the managing director. She is only good in her make-up field.She rested her back and called Ann as it was the plan between both of them to get rid of all the side ladies when she resumes power and to divorce after a few months.Ann picked up her phone as soon as she saw it was Roxana that was calling her. “Hello Mrs Roxana Carter”Ann teased her friend. “Ann, stop being naughty,”Roxana laughed. It
Michael sighed, “Ok sir. Thank you sir”. “Good son, you can take your leave now,”Lawrence said. Michael hugged his father and took his leave. He joined Rosie in the sitting room. “What happened?. Any problem?”She inquired. “No, he was only lecturing me on how to take great care of you”Michael lied.Roxana laughed and they left. They hopped into the waiting car and left for Lawrence court expansion. “Welcome to your humble abode my beautiful Rosie”Michael announced. Roxana looked around like it was her first time in the house.“Of course It’s mine”,she said proudly. Michael laughed ignorantly at Roxana's words. The manager of soulmate beach reached out to Michael to enable them to publicize the wedding to the public. The wedding videos and pictures had not been heard and kept away from the public.Michael authorized it to be blown out to the public. The very night the videos and pictures were released to the public. It gained ten million views in six hours before the day breaks. The so
Rosie looked at Michael and liked what a liar he is. She kept quiet and didn’t say anything. “Mrs Carter, I am okay now. Hope you are good?”. Before Michelle could reply it was time for breakfast to start.No one talked about it anymore. They started breakfast as usual. We all ate. After breakfast I know I have no business with them as the gathering specifically was for the marriage discussion.They all move to the garden to have a better discussion about the wedding. “My outfit will be ready next month with my husband and father inlaw”Michelle said proudly. “Ours would be ready next month also. Our guest list is prepared,”Mrs Briggs said smiling.Mr Briggs and Denzel left the women to have other discussions somewhere else. Roxana and Michael moved away from their parents also to have their discussions. “Rosie, I am really sorry. Next two months. I can’t wait for you to be Mrs Carter”,Michael pleaded.“Ok. I have heard. I really can’t wait also,”Roxana said. She smiled and pecked him.
Obviously, Grace was ashamed of herself to tell Charles what she had done all in the name of pleasing Michael. “Means I can’t quit my job?”she asked. “You can’t. Except you want to face jail terms or wait till after the two compulsory years”Charles told her.She was caught in the middle of a hard task and doesn’t know what to do. She was disappointed in herself and doesn’t know how to face Michael and Laila at work.Michael had begun to process how to recover my company back to me and take it away from my step mother and step sister. He heard Helen swear to sue and also Grace saying the same thing. He doesn’t want them to win over me.Before we went to beg that night he called the lawyer over to Lawrence court. I was asked to narrate everything and I told the lawyer about how the company was originally for my mother and I.“Get a letter sent to Grace Jenkins tomorrow telling her to stop work on the company and never set foot there else she would be sued”Michael instructed the lawyer.
Everyone went silent. Michael didn’t care about how the look Grace gave him. He was only after getting justice for me and to stop Helen threatening me. The lawyers from both sides argue for some minutes. The evidence of Helen pushing me away was shown to the Judge and my medical report after I was taken to the hospital.The judge ruled out a month imprisonment for Helen. The judgement broke her heart. She has never been to a police precinct before talking more of staying there over the night and being charged to court and being imprisoned.She was bittered by the sentence. She screamed in the court, “Wendy used her influence to jail me”. Grace couldn’t hold herself together. She burst into tears. Tears ran down her cheeks uncontrollably. She hit deeper into her lower lips. What a terrible day for her.Definitely, one of the worst days of their lives. Helen cried as the cops escorted her to the waiting vehicle to take her to the prison. Grace races to meet up with her mother. She held
“This could be a misinterpretation. I didn’t do anything. She was the one who came to attack me here”Helen yells as she enters the police van. Her workers looked on. When she got to the police precinct Michael was there. Helen was shocked when she saw him. Her hope was for Michael to support him and be against me but the case was in another view. I was the one winning over her.“Michael, really, this is really happening?”She threatened. Michael tabled all she did and some of the cops came to the hospital to see me. They even speak with the nurse who directs them to doctor Mason.He shed more light on it which implicates Helen more. With no further ado. She was detained and soon he charged. Michael used his power to ensure she is granted bail. No one called Grace at the office to tell her anything had happened to her mother.She works at her department to continue the creation of another robot. She didn’t go to Michael’s office at all and didn’t wait for him by the close of the hour.
