'Please, from henceforth, be careful. Richmond' is a man of questionable character. I know him. He might try to take you forcefully'. Jason advised.'I am not a child and I know Rodney. I am carrying his illegitimate child afterall and saying this is not going to stop me from moving out as I have planned. I had better be abducted by the devil I know Rodney to be than stay in a deceptive paradise that you provide', Nancy retorted.'It is because you are not a child and I cannot watch over you twenty four- seven that I am giving you this warning and how can you protect yourself if you are alone out there somewhere with no one to watch over you?', Jason asked exasperated. He had thought that, she would be grateful for his concern but he was wrong. She just did not give a damn and Chris was telling him how he was sure Nancy loved him? He must have blurry vision. How can someone be as stubborn as this?Nancy walked away from him. They had seen in the compound as Nancy came to get somethin

Nancy cried and cried. She could not believe that she had allowed herself to be humiliated this way.What was it with her that she could not think rationally anytime Jason came close to her?She had virtually fallen into his arms. So he was right in calling her surrender to her attention by reminding her of her denial.She slept and when she woke, she concentrated on looking for a dress that would flatter her as she went in her date with Alfred.He had been jealous when she had done nothing with Alfred.Now, she was going to give him something to be jealous about.When they got back from their day out, Nancy knew because the children ran to her quarters chatting excitedly about all they did and their experiences.Nancy convinced them later to go in, have a bath to wash off the dirt, eat if they felt like it and have a nap.She read a little till it was time for her to get dressed.She brought out the dress she had chosen, silvery ash gown, sleeveless, flared from the breast line down

Pregnant?'Alfred, did you anything I said at all? You are so quiet'.Pregnant? How? It was definitely not Campbell's going by what she had said then whose could it be?Nancy did not look to him like someone who was promiscuous but then one could never tell but maybe there was a story behind the pregnancy.'Alfred?''Yes? Yes, I heard all that you said but you must either have a very tiny stomach or else you know how to camouflage the pregnancy. I could never have guessed. But tell me, If Jason is not the father, who then is?''He is someone you do not know and I do not want to involve you in this. It is really complicated', she said tired of telling people the origin of her pregnancy.'Were you in love with him?''At the time, I thought that I was. He was my very first. But I didn't know that behind his persistent pursuit of me and his determination to make me fall for him was all a farce. It was aimed at getting between my thighs.When he realised I was pregnant, he asked me to abor

Rodney had been silent all this while watching the road and Jason alternatively. He was anxious because he knew that Nancy must be in grave danger but not wanting to antagonize Jason by asking any unwarranted questions.But after a while, he could not keep quiet any longer.'What car type are we looking for?' he asked.'I don't know '.'Please tell me, two pairs of eyes are most definitely better than a pair. I am as bothered as you about the plight of Nancy especially in her condition'.Jason had wanted to shout at him to stop pestering him but his words surprised him. First he spoke the truth about the pair of eyes but that was not f he knew what car to look for but he didn't and it was making him feel helpless and useless which are not the type of feelings he relished.Secondly, he was amazed that Alfred had noticed Nancy's pregnancy and had still gone out on a date with her. This could only mean that his feelings for her ran deep. Deeper than he had envisaged or was Nancy the one

Rodney drove into the house that he had prepared for an emergency occasion such as this one.Nancy was still struggling but feeling whimsy and trying not to throw up had taken its toil on her that as soon as he got her out of the car, and the cool night air touched her, she threw up. Heaving painfully.It weakened her. Rodney dragged her into the house. If she were asked to describe the way to this out of the way house, Nancy would not have been able to do that because she had not been concentrating on that. She had seen Jason's car behind them and had nursed the hope that he would catch up with them but Rodney had lost him and switched the cars and she had not seen Jason anymore. That was when she felt her hope dash I to tiny pieces.She would have attacked Rodney but someone had been in the car waiting for them as the switch was made and that was why it had been swift before Jason could get there and this person, who she supposed must be one of his goons had held a gun to her all th
