Mr. Reed stood in his room, pacing around, waiting for James to come in. He was furious and confused, and he didn't know what to make of the situation.As James entered, "What is she talking about, son? Can someone explain to me?" He looked taken aback, and he tried to deny it. "Dad, I have no idea," he said, shaking his head.Mr. Reed's expression turned incredulous. "What do you mean you have no idea?" he asked, his voice rising. "I'm sure we all heard her mention her daughter being pregnant for you. When did all of these happen without me knowing?" James looked down, avoiding his father's gaze. "It's not what you think, Dad," he said, trying to explain.But Mr. Reed was having none of it. "Now it's not what I think? What do you think I think, Mr. Man? Do you realize the embarrassment you've caused me right in front of people out there?" he said, his voice filled with anger. "You're telling me that you didn't get some girl pregnant and then abandon her? You're telling me that you

“That does not answer my question: what's going on between you two, and what marriage contract are you both talking about?” Mr. Reed asked as he entered the room. The room became silent, as they both stared at each other, unsure of how to respond. The tension in the room was palpable, and Mr. Reed's expression turned from curious to concerned.“Can somebody answer me? Mr. Reed asked again, his voice a little louder this time. Bella took a deep breath and began to explain. "I'm sorry sir, the marriage was all a lie," she said, her voice shaking. "It was a contract, an arrangement between me and James. He wanted someone so he could sign a deal off, while I, on the other hand, needed money to clear off my debt and my sister's hospital bill." Mr. Reed's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at James, then back at Bella."You both gotta be kidding me. What do you mean?" Mr. Reed asked, his voice filled with confusion. "So you both are trying to tell me you signed a marriage contract, and

Finally, Mr. Reed dropped all charges leveled against Emily, and she was released, accompanied home by her mum, As they got home, Emily couldn't help but feel a sense of relief and happiness. "I'm super happy to be back home; thank you, Mum," she said, hugging her mother tightly. Mrs. Valerie welcomed her daughter back home with open arms, tears of joy streaming down her face."Welcome back home my darling," she said, holding Emily close. "I'm so sorry for what you've been through. I feel like I've failed you as a mother." But Emily quickly interrupted her mother, saying she should be the one apologizing, not her.“Mum, you shouldn't be apologizing to me," she said. "I'm the one who should be apologizing to you. I'm the one who put you through all of this, and now I'm pregnant with the same man."Mrs. Valerie's expression turned serious, but she quickly assured her daughter that everything would be fine. "It's okay, everything will be fine," she said, giving Emily a big hug. "We'll g

Steve and James were sitting at the office after a brief meeting with the staff, apologizing for the scene at the party, both discussing the recent events that had unfolded. "Hmm, I told you, James, I warned you from the start; I knew this whole marriage thing was going to do you no good but harm, " he said. "How do you think your dad feels about you right now? He doesn't even trust you anymore, and you know he isn't getting any younger." James looked down, feeling a sense of shame and guilt. He knew that he had let his father down, and it was eating away at him."I'm so confused right now, I feel empty right now," he replied, his voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know how to face him, I don't know how to look at him in the face anymore, and also Bella, they are both my only concern." Steve quickly asked, "Quick one, you said Emily's pregnancy isn't for you, right?" James nodded, feeling a sense of confusion and uncertainty."I thought the same too, Steve," he said. "I could s

James rushed home and got into the house, “Babe, Babe, Bella,” he called out.But as he entered the living room, he was shocked by who he saw waiting for him. "What's going on here? What the hell are you both doing in my house?" he asked, his voice firm and authoritative. Emily and her mother were sitting on the couch, looking like they were making themselves right at home. James' eyes narrowed as he looked at them. "Look, I have no idea of the kind of game you're trying to play but trust me, it's way too dangerous. Whatever happened, it's all in the past," he said, trying to keep his cool.But then he noticed the luggage. "Wait a minute, what's with the luggage?" he asked, his eyes scanning the room. "Is something going on that I do not know of?" Emily stood up, going to welcome James, a big smile on her face. "Hey, love, welcome back home, you know, I've been waiting for you for the longest," she said, as she tried to touch him. But James quickly avoided her, taking a step back.

