"This is a joke, right? You're going to marry Kelvin?!" Alex's eyes bulged as she looked at the couch where Natasha was sitting with her legs crossed stylishly."It would save me a lot, it would save my family's reputation from humiliation," she said with a sigh.Alex scoffed and placed her arms akimbo."You weren't bothered about your family's reputation when you thought of raising the baby alone; what changed now?" She asked in surprise."Alex, Kelvin's love for me is sincere," she said softly with her gaze on the floor."And your love for him?" She asked.She didn't reply and she kept on counting her fingers slowly."You love Amos, don't you?" Alex continued."I can't love a man that pushed me out with my baby! You can imagine the pain he caused me by his actions!" She cried out loud."No man is perfect! No one is perfect including you! You've made bad decisions that hurt Amos in the past and he didn't take it to be the end of the road for you both," Alex explained, walking to the c
She sobbed silently as Alex massaged her feet with her head resting on a pillow. "It's going to be alright. You don't expect Amos to act so cool with the news at first," Alex consoled while massaging her feet gently."He never wanted the baby, did he? Now look at all the embarrassment he's caused me. I pray Adrian doesn't see the news," she cried from the bed.The door flung open instantly and Adrian showed up in the room, wearing his usual black suit and tie with his face brewing fire and brimstone."Hon..honey..," Alex cried, standing up right."I need you to explain this, Natasha!" He slammed, throwing his phone to the bed where she sat, wiping off her tears.She picked up the phone and saw the news which had bursted the internet that night about the fight at the restaurant."Honey, we can't blame Nat for this. Amos overreacted," Alex explained calmly as she took hold of Adrian's arms."And why didn't you let me in? You think situations like this could be handled trouble-free?" He
Stepping out of the building, he bumped into Natasha who was at the doorpost. They both stopped for a moment, and she tried to avoid his gaze which was piercing all over her body."You know, I'm not going to pester you any further. It's your life, your choice. Do what makes you happy," he said.Before she could say a word, he walked away and she kept on staring at him as he proceeded to his car.Driving out of the mansion, he felt satisfied with Adrian's advice. He had seen the look on Natasha's face when he promised not to pester her any longer. He would give her a little space to see if she'll run back to him, he thought as a smirk appeared on his face.TWO WEEKS LATER.Inside the beautiful garden at the Thompson's mansion, afrobeats music buzzed all over the place as people danced and vibe to the jiggling music.It was the night of Madison's remarriage to Jason and a small party was thrown to celebrate the couple."I haven't seen Natasha, she is not coming?" He asked Alex who was at
He sat at the bar, taking a shot from his glass. Sinking deep in thought, he couldn't stop thinking about Natasha getting married to Kelvin. He was running out of patience and he needed to act fast, he thought."Look who we have here," he heard a familiar voice and he turned to see Kemi dressed erotically in black fishnet dress, showing her undies and bra. He gulped as she pushed back her black long braids and sat beside him at the bar."Amos," she called, caressing his shoulder. "Are you okay?" She asked."I'm.. I'm fine. Where the hell have you been?" He asked, looking at her face.She smacked her black lips and smiled."I've been out of the country with my boo," she said, caressing his neck."You have a new boo?" He asked and she chuckled."Hmm," she mumbled, with her hand resting on her chin."You both went out on a vacation?" He asked."Nah, we traveled out for business to Kenya," she replied."Kenya?" He asked thoughtfully."Yes," she answered."And when did you return?" He aske
He kept on staring at Natasha as he thought of his encounter with Kelvin last night. No doubt, Kelvin was the one behind the attack, he thought as he tried to connect the scenes; but he isn't going to spill the beans for the respect he has for Natasha. He'll wait till they're alone and he'll let her know the kind of man she was about to marry."I..I don't know the person behind the attack. But I know someone sent those men after me and the truth will come out soon," he said."And..how did you escape?" Natasha asked."I was rescued by the soldiers living in the area. They heard the gunshot and came out from their houses. They shot back at the men who fled the scene immediately they saw the soldiers," he related."God spared your life," Alex said with a smile."He's giving you a second chance to repent from your debauched way of life," Chelsea added and they all laughed."We're glad Natasha and Alex are here. We'll be taking our leave now," Madison said, picking up her bag."I'm going w
"Nat, you'll do no such thing," he said, blocking her path."Watch me," she smirked, trying to walk away.He pulled her back and she landed on his chest forcefully. He grabbed her face and plunged his lips into her lips while she struggled to break free from him. A resounding slap from her sent him into a frenzy of bewilderment and he pulled away, staring at her face in disbelief.She wiped her lips with her palm as she tried to catch her breath."You," she pointed at his face as she pushed back her messy hair."Don't you dare come closer to me!" She warned and walked out of the room.Walking into the kitchen, she could see Mrs Eno joyfully chopping some vegetables. She took a deep breath and arranged her hair carefully before walking into the kitchen."Sola, you didn't rest?" Mrs Eno asked in surprise."Um..no..I couldn't sleep," she muttered with her angry face staring at the cabinet."Sola, are you okay? You can talk to me about anything. We're like mother and daughter, right?" She
Stepping into the spacious and luxuriously furnished living room, she smiled broadly on seeing Alex walking down the stairs."Sweetie," Alex called with a smile as she walked over to her."Don't call me that, you all planned with Amos so I could sleep over at his place, right?" She snapped with her face pulling into a frown.Alex chuckled and waved back her curly short artificial hair."Babe, I'm so in love with Amos' mother! Gosh, that woman was all over you," she said with a smile.She sighed and walked over to the long brown leather couch."He invited his mother on purpose. He thought maybe she could help win me back," she said with a scoff."And she didn't succeed in winning you back for her son? Hmm?" Alex asked with a chuckle as she walked to the couch.She heaved a sigh and looked around the neatly spacious living room. "It's good to be back here, right?" Alex asked with a smile."Yeah, I can't believe Adrian did away with the old furniture. They aren't that bad," she said."O
The ringing of the phone jolted him from sleep. He opened his eyes slowly and rubbed his palm over his face tiredly. Looking at the caller ID, he became curious as he saw Alex."Hey," he called grumpily on picking the call."Amos, where are you?" Her anxious voice sounded from the phone.He sat up right on hearing her anxious teary voice. There was noise all over the phone and he couldn't hear her clearly any longer."Alex.. Alex, what's going on?" He asked immediately."Amos, Nat was involved in an accident!" Alex cried from the phone."What!!" He exclaimed, springing up from the bed."No..no..this is not happening!" He cried with his body trembling visibly."You need to come right to the hospital where I birthed Junior," she said and hung up immediately.The phone dropped slowly from his hands and landed on the bed. He stood transfixed for a moment with his eyes staring at space."Noo!!!" He screamed vigorously.**Rushing into the hospital lobby, he was directed to the emergency ro
