Justin POV’sI stood there, anticipating a response from her. She stood there, staring at me like I had lost my mind.“Answer me. Talk to me. Who is the father of the child?” I probed further.“Why would you ask me such question?” She questioned. Her confidence was on another level and it had begun to piss me off. Was she really saying the truth or was she trying to play smart with me? Of course, there is possibly no way something like that could happen. Of course, was she really trying to act like… there was possibly no way she could try to play smart with me.I began to feel very bad as I hoped and wished it would indeed be the truth. I really wished she was right as I did not want to bow to my Mother and believed what my mother was saying. I didn’t want mother to rejoice in victory and have control over me. I knew I had to do something.“I guess I should leave right now. Perhaps, my presence had begun to disturb you. I can tell you do not want me here.” She turned to leave but I he
Zena POv’sI was hurt and disappointed in the fact that I was in there, patiently waiting for Justin to return so we could eat and he on the other hand was listening to hearsay about the child and what other people thought. I was a little hurt and disappointed in the fact that he really didn’t believe me.I was filled with disappointment at the fact that he really thought of me in such a condescending manner. There was no need staying anymore and trying to convince him anymore that the child was his. Of course, I would not restrict his access to the unborn child when I give birth. Even if he carries out a paternity test and discovers the child is his.Although I had no where in particular to go, I knew I was going to figure out something. There was possibly no way I was going to be stranded that night. Even if I was going to be, it would be better than spending one more night with you and be disrespected or looked down upon therefore I hastened up. He tried so hard to convince me bu
Justin POV’sI shook my head as I tried so hard to stop myself from saying anymore word. I did not seem to understand what I was doing at that minute. She arched her brows as she waited patiently to hear what I had to say.“Because I do not want you to get hurt. I want you to be fine as well. “ I answered almost immediately and she sighed. She seemed so relieved as though she had expected something else. I was quiet for a while as I stared at her. She had a smile on her face as she looked up at me.“I am very sorry if it seems I am concerned about myself alone. I am not just concerned about our child but your well-being. I want you to be fine as well so you do not have to worry about anything” I answered and placed a kiss on her forehead.“Alright then. I will microwave out meal cause I know it must be really really cold right now” She informed me and held my hands. I nodded, a fake smile etched to his face as I was indeed starving. I was indeed glad about the fact that I had confirme
Justin Pov’s“Hey, are you okay?” I suddenly felt a hand push me. I looked up immediately to realize it was Zena. Shock was boldly written all over her face as she stared at me. I knew I had acted weird again..“Wh..wh…”“You had a cal coming through but you didn’t pick it up!”“Oh” I took the phone and checked it again. Of course, it was her. It was Alicia. I got to realize that minute that I hadn’t actually picked up the call… or had I? I checked my history quickly and realized I had indeed missed the call.“You zoned out again. Is something wrong?” She stretched her hand to me and held my hands. “I know I am not in the right position to tell you or anything or try to find out anything that is going on with you and you might not see me as a worthy person to talk to but you can confide in me and….”“Hold on” I responded and headed for the door. I ensured to check to see if there was anyone out there but there wasn’t. Perhaps, it was my imagination?I shrugged and returned to join her
Justin pov’sI was shocked at the sudden sound I heard. It was the last thing I had expected to hear. A thousand thoughts crossed my mind all at the same time as I had not expected to hear the sound. I turned to look at the direction where the sound came from and it was…. Zena on the floor.A gasp escaped my lips as I looked at Zena's lifeless body on the floor.“It is all pretense. Let her be” Mum spoke. I was shocked at the level of carelessness mum felt towards the young lady and it got me wondering how she was considered to be worthy of being my mother.I ignored Mum’s suggestion and hurriedly ran to get her up. Worry and fear gripped my heart. Had she had a miscarriage? Was something wrong with her? I was scared and my whole body was paralyzed with fear but I managed to carry her out and took her to the car before getting my keys.Mum on the other hand had a frown etched to her face as she stared at us both. She didn’t seem bothered by any bit as she watched me carry her out.“Lo
Zena POV’sI fluttered my eyelids open quickly. I shut it again and opened it almost immediately as I wanted to be sure I was seeing right and of course, I was. An hospital? What was I doing there and how had I gotten there?I tried to stand up but I felt so weak and exhausted. “What had happened to me?” I asked no one in particular, not until I suddenly remembered what had happened.A sigh escaped my lips. I had collapsed. Watching the young man and his mum argue because of me was nothing I wanted to see. I had gotten tired of waiting for all they had to say until I couldn’t wait any longer and I collapsed.A sigh escaped my lips once again and I placed my hand on my head. I was feeling weak and exhausted as my stomach grumbled in hunger. I was very hungry and exhausted. I had not had my bath at all.Where could Justin had gone? Why had he left me here all alone? Had he left me because of his mum or…. Had he abandoned me?I tried to get rid of the drip that had been plastered on my h
Justin POV’sI fluttered my eyelids open almost immediately and tried to understand what was going on. My head began to ache almost immediately and it made me a bit confused. Where was I?I tried to stand up as I wondered how I had gotten to my room. How had I gotten into my room, that too, my bed? Zena! My mind suddenly travelled to her and I realized she could as still in the hospital. How I ad slept off? It was already night time and I knew she would have been so worried.My phone!I tried to get up and take the phone but I… couldn’t. What was going on? It was at that moment that I got to know that I… had been handcuffed? How had that happened? Confusion was an understatement to describe how I felt that very minute.What on earth was going on?I tried to break free but it was just too difficult for me to escape. I looked at the environment to be sure I was at home and yes, I was! then could have gotten into my home and pulled such stupid tricks on me?“Is anybody here? Who is in?!”
