Rodri’s POV

As soon as I got to the hospital, I tried to open the car door, but my hands were shaking profusely. This was a very bad omen, I’ve never been the one to believe in omens, but this thing happening to me right now was scary.

“Dear God please don’t let her die… and protect our baby too.” I said a prayer for the first time since the accident I had with my mom.

Speaking of the accident, this was exactly how I felt on the day of the accident. The mere thought of that sent chills running down my spine.

The door opened and I saw Richard, the driver that drove me here standing by the door. “Thank you.” I said and stepped out.

“Hello handsome, can I get a moment?” A lady standing on my way asked.

I snubbed her, without bothering to know who she was. I had better things to worry my head over than some cheap sluts throwing themselves at men.

“Rodri Darnell, can I have a word with you?” The lady rushed to my front and held my hand.

I looked at her face and realized

    Rodri’s POV Father soon got to the hospital and came to me in the room I was sitting helplessly, “father.” I called him as relief washed over me.” Only to see that mom was with him. “Why did you come with mom, she’s not strong enough.” I complained. “Says who?” Mom asked. As she pulled me into her arms and crushed me in her warm embrace. This was why I missed my mother those years she was in coma, her support was next to none. “Who are you young lady?” Father’s voice brought me back to reality, as he questioned Vanessa’s friend. “I… I…” She stuttered with a confused look on her face. “She’s Vanessa’s best friend, I met her here with Vanessa.” I replied on her behalf. “Her friend..” father dragged the last part and sighed, while Vanessa’s friend nodded in response. “Please sit father.” I touched the empty bed, “and you too mother.” I helped her sit. “For how long have you known? You?” Father asked her. “I… she…” she stuttered in confusion. “I met Vanessa telling

    Trinity's Pov As badly as I wanted to get a front view of the action, there wasn't much I could do. Not only was I currently not an active nurse at the hospital, I was most likely on Rodri's wanted list. I couldn't risk exposure just because my anxiety was spiking. The two nurses that had gotten off the elevator with me, quickly scampered off towards the room. Let her be dead, lord, I quickly said a quick prayer in my head. Vanessa's death would do me way too much good with the obvious crisis I was in. My excitement soon gave way for confusion. I heard footsteps rushing towards where we were and as I had expected, I saw two doctors emerge in a hasty manner. Another nurse rushed after them with a stretcher and a few minutes later, Vanessa was wheeled into the hallway. “She's in labor.” I mumbled to myself as a sigh of exasperation flowed out of my lips. Why was she in labor now of all times? Rodri would be hesitant in punishing her and there was a chance he would end up forgiv

    Trinity's Pov The drive back to my place didn't take up as much energy as sneaking out of the hospital took from me. With Rodri all over the internet because of his altercation with Blossom earlier in the day, almost every spot in the hospital was packed to the brim with gossip mongers and reporters. Different nurses in different stations gathered around themselves to discuss a topic that was now a rage in the entire country. The main question on everyone's lips was plain but very inquisitive and accusative. How did Rodri not know he was being played for nine whole months? How could he? I had been the mastermind behind the entire thing and one thing I made sure to take care of were loose ends. Well, that was if I had decided to ignore Blossom’s stupid existence and shove her to the back of my mind. That spoiled princess had become one terrible loose end. But pushing everything aside, I told myself to focus on the positives and not the obvious negatives. So, what if everythi

    Rodri's Pov “What do you mean we lost two investors?! How is that possible?! And in so little time?!” I could feel my blood boiling as I rode the elevator to my office at the top of my corporate building. My assistant kept her eyes steady on the pile of documents in her hands and very far away from my obviously angry face. “Talk to me!” I yelled at her, ignoring the horrid look that she momentarily shot my way. The air in the elevator felt like it was sizzling just like my whole body was. I wanted an explanation, no, I needed an explanation. Things couldn't have possibly gotten this bad in just three days. Was Blossom that influential? Was my life a hot mess already? The two days that had followed Blossom’s reveal had been filled with torture. From running away from multiple reporters, I had finally made it to work to find out my company had lost over a million dollar worth of stock. Not even the recovery of the previously stolen money had helped to keep us afloat. Not on

    Estelle's Pov Oh, my back hurts so much, I grumbled inwardly as I made a fruitless attempt to perform the job of a chiropractor. I heard a small crack but it didn’t do much to help the fact that my back was very much sore from all the bending over I had been putting it through. But I couldn't complain outwardly. Even though my entire body was screaming for me to rest, it was something I couldn't do. Not while Vanessa was still unable to take care of her child or even herself. She had not even opened her eyes for the past two days and I was scared out of my wits. A lot of things had happened after Vanessa's childbirth including the DNA test that had been carried out on the baby. The results weren't out yet and I dreaded every moment we had to wait before its arrival. I was even more anxious than Rodri was. Or rather, than he was pretending to not be. Even though I had ran into him a few times at the neonatal ICU, I was told he had been frequenting the ward to see the child. He

    Vanessa's Pov “I am only here because you're forcing me to be, don't ask for more than I am capable or even willing to give.” Rodri? The voice sounded like it had come from a distance but I was certain it was Rodri's. Was he here? My eyes slowly fluttered open as I took in the view of where I was. Bright lights, white walls, machines… I am in the hospital! I blinked rapidly to clear my vision and allowed my eyes to scan my surroundings. Estelle's worried face came into view and so did my mother but Rodri was nowhere to be found. Had I dreamt of him being around? Was I still sleeping? I closed my eyes again for a few seconds then pried them open once more. Mum quickly rushed to my side and so did Estelle. “How are you feeling, baby?” She asked with tears brimming over in her eyes. I leaned into the palm she placed on my cheek and let out a sigh that seemed to resonate from the depths of my soul. “Are you feeling any pains?” I nodded stiffly. My body felt sore and my inside

    Trinity's Pov My greasy hair was the main thing that gave away the fact that I had not sunk my body in my hot tub for four days. Without my essentials, I couldn't possibly wash my hair even though I craved doing so more than anything. Being in hiding was proving to be a bigger hassle than I thought. Four days ago, I had snuck out of the hospital after watching Blossom expose not only Vanessa but me to both Rodri and the entire world. Vanessa had gone into labor and given birth to a little bastard while I had dragged my tired body back to my house only to find out Samira had bailed out on me. As if things couldn't get any worse, Vanessa's deadbeat father had called to scare the living daylight out of me. Now, I was stuck in a low class hotel, at a strange location, with no products to wash my hair. It felt like I had been moved to a different section of hell and I was close to my limit. A knock sounded on the door, claiming my attention. “Room service!” The person called ou

    Rodri's Pov Never have I ever wanted to bash someone's head beyond repair as badly as I wanted to do to dad's assistant. Release Trinity?! That was such an absurd thing to say but most importantly, why was I hearing him say the child in Trinity's womb was the heir to Darnell’s fortune? “What the hell do you think you're doing, Stanley?!” I barked at the man with fire blazing in my eyes. He cast me an unbothered glance then moved his attention back to the officers. “I just asked you a question, Stanley.” I moved closer to him then added through gritted teeth. “What the hell are you doing?” Stanley lifted himself into a very upright position then adjusted the front of his coffee colored suit. “Exactly what the Chairman asked me to do.” Was the response he gave me with an air of arrogance. Dad gave such an order? Why would he make such an order without consulting me first? It made no sense to me at all. The thought had barely materialized in my head when Dad walked into the s

    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

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.
