Anita nods and waves to Lisa to leave, as she was still on the phone call with Alfred.

"I heard that," Alfred says, and Anita finally laughs, feeling better.

"What did you hear?" she asks him.

"Your sister's response, of course, that breakfast is ready, and you still don't want to invite me?" Alfred asks, and Anita finally stands up from her bed, feeling her center aching and throbbing from the past hurt Liam inflicted on it.

"Sorry about that, come and join us for breakfast," Anita finally invites Alfred..

"Thank you. Tomorrow, I will be expecting you. Should I come to pick you up?" Alfred asks as he wants to end the call.

"Hmph, no," Anita responds.

"Why?" Alfred immediately asks her.

"Nothing. I just want to follow my mom to our new apartment. I will come and visit you once I'm done with them," Anita says, not wanting to tell Alfred that she also wants to go visit her father in the police station.

"Okay," Alfred responds, and he finally ends the call.

Anita sighs and keeps her phon

    Temisa walks into her beautiful room painted in blue color and walks to her bed as she sits on it. She shakes her head sadly as she thinks of who to call. She cannot call Anita as she knows Anita will ask her questions, and she feels ashamed to tell Anita that the CEO doesn't really say hi to her, nor acted like he's happy about the marriage.Temisa picks up her handkerchief and wipes her eyes, just then she sees her mother walk into her room angrily, and she sits up properly, not wanting to meet her mother's gaze."Temisa, are you crying?" Mrs. Bianca asks, and Temisa rather stares away from her mother, lying, "I'm fine, mom, I'm not crying," she sniffs."Come on, don't lie to me." Mrs. Bianca takes her seat beside her daughter's bed, and holds Temisa's hands in hers."I already told your father that you cannot marry that man, not because his family is rich or the most wealthy here in our state. You deserve someone to love you, not someone acting cold or you begging him to love you,"

Anita asks herself as she chuckles and finally drops her phone on her bed, thinking against calling Max, knowing that she cannot go out to see him in her horrible state.She shakes her head sadly and stares back at her laptop as it has finished booting, and she sighs heavily, knowing that in a few days, Temisa will visit her and flaunt her wedding ring or wedding invitation card before her eyes, and her eyes subtly turn red as she sniffs, feeling jealous that the Cold CEO actually used her."Why am I even feeling like this?" Anita asks herself as she sniffs again and starts clicking on her laptop to search for the blues.She switches on her phone's Wi-Fi and connects it, as she prefers using it that way, and she searches for the blues.Anita is stunned as she finally sees the company.

    Anita wonders if Temisa already found out about her relationship with Liam, like how she slept with him in his office, and her frown deepens."Why didn't Temisa call? I thought she said she will be coming to see me?" Anita asks herself as she frowns.She contemplates for a while and finally dials Temisa's number to be sure Temisa hasn't found out, as she feels ashamed and her legs subtly shaking.[Anita dials Temisa's number, first ring, second ring and third ring before Temisa finally picks up.]"Hello," Temisa says as she sits up on her bed, just waking up."What's up, girlfriend? You promised to call or come visiting, and I didn't hear from you again?" Anita asks nervously, and Temisa yawns."I wanted to, but I slept off and I'm just waking up now," Temisa replies and yawns again."You slept off. I thought you said Liam would be visiting you, and he visited the last time we spoke?" Anita asks."Yes, he did. He came with his family, and my parents have already agreed with them to fi

    Mrs. Tonia wipes the corner of her mouth with the dining table serviette, keeps it, and she stands up and walks out of the dining room."Where are you going, Anita?" She asks Anita as she walks to the living room to take a seat on their couch."I'm just going inside, mother," Anita responds, and Mrs. Tonia keeps silent for a while as she comfortably sits."We will be going out soon, so once we are done mopping and cleaning the new house, we will come back to rest. I already painted it during the week, as I hired a painter to do that.""Okay, mom," Anita responds, and she hears her mother sigh."Who's the man Flora is asking you about?" Mrs. Tonia finally asks, as she's still sad that Anita told her the handsome man she saw the last time that dropped them home wasn't the one who made love to her. She's still angry about it, but keeps her cool."He's Alfred, mom. The one who dropped us home the other day," Anita finally responds, as she didn't want to speak about Alfred before."Hmm," M

