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
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. “Wendy, what happened? You are home so early”Val questioned.Arriving home was my greatest relief. “I don’t want to have conversations with my stepmother and stepsister. They came to the restaurant”. Val covered her mouth, “Oh!”.I explained, “I told Brown about them. He made me use his car through the exit door”. Val ran to check outside, “Are you sure they didn’t see you come here?”. “No one saw me. They didn’t. I watched out no car was trailing me”.We walked inside the house. I wasn’t too happy with the whole thing. The way and not being fully at work. What if the work doesn’t belong to the person I knew. “I wish it was Michael who had shown up. And not these selfish set of people”Val scowls.“My thoughts as well,”I added. We got inside. I wen
“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
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.