Miranda was so tired as she tried to relax, she felt like something was wrong. She had been trying to calm her nerves for a while now, but she just couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off. She looked around the room, trying to distract herself, but her eyes kept drifting back to the empty space where her sister should be. She got up and walked over to Mia, who was sitting on the couch, staring at her phone. "Mia, I've been willing to ask, but something seems off to me. What's going on?" she asked, trying to keep her voice calm. "I haven't seen my sister since my return, neither is any of her belongings in the room. Don't you think it's weird?"Mia looked up, a look of concern on her face. "Don't worry, she will be back real soon," she said, trying to reassure Miranda. "Probably she's busy at work and about her belongings; she kept them somewhere, reasons best known to her." But Miranda wasn't convinced. She had a feeling that something was wrong, and she couldn't shak

"Bella, you need to calm down," she said, her voice soft and soothing. "Trust me, nothing is going to happen to her. We'll get her back, I promise."But Bella was beyond consolation. She began to cry furiously, her body shaking with sobs. "Get her back? We don't even know those men; why is all of this happening to me and the only family I have? I want my sister back, for God's sake; she just returned from the hospital after how many months, and now this? " she wailed, her voice echoing through the apartment. "I want her back now." Mia tried to comfort her, wrapping her arms around her, but Bella pushed her away. "No, no, no," she said, her voice rising. "Y

Mrs. Valerie prepared that morning, ready for the day. She walked into Emily's room, where her daughter was sitting on her bed, looking a bit down. "C’mon baby, you know you can't be like this for the rest of your life; if you're very sure he is responsible for the child and has refused to take responsibility, it's okay; I will take the responsibility. I already made a promise to myself to take care of you and the baby, okay? You both are the only thing that matters to me right now" she said, trying to sound as reassuring as possible. "So It's high time you forget about that son of a bitch that got you pregnant and let's focus on having a healthy baby." She looked up at her mother, a mixture of emotions on her face."I know, Mum; after all, I've put you through all these years, you're still standing by me; thank you so much, Mum," Emily said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm just feeling a bit overwhelmed, that's all." Mrs. Valerie sat down beside her daughter, putting a comfo

She couldn't shake off the feeling of confusion and curiosity that had been building up inside her since Steve's revelation. She had so many questions, and she didn't know where to start.

"Wait a minute, the lady you're talking about is Emily?" he said, his voice slow and deliberate.“Emily right here is the reason I'm in town, the same woman who does want me in her life and that of our unborn child, and surprisingly, she's here trying to pin my own child on another man who doesn't even want her. How pathetic can you be Emily?” He said, feeling disgusted by Emily's act.“Phi..Phil? What are you doing here? Ho..how do you both know each other? She asked as she stuttered.She stood there, her face burning with embarrassment, as she took to her heels, her mum following closely behind.

Emily was sitting on her bed, staring at her phone in frustration. Phil began disturbing her phone with calls, and she decided to pick up. “What is it? For God's sake, what do you want from me Phil?" she asked, her voice firm and annoyed. "I have told you countless times to stop calling me, we've got no business together."

We both know I am the father of the child you're carrying, so allow me to take my responsibilities."Her anger and frustration boiled over at his words. "What stupid responsibilities?" she spat. "I have told you we've got no business together and no child together whatsoever. Just leave me alone, Phil." His tone turned slightly aggressive, and Emily could sense the desperation in his voice. "Emily, don't be like this. I know we had a thing, and I know I'm the father of your child. I want to be involved in your lives, and I want to take care of you both."Emi

James didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to accept that his dad might not make it. He held his hand, talking to him, trying to keep him awake. "Dad, stay with me," he said, his voice shaking. "Please, don't leave me. I need you." Dr. Smith held his shoulder, his eyes filled with a deep sense of concern. "I think you should get your wife here, or it's too late," he said, his voice low and urgent. "It's possible he wants to say something important."

Both best friends decided to go drinking to clear their heads, sitting at the bar, drinking and chatting.James was nursing a whiskey on the rocks, while Steve was sipping on a beer. The bartender, a friendly woman with a warm smile, was polishing a glass and listening in on their conversation. James was staring into his drink, his eyes lost in thought. Steve, noticing his friend's distant expression, decided to speak up."Yo man, I think it's high time you reduce your intake of alcohol," he advised, his voice laced with concern. "It's getting too much. You're drinking every night, and it's starting to affect your daily life, you rarely come to work. I think you should give this girl a break not after everything that has happened." He looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly as he gazed at Steve. "Bro, just let me be," he said, his voice low and even. "I'll be fine. I just want to drink to clear my head off, and that's all; without her, I can't think straight; she isn't responding to m