    "How wouldn't I say that, when your sister isn't serious about settling down yet? Let's just give her some time first, and I will think about your marriage with Stephen, but not now," Mrs. Tonia responds as she walks into the kitchen to examine the green painting on the wall.She actually loves the green paint and she admires the way they painted it neatly. She brings out the mopping bucket and brooms from the kitchen and walks back to the parlor and hands them over to Favour and Lisa to start sweeping."Here, you both should sweep here quickly!" Mrs. Tonia says as she walks to the rooms to meet Anita and Esther standing there and staring at the green painting that has already dried."Esther, you and Flora should get the remaining two brooms and sweep the two rooms, as Lisa and Favour are already sweeping the parlor, kitchen, and bathroom.""But mom, Flora is already pregnant, why not me and Anita do the sweeping?" Esther asks."Okay," Mrs. Tonia responds and walks away to examine the

I have someone to see," Anita ensures her neck is properly covered with the scarf wrapped around it like a shawl, and her mother doesn't respond.Anita walks out from the flat, going back downstairs and out of the building.Arriving at the bus station, Anita decides to give Alfred a call."Hello, good afternoon.""Afternoon, babe. Where are you now?" Alfred asks."I'm at Amade Estate area. Where can I meet you?"

    Anita stares up to meet Alfred's gaze and says, "Actually, I got a letter of transfer from the Benson to work with Blues company, and I'm shocked it's your company."Alfred raises his head up and meets her gaze. "Okay. That's good to know. So are you ready to leave your boss, or are you still going there tomorrow?"Anita swallows and stares away from him, and Alfred asks her next, "Do you like Liam?""No...""You keep saying no. Maybe I should believe all those answers as yes.""No.. I.. don't.. like him," Anita struggles to say, and she sees Alfred scoff."It's okay. I'm not forcing you. I just said I like you and thought I could settle down with you and have a family with you. But it seems you're still attracted to your boss, the more reason why you don't want to leave him. I can understand, as Liam is more handsome than me. Or did I lie about him?""No.. I mean.. he's not handsome, and it's not about handsomeness!" Anita clears her throat and she subtly frowns, staring at him."Hon

    Alfred stares at the two sexy brunettes approaching him in their black short skirts and blue crop tops. He frowns and pushes their hands away as they touch him, feeling irritated."Another one!" he says to the bartender, noticing the familiar lady he previously saw with Anita standing and staring at him."Get off!" he yells at the two young ladies. They frown and leave him. He opens the second bottle of alcohol and chugs it down, wanting to get tipsy to forget about Anita."Bitch!" he curses at the two ladies as he turns back to face the bartender. Temisa finally walks up to meet him, as if her legs have a mind of their own."Hi," she says to him, and Alfred stares at her."How can I... wait, aren't you Anita's friend?"Temisa nods as she holds the bottle away from his lips."Did she send you here, or what do you want?" Alfred asks coldly. Temisa rubs her right palm seductively on his chest and uses her index finger to touch his lips. Alfred is taken aback by her sudden action."What d

    Liam doesn't say anything as he stands watching the two friends reunite and forgive each other. They finally stand up, and Temisa walks over to see the twin babies in their little baby bed in the living room."Wow, they look so much like Liam, but my baby resembles me more than Alfred," Temisa says, while Anita only smiles at her."It's all good, girlfriend. I wish you both a happy married life, and I will be your bridesmaid on your wedding day," Temisa proposes, and Anita shakes her head."Flora already filled that position. You will only join the train.""Okay, dear. I have to be on my way now. You know I just darted out from the house as soon as Alfred told me about your babies and that you're here with Liam. Take good care of yourself, girlfriend, as you look slim," Temisa says, while Anita nods to her."I will. Let me escort you," Anita feels all the previous heaviness in her heart disappear, and she walks out of the mansion with Temisa.They walk to the garage where Temisa's car

Just then, Mr. Taiye walks in too and sees the visitors, noticing Liam carefully carrying a baby in his arms. He recognizes the familiar lady as his son's secretary and immediately knows the babies are the result of the encounter they had in Liam's office."Good evening, Father," Liam happily greets his father. Mr. Taiye nods to all their greetings, while Anita nervously stares downward, feeling uncomfortable, remembering Mr. Taiye had warned her to stay clear of his son and never show her face in his company again."Mother, here are your grandkids," Liam walks over to meet his mother, who is sitting on the living room couch. He carefully places the baby boy in her arms, and Mrs. Juliet is still in shock as Liam never told her his secretary was pregnant or that he was bringing his babies home.Mr. Taiye is the most confused as he remembers he w

