I stared at the door for a long time. There was nothing left for me to do or say. Who do I even want to speak to? Michael already left the room. I picked my bag and walked out also.

I took a cab home. I don’t even have time to think about whatever his doing. Am done with the ill treatment from my stepmother and Michael. “I should get myself a job to pay the remaining half of the money”I soliloquize.

I took a cab and journeyed home. My thought was how to get a job to fetch me some money. The truth I was hiding for myself was there is no job I can get within three days to cancel the debt. Michael and his father are still the best bet for it.

I got down in front of my house. And walked into the sitting room. My stepmother and her daughter were sitting at the diner eating. I wasn’t hungry. “Hello”,I waved at them and was about to walk away.

    My mood is better now. I rested my back on the bed. Gently, I stood from the bed and walked to the bathroom. I took my bath and walked out to the diner.I haven’t set my eyes on my stepmother and her daughter. “Hello morning”,I said and sat. There was bread on the table, cheesecake and jam. I took bread and spread some jam on the top.Helen and Grace watched me like I was an alien. I didn’t bother to know if they replied to my greetings or not. I was trying to pass the time till I will be going out to see Valerie.All of a sudden, my stepmother smiled at me. I wasn’t surprised I knew a quarter of the debt had been settled. “Wendy, you came out late after running to bed yesterday”,she said. Not even an apology for what she and her daughters said the previous day.“Yes”,I answered. I don’t want to waste my speech on them. My stepmother still had her fake smile on her face trying to tease me with her words.“Wendy, you will soon be a surrogate mother,”my stepmother teased me. She quite

    Michael moved his head to the side. He checked his phone if it was truly I that was talking. “Wendy Jerkins?”He called my name. I smiled, “Yes”. “Okay, I will call my dad and get back to you,”Michael replied and ended the call.I looked at my stepmother and shrugged my shoulders, “I just called him and said he will get back to me after speaking with his dad”. Helen’s lips formed into a smile. “You should stay here till he calls back. What would you like to eat or drink?”. Helen tries to be nice towards me.“I'm okay with what I ate,”I replied. I tried to stay strong, breaking in their presence means nothing to them. They are heartless and greedy. They are only after their own happiness.Michael phoned his secretary, Laila. “Hello Laila, tell anyone who wants to see me that I am busy. I will be busy for half an hour”. Laila replied, “Yes sir”.

    “Ok”,I replied like a one year old baby learning how to pronounce words. My legs stay stuck, no movement for them. My brain must have sent a message to all the part of my body to stay still. My stepmother urged me,“Wendy, his waiting, go meet up with him”.She was thinking like I was. Moreover, it’s not her life or future neither was it her child’s future that was put at pause. I soliloquize, “for mummy and daddy”. They were my greatest inspiration. I stood up with courage. I walked into my room.There was no time for me to fall on bed and weep. I took a quick shower. I changed my dress and picked two extra clothes for myself. I planned to spend the night at Valerie’s house after the process.I moved outside. My stepmother and her daughter were standing outside. Waiting for me to leave the house. I appeared, “why are you both here?”. I asked their prying eyes. My stepmother stepped closer to me,“We are standing here to show you the little support we could”.I think her words motivate m

    The car which the young boy emerges from earlier drives him after Michael’s car. The mighty gate hid behind a mighty house. It’s painted white. The house is sparkling clean.Michael drove to the garage to park his car. He has a range of cars in his garage. It’s normal for a billionaire to have all that in his possessions. His garage will be worth millions.I stared at the cars in the garage with admiration. Michael noticed, “I know you admire them a lot, have you ever seen them at all”. He likes to pick at me a lot. I ignored his oppressing words and kept admiring the cars.He parked his car at the garage, and we came down from the car. The other car also parked and the people inside came down. They were six in number. “Hello”,I greeted them. “Hello”they chorused.There was a look I got from the team. I think they must have known the story behind my coming. Their looks speak in a different tone for me. All the tones weren't pleasing to my ears and understanding.“Doctor Mason, nice to

They are all used to his proud talks within their few hours stay. I kept mute and watched him speak anyhow.My stepmother or her daughter didn’t bother to check on me to ask how all is going. I didn’t mind them. I count it as if I have no family. The ones I had are in heaven watching over me.“Excuse us Miss Wendy, Mr Michael let’s go to the other room to get your sperm”,The doctor led him off. Some tests were run on me. An injection was inserted into my body. It was painful as I laid on the bed staring at the ceiling.The process took over an hour extra. Then, it was finally done. The doctor called us together. “Congratulations to your both as the process has been carried out. We await positive results from now on”. “I really can’t wait to carry my bundle of joy in my hands”,Michael blushed. The

