Trinity's Pov Pain. Excruciating pain. Horrible, horrible pain was all I was feeling as I turned from one end of the bed to the other. I could feel my insides ripping apart and with each movement came pain like I had never experienced before. As badly as I wanted it to end, it just kept going octaves higher. “No!” I yelled out as another contraction tore through me, hitting me harder than a truck would. “I don't want to do this!” My voice resonated across the room in a guttural scream that came from deep within me. I was ready to do anything to put a stop to the torture I was going through. Anything at all. Was this what labour was like? Why had I voluntarily signed up for something as terrible as this? Couldn't someone had talked me out of it? Why, just why?! Why did I have to suffer this much to win Rodri? Why had my beauty not been enough to trap him?! Why?! Gibberish kept spilling out of my mouth along with all the multiple questions that were piling up in my head. I drag
Vanessa's Pov Is this what motherhood is like? Will I get it right and not end up feeling like I have ruined my child's life? I had questions but I couldn't risk asking mum anyone even though she was seated right next to me. How could I do that when I’d successfully ruined the image of what a good mother should be for her? Finding out I was pregnant had not shaken mum as much as finding out how I got pregnant had done. If I could avoid talking about it for the rest of eternity, I would have. But the time for secrets and lies was long gone. Everything was out in the open, wasn't it best for me to give them the right version? The whole truth without any lies. My eyes slowly shifted to mum's face as tears welled up in my eyes. I couldn't forget how guilt engulfed her face when I told her the reason I hauled my ass to a club alone. She believed the only reason I ended up having a one night stand with a stranger that led to my pregnancy was because of her. And she wasn't e
Rodri's Pov I listened attentively with my hand clasped around hers as Vanessa took me on a trip down memory lane. The more I listened to her story, the more I felt bad for doubting her and even wanting to leave her. Whatever she had done, she did it because she was left with little to no choice. How could I still feel anger towards her? The woman's life had been sort of a living hell for way too long and the last thing she deserved was for a stranger to get her pregnant. Not only had the bastard taken advantage of her innocence, he had disappeared from her life. How could someone leave this kind of woman? Anger started to seep into my veins as I watched tears form a pool in her eyes. “It wasn't entirely the man's fault, Rodri,” She brought her teary eyes to rest on my rigid face. “I could have said no, I could have pushed him away or better still, resist his advances from the onset. But I did none of that, it was also my fault.” She added. “When the man caught me in
Rodri's Pov “I refuse to have this conversation with you, dad.” A sigh of exasperation followed the statement. For how long were we going to go back and forth about Trinity's child that was obviously not mine? It was becoming a pain in his spine and along with the pain came a long chain of days filled with annoyance. For one whole week, the phone calls were unending. Dad kept insisting I pay Trinity a visit at the hospital and I kept refusing to do so. I saw absolutely no reason for me to show up for a woman that was hell bent on ruining my life. Instead, I was channeling my time, attention and love towards the person who deserved it. Vanessa and our baby were still in the hospital but she was getting better with each passing day. I spoke with the doctor yesterday, and he told me they would both be discharged soon. That was the only reason I finally decided to heed my mum's words and paid my father a visit. What a wrong decision I had made. “Trust me, I am way more
Trinity's Pov The real father? Why isn't anyone paying any attention to what I have been screaming for the past ten minutes? My eyes darted to the chairman's face as Rodri kept bombarding me with questions. Was it so hard to believe me? I have been trying to get him to understand that the child had to be a Darnell, he just had to be. “Stop lying, Trinity!” Rodri's voice thundered in the room, startling me—just a little bit. I saw his mother take cautious steps towards him and place her hand gently on his. “I am sick and tired of hearing you say the same lines over and over again. Why the hell would the doctor tamper with the result?! What will he gain from doing something like that?!” As soon as Rodri drew attention to the doctor, he came into our line of sight. “Miss Trinity,” he addressed me like I was a child who he needed to be soft with. “The Chairman was very clear on the importance of this test's accuracy. My license was placed on the line also, there is n
Rodri’s POV It was so unbelievable that dad would stoop so low to sleep with Trinity, even though I was trying hard to get a grasp of the situation. Trinity actually slept with father and son? “What are you saying Angela, I have never cheated on you since our marriage, I’ve never even looked at another woman with the aim of having anything to do with them...” Dad started to defend himself, but mum wasn’t interested in whatever he was saying. She opened the door to walk out when I held her hand. She turned to me and I could see her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Just hear him out.” I whispered to her. “What is there to hear?” Mom flared, snatching her hand from me. I knew everything that was happening was my fault, if I hadn’t started anything with this bitch in the first place. If only I left with my family after seeing the results of her lies. If I didn’t start exchanging words with her and concerning myself with the father of her bastard. But it wasn’t time f
