He yawned, looked at the time and saw it was past 2am. He raised himself to a sitting position and remembered Rosa was supposed to be sleeping by his side.
He looked at his side where she's supposed to be sleeping and found it empty. She did not return into the room?
He stood up groggily and went to relieve himself. He decided to check on her in the other rooms. He went to the sitting room but she was not there.
He looked at the guest room and she wasn't there either. Besides the guest room there were only the children and the servants quarters.
Even Aunt Lulu lives in the servants quarters. He decided to check the children's room and there he found Rosa sleeping with her hands folded between her thighs.<
Lanre wanted to stand up to get the door but Rosa was faster "I'll get the door" she said, walking to the entrance and holding the door open for Theresa.The two friends embraced each other. Theresa looked Rosa head to her toes and smiled. She looked splendid and sweet and she can't remember seeing Rosa looking so beautiful and attractive before.As Rosa wanted to turn and Walk her into the sitting room, Theresa held her wrist "You look gorgeous this morning, tell me what's the secret?"she asked teasingly.Rosa chuckled and said "Thanks" she winked an eye at her friend seductively and Theresa Mo smiled, brushing shoulders with her." I see how great my brother's work was over the night, were you able to walk properly?
Rosa perceived that Lanre was also sobbing. She glanced at him and saw his tears. She doesn't know who to console at the moment.Theresa's sobbing was loud but Lanre's was quiet, but he was also sobbing. Should she leave Theresa and go to Lanre or just remain with the sister and leave the brother alone?"It's ok Lanre. Am sure your mum is happy and her soul watching you right now will not be happy that you visited her for the first time and cannot support your sister" Rosa consoled.She was talking to Lanre but was holding Theresa. That's her final decision. She would hold the sister but keep consoling the brother as well.Seeing Lanre wasn't saying anything again, Theresa Mo continued. "Just yesterd
Lanre suddenly became quiet. Rosa asked him what he wanted to tell him. He felt he shouldn't have told her he wanted to tell her something.Rosa glanced at him again and squinted. She thought he said he wanted to tell her something a few days ago and in the early hours of that day, he paused while romancing her and said he wanted to tell her something.Why the sudden silence? She pouted her lips and said nothing again. Did he cheat or does it have to do with her past life?"Will you be available for lunch?" Lanre asked, concentrating on the steering. He would tell her then. He would gather up his courage and confess to her."I hope to," Rosa answered, unsure of how busy she was going to be at work. "If we
They lifted her into the wheelchair and the only person Rita could think of calling was Theresa. While she was being wheeled into the hospital, she dialled Theresa Mo's cell phone number.Quickly the phone was answered. Before Theresa Mo could say hello, she heard Rita's moan of pain "I am dying Theresa!" She said before one of the nurses took the phone away from her.Theresa jumped up on her chair. "Rita, Rita, what's wrong with you? What do you mean you are dying?.." but she received no response as the call hung up.She became scared. Something has happened to Rita. She took her phone and dashed quickly into Junxie's office but he was at a conference meeting and he was the one talking at the time.
Theresa was still there when Carol Li walked into the hospital. She was directed to the waiting room where she found Theresa.Theresa's eyes were puffy and red. "Theresa, my child," Carol Li called out. She saw how pathetic she looked. She sat with her knees joined together and her hand on her chin at a corner.When Carol Li saw her, she felt her eyes teary. This girl is ideal for her son Junxie. She's an embodiment of what anyone would want in a daughter in-law.Theresa Mo raised her head to look in the direction of the door where Carol Li's voice came from.She saw her, stood up and went to her "mum!!" She went and hugged Carol Li and started sobbing on her shoulders.
Julia felt his hands shivered. Carol Li sobbed more. It is definitely not easy for someone to take one's child this way. This is supposed to be his first child."Junxie Li, please take it on his behalf" Carol Li implored. Junxie Li took the bodybag and asked if Rita was aware that her baby was gone.The doctor said she passed out before they could get to tell her. She hasn't recovered from her unconsciousness yet.Junxie Li nodded and watched as Rita was wheeled out of the theatre. She looked pale and her lips were almost going paper white.She laid on the stretcher like someone sleeping. It's obvious that she hadn't woken up from her unconscious state.T
Rosa didn't say anything. She was quiet. Lanre was right. If he hadn't told her,she wouldn't have known what he did behind her back. But telling her shows how much he loved and wants to be transparent towards her.Now she had made him feel hurt again. From the way he talked, she knew he wasn't happy with her behavior.Lanre had started the car but he didn't talk to her, nor glance at her as he's always done. He just stayed focused on the steering and looked straight ahead of him.When he arrived at her work place, he parked and let her come down. If it was the happy Lanre, he would draw closer to her and kiss her before she left,but that day, he waited for her to step out of the car."Will you come and pick me a
"I'm glad you made it alive. Your life is more important to me than the baby. Everything is going to be fine.." Julia said and became stuck.He couldn't say anything further. They were not married and he doesn't want his family to know about it, especially his elder brother.But he never cared for her during the pregnancy. He never asked her if she visited the hospital or took her there himself.It appears he wasn't interested in the baby. But that is not the truth. He may not have been bothered about her, but he was readily expecting the baby.And when he went to crenate it, he discovered the baby would have been a girl. She definitely would have been the little princess amidst two cousin brothers.
