“Oh my!" she wrote to me. And it’s past two. This is seven. I have to write to her”,Michael said. “I should pull this off without my parents”He said to himself.He texted me, “I just got your message. I was at the restaurant today with my family to see you. Will come over tomorrow at the same time you said. Two in the afternoon”.However, Helen and Grace didn’t find anything about where I was sleeping. The only information they know about me right now is that I work at Brown and Val. They had no idea it was owned by my friends and their family.Brown got a cab to the house, the drugs must have made me oversleep. Movement in the sitting room woke me. It was Brown. “Welcome Brown, thanks for today”I hugged him. He didn’t let go of me quickly. He heard me close to his body. He pressed my body against his.Val came to the sitting room, she cleared her throat. “Brown the hug is okay. She has a baby growing in her. Don’t press too hard”. Brown must have over-think about the moment. “Oh!sorr
Those words from Brown were a disappointment, I felt I had his support to meet with Michael. His words threw me off balance. I didn’t reply to him. I saved my words.Moreover, it was not his fault it was my fault for leaving my parents house and taking refuge there. Val was and is kind to me and made me come to her. Val hit Brown lightly, “You don’t say that to people. She was in a situation she couldn't control. Don’t hurt her more”.I swallowed my saliva and exhaled, “Val, it’s fine. I should get going now”. I picked my bag. “You should take my car,”Brown yells. I heard him from outside. But I didn’t stop in my tracks. Val ran after me with the car key, “Wendy!, Wendy!!, Wendy!!!”.I slowed down my tracks for Val to catch up with me. Which eventually, she did. “Sorry about Brown’s statement. He must be going through heartbreak from his so-called girlfriend”. I don’t want to talk. I might start to “Take his car to work to ease your stress”.I exhaled twice, I don’t want to turn down
“This is for real?. You are pregnant?. I will be a father?”. He kept asking questions. I was embarrassed that the people in the restaurant would hear us. “Keep your voice low please?”I pleaded. “Oh, I didn't know I was acting out of character. Let’s go shopping for my child” he insisted.I looked around, “Am still at work. I need to earn my paycheck”. Michael Guffaw, “How do you get paid?, is it weekly?. I will pay for it now. I need to start giving my son a treat”.“It’s weekly,”I answered. “I will return you back soon to work then”he suggested. I check the time on my wristwatch. I have just two minutes for my break to be over. “I can’t make it today. My break will be over in two minutes”.“Let me tip off your assistant, to buy an hour. Just an hour. And you will be back”,Michael insisted. He sounded soft and cool. I took his offer. It's his money he wants to spend. And in the long run, the child belongs to us. So, why not get a treat for the child now.I walked up to my colleague, t
Furiously, Brown stood from the chair. He kicked the table. “I knew it, she wasn’t pleased with me. I caused this?”. He was throwing tantrums. I had to correct his thoughts. “Brown, take it easy on yourself. You are not the cause of anything”I said.Brown would not just stay in one place. He kept kicking the sir. Val was tired. The news I said shocked her to the extent she was still in her chair and was not moving. “Val!, Val!!, Valerie”. I called her frequently. I tried to move her body.She placed her hands on the table and rested her jaws on them. Her mouth was still opened. I used my hand to push her lower lips to meet with the upper lips. I was at the center of all this. Consoling Brown and trying to bring Valerie, back to life.It was a hectic way for me to end my day. “Val, you need to hear me out please”I persuaded her. She loves her body for the first time in about two minutes. “Brown caused all this. Brown should be blamed for this”She screamed. I saw tears rolling down her
Everyone stood from their seats, Michelle was about to run outside. “Ma. Yes, the baby is here. The implant is successful. However, the carrier will be home tomorrow”. Michelle was excited. The joy took over her to the extent she started jumping around the room.“My son is a man indeed. He has grown past what I see daily”. Michelle rained praises on Michael. Denzel’s mind can now be at peace. His reconciliation with his wife is guaranteed.It’s a joyful moment for the Carter family. “My son, I know you are great”. Denzel hugged his son tight. “Michelle, you should not be angry with me anymore. Your grandchild is coming home”. Denzel moved closer to Michelle, “Your anger is justifiable. Be happy, your grandchild is here”.Michelle hugged her husband. “I was scared I would never get a grandchild”. “My grandson is fertile, sure you will,”Lawrence added. Michael was glad his parents are now back to their normal ways. He was the bridge that connected them again.Part of what he has always
