VANESSA'S POV.

I sat there holding my Mom while she poured out her heart in both her words and her tears.

"I know you didn't want to have anything to do with men because of what you witnessed between your dad and I, I'm sorry I didn't stand up for myself, I'm sorry I wasn't a good example to you Vanessa." she said amidst tears.

"It's okay Mom, you've been a strong woman and that alone is more than enough for me." I said fighting back the tears that treathened to burst out anytime.

After some minutes of intense emotions, Mom finally stopped crying, I pulled out my handkerchief and wiped off her tears. I couldn't bear to see her cry, Afterall I was doing this because of her.

Rodri was quiet the whole time and I could just imagine the thoughts and questions that were running through his head.

My mom finally turned to him with a smile, "thank you for coming here, you don't know how much it means to me that you deemed it fit."

"It's nothing ma'am, I just felt the need to meet you I perso

    VANESSA'S POV.Whilst on the way home I couldn't help but think about what just happened, Mom had made so much progress and was doing so well, I was scared of how she would react when she met Rodri, but she proved me wrong. I was still deep in my thoughts when Rodri's voice brought me back to reality."That was fun wasn't it?" Rodri said with a broad smile."Yeah it was, I have to admit she's doing better than I expected." I confessed."Your Mom is such a nice woman, spending time with her reminds me of my Mom. I just hope she wakes up soon," he said with a sigh."Yes she is, I can't wait to meet your Mom when she's wakes up." "You mentioned something about your Mom not being in the right state to meet anyone this morning, but now that I've met her I can say otherwise." "Yes, she's fighting depression and it was rough. You see, my dad used to abuse her in every way for as long as I could remember," I said with a sigh."Jeez I'm sorry, that must have been tough.""Yeah it was, someti

    ESTELLE'S POV. I was sitting in my living room when I heard a knock at the door. I knew it was Brandon coming to visit, so I quickly got up to answer it. When I opened the door, I was met with a stern-looking Brandon. "Hey," I said, trying to keep the mood light. "Hey," he said back, his voice tense. I could tell immediately that something was off. I invited him in and we sat down on the couch. "What's wrong?" I asked, looking into his eyes. He sighed. "It's about the flash drive . I need it for a project and I can't find it anywhere. I think you might have misplaced it." I felt a wave of guilt wash over me. I had been so busy with work that I hadn't taken the time to organize things. "I'm so sorry," I said. "I'll try to look for it now. I'm sure I can find it." I got up and started searching around the house, but I couldn't find it. Brandon just sat there, looking increasingly frustrated.

Few weeks before I entered my third trimester, the exercises intensified a bit.With each passing day my belly grew bigger, an evidence of the life that was growing inside of me, sometimes I would stand in front of my mirror just to check out the baby bump.I can't forget Rodri's words one time when he walked in on me checking out my bump in the mirror."You look a bit inflated, more like a balloon but in a cute way," he said trying to stifle his laughter.My eyes narrowed as I stared at him, "there are other cute things apart from balloons." I complained, rolling my eyeballs."Like what?" "Ummmm... I don't know." "You look beautiful regardless," he said with a smile before planting a kiss on my forehead."Thank you." I muttered, making a cute face."So have you prepared your baby shopping list?" He asked."No, I'm still in the process." I answered.We agreed no

    ESTELLE'S POV.I collapsed into my couch as I just returned from work, it was a long tiring day and the worst part was that I had to miss Brandon's favourite stand up comedy show.He told me two days ago that he bought two tickets to the show for us to have a firsthand experience of the show we usually just binge the show online. But this time he wanted us to have it as a date, unfortunately I had a terrible work load at the office, so I called him to cancel and reschedule for the next one, but he told me he would attend anyways.I relaxed on my couch thinking about what to fix for myself since I was famished, and I wasn't in the mood to order takeouts, so got into my kitchen and fixed myself a bowl of cereal since it was bound to be better in taste and nutrition than anything I'd prepare at the moment.I glanced at the time and saw that the comedy show should still be airing, so I went into my bedroom to grab my laptop , I went online and started steaming the live show.I found mysel

    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.
