Rodri's Pov “I refuse to have this conversation with you, dad.” A sigh of exasperation followed the statement. For how long were we going to go back and forth about Trinity's child that was obviously not mine? It was becoming a pain in his spine and along with the pain came a long chain of days filled with annoyance. For one whole week, the phone calls were unending. Dad kept insisting I pay Trinity a visit at the hospital and I kept refusing to do so. I saw absolutely no reason for me to show up for a woman that was hell bent on ruining my life. Instead, I was channeling my time, attention and love towards the person who deserved it. Vanessa and our baby were still in the hospital but she was getting better with each passing day. I spoke with the doctor yesterday, and he told me they would both be discharged soon. That was the only reason I finally decided to heed my mum's words and paid my father a visit. What a wrong decision I had made. “Trust me, I am way more
Trinity's Pov The real father? Why isn't anyone paying any attention to what I have been screaming for the past ten minutes? My eyes darted to the chairman's face as Rodri kept bombarding me with questions. Was it so hard to believe me? I have been trying to get him to understand that the child had to be a Darnell, he just had to be. “Stop lying, Trinity!” Rodri's voice thundered in the room, startling me—just a little bit. I saw his mother take cautious steps towards him and place her hand gently on his. “I am sick and tired of hearing you say the same lines over and over again. Why the hell would the doctor tamper with the result?! What will he gain from doing something like that?!” As soon as Rodri drew attention to the doctor, he came into our line of sight. “Miss Trinity,” he addressed me like I was a child who he needed to be soft with. “The Chairman was very clear on the importance of this test's accuracy. My license was placed on the line also, there is n
Rodri’s POV It was so unbelievable that dad would stoop so low to sleep with Trinity, even though I was trying hard to get a grasp of the situation. Trinity actually slept with father and son? “What are you saying Angela, I have never cheated on you since our marriage, I’ve never even looked at another woman with the aim of having anything to do with them...” Dad started to defend himself, but mum wasn’t interested in whatever he was saying. She opened the door to walk out when I held her hand. She turned to me and I could see her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Just hear him out.” I whispered to her. “What is there to hear?” Mom flared, snatching her hand from me. I knew everything that was happening was my fault, if I hadn’t started anything with this bitch in the first place. If only I left with my family after seeing the results of her lies. If I didn’t start exchanging words with her and concerning myself with the father of her bastard. But it wasn’t time f
Vanessa’s POV It’s been more than two weeks since I came to this hospital and had my baby. It was high time I left here, but mom wasn’t seeing things from my perspective. She was scared something might happen to me or the baby if I left before the doctor’s approval, but my mind was made up, I would leave here today, come what may. If not because I couldn’t sneak out with my baby, I would have left here ages ago. What were they keeping me here for? Was Rodri doing this because he was scared of what his father might do if he took me to his house? Even at that, I still had mom’s house to stay. I’d seen in the movies where patients sneak out of the hospital and still survived, but I hadn’t seen anyone sneak out with her new born baby. It would have been helpful in this situation. “Vanessa, you’re being stubborn.” Mom said again. Wasn’t she tired of using the same lines over and over again? “You told me yesterday that today you’ll talk to the doctor and let me leave here
Rodri’s Pov Since mom left dad and I in Trinity’s room at the hospital for five whole days, I hadn’t set my eyes on her and it was bothering me, because where on earth could she have gone to? Mom barely had friends or people she hung out with, so it was almost always just dad and I, so I was worried because dad hadn’t seen her either. “Rodri.” Vanessa pushed me harder. “Ohh.. I’m sorry, I turned my full attention to her. “How long have you been calling me? Are you okay? Do you need anything?” I started scanning her body with my eyes. She shook her head. “I’m fine, but you’re not and I’m worried about you Rodri.” When was Vanessa ever going to stop calling me Rodri? When would she ever accept me as her lover and not just a baby daddy? I knew I set those boundaries but I didn’t want them anymore. She was more important than whatever useless boundaries I set. “I asked you a question but you were too lost to hear it even though you’re sitting next to me?” “I’m sorry bab
Trinity’s POV It’s been five days since Rodri brought me here, simply because I demanded for my child. What was so wrong about a woman wanting to see her own child? I have to leave here no matter what, and for that to happen I have to act calm and let them have their way, else they’d chain me to the bed again the way they did when they first brought me here. “Fuck you Rodri.” I screamed angrily. So bold of Rodri and his stupid father to think I, Trinity Seaman, is a pushover. How dare they try to lock me up in a place like this after taking my child to God knows where?! I would make them pay. Everyone of them. From Vanessa to her gold digger father and clueless mother, then Blossom, Samira, the chairman, the cowardly doctor that refused my offer to make my child Rodri’s with a simple testimony and signature. I was out for everyone. I was very sure Rodri’s mother Angela had left his father for good, so I didn’t really have any plans for her as long as she was out of my
Vanessa’s POV After Rodri left in a hurry, I went to my baby’s room to meet mom changing his diaper. “Morning mom.” I greeted as I walked to her. She was about to say something to me when her phone started ringing. I went to where her phone was laying on the bed with the intention of taking it to her when I saw who the caller was. ‘Mike’ was boldly written on the screen with two angry emojis. “Why is he calling you and where is he?” I asked mom in anger. “Who.. ohh…” “You’re still keeping in touch with him. Right?” To say I was mad was an understatement. How could mom still allow that good for nothing manipulative bastard to talk to her whenever he wanted? “It’s not like that, I haven’t…” I picked up the call, placed it on speaker phone and took it to her. “What do you want from me, Michael Sterling?” “The nerve of you to call my name like that?” “Since you have nothing to say, I'm hanging up.” Mom retorted. I gave her a thumbs up with a smile. If only
Estelle’s POV I couldn’t believe I had finally met him in person, the man I’d been talking to about almost everything, everyday. I was finally seeing Moses in real life not on FaceTime or WhatsApp video calls. It felt amazing to be on a date with this 6’4 tall, broad chested, brown eyes and dark haired, bronze skinned man. Moses had been wanting to see me in person for sometime but I’d been turning him down because I didn’t want anything to do with any man, but Vanessa made me promise to give him a chance. We’d been together for the past ten minutes and this gorgeous looking skinned man was a vibe. As a matter of fact, it felt like I had known him all my life. “So Estelle…” his deep masculine voice called my name in a way that sent shivers running down my spine. “Can…” I didn’t hear the rest of his statements because I was lost in a billion thoughts. Estelle please stand on your ground. Please don’t fall for this man, he’s a player. He must be a player. I cautioned mys
