“I have told you. To obey because you need to get your life. Now you are reaping your obedience”. Doctor Mason said. “Thank you sir”. I was so emotional tears gathered on my eyelids. He saw it. “I won’t tell you not to drop the tears, drop it. It’s tears of joy and happiness”.I laughed wholeheartedly, I haven’t done that since I left Val and Brown’s place. It was there I had peace. Haven’t had peace since I got to Carter's family house.I have been living in fear. “I will leave you to rest. Will see you tomorrow goodbye”Doctor Mason left. I turned to face the wall and slept peacefully. No one is creeping on me at night. I miss Val and Brown. I promise to communicate with them the next day.The next morning, Michelle and Denzel came to the hospital to check on me. They came with Olivia. I was excited to see Olivia. I think I miss her. She is also a good girl. Olivia had a big bag with her.A few seconds later, Doctor Mason entered. He acted better to them than the previous day. “We de
I was overwhelmed. I don’t know if I should carry her up or jump on her. Either of the two. I can’t do it yet. I was still weak. I wondered how she knew I needed the phone. She has known me more than I could imagine. “This is so thoughtful of you”.She moved close to me. I hugged her from the bed. My whole work is complete now. I have nothing to bother myself about. First thing I checked was my account balance.Lo and behold, the money Doctor Mason said is resting there. I had five dollars before I took the job and Brown and Val restaurant. I left the job with one thousand five hundred as my salary. Shouldn’t have earned that much.Brown was generous to pay me that. There are days I got to work late. And the day I didn’t finish my shift before running home.In my account was a whopping sum of two hundred and fifty six thousand, five hundred and five dollars. “Oh my”,I screamed. I held my stomach. The screaming made me feel pain. I should be screaming or doing anything that will stret
She swore. She banged her table hard. Her hand turned red. She moved close to the mirror at the side of her office. “I am the epitome of beauty. Has Michael forgotten so quickly that he has spent millions on his body to look this good like an hourglass”.She frowns at herself while staring at the mirror. “Go get your man, leave ego and pride out of it. He is your man”. She confronted herself using the mirror. She called his number again. At that time she wasn’t talking to herself.“Hello Michael. I will send you an address for us to meet today”. Since there was a fight between them. Michael had concentrated more on his work. He is expecting a child. Which might be his only child in life. So he is dedicating all his energy to be greater.He wants his child to have at least. A hundred million dollars in his account at the birth time. His day was fixed up. He believes with a lot of work on his table he would not think about Roxana too much.Surely, he has the money to win over any lady’s
The statement Ann made was what Roxana doesn’t want to hear. Roxana fixed her gaze on Ann like forever “Are you for real?”. Ann scoffed, “What truth do you want to hear again. The eggs ain’t yours. That was the mistake. Just try to get a legal backing”.Roxana thought about it. “That is good then. But how do I go about it?”. Ann moved closer. She whispered into Roxana’s ears, “Try to get Michael to marry you. By that, legally, you have the power over him. Tell him, you do not want the child because the child isn’t your eggs”. Roxana murmured, “Hmmm”.Ann continued to whisper, “If he says no, threaten him with divorce. Or try to plant bad information about the surrogate mother in him. Make him get angry, so he can attack the surrogate mother. Roxana widened her eyeballs, she covered her mouth with her hands.Ann looked around to be sure no one was focused in their direction. She continued with her dangerous plan, “That way, she will lose her pregnancy. And you both can get a new surrog
I was walking around the ward. Trying not to always lay on my bed. Olivia was laughing at me as I was doing some exercise in the room. The relationship between me and Olivia has blossomed.She has a good friendly spirit which has drawn me closer to her. Michael walked in and saw me walking around the room. “Make sure you take it easy with the exercise. It shouldn’t be tough. Baby, doesn’t need that much exercise”. He cautioned in a friendly tone.Olivia had stood from the plastic chair and bowed as she saw him enter the room. She now slightly, “Welcome sir”. Michael looked at her. “I see you have gained more pounds since you started staying here with Wendy”. He pointed at Olivia.It sounds funny but Olivia dares not to laugh. She doesn’t know if it was a compliment or a warning. She stood still trying not to laugh. My dress was getting tight. My baby bump was expanding and making the cloth quite uncomfortable for me.“I see my seed is germinating really fast and good”He scoffed. I smi
Ann shakes her head and sighed. Her friend is in love with what she has just said. She is thinking otherwise. “I see you want to think too far about it. You shouldn’t. He will come around”.“Ann, I called, I waited. What else does he want me to do,”Roxana cried. Ann hugged her tight. “No, don’t do this to your pretty self. Am sure he misses you”.She tried to console her friend. “He is heartless and ruthless”Roxana cried more. “We will go out for dinner soon. You should get off this mood Rosie, pretty Rosie”, Ann joked. She tickled her friend.“I think I need to just eat and sleep. I missed work today. I don’t want to miss it tomorrow”Roxana replied tiredly. “If that is your choice. When it’s six o’clock. We will get some takeout food and go home”Ann suggested. “Ok good”Roxana agreed.Days passed into weeks, it’s finally a month since I got to the hospital. It’s time for me to return back to the Carter family house. I wasn’t too happy about it. Doctor Mason has been so nice to me duri
A month ultimatum given to Jacquelyn and her husband had expired but she had moved away from the house with her family and cut ties with her family. Liberty still keeps in touch.Helen and Grace were still staying with Joanna in Joanna’s house. She was waiting for the house to be vacant so she could lease the place before traveling back to her husband’s house.Joanna drove her sister and her niece to their late parents house. It’s been three years since Joanna went there. She parked outside the house.The hall alighted. The memories of the house was just clear to Helen. She didn’t have the time to mourn the memories of her late parents the day she came.The way the house looked made her feel bad. Her sad heart overshadowed the thought to miss and mourn her parents loss. “Helen, I don’t think I ever want to enter in there?”. Joanna stayed behind and pointed to the house. Helen knew what her sister meant. Their hearts were heavy but Helen was trying to be brave.“Helen, the house is so
The next morning after Michael sent the message, Roxana got the message. She couldn’t contain her joy. She switched her phone off and on it again. “Could this be real?”. She checked the time it was past eight in the night.She called Ann, “Hello, are you home?”. “Sure. You want to come over?”Ann asked. “I have something unbelievable to show you,”Roxana giggled. “Okay, come over,”Ann said.Ann wouldn’t even think it could be about anything concerning Michael. It’s been over a month since he and Roxana communicated.She was so happy she drove to Ann’s place without replying to the message. She never expected he would be the one to text her first. Talk more of still having the marriage plans at heart.While Roxana and Michael’s relationship hit the rock. Ann tried many times to hook Roxana up with some wealthy high class men. But she rejected them all and insisted only Michael knew how to handle her best.Ann was waiting for her friend’s arrival. She came and drove in. Ann was sitting w
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.