They packed some of their belongings that had scattered around. And kept it all in a box. “We will leave by seven in the morning,”Helen announced. Grace wondered,“But, how do we get access to the house?. Do any of your family members still reside there?.“No one stays there anymore. I will contact Jacquelyn to ask about it on our way tomorrow,”Helen said. “Ok mommy,”Grace replied. She went to the bathroom. “Shower and have a good night's sleep”. They took their turns to bathe and slept off. Their bags have been packed.I woke up five minutes late. “Not again!”. The drugs have been making me oversleep since I started taking it. “Val, has stopped this alarm again”I scoffed. Val Isn’t helping things. She will switch my alarm off intentionally. To allow me to get more rest.Anyways, I need the rest. Brown’s bed is not in the room any more. He has taken it to his room. Same time, I need to be punctual at work. I shouldn’t run the job like it’s not my concern. It’s my last day sleeping in t
“Hello, Rose, Roxana,”Michael said on the phone. He checked his phone and saw it was off. The call has been disconnected “Really, she ends the call on me. Wow”. He went to join his family at the garden. “Why is your face like that?”. Michelle noticed.“It’s Roxana, she is pissed I didn’t make time for her since yesterday”. “Hum”Michelle murmured. “Have been busy trying to get to Wendy. And going shopping”. “Roxana should understand things. The baby is for you both”. Michelle said. “ I don't think she wants to be a part,”Michael revealed.“Michael, stop that. Why did you say that?”Denzel queried. “She said it’s not her eggs,”Michael replied. Silence fell in the gathering. It’s the truth, it wasn’t her eggs that were donated. It was my egg. The baby is genetically mine.Michael broke the silence. “Mummy, when are your orders delivered?. I want to be there to see all”. “Of course. In the next one hour all should be delivered here”Michelle confirms.“When are you picking her up today?”Den
The driver increases his speed to get home quickly. Michael cautioned him, “There is a baby on board. Drive carefully”. I smiled. He turned at me. “What’s funny?. Am not a comedian”.I smiled because he said there is a baby on board. The baby is inside me. And not out yet. “Nothing, I'm just smiling,” I replied. Michael scoffed,“If that will make the baby healthy keep smiling”.I stopped smiling. “I feel bad seeing you wearing that thing over my child”. I know he's talking about the restaurant apron. The driver reduces his speed. We got home forty five minutes later. It was a slow ride. The chauffeur rode gently to avoid Michael’s rage. The house was a magnificent house. It’s so big and spacious. I didn’t expect less from the owner of the Lawrence court.His house is the most beautiful and biggest in the court. He owned it of course. The chauffeur drove into the house. The car was parked at the parking lot. I stepped out of the car. “Would have gotten the door for you but I know there
“Good, that is how it should be. Where was she when I was lobbying for a loan from Michael”,Grace sounds angry. For a moment she got who to transfer her aggression to. Her suspension and embarrassing aggressions.“Don’t bother yourself. She will be removed tomorrow. I want her removed before the company goes further. So, people won’t say I remove her when the money starts rolling in”,Helen said. Grace nods, “Nice idea mommy”. They both went to their separate rooms and took their bath and came back to the dining table.Helen micro waved the food she cooked in the morning. And dished it out for the two of them. “Next month, we are getting a house helper. I will be too busy at work to cook”Helen declares. “Ok mommy,”Grace agrees. After the food they went to watch a drama on the television for a few minutes.Grace was only staring at the television, her mind wasn’t there. She was far gone in her head thinking about how to face Michael the next day. Her mind drifts to Laila. She cursed her
Ann clapped her hands and snapped her fingers, “Smart girl”. Roxana laughed, shaking her head. She and her friend were having their moment. “I wish we could cheer for this but alcohol isn’t allowed in the hospital ward,”Roxana jokes.Her friend laughed, raising her head up. “When you are healed up. We will cheer for it. I promise,”Ann said. Roxana has an idea. “I should have a picture of how badly I was hurt by him. So, if I try changing my mind and I look back at the pictures I will be strong hearted”.“It’s a good idea. I will do you the favor”,Ann stood. She took her phone to take pictures of the wounds and bruises. She drops her phone and takes Roxana’s phone. Her parents have brought her phone to her in the hospital.Ann takes the phone to take pictures of the wounds and bruises. When Michael walked in. Ann has started taking the pictures on Roxana’s phone. Michael saw how Roxana was turning her body and Ann was taking pictures of it.Obviously, the sight irritates Michael. He ha
