It was Sunday and Daniella was dressed for church. She waited patiently for Herty, who showed up as promised. Herty kept thinking about how she was going to explain things to Jones. Jones was always all over Danica, therefore, it would be practically impossible to keep him away from Daniella. She also feared that Daniella might not be truthful to her words and destroy Danica's reputation. Whichever way, when she arrived at Daniella's house, her eyes popped out in concussion with Daniella's outfit. "Where do you think we are going? Please, Daniella, the church is different from a nightclub. "Herty didn't expect Daniella to be perfect but she at least expected her to be somewhat reasonable. Daniella looked relaxed, not showing a quota of responsibility. "This is like my most decent dress," she sat back on the couch and crossed her legs sparingly. It would have been quite unusual for Herty to allow her to have her way, which of course didn't happen. "Let's check Danica's closet. You s

Loney’s face lightened up in anticipation when a notification of an email popped in the corner of the screen of his laptop. He clicked it open instantly, when he saw that it was from Dina. His expression became unreadable as he glanced at the pregnancy test attached. He dialed her phone number instantly, "which of the samples did you take?" "Blood sir, just as you instructed.” He paused for a moment and said, "Send it to her." Danica received an envelope, instantly understanding that it was the test result. She opened it eagerly to be met with disappointment. She wasn't pregnant. "It means you will meet with the master again. Don't worry, these things are unpredictable, especially when it's not done at the right time." Mabel tried to console her when she noticed her disappointment. Meanwhile, Danica hadn't understood Mabel’s words. "What do you mean by that?" "Well, negative doesn't mean that you are not fertile. It only means that it happened at the time your eggs weren't release

Paul's mouth was tightly glued. He looked around aimlessly, buying time for a reasonable explanation. Suddenly, something clicked. "Ahhh, just forget it. Let me get something to eat first." Danica narrowed her eyes. She figured that Paul wanted her to cook for him because he caught her cooking most times. "You want me to make you breakfast. Why don't you just say so?" Paul was just looking for a way to disappear, "Don't worry, I will get Mabel to do it for me." Danica was persistent. She felt that, for Paul to come and knock on her door because he was hungry was a very big deal and couldn't take it lightly. "Oh, just wait for a little. I will come and do it for you. Let me change and I will be downstairs before you know it," Danica uttered with concern. When Paul realized that there was no way of escape, he suddenly dropped a hint, "No, you will need a long bath, I'm out," he turned around and left without giving Danica the chance to utter another word. Danica's mind went into a f

Paul was derailed with Danica's message. He thought of how to put it through without getting Loney upset. He knew Loney's quick temper and the best way to live with Loney was to do as he wished. He never wanted his authority to be questioned. After he harnessed through his thoughts, certain of a favourable way, he put a call through to Loney. Loney was already expecting his call. He knew that Danica would not concede. Somehow, he was also excited. He inferred that right now, he would be all that Danica would be thinking about, which gladdened his heart. "What did she say this time?" He asked Paul, as soon as he pressed the answer button. "She wants you to come next week because the test showed negative," Paul thought this was the right way to convey the message without repeating Danica's exact words. He also hoped that Loney would just succumb and come over. That way, everyone is happy. However, Loney didn't make it any easier. "Tell her that I will see her in two weeks," Loney soun

Loney ignored Paul's last question, strode to Mabel's room and knocked on her door. Mabel was asleep but woke up at the sound of the knock. Being the housekeeper and being in charge of everyone, she couldn't sleep too deeply for fear of losing out on something important. She thought that perhaps an emergency had happened and one of the maids had come to inform her. She stood from the bed, covered herself with a morning coat and turned the knob open. She was surprised to see Loney at the door, padded with a stern grimace. Mabel panicked slightly, fearing that something must have happened, as she forced a smile, "master, you are welcome," she said politely. Loney ignored her pleasantries. For as long as he was concerned, Danica was being maltreated and treated like a maid, doing the chores she wasn't supposed to do and that burned him. "Downstairs, we need to talk." He commanded. Mabel's panic deepened, her heart rate increased. Loney never spoke to her in that manner and therefore, sh
