They look more determined. “It’s good if you trace it. It’s not bad if you liberate your mother from all this suffering and get back to school yourself”. Joanna stated. “Yes aunty,”Grace chuckled.“Where can I put the house on lease for people to get notifications. I want to put it on lease before traveling back”Helen mentioned. “I will help you with that but you said the house is in a bad state”Joanna suggested.Helen has another bite on the burger and drops it. Grace was listening to their conversation. Helen answered,“Yes, the house is in a bad state. If they pay in advance I will do some little touches. I obviously do not have money to renovate it now”.“I doubt if anyone can do that these days except the house is in an environment like ours. But at that place I doubt it”Joanna chuckled. “I actually do not have money for renovation to be frank. Jacquelyn and Liberty did me dirty. I can’t allow them to stay in there anymore”Helen vows.They are her sisters and the house belonged t
He checked his phone. Roxana had hung up. “I will call you later, let me sort the problem at hand”. He said to himself. He raced to the doctor’s office with his family.It was the stress Doctor Mason wanted them to go through. Now he wasn’t done with them yet, he planned to make them regret every single pain Michael brought to me.“Doctor, please hope the baby will be saved please?”Michael pleaded. He was pleading when his parents entered the office. They have never seen him so remorseful. He was pleading like a baby whose toy was snatched. “The injuries are too much on a pregnant lady. I do not know how long it will take. I only said a month”. Doctor Mason answered without making contact with any of them.He continued with the work on his table. “Mason, what are the chances?”Denzel asked. “The chances with the baby or the mother, which one of them?”He answered nonchalantly. “Both. Of course, it’s the mother that is carrying the child”Michael said.So, he truly cares about my health.
“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
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
Shockingly, she shut the door behind her and ran out. Michael saw her, Grace didn’t. She only heard someone banged the door. Laila went back to her seat looking stunned. She never knew they had gone so deep with their relationship.She sat for a few minutes trying to get a clearer picture of what she saw in her head. “What did I just see?”. “How can her boss be having romance at work in his office?”. “What if she wasn’t in the seat and Roxana stormed the office?”. “Is her boss really having a double affair after proposing publicly to Roxana?”. Those were the questions going on in Laila’s head.She just couldn’t fathom what exactly happened. She stared at the bare floor. “I don’t think he can have time for me now, I should visit the cafeteria to have lunch”. She left her table in the cafeteria. She was only wondering if he had broke up with Roxana to be so bold to smooch Grace in the office.“Who is that?”Grace queried. “Relax, I don’t care who was there. I love you, honeypot, and that
