Amara's POV:"Darlington! Where do you think you're taking Amara to, and you didn't even care to greet your mother-in-law?" Mrs. Ifeoma was asking Darlington, who got into the driver's seat as I sat at the rear."Mom, Amara is not feeling well, and she's sick and vomiting," Darlington replied calmly to his mother, who gasped."Ah! Sick and vomiting? Are you sure that you haven't gotten her pregnant?" Mrs. Ifeoma asked, and I looked shocked as it slipped my mind to know if I was pregnant or not. I had been feeling sick, and also, I wasn't accurate with my feminine cycle."Mom, I don't know. When we get to the hospital, we will find out. I will be back," Darlington said to his mother as she frowned and moved away from the side door. He ignited the engine and drove out of the mansion.All throughout the drive journey to the hospital, I was silent, and so was Darlington. Truly, we have been having unprotected intercourse, and it was only right that I conceive for him, and I hadn't thought
Darlington Briggs:I couldn't tell Amara the truth, and I knew that she wouldn't believe me. Not after confirming from the doctor that Amara was carrying my baby. I was the one who had registered Amara as my neighbor at home and a close family friend to me, as I briefed the nurses about my father's closeness to Amara, when they had registered her name.The young nurses were aware that I was in a relationship with Jenna Colton and seeing me with another woman who had been confirmed pregnant. I didn't want the news to spread out, so I had to play along with the lies that had been created before.I could have jumped up excitedly to show Amara how happy I am to now become an expectant dad, the joy that Jenna had deprived me of, but then, I had to act cool and pretend that I wasn't happy.I wanted to express myself to Amara, but I was still considering how Jenna would feel about the whole thing. My mother had been so headstrong in preparing the wedding, even when I wasn't ready to wed Jenn
Darlington BriggsI could see Amara smiling bashfully at the video call as her mother asked her, "Really? Then you shouldn't tell anyone so that you don't lose your baby until it's safe.""Okay, Mom. Please tell dad that I'm fine and I will come home soon," she said."Why? You should stay there with your husband or who are you expecting to look after you and the baby?""Mom, Darlington doesn't want me and wants to marry his ex, next weekend," Amara said, looking at me while I frowned, as that wasn't what we had discussed."Why? But he cannot marry anyone in his father's absence. I'm sure his mother is the one forcing him to. Do not worry, if you don't feel comfortable there, you can return home as we have discussed, and I will speak to your father to nullify everything, okay?""Okay, Mom," Amara replied and smiled, and her mother told her to take care of herself and send her regards to me, before the phone call ended."Why would you tell your mother about the pregnancy?" I asked Amara
Amara Nicholas:Darlington and I went downstairs to leave the house as we were done dressing up. We met Mrs. Ifeoma in the living room with Samara. It was Tuesday morning, and though Darlington was supposed to leave for his office, he looked rather excited to be moving out of his father's house with me, while Mrs. Ifeoma and Samara both frowned."Good morning, Ma," I greeted Mrs. Ifeoma, who managed to respond, then she quickly spoke to her son, "Darlington. Why not have breakfast with us before leaving the house? I'm not happy that you're leaving.""Mom, we will still be in touch, and I will be coming to visit you and Samara. At least, before Samara gets married," Darlington said, standing beside me as he spoke to his mother, but then, I felt sick, standing there with them and listening to their conversation.I didn't want to act nauseous in front of Mrs. Ifeoma, so I nudged Darlington's arm for us to be going."Let's have our breakfast first before we leave," Darlington said, while
Amara Nicholas:A week had passed in Darlington's new home as he did not leave the house for work, and we were mostly staying at home together.On Saturday afternoon, as Darlington and I were in the living room watching the television that was displaying a romance movie. The movie was my favorite and also interesting. We sat together on the same couch like a sweet couple, as I was resting my head on Darlington's thigh while I laid on the couch, and he was sitting.Darlington's phone rang out, and he answered. I assumed his mother was the one calling him, as he gave her directions to his home.After the phone call ended, Darlington said to me, "Amara, my mom and sister are coming here."I was nervous because I was wearing a pink light dress, more like a maternity-free dress, while we were watching the romance movie which was my favorite.A few hours later, we heard the gate sound, and Darlington stood up from the couch to go outside and check who had arrived, while I remained seated on
Amara Nicholas:I wanted to cry when I got into the master bedroom, but I decided not to. I was already a month pregnant with Darlington's child, and it was only best that I await his arrival to know what he went to do with Jenna Colton.I went to lay on the bed, nursing my broken heart, and later I heard the sound of a car arriving at the house.I stood up from the bed and went to peek at them, and true enough, Darlington had brought home the lady. She was wearing a very short black gown and paired with black high-heeled shoes. She looked beautiful as she stepped out of the car and gazed around the house.As the mansion was quiet, I heard her say, "Wow, Darlington, our home is more beautiful than I thought."Darlington didn't reply to her, and it broke my heart that he went to bring Jenna into our home, after he had told me that the house belongs to the two of us.I looked at the room and saw it was already after 4 pm, I sighed and stared back at the room Darlington and I had been sh
Darlington Briggs:I was in turmoil after leaving the house to go pick Jenna up. I couldn't muster the courage to tell Jenna the truth that I don't want her anymore. Seeing how pretty Jenna looked as she rushed to hug me at the airport, I was caught up on the words that refused to come out of my mouth.Jenna used to be the air that I breathed before, but now, I breathe in Amara. I'm in love with Amara and want to spend the rest of my life with her, but what about the promises that I made to Jenna before?"Darling, why are you standing there and staring lost? Come and show me to our room? I have missed you and cannot wait to have you," Jenna said, as she moved to hug me in Amara's presence, but I moved her hand away, avoiding the hug as I reached to pick up Jenna's box."Right, come let me show you to the guest room," I said."Guest what? Darlington!" Jenna sounded annoyed."I'm not a guest here! Like, I don't understand what's wrong with you and what's going on here?" Jenna shouted as
Darlington Briggs:"Darlington! What baby did I hear you say to that woman? Did you get her pregnant? Is she pregnant for you?" Jenna asked me, as I wore my slippers to pick up my car key and to go in search of Amara. I wonder where she was going, and I hadn't cautioned the security man not to let Amara out of the house before.Since we arrived here, Amara and I had been living peacefully, so I hadn't thought to caution the security man not to let her out, like how I had cautioned the security man at my father's home."Darlington!" Jenna tried to stop me again, but I pushed her arm off and told her, "Just stay away from me for now. We will discuss about all these later."Quickly, I bolted out of the house and hurried to search for Amara outside, but she was nowhere in sight. I went back into the house, got into my car, and drove out of the estate, but Amara wasn't there.I wasn't with my phone to call her. I went to the estate security men to ask them if they had seen any lady in a gr
