VANESSA'S POV.I was taking my mandatory evening walk with Samira when my phone rang, I checked the caller ID and saw that it was Estelle. "Vanessa, Vanessa I need you, I need help," she cried over the phone."Calm down Estelle, what's going on?" I asked confused."It's Brandon Vanessa, Brandon is cheating on me." she replied."Calm down please. Where are you?" "The playground not far from my place." she said amidst sniffles."I'll be there in a few minutes." I replied before hanging up the call."Where are you going to?" Samira asked."My best friend needs me right now and I have to be there for her." I responded."But you know you're not supposed to go out this late in the evening," "So what am I supposed to do, cross my legs here while she cries herself to death?""I'll come with you then," she offered."Thank you but no, she is going through a lot now and is not in her right State of mind, so the Last thing she needs right now is a strange face." I replied.She hesitated a bit
RODRI'S POV.I sat in my office buried in reading and signing of paperworks when my secretary rang my landline. "Sir the event planner you asked for is here already," her voice rang at the end of the line."Okay let the person in," I responded.I had asked that she help me get an event planner, I was planning a big surprise engagement for Vanessa, yes I wanted to cuff her.Since the other day at the hospital when we confirmed that it was her interaction with Mom that made her react, I felt a certain assurance that she was the one for me. Apparently she likened my mother to a rose waiting patiently to bloom in her book.The event planner walked in and to my surprise it was a man, I had always thought women did a better job at planning events because they had a thing for gatherings."Good afternoon sir." He greeted, as he came into the office."Good afternoon have a seat," I said pointing to one of the seats in Front Of my table."Thank you," he said while taking a seat."So, I have a
MORIAH'S POV.I got out of bed late since it was a Saturday morning, my alarm got broken the other day and I keep forgetting to replace it with a new one.The bright rays of the sun light seeped into the room through the open windows illuminating the room, I walked around a bit stretching and yawning loudly.I went into my bathroom and took my time to have a nice long bath, after taking my bath I went back into the room with my towel on, I had all the time on my hands Afterall.Sitting there on my bed, I started reminiscing on those days when my day started with fixing breakfast for my baby Vanessa. I couldn't believe she had grown up so fast, it felt just like yesterday when I would help her sit on the chair in the kitchen while she eats her breakfast before leaving for school.Now, not only was she grown up, but also expecting a baby for such a fine gentleman. I flicked the teardrops the escaped the side of my eyes with my fingers, she had really proven to be stronger than I thought
RODRI'S POV.After a long day at work, I finally packed up and headed out of the building to my car, I had intentionally worked extra hours to slim down the possibility of bumping into Vanessa when I got home.As I approached my car I felt like I was being followed from behind so I stood in front of my car door and watched as a male figure approached me from the reflection on my window shield, seeing that he had gotten pretty close I turned to face him outrightly."Who are you?" I asked sharply."Hey don't get all worked up man," said the strange man."I don't have all the time on earth, so get straight to the point and tell me who you are.""Ooh, I see time is money huh and they say you have a lot of it," he said with a grin"Be clear with your words.""You say you don't have time but I know you've got a ton load of money." he said "I'll take that as a compliment, now if you'll excuse me I need to be on my way," I said and made to open my car door but he immediately stopped me by pl
VANESSA'S POV.I laid on my bed staring at the text message Trinity sent to me again, it readI hope you're still sticking to the plan dear Vanessa, even though you've not been answering my phone calls or replying my text messages. I want to reassure you that we are on the same team, don't even try to do anything funny, else I will see to it that your life takes a turn downhill, you'll find yourself destroyed faster than you ever imagined, with love from Trinity.I had to do something about this, the treaths from Trinity had become incessant and from the tone I could tell that she meant every of her words.I went to the kitchen to get myself a cup of water, sitting there at the kitchen table I thought about my options, I could leave but I knew very well that Rodri would find me no matter where I went to.I thought about talking things out with Trinity but I doubted if she would listen to me, then I realised I was left with no other option than to tell Rodri the truth myself before he
RODRI'S POV.I watched as she slowly drifted to sleep, she was as beautiful as ever, even though she had added a bit of weight. I wondered how she managed to keep her skin glowing and flawless. I had heard about how pregnant women got so many blemishes on their faces as a result of their pregnancy, but the same couldn't be said about Vanessa.After a few moments of watching her sleep, I also drifted off to to a peaceful sleep.Rudely awakened by a rather loud notification tone from Vanessa's phone. I quickly shot up and grabbed the phone, lowering the volume, so it wouldn't wake her up, luckily she seemed to be quite deep in her sleep as she didn't even move.I sighed in relief then her phone buzzed again, a message popped up and it was from her mother, and it said; "thank you honey I sent the money to him already, let's hope this would be the last time, I'm sorry I had to drag you into this."I began to wonder what her mother was talking about, who was the "him", and what were they p
VANESSA'S POV.I was trying to get some sleep when I heard my phone blaring, I lazily stretched out to get the phone, it was my Mom calling."Good morning Mom," "Morning Vanessa, how are you doing?" "I'm fine Mom, I hope everything is alright.""Yes honey, I wanted to tell you about this new recipe I worked on, actually it's not really new it just went through a lot of modifications and improvements." Mom said exictedly."Okay Mom,""So will you and Rodri come to try some?""Rodri has been quite busy with work lately, I doubt if he would be able to come." "You?" She asked."Of course Mom, I'll come, you know I wouldn't miss your delicious pastries for anything in the world"Okay honey I will be expecting you," Mom said before hanging up the call.I honestly wished I didn't have to go out, I wished it was one of those outings I could just opt out of with "I'm feeling tired," or "I'm feeling a bit too lazy," but no this was my Mom and to be honest I had also missed her a lot.I took
RODRI'S POV.It was a hectic day, especially with the business expansion going on in Taiwan. I sat back in my chair trying to review the expenses the company had incured, all looked normal to me, although I hadn't looked into it deeply like I would like to.I glanced at my wristwatch and it was almost 4 o' clock already, I had a zoom meeting to attend by 5 o' clock, I was torn between the idea of going home for the meeting or waiting behind at the office to attend the meeting.Vanessa had been bugging me for some time and it was because of my late home coming, I smiled at the thought she was starting to behave like a wife.I couldn't tell if it was her pregnancy hormones kicking in or the fact that she was about to become a mother but I was utterly grateful to whatever it was.The blaring of the landline on my table abruptly interupted my thoughts and jolted me back to reality."Boss there's a man causing a scene outside," my secretary said on the other end of the phone."What? Come
