Loney knew without a doubt that this was Daniella's gift. He made a call to Paul to inform him about everything and instructed that all furniture be changed and all Danica's clothes including those Loney purchased for the unborn child be discarded. However, he couldn't bring himself to tell Danica yet, even though the look on her face showed she suspected he was hiding something. Doctor Jeff had excused them, reading from Loney's body language that he wanted to be alone. "We shouldn't be keeping secrets right? Tell me." It wasn't a question. It was a demand from Danica. "Your sister sent a message through Jones that she left you a little gift." Loney didn't try to massage it. He needed Danica to understand the severity of her sister's evil ways. Danica's heart broke. "why does she hate me so much?" Her soft words made Loney's heart sink. He hated to see her that way. "Forget about her okay. I will take you to a hotel for now. We have to dispose of all clothes and clean the house we

"Give birth to the child. I will run a paternity test and if it's positive, then we can talk." This wasn't what Daniella expected. Why did Loney have to be so clever? But she wasn't ready to give up. She needed money. After paying Ray the part payment, she doesn't have much left. Besides, she would need more money to keep up this game so she said, "Before then, a pregnant woman needs care and a good home. What about that?" Her voice sounded casual. However, Loney was not a fool and wasn't one to typically mess with. Not after what those surrogates did to him when he desperately needed a child. However, he was a responsible man who would take responsibility for his action but something inside him told him that whatever Daniella might be carrying in her womb, whether a cow or goat, wasn't his. "I will not take responsibility until I confirm that the child is mine, which I seriously doubt," he sounded curt and unfeeling, his expression blank. Daniella had to think fast. From what Rosa

Danica's excitement washed the backache she felt when Loney arrived. Herty had spent a lot of time with her till the latter had gone to sleep in Danica's room. Loney knew how to soothe her backache and swollen legs. Most times soaking her legs in warm water, he will kneel and kiss her bump, resting his head and listening to his child's heartbeat. The baby nonetheless was sure to send some kicks, showing him that he was faring well. "How are you today?" He said gently to her while hugging her from the back. Danica had dished out his food on a plate which he took from her to the dining table after giving her a passionate kiss. "I'm happy that you are here," Danica confessed as she followed him to the dining room. Loney sat on the chair and beckoned her to sit on his lap while he ate. In her state, he has kicked against her waiting for him to eat together and for the sake of her unborn child, she obliged. Her right hand snaked behind his back while he ate. Loney loved the feel of her ar

Danica sat on the floor of the van, her hand hugging her bump, her heart in her throat with the sequel of events. What was supposed to be an amazing day because she decided to buy some extra stuff for the unborn child, has turned into a nightmare. She was just checking out some stuff when a man walked to her. She felt uncomfortable with his presence and just before she opened her mouth to tell him to give her space, he pressed a revolver to her bump. Fear gripped her like venom. She obeyed the man's command to walk him without creating suspicion. Luckily for her, Gideon had been watching her through the glass door from outside because he wanted to give them space. To her horror, a bullet penetrated his chest before he could stop the man but that didn't stop him from also sending out some bullets that injured two of Jerome's men, if not kill them before the police arrived. From where she sat, she couldn't see outside. Were these people after Loney? Was that the reason why he told her

The nurse was scared. His behaviour could worsen the patient's condition and the nurse feared being at the receiving end of his anger therefore, she veered to Dr Jeff's office. He would know what to do. He couldn't protect her. He couldn't protect her. He failed. How would she perceive him when she woke up? Regret and confusion washed him as he continued to sob. Paul was trying to understand everything but nothing seemed to make sense to him. Whichever way, he tried to console Loney. "She will be fine. You just have to be there for her." "She will hate me," Loney's tone was bitter. Her sister kidnapped her because of-" "Loney, your surrogate has been inquiring of you. What are you doing here?" Dr Jeff's voice broke through Loney's last words. The nurse had come to inform him that Loney was going nuts because of the accident patient in the emergency ward, which got him startled. He wondered what the patient did to get him so hysterical. Nonetheless, Dr Jeff's words began to sink in