    He noticed I was chasing after him, he walked faster to his room. “Wait!, wait!!,”I screamed as I raced after him. He was about to close the door and I doubled my race. I pushed the door with all my strength.The door was the thin line between me and the debt. If it’s closed, all my effort will be wasted. He didn’t bother to lock it, he walked to his bed.He laid facing the ceiling, “Get out from my bedroom”. He was shaking his legs continuously. I knelt down beside his bed. “Am sorry, don’t call your dad to call it off”. He sat up, crossed his legs and faced me. “Is it the first time we are ever having fun? Or, do I say "is it the first time I am making life with you?”.Coyly, I answered, “No, I was just tired and needed rest. Since the doctor had inserted the injection. I need to get some rest”. Michael scoffed, “Well, I can’t get a good sleep until I satisfy myself”.I sighed, there is no amount of talk that would make him let go of me. Gently, I climbed the bed laid beside him. I

The child is still part of me.The girls were startled, they picked their dresses and fled. Michael frowned his face as he saw me. “You made them leave b****”. He shouted at me as he got a tiny piece of cloth around his waist.My face shows I was disgusted, sleeping with his house helpers shows he is not a man of dignity. “Am here to tell you, I can’t get out of this place except to be driven out by a resident”I uttered.His facial expressions squeezed his nose, “I am not a resident but the owner of it”. I hissed, “Am not here for any boastful words. I need to get out of this place filled with filth”.Michael formed his hand into a blow, he punched the air. I would have landed that on you. But for the sake of my unborn child I save that”. I eyed him, a cheap man always looking for ways to boast of his wealth.Am

    She handed me a handkerchief, and I wiped my face. Val moved to the kitchen, let me fix you something to eat. I sat quietly sobbing. “If you need more juice feel free to get it,”Val said from the kitchen.I went to join her in the kitchen. “You don’t need to grab your juice and go sit somewhere in the sitting room,”Valerie said to me.

Helen laughed hysterically, “This company has been dead for long, did you know how it resurrected?”. Val was shaking her head left and right as she listened to the conversation.“I don’t know how it came to be but I know the company belongs to my late father and I am a part of the beneficiary”,I said with some confidence although I am sad and heartbroken. “When your father was alive the company has you as a beneficiary. But after that it died. So, during the re-establishing you weren’t present to contribute to it”Helen lashed out.I raised an eyebrow. Her facts were not corresponding. It was a fact with no genuine talk in it. I tried to defend myself. “I wasn’t reached out to. I had no idea all this was going on. I would have contributed to it”I said.“All I know is that I and Grace has toiled to re-establish and return the factories glory. Do not come back to claim

    Michael exhaled, he was shocked with the question Roxana asked her. He never thought she could remember that particular name. “It is you, I called you that as the new affection name I gave you”.That was a plain lie Roxana knew. She pretends she was okay with it. “I will think about it. It’s strange you never called me that since”,She said. The nurses started coming in.

At a pharmacy he ordered his chauffeur to get some supplements for Roxana as well.He was hoping she forgives him and does not leak the truth to anyone. Unknown to him she has told Ann about it.

She kept mute and didn’t argue with him. “Okay, it’s fine”she hissed.Ann has been a close friend to Roxana for a long time. She knows much of her attitude and body languages.

    “Ok sir,”The chauffeur replied. He didn’t know the actual car his boss was pointing at. He only drove off towards the outside. Michael didn’t raise his head.

    Shockingly, she shut the door behind her and ran out. Michael saw her, Grace didn’t. She only heard someone banged the door. Laila went back to her seat looking stunned. She never knew they had gone so deep with their relationship.She sat for a few minutes trying to get a clearer picture of what she saw in her head. “What did I just see?”. “How can her boss be having romance at work in his office?”. “What if she wasn’t in the seat and Roxana stormed the office?”. “Is her boss really having a double affair after proposing publicly to Roxana?”. Those were the questions going on in Laila’s head.She just couldn’t fathom what exactly happened. She stared at the bare floor. “I don’t think he can have time for me now, I should visit the cafeteria to have lunch”. She left her table in the cafeteria. She was only wondering if he had broke up with Roxana to be so bold to smooch Grace in the office.“Who is that?”Grace queried. “Relax, I don’t care who was there. I love you, honeypot, and that

You are making me so proud”Helen laughed.They walked inside holding each other’s hands giggling. It was one of the best nights for them.