    "Are you married?" Liam finally asks, sounding hurt. Anita shakes her head and replies, "No.""Then how come the babies?" Liam asks as he finally saunters over to meet her. He has missed her so much, and he doesn't look himself because of her."Anita," Liam finally approaches her, and she turns to face him, and he sees she's crying."I'm sorry," Anita cries, and Liam crosses the thin line between them and hugs her warmly."It's okay. I've missed you. I do love you," Liam comforts her in a hug, hoping whoever got her pregnant or married her doesn't step in and catch him hugging his wife.Anita wants to pull away from Liam as she inhales his cologne, realizing she's crying into his chest, but Liam hugs her tighter and raises her chin to face him."Don't you miss me?" he asks, and Anita sniffs."I do," she replies."And you don't want to kiss me or welcome me?"Anita finally raises her head properly and looks up at Liam's face.He looks sick too, so unlike him, and his beard is overgrown

    Anita doesn't say anything as she watches her mother dress up in a green gown while she breastfeeds her little daughter, who sucks a lot, wanting to drain the remaining energy she has left."I have to go out now and buy everything we will need to eat tonight. There's no food in the kitchen, and I don't want to disturb Mama and her in-law.""Okay, Mom."Anita watches her mother walk out of the room. She carefully places her little girl down and walks to her phone to see all the text messages Liam sent to her. Her heartbeat increases as she unlocks her phone screen.She sees a lot of texts from him and love emojis and she smiles, staggering backward to sit on her bed to read his texts."What happened to you? Your mom said you got discharged from the hospital. Are you alright now? Not to worry, I will be coming down to your village to see you. But why did you shut us all out? I have really missed you. Honestly, I cannot stop thinking about the love we made, and I'm glad your mom finally

    Mrs. Tonia pulls away from the mother-to-daughter hug and stares at Anita's face."It's okay, stop crying. Why did you run away, and who did you sleep with?" Mrs. Tonia questions as she walks to look at her grandkids.She stares at the two cute babies who are also awake and staring at her. She gasps in surprise as she isn't mistaken—the babies look so much like Liam, the CEO of Benson Group. She stares back at Anita, who’s also looking at her, and then back at the twin babies in their baby bed."Anita, who got you pregnant?" Mrs. Tonia asks again while Alice finally walks over to hold her hand."We can discuss this at home. Let it rest while we leave the hospital first."Mrs. Tonia sighs and looks from Alice to Anita and back to her grandbabies.They're so cute and fair, and now she knows why the CEO has kept on asking her about Anita.So he's the one that got her daughter pregnant and slept with Anita the very day he delayed her at work and made her return home late.Mrs. Tonia tries

    Anita wakes up that evening with a light headache. She sits up in her bed and eats the dinner Alice brought for her from home."How are you feeling now? You need to breastfeed your babies and not starve them," Alice says. Anita finally looks at them as her eyes clear, and seeing one of them crying, Alice speaks to her."She's a girl, while the calm one here is a boy." Alice hands over the baby girl to Anita, who stares at her beautiful daughter's face.Her baby girl looks so much like Liam; even though she's very fair like her, her baby's short curly hair and round cute face resemble Liam so much. Anita's heart skips a beat as she keeps staring at her baby instead of breastfeeding her."Why are you still staring at her? Give her your breast milk" Alice finally yells at Anita, snapping her out of her daze. Anita opens up her shirt and breastfeeds her baby.The little girl in her arms stops crying after a while as she sucks on her breast. As if the second baby is aware, he resumes cryin

    "I know," Liam replies and smiles back."But I still miss Anita and want to see her account," he says."Tell me the truth, boss. Do you just miss Anita, or are you in love with her and have a crush on her?" Temisa asks, and she sees Liam smile, which already answers her question."Just send me Anita's profile name. Let me search for her first.""Okay, I will," Temisa replies as she sits up properly."What about Alfred?" Liam finally asks her as he sees her sit up."He's not yet home. You know he runs the hotels and club too, cheating on me," Temisa pouts."He's not. He complains about you starving him," Liam tells her, and Temisa gasps."He said that? I know Alfred is so shameless," Temisa replies, and just then Alfred returns and walks into their room, as they both use one room together. Even though the room was his before she moved into his family house. His mother had insisted they must share a room together as a couple, and he clearly heard her call him a shameless man."Who are y

Don't you know your sister again?" Mr. Collins questions."Oh, you mean her daughter is in the village? Which one?""I don't know her name yet, but she's white and very fair. She just gave birth to twins, making your sister a grandmother now.""Oh! You mean Anita?" Barrister Jude asks."Is that her name? Well, I don't know. I'm just seeing her for the first time now. Let me contact your sister then. I forgot I recently got her number due to her husband's case."Mr. Collins quickly ends the call, not giving Barrister Jude any more chances to question him.
