Vanessa’s POVI felt a bit elated when Rodri’s phone started ringing and better when he excused himself to take the call, even though I was not supposed to. I was dying to tell him the truth and at the same time, fighting it, because of what it might result to.And it was becoming harder by the day, because whenever I tried to talk about it, something always came up to stop me. But I was more than ready to go against all odds, because it would be worse if he heard it from Trinity.Rodri Darnell deserved better. He deserved an honest woman who wasn’t deceiving him with a bastard child. I wish he didn’t change the way he was to me when I first came. I wish he was still cold and cruel, bringing home different women. I wish his father hadn’t accepted me and showered me with unconditional love."Are you alright, Vanessa?" Rodri's voice cut through my thoughts, drawing my attention towards him. I nodded slightly, struggling to pry my mind off what was going on within me and focus on the man
RODRI'S POVGoing to the supermarket was a great idea, it was the perfect way to get Vanessa back in good spirits after what had happened a while ago.I wanted to rest after a long day at work and the unending zoom meeting at home, but Vanessa was top priority. So I decided to go shopping with her but with the happenings at the office, I had to make a pitstop first."I'll have to stop at the office first," I said to Vanessa as I led her to the Lambo, collecting the key from the driver who was ready to drive us where we needed to go. "There's an emergency at the office and I have to be there, but it won't take long, okay?" She nodded slightly as I strapped her in the car, she deliberately avoided any form of eye contact. It felt strange to me that she was suddenly refusing to look at me but I couldn't exactly blame her. Not long ago, she had tried to get my attention after I had successfully avoided her for a while and it had almost cost her the pregnancy. It was totally understandabl
VANESSA'S POVAs soon as Rodri got out of the car, I exhaled sharply not even realizing I had been holding my breath. All the way to the office, I had struggled to get Trinity's message out of my head but my anxiety was spiking faster than I could control.Something about this threat made me feel terribly uneasy and the fact that I couldn’t bring myself to confess to him wasn't helping at all. Breathe, Vanessa, I said to myself, trying to calm my nerves. Getting myself worked up was not good for the baby at all but getting myself to calm down wasn't also an easy task to perform.Thinking of a way to get Trinity out of my head, I picked up my phone from my thighs and decided to call Estelle. Ever since the evening I had rushed to her because she found out about Brandon's secret affair, I barely reached out to her. It wasn't like it didn't care about my best friend, I had just been preoccupied with Rodri and the baby."Hi, Nessa," Estelle's voice sounded out the receiver as soon as the
TRINITY'S POV The operator you're trying to reach is currently unavailable, please try again later or wait after the beep to leave a message… "Pick up the damn call!" I yelled as I threw the phone across the room, boiling with rage at the words that had been flowing repeatedly out of it. How could someone like Vanessa block my calls? What gave that mouse the audacity to do such a thing to me? I could remember vividly how small and timid she had looked, sitting in my office, asking for me to get rid of her bastard child. Her eyes had not been able to meet mine and she had fidgeted so terribly it had irritated me to watch. She had been such a pitiful sight but now, all that has changed? From dressing and living like a church mouse, having not a single penny to her name, now, she had been spoiled with so much wealth by Rodri and his family all because of me. I had given her the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance to make her worthless life become something useful but what had
Rodri Getting those chocolates was a very great idea because for the first time today, I saw Vanessa's face lit up with a genuine smile. I had always made sure to check in with her cook, Lora and even Samira, the smile on her beautiful face was the reward for my attentiveness. "Should we head to the supermarket now?" I asked as I strapped in my seatbelt while also making sure Vanessa's seatbelt was well arranged on her stomach the way Samira had taught me to place it. It was vital to keep the belt just a little bit above her abdomen, so as to avoid any form of restrictions to the baby's movements or air supply. Vanessa gave a slight nod and plastered a small smile on her face as she fidgeted with the cute packaging that had come with the chocolate. I noticed she had kept her phone between her thighs and for some unknown reason, it gave me some relief. She had been staring way too much at the phone, it was good she had momentarily abandoned it. Once again, I found myself wonde
VANESSA'S POV "What?!" Instinctively, my hand went to my stomach as I woke up with a start, drenched in sweat. My eyes darted around the car, trying to remember where I was and as soon as it came rushing back to me, I shifted my attention to Rodri, scared something had happened to him. "Are you fucking serious right now?!" He screamed again, gripping the wheel so hard I saw his knuckles go pale. Who was he talking to that was making him react this way? I leaned forward, trying to listen in on the conversation but then I noticed he had his earphones plugged in. He was quiet for a while, probably listening to what the other person had to say and then suddenly, he let out an exasperated sigh before turning around to look at me. The moments our eyes met, he stopped short, surprise masking his features. "Did I wake you up?" He mumbled, looking apologetic. I gave him a small smile that was accompanied with a quick shake of my head. "Make sure you stay alert, Brianna and call m
Vanessa’s POV I noticed my hands were sweaty as Rodri led me out of the supermarket, heading towards the car as the guards followed closely by, hauling the gigantic bags of baby items we had finally bought. I just wanted to pick a few things but Rodri had decided against it, choosing five of every item I had written on my list. Since we had no idea about the gender of the baby, he had insisted we get everything in both pink and blue and in large numbers also. Mum had suggested we settle on unisex clothes but Rodri hadn't welcomed the idea at all. "A billionaire’s child should feel like a billionaire, shouldn't he?" Rodri had asked me when I brought the suggestion to him and without waiting for my response, he had gone ahead to tell the shop attendant to increase the number of items from the two pairs we had initially agreed on. At the end of our shopping spree, we had ended up buying more than half the children's section and as expensive as it must have been, Rodri had unwave
Rodri’s POV "Tell Rodri to get the both of you over here right now, his mum just woke up!" I had heard him clearly, but it seemed like I was in a trance and everything else around me wasn't real. My mind started to doubt the information that had been passed through my ears into my brain. "What?" Vanessa's voice was merely a whisper as we sat in the same position, shock written all over our faces. "What did you say?" She asked quietly, confirming I was not the only one who was finding it out to believe what we had both clearly heard. Could it be our minds playing a trick on us? "Didn't you hear what I just said?" My dad's voice boomed out the speaker, sounding impatient and heavily breathless. "Call Rodri to get the car ready, so the both of you can get here as quickly as possible!" He barked out the command before the call disconnected. "Rodri," Vanessa motioned to me as she gently removed her leg from my hold. "Let's go see your mom." Slowly, it started to come to me. My brai
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
