Michael didnât answer his phone, he came out of his car. He yelled, âWho the hell owns this carâ. 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 doctorâs office directly. Brown had called him before we got there.âGood evening doctorâBrown shakes the doctor. âHow are you Brown?, get a seat,âThe doctor said. I sat also, âGood eveningâ I greeted.âGood evening Missâ,The doctor shook my hand. âShe has been running hot and has been vomitingâ,Brown told the doctor. He brought out his stethoscope and placed it on my chest and on his ears. âNot bad,âhe said. âBrown,I would have to run a test on herâ.Brown agreed, âNo problem, just want her to be fineâ. 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,âHis at the?, wait, you said you are at the airport right. Will come pick you upâ. Michelle rolled her eyes, âWill be waitingâ.Denzel knocked on his chauffeurâs door. âWake up, come and drive me to the airport and hospitalâ. The chauffeur woke up, rubbed his face and collected the key from Denzel.Quickly, Denzel hopped in the car. âTake me to the hospital from there you drive to Jameson hospitalâHe ordered his chauffeur. Denzel was frustrated, âI donât even know what else to do?. Oh my!â.Denzel nagged all the way to the airport. âMichelle will be angry at me. She will call me incapable. How did I let this happen. Helen will pay me all, I donât even need the grandchild anymoreâ.Michelle was sitting at the waiting chair. She had been standing for too long. âSpeed it up a bit. Step on the gas. Michelle doesnât like to be kept waitingâDenzel 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 didnât change. âBrown, you know about this?â. Brown nods his head slowly.The confirmation didnât sit well with Val. âBrown, how did you know?. The hospital?âVal asked. Brown managed to speak up, âYesâ. I cut Wendyâs speech off, âVal, Brown, allow me to continue pleaseâ.âOkâthey chorused. I begin, âYou both have shown me the love I havenât felt since the demise of my fatherâ. 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. âThe period of time my family was in a financial crisis, I was used as the sacrificial lambâ. âSacrificial lamb,âThey repeated.It sounds strange to them. I scoffed and continued, âMy stepmother heard about a billionaire who was willing to have a surrogate mother. And was willing to pay the surrogate mother offâ. Brown and Val sighed, âokâ.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 didnât get up till I slept off.The doctor came out of the theater. He walked to Michaelâs emergency room to see him. Denzel jumped up, âAm his fatherâ. The doctor turned back, âMr Carter!, I was surprised to see Michael in that state. Good evening sirâ.Luckily for Denzel, Michelle had only taken a stroll away to answer her girlâs call. She would have stared at him badly with what the doctor just said. âJust attend to him please. We will talk about this laterâ. 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 Michaelâs emergency room. She increased her steps and caught up with him. âDoctor, I am Michelle Carter. His mother. How is my son doing?â.The doctor had a big smile on, âI 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. âHis arrogant nature has taken over him againâ. 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. âWow, Wendy, you are up. How healthy do you feel today?â. I raised my hands up, âAm okay. Better than two days ago. Thank youâ. I hugged her.âI see you look betterâVal praised me. âYeah, I should get ready soon. I donât want Brown getting ready before meâI ran to the bathroom. âTake it easy, don't over do anythingâVal shouts from the kitchen. I know the reason she is screaming was because of the embryo. âVal, I will,âI laughed back.I was quick with my dressing up. âHello Val, where is Wendy?. And how is she feeling now?â. Brown was dressed up and was asking after me. I could hear his voice from the room. I rushed to the sitting room. âMorning Brown, hope you slept
I drove home staring at my mirror if they were following me. No car was trailing me. I honked at the gate. Val came out to open the gate.I drove into the parking lots. I parked the car there. Val followed me as I drove to the parking lots. âWendy, what happened? You are home so earlyâVal questioned.Arriving home was my greatest relief. âI donât want to have conversations with my stepmother and stepsister. They came to the restaurantâ. Val covered her mouth, âOh!â.I explained, âI told Brown about them. He made me use his car through the exit doorâ. Val ran to check outside, âAre you sure they didnât see you come here?â. âNo one saw me. They didnât. I watched out no car was trailing meâ.We walked inside the house. I wasnât too happy with the whole thing. The way and not being fully at work. What if the work doesnât belong to the person I knew. âI wish it was Michael who had shown up. And not these selfish set of peopleâVal scowls.âMy thoughts as well,âI added. We got inside. I wen
