“What do you mean failed?” Maxwell queried the Doctor.“I know how it sounds sir, but it is the truth. It happens very rarely, for some reason we can't explain, your Vasectomy has failed, the scan results show that the surgery failed, however I will suggest you undergo the reversal process immediately for better results at child bearing.”“Are you kidding me? You assured me that this was permanent and I could never have babies unless I initiated the reversal of the surgery. I didn’t intend to have any children until the next two to three years at least, so why did this happen?”“I am sorry, Sir… But things like this happen once in a blue moon, it is not supposed to be that way but it is not in our power.” The Doctor announced.Maxwell Blackwood sighed and got up from the chair, he was frustrated. He had no idea a Vasectomy could fail or he would have never reacted the way he did with Anna, now he had hurt her feelings unintentionally and instead of planning for the party ahead, he wou
Floating through the air, the smell of bacon and pancakes woke Anna from her deep sleep. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Maxwell sitting next to her bed with a tray full of breakfast food. He had a big smile on his face.Anna's frown deepened instantly. Memories of their argument from the night before flooded back – his lies, her hurt feelings, and the confrontation. This breakfast-in-bed act? Definitely not winning him any points"Good morning, beautiful," Maxwell chirped, acting completely oblivious to her stormy mood. "I made you breakfast!" he added quickly, he looked genuinely excited and Anna wasn’t having any of it.She looked down at the food, and slowly looked up at him, her lips pursed into a tighter line. "Is this supposed to be a bribe?" she asked, her voice laced with ice, trying to act unimpressed by his attempt at winning her over.Maxwell chuckled nervously, a bead of sweat forming on his temple. "Maybe just a… peace offering?" he replied, making a funny face.
Jennifer walked into Marshal's office with a nonchalant expression on her face, she submitted a file at his desk. “Here, you asked for this.” She muttered in a cold voice.“Yeah, thank you.” he replied with a small smile.Jenny didn’t respond, she just turned around to leave. Marshall got up immediately and went after her. “Hey wait!” he called as he noticed the frown on her face.She paused and turned back to face him. “What?” she murmured.He walked up to her, standing in front of the desk. “Is everything alright? I mean, I can't help but notice that you have been avoiding me in the past few days, and what is with the face? You act like you are mad at me. Did I do something?” he queried.Jennifer hummed and folded her arms, she avoided eye contact with him while saying nothing. She really wanted to tell him but she didn’t know how to say it.“Come on, please talk to me. You are making me feel uneasy, was it the sex? Was it bad?”His question threw her off. “Noo!” she replied quickly
“Oh my God… I am so happy to see you!” Belle squealed in excitement as the girls came out of the car.The Cruz twins along with two other female friends had arrived to meet Jennifer and Annabel in front of the mansion, expecting them. Unlike Jen who was excited to reunite with her friends, Annabel was nervous, she was scared of her pregnancy getting exposed.Luckily for Anna, the girls didn’t notice a thing, at least not yet.“You girls look so good! Must be having so much fun without me,” Anna teased.“Come on, don’t kid me. Have you seen you? I am almost tempted to say you have grown fat.” Bella laughed.Anna didn’t find that funny but she forced a smile. “Come on ladies, let's not stand out here, come inside.”Like noisy birds, they quivered into the grand hall and jaws dropped. The ladies were mesmerized by the sight, the elegance and magnificence of the blackwood mansion, it was like a mini castle with modern designs.Just then, as if waiting for that moment, Mr. Blackwood appear
“Is it the key to your heart?” She joked and Maxwell laughed.“No, love… You already have those.” He smiled.“So what are they for?” she asked anxiously, the impatience eating her up.“Well, I purchased and renovated your former house, it is legally in your name now as I had you sign the papers a while ago without your knowledge. You are free to do whatever you want with the house.” He announced.Anna’s jaws dropped. “What?” she muttered. She couldn’t believe it, she was a house owner in the United States at the age of 23; this was the American dream!!“Yeah, and about cars, there are already two parked in front of your house, you will find them waiting for you.” he informed her.“Oh my God…” Anna gasped, unable to find words. She squealed in excitement and jumped into his arms, hugging him passionately. “Thank you so much!” she said in appreciation.Their little moment of happiness was disturbed shortly, Anna heard someone loudly clearing their throat and she pulled back immediately.
Maxwell Blackwood and his little sister, Abigail climbed down the staircase, his eyes scanning the room in search of his brother. He couldn’t have Simon causing mischief here tonight.The first familiar faces his eye met were those of his mother, Anna and her own mother. It seemed like Anna was introducing them to each other. Maxwell didn’t want to get involved in that right now, he walked past and up next was Jennifer giggling and pouring champagne with her friends.Then to the left, Maxwell caught sight of his brother speaking to a lady, although she had her back to him, she looked very familiar. He walked down to them immediately, a frown on his face.“You know you could have politely taken an excuse before walking out on us like that.” He growled softly, trying to hold back the anger. This was not supposed to be a big deal but for some reasons, it pissed him off.The lady didn’t flinch or turn around, she remained rooted with her back to him, her long hair rolling against her bac
Anna hummed to herself gladly as she walked away, she didn’t know what plans Maxwell had but the moment she saw Linda, she knew it was now or never. If she ever wanted to get rid of Linda, this was her chance.It was not like she didn’t trust Maxwell to get the job done but this is someone he used to care for, someone he made love with for months, he clearly still had a soft spot for her or she wouldn’t be here today. She didn’t really blame him, knowing how exes can be manipulative; Jimmy for Example.“Hey! Anna!” A familiar voice called to her attention.Annabel turned to her left and her eyes met Megan. “Megan! You made it!” she said excitedly and they embraced each other.“Of course, sorry I am late, I had to go pick up Ugochi from the airport.” She announced.The name struck a bell but Anna couldn’t recollect where she had heard it before. “Ugochi?” she muttered and then she gasped. “Oh my God, you mean the bar lady from Botswana?”Megan immediately pointed to her where she was s
“Where did you get the dress, Ann? It is so nice.” Belle complimented as she touched the fabric.“Oh, Jennifer had it made for me.” Anna replied with a smile.“Uh Uh… It looks expensive,” Belle chirped in.“Oh, it sure is expensive.” Jennifer smacked proudly.The ladies were still chitchatting when Jenny’s phone began to ring, she checked the caller ID and blushed, quickly covering it with a smile.Jennifer quickly rejected the call as she looked up back to her friends, she caught them staring at her with suspicious eyes.“Ooommm…” Belle cooed. “What is the new guy’s name?” she asked teasingly“What guy? I don’t know what you are talking about.” Jennifer denied, her cheeks getting redder with each passing second.“Oh come on, since when are you shy about these things, spill it already.” The Cruz twins urged.“His name is Marshall and he is standing right at the door.” Anna suddenly announced.Jennifer’s jaws dropped. “It is a lie,” she muttered to herself as she quickly turned around
