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. âMake sure you take it easy with the exercise. It shouldnât be tough. Baby, doesnât need that much exerciseâ. 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, âWelcome sirâ. Michael looked at her. âI see you have gained more pounds since you started staying here with Wendyâ. He pointed at Olivia.It sounds funny but Olivia dares not to laugh. She doesnât 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.âI see my seed is germinating really fast and goodâHe scoffed. I smi
Ann shakes her head and sighed. Her friend is in love with what she has just said. She is thinking otherwise. âI see you want to think too far about it. You shouldnât. He will come aroundâ.âAnn, I called, I waited. What else does he want me to do,âRoxana cried. Ann hugged her tight. âNo, donât do this to your pretty self. Am sure he misses youâ.She tried to console her friend. âHe is heartless and ruthlessâRoxana cried more. âWe will go out for dinner soon. You should get off this mood Rosie, pretty Rosieâ, Ann joked. She tickled her friend.âI think I need to just eat and sleep. I missed work today. I donât want to miss it tomorrowâRoxana replied tiredly. âIf that is your choice. When itâs six oâclock. We will get some takeout food and go homeâAnn suggested. âOk goodâRoxana agreed.Days passed into weeks, itâs finally a month since I got to the hospital. Itâs time for me to return back to the Carter family house. I wasnât 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 Joannaâs house. She was waiting for the house to be vacant so she could lease the place before traveling back to her husbandâs house.Joanna drove her sister and her niece to their late parents house. Itâs 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 didnât 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. âHelen, I donât think I ever want to enter in there?â. 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.âHelen, the house is so
The next morning after Michael sent the message, Roxana got the message. She couldnât contain her joy. She switched her phone off and on it again. âCould this be real?â. She checked the time it was past eight in the night.She called Ann, âHello, are you home?â. âSure. You want to come over?âAnn asked. âI have something unbelievable to show you,âRoxana giggled. âOkay, come over,âAnn said.Ann wouldnât even think it could be about anything concerning Michael. Itâs been over a month since he and Roxana communicated.She was so happy she drove to Annâs 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 Michaelâs 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 friendâs arrival. She came and drove in. Ann was sitting w
That is good. Get some sleep so you can wake early to reply to his messageâAnn turned her back to Roxana. She closed her eyes and allowed nature to take its roles.Roxana didnât go to sleep quickly; she kept re-reading the message Michael sent. âIf the surrogate child will be the problem. I will make it not happen. This is my chance. I wonât ruin itâ. She said to herself. She lay comfortably, reading the message for the last time. And slept.Anxious didnât let aroxana get enough sleep. She kept rolling on the bed to different sides. She couldn't sleep. All her mindset was with Michael. She had a little dream where they both went on a date and he proposed to her.She was just filled with his thoughts. By five oâclock in the morning. She was fully awake. She went to the sitting room on the television set. She set her alarm at six oâclock to reply to Michael's message.By six her alarm goes on. She grabbed her phone and replied âHmmm, really, how sure?â. She tried staying up if she would
To make up for the days they had been apart from eachother. And to mark a new beginning. Because he has nothing to fear again. His threading softly with me. He only waits the day for the babyâs delivery.Michael tries to get a nice place to meet with Roxana. âWe about to start another journey to lead to forever. I should get the best placeâ. He said to himself. He decided to consult the help of his secretary. He rings his secretary, Laila.She entered within a few seconds. âHello sir, I am here,âLaila said. âOk, I need you to search for a place. I mean a nice place fit for date. Dinner dateâ. He said while turning in his chair.âI will go through the best places with the highest recommendation and best reviews. I will be back in two minutes sirâ Laila leaves.She was about to open the door. Michaelâs voice made her stop in her tracks. âMake sure, the places you will pick. Will be where Roxana would loveâMichael said. âOk sirâLaila gets to the door and leaves.She was wondering in her
As Michael got to the venue. He had been approached about how he wants the propose to go. He was told about all Laila explained to him. He didnât change anything about it.His bodyguards were sitting in the tables for four and six. Not far away from him. He also sat patiently waiting for Roxana. He looked around admiring the place.Roxana checked herself and proceeded to the inside. Michael was sitting down waiting for it. Michael checked his wristwatch for the time. It was three minutes past six.He was looking around to see if she was close by. Roxana appeared. Walking into the space, she loves the ambiance of the cool colors. The owner must be an art lover. There are nice paintings on the walls.She also looks stunning in her outfit. With her blue outfit matching the coolness of the environment. The little bulbs made the place scream brightness. Michael stood to receive her. Michael admire his outfit. She miss his fashion sense. Itâs been over a month since they saw eachother exce
Everything was happening so fast. The world was spinning in Roxanaâs sight. She became breathless. Just a minute ago. He was pleading for her to forgive him. Turning to leave she received a bouquet of roses and Michael was kneeling on his knees.He was only kneeling. The billboard announcing their proposal was displayed. It had been at their backs all along. The lights around it were turned on. There the huge writing was, âWould you please be my wife?â.The proposal captured the attention of many people around. They fixed their gaze on them. With a phone camera directed at them. Michael brought out the ring from his trouser. He opened the small box and brought out a diamond wristwatch. âAwwnâ âwowâ âthis is beautifulâ, Those are the comments from the people around.This is what Roxana had always wanted all her life. She was on top of the world. There is the man of his dreams kneeling in front of many people proposing to her. Roxana stretched her left hand forward. âYes!, Yes!!,Yes!!!â
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.