âOh my!" she wrote to me. And itâs past two. This is seven. I have to write to herâ,Michael said. âI should pull this off without my parentsâHe said to himself.He texted me, âI 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 afternoonâ.However, Helen and Grace didnât 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. âWelcome Brown, thanks for todayâI hugged him. He didnât 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. âBrown the hug is okay. She has a baby growing in her. Donât press too hardâ. Brown must have over-think about the moment. âOh!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 didnât 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, âYou donât say that to people. She was in a situation she couldn't control. Donât hurt her moreâ.I swallowed my saliva and exhaled, âVal, itâs fine. I should get going nowâ. I picked my bag. âYou should take my car,âBrown yells. I heard him from outside. But I didnât stop in my tracks. Val ran after me with the car key, âWendy!, Wendy!!, Wendy!!!â.I slowed down my tracks for Val to catch up with me. Which eventually, she did. âSorry about Brownâs statement. He must be going through heartbreak from his so-called girlfriendâ. I donât want to talk. I might start to âTake his car to work to ease your stressâ.I exhaled twice, I donât want to turn down
The labor pains were too much and unbearable. My water broke, Michael started and didn't know what to do for a few seconds. âSir, letâs take her to the hospitalâ, Olivia said. He carried me breathing hard. âSir, let me help you, is she not heavy?âThe chauffeur said. âNo, she is carrying my child. She is not heavy and I love her,âHe 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. âI am done forâ. âI want to urinateâ. âThe pain is unbearableâ. 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 couldnât. 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. âDonât let her into my officeâHe told Laila. Immediately, Laila stood guard in front of her boss's office. She could hear Roxanaâs voice shouting as she approached the office. âWhere is the loser?. I will give you a few days. Have your count down you will be off hereâShe boasted.As she made her way to his office Laila stopped her. âI am sure, you donât want to get into a fight with me,âshe frowned. âMrs Carter, you can not enter thereâLaila said. She pulled Laila off the road. Laila staggered to regain her balance she ran after her and pulled her back.She slapped Lailaâs face. âHow dare you touch my expensive body with your filthy hands?âShe yelled. Laila held her cheeks as it stings. Michael heard Roxana slap Laila. He came out of his offic
âIf that will please you. I will do it,âMichael replied. He wasnât willing to argue with Roxana. He knows she has always been jealous of me. Roxana smiled, âGoodâ. âYou know I love you so much. And I will do anything for youâMichael said. âI love you too. Letâs get to sleep. We have to be early for the family breakfast tomorrowâ,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 doesnât want me to go far away from the house because of his child. He didnât sleep early that night. âMy grandfatherâs house. Is it the safest and comfortable for her to stay with my child,âHe 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. âHello everyone, Roxana said she doesnât 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 doesnât 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 doesnât need to prolong issues or look further. Her final finds will be with Michaelâs phone. âItâs fine you all can leave thank youâ,Roxana dismisses the gathering.There was nothing to think about again further. She knows nothing about Michael's job. She was only there as itâs 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. âHello Mrs Roxana CarterâAnn teased her friend. âAnn, stop being naughty,âRoxana laughed. It
Michael sighed, âOk sir. Thank you sirâ. âGood son, you can take your leave now,âLawrence said. Michael hugged his father and took his leave. He joined Rosie in the sitting room. âWhat happened?. Any problem?âShe inquired. âNo, he was only lecturing me on how to take great care of youâMichael lied.Roxana laughed and they left. They hopped into the waiting car and left for Lawrence court expansion. âWelcome to your humble abode my beautiful RosieâMichael announced. Roxana looked around like it was her first time in the house.âOf course Itâs mineâ,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 didnât say anything. âMrs Carter, I am okay now. Hope you are good?â. 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. âMy outfit will be ready next month with my husband and father inlawâMichelle said proudly. âOurs would be ready next month also. Our guest list is prepared,âMrs 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. âRosie, I am really sorry. Next two months. I canât wait for you to be Mrs Carterâ,Michael pleaded.âOk. I have heard. I really canât wait also,âRoxana 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. âMeans I canât quit my job?âshe asked. âYou canât. Except you want to face jail terms or wait till after the two compulsory yearsâCharles told her.She was caught in the middle of a hard task and doesnât know what to do. She was disappointed in herself and doesnât 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 doesnât 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.âGet a letter sent to Grace Jenkins tomorrow telling her to stop work on the company and never set foot there else she would be suedâMichael instructed the lawyer.
Everyone went silent. Michael didnât 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, âWendy used her influence to jail meâ. Grace couldnât 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
âThis could be a misinterpretation. I didnât do anything. She was the one who came to attack me hereâHelen 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.âMichael, really, this is really happening?âShe 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 didnât go to Michaelâs office at all and didnât wait for him by the close of the hour.