Vanessa’s POV It’s been more than two weeks since I came to this hospital and had my baby. It was high time I left here, but mom wasn’t seeing things from my perspective. She was scared something might happen to me or the baby if I left before the doctor’s approval, but my mind was made up, I would leave here today, come what may. If not because I couldn’t sneak out with my baby, I would have left here ages ago. What were they keeping me here for? Was Rodri doing this because he was scared of what his father might do if he took me to his house? Even at that, I still had mom’s house to stay. I’d seen in the movies where patients sneak out of the hospital and still survived, but I hadn’t seen anyone sneak out with her new born baby. It would have been helpful in this situation. “Vanessa, you’re being stubborn.” Mom said again. Wasn’t she tired of using the same lines over and over again? “You told me yesterday that today you’ll talk to the doctor and let me leave here
Rodri’s Pov Since mom left dad and I in Trinity’s room at the hospital for five whole days, I hadn’t set my eyes on her and it was bothering me, because where on earth could she have gone to? Mom barely had friends or people she hung out with, so it was almost always just dad and I, so I was worried because dad hadn’t seen her either. “Rodri.” Vanessa pushed me harder. “Ohh.. I’m sorry, I turned my full attention to her. “How long have you been calling me? Are you okay? Do you need anything?” I started scanning her body with my eyes. She shook her head. “I’m fine, but you’re not and I’m worried about you Rodri.” When was Vanessa ever going to stop calling me Rodri? When would she ever accept me as her lover and not just a baby daddy? I knew I set those boundaries but I didn’t want them anymore. She was more important than whatever useless boundaries I set. “I asked you a question but you were too lost to hear it even though you’re sitting next to me?” “I’m sorry bab
Vanessa’s POVRodri walked out of the bathroom with water dripping from his head down his body and I just sat in the bed and watched him clean his body with the towel.A freaking towel touching my man’s body? Parts that should exclusively belong to me.I made a mental note of getting rid of that towel as I tiptoed to where he was standing and grabbed his nipples from behind.“Babe…” he turned to me and I immediately took one nipple with my mouth and the other with my hand.Immediately his moans filled the room as he grabbed a handful of my hair in ecstasy.I raised my head to look at his face and stole my lips with his. Kissing and sucking my tongue like his life depended on it.He ripped off my transparent nightwear and started sucking my breast.I threw my head backwards, giving him full access to my body. He pushed me till my back was against the wall then he raised one of my legs up and inserted a finger inside me.“You’re wet baby… you’re wet for me.”“Ohhh.. yes.. just for you.”
Estelle’s POV “Mo, this is not the way to the hospital.” I said as Moses drove through a very unfamiliar route. “You didn’t believe me when I said we were going to the hospital to see those kids. Did you?” I gave him a questioning glare. “Come on babe, don’t you think it’s too late to go to a hospital to look for kids you don’t even know personally?” “So…” I was still glaring at him and it somehow seemed funny to him as he laughed like he just heard the joke of the century. “I’m sorry babe but I was pulling your legs.” “I thought you wanted to go to the hospital to be sure I wasn’t lying to you.” “Why will I ever doubt you?” He placed a hand on mine while still concentrating on the road. “I will never doubt you babe. I trust you and I love you.” My glare slowly turned into a little smile with puppy eyes. “Stop it Moses. It’s so cringey.” “I can’t stop loving you so you have to manage my cringiness.” “Is there any word like that in the dictionary?” I asked, la
Rodri’s POV I didn’t believe I’d feel the way I felt when I saw Benson at the hospital looking all pale and white. It was the doctor's assurance and Vanessa’s support that helped me overcome that day and the other days that followed till he became well again. “I’m ready babe.” Vanessa’s voice dragged my strayed attention. I got up and gave her a forehead kiss as we left the bedroom together. We went to Rainn’s bedroom to see him and his grandma that was always with him. “Morning mom.” Vanessa and I chorused. Vanessa turned to me and smiled, giving me a slight tickle on my waist. “You know you are the overly ticklish one and you’re looking for trouble.” I whispered in her ear and she giggled in response. Rainn chuckled too in his cradle like he could hear what I was saying to his mother. I walked to where he was, carried him and started throwing him up. His laughter filled the room giving me a kind of satisfaction I never thought I’d ever have. I gave him a ki