I looked at Val, my heart suddenly ceased to work. My breath increased. “Ma, I don’t understand you?”I managed to utter. 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. Michael was expected to leave till the visiting hour.“I will return at the visiting hour. Take your fruits and supplements to heal up quick”Michael said and left. He went home to bath and get ready for work.As expected, Helen and Grace gets ready for the day. Grace has nowhere to go she has been suspended. However, she didn’t tell her mother. Grace drove her to her workplace. “Grace, we are here get down from the car and enter there”,Helen says. “Oh, sorry Ma”She smiled and alighted from the car.She watched her mother’s car leave and she called Charles. She obviously can’t enter the company she has been suspended fo
He gnawed his teeth. “Let’s go to Brentford hospital”he ordered his chauffeur. As they drove to the hospital he stopped at a fruit stand. Ordered his chauffeur to get many fruits for Roxana. 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. Ann didn’t plan to leak it but to mark out a great plan for whoever he was cheating on that made him beat her up.He entered the hospital and saw Miranda at the waiting room. “Mrs Briggs, how are you?”He asked and hugged her. “Michael, I am okay. And leads from the police?”,she inquired. They disengage the hugs. “Mrs Briggs, calm your nerves. I am serious about it. It will be good. I just want my Rosie to get well first,”Michael said.He was trying to calm Mrs Briggs by laying emphasis on Roxana’s well-being. “Can we go inside now?”He asked. “No, the visiting hour is in the next five minutes,”She said, che
He yelled and pointed in their direction, “What is this supposed to mean?. Is this a love garden or a working place?. Who does this romantic show off while at work?”. Everyone around shivered. Michael’s voice echoed loud around the building.Charles and Grace stood up in fears. Charles has known his boss to be strict man who is feared around. Grace hasn’t seen this side of him till that moment. She looked around to see if it was reality.Michael has never been so harsh on her. He just got her a beautiful bracelet the previous day. What could have gone wrong just yesterday to the next day?. She was confused. Other members of the staff stood facing downwards. They don’t want to share eye contact with him. Michael’s breath increased and his face was red while his eyes were splitting fire.“Mr Wellington, is this how you head your department?. Playing and showing off affections while at work?”Michael screamed. Mr Wellington could not reply.No one dare replies Michael whenever his angry.
He widened his eyes. Ann must have heard what he said. He instantly changed the discussion. “I am sorry for allowing you to go home by yourself. I should have driven you home”.Roxana was confused about what he said. She was about to retreat when she saw Ann approaching. 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. She didn’t argue with Michael or challenged him to repeat what he just said.She only tried to send him a message pretentiously. “Michael, use your connection and power to find the culprit. Because if you don’t, I will find it out myself”She said.Michael exhaled, “I will for sure”. The project at work was done so Laila had to call her boss. Michael excused himself from the ward to take Laila’s call. “Hello sir, the robot has completed 99.9percent. It’s okay to be launched”. This is great news for Michael and his household.The launch of the rob
Her mother rushed towards her daughter screaming, “Help! Help!!,Help!!!”. Immediately, two house helpers ran to the spot and helped Roxana up. Her mother got close to her daughter. Her heart stopped for a few minutes.“What could have happened to her?”. “Who could have attacked her”. “There are bruises and marks all over her body”. And signs of teeth bites. It was a scary scene to watch for the mother over her child. She cried as she inspected the marks and bruises. Roxana’s eyes remained closed, she wasn’t moving or breathing.The mother tried to revive her daughter but she couldn’t. She called the emergency number. For some help to come over and help her. They were taking too long. She can’t keep watching her daughter lay motionlessly like that.With the help of the house helpers. She was able to carry her in the car. She was crying as they carried her. She couldn’t wait for the arrival of the emergency services. She drove her daughter to a nearby hospital.The manner at which she d
“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. He was still dialing Roxana’s phone number.The chauffeur was still looking around but didn’t know where he was actually driving to. And who exactly he was chasing. Roxana’s number went through and she picked the phone. “Hello Michael, what is wrong?”. “Rosie, I am sorry, I have been so busy I haven’t eaten since. Where are you?”Michael said.“Hmm, ok, if that is it. I am at work packing up to leave”Roxana replied. “Okay, wait. I will be there soon”He uttered. Michael ends the call.“Drive to Roxana’s store. Don’t chase the car anymore. Tomorrow is another day for that”He uttered. That’s a sign of relief for the chauffeur because he was only driving and not chasing after any car.If Michael had not mentioned about going to Roxana’s office it would have been a difficult day for the chauffeur as Michale would get angry if he didn't