Justin POV’sAlmost immediately, my mum released me and gave me the suit she had gotten out for me. As soon as I was free, I hurriedly stepped out of the room the moment She allowed me to go out.She chuckled as she saw me, running out.She didn’t try to stop me and it got me a little worried. Why exactly was she acting that way? I wasn’t bothered anyway as I ran out as fast as I could and headed to the car but I was shocked when I suddenly got to the door. No wonder she was so comfortable with me going out and did not want to try to stop me.“You do not have to worry, son. She is long gone” Mum informed and she chuckled. I hated the fact that she was just being too comfortable in my home and acting that way towards me. How could she lock the door? How could she lock me up in my own house?“What exactly do you want, mum? Haven’t you wrecked me enough? Why are you treating me so badly and why are you hell bent on making me miserable?” I questioned as I was already tired and exhausted
Justin’s POV“You mean she will be up in a couple of days?” I asked the doctor to make sure I heard him right.“Yes. The bullet pierced her upper arm and the wound was very deep but fortunately no vital organ was touched but when she fell, she hit her head so hard I think it resulted in serious concussion. The head injury is more the one keeping her unconscious than the actual bullet injury coupled with the fact that she lost a lot of blood. But I am sure she will be fine” He explained further, each of his words lifting the worry from my heart. At least I won’t live with the guilt that she was killed because of me.When the nurse told me they would be out soon from earlier, she actually was telling nothing but the truth because just a few minutes after I sat down, the door sprang open and the two doctors and three nurses that were in there trying to save her life all sprang out.When they first assured me that she would be fine I didn’t believe one but seeing as they all looked bloody
Justin’s POVI was going to her the best ring around here, the richest and from the most expensive store that was around here.This was the first time I would be proposing to someone so it had to be worth it, every moment of it. I had an usual feeling lingering around.What if she didn’t want to get married?We now had a baby we were expecting, she would want me this time around.I walked into the store as I was approached by a slim, modest woman.“How may I help you?” She asked with a bold smile on her face.“I would like to get a ring.” I said calmly.“Gold, Silver or Diamond?” She said heading into the store aas I followed her.“Your lost expensive Diamond ring would be okay.” I said plainly as she turned immediately to look at me.She scorched from head to toe before she continued.“Are you sure you want the most expensive one?” She asked again to be sure she heard what I said.“Yes, show it to me.” I Said plainly as she immediately led me to a various set of rings.I picked a sma
Justin’s POVMy mum looked around and she looked shocked to see the mysterious man too.I stared keenly at him and then at my mom as shock was evident in her look.Yet looking unbothered I motioned for him to sit down infront of me.I couldn’t take my eyes off him as my mum was seated right beside him.The man looked so much like me, that if he person hasn't met with me before, he would actually think that I and the man were related, that's how much we looked alike."Mom who is he?" I proceeded to ask my mother who he was, not only that Zena was not in the room, I could swear that I head her voice, but she was no where here, I shoved off that thought thinking Maybe that it was my imagination, I have probably missed her too much." Jason what are you doing here?" My mom asked in surprise and she stood up from her chair the moment she saw me standing there."I thought I told you not to leave the house?" She questioned, as He groaned I'm frustration, how long will this continue, they jus
Justin POV’s“Are you okay?” I asked Zena as she looked so tired. “I honestly don't know, I have been feeling excessively weak,” she complained. “You need a check-up, I will call the doctor,” I told her as I got up to call. A few hours later, the doctor was around as he checked Zena’s vitals. “Congratulations, with what I am seeing here. She must have taken in.” The doctor said with a smile. “Are you for real?!” I asked excitedly. “Here, take this kit. You know what to do,” he said as she handed two pregnancy kits to Zena. She walked anxiously away as I paced around the room. “Let it be positive!” I prayed silently. A few moments later, she was back with a sullen face. “I am sorry, we are expecting a baby!” She said as she jumped on me happily. I hugged her tightly before placing several kisses on her. “Congratulations, I think I should leave you two. But you need to visit the hospital.” He said before walking away. “Thank you so much baby, I promise I am going to take very goo