Estelle’s POV After that remarkable night with Moses, I woke up to my head on his firm chest and his strong arms around my body. It was the best night of my life. Though since then I’ve been wondering what we really were and if he was feeling the same way I was feeling. I could only hope I wasn’t losing myself easily again. The sound of my phone ringing dragged back my attention. And as expected, the caller was Moses. “Hello dreamboat, how is my pookie bear doing?” Typical of Moses he’s always having new cute names for me. “Mo…” I knew I sounded exhausted, but I should have controlled it because the man I was talking to would freak out. “Why are you sounding this way? Still at work? Haven’t you closed for the day? Aren’t they…” “Calm down Mo, don’t stress about it. I’m good.” “We both know you’re not.” “Well it’s because I’m mis…” I almost told him I was missing him. I heaved a sigh We weren’t officially together so I didn’t want to seem like I was despera
Vanessa’s POV “Ms Trinity Seaman, you’re found guilty of all the charges against you, therefore, you’re hereby sentenced to ten years imprisonment with hard labor.” The judge ruled the case against her and hit the gavel on the bench. I couldn’t help but notice the look of horror on Trinity’s face when the judgment was made. I saw regrets, fear and pains written all over her. I wished I could turn back the hand of time and not go to her for an abortion. But which other way would I have met Rodri? “My baby…” was the last word I could read from her lips as the prison officers dragged her out of the courtroom. Rodri’s grip tightened on my hand and I turned to see him giving me a reassuring smile. “It’s not your fault babe. You didn’t tell her to try to poison me or drug dad and try to have his child. She doesn’t deserve your pity.” I blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall off my eyes. “What about her child?” I asked him as we walked out of the courthouse. “
Trinity’s POV The entrance of the cheap driver into the interrogation room destabilized me for a split second. I thought he already confessed to Angela and her husband what we had that night and I mentioned him out of impulse, which I was already starting to regret. I didn’t want to say that but I was at a dead end, I needed to get myself off the mess I was in. Though I still couldn’t believe the results of the DNA tests Angela threw at me proved whatever she claimed. The cheapskate driver’s hands started shaking as he tried in vain to open the door and leave. “It’s him what?” Rodri scoffed. I could see the confusion on his face mirror on his parents face. But Vanessa kinda looked indifferent, like she knew what the next thing I’d say. Ugh! I hate this bitch and how highly she thinks of herself now that she has Rodri. I hate her so much that I wish she’d just fall down and die at this moment! “If the result of the DNA test says the child is not a Darnell, which I st
Rodri’s POV We got to the hospital to meet Trinity panting like she had just finished a one thousand five hundred meter race. “You!” She pointed at Vanessa as soon as she saw her. “You betrayed me, you went ahead and fell in love with him against your own words! I will make you regret it.” “Sure you will after telling us.. no, after telling the world how you got pregnant and tried to pin the bastard on my son and husband by drugging and having sex with him.” Mom threw the result of the DNA tests she did at Trinity’s face. Trinity paused momentarily then took a deep breath. “Who.. how.. you…” She was obviously flustered by mom and how her secret got exposed. “Who told me and how did I know?” Mom fired at her. The door opened and two police officers walked in. “Miss Trinity Seaman, you are under arrest for…” “You can’t arrest me…” “I’ll advise you to remain silent for anything you say might be used against you in the court of law. “What about my son, what would becom
Rodri’s POV “I’m coming with you.” Vanessa said as she entered the bathroom after I came out. I would have stubbornly gone to see mom last night after dads call if not for the unexpected rain that showed up suddenly and Vanessa used the opportunity she had to give me a good blow job that if not for much self control, I would have fucked her silly. I saw my face turning red in the mirror. I wasn’t a baby and it wasn’t even the first time I was given a blow job and truth be told, it wasn’t the best I’d ever had but somehow I found myself blushing at the thought of it. “And why is your face red?” I didn’t need to turn to know it was Vanessa. And she was in her birthday suit. The fuck was going on in her silly mind? She didn’t even look like someone that just delivered a child, if not for the little scar on her stomach, no one would know she was ever pregnant. “You’re beautiful...” I heard myself say without my knowledge. She came to me, stole a kiss an
Estelle’s POVAfter Vanessa ran off, I laughed inwardly because I didn’t want Moses to know that I was happy being alone with him, even though I was mad at him.I knew what Vanessa did, she wanted me to settle things quickly with Moses because if this misunderstanding lingers, it could cost us a chance at a beautiful relationship I was hoping to have with him.Still, I told myself to remind myself that I was going to kill Vanessa the next time I saw her for being a traitor and a betrayer.“I like her.” He said, as he started driving again.“Why won’t you?” I rolled my eyes. “…when she’s on your side.”“Just know that I love anything and anyone you love.”I scoffed. What in the name of cheesiness?“Doesn’t matter, I won’t forgive you for lying to me.”He drove to one side of the road and pulled over. Brought out his phone from his pocket and started searching for whatever while I watched him like he was acting out a scene in a movie.“Yes! This is it!” He sounded and looked enthusiasti