Zena POVJustin's hands hovered around my back as he zipped my dress. His hands lingered longer than usual as I rolled my eyes at him. “We might not end up making it to our dinner if you continue,” I said in a rasped voice as he placed kisses on my neck. Justin had asked me on a date and here we were, making out in our bedroom. He placed his lips on mine and we continued to kiss for a long time before we stopped to catch our breath.“Hmm,” I hummed as he kissed my ear lobe. His hands made their way to the hem of my dress as he raised it all to my thighs. His fingers brushed my pants as I held my stomach in pleasure. “Just fucking do it!” I muttered as he continued teasing me. His finger slipped into my vagina as he started with a finger. “Fuck!” I muttered as he kissed me. He added another finger and worked his magic before I finally cum. “Quickly get dressed, we still have dinner!” he said before licking the sticky content on his finger. I cleaned up before reapplying my makeup
Zena’s POVI had been feeling unusually fatigued and dizzy for several weeks, unable to shake off the persistent discomfort. At first, I dismissed it as stress from work and the daily demands of life, attributing my symptoms to the usual ups and downs that everyone experiences. But Justin, ever observant, had noticed the subtle change in my demeanor—the way I sometimes held my abdomen as if it pained me, and my reluctance to savor my favorite foods. His concern for my well-being had grown steadily, and he urged me to see a doctor. However, being the fiercely independent and stubborn person I was, I resisted his pleas, assuring him that it was nothing to worry about.Then, that one fateful morning, everything changed. I struggled to get out of bed, feeling an inexplicable heaviness in my chest, as if an invisible weight bore down on me. I managed to make my way to the kitchen, attempting to prepare breakfast, but the room began to spin, and a relentless wave of nausea washed over me. C
Zena’s POVWe were at Sean’s mansion and I was so excited that frugally everything would be back to normal.I was back with Justin, the company was now doing well and Ralph was not in prison and would spend a term of two years,At least that was enough time for us to get the peace we deserved after a lot of problems and obstacles in the way.“What would you like to drink?” She asked with a very broad smile on her face.It was true that people do change, she had changed so much just in the time span of a year. She became more affectionate and I never thought I would ever see this side of her.She was patient and for as long as I can remember, this past few weeks she had nothing but bright smiles plastered on her face.“Oh nothing, I’m okay.” I said calmly rejecting the offer.I wasn’t feeling thirsty or hungry ever since the turning exercise I and Justin had been endukging ourselves in for the past month.He always wanted a new part of me every single day and it became a normal thing t
RALPH’S POV“Mr sean, this business is no longer profitable. You need better to convince me in order to invest more!” one of the investors thundered angrily as they all agreed to him. “You have to understand me, I am going the best I could do!” I said angrily. These people were beginning to annoy me, what did they not understand. My business was currently facing crisis, in fact not only my business but my whole life. I was in severe crisis all because of that bastard, Zena! I couldn't wait to teach her a valuable lesson, I had promised myself that. I was still thinking of what to say when the door was suddenly opened. “Good afternoon everyone,” The cop said as he walked into the meeting room. Everyone looked at each other in fear, as several other police officer joined him. “My name is Officer Edward, from the police and would like to arrest Mr Ralph sean.” he said as he scanned the whole room. They all pointed at me as I quickly got on my feet. “Is there anything wrong?” I aske
Zena’s POVHe stared at me standing afar,“No.” It’s not true. I won’t do anything to hurt you.“What is not true? Did you ever care about me? Where I was? What I was up to? Did you ever care?” He yelled walking towards me.“No, Justin I did all I could, I would never do such to you and I want you to know that.” I said plainly.“Stop lying to me, what is all of this about? Why didn’t you tell me? Don’t I deserve to know?” He asked glaring towards his mom.“You need to calm down Justin, we won’t do anything to hurt you and you know that.”"Zena," Justin greeted as he reached me. He reached for my face and placed his hands gently on it.My body longed for his solemn touch which sent me shivering.I stared keenly into his eyes and I could see nothing but broadness evident in his eyes.It has been so long..His voice was deep and sonorous, and I realized how much I had missed hearing from him. "It's been such a long time." He was truly more handsome, as I had predicted. His hair was a l
